Chapter 69: Promise!
Chapter 69: Promise!
Wang Jie said: "I'm so excited, how about this?"
I'll arrange for a car to take you and Wyvern to my house.
By the way, please come and visit my bonsai garden and please eat the specialties of my hometown. “
Zhang Xu thought for a while.
"I recently wanted to sell fruit, I can go for up to two days and then come back."
Wang Jie said: "If you can catch up, as long as you don't feel tired, it is only five or six hundred kilometers from you to my house, and it is only ten hours back and forth." ”
Zhang Xu agreed.
On this day, early in the morning, a small truck came to Zhang Xu's home.
Wang Jie invited the pickup truck to take Zhang Xu and Ge Mei to his house.
The driver carefully placed the bird plum in the rear compartment. Zhang Xu sat in the passenger seat and left for Minzhou.
Zhang Xu has seen the map. Wang Jie from Minzhou is more than 600 kilometers away from his home. If there is no traffic jam, he can get there in about six hours.
The driver is a warm Minzhou native who speaks Mandarin with a Minzhou accent.
"Brother, our Bailai County is the largest bonsai flower production base in the whole Fujian Province, and it is well-known throughout the country.
There are more than 3,000 acres of bonsai area alone, and there are more than 1,000 varieties of flower seedlings.
China's largest bonsai flower exhibition was held in our county.
If you go for a long time, you can visit more.
Wang Jie, who is known for his high-end bonsai.
Wang Jie is known for his generosity and talkativeness. I have worked with him for many years, moving goods for him everywhere. “
The driver told Zhang Xu a lot about their hometown all the way, and his words were full of pride.
Zhang Xu listened quietly, occasionally giving him some responses.
However, most of Zhang Xu's journey was spent in sleep.
There are no traffic jams on the road. Before noon, Zhang Xu came to Bailai County.
They are all parterre bonsai gardens with a wide variety of bonsai flowers. Zhang Xuguang looked at the road and felt that he had seen a complete flower exhibition.
The driver took him to a bustling area and stopped in front of a quaint building.
Zhang Xu saw that the building was surrounded by walls, and the words "Expo Park" were written on the building above the gate.
The driver said to Zhang Xu: "This is the Expo Park, Wang Jie's home."
Expo Park is famous in this area. Wang Jie has been in business for more than 30 years.
There are a lot of potted plants with a high price tag, and they have won many awards.
Some of my relatives are working for Wang Jie. “
Zhang Xu looked at the map on his phone, and his brows raised slightly.
"This is Baijia Village, so you all have the surname Bai?"
The driver seemed to know what Zhang Xu was going to say. He smiled and said, "Are you surprised that Wang Jie's surname is Bai?" Is his full name Bai Wangjie? ”
Zhang Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the driver say what he thought.
"I thought Wang Jie was Luo."
The driver blinked: "His full name is really Bai Wangjie, and his mother's surname is Luo."
The full name is Bai Wangjie, and the white radish is also called cabbage head in our place.
Therefore, when he grew up, he was named Cabbage Head.
But after he made his business colorful, many locals rarely called him by the name of the flower because he didn't like it to be called that.
He always said his name was Wang Jie. When many guests come here, they often think that his surname is Luo Mingbo.
But very little can be guessed. You are one of the few. “
Zhang Xu couldn't help but laugh.
I didn't expect such a hint.
The driver lowered his voice and said to Zhang Xu: "Don't tell me I told you about this, it's good that you know this in your heart."
I was worried that it would be embarrassing for you to accidentally ask him for his last name, so I told you. “
Zhang Xu smiled and nodded.
"I know."
The car drove in and stopped in a circular square.
Wang Jie seems to have known the news for a long time. Hearing the sound of a car, he got out of the house and waved at it.
When he looked at Wang Jie's face, Zhang Xu remembered his nickname, but he still couldn't hold back a smile.
After getting out of the car, Wang Jie said to Zhang Xu enthusiastically: "Zhang Xu, welcome to my humble house."
It's been a long road and a hard job.
Later it will be lunchtime. Let's eat at my house.
My wife made some home cooking. They taste great.
If you don't feel tired after eating, I'll show you around.
