Chapter 337: Koi and Plum Trees
In the blink of an eye, it was September 23, another Sunday.
Liu Xinyu has been a little free recently, and there is nothing to do on this day, so he plans to go to the flower and bird market with Liu Xinjian.
That day, I heard that the pond in the courtyard was a child-mother pond, and the sister and brother went to the next day to carefully look around the pond, and it was indeed a child-mother pond.
The sub-pond where you can raise ornamental fish such as koi fish is small but very meaningful.
There is even a small pavilion by the pool that can be surrounded by curtains.
This small pavilion was already in the scope of repair, Liu Xinyu didn't pay much attention to it before, but when she looked at it again this time, she had a new idea.
Trim this little pavilion and hang tulle all around it, and the breeze blows through it poetically
In the summer, you can enjoy the shade and fish in the pavilion.
In autumn and winter, you can make tea around the stove in the pavilion, which is another kind of fun.
If you can find a few old plum trees to plant by the pool, when the winter snow comes, the red plum blossoms, sitting in the pavilion while drinking tea while enjoying the snow and plum blossoms, how pleasant it would be.
Liu Xinyu suddenly felt that she seemed to have a petty bourgeois mood.
This kind of mood is a fantasy in the Xinyu period but has not been able to realize, now that there are such conditions, and there is no need to work as hard as Xinyu, then why not live a more emotional life?
So there was no need for Liu Xinjian to remind him, Liu Xinyu arranged it himself.
Zhang Hongliang and Fang Qia did not return to the courtyard until Saturday night, and learned that Liu Xinyu planned to go to the flower and bird market the next day, so they wanted to go with them.
All four of them had bicycles, and after breakfast, they brought two plastic buckets, got on their bicycles and happily went straight to the flower and bird market.
Fang Qia is very talented in reading, and he also spent two years on the streets before going to college, and he is very familiar with the flower and bird market in the capital.
After parking the bicycle at the bicycle parking lot outside the market and carefully collecting the parking tickets, Fang Qia pointed to the flower and bird market and said proudly: "Let me tell you, although the flower and bird market here is not the largest market in Beijing, it is the market with the most complete variety. By the way, you only buy koi and turtles today? Do you want to buy some flowers and decorate them? ”
Liu Xinyu thought for a while and said, "I want to buy a few old plum trees, but I don't know if there are any here?" ”
Fang Qia glanced at Liu Xinyu: "If there is no here, there will be no other places." However, some old plum trees are not easy to find, and even if there are them, the price is not low. By the way, what do you buy old plum trunks? ”
Liu Xinyu smiled and didn't speak.
Zhang Hongliang glanced at Fang Qia, gently pushed him and said, "What does Xinyu want to buy, you just take her to find it, where is there so much nonsense." ”
Yesterday, when I heard Liu Xinjian mention the child-mother pool, I was laughed hard by Fang Qia, which made Liu Xinjian very unhappy, and Zhang Hongliang was also a little unhappy.
After all, he also knew that it was a child-mother pool under Fang Qia's guidance, and Fang Qia laughed at Liu Xinjian, didn't he even laugh with him?
Maybe Fang Qia even laughed a little with Liu Xinyu in his heart!
He can laugh at him, laugh at Liu Xinyu, but he can't bear it.
If this continues, do you want to do it?!
Although Fang Qia didn't know what Zhang Hongliang was thinking, he also knew that Zhang Hongliang didn't like him to be so casual with Liu Xinyu, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, and his face became more serious.
There are not many vendors selling koi fish and turtles in the flower and bird market, and most of them are concentrated in the corners of the market.
Liu Xinyu didn't understand the quality of koi species, but fortunately, Fang Qia knew a little bit, and when he was bargaining, an unexpected figure appeared, who happened to be a knowledgeable person.
This person is Xiao Zhengqing, who was called a loser by Liu Xinyu, so a few people who don't know how to do it or don't know much about it bought good koi fish and turtles.
What makes Liu Xinyu happiest is that Xiao Zhengqing not only understands how to bargain for fish, but also has news of the old plum tree.
Fang Qia accompanied Liu Xinjian to send the koi and turtle home, while Zhang Hongliang accompanied Liu Xinyu and Xiao Zhengqing to the botanical garden.
At this time, although the botanical garden also had several good parks, it was far from the time to set up a special plum garden.
Xiao Zhengqing seemed to be very familiar with the botanical garden, and took Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang not to the main entrance, but knocked on a small door and directly led the two into the botanical garden.
Of course, they didn't have the heart to visit the botanical garden, Xiao Zhengqing took the two of them directly to a greenhouse for raising flowers.
Although the capital at the end of September is already relatively cool, it is not yet the time to use the greenhouse, but there are many varieties of flowers in the shed, which can really be regarded as very lively.
"The flowers here are specially prepared for the National Day, how about it, it's very good!" Xiao Zhengqing's finger pointed casually in the greenhouse, and said proudly.
Xiao Zhengqing's tone surprised Liu Xinyu, flowers were not cultivated by him, what is there to be proud of!
When a young girl appeared in front of them, Liu Xinyu finally understood why Xiao Zhengqing was so proud.
Although I haven't seen each other for six or seven years, Liu Xinyu still remembers this girl, she is Xiao Zhengqing's stepdaughter, what is Xiao...... By the way, it's called Xiao Min.
Although Liu Xinyu had heard that Xiao Zhengqing had paid Xiao Min to find a formal job, he did not know that Xiao Min's job was to work as a flower nurse in the botanical garden.
"What are you doing today?" Xiao Min swept Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang, but did not recognize Liu Xinyu, and stared at Xiao Zhengqing in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Zhengqing was not unhappy because of Xiao Min's bad attitude, he was still elated, pointed at Liu Xinyu and said, "Do you remember her?" You even had a fight with her back then! ”
Liu Xinyu looked at Xiao Zhengqing a little speechlessly, could they be considered quarreling that day? I don't think so!
"Hello, we did have two quarrels before, and in front of the courtyard in Changchun Lane, we can't talk about quarrels." Liu Xinyu greeted Xiao Min with a smile.
Xiao Min looked at Liu Xinyu seriously, probably remembered, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "At that time, I just arrived in the capital, and I didn't know how thick the sky was. ”
"I came today to buy a few plum trees, preferably the old plum trees, I don't know if Comrade Xiao has such resources." Xiao Min looked very busy, Liu Xinyu didn't want to bother too much, and came straight to the point.
It's really good, the botanical garden is planning to deal with a batch of plum trees, all of which are fifty or sixty years old or even older, but Liu Xinyu is very happy, the older the old plum trees, the more valuable they are, it is not that they know why the botanical garden wants to deal with these old plum trees.
Whatever the reason, it's good to have, and as many as you want.
The price of the botanical garden is very conscientious, and there is even a little cabbage price, Liu Xinyu bought more than ten plum trees without saying a word.
However, Liu Xinyu also put forward his own requirements, when digging plum trees, they must be dug together with the soil, and the roots must not be injured when transporting.
Of course, the person in charge of the botanical garden agreed to it, if it wasn't for the need to make room for the peach orchard, who would be willing to dig up the plum trees?
Liu Xinyu left the address, and the botanical garden will deliver the plum tree to the door within two days.
So the koi and the plum tree came alive together!
