Chapter 4 Opening of a Florist (Part II)
Ye Feng's flower shop finally opened, and the name was "Gardener Flowers".
There was no ribbon cutting and no advertising. It's just a sign outside the façade.
"The new store opens, half price discount on all flowers, buy one get one free!"
At the entrance of the flower shop, Ye Feng is full of red and purple roses and fragrant lilies. Each flower that has been strengthened by plants is tall and full, bright in color, as bright and vibrant as when the bud first blooms. Pedestrians passing by couldn't help but stop in front of the flower shop, their eyes firmly attracted by these brilliant flowers.
Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, as long as you compare the goods.
Most of the customers who come to the shopping street are young people with a lot of spending power. Most people have experience in buying flowers, and at a glance, the flowers in the maple flower shop are in excellent condition. Bright and delicate, there is no sign of wilting or staining, and the flower shape is also in the best blooming state. Usually you can only see the beautiful and flawless flowers in the photographic works and PS photos, but at the moment they are so pretty, thousands of flowers compete in front of everyone.
Many pedestrians immediately walked into the flower shop with great interest. Most of the people who shop are here to pass the time and relax, and now when you see such a beautiful flower shop opening, you can't help but feast your eyes.
Walking into the small shop, customers can't help but be amazed.
The flower shop of less than 60 square meters has a simple decoration and a clean wooden floor. The containers are filled with all kinds of flowers, dazzling but orderly arranged, making people feel like they have entered a small flower exhibition. The florist is divided into two districts. In the flower area, there are roses, chrysanthemums, lilies, carnations, forget-me-nots and other gift flowers. In the potted area, there are various small potted plants such as orchids, begonias, cacti, pagoda flowers, and rich bamboos. The people who entered the flower shop were then surprised to find that there was not a single wilted and yellow plant in the whole flower shop, and each flower appeared to be vibrant, shiny in color, and tall in shape. Of all the flowers, there is not a single one that is not a boutique. It seems that each flower has been carefully cared for and selected, and there is no phenomenon of flowers with yellowing leaves and withered petals like ordinary florists. It gives the impression that the flowers of the whole flower shop are blooming at the same time, and they are in the best blooming condition.
At the first sight of them, customers can't help but fall in love with these flowers. If you prefer roses, you will find the lilies here also very attractive. If you like large flowers, you will find the orchids here delicate and durable. Walking in the small shop, everyone didn't notice the crampedness of this place at all, only felt surrounded by a pleasing scene, and unconsciously intoxicated in this small world.
Ye Feng poured into the flowers that can be planted, exuding a unique atmosphere that is pleasing to the eye, coupled with the quality of ordinary flowers, so that many people can't help but feel heartfelt affection and love.
Seeing the customers with surprise, admiration, and amazement, concentrating on admiring the flowers in his own flower shop, Ye Feng felt a sense of pride and a smile.
"Finally the first step." Ye Feng thought happily.
"Ah, what a beautiful rose!"
In the corner of the flower shop, a customer subconsciously let out an exclamation, which was an uncontrollable exclamation that was shocked by something. The eyes of the other customers turned to that place for a moment.
I saw a girl in her twenties, wearing denim shorts and a white t-shirt, looking pure and sweet. There were rows of potted plants on the wooden shelves in front of her, and her eyes fell on one of the potted plants at the top.
It was a white rose, planted in a pot, and a pure white flower quietly bloomed on the green branches. At first glance, there is nothing unusual, only a lone white flower blooming among the green leaves. But after a closer look, everyone present suddenly found that the white rose body showed a jade-like translucent texture. The dark green branches, the dark green leaves, and the snow-white petals all exude a lustre, as if it was not a pot of flowers, but a jade carving.
It was indeed a living rose, with a misty luster, and its petals were snow-white without the slightest blemish, spotless, and full of aura. Everyone, at the first sight of it, will instantly have a sense of suffocation in their thinking, this beauty is unbelievable, unexpected, followed by the gaze is attracted by a magnet, lingering on every part of its body that seems to have been carefully carved by God, and is deeply surrounded by the feeling of beauty.
The girl was shocked by this pink carved rose, and couldn't help but exclaim involuntarily.
The girl's gaze shifted to the side, wanting to compare other potted plants, and suddenly found that the top row of the shelves was filled with flowers with a strange texture, like jade. The difference is that different kinds of flowers such as red roses, blue roses, black roses, chrysanthemums, and purple chrysanthemums are planted in other pots. But what is the same is that each flower is as crystal clear as jade, bright and moist in color, elegant and flawless.
In contrast, the flowers on the other shelves seem to have become vulgar powders that set off the peerless beauty, and become mortals at the feet of the fairy, eclipsed.
The girl's eyes fell on the price tag of this pot of roses - 9999. I couldn't help but gasp. Oh my God, this boss really dares to shout the price, and it is so expensive. Is this rose really worth that much money? Will anyone buy it?
