Chapter 31: Broken Things!

Lao Zhang said that the last time he invited his friends to eat peaches, everyone responded very well.

Half of the fifty peaches were bought for someone else this time.

There are new orders for peaches every day. They collect money every day. Adding up to a lot, this made Zhang Xu feel energetic.

When Zhang Xu was about to sacrifice a magic needle to make red panties, he heard footsteps coming from the door.

"Zhang Xu, are you at home? I've brought a friend to see you! ”

This is Zhao Ming's voice.

Zhang Xu replied.

"I am."

Walking out the door, he saw Zhao Ming and a balding middle-aged man at the door.

Both of them wore badminton uniforms. The man's head was glistening and his face was red.

The face of a rich man.

Zhao Ming introduced Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, this is Li Xiu."

He just went to my badminton hall to watch the golden Spring Festival. He knows you saved it. He was curious and asked me to bring him here to exchange experiences in orchid conservation.

You didn't work in the orchard this afternoon, did you? Are you free? “

"I'm free. I'll go up again at five o'clock. I'm not gone yet. ”

Zhang Xu looked at the bald middle-aged man and immediately remembered a man named Li Xiu in Zhao Mingqun's chat. He brought up 66666 and said he would come and smell the flowers in person.

The bald man stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhang Xu warmly.

"Zhang Xu, my name is Li Xiu.

Coach Li said you are a fruit tree grower. I didn't expect you to be a good orchid grower.

Let's exchange experiences if it's convenient. “

Zhang Xu smiled slightly.

"Li Xiu, you are serious, I am just a fruit farmer and I don't know anything about orchids.

saved Brother Zhikun's orchid, it was just a fluke. “

Li Xiu waved his hand, a little excited.

"No, no, no, I saw the golden Spring Festival with my own eyes, which is better than what I saw in photos and videos.

In particular, the floral scent is the best orchid scent I've ever smelled.

Zhang Xu, you are too modest. Without careful care, you will never reach such a level of refinement.

In addition, the methods of plant protection are all the same, and you must be top-notch in growing fruit trees.

I do not know. Can I see your orchid growing environment? “

Zhang Xu smiled and said, "I really put it in the backyard." I'll show you around. ”

Zhao Ming shrugged at Li Xiu.

"I didn't lie to you. Here's what he told me. ”

Zhang Xu took them into the courtyard, which was empty except for a wall of cashew trees.

Zhao Ming was immediately attracted by the cashew tree climbing on the wall.

He looked at the beautiful flowers blooming on the cashew branches, took a deep breath of the fragrance in the air, and felt that his whole spirit was lifted.

"This cashew tree is truly magical. It's so good. There are almost no yellowish leaves on such a large wall.

The leaves are green and the flowers are beautiful and fragrant.

The soil in your backyard is fertile enough. “

Zhao Ming said to him: "Li Xiu, you are really delicious." His cashew juice was delicious. ”

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Cashew nut water is very suitable for drinking in this weather, it is very heat-clearing and detoxifying. ”

Zhang Xu smiled slightly.

"Brother Zhikun, you can take Li Xiu around the courtyard. I'll go to the kitchen and get you some cashew water. ”

Zhao Ming drooled and asked Zhang Xu: "Are there peaches and peaches?" I finished eating everything I took from your house that day, so I can get something to eat. ”

Zhang Xu was amused by his greed.

"Just a little bit at home. You can look around and I'll cut some fruit for you to eat. ”

Li Xiu said embarrassedly: "You're welcome, I'll take a look and leave, don't bother." ”

Zhao Ming recommended to him: "Li Xiu, Zhang Xuzhong's fruit is very delicious, and it can't be bought in the general market, so try it." ”

Zhang Xu also smiled and said, "No problem, I want to eat too." ”

Then he went into the kitchen.

Li Xiu and Zhao Ming took a walk in the courtyard. After a while, Zhang Xu took out something.

He found three small benches and tables and put things down.

"Come and have dinner after the tour."

After they sat down, Li Xiu took a sip of cashew water.

After being bitten, his eyes widened.

He stopped and took two or three puffs of praise.

"What a pick-me-up!

