Chapter 44: The Orchid Blooms

The Zhou family is indeed not bad for money, but some things are really not something that can be bought with money. Zhong Huan sells fruits, but people don't sell vegetables. Zhou Ruixuan knew that these dishes were all grown by Zhong Huan's master and eaten by himself. How can a master who can grow such a good dish sell the vegetables he eats to others for a few dollars? If he had been such a money-grubbing man, he wouldn't have been a hermit.

"Juan'er, Xiao Zhong is a favor to send us food. It's not because he sells vegetables. It's like someone coming to our house and bringing a basket of fruit. If you think it's delicious, you can go to the market and buy it again, how can there be any reason to find customers to buy it? Old Man Zhou knew that Tian Juan was filial, but he also felt that his daughter-in-law still didn't pay enough attention to Zhong Huan, so he emphasized that Zhong Huan was a guest of the Zhou family.

"Dad, if this dish is sold somewhere else, we will naturally buy it. But this dish is only available to Master Zhong Huan, can't we ask him to bring some? Friends should help each other. Tian Juan didn't mean to underestimate Zhong Huan, she really didn't have anywhere to buy this dish.

"Xiao Zhong can help once, twice, and can he still supply our family with a lifetime of food? Forget it, there is wine today and drunk today, isn't it that the dish has not been eaten yet. Let's talk about it when I'm done. Old Man Zhou thought that Zhong Huan would eat this dish and it would be gone, and he was a little reluctant to eat it.

"Dad, I don't think you have to worry. When this dish is finished, I will invite Xiao Zhong to come to our house for dinner. If he was too embarrassed to come empty-handed, he would have brought some vegetables as a gift. When the time comes, you make him a good meal and whet his appetite. The next time he comes, he will definitely bring the food, and you won't be able to get rid of it. After Zhou Hongda finished eating this meal, he began to worry about the next meal.

"Haha, HTC is a good idea! Xiao Zhong's master can grow vegetables, but he doesn't necessarily know how to cook. I still have confidence in the craft, and I will definitely make him addicted. Zhou Ruixuan thinks his son's idea is really good.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, you're stupid enough. If you want to eat enough of this dish, I have an idea! Zhou Xin's small eyes turned to his heart.

"Xinxin, how do you speak? Nothing big or small. Tian Juan glared at her son.

"Juan'er, it's okay, you listen to him. If you really have a good idea, it's okay to call me stupid. If he has a bad idea, I'll let his dad beat him. Zhou Ruixuan has an easy-going temper and loves his grandson, so he doesn't mind joking with Zhou Xin.

"Grandpa, there is a good saying, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Zhong Huan's master can grow vegetables and can't cook, but grandpa, you can cook and grow vegetables. Since you can ask Zhong Huan to send you vegetables as gifts, why don't you ask him to send some seeds? You don't want to eat as many dishes as you want! Zhou Xin shook his head and said.

"That's right! Or my good grandson is smart. Zhou Ruixuan thought deeply when he heard this, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Dad, can Xiao Zhong's master agree to this?" Zhou Hongda thinks that vegetable seeds can already be regarded as trade secrets.

"If you agree or not, you always have to ask. But in my opinion, it's not a big problem. Let's just say that the peaches and plums sold by Xiao Zhong, if someone buys them and takes them back to plant, his master doesn't have a rut. Since his master is willing to let Xiao Zhong sell, he must not be afraid of human race. There are two possibilities in this, one is that the master is confident that others will not be able to plant seeds if they have them, and the other is that the master does not care whether others plant them or not. In either case, the seeds are not important to this master, and it should be no problem for us to ask Xiao Zhong for some. Zhou Ruixuan analyzed the mentality of the master, but he didn't know that there was no such a master in the world.

"Then I'll call Xiao Zhong and ask him." Zhou Hongda couldn't wait to say.

"What are you anxious about? I just took other people's vegetables at noon, and at night I took care of other people's seeds, and you didn't have a big face. Zhou Ruixuan glared at his son and said: "When these dishes at home are finished, you can contact Xiao Zhong, if you can't get the seeds, it's good to order another dish." You said I'm going to invite him to dinner. ”

Zhou Xin and Tian Juan's mother and son couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard Old Man Zhou finish speaking, this is really fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, and grandpa's patience in the face of food may not be much higher than that of his father.

Zhong Huan couldn't imagine that the Zhou family's father and son were worried about the next meal before they finished eating. When he got home, after dinner, he entered the Ten Thousand Beast Gu. Today, he has a lot of tasks, not only to pick fruits, but also to place the dragonflies and praying mantis caught by Peng Lei.

Looking at the palm-sized butterflies all over the mountains, and then looking down at the normal-sized dragonflies and praying mantis in the sarong, Zhong Huan was really a little unconfident. He also didn't know if the naturally growing dragonflies and praying mantis were the opponents of the mutated butterflies in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu.

It is said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and Zhong Huan thought about it for a long time without results, so he didn't want to. He slammed the screen door under the sarong, and then turned the sarong upside down, and the dragonflies in the sarong began to fly out, and the praying mantis began to crawl out.

