The flower market of the capital is really much bigger than Youzhou, it is also more lively, it is the chrysanthemum blooming season again, the guests come and go in an endless stream, probably the chrysanthemum of Bianjing has formed a certain scale, the price is not high, there are a lot of small citizens who buy flowers, they all buy one or two pots, carry them on the body with a basket, the bright flowers reflect on the faces of the young or the old, it seems to be incomparably harmonious and beautiful, quite a bit of the appearance of the flower market in later generations.

It's just that the variety of this flower is not a little worse than that of later generations.

Not to mention anything else, that is, the chrysanthemums that are popular in the streets and alleys at the moment are limited to "true chrysanthemums", that is, those with purple stems and fragrant and sweet tastes, and those with green stems and artemisia are bitter and unbearable to enter as "wild chrysanthemums".

This classification method is divided by a Taoist priest named Tao Hongjing in the Wuliang period, he is not only a Taoist priest, but also a Taoist thinker, a medical scientist, an alchemist, a writer, a wide range of hobbies, and a lot of works, which was very famous at the time, belonged to the representative of the Maoshan faction, that is the existence of a fairy, it is said that the emperor always wanted to ask him to go out of the mountain to help but could not, known as "the prime minister of the mountain".

His contribution to ancient medical chemistry was significant, but his classification of chrysanthemums limited the development of chrysanthemum varieties. You know, in ancient times, raising flowers and planting grass was the leisure and leisure of rich families, and their aesthetics and hobbies largely determined the direction of flower farmers' efforts, but at the same time, they also limited the development and creativity of flower farmers. Don't you see that the traditional famous flowers are all perennial flowers? The grass flower is not eye-catching at all, like the popular impatiens among the people, the literati can't look down on it, and they give it the nickname of "Ju Yu", I really don't know that people have provoked him.

But then again, it's good to have fewer varieties, and only when there are fewer varieties can there be room to play, right? And think about it, if a famous product is cultivated from her hands and then named her big name, then won't she have to leave her name for eternity? It's beautiful when you think about it.

Yunxi and his party walked from house to house, but they didn't buy much, only bought a few daffodil balls, no way, who told her that her house itself had more flowers.

When he was a little tired of walking, Yunxi finally found something special, a young man set up a stall on the side of the street, the boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, born white and pure, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and he looked like a little boy who was not in the world.

There are few things on this stall, only four pots of cactus, and two pots of flowers, the potted flowers are very high, about the same size as her, the stalks are thick, the leaves are thick, but this flower, one red and one yellow, looks good, but the few are pitiful and pitiful, very unattractive, plus the long thorny cactus, there are a lot of people who watch the excitement, but the people who buy it, there is no one, most of them ask two words and shake their heads and walk away.

Seeing Yunxi and his party passing, the young man smiled very shyly and did not speak.

"This thing is rare, how can you sell it?"

The young man smiled shyly again, and replied, "This is a cactus, one pot and two taels of silver, and these two pots are called ...... It's called 'Beauty Chrysanthemum', a pot of one or two silver. ”

Yunxi looked up at him in surprise, this young man is shy, and he is not shy to ask for a price! A pot of dahlias with few flowers and bones he dared to ask for a tael of silver, no wonder passers-by shook their heads and walked away, originally she thought that no one knew it, it turned out that the asking price was too high, a penny a bun two pennies a big bowl of porridge in ancient times, a tael of silver is enough for a small family to live for a month! How could anyone buy it at such a high price.

"You're too expensive, aren't you? One or two silver is enough for me to buy a pot of 'Zhuangyuan Red', and I also buy your 'Beauty Chrysanthemum', the name is good, but this beauty is a little ugly, so thick and like a fire-burning woman. ”

Before waiting for Yunxi to bargain, the back of the circle shouted, these days she was pulled by Sister Jing to visit a lot of places, the price of flowers in the capital has been very well understood, she said 'champion red' is the most popular peony variety in Beijing, with huge flowers, thick color is famous, belongs to the public but in short supply of varieties.

"No...... No counteroffer. The young man's face turned red when he heard this, but he was still very insistent on the price.

If you don't fall, you won't fall, it's rare to meet, Yunxi took out ten taels of silver tickets from his purse, "Give you money, I want all of this." ”

"Sister Xi, it's too expensive." Yuan Yuan pulled Yunxi's sleeve and whispered, "It's a bargain." ”

"Buy a rarity." Yunxi smiled and spread his arms and handed the silver ticket to the young man.

"Thank you." The young man took the silver ticket, looked at it and loaded it, bent down to pick up the flowers, "Little sister, is this car your family?" ”

Yunxi nodded, and the young man began to move the flowers, Ye Yuan saw that Yunxi had bought it, parked the car, and also came over to help.

"This is too expensive, if you let the eldest lady know, I will definitely talk about you." Yuan Yuan was worried about the price, "Ten taels of silver, enough to buy a cart of grain." ”

This girl, really nagging, Yunxi had to explain in a low voice: "This person is not specialized in selling flowers, you look at his clothes, they look old but the materials are excellent, presumably they came out to sell flowers when they had difficulties at home, and they can help if they can, not to mention that I like those thorny flowers." ”

"So be it, not next time." Looking at the flower pots that were loaded into the carriage in a blink of an eye, Yuanyuan had to shut up helplessly.

"The second sister is just good-hearted!" Xiaocao complimented.

Yunxi: "I really like it. ”

Xiaocao doesn't know each other, can she still not know each other? Although the four pots of cactus balls are not good because of improper maintenance, Yunxi saw that there were two pots that should be dragon king balls, or one left and one right, and the remaining two should be ordinary grass balls, but ordinary ones are also in the later life, which is really not ordinary here, let alone two taels, even if this young man wants ten taels and one pots, she also wants to buy them. There are also those two pots of flowers, which are clearly dahlias, and although the "beauty chrysanthemum" was improvised by a teenager, it is similar to its later name.

Moreover, these two are flowers native to Mexico, and they have crossed the ocean to Middle-earth, and it is understandable that the price will rise. Presumably, the young man's family had been overseas and brought these back. Thinking of this, Yunxi hurriedly said to the young man: "Little brother, do you still have these two kinds of flowers in your family?" I'd like to buy it if I have it. ”

"Yes...... Oh no, no...... Without. The boy replied incoherently, his face flushing again.

Is there any? Yunxi was unwilling, and continued to ask: "No, then what ......is your flower?"

"Little sister, that ...... Good bye. ”

Yunxi didn't say anything, and the little boy interrupted her flowers, hurriedly gave a salute and turned to leave.

"Hey, don't go!" I'm not done yet!

Who knew that it was okay not to shout, but as soon as he shouted, the young man ran away, and there were many people on the street, and the kung fu man disappeared in a few seconds.

Yunxi: "......"

Is she a Flood Beast? It's obviously a stupid person and a money-rich owner, okay?

"I'm afraid you'll regret it." Yuanyuan concluded at a glance.

"Definitely." Xiaocao also said.

Ye Yuan was also kind and comforted, "It's worth it if you like it, I see that this flower grows quite fat, but the leaves are also good, and the thorny one is also very special, and it is rare and expensive, so you should buy a rare one." ”

Yunxi was dumbfounded, it is estimated that in the hearts of Ye Yuan and these two girls, they have already regarded her as a fool, but they are just ...... Yunxi thought depressedly: You don't understand this girl's mood.