This cashew water is consistent with its flowers. Good inside and out. “

He looked at Zhao Ming and said, "Coach Li, in the summer, you can make some cashew nuts to soak in water." After the game, you can drink. Definitely thirsty. ”

Zhao Ming shook his head.

"Cashew nut water clears heat and detoxifies, but I'm not that extravagant. Cashews are not cheap. ”

Li Xiu said: "Things are very good, but naturally they are very expensive. ”

Zhao Ming intends to bring business to Zhang Xu. He looked at Zhang Xu and said to him, "Tell Li Xiu about this cashew nut, how much do you charge?" ”

Zhang Xu smiled slightly.

"I sold a customer 8,000 yuan (1 catty) of freshly picked cashew nuts."

Li Xiuming was surprised. He didn't speak. He took another sip of cashew water, then nodded.

"I think customers who buy cashew nuts from you must be very discerning.

I work in the hospitality industry. I did some research on tea and wine culture.

Zhang Xu, your cashew water is really unique.

I'm going to get a kilogram back. “

The corners of Zhang Xu's mouth rose slightly, and business came again.

Li Xiu is indeed a rich man.

"There are a lot of buds on this branch that can be picked, more than a catty, I will pick them for you in the future."

Zhao Ming's cheeks were stuffed with peaches and peaches.

"Li Xiu, try these fruits, you may think they are delicious.

No worse than cashews. “

Li Xiu nodded, his eyes fell on the cashew nut, and he stuffed a peach in his mouth.

His eyes suddenly widened, and he was surprised.

"This peach is really delicious! It's the best peach I've ever made. ”

As he spoke, he shoved another piece of peach into his mouth.

"This peach tastes great, too!"

Zhao Ming and Zhang Xu watched Li Xiu repeatedly fork the fruit and eat it, and smiled knowingly.

No one can escape this top-notch delicious food.

After Li Xiu finished eating the plate of peaches and peaches, he glanced at Zhang Xu again and changed his eyes.

He joked: "Zhang Xu, these fruits are so delicious, can't they be sold for thousands of yuan a catty?" ”

Zhang Xu smiled.

"Li Xiu, you're really kidding.

I sell peaches for 50 yuan a piece. Most of the peaches are not only sold with worms, but also to fruit chains to make fruit cutting trays. “

Li Xiu nodded again and again.

"50 yuan a peach, the price is reasonable!

I wonder if you can sell me ten? “

Business is coming, and it is impossible not to answer.

"I picked some yesterday and put them in the fridge. I'll eat it with cashews later. ”

Li Xiu finished eating the fruit, drank cashew water, leaned on the back of the chair, and felt very comfortable.

He hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time. When he came to see the environment in which the orchids grow, he didn't expect such an unexpected harvest.

Thinking of orchids, he asked the question in his mind.

"Zhang Xu, I'm curious. What method did you use to bring Coach Lee's Gimcheon back to life? ”

Zhang Xu prepared a set of speeches.

"After taking it back, clean up the rotten roots, take the roots and soil out to dry, and put the roots back in for planting when the wound has healed.

On weekdays, I put it in that place to bask in the sun and rain. I poured a natural fertilizer on a fruit tree that I had specially planted, and it grew like this. “

Li Xiu nodded. Zhang Xu said that this is a normal process of plant protection.

Just now he observed the environment of the backyard, which was just an ordinary farmer's yard.

The environment is quite humid. Flower pots can be exposed to sunlight. Nothing special about the others.

"Zhang Xu, it should be your special natural fertilizer that has played a role. Are the cashews you grow also watered with this fertilizer? ”

Blood is fertilizer, just another word.

Zhang Xu did not lie about this.

"Yes."

Li Xiu's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward, obviously interested.

"Can you sell me some of this fertilizer?"

He feels that the key to Zhang Xu's revival of orchids is natural fertilizer.

"It's just compost made from kitchen waste. Occasionally, I put some bone meal and fish intestines in my compost. Nothing special. ”

It is very common for many people to use their own compost to grow things.

But it's very casual to make something out of it.

The excuses used by Zhang Xu were enough to dispel suspicions about him.

"That's it."

Li Xiu gave up the idea of buying Zhang Xu's special fertilizer.

These fertilizers are not uniformly formulated. If they are brought back to raise orchids, they may burn out and get sick every minute.

