Chapter 841
Chapter 841
Man Bao sat with Mrs. Tang for a long time and got a list of powerful or rich ladies who like peonies in Yizhou city.
When man Bao left the county government, he hired an ox cart to go out of the city.
There was a florist outside the city. Man Bao stopped a long way from the flower field, gave the hired coachman a dime and said, "please go to the village and buy me two pots of peony flowers. You want red, regardless of variety, and something better. I'll wait for my brother here. You can pick me up here later."
The coachman hesitated, "don't you go and see the flowers yourself?"
"No, just buy what you see. It's red. There's no big requirement. After buying two pots, the remaining money will be your errand fee."
As soon as the coachman heard this, he immediately picked up the money and rushed to the car. Man Bao said, "leave the car. My brother will load things later."
The coachman looked at man Bao suspiciously. Man Bao smiled and said, "don't worry, I won't take your cow and go. I'm a doctor in the Jishi hall. If you don't believe it, I can give you a deposit of three Liang silver. How about it?"
The coachman hesitated for a moment, and then said sheepishly, "the little lady should give me a deposit of three Liang silver. I, my cow, is the guy who eats at home."
Man Bao said he understood and took three Liang silver from his purse to him.
Seeing that he was gone, man Bao sat on the ox cart and slightly closed his eyes to sink his consciousness into the system. "Keke, help me contact the merchant who sold flowers last time."
Koko asked, "the host wants to..."
"I want to buy some more flowers," man Bao said. "I just talked to Mrs. Tang. I know that white peony is really common in peonies. My pot, the pot in the flower shop in the flower market, dares to bid such a high price because its color is pure enough."
"In addition to the white peony, Yao Huang, Wei Zi, and Erqiao, these peony varieties are the most expensive."
While talking, he had already contacted the florist seller. Man Bao directly asked Keke to reply for her, "describe Yao Huang, Wei Zi and ER Qiao to him. These three kinds, like me, as long as there is only one pot of flowers, I don't care whether they are different or not. We should have the same color as ours, and 20 pots of pure white peonies. It's best to be similar to the one taken by the Yizhou Palace this morning."
Keke made a request with the seller according to the facts.
These are not difficult for sellers. They are not a problem for the future world, design, color and size. They can be realized by means of scientific and technological cultivation.
What is difficult to achieve is to stabilize plant genes.
This kind of exotic species that can only be cultivated through scientific and technological means can basically only maintain the balance of the second generation. By the third generation, there will be gene imbalance, and 99.99% of the flowers with gene imbalance will be ugly.
The algebra of flowers is calculated according to the flowering period. If a pot of flowers blooms twice a year, its genes will collapse the next year, which is very uncomfortable for people who like to raise flowers.
Therefore, what people in the future pursue is ancient species with stable genes. They are difficult to cultivate. They don't look good without dissimilarity, and their colors are not bright and colorful. This is not a problem. As long as they can keep a pot of flowers for ten or eight years, and they are better year by year, that sense of achievement is enough for them to be happy for ten or eight years.
Because I guess man Bao's identity, the seller is willing to serve man Bao wholeheartedly. He always gets more things from man Bao when he thinks you're familiar with me.
Even though he hasn't thought of a way to bypass the main system of the star network and trade with manbao, people always think of a way, don't they?
Most of all, he has to entertain the only guest.
So when man Bao asked him to seal the flowers in a wooden box and mail them, he did so without overcharging man Bao's packaging fee.
You know, wooden boxes are not cheap.
After losing money and doing this business with man Bao, the seller can finally say something personal with man Bao, "are you going to plant these flowers yourself or sell them?"
"Sell it. What's the matter?"
"Nothing, just to remind you that these flowers may become ugly after they bloom next year, so you'd better change a place next year, otherwise someone will come to the door to settle accounts."
Man Bao: "OK, I wrote it down."
The seller mailed the packaged flowers and said to man Bao with a smile as usual, "come to me next time you want to buy flowers. My family runs a big farm and grows all kinds of flowers."
Man Bao also thinks it's good to cooperate with him. In addition to what Koko said, he likes to lie.
Man Bao received two large boxes and a medium box. She looked around and asked Koko, "is there anyone nearby?"
"There is no one within 800 meters."
Man Bao took out the boxes with confidence and just let them stack on the car.
When the coachman came back with two potted flowers, he saw that three boxes had been stacked on the ox cart, and man Bao sat on the shaft shaking his legs.
The coachman ran over and asked, "is this?"
"This is the flower my brother bought. He still has something to do. Don't go with us first, uncle. You can send me and things back first."
The coachman handed the two pots of peony flowers to man Bao, scratched his head and asked, "since your brother has gone to buy flowers, why do you ask me to buy flowers?"
"I took these two pots of flowers as gifts, but my brother bought them for others. They are different."
The coachman understood at once and said with a smile, "is it because your brother is not willing to pay for flowers for you and you bought them secretly?"
Man Bao smiled and didn't answer.
The coachman gave the deposit to man Bao and then drove back to the city.
When man Bao returned home, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had already gone home from school early. He and Bai Erlang learned from Zhou Lijun what had happened in the morning. They were all a little angry. Seeing man Bao trotting in the door, they wanted to comfort her.
When man Bao saw their eyes brighten, he waved and said, "you're just at home. Come out and help me move things. Daji, my fourth brother, call him out to help."
Daji called Shiro and went out with the crowd. When he saw three boxes on the ox cart, they were not like their four-sided ones, but long, just like a coffin, except that the top one was shorter.
Zhou Silang looked at him and asked, "who makes boxes like that?"
The coachman coughed softly and said, "well, do you think this box looks strange?"
In fact, he wanted to say it when he saw it at the beginning, but manbao was a guest. He couldn't say it, so he held it all the way.
Zhou Silang did not care about man Bao's face. He nodded and said, "it's more than strange. Man Bao, who made this box for you?"
