One hundred and ninety-seven, the leader of the flowers
Lan Demon stroked the leaves with his hand and said, This flower also took me some thought. If I really die, I can't bear it. If that person is good, it should be good to let him raise him for a lifetime when he comes back to turn over the pot in the future. Hey, everything depends on a fate, and I can't say it now. Dao Chief, I know that the local area is rich in ghost flowers, and according to my judgment, if there are seven ghost flowers of one or two catties, it should be no problem to keep it for two or three years. It's a pity that I never trade these items, I can't find the local ghost market, and Sister Miao has no way, no way, I can only trouble you. Fortunately, the thing was originally given to you, and I originally wanted to surprise you, but now I said it a few days earlier, but it was very boring.
It turns out that it's going to be a ghost flower. Hey, maybe I can't get anything else, this ghost flower, if you want a car, I'll get it for you in minutes. Lin Xiaoqiang laughed, this thing is easy to do, since you are kind, I can't let you down. You wait, it's a big deal in two or three days, I'll get you a ten pound and twenty pound first.
That's good. But Dao Chief, there is something I did without you, and if I say it, don't be angry.
Well, I thought you were kind, but it turned out that something was still wrong. Hmph, you name it.
Actually, it's not a big deal. You know, if you do something now, you have to make up a story first. I, a young woman, suddenly took out such a precious orchid, which is indeed too eye-catching. Therefore, I say to the outside world that this flower is yours, you are a Taoist who cultivates Qing, and you went into the mountains to collect medicine a few years ago and got this flower. As for our relationship, I'm sorry, but I said that you are my senior brother, and I used to study the Tao with Master for a few years when I was a child. Do you understand?
Although there are not many words, the meaning is clear. Lin Xiaoqiang said, I also lied to Xiaoman that she was my junior sister, but now it's good, she really recognizes me as a senior brother. It's okay, senior brother is senior brother, as long as you avoid Xiao Man, it's easy to say anything.
The story is settled here, and Lin Xiaoqiang will look back and ask for the matter of this ghost flower. Now for Lin Xiaoqiang, is this a thing? Not to mention the Seven Ghost Flowers, even the best Nine Ghost Flowers, Lin Xiaoqiang is someone who will send them forward with one mouth. However, there is still a matter of who the business is doing with it. Since he has an appointment with the Mighty Ghost King, he can't be very close to Lianjiang County. Fortunately, this thing is locally available, and it was sent out to Liu Yun to take a turn around the ghost market, but a few dozen talismans were exchanged for a large bag of seven ghost flowers, which could have thirty catties, but Liu Yun was tired enough to carry it back.
Once you have something, let's hurry up. After all, with an income of several million, Li Bing was very happy. There is no need to say anything about the book, the things are delivered, and the flower demon first took out the scissors, cut the ghost flower into small pieces, and then mixed it with some fine stone bark or something, and stirred it well in a pot. Only then did he take out a purple sand orchid pot and carefully transplant the orchid. After finishing this pot, there are still three pots, but the leaves are wider, some are tall and some are short. Li Binglin Xiaoqiang didn't understand, that is, he was just watching the Lan Demon busy from the sidelines.
After the Lan Demon finished transplanting, he nodded, looking very satisfied. Collect the rest of the ghost flowers and say to Lin Xiaoqiang, you will pull them all back today. I'll teach you how to water. In a few days, I will look for you, and when the time comes, you will be under my command, and you will earn this money.
Then, I talked about how to water, how to shade, and how to maintain. Lin Xiaoqiang heard it in the clouds, and Li Bing didn't understand it, so he knew two things, first, the water in the well in Guanli was good, and it was good to water the flowers. However, if you go back and water it once today, then don't water it. Let's talk about watering later. Second, you can't put it in the sun, but you can't put it in the house. Li Bingxin said, that's not simple, isn't there watering? And then put it in the courtyard corridor and it's over?
If you want to move four pots of flowers at once, you have to find a car. Now it's troublesome to find a pickup truck, and the taxi is not easy to load. It happened that there was a clothing store next to the flower shop, and a porter was delivering it to him, so Lin Xiaoqiang beckoned the porter over and used your tricycle to help me pull these pots of flowers back.
