Chapter Ninety-Five: Rent a shop and plant flowers

The club is followed by a weekend. For Zhong Huan, it was another busy weekend. The flower market in the eastern part of the city is bustling with people, and the shops on both sides of the road are filled with various flowers. As soon as Zhong Huan and Peng Lei entered the market, their noses were filled with the fragrance of flowers, and their eyes were full of colorful flowers. Red azaleas, yellow autumn chrysanthemums, white lilies, pink lotuses, Zhong Huan suddenly found that the place with the most plant species in the city may not be a park, but a flower market.

"A little further on. Although there are still a few shops in the market that specialize in orchids, they are not adjacent to the one we fancied, so we feel that the location of the shop is not bad. ”

Peng Miao and Yang Min have traveled around the flower market in the east of the city these days, and at this time, of course, Zhong Huan and Peng Lei are acting as guides. Searching for the shops that were being transferred didn't take much time, and Peng Miao and Yang Min focused their energy on investigating the market. The rent of the store, the price of flowers, the channels of purchase, and the method of raising flowers, these are all things they need to master. The best way to acquire this knowledge is not to buy a book and dive headfirst into it, but to learn from other merchants in the market.

It is said that peers are enemies, and Peng Miao naturally can't use the identity of peers to learn from experience, but only the identity of customers. Many shop owners are willing to chat with customers for the sake of business opening, and in the face of those customers who are willing to pay for flowers, the bosses are even more enthusiastic. In order to learn real things, Peng Miao and Yang Min bought a lot of flowers in the past few days, and they did learn a lot of things, and they spent all the money to pay for tuition. Several orchid specialty stores in the market were even turned around by them.

The group of four quickly walked to the door of the store to be transferred. The location of the shop is in the middle of the market, and the main entrance and back door where the flow of people is most concentrated are not adjacent.

Since the store is built in the market, the size and specifications are the same, and the only thing that can reflect the characteristics of the store is to look at the decoration of the store. However, most merchants will not spend a lot of money on decoration, after all, the rented shop is not their own, and it is not cost-effective to spend too much money on someone else's shop. Only those shops that are really making money will consider simply decorating to attract popularity.

The store in front of me is also not very decorated, but a few rows of flower stands are placed in the store for flower pots. Although the store is still open at this time, there are not many flowers on the flower stand, and the most eye-catching position in the center of the flower stand is not a flower pot, but a notice of the transfer of the store and a slogan of a price sale.

The owner of the shop was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a slightly fat figure and a dark green gardening apron tied to his body, who was sitting in the store and dozing off.

"This boss's surname is Zhang, and he has been working here for three years, and his business is still passable. I heard that someone in my family was seriously ill this year, and I spent a lot of money and didn't get cured, so I had to use all the money, and the store naturally couldn't open. ”

Peng Miao whispered to Zhong Huan about the reason for the owner's transfer, that is, to tell Zhong Huan that the store was fine, but it was only because of the problem with the person who ran the store that it was transferred.

"How much?" Zhong Huan asked.

He signed a one-year contract with the market, and now there are more than three months left before the expiration, and the rent is 10,000 yuan per month. I went to the market management office to inquire, and it was indeed the price. If we take over, we will sign a contract with the market next year at this price. Peng Miao introduced.

"I think so. Peng Lei, what do you think? ”

The rent of 10,000 yuan a month is definitely not cheap, but since the public price of the shop in this location in the market is like this, it means that the store is worth this price. Boss Zhang didn't offer more, and Zhong Huan felt that the price was acceptable.

"I think if he's in a hurry, we can push the price down again."

Peng Lei said this not because he was ruthless, but he was just talking about business, and of course he had to cut the price if he had the opportunity. Besides, who can guarantee that the reason why Boss Zhang transferred the store was really because his family was sick? Maybe it's just a sympathetic gimmick. Compassion is not in charge of the army, and righteousness is not in business.

"We talked to him once before. The rent can't be lowered, but the remaining flowers and shelves in the store can be packaged and sold to us. Yang Min said on the side.

"We definitely have to redecorate his store, the shelves are not used, and the flowers are not orchids. If he's willing to give it to us, we'll rent it. Zhong Huan finally clapped his head.

With Zhong Huan's words, Peng Miao and Yang Min had a bottom in their hearts. They had asked Boss Zhang for a price before, and the sleepy-eyed Boss Zhang also recognized them after being woken up. Maybe there was something really going on at Boss Zhang's house, or maybe the only shelves and flowers left in the store were not valuable, and the two sides reached a deal without much bargaining.

After that, the procedures were also very simple, after the two parties signed a transfer agreement, they went to the market management office to go through the transfer procedures, and after Zhong Huan asked Peng Lei to pay the money, the store was theirs. The boss Zhang is also a happy person, he simply packed up his things and took the money and left, it seems that there is a real emergency at home.

