Chapter 2 The ability begins to show its power, saving hundreds of flowers
It is not easy to make a sum of money out of thin air, especially in rural areas, where it is difficult for rural people to earn money, and it is even more difficult for them to spend money.
Originally, Zhang Shuhai planned to buy flower seeds after dropping out of school, planting flowers and selling them for money, which was linked to his own ability, even if he couldn't make a lot of money, he would not be worse off than others. But the current situation is very different from the original idea, not only did he not succeed in dropping out of school, but also did not have much capital, not to mention that there are still fifty-five days left before the end of school, even if it is too late to buy seeds and plant flowers.
Zhang Shuhai thought about it all night, but he still couldn't think of a perfect way, so he had to be a bad man, ready to pour some flowers and package them to sell first, and then think of other ways.
Now his question is, what to sell, and how to sell it?
The next day, Zhang Shuhai was about to tell his family about his plan, but he didn't expect Zhang's father to open his mouth first.
Dad Zhang was chatting with Uncle Wang opposite, and when he saw Zhang Shuhai, he called him to Uncle Wang and said, "Xiao Wang, I'll hand over this kid to you, what's so hard and tired, just ask him to do it, and only by suffering a little can he know that it's not easy outside." ”
Zhang Shuhai's face was full of doubts, wondering what kind of trouble he was making, he wanted to make money, but he didn't want to earn any hard-earned money.
Uncle Wang excused himself and said, "I said, what are you going to do, Xiaohai is a college student, follow me?" Isn't there something wrong with that? ”
Father Zhang turned to Zhang Shuhai and said, "Don't you want to make money, I'll find you a job." ”
Zhang Shuhai said: "What did you do, did I say that you want to find a job to do?" ”
Zhang's father asked rhetorically: "How can you make money if you don't look for a job?" I really want to drink the northwest wind. ”
Uncle Wang waved his hand and explained, "Quanxin Town, south of Quanzhuang, is moving, and I will help people move things over there. ”
Zhang Shuhai asked: "Moving?" How many houses do you still have to find someone to move? ”
Uncle Wang replied: "Lanqiao, which was demolished some time ago, knows, the whole village has moved over, and when the time comes, it will be calculated by household, the first floor will be 80 per household, the second floor will be moved to 120 yuan, and the third floor will be 150 yuan, how are you?" ”
Zhang Shuhai's strength is not small now, and if he really moves, he will not be worse than others, but he doesn't want to be a coolie. Last night he was thinking about what to sell, and now the opportunity has come, the house that he is just about to move into, the most lacking thing must be flowers and plants, especially the flowers and plants that absorb formaldehyde in the house, this is really what is missing, Zhang Shuhai almost jumped up with joy.
His expression was misunderstood by Zhang's father and Uncle Wang, thinking that Zhang Shuhai wanted to move things with Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang asked a little unconvinced: "You want to go?" ”
Zhang Shuhai smiled and said, "Go, but don't move things." ”
Uncle Wang was suddenly puzzled and asked, "If you don't move things, then what are you going to do?" Be an overseer! There was a hint of disdain in the words.
Father Zhang suddenly said angrily: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he dares to be lazy, I can't spare him." ”
Zhang Shuhai said with certainty: "Anyway, I won't go, not to mention that I didn't ask you to find me a job at all, I have a way to make money myself." ”
Father Zhang didn't believe Zhang Shuhai's words at all, and had already begun to blow his beard and stare at him. But Uncle Wang believed it and said with a smile: "I just said that a college student can earn more than me by doing anything casually, how can he move things." ”
When Zhang Shuhai heard this, he kept muttering in his heart, although this is a good word, but the meaning behind it is that he can't endure hardship. But he didn't pay attention, as if he didn't hear it, and still smiled.
Father Zhang looked at Zhang Shuhai's smiling face and threatened: "I want to see, what do you want to do?" ”
Zhang Shuhai put aside his father's threat in the blink of an eye, and began to check what flowers and plants were needed for the newly renovated house.
Considering that he does not have many assets, and rural people will not buy too expensive flowers and plants, Zhang Shuhai can only choose relatively small plants, groping and checking on the computer for a long time, and finally screened out three plants: Phnom Penh spider plant, bamboo and autumn chrysanthemum.
The spider plant was chosen mainly because it can absorb toxic substances, especially formaldehyde, and the effect is very good. On top of that, spider plants are very cheap, and a smaller Phnom Penh spider plant can be bought for less than five yuan.