The price is easy to say, this porter himself depends on this for food, and he will do business if he has it. This is a fire three-wheeler, as soon as it is opened, it is abrupt, the flowers are placed in the hopper, Lin Xiaoqiang is also sitting in the hopper, and he goes back to Baozhenguan all the way. Today's weather is good, and the fire three wheels are suddenly, but it feels like sitting on an open top. Lin Xiaoqiang said to Li Bing, if you tell this carryer, these pots of grass on the car are worth tens of millions, I think, his car can be overturned. Li Bing smiled, this is not surprising, everyone has different visions, different values, and of course sees things differently. Therefore, there is no need to force consensus on everything, and seeking common ground while reserving differences is the truth.
When they got to the place, they moved the flowers in, first dug a well and watered them thoroughly, and then put them under the verandah against the base of the wall. Xiao Man saw that she had brought back a few pots of flowers, so she hurriedly came to watch them, but unfortunately she couldn't appreciate her grade, and she was not interested in taking a few more looks.
I don't know if it's the spell of the orchid demon, or if the well water is really effective, in a few days, a few orchids are becoming more and more lush, and the buds of the spring orchid are also quietly beginning to bloom. As the flowers bloom, a strange fragrance envelops the yard, and even the big yard can be smelled from time to time. Li Bing didn't know how good this flower was, but with the fragrance of this flower, this flower was definitely not a big road product.
Lan Demon called early in the morning and asked Lin Xiaoqiang to bring flowers and start the exhibition today, which is also a primary election. Lin Xiaoqiang cleaned up neatly, his face was shaved clean, and he set off to witness the moment when millions arrived.
Where to go? Municipal Museum. The next three days will be the city's Chunlan Exhibition this year.
It is said that it is an exhibition, and there is also an award program. The purpose of this exhibition is to promote orchid culture and provide a platform and opportunity for the majority of orchid friends to communicate. This platform is there, how to communicate? That's buying, buying, selling, selling. Who else will sit down, let's have a good chat, how do you raise this flower, how do you get the soil? Really valuable experience, that is the secret recipe, if you don't pay enough tuition, which will tell you?
This exhibition is also divided into grades, and the really good one is the innermost booth in the museum hall, which is the flower that is going to compete for the gold medal. In other words, it's all sky-high prices. The second-class ones, who do not participate in the awards, are on display, then they will be at another booth in the hall. Waiting again, there was only a shed set up in the square outside, each of which was laid out and traded freely.
Lan Demon has already signed up, and he is directly involved in the competition. Lin Xiaoqiang hugged the orchid and walked to the museum, for the orchid exhibition, the layout inside has changed, but I haven't been here for a long time, and I saw the museum again, which brought back a lot of memories, I remember that I still helped Wu Qiong protect the cultural relics at that time, but there was no magic at all. Now, we have become the lord of the land. As soon as he thought of the past, Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing were a little trance-like, and they saw slow under their feet, and the Lan Demon pulled him, be careful, and go this way.
Only then did he come back to his senses and walk towards a long table for the first evaluation. At a glance, this is the favorite to compete for the gold award, but I didn't say it, let's go to the innermost row first.
This is where the photo is taken, the registration is done, and a series of formalities. The Lan Demon went to handle it, Lin Xiaoqiang had nothing to do, and walked around. Today is only the first day, and there are not many people coming, but there are a lot of orchids of all colors. In the hall, it was all taken care of by the security guards, and the owner was not around, so naturally the price could not be asked. Lin Xiaoqiang walked to the square, and there were many people under those sheds who were setting up stalls, and pots of orchids were placed on the table, colorful and beautiful. There are also small signs written with the name of the flower, and there are also those that do not indicate the name. There are also those who write the price directly and put it in front of the basin, and there are also those who do not mark the price. Lin Xiaoqiang casually looked at a few of them, the cheapest ones cost two or three thousand, it seems that this thing is really not something that ordinary people can play, just the price of the goods in this square, how much should it be worth if it is placed inside? It seems that the millions that Lan Demon said are very reliable.
After turning around, I saw a lot of orchids, and there were more than a dozen selling dendrobium or something, but I couldn't understand them anyway. Go back to the hall and ask the Lan Demon what to do next, the Lan Demon said, it's okay, go home.
