rebirth all over again
Chapter 16 The Dying Orchid
Chen Xiaoyun smiled when he saw that the old man also said that the wind is the rain.
Walking in, there are many seeds, strawberry, watermelon, and cantaloupe and melon seeds, which are rarely grown here. Cantaloupe is grown in Xinjiang, and melon seems to be a specialty of Yanliang, Xi'an. .
Thinking for a while, I must buy some of these seeds to go back.
After a while, the old man came back with a pheasant in his hand.
"Grandpa, I want to buy some seeds." Chen Xiaoyun said to the old man
"There's a bag over there, you take it yourself, and after you take it, come to me to count the money." The old man pointed to the place where the bag was, and went to another room with the pheasant in hand.
Chen Xiaoyun specially picked those seeds with high vitality, 20 each of watermelon, strawberry, cantaloupe, and muskmelon.
Strawberries can still be planted when I go back now, and I can sell them once before the Chinese New Year.
Chen Xiaoyun looked at some orchids beside him, but he didn't know what kind they were.
Just as the old man came out, he asked, "Grandpa, what kind of orchid is this? It blooms so beautifully."
The old man is also a person who loves orchids, so he told him as soon as he heard the child ask, and he didn't dislike him for being a child.
The old man walked up to the pearl orchid in front of Chen Xiaoyun, "This is Molan, also known as Baosuilan. It is a ground plant in the genus Orchidaceae. The pseudobulb is ovoid and hidden in the leaf base. The leaves are band-shaped, nearly thin leathery, Dark green. Scapes emanate from the base of the pseudobulb, erect, thicker, generally slightly longer than the leaves; the color of the flowers varies greatly, usually dark purple or purple-brown with light-colored lips, and also yellow-green, pink or white Yes, generally with a strong aroma; sepals narrowly oblong or narrowly elliptic; petals nearly narrowly ovate; lips nearly ovate-oblong; stamens slightly curved forward, with narrow wings on both sides; pollen clusters 4 , in 2 pairs, broadly ovoid. Capsule narrowly elliptic. Flowering period from October to next March."
He pointed to the other two pots of orchids and said, "This is Jianlan and Hanlan."
"Chanlan is a ground plant of the genus Orchidaceae. The pseudobulb is narrowly ovoid and enclosed in the leaf base. The leaves are band-shaped, thin leathery, dark green, and the front edge often has fine teeth. The flowers are often light yellow-green with a Pale yellow lip, also has other colors, often has a strong aroma; petals are usually narrowly ovate or ovate-lanceolate; lip is nearly ovate; stamen slightly curved forward, with narrow wings on both sides. Capsule narrowly elliptic , about 4.5 cm long and 1.8 cm wide. The flowering period is August-December
The plant type is slender and healthy, the leaves are elegant and handsome, the flowers are colorful and changeable, the fragrance is mellow and long-lasting, and it is really precious when the frost is cold and fragrant. Therefore, it has the name of "Hanlan" and is one of the national orchids. "
"Jianlan is hidden in the base of the leaves. 2-6 leaves, band-shaped, shiny, 30-60 cm long, 1-2.5 cm wide. Scapes emanate from the base of the pseudobulb, erect, generally shorter than the leaves; total Inflorescences with 3-9 flowers; flowers often have fragrance, color changes greatly, usually light yellow-green with purple spots; sepals are narrowly oblong or narrowly elliptic; petals are narrowly elliptic or narrowly ovate-elliptic, 1.5- long 2.4 cm, 5-8 mm wide, nearly flat; lip nearly ovate, 1.5-2.3 cm long, slightly 3-lobed. Capsule narrowly elliptic, 5-6 cm long, 2 cm wide. Flowering period is usually 6-10 moon."
"And Jianlan grows in sparse forests, bushes, valleys or grass at an altitude of 600-1800 meters. It is produced in many places in China, widely distributed in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and as far as Japan in the north. This flower has high horticultural and herbal medicine value."
The old man didn't care whether Chen Xiaoyun understood or not, so he just introduced him with ID.
"Um, grandpa, how much do you sell this orchid for?" Chen Xiaoyun looked at the old man's mutilated or dying orchid, and it was estimated that the old man would throw it away.
