In the afternoon, Zhang Taiping took out the three chrysanthemums and the old tree stump, as well as an unknown orchid dug up in the orchid valley. For this orchid, Zhang Taiping is full of expectations.

Cai Yazhi didn't watch Zhang Taiping tinker with these flowers and trees next to him in the afternoon, but sat under the eaves of the front yard to collect the soles of his shoes, now that it was winter, there was nothing to do, so he was going to make a pair of cotton shoes for the father and daughter. A few years ago, Zhang Dashuai not only didn't wear the shoes he made, but threw them directly into the fire, and after two times, she didn't make them for him, but just made a pair for herself and Yaya every year. But now, Zhang Taiping has improved, and she is thinking about making a pair of shoes again. It's not just a pair of shoes, it's a heart.

Yaya also ran out to play, leaving Zhang Taiping alone in the back room, with the faithful lion lying next to him.

The first thing is to prune the configuration of the three chrysanthemums a little bit to make them look better. Now these three pots of flowers are no longer the ones they just bought from the studio under the moisture of the space spring.

This pot of chrysanthemum is called the Great White Lotus, and the flower shape could have reached a diameter of 20 centimeters at most, but after being watered by space water, it broke through its own shackles and reached an uncommon diameter of 30 centimeters. It's just that after being in the yard for so long, now the flowers have fallen a little decay and have lost a little appreciation value. Zhang Taiping thought for a while, put this pot in the space, and watered enough space spring water, the flower shape first decayed rapidly, and the petals fell to the ground and were differentiated. Then the unnatural phenomenon began to brew again, as if slowing down the camera, the flower buds grew little by little, and stopped when they seemed to be open. Zhang Taiping took out the flower pot again, the flower has opened slightly, the preliminary estimate is 30 centimeters in diameter, the flower color is white and elegant, and it looks like a budding lotus flower from a distance. If you want Zhang Taiping to describe it, this flower can no longer be described as a lady, and it has the temperament of the queen in the chrysanthemum.

The other two pots of flowers did the same, but they only stopped when they were about to bud. This time, the purple chrysanthemum grew a total of three flowers, divided into three directions into the posture of the Three Kingdoms, and it has the meaning of Sanyang Kaitai, which is worth many times more than the previous appearance. As for Xiaoju, the change is not too big, but the color is brighter, Zhang Taiping originally wanted to re-use the space water to make it repeat the four seasons, but after thinking about it, he gave up this plan, and he still understands the truth that it is too much, it can't be so good that all three plants are so good, and it is more reasonable to keep one plant that is a little ordinary.

After processing these flowers, Zhang Taiping began to prepare to prune and construct this old stake dug back from the mountain.

At this moment, the lion lying next to Zhang Taiping lazily squinting suddenly got up and ran out, and then there was a low roar, not the sound of attack, but with a warning meaning. Zhang Taiping guessed that an acquaintance had come outside.

"Is the big handsome in there?" The voice of the old village chief came.

Zhang Taiping got up and went out, the old village chief stood under the laurel tree with a dry tobacco pot, and the lion stared at him at the door of the back room, and pounced on him if he made the slightest movement.

Don't look at the lion has not grown up yet, not even an adult, if there is a human growth stage to compare, it is still just a small child, but the length is lumpy, already the size of the average earth dog, inherited all the advantages of the parents, to stand there is not a small momentum, has been able to show grandeur. The village chief didn't dare to treat it like an ordinary puppy, so he stopped and made a noise to the house and stood there motionless.

"Lion, get out of the way, it's an acquaintance." After Zhang Taiping came out, he said to the lion who was still on guard.

Then the little one wagked his tail and got out of the way, and ran into the house.

When the village chief saw that the lion was so smart, he couldn't help but sigh: "You dog is so smart, I didn't expect the handsome man to have a set of dogs." In the courtyard outside just now, if Xiao Zhi hadn't drunk Ah Huang away, he would have been lying at the door, even if he didn't scream, I wouldn't have dared to pass by him. I didn't see anything special about Ah Huang before, but I didn't expect to grow up again and change into a good dog who is both obedient and fierce. ”

Zhang Taiping smiled and didn't speak, it's really not worth saying anything, I can't tell him that this is all the effect of the space spring water and it doesn't have much to do with him, so it's better to shut up and not say it.

When he let the village chief into the study, he immediately praised the three chrysanthemums on the ground, and even an old farmer without Qingya cells could feel the beauty and extraordinaryness of these pots of flowers.

"It's a chrysanthemum, right? It's so big. "The old village chief was a little surprised when he recognized what kind of flower it was.

