Red House Farm Stay

"What's going on..." Jia Zhuo ran to the backyard, didn't finish speaking, and stood there, stunned.

what did she see?

Just under the ladder where she planted succulents, a potted plant with a unique shape was divided into three layers according to her imagination. The bottom layer was covered with soil, and a large green fairy tree was planted.A red lip is occasionally planted in the middle of the fairy tree, and the inner part is paved with small white stones to create a remote and peaceful atmosphere.

"The lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun." Jia Zhuo subconsciously read this poem.He heard a chuckle from behind her.

"It seems that the difficulty I set is too low."

"It's better than I imagined." Jia Zhuo's tears were almost overflowing, and she didn't know why she was so excited.

"Your hands were not originally used for doing these things. Although I can't make you do nothing, you should leave this kind of manual work to me in the future." Baner turned out to wash his hands, and his hands smelled The faint aftertaste of soap locust, reaching out to wipe a tear from the corner of her eye, hesitated again.

Jia Zhuo grabbed his hand and wiped it on the corner of his eyes, then he swung his hand pretending to be proud, and said in a rough voice, "You are so skillful, I will be a long-term worker for this girl in the future."

"Oh, how long is a long-term worker? Is it as long as a lifetime?" Ban'er pursed his lips and laughed.

"You've learned badly." Jia Zhuo gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and immediately covered his face as soon as he turned his head.My God, Qing'er has been here all this time, how could she completely forget about it.

"You go ahead, just pretend I don't exist." Qing'er squatted on the ground all the time, looking up at them with her little head up, immediately lowered her head to look at the potted plants.

The second floor is covered with lover's tears, and a few thin and tall porcelain pieces are specially polished to support the lover's tears higher, with brightly colored rubies underneath.

"What is this?" Jia Zhuo squeezed his chin and couldn't think out.

"The crystal curtain moves and the breeze blows, and the roses are all over the frame." Ban'er stepped forward to shake a lover's tears whose head was a little crooked, and slowly uttered this sentence.

It happened that there was a slight movement, and the lover's tears swayed gently, really like a curtain moving and a breeze blowing.

The top layer is what Jia Zhuo had thought long ago, and it will be the top of the mountain, looking at all the mountains and small ones.

A cluster of small ox horns stands on the top floor. Of course, the small ox horns have been renamed Shiwan Dashan by Jia Zhuo.Just like the Bachelor Tree before, Jia Zhuo also renamed it the Immortal Tree.

"Everyone should be able to guess it." Jia Zhuo began to feel a little embarrassed again. Her original idea was to find a way to store this potted plant in the largest calligraphy and painting shop for an event, and guessed that each of the three floors took Which poem will send potted plants to each other.

But now even she doesn't think it's difficult, especially for those literati.

"Everyone can guess, it doesn't matter, what we want is more people to know." Ban'er thinks this is not a problem, "Put it on for a month, let people guess and write down the poems and names, and on the last day they will guess correctly." Pick out all the people and choose one to give a potted plant, and for the others, you can also give a succulent plant."

Jia Zhuo thought it was feasible, so he stretched out his hand, but Ban'er was a little dazed, but Qing'er couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Ban'er's hand and slapped Jia Zhuo.

Ban'er looked at them amusedly, "You can't push a cart to sell this, why don't I tell dad to take back the shop."

"No, we'll just rent a small shop near our home and hire a guy to look after the shop. Besides, we don't know if the business will be good." Jia Zhuo was full of confidence before, but now he began to worry about gain and loss again.

"It will definitely be good. This kind of plant is no more elegant than red fruit." Ban'er thought to himself, the head of the mountain loves chrysanthemums very much, and there are two pots of green chrysanthemums given by former students, and they are said to be worth a thousand dollars.Anything, as long as there is a "elegant" word on it, it will naturally have a value.

"It's just that it's the name." Ban'er said bluntly, "Although the name Suorou looks impressive, it's not very nice."

