That night, after dinner, Jiao's father did not go to the biological science institute to work overtime at night, and the old man Lan made a phone call to confirm that the Jiao family and his wife were at home and went upstairs.

Today's Jiao family, Jiao's father has to work overtime at night for three days and two ends, Jiao Yuan stayed, Xiaoyuzi had to do homework in the room, Su Xiaopang was probably the most idle one except for black charcoal, so he couldn't finish eating after dinner every day and went back to the house, so he naturally chatted with Jiao's mother for a while before withdrawing.

Today is just the right time to watch the excitement.

Old man Lan rarely came upstairs to be a guest, and Jiao's mother made tea and took fruit.

"No hassle. As soon as I had eaten and drunk, I came over and wanted to say a few words, and then left. Old man Lan motioned to Jiao's mother not to wash the fruit anymore.

I didn't say anything else, just got straight to the point.

Old man Lan told Jiao's father and Jiao's mother about orchids, and also said what those insiders said about this pot of orchids. Some people's estimates also say that this is the most important thing, after all, for many people who are not keen on flowers and plants, the meaning of flowers and plants is just a large stack of yuan. Often disputes are because of this, so Old Man Lan must make it clear.

I heard that it may reach the level of 10 million, which really scared the Jiao family and his wife.

"How can it be so expensive...... "Jiao's mother muttered.

She has always been unable to understand, isn't it just a potted flower, as for the first estimate is 100,000 million, and now it is 10 million, which makes Jiao's mother, who still has the mentality of a small citizen, feel thump in her heart, not to say how greedy she is for money, but simply shocked by this information.

Because I had heard that the old man had sold millions of orchids in his hands, and I had also heard that some treasures that had won special awards had reached the level of 10 million, ordinary people might not be able to see so much money in their lives.

But after all, it was only heard that it was something that people of Old Man Lan's level came into contact with, and the Jiao family never thought that it would happen to them.

During the summer vacation, Jiao's mother was shocked enough to take over Su Xiaopang's real estate investment of nearly 10 million, but after all, it was Su Xiaopang's money, and Jiao's mother could still accept it with the intention of helping and supervising.

But now......

"One pot is nearly 10 million!" Jiao's mother sighed in a low voice.

Old Man Lan raised his eyelids and said quietly: "According to my experience, it is not nearly 10 million in a pot, generally speaking, it is calculated according to how much a seedling is, and now there is more than one seedling in this pot of orchids." ”

Jiao's mother couldn't help but breathe.

The first thought is that her pets can make more money than the couple of them, and they can become nouveau riche by bringing back two seedlings casually, and Jiao's father, who is tired of working hard to engage in scientific research.

Who found this pot of flowers? Who brought it all the way back? All three of them knew.

Dad Jiao saw that Old Man Lan was very reluctant to see this pot of orchids, not because of the value of this pot of flowers, but because of the pot itself, for Old Man Lan, flowers are more important than money.

And since this pot of flowers is so valuable, even if the Jiao family sends it, Old Man Lan will definitely not be really cheeky to accept it, this old man has a stubborn temper.

After thinking about it, Jiao's father said: "Can you take care of this pot of flowers with Professor Lan first, you also know that no one in our family understands this, if you take it back, it may be destroyed in a few days." ”

This old man Lan also understands that if he can stay at hand for a while longer, Old Man Lan is naturally happy, and if he is really ruined, he will cry and faint in the flower garden first.

"Okay, I'll take care of it for you first, and tell me directly when you want to get it back. Also, in addition to telling you about this matter, I also want to ask you how to choose the name of this flower, which will be written on the flower show at that time. "The matter of the flower show was asked by phone to Jiao's father before Old Man Lan agreed to participate in the exhibition, and Jiao's father naturally had no opinion.