Master Zhao will also arrive later. The jar of Immortal Pointing Eyebrows he kept for me last time also survived. However, he won't be able to arrive until dinner time.
By the way, Xiaohu heard that you came to me. He came by plane. I guess he'll be there tonight too. “
Zhang Xu was surprised to hear that so many acquaintances had come.
Master Zhao is here. He could understand why Fang Wei came to him?
Although he was not averse to the other party, he had a feeling in his heart that his purpose was not too simple.
Thinking about what he had, Wang Jie walked to the back carriage and went to see the flying dragon with the driver.
He couldn't wait to see it.
When he saw the pot of flying dragons in the sky, his eyes were bigger than the bronze bell, and his face was full of surprise.
"Real objects are more visually striking than what you see in the photos!
Really, I'm not kidding.
It's even more beautiful than I was at my best. Each leaf is not really green, and the shape is perfect.
The branches became more vigorous, there was a sense of vicissitudes, and the overall momentum came out.
Oddly enough, this pot of bromate has been running with you for more than six hours and is still full of energy.
Zhang Xu, don't be modest. You really have the gift of saving plants. “
Zhang Xu smiled slightly.
"Luck.
I didn't expect to be fed so quickly. “
Wang Jie did not continue the discussion. This process is not very important. What he wants is results.
"I really want to thank you. Without you, the time and energy I spent on Wyverns would have been wasted.
He suddenly approached Zhang Xu's ear and whispered to him.
"Send me the account later, and I'll give you a million."
Zhang Xu was stunned.
He remembered that Wang Jie had said that his pot of flying dragons was in the sky. Someone bought it for five million dollars, but he was reluctant to sell it.
This potted plant is worth at least 5 million yuan, but it is worthless in the eyes of the illiterate.
He felt that if Wang Jie kept the potted plants, it would be good if he could give him 180,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jie gave him one million, which is not a small number.
If Wang Jie didn't sell this bonsai, he would say that it was very valuable and valuable. He would say that it was neither worth anything nor worth anything. The remuneration depends on Wang Jie.
The amount of compensation was more generous than Zhang Xu imagined.
Wang Jie is really generous.
Wang Jie added.
"I gave Master Zhao a pot of immortal instructions, and because of the difficulty, I only gave them 100,000. You'll bring the dragon back to life, which is more valuable. “
Zhang Xu smiled with satisfaction. He just looks at things from his own standpoint.
For him, it's just a little bit of blood.
For Wang Jie, he didn't want to lose his beloved bonsai.
It's hard for a daughter to buy love. The price is not too high.
He smiled and said to Wang Jie: "I have a word here. In the next three years, if there are any problems with it, I will maintain it for free. ”
Zhang Xu pays the most attention to service in business, and after-sales is the most important part.
Wang Jie smiled happily.
"After that, Feilong's after-sales service will depend on you."
He looked at the wyvern in the sky again, his eyes still amazed.
"Put the dragon where it should be in the sky, and then we'll have lunch."
Zhang Xu followed Wang Jie into the room.
When he came to the restaurant, Zhang Xu saw that there was already a pot of soup on the table.
Wang Jie rushed to the kitchen and said affectionately: "Ah Xia! ”
The kitchen makes a "hey" sound. Soon, a beautiful figure came out of the kitchen. This is a middle-aged beauty that is a sight to behold.
Although she is dressed modestly, she can make people feel the scent of books emanating from her, and her temperament is extremely elegant.
The middle-aged beauty greeted Zhang Xu with a smile.
"You are Zhang Xu, younger and more handsome than I thought.
Sit down first, I can cook a dish for dinner. “
Wang Jie said to Zhang Xu: "This is my wife. She has hobbies. In addition to cooking, she occasionally writes calligraphy and paints Chinese paintings.
I learned a lot about the artistic conception of bonsai from her. “
The middle-aged beauty smiled.
"Don't listen to him, I can't do it.
However, that pot of wyverns in the sky is one of my favorite works.
Thank you for your help, otherwise it would have been a shame. “
Zhang Xu smiled slightly. He saw some trophies in the glass window of the living room, belonging to Wang Jie and his wife, who were leaders in their respective fields.
