Chapter 3 The Twelve Hairpins
Sitting alone in the silent courtyard and thinking about his thoughts for a while, Jiang Yelin got up and came to the twelve rare Junzi orchids, looked at them for a long time, and muttered,
"Is this really worth more than 2 million? The female police inspector found the Forbidden City cultural relics expert last time was unreliable, and Leng regarded the high-imitation Jun kiln moon red glazed flower pot as a national treasure, so the horticultural experts invited by the police wouldn't also look away, right? When the time comes, it will be silly for Ge Bai to be happy......"
Wandering around in the yard for a while, he felt that this matter was a little relieved, I don't know when the value of more than 2 million, twelve pots of flowers and plants are just flowers and plants, knowing that it may be worth a lot, this heart is a little bit unbearable, although the security of this part of the capital has been good, the small foot detective team in the neighborhood of the family courtyard is a well-known family protector, but whenever there are strange faces flowing over, I will call the old ladies with red hoops to interrogate left and right......
But after all, I didn't feel at ease, and I began to complain about the cousin who left him to go abroad, and I didn't hear from him anymore, and let myself serve these twelve pots of flowers for nearly ten years, not to say when I would come back, just draw a cake and let myself look at it, and I can be regarded as a ghost who has been serving these flowers and plants slowly, and I am really a little reluctant, otherwise I can raise it for ten years? Isn't it easy to feed yourself in the past ten years, but you still have to feed these plants!
"Can this cousin pinch it? Ten years ago, these flowers were at most a few hundred pots, and my cousin would never have calculated that these flowers would be worth more than 2 million now, so why did he solemnly ask me to serve these flowers and wait for him to come back? Jiang Yelin muttered to himself, and looked around the twelve pots of flowers for a long time, without a clue.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yelin had not yet gone out, the police officer Xiao Tang came, followed by a silver-haired elder, looking a little similar to Xiao Tang, it turned out that the girl went back at night to tell her grandfather, as the president of Beijing Forestry University, Lao Tang couldn't sit still, the old man is the first generation of horticulture masters in China, and the former dean of the College of Horticulture of Forestry University.
"Xiao Ye, right, you call me Old Tang, this granddaughter praised you and your flowers last night, which made my old man itch, today I took the liberty to come to the door to admire your twelve golden hairpins, won't you be unwelcome?" Old man Tang has passed the age of retirement, but the organization has repeatedly retained him, and it is estimated that he will not be able to retire if he is less than 65.
Beijing Forestry University was founded in 1952, is one of the eight colleges in Beijing at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, with a long history, a large number of forestry, garden and horticultural talents cultivated for China, the old Tang himself is a master of cultivation and breeding of precious flowers, there is nothing else at home, there is more in the small courtyard is a huge area of glass greenhouses and precious flowers, the so-called hunting heart, I heard the granddaughter say that there are twelve rare gentleman orchids in the Yuetan Xiaoye family, and the next morning urged the little girl to lead the way to find Fang appreciation.
Of course, Jiang Yelin is very welcome, yesterday Xiao Tang's girl was good to her twelve gentlemen, but Xiao Tang is only in his early twenties after all, and no matter how high the gardening and flower literacy is, this product is wondering if where to invite an expert to taste and estimate the price, but I didn't expect Xiao Tang's grandfather to come uninvited the next day, this is a fateful thing! It couldn't be better!
The old gentleman entered the yard, nothing else in his eyes, and went straight to the small glass house, because it was the middle of summer, and it stands to reason that the flowering period of the Junzi Orchid was originally around the Spring Festival in February and March, so the old gentleman heard his granddaughter say yesterday that the Junzi Orchid of Jiang Yelin's family also bloomed in the summer, how can I not be surprised, Xiao Tang's gardening is with the old gentleman since childhood, and it is impossible to see other varieties of flowers as Junzi Orchid.