This is going home?
yes, the award will be tomorrow. Oh, if you like, walk around here by yourself, I'm going back.
Tweed? Just put it here?
yes, that's it. If you don't put it here, do you have to move it back?
Just leave it like that? Not afraid of being stolen?
What are you afraid of, the presiding committee will naturally arrange these things. Feel relieved. Come over at about 10 o'clock tomorrow, I guess we're done, but we're busy.
That's it? Lin Xiaoqiang took another look inside out of habit, just this security, if you want to steal the flowers, can't you do it with your eyes closed? Anyway, that's a few million, wouldn't it be a pity to lose it?
Just this little thing made Lin Xiaoqiang worry about it all night. He didn't want to think about it, what kind of skill he was now? What he thinks is so simple that death, maybe ordinary thieves already find it difficult to go to heaven. Since this orchid exhibition dares to put the flowers, it has its own security measures. However, Lin Xiaoqiang was still relieved the next day, and came to the museum early, and when he entered the door, he saw that the flowers were still there, so he was relieved.
Some of them came early. At eight o'clock, the awards began. More than a dozen judges, some old and some young, took a notebook in their hands and began to wander around the hall. Every few steps, look at its leaves, and a few steps closer, look at its flowers, get up, and smell its fragrance. Each refers to the fingers and the feet, and the head and the foot are judged. Don't look at what Lan Demon said simply, I really saw that people were scoring, Lin Xiaoqiang was still nervous, if we weren't a gold medal, would the millions be in vain? Therefore, it is said that if you care about everything, you will be chaotic, and you will inevitably suffer from gains and losses.
This side is still being awarded, and Lin Xiaoqiang felt a shock from the pocket watch in his arms. Looking back, the Lan Demon from afar came. Lin Xiaoqiang's Taoist outfit was very conspicuous, and the Lan Demon also found him at a glance. Seeing that Lin Xiaoqiang came early, Lan Demon couldn't help but tease a few words, but he didn't say a few words, seeing that everyone was going up, this is the end of the award, and when the judges unify their opinions, they will announce the ranking.
The more you get to this point, the more people think. Lin Xiaoqiang was inexplicably nervous for a while, but Lan Demon had an indifferent expression. After a while, the results of the judges came out, and an old man stood behind the table and read it. First the bronze medal, a few numbers. So someone took a bronze medal made of paper and hung it on the numbered flower pot. And then the silver medal. When Lin Xiaoqiang heard it, he didn't have our number, is this happy or worried?
Everyone was also discussing, and after a while, the old man read, three gold medals, and a few numbers. When Lin Xiaoqiang heard it, hey, why don't you have ours yet? Haha, this Lan demon, let's talk big, the cowhide is blown up, it's still millions, and I can't even get a bronze medal, hum, I'll see how you end up.
There was also a buzz in the crowd, buzzing and buzzing. The old man coughed and said, quiet. This, the jury discussed, because this year's Lan Exhibition, there is a particularly outstanding plant, which seems to be above the three gold medals, so we all discussed and temporarily decided to set up a special gold medal to show recognition.
Again, sure enough, it was Lin Xiaoqiang's one. The crowd was thunderous and excited. There was a staff member next to him, who took a piece of yellow printing paper and temporarily printed out such a special gold medal and put it in front of Lin Xiaoqiang's pot of orchids.
Lin Xiaoqiang's heart was put back in his stomach. Okay, the gold medal is not enough, let's have a special gold award, it seems that the millions that Lan Demon said are about to arrive. At this time, the presiding committee asked the owner of the award-winning orchid to go up to receive the certificate and take a photo. Batch by batch. Of course, Lin Xiaoqiang's special gold medal is the last, because he is there, no one pays attention to the three gold medal winners. Lan Demon pulled Lin Xiaoqiang, and the two of them went up together and received the certificate in their hands.
One is a young and handsome Taoist priest, and the other is a dignified and stunning beauty, this combination is not inferior to that orchid. The gossip of this crowd instantly soared, and some people who came to interview the orchid exhibition began to ask about the origin of this pot of orchids.