Maybe he's wrong. In addition to the nutrient solution, this ordinary yard should have a certain magnetic field and environment, which is suitable for plant growth.

Look at the beautiful cashew nuts on the wall.

He had an idea.

"Some people are naturally gifted in some way. It seems that Zhang Xu is very talented in growing fruit trees, cashew nuts or orchids.

I do not know. Can you do me a favor? “

Zhang Xu said: "Li Xiu, please tell me what you want." ”

Li Xiu said softly.

"Well, two years ago, I got a batch of summer orchids and grew them at home.

Some of them grow poorly due to improper care, some are withered and yellow, and they are dying.

I saw that Jin Yangchun, who was already dead and could no longer die, was rescued by Zhang Xu. I was wondering if I could please help me raise an ugly orchid. “

Zhang Xu asked curiously: "Doesn't the state prohibit the sale of downhill orchids?" ”

As he searched for information, he learned about the field.

He had thought of raising orchids in batches on his own mountain, and the price of orchids was very good.

But when he saw that the business of Shimoyama Orchid was banned by law, he gave up on the idea.

Li Xiu said proudly: "It's very interesting, I received this law in advance. Taiwan, so before the law was enacted, I bought a lot of Xiashan orchids through various channels.

For the sake of these orchids coming down the mountain, I also built an orchid garden at home to maintain them. It can be said that this group of orchids of mine is out of print. “

Even Zhao Ming was surprised.

"Li Xiu, you are awesome. Is this the legendary gambling grass? ”

Li Xiushuang smiled.

"It's true, but more reliable.

You don't have time to grow orchids. You've only recently started growing orchids.

It would be interesting if I took you and me to bet for a few years. “

Zhao Ming shook his head.

"Alas, now is not the time."

Li Xiu looked at Zhang Xu.

"Zhang Xu, I don't know if you can help me?"

To help means to get paid. Zhang Xu was naturally willing.

"Yes, but these orchids will be transported to my house to breed.

I'm not sure if I can support the ugly rhetoric of the future. “

Li Xiu nodded.

"It's natural."

Zhao Xingxing said to the entire floor: "I heard that the orchid garden in Li Xiu's house is very powerful, there are many high-quality products in it, and many people in the group are boasting, how about taking this opportunity to take a look?" ”

Li Xiu smiled a little smugly.

"I just want to invite you to my humble house."

Zhang Xu nodded.

"Then make an appointment."

……

The next morning, Zhang Xu and Zhao Ming came to a single-family villa.

The decoration style of this villa is classical garden style, simple and ancient.

The door slowly opened, and Li Xiu appeared in front of them wearing a robe.

"Coach Li and Zhang Xu, welcome to my humble house."

Led by Li Xiu, they walked along the forest landscape path to the door of a transparent glass house.

There are large and small orchids inside, and several pots are full of flowers.

With a proud expression on his face, Li Xiu said to the two: "This is a digital magnolia garden I built, which uses professional automated cultivation equipment.

Smart sensors are distributed throughout the orchid garden, which can perceive the climate and environment of the orchid garden in real time, and analyze the growth of orchids through big data, irrigation, fertilization, ventilation, cooling, shading and lighting.

My phone has special software that can intelligently adjust the conditions required for orchid growth, so that the orchid is always in the right growing environment.

It can be said that my orchid garden is already the latest technology in the industry.

However, the difference between me and the orchid merchant is that I don't sell orchids, I just raise them for my own appreciation. “

After Zhao Ming entered the orchid garden, his eyes opened wide and bright.

"It's Chunlan Tabby! Phnom Penh Huilan! Even dendrobium! ”！

There are so many wonderful orchids that I don't even recognize. Li Xiu, your orchid garden is priceless. “

Zhang Xu looked at the neatly arranged orchids in the orchid garden, like a neatly arranged army, which was eye-opening.

However, he is much whiter than Zhao Ming (a novice orchid grower). He couldn't tell the kind of orchid. In his eyes, these orchids are all the same.

