"Could it be that Shuizhi moved away?" Liang Shuang looked around the small yard.

"No, she didn't say that she couldn't leave her real body too far away. You can see that the lotus flower is still in place, which is no different from yesterday. If she really left, the real body should not be here anymore."

"That's right, the flower is still here, so it should be here, doesn't it mean she doesn't want to see us?"

"We didn't offend her. Besides, she was very happy that day. There was nothing unhappy about it. If it wasn't that she wasn't here, or that she didn't want to see us. Then there is only one possibility left, that is, there is no water at all. Chi, everything we saw before was an illusion."

"Hallucinations?" Liang Shuang felt a little unbelievable, but after thinking about it, compared with what happened to the four of them, this matter is really nothing worth mentioning.

They simply didn't want to think about it, and the two stood there quietly looking at the lotus in the lotus pond that might be called Shuizhi.

The two who had picked a few lotus leaves and went back happened to meet Fang Chen and Bi Er who had come back.

"You are back." Fan Yanxuan greeted.

"Well, Miss Bi'er has selected the varieties. By the way, do you want to take them yourself, or do you want us to deliver them to you?" Fang Chen asked politely.

"Thank you, no need. I can take it away myself." Bi'er's attitude seemed a little more alienated than before.

The dinner that Fan Yanxuan cooked himself was served quickly, and he also made two desserts, lotus flower cake and lotus seed cake.

Fang Chen tasted it and was full of praise, "I never imagined that someone who doesn't seem to be able to cook can cook so many dishes, and the dishes are so delicious. It must be a good business to open a restaurant with your cooking skills."

"After a while, I just know some home-cooked dishes and some desserts. Besides, I don't want to guard the stove every day. I just cook casually for my family and friends every now and then. If I were really asked to be a chef, I would Definitely not. I still have to watch over our little Shuang every day." As he spoke, Fan Yanxuan picked up a piece of lotus seed cake and put it into Liang Shuang's mouth.

"I think you don't need to add sugar to your dessert next time." Fang Chen said.

"Is it too sweet? I didn't put too much sugar today?" Fan Yanxuan asked.

"I mean, it's sweet enough to see you guys being so sweet." Fang Chen joked.

"You really know how to joke. If you're envious, you can find someone else. Do you have a goal?" Fan Yanxuan also joked.

Bi'er kept her head down while eating, looking devastated.Hearing Fan Yanxuan's question lifted her spirits, she looked at Fang Chen as if waiting for his answer.

"Fate, fate, if there is fate, there is no fate, if there is fate, there is no fate. Forget it, let's not talk about this." Fang Chen continued to eat, and Bi'er returned to the same way as before.After a few mouthfuls, he said that it was getting late and he had to leave.

Fang Chen offered to send her off, but she refused.Disappeared in the vast night with the lotus.

"What a strange guest?" Fan Tong asked.

"It's not surprising, maybe she has something on her mind." Qin Yejue said.

"You also think she has something on her mind? I also think that she always hesitates to speak... It's strange anyway, and her eyes are also very strange." Fan Yanxuan.

"Come on, everyone is gone. Maybe something happened to someone's family. Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Let's go to sleep." Hearing Liang Shuang say this, everyone felt that there was nothing bothering him?

One night passed, and in the morning Fang Chen took out the ancient lotus seeds. The lotus seeds were quietly placed in a wooden box on a soft cushion made of brocade. There were four of them in total.

"This is the ancient lotus seed. Its lifespan is much longer than ours, at least for more than a thousand years, and it can still germinate and bloom today."

"Listen to you, have you ever planted?" Liang Shuang asked.

"I planted it before..." Fang Chen paused, "But I lost it later. I'll make an offer, and if you think it's okay, you can take it away. If you don't think it's okay, we can't do business, and we're still friends."

"Since we are friends, let me give you a friendly price. Seeing that Lao Fan has made so many delicious dishes, isn't it that you can eat people's mouths?" Of course, Liang Shuang came to the stage to bargain, and only she probably had something in her heart. reserve price.

"Seeing that you are quite good at bargaining at a young age, okay." Fang Chen compared the number, Liang Shuang looked down and raised his eyebrows, and raised his hand to compare the number, "This price is still called a friend's price. If it’s cheaper for Lao Fang, we plan to stay here for a few days for sightseeing and sightseeing, and we’ll cover all the meals for these few days, so we’re sure not to repeat the same thing every day.”

Fang Chen looked at the price, "My few lotus seeds, not to mention the year, are from the former palace. The emperor liked them very much. If you don't want to grow them, you can treat them as antiques. This price is a bit..."

"Oh, don't be silly, we came all the way to your place to give you a good word. This price plus food, is it okay?" Liang Shuang didn't want to hear him bargaining here.

Fang Chen looked at Lianzi and then at the four of them, and grinned, "That's the price. I only gave in because of the food." After speaking, he handed the box to Liang Shuang.

"Do you want bank transfer? Or cash?" Liang Shuang asked with a smile.

"It's all right, depending on your convenience."

"Then let's have cash, just ready to have it." Liang Shuang asked Fan Yanxuan to go to the house to get the money.

After Fan Yanxuan tapped it once, Liang Shuang handed it to Fang Chen, "Tap it and see if it's right."

Fang Chen looked at the money in his hand, "There's no need to count, but this time it's really a loss."

