The early morning sun shines on the towering buildings, and the meager golden light reflects the bustling appearance of the city. The continuous blocks, with no end in sight, are divided into complex small pieces like a chessboard by large and small roads. On the highway, it is already busy early in the morning, and the pedestrians are bustling, showing a vibrant appearance.

This is Haicheng, one of the most economically and culturally developed cities in the Celestial Empire. Walking on the street, many of them are young people from all over the world, they are full of vitality, with perseverance in their expressions, and they are working hard with the dream of breaking out of the world here.

In the early morning, trains arrived at the Haicheng Central Railway Station one after another, and passengers from all over the country continued to pour out of the station.

In the midst of the crowd, a young man with an inconspicuous appearance carrying a black backpack stopped at the gate of the station and looked up at the magnificent city in front of him. Sensing the thriving atmosphere of the city, the man smiled, straightened his strap, and strode forward.

After a long journey of sixteen hours, Ye Feng came to Haicheng.

Following the signs, Ye Feng came to the subway entrance next to the train station. Haicheng City built a subway a few years ago, which provides great convenience for citizens to travel. The factory where Ye Feng's parents work is located in Longmen District, which can be reached in only twenty minutes by subway.

It wasn't the first time Ye Feng had come to Haicheng. His parents have been working in Haicheng for so many years, and he has been here many times, so he is already somewhat familiar. I took the subway to my parents' town, and then took the bus to the community where my parents lived.

Ye Feng's parents rented a low-rent house here, 60 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, and a monthly rent of 500. In Haicheng, such a rental house is relatively cheap. Ye Feng's parents have been living here for more than ten years.

Ye Feng walked to the gate of the community, and his mother Su Li was already there to greet him. Father Ye Ming had to go to work and couldn't spare time for the time being, so he didn't come.

"Xiao Feng, you didn't even tell me in advance when you came to Haicheng. I'm tired from the car, so I'll make porridge and eat. Mother nagged.

"Okay." Ye Feng said with a smile. I followed my mother into the "house".

Ye Feng's hometown is in a county called Lingshan in the south of Guiling City. Ye Feng's father had two brothers, and he himself was the second. The uncle settled in a rural town, and the grandparents lived in the county seat with the third uncle. The third uncle works in the county traffic police brigade, his income is not bad, and he does a good job of supporting the elderly.

Ye Feng was brought up by his grandparents, a typical left-behind child, and he didn't live in Guiling for four years until college. My parents have lived in Haicheng for 20 years, but for my parents, Haicheng has long become their second hometown, their second home. To be precise, this is Ye Feng's real home.

When he came to the living room, he saw a few plates of pickles and white rice porridge on the dining table, and Ye Feng was already moving his index finger. Immediately drank several large bowls of porridge. The refreshing porridge water and the delicious pickles are a perfect match, and it is wonderful, Ye Feng only felt that all the fatigue of the boat and car along the way was eliminated in that moment.

Pickled white rice porridge, the taste of hometown, Ye Feng grew up eating such food. When you are tired, you can eat such a meal, and your body and mind will be nourished together.

In the evening, his father Ye Ming came back from work with a few boxes of cooked vegetables. Mother also made Ye Feng the braised pork that he and his father liked to eat, and made a good winter melon soup. The family eats happily together. I haven't experienced this for a long time. In order to make money, his parents worked outside Ye Feng soon after he was born, and the two sides didn't see each other a few times a year. In the past 20 years, the time spent eating and living together may not add up to a year. Despite this, Ye Feng never blamed his parents. They do this just to earn money for their own living and education, and how can they not feel uncomfortable when they are separated from their children? When I was a child, I didn't know what to do, but when I grew up, I shouldn't blame my parents, Ye Feng felt that it was too unusual.

Anyway, I've grown up healthy, haven't I?

When thinking of this question, Ye Feng always comforted himself like this. Although, the long-term separation did have a certain impact on him and his parents, so that now he feels that his parents are not as close as his grandparents, and there is an inexplicable sense of alienation. It is a tacit understanding that can only be formed after years of living together. Despite this, Ye Feng and his parents are trying to make up for this shortcoming, doubling their desire to make each other feel their love. When Ye Feng had an accident, his parents were even more desperate, risking losing their jobs, and rushed from Haicheng City to Guiling City overnight to take care of him. Ye Feng came this time and brought a lot of gifts that his parents liked・・・・・・ both parties could feel that this kind of blood-related family affection would not be changed by time or distance.

After a day's rest, early the next morning, Ye Feng went out.

With a map and pen in hand, Ye Feng began to take the subway and bus to visit Haicheng. I went to the most prosperous neighborhoods and famous scenic spots in Haicheng City, and had an intuitive impression of the city conditions of Haicheng City.

During this period, Ye Feng recorded the characteristics of each commercial block, and recorded useful information such as store sublease advertisements that he saw during the tour. Ye Feng's start-up capital is not much, and in a place like Haicheng, where every inch of land is at a premium, he must plan well and choose the most suitable location to open a store.

Haicheng City has six jurisdictions, the most prosperous of which is Nanjiang District, which is the central urban area. The Longmen District, where Ye Feng's family is located, is also a relatively good jurisdiction, and if you open a store in Longmen, it will be much more convenient to travel.

It's just that the ideal location for Ye Feng to open a store is Dongmen Commercial Street, which is located in the center of Nanjiang District. It is one of the most prosperous places in Haicheng, with tens of thousands of merchants and more than 100,000 people per day. For a newly opened flower shop, the most important thing is the source of customers, customers with enough spending power. The consumption in the Dongmen neighborhood is generally relatively high-end, and there are a large number of tourists from all over the country and even abroad, which is extremely beneficial to the brand of the flower shop.