"The price of this pot of ink orchids is generally around 50 yuan. If someone likes it very much, it can be higher,"
"The prices of Jianlan and Hanlan here are similar, because they are common varieties. If it is a good variety, it will be more expensive. Hundreds, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands are possible."
"Grandpa, do you have any expensive orchids?"
"Hey, come and see this pot, this pot of orchids is the most expensive of mine." The old man took two steps and said, pointing to a pot of orchids.
Chen Xiaoyun saw that the potted flower had already bloomed. The color of the flower was emerald green with bright red butterfly. The flowering petals of the strong plant were overlapping, and the countless petals were particularly beautiful.
"Old man, what's the name of this orchid?"
"This is called Emei Mountain Qidie, also known as Emei Peony. It is produced in the Emei Mountain area. The price is around 1 to 2. I just got it back two days ago. There are two plants in total. It's a pity," the old man shook his head and said.
"What a pity"
"It's a pity that there is another one. They didn't keep the other one. You can see that it's all dead." The old man pointed to one of the flowers and plants piled on the ground that might be thrown away.
"Grandpa, are you going to throw these away?" Chen Xiaoyun looked at these orchids, several of them were still alive, but not obvious, if it wasn't for Chen Xiaoyun, these flowers would probably die tomorrow, but Chen Xiaoyun has supernatural powers, Enter vitality, and the flower can come back to life.
"Yeah, these orchids can't survive, so they can only be thrown away." The old man is also a person who loves orchids, and he is very sad to see the orchids on the ground that are about to be thrown away.
"Old man, can you send me?"
"These are all dead, it's useless for you to take them," the old man persuaded
"It's okay, I'll take it back and try it. My grandfather likes orchids very much. I don't have the money to buy orchids for him. If this plant works, I'll give it to him. If it doesn't work, it's okay," Chen Xiaoyun said.
"Hehe, if you can still grow a living, I won't throw it away. You can take it all away." The old man said with a smile, and jokingly said, "If you really grow a living, you can sell it to me."
"Okay, if I really grow them, I'll come to you to sell them." Chen Xiaoyun knew that the old man was just joking, and didn't believe that he could grow these orchids.
Chen Xiaoyun picked out all the orchids that were still alive, and then the old man settled the price of the seeds.
"These seeds are a total of 3 yuan and 5 cents. You can just give me 2." The old man saved him a fraction.
"Hey, okay, grandpa, this is money." Chen Xiaoyun handed over 5 yuan.
Put away the change that the old man gave me, and went out with those orchids in my arms, "Grandpa, I'm leaving, I'm at home"
"Goodbye, baby" the old man was still muttering that he was such a polite baby.
Chen Xiaoyun went to Grandpa Chen and saw a young man buying the last pheasant.
Grandpa Chen looked at Chen Xiaoyun holding a few orchids that were about to die, and asked him what he wanted to do with it.
Chen Xiaoyun said that when he returned home, he might be able to grow a job, and he could sell it for money.
Grandpa Chen just smiled and didn't say anything. Like the old man, he didn't believe that the orchid that was about to die could still grow alive.
Chen Xiaoyun put the orchids in the pocket where they had been carrying vegetables before, and quietly lost some abilities, keeping them from dying inside, and after returning home to plant them, slowly input vitality to revive them all.
It is estimated that around 11 o'clock now, Grandpa Chen packed up his things and gave the remaining 4 cucumbers to the liquor owner who borrowed their place. Then Grandpa Chen went to a shop selling brushes and ink to buy two brushes. Grandpa also planned to buy white paper. Chen Xiaoyun said that he didn't need white paper now, he could practice on the newspaper at home first, and after a while, he was using white paper. After hearing this, Grandpa Chen stopped buying it.
Chen Xiaoyun also said that since she wants to plant greenhouses, she should go to the bookstore to see if there are any books about greenhouse planting, and buy them back for research. The two went to a bookstore and asked the boss if there were any books on growing vegetables and mushrooms in greenhouses. The boss said His family did not.
Grandpa Chen and Chen Xiaoyun went to a few more bookstores, but they couldn't find them. Chen Xiaoyun guessed that there were none here yet.
Grandpa Chen was a little disappointed. Chen Xiaoyun comforted him and said it was okay, we can study it slowly. Grandpa Chen thought about it and let it go.
After shopping, the two walked in the direction of going home by car.