I don't know if it's because the environment of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu is too good. As soon as the dragonfly that regained its freedom left the sarong, they all became energetic, and in an instant they flew all over the sky, expanding around with Zhong Huan as the center. If the Dragonfly is like an aerial fighter that is constantly expanding its territory, then the Praying Mantis is a tank unit responsible for ground expansion, although the speed of expansion is not as fast as that of Dragonfly, but it is very stable.

Zhong Huan, who was located in the center of the two insect troops in the air and on the ground, felt as if he had become a general, always paying close attention to the results of his troops. Most of the dragonflies and praying mantis didn't meet the giant butterfly in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, and they scattered at a rapid speed, as if they were trying to capture the enemy's headquarters as quickly as possible. However, there was also a small part of the troops, which encountered the enemy's resistance, and the two sides immediately launched an offensive and defensive battle.

Zhong Huan watched a finger-length dragonfly vibrate its wings and pounce on a palm-sized butterfly without hesitation, like a petite ninja who sacrificed his life to assassinate fat sumo. The giant butterfly that was born and raised in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu obviously had never seen a dragonfly, and it didn't know that it was its natural enemy, so it was a little slow to react, and it didn't have time to dodge and escape, so it was caught on the back by the dragonfly.

The big butterfly that had been caught clearly sensed the danger and began to stir its wings and struggle. However, the slender dragonfly firmly grasped the back and wings of the big butterfly, and its sharp chewing mouthparts also bit on the back of the big butterfly. Although the giant butterfly rolled and struggled in the air for a while, it did not escape the fate of being bitten to death, and the corpse fell from the sky like a huge fallen leaf.

The dragonfly did not let go of its mouth until the big butterfly landed, and it did not fly again with its wings vibrated until it was lying on the corpse of the giant butterfly and had eaten and drunk enough. From the beginning to the end of an air battle, it was completely displayed in Zhong Huan's eyes.

Seeing that the dragonfly finally won, Zhong Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that although the butterfly in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu has changed drastically, it still maintains its original biological characteristics, and has not transformed into a Gu beast, and it is not an opponent of the natural enemy. According to this trend, in a few days, dragonflies and praying mantis will be able to reproduce in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu for several generations like butterflies, and their size will gradually increase, and then the giant butterflies will not be opponents, and the number will definitely be suppressed.

Zhong Huan had also made two preparations before, if dragonflies and praying mantis could not make contributions, he could only use birds to suppress butterflies. However, beneficial birds are not as easy to catch as beneficial insects, and they may have to go to the flower and bird market to buy them, which is an additional expense. For Zhong Huan, who is used to living a hard life and is careful every day, it is better to be free or not to spend money.

Zhong Huan, who had let go of a matter on his mind, suddenly remembered another thing. Old Man Su's pot of orchids seemed to have been forgotten by him. Although for Zhong Huan, the orchid has just been transplanted into the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu for one day, but for the orchid, it has been planted in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu for a year, and whether it is dead or alive should have results.

Thinking of the pot of valuable orchids, Zhong Huan hurriedly ran to the place where he planted the orchids to check. This is related to his future career of selling flowers, and it cannot be taken lightly.

"It's over! How can I explain this to Old Man Su. ”

Zhong Huan looked at the cluster of orchids in front of him and was dumbfounded. As he expected, the orchid came back to life, not only did it live well, but it also became one size bigger. Not only has it grown, but it has also blossomed. Not only did it bloom, but it also split into plants and grew new seedlings.

The first two seedlings of orchids have now become eight seedlings, each with seven or eight leaves and at least one flower bud. The heart of the open orchid is white and green, and the three sepals are carved like jade. The leaves of orchids are equally stout, each leaf is three or four centimeters wide, and it is bright green. The flowers and leaves are perfectly combined like a beautiful work of art.

Zhong Huan looked at this orchid called the autumn moon of the Han Palace at this time, and he really felt pleasing to the eye, as if the orchid with withered grass before was not a plant. Now this high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade orchid is not to mention 18,000, even if it is 18,000, I'm afraid some people will buy it. The point is that this is too far from the original pot of orchids with withered yellow leaves. Zhong Huan looked at the eight seedlings of orchids, and couldn't tell which two were mother seedlings, how could he get them back for Old Man Su?

One day's time for the orchid to come back to life and bloom separately is no longer explained by good flower-raising technology, it is a complete miracle. If he returned it to Old Man Su like this, he would definitely think that the flowers had been transferred by himself.

Zhong Huan thought about it carefully, and he would take this flower back in a few days, so as not to be unable to explain it. And even if you take it back, you can't take it all, you can have two seedlings, and you can keep the rest for sale money.

In order to avoid the occurrence of excessive orchid growth, Zhong Huan dug a trench around the orchid to prevent the orchid from dividing indefinitely. Zhong Huan estimated that after the land he had zoned was overgrown with orchids, there would be at least a dozen seedlings, which was enough to sell.

Zhong Huan finished processing the butterflies and orchids, and picked enough fruits that needed to be delivered tomorrow, before leaving the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. As soon as he came out, he remembered that there was one more thing he hadn't done. During the day, after Deng Guilong made the money, he asked him to check whether the transferred money had arrived in the card. Although Zhong Huan had already received the notification of the arrival of the SMS prompt, he still felt more comfortable to check it again on the online bank, after all, this was the first time to transfer money, and there was no big mistake in being careful.