The Lan Demon was generous, smiling, and said, This pot of flowers belongs to my senior brother. This is my senior brother, and he is a monk. Usually he also raises a little flowers. A few years ago, I went into the mountains to collect medicine and found this orchid by chance. At the time, I thought I liked it, and after digging it back, I carefully cultivated it for a few years. He is a person who has no quarrel with the world, and this year I persuaded him that it is better to have fun with everyone than to enjoy himself, so he took it out. I thought it would make everyone laugh, but I didn't expect to get the first place, which was really unexpected.
This is said generously and decently, not only introducing the origin of the orchid, but also explaining the relationship between the two, the words are modest, plus her appearance, there is applause at the bottom.
After the awards, the judges will be fine, go back to the house to rest, and wait for the lunch dinner. It's free time in this hall, and it's time to start discussing business. The crowd squeezed inside, wanting to see the demeanor of this special gold award, and the security guards also set up a cordon early, so they could only watch from a distance and take pictures casually.
On one side of the hall, there are chairs. This is what is prepared for everyone to negotiate the price. There are also small private rooms with sofas, which are for big business. However, if you enter the private room, you will have to charge some tea fees. Lan Demon pulled Lin Xiaoqiang, let's go, let's go there and have a cup of tea first.
The two of them walked one after the other, and then walked to the tea house. Halfway through, three or four people followed. Needless to say, this is to talk about a deal. This is a big court, and it is not a place to speak, Lan Demon smiled slightly, Lin Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand to guide, everyone sit down first.
I went into the private room and sat down, a little crowded. The waiter brought the tea list, Lin Xiaoqiang and Lan Demon just ordered a cup of tea, and those were also casual, but they were rushing to pay. It is said that this tea is not expensive, I ask me to please. Li Bing glanced at the price out of the corner of his eyes, well, it is indeed not expensive, a cup is only more than a hundred. Bah, this is enough to drink tea for half a month, and it seems that the person who opened the tea party is also a profiteer.
Sit down, let's get down to business. Speaking of business, Lin Xiaoqiang wanted to let Li Bing out. Li Bing took the body, first picked up the tea, pretended to blow it, and then put the teacup down. Guys, what do you call them?
Of these, there are those who hand over business cards, and there are also those who report to their homes. Listen to the accent, that's where people everywhere have. This is not surprising, there were quite a few outsiders who set up stalls in the square yesterday, and it seems that there are not a few people who specialize in eating this bowl of rice. Li Bing took the business card, and there was a short and fat man with a Cantonese accent, and asked, I don't know what to call this Taoist chief and this lady?
Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Poor Jingyun is a monk in this city. This is my named sister, surnamed Lan.
Oh, the two of you are really made in heaven, and those who don't know think you're a couple. I don't think Ms. Lan is a monk either, how can she be the junior sister of the Taoist?
Lan Demon smiled, this smile, several people couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, and the numb feeling came up. Lan Demon said, in fact, my grandfather advocated Taoism in the past, and when I was a child, I was afraid that I would not grow well, so he kowtowed a few times in front of the master, and he was a registered disciple. After listening to the master's lectures for a few years, this monk naturally did not become a monk.
Then it's no wonder, Ms. Lan is so beautiful, and she has practiced Taoism, no wonder she talks well and has an outstanding temperament.
The crowd was complimented again. Li Bing took a look, when do you look at beauties like this? I haven't landed my millions yet. Cough, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, what do you have to say to stop us?
Which Guangdong boss took the lead, Dao Chief, I heard yesterday that you have a great orchid here, and when I looked at the photo, I flew over in a plane overnight. It's worthy of its name, it's the best. As for me, I also like orchids, I wonder if Ms. Lan and the Taoist can cut love?
This one? Li Bing pretended to groan. One of the people next to him asked, Dao Chief, this flower is indeed peculiar, I don't know if it has a name?
Name? What's the name for this. Li Bing had an idea, I took one of this name. When I saw this flower, I knew that it was an extraordinary product, and it was a spring flower, and it could be called the leader, so it was casually called the spring kui.
Let's pick a thumb brother, a good name, a good name, Chunkui, the leader of Chunlan, atmospheric!
Lan Demon glanced at Li Bing and held back his laughter. The heart said, I didn't expect this little old man to act, and there is a nose and eyes. Well, act, act, I'm going to see what you can do.
