Chapter 38: The Butterfly Plague

Zhong Huan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Peng Lei wanted to open it. However, it will take at least a year and a half for the vegetables in Xiaohe Village to be planted on a trial basis, and it will take more time to expand the planting scale. During this period, Zhong Huan didn't plan to let Peng Lei be idle, he had new plans.

"Leizi, that's what I think. We're about to start school, and you can't keep setting up a stall, so take this opportunity to get out. Let's go to the driver's license test together, and let Hongda Hotel help us accumulate costs. When the money is enough, we will buy a car and open a store. We don't open a fruit shop, we open a flower shop. I've found out that this is the real profiteering industry. Zhong Huan pointed to the half-withered orchid in the pot and said.

"Big brother, is it true that you just said that this pot of withered grass can be sold for 18,000?" Peng Lei's attention just now was on the contract, and at this time, when he heard that Zhong Huan was going to open a flower shop, he remembered to ask about this pot of flowers.

"I guess so! We can go to the Internet café to check the market later, and look for a driving school by the way. ”

Peng Miao's rental house has no computer and no network cable, so Zhong Huan and Peng Lei can only go to an Internet café if they want to check information on the Internet.

"Even if we can make a lot of money selling flowers, we won't raise them. I've heard that those precious flowers are not only scarce, but also very difficult to serve, can we do it? Don't be like that Uncle Su, who raised all the flowers into grass. Peng Lei was a little worried.

"We can't do it, my master can do it! I'll take this flower back and let him see it first, as long as he can cure it, he can cultivate it. We'll send it then. ”

Zhong Huan felt that raising flowers in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu would not take up much of his time. Because the idea of raising flowers and selling fruits is different. Selling fruit must go to the volume, and one or two fruits can't be sold at a sky-high price. However, raising flowers is completely opposite, the amount is too much but not valuable, the more rare varieties there are, the higher the price is speculated. In this way, Zhong Huan didn't need to spend a lot of time picking flowers in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, as long as he occasionally transplanted one or two fine plants.

"Good! Then let's get a driver's license first. This is called sharpening the knife and not cutting wood, and it will definitely be used in the future. ”

When Peng Lei heard that the general direction of Zhong Huan's entrepreneurship had not changed, but he had found a better way, and he suddenly came to his spirit and enthusiasm again. When the two of them went to the Internet café to check, they realized how deep the water in the flower market was. Cheap flowers and plants can be bought for a few dollars a pot, and the expensive ones are really thousands. Especially orchids, it is not unusual to have a price tag of 100,000 or 1 million.

The two of them didn't have professional knowledge of flowers, and they couldn't see what was good about the million-dollar orchid. The only thing I know is that Su Zhengping and Zhou Ruixuan are not lying, and selling flowers is indeed more profitable than selling fruits.

Zhong Huan deliberately checked the pictures of the autumn moon in the Han Palace on the Internet. Not to mention, this orchid is really elegant and beautiful, with white and green petals, like jade wrapped in jade. It's just that the price is not as exaggerated as 18,000, and the basic quotation is a few thousand yuan. This means that in the space of a year, the number of orchids cultivated has increased exponentially, leading to a drop in prices. It seems that this flower market is similar to the stock market, and the risk is still very high. It's just that these risks are negligible for Zhong Huan.

Professional floral knowledge is not something that can be mastered in an hour or two of surfing. Zhong Huan and Peng Lei had a general understanding of the current situation of the flower market, and focused on finding a driving school. After some comparison, the two chose a driving school located in the north of the city. Although the driving school is a bit far from the two of their homes, it is relatively close to Tunghai University, so it will be more convenient for them to attend classes after the school starts.

The two came out of the Internet café and made an appointment to go to the driving school tomorrow to sign up. Zhong Huan pulled the pot of the Han Palace Qiuyue and walked home. Halfway through, I found a place where no one was there and put the flower pots into the storage hall.

When Zhong Huan arrived home, Zhang Shulan had just made dinner, so she asked him to wash his hands and eat. Although my mother's craftsmanship is good, it is not as good as that of Old Man Zhou. Zhong Huan was not too hungry after eating a big meal at Zhou's house at noon, and it was inevitable that he would eat less at night. Strangely, his father Zhong Jianguo and mother Zhang Shulan don't seem to have much appetite.

"Xiao Huan, how is your business with Peng Lei?" Zhang Shulan found that her husband and son ate less than the previous two days, and couldn't help but ask about Zhong Huan's business.

"Very good! By the way, we also received a big order today. You know Hongda Hotel, right? The owner of the hotel Zhou designated us to provide fruits and vegetables to the restaurant, and our things are not sold at all. ”

Zhong Huan will definitely spend it after making money. He wanted to make his parents mentally prepared first, so that they would not be suspicious when he took the money home in the future.

"That's the case, that's really good......" Zhang Shulan's expression was obviously a little speechless.

"Mom, is there something wrong with you?" Zhong Huan seemed to be a little worried when he saw his mother happy, and he didn't know what the situation was.

"Mom discussed with you about whether you can keep some vegetables for the family. We don't take advantage of Peng Lei, my mother pays for it. Zhang Shulan and Zhong Huan discussed.

"Where do you mean that? Isn't it just a la carte, you can have as much as you want? I've eaten all the food I got back before? Zhong Huan asked.