"Then change it, it's more fleshy, so it's better to be called Doro." Jia Zhuo followed the good advice and immediately changed his name.

"Duoluo is pretty good. It sounds like it came from a foreign land. You don't need to change the fairy grass, lover's tears, or a hundred thousand mountains. The red lips and ruby ​​​​are also good enough." Ban'er decided on the name.

Ban'er and Jia Zhuo took potted plants to find the largest calligraphy and painting workshop in Wannian County. Ban'er was wearing the standard long gown in the college. Although Xiaoer didn't know what he wanted to do with the shopkeeper, he called the shopkeeper out as he said. reception.

"Do you want to sell this potted plant?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. This thing is very unique. If you buy it for someone who likes to tend flowers and plants, it should be able to sell for a good price.

"It's not for sale, but I want to store it with you, or we rent it out to you, and you can use it to attract customers. We also hope that more people will see it." Ban'er put down the potted plants, and talked with the shopkeeper. discuss.

"Consignment, how much money do you plan to sell, and how to divide the account." The shopkeeper often encounters this kind of thing, as long as it is elegant, there is no problem with the source, and he is willing to pay more.

"It's not a consignment. This potted plant is intended to be given away, but it needs to be..." Ban'er told the shopkeeper his idea.

As soon as he heard that it was going to be on display for a month and it was not sold yet, the shopkeeper's expression turned a little ugly.It's just a potted plant, even if he rents your place out of money, how much can he charge?What if it is broken and broken within a month?

Thinking of this, a bit of rejection appeared on his face.Jia Zhuo was anxious, but she had no better way.If it can attract customers, this is already the largest calligraphy and painting workshop in Wannian County. Everyone knows that there is really no need for one of their potted plants to attract customers.On the contrary, their potted plants are actually aimed at the source of customers.

"Well, this guest will go back first, and let me discuss with the owner." The shopkeeper said very politely, but both Ban'er and Jia Zhuo knew in their hearts that this was a polite refusal.

"If it's the price, it's actually negotiable." Jia Zhuo couldn't help but add.

"Yes, I will tell my boss." The shopkeeper's voice was still gentle, but his perfunctory attitude became more obvious.

"Otherwise, let's look for another place." Jia Zhuo walked out of the door of the calligraphy and painting workshop, looked at other shops on this street, and thought that it would be a big deal to walk around.

"I'll go, you go home and rest." Ban'er didn't want Jia Zhuo to follow along.

"Let's go together." Jia Zhuo took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat while holding the potted plant.Muttering in his mouth, "What season is this? It's still so hot."

Ban'er lowered his head to let her wipe his sweat, and just smiled. He has been afraid of heat since he was a child. Everyone else wears jackets, and he only needs a single coat.

A carriage passed by in front of them, and the curtain was opened a crack, and a sigh and a smile were metaphors for it.

Li Rong's sigh and Wu Yan's smile formed a strange atmosphere in the carriage, Wu Yan said to the boy in front of him, "Go down and ask, see what's going on?"

"Don't..." Li Rong frowned, but the servant had already jumped out of the car, and even put the words of the young mistress before the young master.

"Can't you understand?" Wu Yan laughed.

"What does this have to do with you?" Li Rong became angry and raised his voice, "Don't push yourself too hard, you can do whatever you want with the love of your grandparents. You have to figure it out, I am your husband, I..."

"If you let me live, I will live, and if you let me die, I will die, I know." Wu Yan was still smiling, as if she didn't mind at all, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.

"You..." Li Rong couldn't bear her like this the most, she was already ugly, but she was not submissive, how could he like her.

The carriage walked for a while, and stopped outside a calligraphy and painting workshop in the middle of the road. Li Rong jumped out of the carriage, not caring about Wu Yan behind.Wu Yan didn't mind either, she got out of the car and walked into her calligraphy and painting workshop.