"Xiaoye, you've been cultivating these twelve pots of flowers for almost ten years, right? Did it bloom in the summer before? To say, the gentleman's orchid blooms mostly in spring! As soon as the old gentleman's words were asked, Jiang Yelin chuckled in his heart and asked nervously,
"Isn't that right? I remember the earliest time, about the beginning of cultivation to the third year, these twelve pots of flowers began to bloom in turn, almost 1 month will have a pot of flowers, and then I don't know how, slowly became two pots of flowers in two months, and after a few years, it became like this, every quarter there are 12 pots blooming together, I thought I fertilized more flowers and flowers bloomed diligently, this year bloomed four times, not a goblin, right? ”
"Grandpa, grandpa, you give Brother Ye a good pulse of these flowers, didn't you say before that you want to have an extremely precious Junzi orchid, cultivated very properly, nutrients, moisture, sunlight and air must be extremely suitable, will bloom twice a year, three flowers are extremely rare, how can Brother Ye make a small greenhouse by himself, he can bloom four times a year, what is the reason?" Xiao Tang shook his grandfather's hand and said coquettishly.
"Hmm, hmm, don't worry, don't worry, let me taste the product......" The old gentleman left Jiang Yelin and his granddaughter, and looked at the twelve flowers by himself, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and said excitedly
"These twelve junzi orchids are also called the twelve hairpins of Jinling, I have only seen them in the records of the Ming and Qing dynasties, these twelve junzi orchids can be called national treasures, and they are priceless national treasures!"
"A national treasure? That is, potted flowers and plants, is it really that rare? Donald, you're not making me happy, are you? Although Xiao Tang and I are new acquaintances, we are buddies, so you can always calculate, these twelve Junzi orchids, what, how much can be exchanged for the market price? As soon as it is said to become a national treasure, my small temple really can't afford to raise these twelve golden hairpins and great bodhisattvas......"
Although Jiang Yelin is a guy who pounds antiques and broken porcelain, he hasn't saved any net worth over the years, if all the pots and jars inside and outside the family are discounted, it would be good to be able to top 50,000 yuan in the high level, and it would be normal to get 30,000 yuan in the low level, if this is really a national treasure worth millions of dollars and staying in the yard like this, my heart is really not steady, and I really haven't seen so much money, right?
"Nonsense! Can a national treasure be measured in money? If there is only one Junzi orchid that blooms in all seasons, although it is extremely rare, it can always be found, do you know that this is the twelve golden flowers? Do the twelve hairpins of Jinling know? It's rare that these twelve flowers can really be cultivated together, which is unavoidable, you know? Do you understand priceless treasures?! ”
The old gentleman was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Jiang's style, this tall young man with white teeth and white teeth suddenly went from a folk gardening wizard who could forget his friendship to a gangster in the eyes of the market.
"Oh, grandpa, don't be so angry, Brother Ye has worked hard for ten years, is it easy to raise these twelve Junzi orchids into adults, why don't you praise him and criticize him so much! I can't be sure that there are so many national treasures planted in my yard! Xiao Tang shook his grandfather's arm and said angrily.
"No, I can't watch this kid spoil the national treasure Junzi Lan like this, so I can't sleep at night, young man, what do you care so much about money, money is something outside the body, life does not bring death and does not take it, you are still so young, there will be opportunities to develop a thriving career in the future, how about it, are you interested in coming to Lin University, I will give you the title of a distinguished visiting professor of the College of Horticulture, just start from these twelve golden hairpins, and strive to cultivate more little golden hairpins and little golden hairpins......"
Although the old gentleman's temper is impatient, his mind is fast, although these twelve golden hairpins are extremely rare national treasure-level junzi orchids, but they can successfully cultivate these twelve golden hairpins and become holy products that bloom all year round, and this young man in front of him is a more important talent, not to mention that he heard his granddaughter say that this child grew up in a welfare college, and he did not go to college in Panjiayuan, but he is a very smart master, and he has not done anything bad on the street in recent years, and the reputation of the neighbors is excellent, so this is a talent that can be made!
"Okay, okay, Brother Ye, to be honest, setting up a stall to pound antiques and broken porcelain, it's too hard to come and go in the wind and rain, I see that you are still mixed up with my grandfather, the distinguished visiting professor of Lin University, that is a lot of scientific research funds for you to spend every year, what's the matter, don't hesitate, both public and private, Jinling twelve hairpins still have to be taken care of...... Hey, I'm so envious! ”
Officer Xiao Tang shouted happily on the side, feeling that his grandfather was really wise and powerful, and that he was really a wise man, but he was really a Bole, this was the great cause for Brother Xiao Ye to embark on the right path and achieve positive results.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yelin was not moved at all when he heard this, how could Brother He De be a distinguished professor of Lin University, wouldn't this make people laugh and lose their big teeth? The eldest husband has the so-called inaction, although serving these flowers and plants is also cultivated sentiment or something, but my brother is still so young, what kind of gardening expert is not my brother's pursuit, besides, these twelve Junzi orchids are left by the cheap cousin, how do I know how he cultivated seedlings into plants, I just took over and reluctantly watered and fertilized to warm the shed and raised it......
