Chapter 204: The Strange Price (I)

Master Qin really likes the red arowana, and takes care of it carefully every day to watch the swimming style of the red arowana. It's a pity that Xiaolong ate the chili red dragon on the first day he came, and then bought a few more one after another, but all of them became Xiaolong's rations.

"But can you control Xiaolong's mouth?" Qin Xuebing felt that this matter was very mysterious, and if he wanted Xiaolong not to eat fish, it was equivalent to letting the addict quit drugs.

"We spoiled this little guy too much before, and we had to be gracious and powerful."

Ye Zijing grabbed the little dragon in her hand and pulled it hard: "If you dare to eat it secretly in the future, feed it red pepper." ”

Xiaolong can fully understand human words, and was immediately taken aback, and hurriedly rubbed Ye Zijing with his brain, as if he was begging for mercy.

"That's it."

Seeing the appearance of the little dragon, Qin Xuebing also felt that it was feasible: "But before that, we have to raise this little guy's mouth and let it know that the taste of the red dragon fish is really bad." ”

"Don't worry, there is a lot of seafood in the vegetable market, and Xiaolong is so smart, he will definitely be able to teach it well." Ye Zijing is full of confidence, no matter what, she will raise a superb red dragon for Master Qin to enrich the old man's life in his later years.

Although Ye Zijing has a heart, it is not easy to find the best red dragonfish, otherwise the best red dragon will not be fried to a high price of one million.

After walking around the flower and bird market twice, I didn't find a chili red dragon worth millions like last time, but it was not without harvest, there were two chili red dragons in very good condition, one worth 600,000 yuan, and the other was worth 300,000 yuan.

These two chili red dragons can be said to be the best of the red arowana, as for the price, it is not high. That's because the body size is relatively small, the 600,000 piece is only 30 centimeters long, and the 300,000 piece is only 20 centimeters.

The reminder of the red arowana has a lot to do with the price. If Qin Xuebing can raise these two chili red dragons for two years and let their body size reach fifty centimeters, they will definitely be sold for a high price of one million.

As for why the shopkeeper didn't wait two years before selling. The reason is very simple, fish farming is risky, if the fish gets sick, or hangs up directly, the loss is called a big one. What's more, the store owner also needs to return the funds.

Ye Zijing fostered the big red dragon fish in the store, and asked the staff to send the small one to the door of the mansion, which was intended to be used to train the little dragon. After making sure that the little dragon will not be greedy, he will take the big one back.

"Let's go buy some more pots of orchids."

Ye Zijing then remembered the main purpose of coming to the flower and bird market today: "It's just right, use orchids to edify your thoughts." ”

Orchid is a kind of flower known for its fragrance, with the characteristics of high purity and elegance. Ancient and modern celebrities have a very high price for it, and it is known as the king of flowers. In ancient literati, the beauty of poetry and writing was often referred to as "Lanzhang", the truth of friendship was referred to as "Lanjiao", and good friends were likened to "Lanke".

Kong is very fond of orchids. Because he attaches great importance to the cultivation of personal ideological qualities, he has placed deep feelings on the orchid, and in the book "Confucian Language" collected and compiled by Wang Su, a Wei man of the Three Kingdoms, a good story of Kong Songlan is recorded.

"Kong said: 'After I die, the business will also increase. Giving is also a day of loss. Zeng said: "What do you mean?" He said: "It is better to be with those who are good at oneself, and it is better to give than oneself." I don't know it, but I regard it as my father; It is concluded that "the king must be careful where he is". Since then, "Zhilan Room" has become synonymous with a good environment and an idiom for Ode to Lan Meilan.

In addition to Kong's love for orchids, there were countless celebrities in ancient times who liked orchids and pinned their spiritual beliefs on orchids, such as Gou Jian, Qu Yuan and so on.

About Gou Jian in Zhu Mountain orchid, there are many records in history, in addition to the "Baoqing Continuation Hui Ji Zhi", such as the Ming Wanli period of the "Shaoxing Mansion Chronicles" record: Lan Zhu Mountain, there is grass, long leaves and white flowers, flowers have Guoxin, its name is called Lan, Gou Jian is the tree, Ming Nan Fengji Note Wang Shipeng "Hui Ji Customs Fu" also said: Lan Ting, that is, Lan Zhu also. "The Book of Yuejue" says: Gou Jian planted Lanzhu Mountain. Xu Wei of the Ming Dynasty also mentioned in the "Orchid Google" that Goujian planted orchids must choose the place, but now Lanzhu is where it is recorded in the "Shaoxing Chronicles": Lanzhu Mountain, in the south of the city twenty-seven miles, Goujian Shulan is here.

Because Gou Jian planted Lanzhu Mountain, the descendants named Zhu Mountain Lanzhu Mountain, named the market under Lanzhu Mountain as the flower street, and named the post pavilion under Lanzhu Mountain Lanting.

Another example is Qu Yuan, who encountered poverty, but his will remained the same, and his deeds were cheaper, "I can't change my mind and follow the vulgar, because I will be sad and end up poor!" He expressed this kind of patriotic aspirations and the feelings of helping the world through a variety of fragrant flowers and plants, touching things to start feelings, asking for things to send aspirations, and made a new development of this kind of comparison technique, which will be the object and me, love and scenery knead and companion, melt and cast a furnace, thus greatly expanding the realm and expressiveness of poetry.