"Not really! It's still delicious that the food you brought back. Look at it, if you change the vegetables you bought on the street today, you two will eat less. I also didn't think the dishes from the previous two days were as tasty. Zhang Shulan pointed to a table of leftovers and said depressedly.

"Hi~ I said why didn't this dish taste right today. It turns out that it's not that your cooking skills have declined, but that the dishes have changed. I didn't even dare to say that it wasn't delicious when I was eating just now. Father Zhong Jianguo suddenly laughed on the side.

"If there is no food, you should have said it earlier. Your son and I are vegetable sellers, and I can't make my family eat it! It's a trifle. ”

Zhong Huan is now accustomed to eating the fruits and vegetables of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, and his mother's mention of it is correct and his heart, so that he can feast on it at home. The key is that Zhong Huan found that eating the fruits and vegetables produced by the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu was good for his body, and he himself was the most direct beneficiary, and the strength on his body was much greater than in the past. Of course, he hopes that his parents will also benefit, and that they will be healthy and healthy.

"Xiao Huan, the business is not yours alone. Since you are doing business in partnership with Peng Lei, you should consider his feelings. I believe that Peng Lei is not a stingy person, even if you take some food at home, he will not say anything. But this kind of thing is no problem once or twice, if you take it every day, the accumulation is not a small amount, and it will inevitably make Peng Lei have an opinion. Therefore, brothers should also settle accounts, don't hurt your harmony in order to save a little money, it's not worth it. I think you should still give as much as you want. Even if you open a company in the future, you should be public and private, and if you mess up, you won't be able to do it for a long time. "Zhong Jian's Chinese education is very important.

"Dad, I see. I'll pay for it, so I don't have to worry about you and my mother. In the future, I will take care of all the fruits and vegetables at home. ”

Zhong Huan said to his family that fruits and vegetables were all purchased from Xiaohe Village, so it was not surprising that his parents said so. After eating, Zhong Huan locked himself in the house and entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu.

There are still fruits and vegetables left in the storage hall before, Zhong Huan first sorted out two piles, and prepared to take them home tomorrow, and then send some to Old Man Zhou. Then he prepared more than 1,000 catties of fruit to be sent to Hongda Hotel tomorrow. Then I focused on the pot of orchids.

This pot of Hangong Qiuyue is a pot of two seedlings, a total of ten leaves, neither flowers nor buds, the leaves are still half yellow, and the tips of some leaves are already black, according to the jargon called Jiaowei. If this trend continues, this pot of orchids will indeed not live long.

Zhong Huan also learned some about orchid planting on the Internet just now, and he paid attention to watering, fertilization, and light. However, Zhong Huan couldn't stay in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu and stare at this pot of orchids, so he could only dig the orchids out of the pot according to the method of growing vegetables, plant them on the black soil on the top of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and then pour some water from the Ten Thousand Beasts Spring to be done. As for whether this orchid can come back to life, Zhong Huan himself has no bottom in his heart, but he has confidence in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, believing that the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu is a place to make miracles.

Just as Zhong Huan was squatting on the ground to plant flowers, a butterfly flew over and landed on his head. Zhong Huan shook his head to drive away the butterfly, and then another butterfly landed on his shoulder. At this time, Zhong Huan suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a lot of butterflies in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu!

When Zhong Huan planted the orchids and looked around, he found that there were butterflies flying everywhere on the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, which was very different from the occasional situation where he could see a few butterflies flying among the flowers a few days ago, and it seemed to be a bit of a flooding trend.

The scene in front of him made Zhong Huan cry out in his heart. The main function of this Ten Thousand Beasts Gu is to raise beasts and refine Gu, so it is not only a paradise for plants, but also a paradise for animals. Plants grow especially lush here in order to provide the best living environment for animals. These pollinator butterflies stocked by Zhong Huan have the best living environment, and they do not have any natural enemies, so they will naturally multiply indefinitely and multiply geometrically. At present, the number of plants can still meet the needs of butterflies, but if the number of butterflies continues to increase, the plants in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu will be dangerous, after all, butterfly larvae live on plant leaves.

The beautiful butterflies flying all over the sky startled Zhong Huan into a cold sweat. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had discovered the problem in time. If you wait for the butterfly disaster to find out, then your previous efforts will be in vain.

If you find a problem, you need to solve it. If you want to reduce the number of butterflies, it is unrealistic to rely on Zhong Huan to hunt and kill them by himself, and spraying can control them for a while, but it will also pollute the environment. The best way Zhong Huan could think of was to use the natural enemies of butterflies to limit the number of butterflies, so that the food chain in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu could circulate and achieve a natural ecological balance.

Leaving the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu in a hurry, Zhong Huan sat in front of the computer and checked the information. There are many natural predators of butterflies, ants, birds, lizards, frogs, praying mantises, dragonflies, spiders, wasps, ...... All prey on butterflies. However, in order to prevent the tragedy of rejecting the tiger at the front door and entering the wolf at the back door, Zhong Huan finally decided to introduce two beneficial insects, praying mantis and dragonfly, into the Ten Thousand Beast Gu. Another important reason why he chose these two insects is that they are relatively easy to catch, and they can be caught for free in the lakeside meadows on the outskirts.
