The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

In the night, the guests at Baojia B&B have finished their day of fun and are enjoying a leisurely holiday life at night.

On the second floor of Zhou's small house, Zhou Quan and Chef Bao, who had finished their day's work, were busy with the tasks at hand.

There are two laptops of different models on the kang table. Zhou Quan and Chef Bao are sitting opposite each other. Zhou Quan is cross-legged and wears glasses. The side is thinking hard about new dishes.

After a period of operation, Baojia Homestay has been on the right track, and now it is almost full on holidays, and the occupancy rate is usually about [-]% to [-]%.

However, with the arrival of the summer vacation, Chef Bao has realized that this kind of "leisurely" life will not last for too long. Look at the orders here every day from the end of July to the end of August. Tell everyone, be prepared to work overtime.

In order to cope with the coming peak period of tourists, Chef Bao plans to send the new recipes for next month to the company in advance, so that he can concentrate on the homestay.

Zhou Quan's side is sorting out the three months back, and the staged summary of the varieties of seasonal flowers that have been planted in the past three months.

After the summary is finished, Zhou Quan will send it to his alma mater to the old professor who is responsible for providing them with seedlings and the scientific research team behind him, which can be regarded as providing a detailed promotion and expansion data for the laboratory.

Recently, those blue enchantresses who are full of expectations of the whole village in Zhou's flower shed have finally entered the picking period. The order has already been signed in advance. Zhou Quan just needs to wait for the news from the buyer and deliver the qualified fresh cut flowers to the flower shop within the specified time. Just send it over there.

Because several times of cooperation have been very pleasant, Zhouquan has been in close contact with the flower shop recently. Just a few days ago, the flower shop secretly asked Zhou Quan, if the production of fine roses is expanded, the quality of the fresh cut flowers they provide Can there be any guarantee?

Zhou Quan keenly sensed something unusual in these questions. As a third-tier city in the Northeast, the flower consumption market in Phoenix City is limited, and the share of the high-end market is only so much. If the planting area of ​​fine roses is expanded, how many How to digest the small flowers that come out?

Unless the chain flower shop wants to make some big moves, for example, let the store in Phoenix City become a flower base to provide supply for flower shops in other surrounding cities.

This idea has been lingering in Zhouquan's mind for a long time. As a former transportation hub city, Phoenix has a unique transportation location.

It is located at the junction of three provinces, and at the same time, it is adjacent to the two largest external port cities in the province. The city itself has an airport, and the transportation can be described as comprehensive coverage by sea, land and air.

Such geographical conditions are very suitable for the development of the logistics industry, and also provide convenient conditions for local farming and animal husbandry.

Zhou Quan would not be surprised if that nationally renowned flower shop wanted to open a flower storage in a neighboring city in Phoenix, but in this city, when it comes to planting fresh-cut flowers, especially fresh-cut roses, no village would dare to do so. It is said that they can do better than their two surnamed villages.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to completely transform the flower planting in Liangxing Village, from popular varieties to boutique routes.

The more high-end flowers, the higher the technical and environmental requirements, and the greater the relative profit margin.

So Zhou Quan is very excited now, he wants to grasp the opportunity very much, but the current situation of the village makes him hesitate.

Chef Bao, who had already sent the new dishes to the company, browsed the webpage aimlessly with his chin in his hand, but Shi Shi was always carefully peeking at Fa Xiao.

Seeing that Zhou Quan seemed to be troubled by something, with a rather frowning look, Chef Bao and Shang Dong leaned over and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that you are going to write a summary report? I haven't typed a few words since I met you just now." , can’t write it?”

"It is reported that the number of calls is almost the same during the day. I am troubled by the things on the side of the flower shed in the village."

"Whose flowers are sick? Or someone who wants to expand the flower shed came to ask you for advice?"

"No, it's the flower shop. Recently, the female store manager has been discussing with me about the large-scale planting of premium roses. I think there should be the idea of ​​​​developing a flower base in our city. The conditions in our village It’s so good, and they’ve cooperated with them before, so it’s normal that they would give priority to us to come and test their words.”

"This is a good thing. Although the flower shop has high requirements for the quality of flowers, it has a good reputation in the circle of consumers, and the sales of flowers are also very smooth. I heard that their flower base in the south has many high-quality flowers. Flowers are exported to Europe and the United States, if we can have this opportunity, it will be great for the village."

"I think so too, but the three fine rose varieties have only been introduced for less than four months, and they have only been planted in our flower shed for a season. If we sign an order with the flower shop now, mobilize the villagers Would planting be too risky?"

This is indeed a problem, after all, even Zhou Zhou can only be regarded as a novice in the cultivation of fine roses.

A novice leads a group of rookies with no experience, even if there are experts behind them to give advice, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.

But if they don't pick up, the other party won't wait for them, and they will definitely find another village to start cooperation again. Wouldn't it be in vain to watch the opportunity slip away from their hands?

"Can you buy a buffer time first?" After thinking for a few minutes, Chef Bao suddenly asked.

