The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

The flowers of Liangxing Village are packaged and stored in a cold and fresh low-temperature storage room, and they are carefully waiting for freshly cut flowers one after another.

The flower buds are covered with a polypropylene mesh outer membrane to prevent the flowers from colliding with each other, and a layer of special "flower mud" is also applied to the cuts. This thin layer of "flower mud" can not only prevent water It can also provide part of the nutrients for the flowers, so as to ensure that the flowers will not lose nutrients during the transportation.

This is not enough, the box for this batch of flowers is also quite special, not to mention the space in the carton box for ordinary flowers, and there are interlayers inside.

Facilities for cooling can be placed in the interlayer, so that the flowers can maintain their condition even after long-distance transportation.

If it is just an ordinary variety of flowers, of course it will not receive such care. Like the previous batch of cardinals, they cut off the buds and put them on polypropylene nets to prevent collisions and isolate them and send them away directly.

But this batch of flowers is different, these are well-maintained Louis XIV and yellow smart.

After more than two months of careful cultivation, today the two sheds of flowers have finally reached the standard for harvesting and selling.

Not only Zhouquan, but the villagers in the village have high hopes for these two sheds of flowers, hoping that these beautiful and precious flower seeds can open a new flower market for the village of Liangsurname.

Because of the price, when Zhou Quan recommended these two kinds of flowers, he did not look for the ordinary flower shop, but chose the national chain flower brand shop that he had cooperated with last time.

This national chain flower brand store specializes in medium and high-end flowers. If the flowers in it are ordinary varieties, they must be graded to export level, but flowers of this level cannot be found in their stores.

It is precisely because of this strict requirement on quality that their flowers are very popular even if they are expensive. Zhou Quan feels that if there is any flower shop in the city that is interested in his cherished varieties, it must be this one.

As expected, when he sent the video of Louis XIV and yellow smart flowers in the shed to the store manager of the brand store via WeChat, a message was sent back within half an hour, saying He is willing to buy the fine roses in his shed.

In order to ensure the quality, the store manager of the other party specially came over in person to inspect Zhou Quan's two flower sheds in the Zhou family's flower shed.

Looking at the Louis XIV in the flower shed, which has rich colors, straight branches, straight branches and plump buds, and looking at the other flower shed, which is bright yellow and green, the delicate and lovely yellow is dexterous. Thumbs up.

Flowers of this quality made people find no place even if they wanted to be picky. The lady was afraid that the good supply would slip away from her, so she signed a supply contract with Zhou Quan on the spot.

Not only that, after knowing that high-quality blue enchantresses were still being cultivated in another flower shed, the store manager made a request to visit.

Of course it's okay if the guest wants to see flowers, Zhou Quan took the store manager to the largest one of the four flower sheds after accepting the contract.

The blue witches in the flower shed have been dyed several times, and now they look like blue roses.

After the college's soil measurement and climate review, and after comprehensive consideration, Zhouquan and his village decided that the base variety for rose dyeing was Tanick among the white rose varieties.

This kind of rose is native to the Netherlands. It is a hybrid tea fragrance, pure white flower color, large flowers with almost no fragrance, tall and beautiful flowers with curling edges, pedicels, branches, and few thorns. It has high yield and long flowering period. It is very suitable as a 'blue rose' The dyeing varieties are used.

In order for the guests to see it more clearly, Zhou Quan deliberately cut off a budding blue enchantress and handed it to the guests for her to observe carefully.

The store manager took the blue enchantress Zhou Quan handed over, first looked at the appearance, and then actually tore off the petals to see what was inside the flower.

She tore off a petal and looked at the color of the lowest end of the petal.

Pick up the flower buds again to see the state of the flower core, and rub the petals with your hands from light to heavy, and then observe whether there is any dye residue on your fingers.

The rubbed petals were quickly kneaded out of shape, but there was only a little color left on the fingers of the store manager lady. It was not until the petals were completely crushed and the juice inside oozed out that there was no color left on her hands. There is a more obvious blue blot.

The store manager was very satisfied with this, and bent down to observe the stalks and branches of these flowers.

The flower of Tanike is a large-flowered rose, and when the flowers are in full bloom, they can cover half of the palm of an adult.

Such a big flower, if the branches are not thick, straight, and hard, they will not be able to support them at all. The flowers will hang down when they are in full bloom, or even fall directly from the flower branches.

They do fresh cut and flower drop is a very serious thing.

However, after repeated observations, the store manager found that the roses in this flower shed not only have thick, straight and straight branches, but also grow extraordinarily tall and strong.

The height of each rose has exceeded her knees, and the height of each rose is more than 40 centimeters.

If the development continues like this, when these blue enchantresses reach the market specification, the absolute length of the cut branches can definitely exceed 45 centimeters.

This is a first-class quality for the variety Tanik, even if it is exported to the EU, it is the standard for high-end flowers.

"Do you have any certificates of conformity and safety certificates for the dyes you use for these blue enchantresses?"

Zhou Quan, who had been prepared for a long time, heard the guest's question, immediately took out his mobile phone, showed the other party a few chapters of pictures, and said: "This is the product certification for the dye we use, and the source of the product is provided by the Imperial Agricultural University. Absolutely food-grade, guaranteed to be harmless to biological safety, these are photos, if you want to see the original, I can find it immediately."

"No need, I believe that a person who can plant such a shed of beautiful flowers with heart will disdain to lie about this kind of thing. When you deliver the next time, just send a copy of the safety certificate of the dyeing agent along with it. .”

"Delivery? You mean?"