Liang Shuang patted Fang Chen on the back and comforted him, "You have to think differently. You see that you have made four good friends again, don't you? This calculation is still profitable. After all, a confidant is hard to find." Fang Chen shook his head with a smile .

Fang Chen's business is neither big nor small, at least it is the number one in their village.Except for foreign merchants who buy lotus in large quantities, there are almost no other businesses. It's not that he doesn't do small businesses, but the location is remote and not so famous.So most of the time, Fang Chen lived alone in the courtyard and was at ease.

It is really rare that the customer named Bier yesterday did not buy in large quantities, and he is not a local, so he came all the way to buy lotus. It seems that he really likes lotus.

Fang Shen took the money and went back to his room, put the money in the cabinet without looking at it, sat at the desk and opened the window, the sunlight swept in and the room became much brighter.He just looked out of the window quietly like that, his brows were furrowed for some reason.

The four of Fan Tong went straight to the vegetable market first, and promised to have all-inclusive meals, so they must keep their promises.

Fan Yanxuan was picking at the front, and Qin Yejue was holding the bag.For Qin Yejue, there were very few opportunities to go to the vegetable market since he was a child. Seeing Fan Yanxuan skillfully haggling with the vegetable vendors, he remembered that Liang Shuang's bargaining skills were a natural match.

Liang Shuang and Fan Tong followed her to listen to the explanation of the knowledge of picking vegetables, although they went in from the left ear and out from the right ear.

It was still early when I came out of the vegetable market, so I went to a nearby famous beach for a stroll.It's okay if you don't go, but once you go, your good mood drops to freezing point in an instant.

I saw the seawater emitting a sour smell, and there were all kinds of garbage on the beach water.Snack bags, drink bottles, what made them speechless the most was that they saw a floating sanitary napkin, the point was still used.

A few people immediately returned by the same route, and didn't want to stop for a moment. The beautiful fantasy just now, the blue sky, white clouds, sandy beach and sea, was instantly defeated by reality.

The four of them were walking with big and small bags when suddenly a man with glasses appeared at the door and smiled at them, "Hi everyone."

Several people looked at this man and smiled inexplicably.

"You know him?" Liang Shuang asked Fan Tong.

"I do not know."

When he reached the door, Qin Yejue asked, "Are you looking for Boss Fang?"

The man nodded, "I want to buy flowers."

"Then please come in." Fan Yanxuan welcomed the man into the door.

The man wore black-rimmed glasses, and was wearing white and thin clothes made of cotton and linen. He looked very breathable and cool, giving people a sense of elegance.

As soon as he entered, Fan Yanxuan called out, "Boss Fang, we have guests."

Fang Chen came out of the room in response, greeted him with a smile and stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Fang Chen, what kind of varieties do you want to buy?"

The man's gaze followed Fang Chen from the second floor to the front, and he never left. "My name is Zhu Hua, and I don't know how to look casually." The man held Fang Chen's hand and let it go after a while.

"Mr. Zhu, then follow me to the lotus pond at the back to have a look." After saying that, Zhu Hua followed Fang Chen to the lotus pond.

Fan Yanxuan and Qin Yejue were busy making lunch in the kitchen, while Liang Shuang and Fan Tong were playing mobile games in the room.

Fan Yanxuan probably knew his usual business status, and while chopping vegetables, he said to Qin Yejue, "Fang Chen said before that there are only a few big deals every year, and there will be almost no outsiders in this house in the next year. I just left yesterday. A customer with a protruding front and back, another man came today."

"Maybe it's Fang Chen's God of Wealth who brought us our fortune after we came, so he has to thank us well." Qin Yejue teased.

Zhu Hua on the side of the lotus pond pointed out several kinds of lotus, Fang Chen wrote down one by one.

After the selection, Zhu Hua stopped, "Boss Fang, I heard how many ancient lotus seeds you have?"

"It's really a coincidence that you came here. You just made a move yesterday."

"Is there not one left?"

"Not one left."

"Really?" Zhu Hua smiled at Fang Chen.

"There really isn't one left."

"What about the lotus?"

"There are lotus flowers in front of me." Fang Chen smiled politely without changing his face.

"I mean is there any rare species?"

"Oh, it turns out that these lotus flowers are not attractive. In the lotus ponds over there, there are all new varieties from abroad, but the price is much higher than these kinds."

"Price is not an issue, I want the best, the most expensive."

Fang Chen took Zhu Hua to a round lotus pond, "This is the most expensive and best one here, but it is difficult to feed. If the various environmental conditions are not up to standard, it will die soon."

Zhu Hua looked at the lotus in the lotus pond, and turned her head to look at Fang Chen with a look of anticipation in her eyes, "I want to be unique."

"That will be difficult. We have nothing unique here. Otherwise, you can look elsewhere."

After hearing this, Zhu Hua smiled, "Forget it, I want this and the one just now."

"We can help you with free shipping."

"No need, I can take it myself." Zhu Hua declined Fang Chen, then turned to look at the lotus in the pond.

After returning from the lotus pond, Fan Yanxuan's meal was ready.Seeing the meal time, Fang Shen politely asked him to stay for dinner, Zhu Hua did not object.

Six people were at the dinner table, chatting while eating.Fan Tong suggested that everyone tell a few special things. He told what he saw and heard along the way, and everyone laughed and the atmosphere was very relaxed.And Zhu Hua talked about his friend...
