Chapter 42: Targeted
Because his hair was tied up now, Qiao Shushu did not choose to bring it, but carefully put it in his arms.
She loved it.
"Big brother and third brother, do you know where there are flower seeds sold in the town?"
She didn't plan to grow food, because it was more troublesome to sell it in the town, and it was difficult to explain it to her family.
Johe was embarrassed, "Girl, you like flowers, let's buy a little bit, don't save that money, it's so troublesome to grow, I don't know how long we have to wait." ”
Speaking of which, it's because it's troublesome that I don't grow vegetables.
Qiao Wu echoed: "That's right, what's more, planting flowers is more troublesome than growing vegetables, maybe you will sow the seeds, and only a few seedlings will die, there is a flower market in front, should we go and take a look?" ”
He listens to the girl.
"I have studied this in the Zhenguo Mansion before, and I am very sure that I can grow it well." Qiao Shushu followed them over.
Since you choose to sell flowers, you naturally have to find a reason for them to believe it.
Qiao Shushu originally thought that the so-called flower market was a lot of merchants setting up stalls on the street to sell flowers, but as a result, he saw that there were all shops on both sides of this street. And all the flowers sold on the left are fake flowers, such as paper flowers, silk flowers, satin flowers, and velvet flowers.
The natural ones sold on the right are real flowers, including peony flowers, orchids, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, hibiscus flowers, kapok, lotus flowers, jasmine flowers, lilies, etc.
None of this is the same season, are they?
Could it be that flower sheds have already appeared in this era?
Seeing Qiao He and Qiao Wu's normal looks, it was obviously not strange, Qiao Shushu asked curiously, "Do you know how these flowers are grown?" ”
"Grown out of soil!" On this street, except for the merchants who sell goods, those customers are all beauties, Johe looked straight and said casually, and as soon as the words fell, his arm was twisted fiercely.
It hurt so much that his whole body jumped.
"Can you be serious, my sister is still here, and my father and I can't spare you if you break her." Seeing that his eyes were about to fly out, Qiao Wu glared at him fiercely.
Johe glared back unconvinced, and just wanted to refute, but when he saw his sister staring at him, he closed his mouth in amusement.
Qiao Wu looked at Qiao Shushu and said: "This is only known to their flower farmers, and it is said that the specific method was taught to them by the Queen Mother." ”
"The Queen Mother?" Qiao Shushu became interested for a while.
After listening for a while, Qiao Shushu understood the reason, it turned out that it was said that the current Queen Mother is particularly fond of flowers, just two years before her seventieth birthday, she wrote out in detail the types she likes and how to grow them, and handed them over to the emperor to distribute them, so that every family can plant flowers on an acre of land.
If the flowers are planted well, they will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and ordinary villagers can not sell the land for so much money if they plant it for a year, so the villagers are very serious about planting.
On the day of her birthday, all kinds of flowers spread all over Nanjing, it is said that at that time, stepping on it was almost to the knees, and then the flowers were planted by many people, and took out to sell, and gradually became a lot of flower markets.
It's a luxury.
Qiao Wu naturally didn't know what Qiao Shushu thought, and seeing that she was curious, she continued: "Now every family goes to a relative's house, and they will buy a flower, which represents respect, and then it became a comparison, whoever buys more flowers and more types has face." ”
It seems that she still has to thank the queen mother, if it weren't for her, the flower would not have developed so well.
However, what exactly is the method of this queen mother?
Qiao Shushu didn't linger on this idea for long, because she felt that something was wrong.
He turned his head sharply, but there was nothing, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
She quickened her pace.
Johe and Joe Wu followed closely behind.
It wasn't until she turned into an alley that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Girl, why are you walking so fast? I don't know, I think there's something good waiting for you in front of you. ”
"Don't talk." Qiao Shushu suddenly raised her voice, glanced behind her vigilantly, and asked the two of them to stay here while she walked around the street.
Sure enough, the feeling of being stared at never disappeared.
They came for her.
She began to walk towards each shop, walked around the inside before coming out, and over and over again, until she finally entered a shop that specialized in flower seeds.
"What seeds do you want to buy?"
The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man in his thirties, not tall, with very white skin and thick eyebrows, which at first glance will make people feel very stylish.
"One bag of orchids, one bottle of chrysanthemum, one plum blossom, one hibiscus flower, one pack of kapok seeds."
The boss glanced behind her and said with a smile: "This flower seed needs to be soaked in medicinal powder, but the time is different, if you have time, come to the store, I will teach you the method." ”
Just as she intended.
After entering, several juniors came out of the store shouting and blocking the door.
Qiao Shushu frowned and stopped.
The boss smiled: "Childe will drink tea first, and I'll pick the seeds." ”
Xiao Er's eyes were quick and he poured a cup of tea.
Seeing that his face remained unchanged, Qiao Shushu subconsciously retreated to the door, and echoed in his mouth: "Then you have to pick it well!" ”
The boss naturally noticed her movements, and shouted to a junior at the door: "Yesterday, a young lady said that the money bag was robbed by others, and bought five taels of silver flowers from us, and today said that she would return us twenty taels. ”
"The shopkeeper can rest assured." The little two said in unison.
The boss seemed to be dissatisfied, "Don't worry, the woman came with two men, both of whom are strong and remember clearly." ”
Xiao Er's echoed again.
The boss turned around and raised an eyebrow at Qiao Shushu.
Qiao Shushu narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, but he had a rough idea in his heart.
How could it be such a coincidence? She was targeted, and someone came out to solve the siege?
The boss said that the woman owes money and will quadruple to pay him back today, doesn't it mean that she owes Xu Yixuan the silver, and the two very strong men who followed the woman, doesn't it mean Qiao He and Qiao Wu.
Are they Xu Yixuan's people?
Although she thought so, she didn't dare to take it lightly, until the boss handed her a few packets of seeds.
"I've never seen a woman willing to plant flowers, I don't know if what you're planting will be an ordinary vine, Miss? Or what about other species of red? ”
Xu Yixuan has seen her use vines, as if he has also seen the appearance of her body.
Qiao Shushu took it, took a look, and saw that there were words written on these packets of seeds.
They are plum flowers, fragrant flowers, strange flowers, and fluttering ......
It looks a little weird.
Could it be that she is overthinking? It's just a different kind of packaging from their store and, not a hint?
Go out with these packets of seeds.
Qiao Shushu saw Li's Flower Shop, Xiangmange, Strange Flower Story and other shops.