The girl took a look and found that these special flowers in the store were sold very expensive, all of them were at the level of 10,000 yuan. The most expensive one was priced at 500,000 yuan!
It was a half-meter-high camellia, and there were nine colors of camellia blooming on a tea tree at the same time, and the forms were different, and it was clearly grafted with different kinds of camellia by extremely high means. However, the whole camellia is so integrated that there is no trace of artificial grafting or pruning, which makes one wonder how the growers managed to do it.
Nine-color camellia, bright red, light red, pure white, bright yellow, golden yellow, pink, pink green, pink yellow, light purple, purple blue, competing on the same tea tree, with different charms, like nine peerless beauties playing and laughing together. The green leaves and vigorous branches perfectly bring out the noble beauty of the camellia.
This camellia cost Ye Feng a lot of effort. On that day, on a whim, he minced and mixed the leaves of several different camellias, and then used growth acceleration to try to breed a camellia that could produce a variety of colors. However, due to the rejection of the cells of different varieties of camellia, it is difficult to coexist compatible, and after more than a dozen failures, it finally succeeded in giving birth to a tea plant containing a variety of mixed camellia cells. The color of the flowers on each branch is random, and it may be any of them. After giving birth to flowering, after getting the desired nine-color camellia, Ye Feng spent a large number of plants to strengthen it to the limit and reach the level of the best flower. It is used to make the treasure of the town store and attract customers.
This nine-color superb camellia that took Ye Feng a week of work to make really lived up to Ye Feng's expectations, and left a deep impression on everyone who saw it. Many of the customers took out their mobile phones or digital cameras to take pictures of the flowers in the store.
Ye Feng did not stop taking pictures. Just remind customers not to move their eyes. When the customer goes back and puts the photo on the scarf, the flower-loving customers will come and make an advertisement for Ye Feng's flower shop for free.
Customers who enter the door find that the flowers in the flower shop are much more expensive than the market price. Like an ordinary flower shop with red roses, they sell for 4 yuan a flower, but the price here is 8 yuan. And special varieties such as blue roses were sold for 50 yuan each, which can be described as expensive and scary.
However, the half-price implementation of Ye Feng's opening three days plus the buy-one-get-one-free promotion, as a result, the selling price of these flowers is much cheaper than the market price. Many people walked into the flower shop and were tempted, taking advantage of the opportunity to catch up with the discount to buy some, such a discount price can buy such a boutique grade of flowers, everyone agrees that it is worth the money.
"Boss, wrap me a bouquet of white roses, I want 9! ~" The girl in the previous girl shorts ran to the counter with a bundle of white roses and said excitedly.
She likes white roses very much, especially the pot of excellent white roses just now, but she is just an ordinary clerk and can't afford to buy such expensive ones, so she can only settle for the next best. If you don't compare it with those superb roses, this ordinary white rose looks very good. At least it's fresh and showy.
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you." Ye Feng took the flower with a smile, took out the wrapping paper and streamers, and wrapped them skillfully. In order to be proficient in the packaging of flowers, Ye Feng specially bought a few books on flower packaging, spent a week practicing packaging skills, and has mastered several commonly used flower packaging techniques.
The flowers are good-looking, and the packaging is almost not affected. It's like people look good, and they look good in anything.
The girl left with the roses in her arms. She wanted to take it back to the company, and told her female colleagues that it was given by a handsome guy, which made those stingy women envious and jealous. As soon as the girl walked on her front foot, a young couple came up and bought a bouquet of red roses.
Ye Feng according to their request red roses with perfume lilies, embellished with tung leaves and forget-me-not, another business is done.
Someone started the way, and the next one got better and better. The crowd enthusiastically bought a rose, a bouquet of flowers, and a potted plant. Opening in the morning until closing in the afternoon, Ye Feng's flower shop business has always been in a hot state, except for those high-end flowers, low-end flowers have been snapped up.
Considering the needs of different customers, and it is impossible to take the high-end route immediately at the beginning, it is still necessary to properly take into account the ordinary customer group, so Ye Feng has set several grades of flowers. The first grade, that is, the minimally fortified flowers, accounts for half of the number of flowers in the store, and the unit price is in the range of a few yuan to dozens of yuan. In the middle grade, the plant energy cost to strengthen is about three times that of the first grade, and the price ranges from more than 100 yuan to hundreds of yuan, and Ye Feng also calls it "100 yuan grade". The high-end grade is a thousand-yuan grade, and the degree of intensification of these flowers is much higher than that of the hundred-yuan grade, and a plant will almost consume all the plant energy of Ye Feng. The price of the best grade is more than 10,000 yuan, and it takes a day to cultivate a maple plant, during which the plant is constantly used to strengthen, and then the energy is restored and then strengthened, repeated many times, and the total amount of plant energy consumed is more than three digits.