"Uh? What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that since it is a flower base, it must be more than one variety, and it is impossible to only manage high-quality flowers. Although our village is still in the trial planting stage of new varieties of fresh-cut roses, the general public like the cardinal We have been planting varieties for many years, and each household has rich cultivation experience. We provide them with high-quality cardinals for the first one to two years. During this time, everyone can quickly familiarize themselves with the planting techniques of other high-quality roses. When the time is right, a large number of high-quality and high-quality flowers can naturally be cultivated."

"It's a good idea, I'll talk to you over there again."

Looking at Fa Xiao who left the summary aside and was holding his mobile phone to communicate with the other party, Chef Bao didn’t bother him, but turned on his laptop again, looked up novel dishes on the Internet, and went to recharge himself.

The communication between Zhou Quan and the other party was very smooth, and the flower shop was also willing to take as little risk as possible.

The store manager said that when the Blue Enchantress is accepted in a few days, the headquarters will probably send people to the Liang surname village for field inspections, so that they have to be mentally prepared.

Zhou Quan, who felt that he had made a great contribution, heard this message, and immediately called his cousin to announce the good news, regardless that it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Don't mention Duo Lehe, the uncle who got the news on the phone. He has heard of the flower base, and they place orders in advance. As long as the quality of the flowers grown meets the standard, they will sell them all in one package.

In this way, their village no longer has to worry about the sales of flowers, and only needs to concentrate on planting flowers.

With the addition of the flower base and the operation of the farmhouse, the money must be earned in a year. By then, their village will still be a veritable model and leading village in the county for production and prosperity.

"The common people are really happy today, and the boss's surname is really happy today..."

Before hanging up the phone, Zhou Quan heard his uncle singing like this with his own ears.

Smiling and throwing the phone aside, Zhou Quan just laughed and fell on the kang, his big cousin is really an honest person.

Seeing that the other party hung up the phone, Chef Bao, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, asked unintentionally, "Where do you want to go for rest tomorrow?"

The B&B treats employees with a combination of work and rest. If it is not true that they cannot leave their posts, the employees will definitely have one day off every Monday.

All the staff are like this, let alone Chef Bao himself.

In his opinion, work is for a better life, and working hard to make money is to make life better and more comfortable. He doesn't want to work every day except for work. Chef Bao will never be polite when he should rest and relax. .

As for Zhou Quan, he is a part-time job, and the 'boss' said that if he has a vacation, he can take it directly.

Tomorrow is Monday, more guests check out than check in at the homestay, basically it is the most leisure time.

When Chef Bao left at night, he had already told the night duty staff that he would be resting tomorrow, and the arrangements for the kitchen had already been completed.

Zhou Quan leaned on the pillow and replied while fiddling with his mobile phone: "I have to go to the city to have my hair cut. This hair has not been cut since I came back, and it has started to block my eyes. Do you want to go with me?"

"What are you going to do after the haircut?"

"I haven't thought about it, is there any place you want to go?"

"There is a western restaurant over Tianxin Lake. Their charcoal-grilled steak tastes very authentic. Do you want to try it?"

"Hey, there are still restaurants that you can rate well? Then you must try them."

"Okay, I've made a reservation."

? ? ? ? ?

"I've just finished speaking, aren't you going too fast?"

"After eating the steak, accompany me to the shopping mall. When I come back, I don't bring much clothes, so I need to buy some more."

"Okay, I just want to buy a new pair of shoes."

"Oh, you see that the new movie "XXXXX[-]" is released, and the audience reviews are very good. Let's go and watch it. I've seen [-] and want to continue watching it."

"Ah, you've seen the first part of this movie too? I've seen it too. It's super good. I heard it's hard to get a ticket. Can you still buy it?"

"It doesn't matter, we see that there are few people in the afternoon, and there are still many seats."

"Great, so lucky!!!"

"Zhou Zhou, I heard that in the past few years when we went out, the city rebuilt the side of Binhe Road, and now that area is a landscape garden. It's been so long, and I don't know what it looks like now? Look Do you want to go for a stroll after the movie?"

"Yes, let's also visit our beautiful hometown."

"Very well, that's the schedule for tomorrow. I'll wash my feet."

Chef Bao, who happily returned with a small footbath, found himself sitting on the edge of the Kang in a daze as soon as he entered the room.

"What's wrong with you, Zhou Zhou?"

"It's okay, it just always feels like something's not right, but I can't figure out what's wrong."

Chef Bao bent down to put the footwashing water on the stool, and after serving it to Zhou Quan, he asked in a low voice, "Is there anything dissatisfied with tomorrow's arrangement? Don't want to eat charcoal-grilled steak? Or don't want to watch "XXXXX2" ? Otherwise, we will come back after shopping for shoes, and we won’t go to the Riverside Garden.”

"No, it's rare to have a day off. It's so boring to stay at home. I heard that there is a musical fountain in the riverside garden at night, and I want to go and have a look."

"Then what are you thinking about? Wash your feet, go to bed after washing, we will leave early tomorrow, don't you say you have to go to the bank to save money?"

"Ah, I almost forgot if you didn't remind me, remember to remind me to bring my passbook when I go out tomorrow."

The attention was diverted in an instant, and Zhou Quan said so without realizing that he was being led away again.