Bamboo is a good ornamental plant, which can be placed in the living room, study, and bedroom, purifying the air and creating an elegant, quiet and comfortable atmosphere. Bamboo can be small or large, small can be planted in a wine glass, large can be several meters high, Zhang Shuhai took a fancy to some cheap small bamboo.
Autumn chrysanthemum is suitable for putting on the balcony, it is highly recognized in the countryside, and the autumn chrysanthemum flowering period is approaching, so it is easier to sell.
After selecting three kinds of flowers, Zhang Shuhai searched out all his belongings, the money he usually spent on shopping and parties, and the money saved by not buying the counseling materials he wanted to buy, all of them added together, four hundred and eighty-six yuan, excluding the money to buy flower pots, and the rest of the money to buy flowers was not much.
In order to save money on freight, Zhang Shuhai decided to ride an electric tricycle to the flower and bird market in the city. He used to go to the flower and bird market by bus, but now it takes more than an hour to get there by electric tricycle.
Zhang Shuhai got up early in the morning, asked three times along the way to the flower and bird market, and then, Zhang Shuhai went straight to the place of spider plant and Wenzhu.
There are a lot of people in these two places, and many of them are flower shop owners who drive cars to buy goods, and they are happily carrying all kinds of flowers and plants to the cars.
Waiting for the people in front of him to move the flowers, Zhang Shuhai touched the money in his pocket, puffed up his breath, and asked the boss in a loud voice: "Boss, how do you sell this spider plant?" ”
The boss was a thin and sturdy middle-aged man, he was cleaning up the dirt scattered on the ground, and when he heard Zhang Shuhai ask him, he raised his head, looked at Zhang Shuhai, and said, "My surname is Li, just call me Lao Li." Little brother, your first time? ”
Zhang Shuhai didn't know why the boss asked him so, he replied honestly: "First time." ”
Boss Li smiled and said, "I said, I ordered these goods the day before, if you want to order, you can take it tomorrow." ”
Zhang Shuhai suddenly felt a little hot in his head, and he was prone to mistakes if he was inexperienced, but he still said: "I don't want much, can you sell me a little?" ”
Boss Li was a little unhappy, but he still had the idea of making money with kindness, and asked, "Then how much do you want?" ”
Zhang Shuhai didn't know the price of this shop, so he kept an eye on it and said: "If you want spider plants and bamboo, you can have Qiu Ju, and you can ask for Phnom Penh, a total of two or three hundred yuan." He felt that such a big flower shop would not cheat him for three or four hundred yuan.
Boss Li thought about it carefully, pointed to several kinds of flowers piled up in a corner of the house, and said: "The ones that were dug up yesterday are all owned by the owner, if you want it, I can give you that pile of flowers, it is also a good flower, but it can't be processed after two days, if you want, you can give it cheaply." ”
Zhang Shuhai felt that Boss Li seemed to be in a hurry to sell flowers and plants to himself, so he followed the direction pointed by Boss Li and saw a bunch of scattered flowers and plants, many of which were dried up, and the soil on the flowers also fell. After careful identification, most of them are spider plants, there are also a lot of bamboos, and there is a little tiger tail orchid, basically these three categories, which are exactly what Zhang Shuhai needs. I can't tell what kind of spider plant it is, it seems that there are gold-edged spider plants, silver-edged spider plants and flower spider plants.
Those flowers not only do not see the sun, but also have no water and nutrients, it seems that they have been left there for a long time, and they smell rotten, some of the leaves are sticky, and many of them die directly.
Zhang Shuhai was suddenly distracted. The most important thing to buy such flowers is to feed them, it seems that in a day or two these flowers will die, and this boss is probably also thinking of slaughtering a sum of money. However, if you rely on the energy released by yourself, you may be able to raise these flowers well. Dying flowers are the cheapest flowers, but they also have the greatest potential for appreciation, so it's not impossible to buy them.