As soon as Boss Zhang left, there were only four Zhong Huan and the others left in the store. Although the empty shelves and a few pots of scattered flowers make the store feel a little empty and bleak. But there was an inexplicable excitement in the hearts of all four of them. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and this empty flower shop is the starting point of the four-person business. Owning your own store, whether it's big or small, is a joy to have.

"Big brother, what are you going to do with the flowers and shelves in this store?" Peng Lei looked at a room full of shelves and a pitiful few pots of flowers, and couldn't understand what Zhong Huan wanted these things for.

"The shelves can ask other merchants if they need it, and they can handle it at a low price. I'll send all the flowers to my master. Sister Peng Miao, all the flowers you bought when you were exploring the market before were all recorded in the company's account. I also need more kinds of flowers, especially orchids. Each variety does not seek more, nor does it seek quality, one or two plants are fine, the cheaper the better. Now we're going to split up and buy it. Zhong Huan said.

"Zhong Huan, what do you want so many flowers?" Peng Miao was a little puzzled by Zhong Huan's behavior.

"Of course, it's for my master to study. He usually grows more vegetables and fruits, but less flowers, and when he heard that we were going to sell flowers, he wanted to study more. ”

Zhong Huan's collection of all kinds of flowers is naturally to cultivate them into precious flowers in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, but this reason is not enough for outsiders, and it is still reliable to move the virtual master out.

Sure enough, Peng Lei and the others didn't dare to slack off when they heard that it was Master Zhong Huan who wanted to use it. The four of them closed the shop for the time being, and soon collected a lot of flowers and moved them back to the empty flower shop, almost filling the shelves of the flower shop.

Zhong Huan felt that it was almost over, so he asked everyone to stop, leaving Peng Lei and the three of them to clean up the store, while Zhong Huan himself returned to the school and rode the electric tricycle, and then used the tricycle as a cover to transport the flowers in the store in batches and store them in the storage hall.

When Zhong Huan emptied all the flower pots in the store, it would be easy to clean up the shelves, and then it would be time to redecorate and hang them. Naturally, these tasks don't need Zhong Huan and Peng Lei to bother, they are all handled by Peng Miao and Yang Min, and it is expected that it will take another week to officially open, Zhong Huan just used this time to raise flowers in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu.

The environment in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu is getting better and better with Zhong Huan's efforts to improve. What was once a dark world is now covered with patches of verdant green. If Zhong Huan didn't draw boundaries for plants and let them grow, I'm afraid that there would be no place to plant flowers on the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain at this time. And now Zhong Huan is rejoicing in his foresight, there is still a vast black soil on the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and the Ten Thousand Beasts Plain where all kinds of flowers can be grown.

What made Zhong Huan more depressed was that in order to make it convenient, he had concentrated vegetables and fruits near the main hall on the top of the mountain to plant them for picking. Now the flower beds can only be cultivated halfway up the mountain. It's impossible to make a garden near the Gu King's Hall to admire. Unless it is to remove the vegetable garden planted on the top of the mountain, it is a big project, and Zhong Huan naturally has no time and energy to do it.

The amount of work involved in cultivating a flower bed is not small, because each flower has to be cultivated separately. There are hundreds of kinds of flowers that Zhong Huan collected from the flower market, that is, hundreds of flower beds need to be cultivated. It's easier to grow flowers than to cultivate a flower garden, just plant one or two flowers of the same species in each flower bed.

In addition to cultivating the flower garden, Zhong Huan also had to pick fruits in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu to practice the three-body pose, so this time he spent a little time in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. After eating a day of fruit and vegetable vegetarian food, Zhong Huan, who was not happy without meat, wanted to eat meat. In the past, he endured the fact that there were no conditions to eat meat in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, but now there should be a lot of chickens, ducks and fish in the beast breeding cave, and he can't help but be greedy. And he wanted to know how these birds and beasts grew in the beast breeding cave, and whether the taste would be better than the outside world.

After doing some psychological construction, Zhong Huan entered the beast cave where the animals were stocked before. Just as Zhong Huan imagined, the animals kept in the beast cave were all one size bigger than the butterflies and dragonflies in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. Bees the size of wasps fluttering in the air, duck-sized chickens fluttering their wings on the ground, and goose-like ducks and ostriche-like geese. Further afield, the head of the sheep is like a horse, the head of a horse is like a cow, and the size of a cow is comparable to an elephant......

Seeing this scene, Zhong Huan breathed a sigh of relief, everything was finally within his expectations. It seems that although the Ten Thousand Beast Gu is magical, it is still far from raising a demon. What he was most afraid of was that as soon as he entered the beast breeding cave, he would see a vegetable snake dozens of meters long and like a giant python, and then swallow himself in one bite, which would be a tragedy.

Although several vegetable snakes do not grow to a length of tens of meters, they are really not small. The vegetable snake, which was supposed to grow to one or two meters to its head, could grow to four or five meters long in the beast breeding cave, even if Zhong Huan knew that these snakes were not poisonous, it was still quite scary to look at.