"Yes, we also want your shed of blue enchantresses. The prices of different grades of flowers are different here. I will send you the price list when I go back. The red shed not far away is ventilating. Yi Jiaozhu is the source of the goods you provided us last time, right? The quality of that batch of flowers is very good, and customers have reported that they will bloom unbeaten for ten days after they are placed in vases. If the quality can be maintained, we are willing to purchase your flowers for a long time. The red-clothed leader next to you, the price will not let you suffer."

Of course Zhouquan had no reason to refuse such a good job, he immediately agreed to the other party's request, and all the contracts were signed the next day.

Because the varieties are cherished and the quality is good, this time the thoughtful Louis XIV and the yellow smart have sold at very good prices.

Each one is more than ten times the price of ordinary flowers on the market, and this is the price given by the other party for the first time to buy new flowers from here.

Zhou Quan believes that as long as his supply is stable and of good quality, the other party will definitely choose to establish a long-term cooperation with him, and the price will definitely have to be renegotiated by then.

When signing the contract, Zhou Quan found that although both were precious varieties, the price of the yellow smart was obviously higher than that of Louis XIV. When he asked why, the store manager gave him this answer.

"Yellow Smart is a two-color variety. The cost of breeding, technology, and conditions are relatively high. There are few people who grow it, and there are few sources of goods on the market, so the price is naturally high. Although Louis XIV is a precious variety, it is after all the last century. The cultivated flower variety has a planting history of more than 100 years. After years of cultivation, the planting area of ​​this variety in China has reached a certain scale, and the supply is sufficient and the price will naturally be stable.”

"This is from the channel of purchase, if it is from the channel of sales, the purple Louis XIV has a certain number of domestic consumer groups because of its precious and beautiful appearance, but it is a monochrome flower after all, and the current flower Most of the consumption is young people. If we only talk about the sales speed, the two-color yellow smart is more popular among young people, especially in the wedding market. It is very popular for brides to use two-color flowers for bouquets, so the more popular price is natural It's going to be higher."

Zhou Quan nodded understandingly when he heard the words, and decided to observe the reaction of consumers in the urban market here to the two kinds of flowers. If the two-color flowers are really more popular than the single-color flowers, then even if it is more difficult to plant , is also a more worthy choice.

Because the flowers are precious and expensive, the flower shop requires that the fresh flowers delivered must be treated cold and fresh to ensure that the package is not opened after arriving at the store. Low-temperature storage in the cold storage can ensure that the flowers enter a dormant period, so as to prolong the storage time.

Carefully lift the packaged flowers out of the cold storage, where the flower shop's own cold chain truck is already waiting at the door.

It is said that this batch of fresh-cut flowers will be shipped directly to the next city after the florist receives the goods. There is a rich wedding reservation over there that uses these precious flowers.

When Zhou Quan was carrying flowers to the car, he found that besides his own two sheds of flowers, there were many other cartons piled up in the cold chain truck. It seemed that they were filled with fresh flowers, but it seemed that it was only his two sheds. More than 1000 flowers should not be enough at the wedding banquet.

Although I don't know how much the flower shop offered to the other party for setting up the venue, but seeing how the store manager paid attention to it and even transferred the cold chain trucks, they must have made a lot of money from this transaction.

After a busy morning, the flower shop happily settled the bill for him after counting the quantity.

Holding a stack of thick banknotes in his hand, Zhou Quan saw off the guests with a smile on his face.

When he turned back to clean up the flower stalks and leaves left over from packing in the cold storage, the villagers who came to help him from the flower shed next door gathered together and whispered together.

"Did you see that? When the man paid Ah Quan the bill just now, he paid for a bundle of new bills, and the paper strings were not torn apart. It looked like they were freshly withdrawn from the bank."

"No way, I calculated when I was helping to pack just now, there are only more than 1000 flowers in Ah Quan's two sheds. A bundle of banknotes in the bank is 1 yuan, and less than 1 flowers can sell for [-] yuan. You Are you kidding me?"

"Who is making fun of you, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Really? Just those two sheds of flowers sold for 1 yuan?"

"It's not a big deal, Ah Quan also said that he doesn't have any change here, just remember to count the change together when you check out next time."

"Really, the purple and two-color flowers are so valuable? If we change to the same variety, can we sell 1 yuan for two flower sheds?"

"Well, I don't expect 5000. We don't have Aquanna's technology, so I can pay half of it 2500. One shed is 6 per crop. I can grow three crops with [-] flower sheds. This income is much better than before."

"Well, have you heard that Baoyan boy has started teaching classes. Anyone who wants to open a farmhouse can send a person to him to learn two or three special dishes. They guarantee that every family will not repeat the same dishes. , we must make the main dishes of each family have their own characteristics. My mother-in-law has already decided that the house at home will be renovated immediately, and it will be in accordance with the standards of that farmhouse. In addition to taking care of the flower shed, I also have to spare time to go to A I went to learn to cook new dishes over there, and after the house was improved, I went to the city to apply for the formalities. At that time, the farmhouse will open and new varieties of flowers will be raised. Our family will work harder, and our family will definitely be able to do it in a few years. get rich."

"Hey, it's not just you. Who in our village has the same idea as you now? How many families have started to prepare materials for rebuilding their houses? I'm full of energy now, and I'm just waiting for the house to be improved. While doing it well, I made money and went to the city to buy a house, so that my parents can provide better care for the elderly, and my children can have the opportunity to receive better education.”

"Hey, the more you think about it, the more beautiful it becomes. Our village is going to publish it. Do you know that since the news that our village is going to operate farmhouses and improve flower seeds has spread, the chief trustee of this other village has come to inquire about the girls and Boy. A good girl doesn’t worry about getting married, and a good guy doesn’t worry about getting married. Just wait, everyone’s good days are coming.”