"It's a chrysanthemum, but it's a variety with big flowers. The other two strains are also different varieties. ”

The old village chief raised his head and looked at Zhang Taiping again, as if he was newly acquainted, and said: "Dashuai is really hidden deeply, even flowers can be cultivated so well." ”

"It's just nothing to do."

The old village chief pointed at Zhang Taiping with a smile and said, "This is not something that can be made by playing. Presumably, some time ago, Dashuai suddenly had a sum of money, and this is where it came from. Although he was asking, he said in a fixed tone.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhang Taiping really didn't spend too much time on these flowers, but just watered the space water a few times. Since the old village chief had found a source for the money he got from selling saffron some time ago, he responded with the boat.

The old village chief then asked: "I wonder how much this pot of flowers can be sold in the city?" He didn't ask about the market, but about the price in the city, because he also knew that the flower must be worth a lot of money, and that the rural people would not spend a lot of money on something that could not be eaten or used purely as a decoration, so they could only sell it to the people in the city.

Zhang Taiping didn't hide it, but just pushed the price down slightly: "One plant can be sold for thousands of yuan." ”

"Tsk, a few thousand dollars, a flower is the top of the harvest in the first half of the year. I thought it was a few hundred dollars. The people who broke through outside are amazing, you see that no one in our village thought that chrysanthemums could be sold for money, and they were sky-high. ”

"I also watched people sell flowers to make money at the flower market in the city, so I learned to tinker with it myself, but I didn't expect it to be really successful."

The old village chief saw the three-hundred-year-old tree stump that Zhang Taiping was about to prune just now on the desk: "I heard Wang Gui say that when you entered the mountain, you found a tree stump, and it seems to be very valuable to look at the people in the city, is this the thing?" ”

"Well, that's it."

"I can't see what kind of name it is, how can it be 20,000 yuan?"

"This is actually a wooden stake, and it is worth it in the eyes of those who like it."

"Anyway, Uncle doesn't understand, he is still handsome, better than those people in the city, you can find this treasure of tens of thousands of yuan at a glance, you are the most promising person in our village."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said he didn't dare.

The old village chief asked again: "Look you still have scissors here, are you preparing to prune?" ”

"Well, after pruning, you can only take it out and sell it by grafting a new branch. Now it can be sold like this, but the price will be greatly reduced, and the price will be higher after regrafting. As he spoke, Zhang Taiping's brows couldn't help frowning.

Why didn't I think before, this old stump and the orchid obtained in the Butterfly Valley have all been seen, if they are pruned like this and then watered with space spring water, these two things will immediately change greatly, and the degree of change does not match the time, it is a loophole.

Originally, I thought that after grafting this old stump, I would grow an unknown orchid and sell it at the flower market or those private fairs along with the chrysanthemums and cinnamon, but now it seems that I can't, and once anyone who entered the mountain at that time sees it, they will feel evil.

It seems that the unknown orchid can't be taken out and sold, as for this old stump, it is simply pruned, not grafted, and no longer spawned with space spring water, it can still be taken out and sold, but the price will not be as high as after grafting. But in the future, I will use money to do what I want to do before and after the new year, so I can only simply repair it and sell it in a few days.

Cai Yazhi made some tea and brought it in, Zhang Taiping put the old stump on the ground, and the two sat at the table and drank tea.

Zhang Taiping asked, "I don't know what my uncle is here for this time?" ”

The old village chief took a sip of water and put down the teacup and said, "I repaired the house a few days ago, and I have been tinkering in the yard for the past few days. Wang Peng said you want to dig a fish pond on the ground south of your house? ”

Zhang Taiping secretly said in his heart that Wang Peng is really a big mouth: "There is this idea." ”

"Tell me what's going on in your heart?"

Zhang Taiping then repeated the words he gave to Wang Peng and Cai Yazhi that day.

The old village chief puffed out the smoke and said: "Your idea is good, the farmhouse can indeed make money, and the changes in Fengyukou Village in recent years are obvious to everyone." It's just that Uncle has been worried that there will be no humanity in our ravine, since you are so confident, you can be regarded as taking the lead in testing the water for everyone, Uncle has no reason not to support it. Say what you need. ”

"Yes, when the time comes, I won't be able to say that my uncle and the villagers will help me."

"Now people are happy to help you, and your salary is dozens of dollars higher than elsewhere. As for the question of that piece of land, when do you want it? ”

Zhang Taiping said: "It may not be excavated until the end of the year, just get it before then." ”

"Well, what is your position on the price of an acre of land?"

"To be honest, I don't understand this, so the village will give me a number for reference at that time."

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the rest of the village and give you a discount, after all, if you do this, it will be a great favor to the village."

"Okay, you can just inform me after you have discussed it."

The old village chief left after asking about the matter, and Zhang Taiping sent it to the front yard and returned to the back room.
