Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children: Chapter 236 Clivia

  Chapter 236 Clivia

   No matter how small a sale is, you have to bargain, not to mention that it costs twenty or thirty yuan a month.

  Even if Xu Shiyan has money, he can't spend it recklessly, the province must save it.

  The two sides talked for a while, one yuan and one yuan for grinding, and finally the landlord, Mrs. Zhang, gave in to twenty-three yuan a month.

  Bedding, firewood, and kitchen utensils are all for Xu Shiyan.

  Xu Shiyan felt that this was okay, so he settled on it, and paid the first month's rent and a deposit of ten yuan on the spot.

   Then they went back to the hotel, moved all the luggage and items they brought to the residence here, and checked out.

  After that, under the guidance of Uncle Zhang, I went to the nearby market and bought some rice noodles, oil, seasonings, meat, vegetables, lunch boxes, bowls and chopsticks, etc.

   Now that the city has opened up, you don’t have to ask for a ticket. Anyway, if you don’t have a ticket, the price will be higher.

   As high as it is, the money saved by a hotel is basically enough.

  Borrowing the landlord’s housewares to cook, naturally you have to stagger the cooking time with others.

  The old couple had nothing to do, they had two meals a day, and Mrs. Zhang started cooking at three o'clock in the afternoon.

  Xu Shiyan had nothing to do when he was free, so he went to the east room to chat with Uncle Zhang.

   "Master, my aunt likes Clivia very much, and has several pots at home."

  Xu Shiyan looked at the Clivia trees on the window sill, only one of the four pots was big, with a dozen leaves, and it would bloom after a while.

  The remaining three pots only have seven or eight leaves, which should be two-year-old seedlings, probably separated from the bigger one.

  There are only these four pots of Clivia on the window sill, nothing else, so Xu Shiyan said that Aunt Zhang probably likes Clivia very much.

   "My younger sister also likes it. I have several pots and varieties at home. The flowers are beautiful."

  Xu Shiyan didn't think of anything else, just chatting casually.

  The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. Uncle Zhang immediately widened his eyes when he heard it.

   "Hey, do you have Clivia at home? Are those varieties?

  It's a pity, it's far away, if it's close, I have to go to your house to see if there are good varieties and buy a few back.

   This stuff is worth a lot now. The big tree in my house is now being offered for hundreds of dollars. "

   "Before, this tree was only sold for two hundred at most, and the document above said that the maximum price was not allowed to exceed two hundred.

   But this matter, the more the price is not allowed to be high, the more the price will rise.

   Isn't it the beginning of spring this year, our provincial capital held a Clivia charity exhibition? Oops, this time, the price has risen even faster.

   Just these few seedlings are worth tens of dollars now, and after one or two years of flowering, they can be sold for hundreds of dollars. "

  Uncle Zhang introduced it excitedly, but at the same time felt that it was a pity that Xu Shiyan's family was too far away, and he couldn't find good varieties.

  Uncle Zhang's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, splitting Xu Shiyan's chaotic memory.

   That's right, that's right, how could he completely forget such an important thing?

  In the early 1980s, the speculation of Clivia in the provincial capital became very popular.

   It is said that a Hong Kong businessman once came to buy a pot of top-quality Clivia Clivia in person, and offered to exchange it for a Crown sedan, but he was not sold to him.

   There is also a person in Harbin who spent 50,000 yuan to buy a pot of Clivia back home.

   I heard that at that time, Clivia was called "green gold bars".

  At this time in the previous life, Xu Shiyan was still in the big house, and there was no news there. It was several years before they heard about it.

  At that time, the speculation of Clivia in the provincial capital had already blown. I don’t know how many people speculated on this and ended up bankrupt. The person who led the exhibition back then was sentenced to prison.

  A frenzied hype, leaving only chicken feathers and discarded Clivia seedlings in the trash.

  Xu Shiyan's heart was beating wildly.

  When paying the hospitalization fee in the morning, Xu Shiqin also said that he didn't know where the next surgery fee would come from.

  The pot on the window sill of Uncle Zhang’s house is a common variety, and each pot can sell for hundreds of dollars. The ones cultivated by Xu Shiqin must be more expensive.

   I don’t know what the sixth sister of his family is thinking, anyway, she really likes Clivia.

  In the past few years, Xu Shiqin has searched for flower seedlings everywhere, and also pollinated the seeds by himself to cultivate young seedlings.

  There are nearly a hundred pots of Clivia seedlings, large and small, at home. There are about ten rooms in the two houses, and the window sills are full of Clivia.

   Zhou Guilan said it, but Xu Shiqin didn't listen to it, and he was very meticulous in serving him every day.

   If this is sold at a good time, how much can it be exchanged for?

  When Xu Shiyan thought of this, his heart almost jumped into his throat.

   "Master, Clivia is so valuable? You can't be fooling around, right? It's just a potted flower, anyone buy it?"

  Xu Shiyan said this on purpose to provoke the old man.

   Sure enough, Uncle Zhang became unhappy when he heard it, "Then how can it be worthless?

what is this? Clivia. At the beginning, it was raised in the palace of Emperor Xuantong, where did the common people see it?

  Emperor Xuantong fell, and the gardener in the palace got the seeds and spread them, and then they spread among the people. "

   "People say Clivia is elegant and handsome, with the style of a gentleman.

  Its flowers are like orchids, and the leaves, flowers, and fruits are all beautiful. You can enjoy flowers in one season, fruits in three seasons, and leaves in four seasons. Are ordinary flowers comparable? "

  Uncle Zhang had a sullen face and gave Xu Shiyan a lesson.

  Xu Shiyan hurriedly made an expression of enlightenment, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, the uncle is still very powerful and educated.

  I’m from a small valley, so I really don’t understand these things.

  Then according to what the uncle said, Clivia is quite valuable, a few hundred yuan per tree, which is more than a year's salary. "

   Now, if I follow Uncle Zhang's words, I will directly coax the old man who is fried.

  Xu Shiyan said that he came from the valley and didn’t understand anything, which made Uncle Zhang feel beautiful immediately, and a sense of superiority arose spontaneously.

   "Yes, you said if you hadn't come to the provincial capital, would you have seen so many tall buildings?

   Come out to gain knowledge. If you don’t understand, just read and ask more, don’t talk nonsense. "

   "Yes, yes, what the uncle said is true." Xu Shiyan was not annoyed either.

   "Master, if you want to buy Clivia, where do you go?

  As soon as I heard what my uncle said, I wanted to find some good seedlings and go home. "Xu Shiyan asked intentionally.

   "Oh, it's winter, it's not the time, I can't buy any more.

  In summer, there is a road market on the other side of Hongqi Street, where many people sell and buy flowers. "

  Uncle Zhang didn't know what Xu Shiyan was thinking, so he shook his head regretfully, and casually gave an address.

  Xu Shiyan kept the address of Hongqi Street firmly in his heart at that time. It is true that he will not make a trip this year, but he can do it next year or the year after.

   Just at this time, Aunt Zhang prepared the meal and brought it in.

  Xu Shiyan saw it, and hurried out, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting meat, and cooking.

  In winter, there are not many fresh vegetables in the provincial capital, radishes, cabbage and potatoes.

   Potato slices fried with meat, cabbage slices fried with meat, served with the steamed buns bought before, and a meal is complete.

  So they put them in newly bought lunch boxes that were cleaned and cleaned, and then cleaned up the kitchen. Xu Shiyan went straight to the hospital with the meals.

   "Little sister, you don't have to worry about the cost of the operation this time, brother knows a way to make money."
