Su Zhengping, who was full of witty words, enlivened the atmosphere at the table. Zhou Ruixuan and Zhou Hongda also put aside their business matters for the time being, and chatted with Su Zhengping and Zhong Huan.

After a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and Zhong Huan and the people present got acquainted with each other a lot. The four of them left the table and sat on the sofa, and Aunt Wang served tea to the four of them again, and then went to clean up the table.

"Old glutton, why didn't you make a phone call today. Is there something urgent? ”

Zhou Ruixuan felt that there might be something wrong with Su Zhengping's sudden visit, and seeing that his old friend had not mentioned it, he rushed to mention it first.

"I do have something to do, but I'm not in a hurry. It's just that there are potted flowers that I want you to help see, and there is no salvation. ”

Su Zhengping's hobby is also raising flowers. However, unlike Zhou Ruixuan, he does not live in a villa, and the flowers are not planted in the yard, they are all potted plants.

"Old glutton, you're not kidding me, are you? Others don't know, you don't know yet. I am an expert in growing vegetables, and I am a pseudo-expert in raising flowers. If you ask me to see the flowers, it is equivalent to asking the blind question. ”

Zhou Ruixuan's real hobby is not to raise flowers, but to grow vegetables. He thinks it tastes great when cooking with the dishes he grows himself. But the people he usually contacts are not of low grade, and their hobbies are also very elegant, if you tell others that your hobby is growing vegetables, it is really embarrassing, so Zhou Ruixuan said that he loves to raise flowers, after all, cauliflower is also a kind of flower.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Some people who were not familiar with Zhou Ruixuan came to see him, and when they heard that he loved to raise flowers, they gave some precious flowers as gifts. Zhou Ruixuan didn't waste it, he planted it all as vegetables in the courtyard, and he also served according to the recipe for growing vegetables on weekdays. Unexpectedly, the flowers in the yard were planted more and more, and the more they bloomed, the more and more colorful they became, but the rumors that he loved to raise flowers were confirmed.

"You didn't look for anyone to see it? I have seen a few flower friends, and there are two experts among them, but I can't say anything wrong. In the end, I came to the conclusion that my family's feng shui is not good, and it does not match this pot of flowers. I'm bah~ I'm still an expert professor at this level, and the bricks of the bricks are about the same, I don't think it's as good as your soil method. ”

Su Zhengping was angry when he talked about the two experts. I usually blow my level in the sky and the ground, but I can't use it at critical moments.

"Haha~ I don't think what people say is unreasonable." Zhou Ruixuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Su Zhengping finish speaking.

"Your family is not good at feng shui! I'm in a hurry here, why are you still gloating! Su Zhengping was a little angry when he heard his old friend say the same.

"Don't worry! You have been raising flowers for so many years, you should know the truth that some flowers like yin and some flowers like yang. Sometimes the flowers do not grow well, not because of watering, fertilization, pests and diseases, or environmental problems. I see that your two expert friends also use the elimination method, and if they can't find any other reason, they attribute the problem to the feng shui environment, which is not wrong. ”

Raising flowers and growing vegetables are actually much the same, so Zhou Ruixuan is not ignorant, and he can also tell some truth.

"So, I'm looking for you. I see that the environment in your hospital is good, why don't you keep it here for two days and see if there is any help. What about tens of thousands of dollars, don't mess with it. ”

When Su Zhengping heard that it was a problem with his own family environment, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, he couldn't move because of a pot of flowers. Instead of watching the flowers die at home, it is better to put them here with old friends.

"Grandpa Su, how much did you say that pot of flowers cost?"

Zhong Huan didn't study flowers, and he couldn't interject when he listened to the two old men chatting. But when he heard that the cost was worth tens of thousands of yuan, he was stunned at the time, and thought that he had heard it wrong.

"When I bought my Han Palace Qiuyue last year, it was 18,000. At that time, the flowers were blooming well, but this year they are not blooming. In fact, orchids can enjoy the leaves even if they are not blooming, but for some reason, the leaves have begun to turn yellow recently, so I thought of finding someone to help me take a look. ”

The autumn moon of the Han Palace mentioned by Su Zhengping is a variety of orchids, or more precisely, a kind of spring orchid. The flowers are porcelain white, the outer petals have a green halo, the two colors are naturally transitioned, there is a feeling of jadeite, and it is pleasing to the eye, elegant but not vulgar.

"Why is this flower so expensive?" Zhong Huan didn't know what Su Zhengping said about the autumn moon in the Han Palace, he only knew one thing - this flower was expensive enough!

"Haha~ This time, Xiao Zhong doesn't know how to do it. 18,000 orchids are not expensive, and the really expensive ones can be sold for millions. It can be said that things are still expensive, and rare flowers are the same as giant pandas, do you say they are not expensive? Not only orchids, but also flowers in my yard, there are more than a dozen kinds of tens of thousands. Zhou Ruixuan smiled and cleared Zhong Huan's illiteracy.

Zhong Huan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, it seems that this flower raising is more profitable than growing vegetables. Since vegetables can be grown in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, it is not a problem to raise flowers, and the Ten Thousand Beast Gu can provide the best growth environment for plants. Of course, Zhong Huan, who was moved, would not miss the opportunity, and began to pester the two old men to ask about raising flowers. However, what he cares about is not what flowers look the best, but what flowers make the most money.