In the selection of fragrant flowers and different plants, Qu Yuan specially selected orchids, so no matter in the "Lisao", "Nine Songs" and "Nine Chapters" many poems, they all wrote about how they were Zilan, Peilan, Xulan, Lanlan, and Dianlan. He placed infinite hopes on Lan: "Yu Zilan is nine acres, and the trees are a hundred acres...... The branches and leaves are lush, and I hope that the time will be complete. ”

He took Lan as his friend and Lan as his bosom friend: "When the time is ambiguous, it will stop, and the orchid will be extended." He took Lan as a pendant, expressing his self-cleaning sentiment: "Hu Jiangli and Xue Zhiling, Su Qiulan thinks it is admired." ”

He was also worried that Lan would wither and conform to the customs in the autumn wind and cold dew, and be apostasy and not fragrant: "When the time is colorful, how can it be drowned?" Lan Zhi has changed but not fragrant, and Quan Pu has turned into a grass. It can be seen how much Qu Yuan loves Lan and praises Lan, and places his affection on Lan, Tolan is ironic, Lan is not a simple metaphor or touching things here, but a symbol, a kind of sustenance, and a pursuit of spirit and character.

From ancient times to the present, there are countless people who like orchids, and even Mr. Lu Xun is a loyal orchid lover.

The Lu Xun family has loved orchids for generations. Lu Xun said in his letter to Yamamoto that "my great-grandfather used to cultivate many orchids and built three rooms for them." On March 18, 1911, Lu Xun, Zhou Jianren and Wang Hezhao went to visit the Dayu Mausoleum at the foot of Huiji Mountain.

Before leaving, Lu Xun asked everyone to bring two paint tinplate buckets and a handful of copper prepared in advance. To the Great Yu Mausoleum, browsed the Yu Temple, the Stone Pavilion, and went to the Huiji Mountain to pick the orchid. Later, Lu Xun wrote this experience of going up the mountain into a travel record and published it.

"I know that the orchid is the flower of the king, but what does this matter to me? Wife, you can't refer to Sang and scold Huai like that. ”

Qin Xuebing solemnly protested, he is not a gentleman, but he is not a bad person, and he refuses to be a monarch: "Besides, if I want to become a gentleman, then you may not even look at me." ”

"That's the same, it's not cute if you want to become a king." Ye Zijing stretched out her hand and touched Qin Xuebing's head.

"Ye Zijing, you treat me as a little white."

Qin Xuebing rolled his eyes, and reached out to mess up Ye Zijing's hair, so that she could understand Xiaobai and Xiaohong's suffering: "But wife, the price of orchids is so expensive, let's buy several pots, isn't it too luxurious?" ”

Although Qin Xuebing is not short of money now, he is also staggering about the price of orchids, which is simply not selling flowers, but selling gold and even jewelry.

Qin Xuebing remembered that at the Asia-Pacific Orchid Conference, a lotus petal orchid named "Suguan Lotus Ding" was estimated at 15 million yuan, becoming the "sky-high" orchid at the Orchid Conference.

"The price of orchids is all speculated, and not all orchids can be sold at sky-high prices." Ye Zijing smiled, the lotus petal orchid "Su Guan Lotus Ding" posture is beautiful, the number is extremely rare, and it integrates the characteristics of the three high-quality orchids of lotus petals, plain heart and leaf grass, which can be called a lotus, two prime, and three odd, with a very high grade, and the price on the market is generally 4 million.

But because of the great influence of the orchid conference, the price of that Suguan lotus tripod was also speculated. To use a more colloquial saying, it's not the flower that is bought, but the flower that has been on the table.

In fact, these are completely in line with the laws of the market, just like the V26 weight loss products more than ten years ago. V26 weight loss products were originally only produced by a foreign manufacturer, and they didn't even have a brand and packaging, so they couldn't be more ordinary.

However, after the introduction of domestic companies, they repackaged and used a series of high-port high-level products such as imports, and the grade of the products was immediately raised, becoming the first domestic weight loss brand at that time, and the price was several times that of domestic weight loss products.

"But the hype is all false." Ye Zijing still remembers the crazy orchid market from 2005 to 2006, 4 native orchid species of "Jinsha chrysanthemum" were sold at a price of 4.8 million yuan each, and more than 800,000 yuan of Xin conch, more than 2 million yuan of "Datang Fengyu", and millions of yuan of "Datang Shengshi" are all sought after. In many places, an orchid is worth a villa, and there are many people in the market who spend a lot of money on orchids.

There is a flower friend named Sister-in-law Dong, who doesn't have much money, but during that time, she made a small fuss and even earned six or seven hundred thousand. There is also a real estate boss surnamed Luo, who invested five or six million and made more money than flipping houses.

"But the prices that are speculated are all imaginary, they are all bubbles, once the bubble is broken, there are not a few people who go bankrupt because of orchids, do you know what happened to this sister-in-law Dong and Boss Luo in the end?" Ye Zijing couldn't help but sigh, who could have imagined that the "fried orchid" clan that was extremely beautiful back then would face a huge test in the end.

"They won't all go bankrupt and commit suicide by jumping off a building, right?" Qin Xuebing felt that it was very possible, just like antiques and gambling stones, there were countless people who got rich, and countless people who committed suicide went bankrupt.

"I heard from friends in the flower market that when the financial crisis came, it was when the bubble burst, and the original sky-high price of orchids could not be sold at all. That sister-in-law Dong, who originally purchased orchids for one or two hundred yuan, couldn't sell them for one or two hundred yuan, and all the funds were stuck on the flower seedlings, and it was very difficult to even maintain a basic life. ”

Ye Zijing shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "As for that Boss Luo, it's even worse!" ”

: Thank you for the hot reward of "Hell Judge Miao!! Thanks for the "Boom" vote for the three chapters, but I'm moving tonight, and I can't spare time to fight if I want to, sweat. (To be continued......)
