Phi-Fic Chapter 126 Seed
Chapter 126 Seed
Glass greenhouses are not as rare as plastic ones, but they are more expensive to build, so the flowers and plants inside are superior.
However, this glass shed is relatively small. Qin Feixue took a rough look and found that it was only about a hundred square meters, but there were many kinds of flowers inside.
She also said that there were people she knew and people she didn’t know.
The old man led the two of them to the center of the greenhouse, where there was a big green tree. Under the tree were a circle of small wooden tables, on which were placed flowers of various colors, which were roses.
"This is the most famous rose in our nursery. Last year, we even hybridized it into a rose of different colors, but it didn't work this year."
The old man showed off by picking up the album beside him, flipping it open and handing it to Qin Feixue: "This is when the heterochromatic roses bloom. At most, we have hybridized five colors!"
Qin Feixue's eyes lit up. Originally, she thought that she was tired of seeing these roses of different colors and there was nothing new about them.
But she likes the colorful one in this booklet.
"Why can't I see this strange color? How much is it for?" Qin Feixue pointed at the picture in the album.
"This one is on display, not for sale!"
Qin Feixue: ...Then why are you so eager to show me? Are you showing off?
The old man added: "But the others are sold for 100 yuan a pot, and you can get a discount if you buy more!"
Qin Feixue's eyes twitched. At one hundred yuan per pot, it was certain that she could afford it.
Yes, but there is no need. She doesn’t want to be taken advantage of such an ordinary pot of roses.
"I just want this pot. Do you have this kind of hybrid seeds?"
The old man looked at her again and said, "Yes, fifty cents each."
"Then give me some of this seed, thank you."
After hearing this, the old man turned around and left without saying anything. Qin Feixue also wanted to follow him, but suddenly a strange floral scent drifted into her mind.
It is fresh and elegant, just like a gesang flower in summer, giving people a soothing feeling that makes people unable to stop.
She immediately turned her head and fixed her eyes on a pot of orchid in the corner.
The leaves of the flower were wilted and limp, as if they were about to die.
"How much is this pot?" Qin Feixue asked, pointing at the orchid.
The old man took a look and his expression darkened. "It was a Mr. Xu who entrusted this flower to me and asked me to revive it. He insisted on raising it even though he didn't know how to do it. He also said that the fragrance of the flower could cure headaches. I have been raising flowers all my life and I have never seen a flower that can cure headaches."
Shen Xingzhou frowned after hearing this. He did know someone who used the fragrance of flowers to treat headaches.
Xu Qi from the Xu family.
Qin Feixue discovered something unusual. Could there be such a coincidence? She asked tentatively, "Xu family?"
Shen Xingzhou nodded: "Xu Qi."
It turned out that he was the mastermind behind all this. Qin Feixue said nothing and followed the old man out of the glass room.
After they left, the orchid in the corner wilted completely at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if a god came, it would not be able to save it.
The old man took them to another room specifically used for seeds.
Generally, few people come here. This flower is not a wild flower or weed. If you just scatter the seeds, it will take root and sprout on its own and live well.
From the moment the seeds are planted, this flower needs to be carefully observed and the indoor temperature and humidity of the seeds must be maintained.
Even if some people take good care of the seeds and they germinate, they may not be able to grow flowers in the end.
If flowers could be grown so easily, there would be no need for flower markets. People would just buy seeds and grow them at home.
Shen Xingzhou also pulled his wife in surprise. He was used to seeing her spending money lavishly, and he was a little uncomfortable when she suddenly asked to buy seeds for fifty cents each.
Although it is really unnecessary to spend a hundred yuan for a pot of flowers, if she likes it, it is not impossible to buy it. But judging from the expression on my wife's face just now, it seems that she doesn't like it.
She liked the pot of colorful roses, but the old man wouldn't sell it to her.
Shen Xingzhou raised his eyebrows. Could it be that his wife wanted to adjust and grow the heterochromatic rose? That would be incredible.
Qin Feixue looked at her and smiled. Yes, that’s right, she wanted to grow it herself!
Maybe she can grow seven colors, how cool!
There are also other rare colored roses. Ordinary roses cost one hundred yuan a pot, so her colorful roses must sell for at least five hundred yuan!
Isn't that more profitable than making tofu?
The old man was standing in front of a shelf with bags of seeds labeled on them.
He picked up a bag of seeds with a wild rose label on it and took out a handful at random: "Will a hundred seeds be enough?"
Qin Feixue nodded: "Enough is enough."
Rose seeds are only the size of sesame seeds. It is impossible to count such small seeds one by one, so it is just an approximate number. However, the number the old man just grabbed must be more than 100, probably about to more.
He handed the packaged seeds to Qin Feixue: "50 yuan."
Qin Feixue took the seeds and looked at the bags of seeds on the shelf but didn't want to leave.
"Master, can you sell me some other seeds? I want flowers like peonies and daffodils."
The old man glanced and got angry. This girl didn't seem like a serious flower grower. She just acted like she was joking.
"Not for sale!" the old man simply refused.
"So do you guys collect flowers?" Qin Feixue asked again.
"We only buy and don't sell." The old man refused again.
Qin Feixue was immediately disappointed. She had been thinking of selling the fruits she grew here, thinking she had found a way to make a fortune, but it turned out that the road was blocked.
Oh, these closed days are so difficult. I can’t sell anything and can’t make any money.
It is true that five pecks of rice can make a hero fail.
"Although we don't accept them, if you have any, you can leave them with me and then you can negotiate with the right seller yourself." The old man opened up another way for her to make money.
Selling on behalf of others? Qin Feixue's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Master."
"But the flowers must be of good quality, ordinary ones won't do!"
He has been raising flowers all his life and loves them like crazy. When he hears that someone else has good flowers, he will try every means to go and see them. If Qin Feixue really has good flowers, he will collect them himself. If they are just so-so, he will let her find a corner to sell them on his behalf. If not, he will let her take them back.
Anyway, he won't suffer any loss.
Qin Feixue paid the money and asked them to help deliver the tree to her home, and she left with the seeds.
After leaving the nursery, Qin Feixue complained to Shen Xingzhou: "Xu Qi has a lot of problems."
Shen Xingzhou nodded: "He got this problem from his mother's womb. He had all kinds of problems when he was a child, but they were not obvious. Later, when he grew up, he had to take medicine every day. I don't know if it was the side effect of drinking too much medicine, but he started to have headaches later."
"One day, the Xu family went around looking for flowers with special fragrances, saying that they could cure Xu Qi's headache."
At this point, Shen Xingzhou smiled and said, "But he doesn't know how to grow flowers. Whatever he grows dies. Even if an expert lives in his house, it's useless. He always finds various reasons to kill the flowers."
So over the years, the Xu family has never stopped looking for flowers with exotic fragrance.
Qin Feixue nodded: "He likes flowers so much, does he live nearby?"
"How come you're so smart?" Shen Xingzhou pinched her cheek and said, "I live in a nursery specializing in orchids in front."
"Oh." Qin Feixue's eyes rolled around: "Then let's go to the front and take a look."