All the gifts from the Li family returned to the Li family along with Wu Yan as part of the dowry. Wu Yan used the money to open a calligraphy and painting workshop, saying that she would use the money she earned to support her mother and would not drag the Li family down. .

Mother Wu did abide by the dignity of an in-law. Every time she came to the door, she tried her best to buy gifts, and never asked for things from her in-laws or her daughter.

"Your dowry shop, what do you want me to do?" Li Rong had to pick three points if he had nothing to do, and when he went to drink tea in the inner room, he had a fit.

"Didn't you agree to pretend to come to the shop with my concubine so that my master could meet friends halfway? I have been waiting to see you off, but who knows that my master followed me in."

Wu Yan had an expression that I had seen through a long time ago, and that you would not leave until the servant came back to report, which made Li Rong extremely embarrassed, and sat down on the bench, "Can I still come to your dowry shop?"

"Of course it's worth it." Li Rong followed his words and finally waited for the servant to return.

"Originally there was such a thing. Miss Jia is very intelligent, and the potted plants she brought out must be good things."

While Wu Yan was speaking, she turned her head to Li Rong. Li Rong really looked at her expectantly, but seeing her gaze, he pretended to be aggressive and said, "Why are you looking at me, anyway, grandfather likes this kind of thing , should you buy it to honor your grandfather?"

"Didn't you understand? What they want is not to sell things." Wu Yan shook her head, beckoned the servants over and ordered, "Go invite them and ask the shopkeeper to accept them."

"You, you..." Li Rong stood up excitedly, stood at the door and wanted to go out, but didn't dare to go out.

"If you don't want people to leave, just stay inside." Wu Yan asked the shopkeeper to come in and give some instructions, and then asked him to bring in the account book, and she just looked through it here.

Ban'er and Jia Zhuo couldn't believe their good luck until they negotiated terms with the shopkeeper.They went to several stores, and some were willing to buy it, and some were willing to share the bill, but no one was willing to let them deposit it.

The shopkeeper of one family spoke the most directly. How could others be willing to do this kind of thing that seemed to be making a name for themselves.Calligraphy and painting workshops are all engaged in the business of literati and refined scholars, and they pay attention to the quiet and clean environment. If they really attract people to come to see potted plants, their business may not necessarily improve.

Unless it is some newly opened stores, or stores with poor business, it is still possible to accept.Anyway, they don't have regular customers, but they hope to use this method to attract some popularity.

They also know this truth, but there are no new stores on this street.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out of the fifth store, they were led here by the staff.It was only then that Ban'er found out that this Suyunfang had changed owners. Their owner just heard what they said to the shopkeeper in other stores, and thought it was a good way to attract customers.

So I would like to invite them to put it in Suyunfang, and I am willing to cooperate with their activities.

When Jia Zhuo was standing in Suyunfang, he always felt a gaze looking at him from behind, but when he looked back, he saw only a curtain, obviously it was a private room for receiving distinguished guests.

"I don't know if I can let me personally thank your family for your help." The shopkeeper didn't ask for their money at all, but was willing to help them arrange it for free.So Ban'er politely asked the shopkeeper, wanting to thank the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper glanced at the direction of the private room, and said after a while: "Our boss left after giving orders, maybe we will meet in the future."

"Then thank the boss for us." Jia Zhuofu saluted, and the shopkeeper stepped aside quickly, refusing to accept her gift.

When they walked out, Jia Zhuo whispered to Ban'er, "Do you feel something is wrong?"

"The owner should be in the private room, do you know him?" Ban'er also realized something was wrong, but after counting, they couldn't think of who the owner would be.

As soon as they left, Li Rong couldn't wait to come out of the private room, and walked to the potted plant in three steps at a time.After staring at the potted plants for a long time, Wu Yan also slowly stepped forward.

"Such flowers and plants are really rare, I don't know where they come from."