Grandpa Chen and Chen Xiaoyun took a car and answered that it was already 1:[-] p.m. for Chen Qian on the street. They had lunch at Chen Qian's place, and planned to go home after holding the cow.
Before leaving, Fifth Grandma packed a catty of meat for Grandpa Chen to take back, but Grandpa Chen didn't want it, so Chen Qian asked if he didn't dislike it anymore, and Grandpa Chen continued if there was no way.
Fifth Grandma also filled Chen Xiaoyun with a lot of white rabbit toffee.
"Fifth Grandpa, Fifth Grandma, let's go!" Chen Xiaoyun rode on the big black bull, and Grandpa Chen led the bull and walked ahead.
"Next time you come to play at Fifth Mistress's house, third brother, you should be careful on the road too."
"Hey, you go into the house, the students will come later, you have to cook, go in, let's go." After finishing speaking, Grandpa Chen led the cow and left without looking back.
————————————————————
When they walked to Jiudaoguai (the name of the road), they happened to meet Chen Zhu returning to school.
Nine Turns, from the street to here just turned nine turns, so it is called Nine Turns all the time.
Grandpa Chen gave Chen Zhu 1 yuan for this week's pocket money. Chen Zhu didn't want it at first, but Chen Xiaoyun said that they sold a lot of vegetables today, and asked Chen Zhu to take it. He also said that she must buy vegetables and eat instead of eating too much Pickles, otherwise he would feel distressed. Chen Zhu felt warm when he heard his little nephew say that she only ate pickles, so he agreed to take them, but he was thinking about buying candy for him next time he was on vacation.
Looking at Chen Zhu's appearance, Chen Xiaoyun knew that she probably wanted to buy candy for him, "Father, don't buy me candy. Grandma Fifth gave me a lot of candy. The money is for you to buy soup. I will be angry if I see that you didn’t buy it or bought me candy next time.” Chen Xiaoyun also took out the white rabbit candy and gave it to Chen Zhu.
"Well, I will definitely buy soup to eat." Chen Zhu, there are teachers' family members in their school who sell soup specially. They are potato soup, cabbage soup, and even better is seaweed soup. It costs 5 cents a foreign porcelain bowl. Many students like it. It is to buy a bowl of soup at noon every day, eat with rice, and eat pickles in the morning and evening.
"Chen Zhu, come quickly." A classmate with Chen Zhu in front saw her and called her if she didn't leave.
"Hurry up, we are going home too, be careful on the way." Grandpa Chen also heard her classmates calling her again.
"Okay, I'm leaving now, Dad, you and Xiao Yunzi go back together, and be careful on the road." After speaking, Chen Zhu ran to catch up with his classmates.
------------------
It was already evening when I got home, and Grandma Chen had already prepared dinner, and I would eat it when Grandpa Chen and the others came home.
Before eating, Grandpa Chen took out all the money in the bag, and the three of them started counting the money.
Vegetables alone cost 200 yuan, 50 eggs sold for 24 yuan, dried pheasants sold for 165 yuan, hares sold for 135 yuan, and three live pheasants sold for 67 yuan.
A total of 591 yuan was earned today, except for Chen Xiaoyun who took 5 yuan and Chen Zhu who took 1 yuan, leaving 585 yuan.
Grandma Chen looked at the money in her hand, afraid that she might make a mistake in counting the majority, so she counted it three times in a row, and it was still the same amount.
"Grandpa, this~ this is really the money you sold today." Grandma Chen stuttered a bit. To be honest, until now, Grandma Chen has never made so much money at once.
"It's all money for buying vegetables." Grandpa Chen knew that he made money today, but he didn't expect to make so much money.
Walking in, there are many seeds, strawberry, watermelon, and cantaloupe and melon seeds, which are rarely grown here. Cantaloupe is grown in Xinjiang, and melon seems to be a specialty of Yanliang, Xi'an. .
Thinking for a while, I must buy some of these seeds to go back.
After a while, the old man came back with a pheasant in his hand.
"Grandpa, I want to buy some seeds." Chen Xiaoyun said to the old man
"There's a bag over there, you take it yourself, and after you take it, come to me to count the money." The old man pointed to the place where the bag was, and went to another room with the pheasant in hand.

Strawberries can still be planted when I go back now, and I can sell them once before the Chinese New Year.