Su Zhengping is a flower lover, and Zhou Ruixuan is also half an expert in raising flowers, and the two old people usually don't have much chance to brag about their experience in raising flowers. When Zhong Huan asked this question today, he scratched the itch of the two of them, and began to talk to Zhong Huan endlessly.

After some popularization, Zhong Huan has somewhat figured out some ways to raise flowers. If you want to say that the most expensive ones sold in the flower market are bonsai and orchids.

Bonsai is expensive because of its artistic value. A good bonsai can condense the landscape and trees in a flower pot to achieve the artistic effect of shrinking the dragon into an inch and seeing the big in the small. A flower pot is a landscape. Therefore, people praise bonsai as "three-dimensional painting" and "silent poetry".

The reason why orchids are expensive is because orchid seeds are not easy to germinate and need to be propagated by tillering, which makes orchids reproduce slowly and are relatively scarce. Moreover, the orchid flower type is peculiar, very ornamental, and some varieties of flower type are unique, so they will naturally be sought after.

Chinese people have always regarded the orchid as a symbol of nobility and elegance, and it is juxtaposed with plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and is collectively known as the four gentlemen in the flower. The beauty of poetry is used as a metaphor for "Lanzhang", the truth of friendship is used as a metaphor for "Lanjiao", and the virtue of women is metaphorized as "Lanxin". From ancient times to the present, literati and writers all love to raise orchids, and there are poems: two or three plantings of hand-pei orchids, and the warm wind of the day and the second opening. I don't know the fragrance in the room for a long time, and there are butterflies flying when I push the window. The broad mass base and profound cultural heritage are also one of the reasons for the high price of orchids.

Zhong Huan felt that it was not a good idea to raise bonsai in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. Because the characteristics of the plants grown in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu are tall and strong, but the bonsai requires condensation, which is obviously the opposite. Besides, bonsai modeling is not just planted, but also pruned and artistically processed, these abilities are not possessed by Zhong Huan. However, orchids are very suitable for planting in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, and a good orchid requires wide leaves and strong seedlings, and the species are novel. If an oversized orchid can be grown in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, it will definitely be sold as a new variety at a high price, and it will not arouse suspicion. After all, new orchids are cultivated every year.

"After talking for a long time, where are your orchids? I'll help you take a look, and let Xiao Zhong open his eyes. Zhou Ruixuan's mouth was dry, and he took a sip of tea from the teacup and said.

"In my car. I'm going to move it for you. After Su Zhengping finished speaking, he stood up.

"Grandpa Su, I'll help you move." Zhong Huan also stood up, he really wanted to see what the orchid of tens of thousands of yuan looked like.

"Okay, let's go together." After Su Zhengping finished speaking, he took Zhong Huan to the garage.

When Zhong Huan saw the orchid in the trunk of the car, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, where can he see that it is a flower? How do you look like grass, but it's still grass with yellow leaves in autumn.

"Grandpa Su, eighteen thousand orchids grow like this? You're not being cheated on, are you? Zhong Huan picked up the flower pot and looked at it carefully and said.

"Alas~ I'm not saying that this flower hasn't been raised. When I first bought it, it was very beautiful, the flower was the same as the jadeite carving, and the petal shape was good. Now that it's like this, I feel distressed when I look at it. ”

Su Zhengping sighed and returned to the house with Zhong Huan. Zhong Huan put the flower pot on the coffee table, and Zhou Ruixuan and Zhou Hongda came over and began to observe.

"Ahem~ Your orchid should be yin-loving, I'm afraid it's not suitable to put it in my yard. And this pot of flowers is obviously dying, I'm afraid I can't afford to toss. The so-called people move to life, and trees move to death. I'm afraid this one will die sooner. Zhou Ruixuan saw that more than half of the leaves of the orchid began to turn yellow, and he was helpless, but he was worried about killing the flowers.

"Looks like this flower is delaying me. If I had known this, I would have come to you in the morning. Now you can be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. The life that can be saved is the best, and if I can't save it, I will accept my fate. ”

A pot of flowers with a small 20,000 yuan may not be expensive to put here in Zhou Ruixuan, but it is still quite expensive for Su Zhengping, who is engaged in education, and it is the most expensive pot of flowers in his family, so he is so concerned. Although he had expected that his pot of flowers would be more auspicious and less auspicious, when he heard that Zhou Ruixuan had also sentenced the flowers to death, he still couldn't help but feel distressed, and now all he could do was do his best and obey the destiny of heaven.

"Otherwise, you should give me this flower if you leave it here. I'll send you a pot of flowers to take home. You see if there is anything you like in the garden. ”

Zhou Ruixuan couldn't bear it when he saw his old friend sighing. He didn't love flowers as much as Su Zhengping, so he thought of a way to comfort Su Zhengping, so as not to make him sad.

"Forget it! The flowers you grow here are gorgeous, but they are too vulgar and not my style. Just do your best, I'll go back. ”

Su Zhengping understood that Zhou Ruixuan was probably powerless, so he proposed to change the flowers, so as to break his thoughts. But he still likes plain orchids, and he can't look down on the peonies and azaleas in the garden.

"Grandpa Su, why don't you let me try."

Zhong Huan also saw that Old Man Zhou had no problem with this flower, and basically gave up the treatment, so he gave it a try. Anyway, it's a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe it will be saved if it is put into the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu.

"Xiao Zhong, can you save this flower?"

Su Zhengping just popularized the knowledge of flowers to Zhong Huan for a long time, knowing that he was a layman, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him speak.