"Bring a pen and paper." Li Rong ignored what Wu Yan said, but was the first to write down three poems and put them into a wooden box.

Wu Yan said to the shopkeeper: "Send a post to old customers, that is, our family has a new batch of good paper, [-]% off for old customers."

"[-]% off?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised.

Li Rong finally raised his head and looked at Wu Yan with a complicated expression. The profit of the paper was not high, and this batch of paper was a good thing that Wu Yan had finally snatched from others.If you are willing to go out with a [-]% discount, it can only be used to attract customers and create momentum for the potted plants of the Wang family.

"I'll pay you back the price difference." Li Rong chased Wu Yan out.

"No, I'm not doing it for you." Wu Yan got into the carriage and said to the driver in a very chic manner: "Go home, don't worry about the young master, he has his own place to go."

He left Li Rong alone and left alone.

The servant tiptoed over, "Master, you..."

"Go away." Li Rong returned to the shop angrily, he didn't go anywhere, and sat here to take a good look at the potted plant.Thinking that it might have been planted by Jia Zhuo himself, it was like a feather got into his heart, scratching and scratching in his heart.

"Master Xu and Master Mo are here." The boy came in and reported.

"What's so exciting to look at, yo, it's really a good thing." Seeing the potted plants, Xu Shouzi couldn't stop praising, "Sister-in-law really knows how to buy good things. How much money does it cost? I bought it."

Mo Hunzi at the side didn't see what's so good about this thing at all, so he could only agree with embarrassment, "The color is bright."

"Not for sale." Li Rong didn't want to say more, and dragged the two of them out, "Let's go and have a drink."

"Fatty Shi sent a letter." Skinny Xu finally healed himself after drinking the dregs of bitter medicine for several months and being locked up for a few more months.He figured it out for himself, he was scolded by Wang Tianzuo, but he had better not speak up without evidence.Otherwise, he will be locked up as a lunatic again.

"He and Yuan Ziwen became classmates again." Fatty Xu took Li Rong's shoulders to Mo Hunzi's restaurant.

They originally studied in the same school, but the four of them were kicked out early, and Yuan Ziwen left later.Unexpectedly, by mistake, both of them went to Chaoping Mansion, and after a circle, they became classmates again.

"You should know about Yuan Ziwen's daughter-in-law." This matter is almost a joke in Wannian County, of course Li Rong knows.

"Who doesn't know about this, what exactly do you want to say?" Li Rong drank the wine and felt that he was very drunk today.

"You don't know, it's his daughter-in-law who messed with Wang Tianzuo's younger sister, and the other beautiful one is the one who lied to you." Fatty Xu didn't dare to show any strangeness to the Wang family outside, so as not to take him as a fool again. Crazy, but he prefers to inquire about the Wang family.

As long as it is related to Wang Tianzuo, he must find out.This time, it was assumed that Yuan Ziwen went to sue Prince Zhongshun's followers for an oolong, offending someone for nothing.Only he insisted on finding out that it was Li Xiaojia who failed to make a move on Jia Zhuo first, and then had the oolong incident.

Fatty Xu didn't think it was a coincidence, he squinted his eyes and looked at Li Rong, "I'm sure it's their fault again."

Li Rong's eyelids twitched, and he frowned, "A poisonous woman like Li Xiaojia also wants Yuan Ziwen, she has such an enmity with the Wang family that she can do such a thing."

"Did you make a mistake? You won't still be holding that girl from the Wang family." Fatty Xu looked at Li Rong with a strange expression on his face.

Li Rongsu said: "What are you talking about, I am married. Besides, this is not a poisonous woman, you still think she has a reason."

Fatty Xu certainly didn't dare to say that he wished for Li Xiaojia's success, so he could only shrink his neck, "Forget it, forget it, I'm just saying, I'm still thinking about telling Fatty Shi about it."