Boss Li saw that Zhang Shuhai was distracted, and explained: "These flowers are left over when others take the goods, there is no problem with the quality, and they will be put away for a long time. ”
Zhang Shuhai pretended to be embarrassed and said, "This, can you live?" ”
Boss Li looked a little anxious and said, "Why can't I live, if I wasn't too busy and didn't have time to deal with it, I could support all of this." ”
Zhang Shuhai hesitated again before saying, "Then, how much does it cost?" ”
Boss Li said: "I don't want much, two hundred yuan, you take all of this." ”
Zhang Shuhai said: "One hundred and fifteen, I don't know how many people will die here." ”
Boss Li didn't want to worry too much about this, so he nodded and said, "Young man, I won't raise the price anymore, just according to what you said, one hundred and fifteen." ”
Zhang Shuhai secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was still expressionless, which made him secretly scold himself for being hypocritical, which really responded to the old saying "no business, no treachery". Thinking of this, Zhang Shuhai looked at Boss Li and found that he was also smiling, as if he was happy about the business he had just done.
Zhang Shuhai paid the money first, and with the help of Boss Li, he moved the flowers to the car. There are more than 300 flowers, which are piled up in the electric tricycle carriage, which can feed half of them, and Zhang Shuhai can earn a lot.
Since the car was full, Zhang Shuhai didn't have time to buy chrysanthemums, so he hurriedly went to find a place to fully charge the electric three-wheeler, had breakfast next to him, and rode back happily.
Only halfway through, Zhang Shuhai couldn't wait to test his ideas. He came to a small forest, put his left hand on the tree, inhaled sharply, and felt a refreshing and warm air flow from his left hand to his whole body, and finally gathered in the dantian. When Zhang Shuhai closed his eyes, he occasionally felt a flash of blue light in the dantian, and suddenly had an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Then, Zhang Shuhai circled around the pile of flowers, because when he released energy, the energy was not under his control, as if it was water evaporating from his body.
Zhang Shuhai inserted the entire palm of his right hand into the withered yellow flower, concentrated, and silently recited the word "put" in his heart, and then he felt a slight colic pain slowly surging from the dantian. Releasing energy is obviously not as comfortable as absorbing energy, but this slight pain Zhang Shuhai doesn't care about it.
He was more concerned about how much of the pile of plants was absorbing energy, and the effect of absorbing energy.
Those energies did not disappoint Zhang Shuhai, only to see that the few bamboos closest to the palm of his hand had begun to recover at a visible speed, the dead leaves and branches quickly fell off, and the most wonderful thing was the root system in the soil, he could clearly feel the soft roots gently touching his palm.
Zhang Shuhai smiled very happily, he felt that he was touching life, or controlling the life of the person. Even if in front of him, there are only a few small bamboos and spider plants, and the small ones are difficult to bring any impact to the world, but these are the best forces that make him feel that he can be independent of the crowd.
There are many vehicles on the road, and whenever someone comes, Zhang Shuhai will stop and pretend to sort out the flowers and plants, although no one on the road cares what he is doing.
After a while, Zhang Shuhai changed places, because he found that the original soil on the roots of the original place had gradually dried out, as if it had been basking in the sun for a long time. Zhang Shuhai guessed that the water was absorbed by the flowers and plants that had regained their vitality.
After trying five places in a row, Zhang Shuhai can confirm 100% that those flowers and plants are absorbing water while absorbing the energy released by themselves. Although Zhang Shuhai could not see the lack of nutrients in the soil, he could confirm that the plants must be absorbing nutrients as well.
Not only that, Zhang Shuhai also made a strange discovery. It's just that many of those flowers and plants don't have a good reaction, but the whole thing becomes yellow. Zhang Shuhai began to think that it was because of the plant species, but it turned out obviously not, because only a few of the tiger tail orchids, spider plants, and bamboos in them died.
Zhang Shuhai took out all the dead plants, carefully observed what was the difference, and when he saw the roots, he suddenly realized. It turns out that there is no soil on the roots of these plants, and without the supply of nutrients and water, the energy he releases becomes poison, like the dead branches of those intact plants, which quickly fall off.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuhai didn't dare to continue, he was worried that other plants would soon wither without nutrients. Zhang Shuhai loaded all the dead plants in the car and prepared to go home and study them again. Then he found a tree, soaked up his energy, and rode home happily.
Along the way, he kept looking back, watching those flowers that were originally rotten together come back to life, and he felt an indescribable sense of happiness.
What he didn't find, however, was that the whole dead plant was not completely dead. Few people pay attention to the roots of a plant, and the same is true for Zhang Shuhai, those few plants that seem to be dead actually concentrate all their energy on the roots, like weeds that dry up in winter, and so on to change life.
