Chapter 79 Water Lily Pole
Author: Songhuadan Superman
The lotus represents fertility and happiness, and the lotus represents pure love. Together with the lily as the main flower material, it has this meaning, and it can please people even if it doesn’t look good.
Chen Yufei gave a thumbs up to Jiang Ancheng, even prouder than himself, "Brother Niu is awesome!"
They have only been in the flower business for a short time, and a simple bouquet of flowers can produce so many tricks. If they don't get rich, who can get rich?
As soon as they came out of the yard, they noticed a lot of peeping eyes.
In the past two days, cars have been parked at the gate of the courtyard frequently. It is impossible not to attract attention.
Chen Yufei frowned and said worriedly: "Brother, no one will try to take advantage of us, right? You should be more careful at night. The city is different from our village. Even the dogs don't know if there are robbers."
Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Well, I know, you should pay attention to safety when you go back."
"good."
Jiang Ancheng walked around the market for a while, and there were many vendors selling flowers.
Most of them are relatively common wild flowers or garden flowers, such as lilies, daisies, gardenias, horseshoe roses, hydrangeas, etc.
They all followed Jiang Ancheng's example and piled bundles of flowers on the ground to sell, but they didn't know that some relatively fragile flowers would quickly fall off after lack of water.
Even if you take it back and give it water, you can't save it.
As soon as Jiang Ancheng turned around, he heard the woman who bought a bouquet of flowers and returned them to return the flowers said: "No, it's all gone before I put it in the vase when I took it back."
The woman was holding a large bunch of hydrangea in her hand, with several ya petals of different colors all wrinkled and rolled up.
If flowers of this level are returned, they will definitely not be sold.
The vendor refused to back out, saying that the woman squeezed her out on purpose.
They quarreled, and the other flower sellers around them became even more anxious.
Everyone got a bunch of miscellaneous flowers from the mountain people and swarmed here to sell them. After Jiang Ancheng and the few buyers snatched them away, the retail investors in the market were not interested in the flowers at all.
If they want to sell, they must either go to retail in person or find customers who are willing to wholesale flowers.
Jiang Ancheng was able to attract vendors to buy goods, and Shao Xuebao's big fanfare of buying ninety-nine flowers played a big role.
But such big buyers don’t come around every day.
What's more, they don't know how to cover expenses, and they don't even get a cool and stylish tricycle.
Luo Sheng specially went to Caixia Town to buy flowers, originally hoping to grow into a big fat man in one go.
Who would have expected that after spending half a day in the market, two large bundles would be sold!
Flowers and vegetables are of the same virtue and never last long. He collected too many and they were so densely packed together that his heart could not breathe.
Especially when he got the news that Boss Hua had stopped collecting mushrooms, he felt even more depressed.
If the car cannot be sold, it will suffer a huge loss.
On the other hand, Jiang Ancheng, who was leisurely strolling in the market, did not accept the flowers, but it turned out to be a good thing.
Luo Sheng was a businessman. After thinking about it, he couldn't sell it in the market, so he drove the car to the city center and sold it to passers-by at the wholesale price.
If it goes well, you can make a lot of money.
But there is no experience to consider. Flowers lose moisture faster than vegetables. They are densely squeezed together. The weather is so hot and they are exposed to the sun. Even if the flowers on the top are sold, the flowers below are also ruined.
Whenever Luo Sheng's expression stopped when he saw that he wanted to eat people, Jiang Ancheng would be compassionate and give Luo Sheng a warning. Unfortunately, Luo Sheng did not have this blessing.
As the truck drove out of the market, Jiang Ancheng's eyes fell on a vegetable stall.
The boss is a scrawny old man with white temples. His stall is equipped with water lily poles, lotus root strips, lotus pods, lotus roots, a bucket of lotus leaves and lotus flowers tied with grass leaves.
The lotus flowers in the bucket are as tender as plump round peaches, which can be admired in a vase. For flower-eating Yuncheng people, their minds are full of fried lotus flowers, lotus fried meat, and lotus scrambled eggs.
Jiang Ancheng walked over, picked up a bundle of double lotus flowers and looked at them. The old man raised his head slowly and said unhurriedly: "It's fresh and delicious. Would you like a bundle?"
When summer arrives in Yuncheng, there are a lot of edible vegetables and flowers. These double lotus flowers are very fresh, but no one has cared about them for a long time.
The old man spoke with an air of age and weakness. Jiang Ancheng nodded, "I want two bundles."
Under the cover of the lotus leaves, there were two large lotus pods with flower stalks. Jiang Ancheng also took them together.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the water lily poles sold by the old man, and Jiang Ancheng asked, "Do you still have water lilies at your uncle's house?"
The old man's ears weren't very good either. Jiang Ancheng repeated it twice before the old man picked up the water lily pole and said, "There are a lot of them. If you want more, I'll get them for you."
He thought Jiang Ancheng wanted the water lily pole.
Water lily is a very beautiful ornamental flower, known as the water spirit. In modern times, it is also called the civil servant among flowers, because it will automatically close up at night to get off work.
In the eyes of the people of Yuncheng, in addition to being beautiful and edible, the tubers are also natural dyes. A local ethnic minority likes to use water lily tubers to print and dye cloth. In the next few decades, it was also included in the
Intangible inheritance.
Jiang Ancheng waved his hand and said loudly: "I want to buy some water lilies! Its flowers!"
The old man reacted for a moment, then frowned and said, "Don't you have flowers in your hand?" Then he kindly said, "Water lily flowers are not delicious, they are astringent."
The lotus emerges from the mud unstained, and its flowers are pure and beautiful in color. However, the flowering period is very short. Once they bloom, they will immediately shed their petals.
Compared with lotus, water lilies are more enchanting in color and have a refreshing fragrance. As long as they are properly maintained, the curing period of cut flowers can be at least a week. They are a common hot-selling item in summer flower shops.
Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "I don't want to eat it, so I just show it. Can I get some?"
Of course the old man was happy and said happily: "Okay, okay, when do you want it? Do you want a lot?"
Jiang Ancheng thought for a while, "Can a hundred of them do it?" He then said, "I will also buy you some more lotus flowers and lotus pods, one hundred of them."
Lotus flowers and lotus pods are wrapped into bouquets, and you can eat them after admiring them. Women who are reluctant to buy flowers think about buying them as vegetables, so that they can pay with peace of mind.
"Okay, okay, you can't spare me."
Jiang Ancheng took out five yuan and said, "Deposit!" He emphasized: "I want the flower stems to be this long, not too short. The lotus and water lily must be fresh. If they are too big, it won't cost anything."
The old man recited it several times and wrote down: "Okay, okay, then I will wait for you here tomorrow?"
Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Well, what time will uncle arrive?"
"Five o'clock."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow morning."
Jiang Ancheng made it clear that he was leaving, but the old man suddenly stopped him, stood up with his rickety body, and gave him two bundles of water lily sticks, "Take them to eat."
Jiang Ancheng couldn't refuse, so he had to accept.
Speaking of which, he had never eaten water lily sticks and didn't know what they tasted like.