"Old Tang, thanks to you and Xiao Tang's love, Xiao Ye I am grateful inexplicably, I am really ashamed, but to tell the truth, these twelve Junzi orchids are selected and bred by my cousin, I just raised it for ten years, what professor do you really want to hire, you have to go to my cousin, but it is not a coincidence, my cousin has been abroad for ten years, there is no news, you see that my family is also cold, this courtyard environment is too wronged by the twelve golden flowers, otherwise, if you Forestry University is willing to invite the national treasure to serve, I will not say a word, give you a 20% discount, You can give me 20% off the market price! How? ”
Jiang Yelin's words disappointed the old and young of the Tang family, the old gentleman had a strange face, frowned and turned to look at the twelve junzi orchids in the glass room behind him, and then looked at the yellow-haired Xiao Ye in front of him, obviously a bit of a dilemma, but the female film policeman Xiao Tang stomped her feet, turned her head angrily and ignored the affectionate Brother Ye who was shouting just now.
"Grandpa, let's go! Let this guy who is bent on money go with those twelve flowers by himself, and I will see who is willing to pay a high price for his flowers! "The girl is angry, and that is also a woman's heart is light and can't be provoked.
"That's it, you two don't send it slowly, I just went to the street to call a board car in, twelve golden hairpins today I will directly pull the flower and bird market to sell, more than I dare to ask, a plant of 200,000, who wants to take it away, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver!" Jiang Yelin laughed and was about to blast people out.
"Nonsense! Monkey business! This is the twelve golden hairpins, this is the holy gentleman's orchid that blooms all year round, this is a priceless national treasure! How can one plant be 200,000 enough!! If you take it apart, you will never be able to get together again in the future, and the value of the twelve golden hairpins together is higher than that of a single plant, do you understand the future generations! You're just setting up a stall in Panjiayuan to give people a mess! If you had taken the right path when you were admitted to university, you would never be like this now! ”
Mr. Tang coughed angrily, of course, it is absolutely impossible to let the old gentleman abandon Junzilan at this time, let Jiang someone pull the flowers to the flower and bird market and shout to dismantle and sell them, the old man will regret that he will not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Of course, Jiang Yelin couldn't really bombard the Tang family and the two of them to go out, so he retreated back, asked the old gentleman to sit down, and made a cup of tea again, while Xiao Tang stood behind his grandfather with a frosty face and refused to sit down, still sulking......
"Hey! I'm so by you! Such two choices, one of them, these twelve national treasures of the Monarch Orchid donated to the Beijing Forestry University free of charge, I hired you as a distinguished visiting professor of the College of Horticulture of the Forestry University, and allocated 1.2 million scientific research funds every year to you and your Monarch Orchid project team, of course, these twelve Monarch Orchids are still cultivated and managed by you, in addition, in the family area of the Forestry University to allocate a two-bedroom building for you, and other wages and benefits are preferential! ”
Xiao Tang's eyes lit up instantly, but Jiang Yelin slowly shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Old Tang, I do understand your sincerity, but I know my own ability, gardening should not be my hobby, what kind of horticulturist and gardening master, that is not my pursuit, besides, I look at Sven calmly, in fact, I have a free and uninhibited temperament in my bones, and it is definitely a mistake to plant flowers and grass in any nursery for you!" ”
"Hey! You, you! What do I say about you, how many people want to go to university to study for a master's degree and a doctorate, and become a lecturer and professor can't get it...... Well, maybe people have their own fate, two, two...... Xiaoye, my old man has never taken advantage of others, but this time he is cheeky to offer you a price, your twelve four-season flowering junzi orchids, you meet people who know the goods in the market, and a single plant can definitely be sold for 500,000 yuan, but my old man himself doesn't have so much money, and the scientific research budget of the Forestry University is not very generous......"
"Don't talk about it, don't say it, I have to find a hole to drill down, Huatuo confidant, you make a price, I will never bargain, you will pull away the twelve golden hairpins today, and the money will arrive in the account one day!" Jiang Yelin interrupted the old man's words, and his words were extremely atmospheric.