When it comes to choosing names, Jiao's mother is not good at it, and Jiao's father is not sure about flowers, so the couple glanced at each other, or should they hand over this naming right to Old Man Lan, a professional? Look at the black cat lying on the side of the sofa with its limbs spread out, it is depressedly dodging Su Xiaopang's cat petting behavior, and there seems to be no resistance to Old Man Lan's words.

After thinking about it, Jiao's father had already made a decision in his heart.

"You don't understand this, let's leave it to you to decide, this flower is also taken care of by you, the flower can have today, Professor Lan, you are indispensable, we didn't contribute at all, we forgot about it." Thinking about the two flower seedlings that were brought back at the beginning, and listening to what Professor Lan said now, the couple felt that this was nothing to do with themselves.

Hei Tan dodged Su Xiaopang's "salty pig hand", while paying attention to Old Man Lan's expression, when Jiao's father said the name that made Old Man Lan decide to spend it, Old Man Lan's mouth couldn't help grinning, it is estimated that it took a lot of effort to maintain the majestic image, if it wasn't for the fear of losing face here, Old Man Lan would probably be able to jump up excitedly.

Naming a treasure is a very significant event for many people, and it can be famous for the present and recorded in history. Thousands of years later, when people open the relevant records or start research, it is natural to mention the name of this treasure. It is also possible to mention in passing the excavators and the people who named them. But even if they don't mention their names, they're happy to do it. That's what they named!

Jiao's father and Jiao's mother pretended not to see the unstoppable expression on Old Man Lan's face.

"Professor Nalan, have you figured out what to name that pot of flowers?" Jiao's father asked.

"Ahem, I haven't thought about it yet, I have to think about this." Old man Lan straightened his face and said.

Listening to this, don't talk about black charcoal, and Jiao's father doesn't believe it. Seeing that Old Man Lan should have made a decision a long time ago, and now he is still pretending. However, Jiao's father didn't point it out, Old Man Lan loves face. Can't refute his old man's face.

Since I can get the naming right. Old Man Lan was in a good mood and was not so serious, and Jiao's mother suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Old man Lan looked at the time and said, "That's it." You'll have some time tomorrow. I'll take you over to see the flowers. I'll arrange it then. ”

So, the next day, the Jiao family couple, Su Musha, Xiao Yuzi, plus black charcoal, the four of them and a cat followed Old Man Lan to the small flower garden.

After seeing the flowers, the Jiao family and Xiao Yuzi also stayed unconsciously for a while, if it weren't for the old man Lan reminding them on the side, the three of them would probably continue to look at it again.

However, Su Musha didn't have that kind of stunned reaction, which made Old Man Lan a little strange, but then Old Man Lan was thrown into the population of "rotten wood cannot be carved".

If Su Xiaopang knew Old Man Lan's thoughts, he would have to cry and laugh, he had seen it once when he was making a little gray ball, and it was estimated that he was immune, so he naturally wouldn't stay anymore.

"Really...... It's beautiful! Jiao's mother sighed. Compared with gold and silver, she already prefers jade, although the flower shape is simple, but how to look at how it feels pleasing to the eye, when she came back to her senses, Jiao's mother even wanted to reach out and touch it to see if it was really a flower, not carved from jade.

Jiao's mother was stopped by Old Man Lan before she touched the flower, Old Man Lan treasured this flower, for fear that Jiao's mother would break it. However, I still asked Jiao's mother to be careful and touch it carefully.

Jiao's mother was also nervous when she touched it, but she touched it lightly, and she quickly withdrew her hand before she felt anything, this is a treasure valued at the level of tens of millions, she was afraid that her hand would shake and destroy the flower.

"If this is really carved out of jade, it is also a high-grade or even superb jade, and the flower in front of it is like a ...... Living jade-like. Jiao's mother sighed.

No wonder Professor Lan was confident that he could put such a high price on the estimate.