On the first day of opening, Ye Feng sold all the low-grade flowers. Because they are sold at close to cost price, the income is almost negligible. Ye Feng's move was to make the signboard of "Gardener Flowers" an instant hit. However, thirteen copies of the hundred-yuan grade flowers were sold, which made Ye Feng make a small profit. No one cares about the thousand-yuan grade and above, but Ye Feng is not worried, it's just that the people who know the goods haven't appeared, or they are still waiting. After a while, when these people discover the magic hidden in Ye Feng's flowers, they will definitely set off a rush to buy.
At the beginning, the best orchids in Guiling City could be sold for 300,000 yuan, but now they have become Haicheng, the same flowers, this rich place, will you be afraid that no one will buy them?
Moreover, all the flowers in Ye Feng's shop are not only in better condition, but also have a unique and powerful advantage compared to the flowers in other flower shops. That is, flowers that have been strengthened by plants have an extremely long shelf life. In the case of roses, for example, the freshness period is 15 days at most, using preservatives and other preservation treatments. And Ye Feng just started to purchase flowers, and deliberately kept a bunch of minimally strengthened roses, and put them in a vase without doing anything. Now half a month has passed, and the bouquet of roses is still as delicate and upright as when it was just strengthened, without the slightest sign of wilting and deformation. That bouquet of flowers is now Ye Feng has to observe every day, and he wants to see how long the strengthened flowers can keep fresh.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Feng closed and locked the door of the flower shop. I went back to my rental house. At night, Ye Feng counted today's harvest and prepared the flowers to be replenished the next day. For the rest of the time, Ye Feng continued to use plant energy, and then activated the light energy absorption and recovery under the strong light, and then used up the plant energy again, using himself as a charger to charge and discharge it repeatedly. It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the evening that a deep sleepiness hit, and I lay down to sleep.
Even when he was sleeping, Ye Feng's bedroom was still as light as day. Since discovering that the [Light Energy Absorption] he possessed was a passive skill, Ye Feng had developed the habit of drilling into bright places at all times. While absorbing light energy, Ye Feng's energy can also recover faster with the recovery of plant energy, so with the light on, Ye Feng sleeps more soundly.
In the past half a month of preparing for the flower shop, Ye Feng has been repeatedly consuming plant energy almost every day. With the repeated cycle of plant energy consumption and recovery, Ye Feng found that his energy ceiling had increased a lot. When I looked at the systematic review, I realized that my body data had changed unconsciously.
Ye Feng's current status is:
[Plant Master: Ye Feng]
[Level: Stage 1]
[Soul Strength: 15]
[**Live surname: 4]
[Plant Energy: 30/30] (Note: 1 Soul Power can withstand 2 Plant Energy)
[Ability: Light Energy Absorption, Plant Scanning, Plant Enhancement, Plant Growth Acceleration]"
Only then did Ye Feng know that the capacity of plant energy was closely related to the strength of the soul. Soul strength, according to the interpretation of "plant master", is a general surname parameter of the biological soul, which is mainly determined by three things: mental power, will, and intelligence. However, Ye Feng couldn't know exactly what the extent of these three indicators was, because the "Plant Control Instrument" did not have the corresponding detection function.
Speaking of which, sometimes Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder if the "Plant Control Instrument" was a product of advanced civilization, why didn't even have an intelligent program. The functions that come with it are extremely simple, and the database only records the basic use of the controller, in addition to producing plant energy, its human-computer interaction ability gives Ye Feng the feeling of a game console, and can only use the instrument according to the program set inside, Ye Feng presses a button and it moves, calling it to the left It will definitely not go to the right. Even Ye Feng couldn't use it to calculate how many 1+1 equals, and the plant controller didn't respond to anything unrelated to plant control at all.
Ye Feng thought, maybe it is really the same as the information in the instructions for use that comes with the "Plant Controller", the Plant Controller does not have any intelligent system, it is just a simple instrument, giving the user the ability to control the plant. This ability is achieved through plant energy, which itself seems to act as an energy intermediary.
Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe Ye Feng's condition by eating a heavenly treasure and then gaining an ability. After the plant control device was fused into Ye Feng's soul, it had become an inseparable existence from him, and Ye Feng had obtained a strange object as an ability—an ability to control plants.
In any case, Ye Feng is full of confidence in the future. Although he doesn't know what it will develop into in the future, for now, this ability can help him make money and improve his physique, which has made him very satisfied.
Ye Feng officially began his life of running a flower shop in Shenzhen. From 9 to 5, I use a tricycle to pull flowers from the rental house to the florist every morning, and return to the rental house in the evening to make fortified flowers like crazy. Soon, after three days of opening, the signboard of Ye Feng's "Gardener Flowers" has a certain reputation in Dongmen Pedestrian Street. Many people have heard about the newly opened flower shop here that sells fantastic flowers. There are customers who come to see the style. In this way, the fame of gardeners' flowers snowballed.