"You're welcome, Mrs. Luo. It's a piece of cake. ”
The middle-aged beauty looked at Zhang Xu and said, "You are about the same age as my son, just call me Zhang Mei." ”
Zhang Xu said kindly: "Zhang Mei." ”
He had never met his mother, but he could feel his mother's love from Zhang Mei.
Her son must be happy.
Zhang Mei turned around and went in to take out the food. Soon, the table was piled with food.
"It was just the three of us who ate and I made six courses, five courses and a soup.
I heard you're from a mountain town. I specially prepared the most characteristic snacks in our Minzhou. I hope they are to your taste. “
Wang Jie introduced to Zhang Xu: "This is oyster stir-fry, this is salt chicken, this is five-spice stir-fry, this is coli sauerkraut hot pot, and dried bamboo shoots and jelly." The soup is five-fingered peach soup. ”
Zhang Xu looked at the dishes and couldn't help but exclaim: "Each dish requires a lot of processes, Zhang Mei, you have patience." ”
Like him, it's convenient to eat every day.
Zhang Mei smiled.
"I have nothing to do at home, so I'll look into this.
You can eat more if you like. My son is studying abroad, and Wang Jie always eats at home. He's tired of eating. “
Wang Jie muttered, "I never said I was tired of eating. I will never get tired of eating for the rest of my life. ”
"Let's talk about it."
Aunt Xia glanced at her coquettishly. Wang Jie smiled and didn't say anything.
Zhang Xu looked at the loving couple and felt a burst of envy.
Their parents shouldn't be like that. They will abandon him only when the relationship breaks down or if a child is born out of wedlock.
Since he was a child, he couldn't see such a scene, and there was always some inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Zhang Xu ate all these famous Minzhou snacks on the table with great relish.
In short, it's better than he wants to do on his own.
After eating, Zhang Mei said to them, "You should drink more soup, and I'll buy some fruit to eat."
This fruit was given by a friend of mine. She said it was hard for her to buy in a hurry, and she said it was delicious. “
Soon after, she took out a plate of fruits, peaches, lychees, and three lychees.
When he saw these three things, Wang Jie couldn't help but be stunned, and if he felt something, he looked at Zhang Xu.
Zhang Mei praised: "My girlfriend didn't lie to me. These three fruits smell good. They are prettier than the ones I bought at the boutique fruit store and have a good appetite. ”
Wang Jie smiled and asked, "Did your friend buy fruit directly from the fruit farmer in terms of prestige, and is the fruit farmer from the mountain city?" ”
Zhang Mei was a little surprised.
"How do you know?"
Wang Jie looked at Zhang Xu and said to Zhang Mei: "That's because the fruit farmers are in our house."
Didn't I tell you that Zhang Xu planted an orchard? “
Zhang Mei suddenly realized.
"I knew he planted orchards, but I didn't know he planted fruits.
Why didn't you tell me something so important? “
Hearing his wife's reproachful tone, Wang Jie scratched his head and hurriedly explained.
"A few days ago, you went out to give a lecture on Chinese painting, and I don't have time to tell you so carefully.
Last time, when a group of our orchid friends held a flower exhibition in the mountain city, the fruit we ate in Shijian Private Dining Room was Zhang Xuzhong's.
I also knew at the time that Zhang Xuzong's fruit was so delicious. I was very impressed with the peaches and lychees I ate at the time. I knew it as soon as I smelled it. ”
Zhang Mei suddenly realized, and then said, "Zhang Xu, come here." Why don't you ask the driver to buy some from Zhang Xu? ”
Rob sighed.
This is because Zhang Xu has recently sold out all the ripe fruits.
Some are not mature enough to hang on a branch, and I have ordered them in advance. “
Listening to Wang Jie's complaining tone, Zhang Xu said: "There will be a batch of fruits to pick in two days, and they will be delivered then." ”
Too many people are booking with him these days. It wasn't Wang Jie who reminded him that Zhang Xu forgot about it.
Zhang Mei looked at the fruit on the plate, her eyes lit up slightly.
"Let me taste it."
Zhang Mei's eyes lit up when she bit a peach.
"It's delicious!"
Next, she didn't have time to speak, and her elegant temperament was all thrown into the sky. She instantly became a foodie with juice in her mouth.