Black charcoal has always felt that this orchid is quite evil, but nature is good at creating miracles, and since it is a natural variety, black charcoal is not entangled. Of course, for many people, orchids have symbolized positive connotations from ancient times to the present, and what seems to be evil to black charcoal is like a fairy spirit to the old man Lan.

Like jade, like a fairy.

God-like nature.

After seeing the flowers, Jiao's father was even more determined in his decision: he put the flowers here at Old Man Lan! As for when he will come back, Jiao's father didn't say.

Moreover, when Jiao's father asked Old Man Lan to participate in the exhibition or other exchange meetings, the "exhibitor" or information about the owner of the flower on the introduction would write Old Man Lan's own name.

Old man Lan felt that the Jiao family was really at a loss, and as soon as he was serious, he came out to sign an agreement with Jiao's father, after all, this flower is not an ordinary product, and the old man Lan didn't want to blur the question of ownership.

This Hua Jiao family has hot hands, not to mention after the flower show, as long as those people get the news, they can come to the door early the next morning to block people. The Jiao family and his wife have seen several times when the old man Lan was blocked at home and begged the old man Lan to sell orchids.

As for whether this pot is sold or not, Jiao's father doesn't have that idea, and Old Man Lan doesn't approve of it. hasn't become famous yet, the price will be lowered, and in terms of price alone, it's not cost-effective. And Old Man Lan felt that it was a bit of a loss to negotiate the price of this pot of flowers, for Old Man Lan, this flower was priceless.

"A lot of money is so high, it's all speculated, maybe it will fall into the ordinary ranks in a few years. Fried orchids, some people get rich overnight, and some people go bankrupt. Old man Lan said, "But this pot of flowers doesn't need to be fried at all, even after a few years, it will still be fascinating." ”

On the third day, the old man Lan came to Jiao's house again, and took an ink painting, which he painted by the old man himself, and the painting was the pot of orchids, and next to it was written with six big characters - iron bones. Jade Cat Fairy.

Therefore, "Jade Cat Fairy" is the name given to the flower by Old Man Lan. At that time, whether it is to participate in the exhibition or to participate in the exchange meeting, the "name of the inscription" column in the flower information will be marked with the three words "Jade Cat Fairy", and when everyone mentions this flower in the future, it will be called "Jade Cat Fairy".

The people of the Jiao family naturally knew the meaning of this name, but several other old men wondered after knowing it.

"Jade Immortal" is okay, they admit that this flower looks quite fairy, but why is there a "cat"?

Where does this flower look like a cat?

Old man Lan didn't say much about the name of the flower, but simply mentioned that the discovery of the flower was related to a cat, and when people asked carefully, Old Man Lan kept silent again, just didn't say anything.

Actually, the old man Lan knew that this orchid was found by the Jiao family's black cat and the little hamster together, but the little hamster is no longer there, plus the name "Jade Mouse Fairy......

Forget it, it's still the Jade Cat Fairy!

Fortunately, everyone's attention is now focused on the pot of flowers, although even if it is strange that the name of the flower has the word "cat" in it, now is not the time to worry about the name, and they all want to take a few more glances at the pot of flowers.

Recently, the old man Lan has been mentioned many times because of this pot of flowers, and the old man has raised a pot of orchids with a price of more than 10 million yuan, which has become a hot topic in the family compounds of the two districts.

Where did Old Man Lan go recently and met someone he knew, people would ask him: "Old Lan, take out your pot of jade cat for everyone to see, don't always hide it!" ”

It's a pity that after the name of the flower is set, Old Man Lan's flower garden is not going to be open to the public, even if it is a few who have a good relationship, they want to go through the back door, Old Man Lan contacted people, ready to send this pot of flowers to the botanical garden, before sending it over, Old Man Lan didn't plan to let people see it, and when there were a few stubborn types of disturbing Old Man Lan, they would let them look down on a few times, as for those who were not so thick-skinned, they could only be turned away. So, sometimes you still have to be thick-skinned.