Zhao Ming said to Li Xiu: "Li Xiu, I heard that you have some famous orchids in the orchid world, do you keep them here?" ”

Li Xiu said: "Orchids here are very common. The few pots of orchids you mentioned are kept in my hotel. As the gem of the town, they are maintained by a dedicated person. ”

Zhao Ming explained to Zhang Xu: "You don't know, Li Xiu has a pot of plain hats and lotus cauldrons, and there are three arts: lotus petals, plain hearts, and leaf shapes. He won a third prize at an orchid show.

Someone offered to buy 15 million yuan from Li Xiuhua, but Li Xiu did not do it. “

Zhang Xu called him a good person.

A pot of orchids is equivalent to a luxury villa. I thought it was a news event, but it happened in front of him.

Li Xiule said: "Coach Li, the Su Guan and Ding pot you mentioned are placed in the lobby of my hotel, which brings a lot of good luck to my business.

This unique orchid cannot be given away. “

Zhang Xu pointed to a corner and said to Li Xiu: "Li Xiu, are those orchids you said you want to raise in the corner?" ”

"Yes, I'll show you."

"Knock..."

There was a knock on the glass door, and a man swaggered in through it.

Zhang Xu fixed his eyes and saw that this person was very familiar. Didn't he know Lao Liu in the nightclub?

Lao Liu is a friend of Li Xu and the owner of the Night Charm Bar.

Lao Liu wondered what the relationship between Lao Liu and Li Xiu was, and shouted to Li Xiu: "Dad, you're here." ”

Li Xiu introduced Zhao Ming and Zhang Xu: "This is my youngest son, Lao Liu. He helped me find someone to set up a digital growing system for our orchard. ”

"Flat passing. This is Coach Li teaching me to play badminton. Coach Lee came from the provincial team at that time and won a lot of championships. ”

Lao Liu looked directly at Zhang Xu, and he recognized Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu is easy to identify. His clothes were exactly the same as those at the bar that night.

"How did you know my father?"

He suddenly realized and said, "You shouldn't have done that from my father, right?" It's really perseverance. ”

Zhang Xu frowned slightly. The world is too small.

To my surprise, Li Xiu is Lao Liu's son. The hotel he mentioned was the Hotel des Nations.

His acquaintance with Li Xiu that night was not pleasant.

Seeing Lao Liu's rudeness, Li Xiu interrupted him unhappily.

"What are you talking about? This is Zhang Xu. I asked him to help me take care of the orchids. ”

Lao Liu's face was a little sarcastic.

"Didn't he plant fruit trees to raise orchids for you?"

Li Xiu was a little surprised.

"How do you know he's a fruit tree? Zhang Xu is also very good at raising orchids. ”

The sneer on Lao Liu's face still did not subside. He said to Li Xiu: "Dad, I have something important to talk to you about alone?" ”

Li Xiu frowned, and said to Zhang Xu and Zhao Ming: "Coach Li, Zhang Xu, you can take a look first, I'll go out for a while and come back soon." ”

Lao Liu and Li Xiu came to the door. Lao Liu said to Li Xiu in the first sentence: "Dad, why are you recruiting people everywhere?"

Your precious orchid is too precious. If someone cares about them, they'll meet big. Troublesome. “

Li Xiu said: "I just want to ask you, how did you know Zhang Xu?" Did you buy his fruit or visit his orchard?

Lao Liu said contemptuously: "Dad, you think too much.

I'm not an agronomist. What can I do in those places.

He's a friend of a friend of mine. He came to my bar the other night.

This man is rustic and irrational. He's still making trouble at my bar.

Do you really believe that these ignorant people serve your precious orchids?

What's more, if he asks you to help him investigate the surveillance of hotel guests, you must not agree with him, and you don't know what he wants.

I invited the national cattle farmer you asked me to hire last time. What is the use of such an amateur? “

"You really invited me, kid. It wasn't easy for Master Zhao to invite me," Li Xiu said in surprise. "I want to ask that guy to take care of all the orchids I can't keep well.

In this case, I will give him some dead mediocre grass and stupid grass, which is his ability to save lives. “

He stared at Lao Liu vigilantly.

"If you suddenly come home to me, you won't just tell me about it. What are you looking for? ”

Lao Liu smiled and said, "Dad, look at what you said, can't I go home to see you often?" Eat with you and mom and enjoy our family. ”
