Warm man's succulent garden

Recently, Zhang Jingye was a little bit worried: He found that since he had succulents on the farm, he had no free time at all, and he became a professional succulent planting consultant!

"Xiaoye Xiaoye! Look at this pot of Xiongtongzi, there are white veins appearing on the leaves. Is this the 'out of brocade' mentioned in the book?" Ever since she fell in love with Xiongtongzi, Xu Mengqing volunteered to become The full-time maintenance staff of Xiong Tongzi in the greenhouse.

"Yes, yes! Congratulations, Sister Mengqing, the brocade bear is more expensive than the little green bear!" Zhang Jingye was also very happy.

"Xiaoye, Xiaoye! What's wrong with this pot of peach eggs? It feels different from others! Why is there a point on the leaves?" Zhang Lanlan is responsible for maintaining the peach eggs, facing this pile of chubby cute eggs every day. Things, the female man feels that he has some motherly feelings recently (what the hell?!).

"Uh~~ This doesn't seem to be a peach egg, it's a peach beauty, right? Wait for me to read the book!"

"Xiaoye Xiaoye! Look at this pot of Chihuahuas. The red tips on the head seem to have faded a bit? What should I do? I'm so anxious~~" Cheng Weigang, like Zhang Xin, likes cute Chihuahuas, Zhang Xin Jing Ye is really drunk~~

……

After being harassed for a few days, Zhang Jingye said she couldn't take it anymore!

He took Luo Jin to the downtown bookstore, found a few succulents, cacti plant maintenance knowledge and color illustrations, and threw them directly to several people, asking them to read them in turn. They must master all the knowledge within a month. take an exam!

Originally thought that these scumbags would find it hard to accept, but Zhang Jingye really underestimated the enthusiasm of meat fans for succulents!

One month later, seeing the test papers with an average score of over 98 and even full marks, Zhang Jingye felt like a Spartan... So it turns out!In this world, there is no difference between a top student and a bad student. There is only a difference in interests and hobbies!

Friends have good grades, of course they should be rewarded.Zhang Jingye waved her hand: "Please eat hot pot together tonight!"

"Oh, don't waste it! Let's go buy some food and cook!" Zhang Lanlan objected.She knew very well that the farm was spent on Xiao Ye's money from renting land to building a house and hiring people. Zhang Lanlan always regarded the cute and cute Xiao Ye as her own brother, so naturally she didn't want to put him under too much pressure.

"That's right! The hot pot soup base made by Grandma Wang is delicious!" Foodie *an also agreed, "And we cook the pot ourselves, and we can buy more if we want to eat. It's much more cost-effective than going to a hot pot restaurant in the city!" (So ​​your goal is to eat more, right?)

"Uh~~ Okay then! Who's going to buy vegetables?" Seeing that everyone unanimously asked to make hot pot by herself, Zhang Jingye also felt that it would be better to eat at her own home on the farm.

"So, Brother Wei Gang and Lan Lan and I will go shopping in the town together. Brother Pingan, you take A Sheng to buy drinks. Sister Xin and Meng Qing will help Grandma Wang prepare some hand-rolled noodles at home. You can't just eat hot pot." Luo Jin immediately arranged the manpower.

"Wow! Brother Jin, here is 500 yuan, you share it, buy more food and come back, if you can't finish eating, you can continue to eat tomorrow!" Zhang Jingye took out five Grandpa Mao cards and handed them to Luo Jin.

"Enough! What do you like to eat, Xiaoye? Let's buy more!"

"I want to eat mutton rolls and fatty beef!" Foodie *an began to rush to order.

"I didn't ask you!" Luo Jin rolled his eyes at him, this guy is so delicious, he could eat half a cow with his belly open!In the future, I should buy more cheap rice cakes and tofu, and fill him up first.

"Uh~ I can do it. You can ask other people what they like to eat. Anyway, there are a lot of hot pot dishes, so I buy some of them." Zhang Jingye was a little dark, why did everyone treat themselves like children?Well, my current body is indeed only a teenager, and I am really a child!

"Okay then! Brother Pingan, I'll give you the 200 yuan. Go and bring back some Sprite and Coke. Don't buy alcohol! I'll let Mama Wu see that I won't cut you to death!"

"Got it! Don't worry, it's all Xiaoye's private money. I'll save it for my wife, so I won't waste it!" *An joked with a smile.

A group of people rushed away with the negotiated purchase list. Zhang Jingye, Sister Xin, Meng Qing and the others went to the kitchen together to help Grandma Wang prepare the ingredients for the evening.

Grandma Wang is very good at making hot pot bottom ingredients, the key is that her fried bottom ingredients are very fragrant!The ingredients are the same, but the taste she made is different from others. I heard that Grandma Wang's son especially liked to eat her shabu shabu.Since coming to the farm, Grandma Wang has been surrounded by a group of half-grown children, and the grief of losing her husband and children has gradually faded away. , usually racking their brains to prepare delicious food for them. I heard that the children wanted to eat hot pot to celebrate after their exams. Grandma Wang bought authentic spicy peppers from the village and started frying her secret pot base.

Sister Xin and Mengqing found a large stainless steel iron basin and began to make noodles by hand.Zhang Jingye was not idle either, and took out another basin to knead the noodles, preparing to make some small steamed buns and flower rolls, which would be deep-fried later for snacks.