Hei Tan also heard that there were two old men in order to see the orchids, looking for the old man Lan but did not find anyone, and the wall of the small flower garden was not too high, so he took a ladder and prepared to climb the wall to go in, but he was old, his movements were not very flexible, his reaction was not very fast, and he almost fell and was injured.

Later, Old Man Lan grabbed this and laughed for a long time.

Anyway. After three years of silence, Old Man Lan has increased his face this time.

The duration of this flower show is very long, from the first two days of the eleventh to about the twentieth, because this year is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the provincial leaders and city leaders have decided to hold a big flower show to celebrate.

The flower show is divided into several sub-venues and a main venue, so that citizens living in each ward can go to the nearest park or square to see the flower show. Old man Lan and some professionals set their sights on the main venue of the Municipal Botanical Garden. There, there will be more famous and rare flowers on display.

Many of the flowers in the main venue and the branch venues were collected from the public, but many of the finale were provided by some people who knew each other in the circle of old man Lan who loved flowers and raised flowers. They didn't take all the famous flowers they had to the botanical garden, but they still left one or two pots in other branch venues, so that there were also famous products on display for the public to watch. Of course, there are also special security personnel in charge of the branch venue, so there is no need to worry about damage.

However, the old men will still take the ace flowers used to slap each other in the face with their favorite favorites and the like, and the old men will still take them to the main venue of the Botanical Garden.

There are professional-grade display table protective windows and more professional talents and connoisseurs, although this is not an event like an expo, but in a sense. It has been regarded by some as a small exchange meeting.

What is the exchange for?

Exchange experience in raising flowers?

Yes, this one naturally has.

And then what?

Just like a class reunion, pretending and showing off wealth are indispensable.

It's just that others show off the garage table, and they show off the flowers and trees. The old men still feel good about themselves, this is also art, a high-level spiritual enjoyment, not a vulgar and vulgar exchange of money.

Every time I listen to the old men in the compound say these things triumphantly, Hei Tan will despise them in his heart: a group of old naughty boys, don't look at the appearance of a superior in front of college students or young teachers, they are just old children in private, they will still compare, they will still fight, and they will still do some ridiculous things, such as the two days of the wall incident.

In the morning, Hei Tan followed Jiao's father out, and when he walked around the small flower garden, he happened to see the old man Lan coming out of the small flower garden like a thief, and when he came out, he also paid attention to whether there were any people he knew around, and when he saw that there was none, he quickly locked the courtyard door and clapped his hands to go home.

Old man Lan has already placed the flowers in it so early, I don't know when he got up, it is estimated that he will come out at five o'clock in the morning. This is obviously to prevent others from coming over.

After seeing the black charcoal, Old Man Lan smiled again with wrinkles on his face.

"Black charcoal, the flower show will last for a week, but tomorrow a few of our old men have made an appointment to bring the flowers, and then you will follow your cat father and them to see it."

Old man Lan and their respective hearts and souls will definitely not be kept at the booth all the time, one day of communication is enough, why a week? Except for the people who are full during the Golden Week, the Botanical Garden is much more relaxed now, and there will be no riots, so they can rest assured.

And Old Man Lan's words just now also revealed two points of information. First, the old guys' hearts and minds will be on display tomorrow; Second, the little Jiao in Old Man Lan's mouth is Jiao's father, since he said so, it means that Jiao's father and they will all go over to see it, tomorrow is Saturday, Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi are there, not to mention Su Xiaopang, the guy who never goes to school on time, the whole family can go; This third, generally speaking, according to the rules, the botanical garden is not allowed to bring pets in, but there are few people on weekdays, and the people in the botanical garden will turn a blind eye, but now is the flower show, it is still more difficult for pets to go in, and the old man Lan can propose to let Zheng Si go with him, and he must also take care of the relationship in the botanical garden, maybe the documents needed have already been given to Jiao's father.