"What are you talking about? You think that Fatty Shi's life is too good. He is not as good as before. The old man is now trying to control their house. He is not going to study, but he is going to take care of general affairs and do some things. Let's make a living." Li Rong stopped Fatty Xu, not allowing him to disturb Fatty Shi with these things.

"Oh, I used to be carefree, but in a blink of an eye, it all changed." Fatty Xu missed the days when the four of them walked side by side on the street, bragging and beating up their free time.

Mo Hunzi had already studied with the shopkeeper in the restaurant, and when he took them to the private room, he disappeared without a trace.

Li Rong looked at Fatty Xu, the loneliness in his eyes was so obvious.He smiled wryly, why didn't he miss the past.If he went back to the past, he would rather...

No, he denied it himself again, he would rather be in such pain than forget her.

"What are you thinking about?" Fatty Xu abducted Li Rong with his elbow, "I'm going to tell my father that I'm not a student anyway, so I might as well learn to do business with my third uncle."

"Your third uncle, didn't you form a caravan to bring silk tea leaves to Andu Mansion for fur?" Li Rong thought for a while, and seemed to have a slight impression.

"Yes, I just want to go out for a walk, follow the caravan to see around and gain some knowledge, it's better than staying here and being angry." Although no one showed it publicly, many people secretly pointed Xu Shouzi and regarded him as a lunatic. Even the marriage has been hindered, and he has been holding his breath in his heart. Reading is definitely not going to work, so he might as well try another way out.

"That's fine, just think of it as going out to relax." Li Rong nodded. With his grandparents around, he would definitely not be able to travel far, so he couldn't help but envy Xu Shouzi very much.

Ban'er and Jia Zhuo returned home in relaxed suits, and began to calculate whether their succulents were enough to give away.

"I'll build a shelf tomorrow, level the vegetable garden in this area, set up two shelves, and make a few large flower pots to breed succulents." Ban'er is planning the place in the backyard, and he is good at carpentry. Things can be done when said and done.

"I need to buy some pots and pots." Jia Zhuo remembered that pots are the most suitable for growing succulents.

"There are many clay pots, and they are very cheap. Let's go shopping for some tomorrow." Pottery pots are made of clay. Although they are fired like porcelain, there is a big difference.

It can be said that porcelain is developed from pottery, and its finer and more demanding requirements are higher.Pottery is much simpler and more extensive. Of course, the shape cannot be so beautiful and smooth, but because of this, pottery is more breathable.It is more suitable for breeding succulents, and most importantly, it is also cheap enough.

Sure enough, there were a lot of clay pots, but there were none that Jia Zhuo wanted. She gestured to show the size of the pots to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's mouth was about to burst into laughter.

"It's so small, it's not bad for drinking, how can it be used as a flowerpot?"

Jia Zhuo went to several shops, feeling disappointed, but one shop said, "If you want more, you can make it to order."

Yes, it can also be customized. Jia Zhuo quickly drew the shape. She asked for the simplest bowl shape. Each bowl is only the size of a fist. It is not too big to put one meaty bowl, and it is not too small to put three or five bowls.

"One hundred, when will it be delivered?" Ban'er asked.

"I'll get it in half a month." The shopkeeper happily agreed, and finally sold it at the price of three pennies each.

"What color will it be when it is fired?" Jia Zhuo suddenly thought of this, pottery is no different from porcelain, it seems to be the original color of clay when it is fired.

"Don't be afraid, let's go buy dyes." Ban'er explained to Jia Zhuo that pottery pots could be dyed.

"Then you can still paint?" Jia Zhuo grabbed Ban'er's hand, "I suddenly realized that using porcelain was a mistake, let's go back quickly."

Jia Zhuo ran back angrily and changed the bowl into a tube. The mouth of the tube was still the size of a fist, but the body of the tube was as high as two fists stacked.In this way, there is enough space for people to write inscriptions or draw pictures.Although the store raised the price by one penny each, Jia Zhuo did not hesitate to replace it with a cylindrical pottery pot.