A few hours later, people who went out to purchase came back one after another.Cheng Weigang and the others borrowed a tricycle from the vegetable market, and brought back a large cart full of ingredients, including vermicelli, Chinese cabbage, small green vegetables, bean sprouts, mushrooms, tofu slices and other vegetarian dishes, as well as fatty beef rolls, mutton rolls, chicken Wings, chicken feet, loach, duck blood and other meat dishes.

Brother Pingan and Asheng also borrowed a tricycle and dragged several boxes of Sprite, Cola and orange juice back.After moving the things down, a group of people sent the tricycle back.Others gathered around the yard to help pick and wash vegetables.

In order to save money and prevent accidents, Zhang Jingye has asked someone to drill two wells and install water pumps on the farm. They only raise succulents now, which is fine. When they raise sheep in the future, it is not safe to rely on tap water alone, and they still have their own backup The water source is better.

In the evening, a few people first went to the succulent shed to adjust the temperature and humidity inside, and checked the shed carefully. This used to be a wasteland, and there were many gophers. If the shed was accidentally bitten, it must be found and repaired in time.

After finishing the work, I ran back to the cafeteria and waited for hot pot.Including Grandma Wang and the others, there were a total of 12 people, and there were no separate tables, so two long tables were put together, with a small charcoal stove in the middle, and a mandarin duck pot on it, which Grandma Wang brought from her home.

They are all a group of friends who grew up together in the orphanage. The only adult, Grandma Wang, is a kind old lady. The meal was warm and enjoyable. I opened 10 bags of mutton rolls and washed vegetables. I ate it all, but it wasn't enough, so I ran out to wash a large pot of vegetables, and peeled a dozen potatoes, which made Grandma Wang laugh at them as "half-sized children, eating poor people".

"Grandma, we don't just eat and don't work, Xiaoye, right?" *An's belly bulged from eating, and she leaned on Grandma Wang and acted like a baby.

"You are the only one who can coax people!" Grandma Wang smiled and rubbed his belly for him.

"Okay, don't sit still after eating, be careful of indigestion, stand up and walk around!" Luo Jin began to urge them to stand up and digest.

It's okay anyway, after helping Grandma Wang clean up the kitchen and dining room, a group of people went to the shed to watch succulents.

"Brother Jin, I think the batch of succulents near the side has almost grown, and they will be on the market in a few days. Why don't we use this batch of finished products to find out the market first?" Zhang Jingye looked at the two rows of Chihuahuas beside the greenhouse. , Leather-style Blue Stone Lotus, Dahejin, Dongyun, Qingxing Beauty and Xiong Tongzi said happily.

"Then where shall we sell it? Xiao Ye, have you thought about it yet?"

"I've thought about this. You see that there are a lot of couples shopping in the pedestrian street. Not to mention the vulgarity of always giving roses, the price of a large bouquet of roses is too high, and most people can't afford it. Why don't we go and buy some cute ones? Small flower pots, and then planted with succulents, small and cute, not heavy in the hand, the key is that the price is cheap! Like this bear boy, it costs 15 yuan per seedling, plus 5 yuan for the flower pot Money, the cost price is only 20 yuan, we sell it for 50 yuan, someone must buy it!"

"Wow! Doesn't that mean you can earn 30 yuan by selling a pot?!" He Sheng said in surprise.

"It can't all be sold so expensive. The skin-shaped blue stone lotus will be sold cheaper. With a flower pot, it costs 30 yuan a pot, but the earning is not less than that of Xiong Tongzi. It reproduces quickly and the price of seedlings is also cheap." Relatively cheap, about 5 yuan a piece, plus the flower pot, the cost price is at most 10 yuan, and you can earn 20 yuan by selling a pot."

"However, this kind of jelly Dongyun is more expensive," Zhang Jingye said, pointing to a few jelly Dongyun beside the greenhouse. "Such a mature seedling costs 60 yuan for the seedling alone. At least 100 yuan is worth it, I suggest that these should not be sold for the time being, and when they grow longer, the old piles will be more expensive, and if they are assembled into pots, they can be sold for at least three to five hundred."

"Wow! So expensive?" Cheng Weigang, who was in charge of the maintenance of the succulents, was so panicked that he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet.By the way, yesterday he was watering them vigorously with the shower, wouldn't it spoil it?This small piece, according to what Xiao Ye said, is enough to buy a small pickup truck when you grow old!

"It's okay! I'll raise it for you!" Zhang Xin comforted him by touching him lightly.A few days ago, when Zhang Jingye went to the city to buy books, she bought a book on vocalization training for the hearing-impaired for Sister Xin. Several people practiced vocalization with her every day when they had time. Now, Zhang Xin can almost speak common words. It's just that the pronunciation is a little strange, but everyone didn't dislike her, and always helped her correct it over and over again. Among them, Cheng Weigang took the most care of her, so the two of them had the best relationship.

"Well, let's go out and try these kinds this time. Tomorrow, Brother Sheng, you guys will accompany me to buy flower pots!" Zhang Jingye pointed to the Chihuahua, leather-style blue stone lotus, and Dahe brocade beside the greenhouse. , Dong Yun, Qingxing Beauty and Xiong Tongzi are all fleshy and said.