Being able to go to the botanical garden with the Jiao family to watch the flower show, Hei Tan is naturally very happy, and he can go out with the family, and he can also get in touch with nature, what a good time to relax.

Another handful of privileges.

Hei Tan also knew that Old Man Lan had told Jiao's father that if this pot of flowers wanted to be sold, his suggestion was to press it for the time being, not to be in a hurry to sell, and not to be afraid of the collapse of the Lan market. Every year, there are some orchid exchange meetings and fairs, which are attended by some famous people in the circle, both domestic and foreign, and many of them are not open to the public. After all, what everyone brought to the exchange meeting was their own favorites, which were worth a lot of money, and they couldn't afford to make mistakes. As long as the orchid is famous and there are more people who want to buy it, the price will naturally rise again, and may even increase several times.

Dad Jiao didn't seem to have any intention of selling, which made Old Man Lan breathe a sigh of relief, and his mood was naturally better. Because it means that the orchid may stay in his old man's hands for a few more years.

After Old Man Lan left, Black Tan didn't actually plan to go into the small flower garden to see the flowers, he actually didn't have much interest in those, besides, since Old Man Lan had already come to the small flower garden, he must have done a good job of protecting it inside, and he couldn't see the pot of flowers when he went in.

Just as he was about to leave, Black Tan's ears moved and looked over.

The sheriff jumped from a tree around the corner and walked some distance around the fence. glanced at Zheng Si. Seeing that Zheng Si didn't mean to jump in, he moved by himself and climbed over the wall to get in.

Like those who think about orchids, the sheriff has been thinking about the pot of orchids since he saw it. However, Old Man Lan had already gained experience in preventing it, and he didn't let the sheriff see the pot of flowers again, even if the sheriff came to guard it every day, he didn't have that opportunity.

Didn't the sheriff understand Old Man Lan's warning?

Not necessarily.

As a sheriff who has known the sheriff for six years, Zheng Si knows that this guy's IQ is no problem at all. And cats that have been in contact with humans for a long time in human society can also understand some words.

Don't think they don't understand, they just don't want to execute it, they're just playing dumb.

The reason why he stepped on the line repeatedly was purely because the sheriff knew that Old Man Lan couldn't do anything about it, and he himself wanted to see flowers gnawing flowers, so he just didn't understand, what everyone said, and it shook out the words it heard and threw it away with a shake of its ears.

Black Charcoal jumped on the wall and looked, and sure enough, the sheriff could only wander outside the cat-proof net, and he couldn't go in the flower shed, so he could only gnaw on the unprotected trees and small wildflowers around him.

With the sheriff tossing there, Black Carbon jumped on a lesson tree and looked up at the sky.

Although it rained a little bit at the time of Eleven, but now that the sky is sunny and the temperature has risen a little, tomorrow should also be a sunny day.

Also, if it weren't for the sunny day, the old man Lan wouldn't go, and if they wanted to arrange anything, they would have already understood all kinds of weather and geographical conditions.

"Black charcoal!"

Someone shouted under the tree, and Hei Tan looked down to see that it was still Su Xiaopang.

As a student bully who has escaped from school, Su Xiaopang, it is not uncommon for him to appear in the compound at any time, anyway, this product has good grades, and Jiao's father and Jiao's mother and the teachers in the school don't care about him.

Su Xiaopang also squatted on a red squirrel on his shoulder, which didn't look big, and it should be one of the few newly born this year.

It's strange to say that the red squirrels, who used to be good friends of Little Gray Ball, were not close to the Jiao family after the little hamster left, and still lived leisurely on the big trees all over the campus.

Except for the big hair in the grove, which came out from time to time to fight with Ah Huang or the sheriff, there was almost no trace of the others.

But after Su Xiaopang came, he had a good relationship with those red squirrels, and Hei Tan had seen this guy playing with a few red squirrels more than once.

Rejected Su Xiaopang's invitation to go to the bookstore together, and Hei Tan went to visit the campus by himself.