Ye Feng was not worried about the competitiveness of his flower shop at all. He is ready to go the boutique route and only sell high-end flowers. With the help of the "plant master", there is no need to worry about competitiveness at all. No matter how ordinary flowers are, they will turn decay into magic in his hands, become high-quality products, and even rare treasures, each of which is enough to crown the flower consumer market. What Ye Feng lacks is time, time for consumers to know his flower shop.

Although the rent of the shops in Dongmen Commercial Street is expensive, Ye Feng can still afford it. The key is that his goods basically do not cost anything, and all the money can be invested in the construction of the store. Although it is only 700,000, it is still enough to support the business needs of a year and a half.

The key to restricting the development of the store is actually Ye Feng's limited ability to make super flowers. Ye Feng's current plant energy level can only make one pot of top-grade orchid-level flowers every day, and if they are replaced by ordinary strengthened flowers, there are only two or three hundred plants at most.

For example, the most basic enhancement of a rose also costs at least 1 plant energy. Minimal fortification, although not significantly improving the appearance of flowers, can significantly extend the shelf life of flowers, so that flowers can maintain a bright bloom and long-lasting fragrance for a long time. In other words, on average, Ye Feng can make about 200 "high-quality" roses every day. The limited output determines that Ye Feng can only take the high-end boutique route.

Perhaps in the future, with the increase of the upper limit of plant energy of maple leaves, the yield will continue to increase. But Ye Feng's heart is hot now, and he can't wait to start his own business, and he doesn't want to think about it so much.

A person who has lived in an embarrassing life for too long and suddenly gained great strength may be as eager as Ye Feng to change the status quo.

In the next few days, Ye Feng checked the information on the Internet, contacted the owner and the decoration company, and finally found a store in a good location on Dongmen Pedestrian Street. With an area of sixty square meters and a monthly rent of four thousand, Ye Feng paid off a year's rent at one time. Later, it cost more than 30,000 yuan to hire someone to renovate the store. Coupled with the purchase of shelves, ornaments, flower pots and other miscellaneous items, it took a total of more than 200,000 yuan to get it done.

Ye Feng had to find another place to store the flowers and carry out private cultivation work. Casting abilities in a small flower shop is inconvenient and dangerous. So Ye Feng found another rental room as his temporary dormitory and flower warehouse. Considering that it takes up a lot of space to place flowers, Ye Feng's rental house is almost 150 square meters, and the monthly rent is almost 2,000 yuan. Ye Feng bought a tricycle as a means of transportation (electric vehicles and motorcycles are prohibited in Haicheng City) for transporting flowers between houses and flower spots.

The preparation of the flower shop took Ye Feng nearly half a month, and Ye Feng was very busy. Pay attention to the progress of decoration, purchase shelves, flower tools, electronic checkout counters and other objects, and use spare time to cultivate flowers. The plant energy in Ye Feng's body is not full for a moment, and he often uses the time to run errands to silently recover his energy, and consumes it immediately after returning to his residence. The first batch of flowers, Ye Feng did not cut corners and bought them through local flower wholesalers. The varieties sold are also some hot-selling flowers, roses, lilies, daisies, orchids, etc., which fill a room. In total, there are almost 100 species, 2,000 plants.

In fact, Ye Feng has a way to obtain flowers at zero cost, and that is to use the [Growth Acceleration] ability. When Ye Feng experimented with the efficacy of plant energy before, he had tested all kinds of strange ideas. He once learned in biology class that plants have an ability called cell totipotency, that is, a small number of plant cells can divide and grow into a new plant after culture, which is the so-called [plant tissue culture technology]. When Ye Feng was a child, he saw a plant called Ground Rooting, when the leaves fell to the ground, they would take root and sprout and grow many small seedlings, Ye Feng felt very amazing at the time. It was later learned that this is an example of the plant cell totipotent surname. Thinking of plant tissue culture technology, Ye Feng suddenly had a whim: "Using the growth acceleration of plant tissue fragments, will it also be able to grow into a new plant?" ”

At that time, Ye Feng pinched a piece of Mai Dong's leaf in the lawn, put it on the ground, and cast [Growth Acceleration] on the residual leaf. I saw a miraculous phenomenon appear, the residual leaves of Mai Dong swelled like a new life, turned into a green tissue, and then grew tender green bud tips and a large number of roots, which grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally grew into a new Mai Dong.

After experiments, Ye Feng found that as long as the plant tissues with living cells can grow into new plants under the catalysis of growth acceleration ability. Regardless of the part, petals, roots, leaves or bark can give birth to new plants. However, the volume of plant materials should not be too small, at least Ye Feng should be able to see and touch, and tissues with a high degree of senescence, such as fallen leaves, must be strengthened by a plant before they can withstand the force of growth acceleration.

In this way, the consumption of cultivating new plants in this way is not small, and an average of 10 plant energy is required for one herbaceous plant. For Ye Feng, such a cost is too high, it is better to evolve from the flower dealer, save the plant and strengthen a few more flowers.

However, Ye Feng felt that the use of growth acceleration was still very useful. Wouldn't it be nice to find a way to get some leaves and get some leaves?

For example, precious orchid varieties, black roses, precious Chinese herbs, precious trees and so on. When the time comes, go to the botanical garden and the fair, and get a little residual flowers and leaves, and you will have everything.

"Well, yes, yes." Ye Feng was also very satisfied with this ability in his heart.