After eating her portion, she looked at Wang Jie, her eyes full of longing.
Wang Jie handed her a tissue to wipe her mouth, swallowed, and said helplessly: "You can eat my share, I have eaten it once before." ”
"You're welcome."
Zhang Mei ate Wang Jie's share, looked at Zhang Xu, and her face was still full of meaning.
Of course, Zhang Xu understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "Zhang Mei, I often eat at home, you're welcome." ”
Zhang Mei smiled apologetically.
"Then I'm sorry."
Wang Jie set up a stall in front of Zhang Xu, saying that he was helpless to have such a greedy wife.
Zhang Mei ate all the fruits on the plate, and she didn't even miss the juice on the plate. She licked it completely.
Finally, he realized his gaffe, so he wiped his mouth gracefully, feeling shy.
She had never been so rude in front of first-time guests.
This fruit is so delicious.
Zhang Xu is no longer surprised by this phenomenon.
Wang Jie said to Zhang Mei: "Ah Xia, did you ask your friend how many lychees he bought?" ”
Zhang Mei said: "She said that all the fruits are 50 yuan a piece. ”
Wang Jie raised his eyebrows proudly.
"In addition to fifty yuan a piece, there is also a more delicious lychee king. I bought three, five hundred dollars each.
Not everyone can buy it.
Then you can blow it in front of her. “
Zhang Mei smiled like a flower.
"Then I'll see."
Zhang Mei looked at Zhang Xu and said proudly: "The next time I see my best friend, I must show off to her." I invited the owner of the delicious fruit to come to my house for dinner. She must have been envious. ”
Seeing that Zhang Xu didn't seem to understand, she added a few words.
"You don't know. My friend said that your fruit is now the focus of our Minzhou lady's discussion.
They say that after eating these fruits, the beauty results are good and there are fewer beauty salons. “
Wang Jie said, "Then you should quickly increase Zhang Xu's prestige, buy with your membership, and accumulate points to upgrade in advance, so that you can buy more." ”
Zhang Xu smiled.
"It's okay, I brought Zhang Mei into the VIP customer base and bought more.
But we should start sooner, sometimes the numbers really aren't much. “
Zhang Mei was pleasantly surprised.
"Great!
My friend said that she is just a regular member and it can take up to two years to upgrade her VIP client. If I told her about it, she would definitely envy me again. “
Wang Jiexiao said: "You have to thank Zhang Xu, I am still an ordinary member. ”
Zhang Mei is very proud.
"It's nice to have a VIP member in our family.
I'm a VIP member, which means my character is better than yours. “
Wang Jie said to Zhang Xu helplessly: "Look, this is my family status. ”
Watching the middle-aged couple show affection in front of him, Zhang Xu felt that his dog food was enough.
After eating and drinking, Wang Jie took Zhang Xu to the Expo Park.
The Expo Garden is an architectural style that combines a private courtyard and a South Garden. The round arches create a sense of hierarchy in the landscape and the design is very exquisite.
Most of the bonsai are unique and elegant, and most are rare trees combined with stone landscapes, which seem to tell an unusual story.
When Zhang Xu walked in the middle, he felt peace of mind. As he looked at every leaf and every leaf, the sensation intensified.
Wang Jie's eyes were bright, as if he had seen countless treasures.
He introduced to Zhang Xu: "I think bonsai should abandon some rules, get rid of patterns, and be more in line with the laws of natural growth of trees.
And not to pursue some kind of morbid beauty excessively.
As a result, most of my bonsai retain their wild beauty, and only a few, such as the Flying Dragon and the Immortal Guide, will give them some guidance.
Some were abandoned.
Like this boxwood, I've been preserving it for almost a decade.
When I brought it, it was just a dead tree. Most of its branches were broken and dying.
If I keep it, it will come back to life.
I kept some of the original dead trees and added some stones to create the view, which created a new mood.
I told you last time that someone wanted to buy a flying dragon with me for 5 million yuan, but I didn't sell it.
One is because it's my favorite, and the other is because buyers come here for the hype of collecting.
If measured by the market economic value, it is difficult to cultivate a really good bonsai.
