Xu Shiyan took his father-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister with him and brought a lot of mushrooms, fungus, dried vegetables and other things.
We then went to the store to buy some milk powder, canned food, etc., and went to Mr. Chu's place together.
Mr. Chu had been stationed in the camp for more than eight years and was very familiar with Su Weizhong. Naturally, he was very happy to see his old friend.
Everyone sat here for a while. Mr. Chu originally wanted to keep Xu Shiyan and the others here for lunch, but Xu Shiyan refused.
They arrived suddenly, and the nanny failed to prepare in advance. The temporary meal was left out, causing trouble for them.
Xu Shiyan said that he would stay in the provincial capital for a few days and come back when he had time.
At noon, four people had dinner outside.
In the afternoon, Su Weizhong returned to the hotel to rest. Xu Shiyan took Su Anying and Xu Shiqin to the store to buy some things needed for hospitalization.
Xu Shiyan asked Chi Hao and said that after this operation, he would be hospitalized for about 20 days before he could be discharged and go home to recuperate.
In this case, it is no longer worth renting a house, so just stay in a hotel and save the trouble.
In the evening, Xu Shiyan accompanied Xu Shiqin in the hospital, while Su Anying and Su Weizhong stayed in the hotel.
Early the next morning, Su Anying brought Su Weizhong to the hospital. Xu Shiyan found the doctor on duty, drew blood from Su Weizhong and sent it to the laboratory.
The results won't be available until 10 a.m., so there's no need to wait here.
The four of them went out to have breakfast together, and then Xu Shian arranged for Su Weizhong to go back to rest, while he bought some things and went to see Uncle Zhang.
By coincidence, Uncle Zhang hasn't gone to the park to play chess yet, and is preparing to leave at home.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were surprised when they saw Xu Shiyan coming in carrying something.
"Hey, you, it's Xiao Xu. When did you come to the provincial capital? Come on, come in, come in. Come in." Uncle Zhang warmly greeted Xu Shiyan to come in and sit down.
"I arrived yesterday morning. My sister has just been settled in the hospital. I came here to visit my uncle and aunt this morning.
This is something I bought just now, don't mind it." Xu Shiyan followed into the room and put the things on the table.
"Oh, look at you, you can come as soon as you come, what else do you have to bring?
How long can you live in the provincial capital this time? Can you still live in the West Room? If you want to live there, I will ask your aunt to pack it up quickly."
When Uncle Zhang saw those things, he couldn't help but be polite.
"Uncle, I can't stay long this time, I have to go back in three to five days.
My wife and husband came here together, and my sister doesn’t have to stay in the hospital for a long time for this surgery, so I won’t stay in your house."
Xu Shiyan explained with a smile while looking at Uncle Zhang's house.
In a year's time, Uncle Zhang's house has basically remained the same. The only change is that there is an extra pot of Clivia on the windowsill.
"Young, uncle, you have bought another pot of Clivia? What kind of variety is it? Is it expensive?"
Xu Shiyan glanced at the Clivia, and it didn't seem to be a special variety.
"It's expensive, so why isn't it expensive? This basin, let me tell you, costs more than seven hundred yuan.
I bought this in the spring, but now you see, it’s even more expensive.
This year, the price of Clivia has increased a lot compared to last year. Looking at the situation, I guess it will continue to increase."
When he mentioned Clivia, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but grin.
He bought it in the spring, and now someone is offering a pot of it for 1,000 yuan, but he is reluctant to sell it.
Looking at this trend, it still needs to go up. How can I make money by selling it?
"Uncle, that's what happened. When I came back, I brought two pots of Clivia.
You also know that my sister’s surgery will cost a lot of money, so I’m thinking of finding a place to sell it. Is there any way, uncle? Can you help me?”
This is the real purpose of Xu Shiyan coming here.
If the weather is warm, there is no need to look for anyone. As soon as Xu Shiyan carries Clivia to the other side of Hongqi Road, many people will bid for it.
But when is it now? At the end of October, the weather turns cold, and there aren’t many people in those street markets.
Even if there is someone, when the weather is cold, he can still hold the bare Clivia in his arms? Then why not freeze the flowers?
Xu Shiyan was not very familiar with the provincial capital, so he could only ask locals to help introduce him.
As soon as he heard that Xu Shiyan had brought two pots of clivia, Uncle Zhang's eyes widened.
"Two pots of Clivia? Hey, those are treasures now.
It's a pity that all the money I have is spent, otherwise I would have bought it."
Uncle Zhang couldn't help but sigh, the money in his hand was still too little. If he had more money, he would have collected the flowers Xu Shiyan brought.
"You want to sell flowers, right? I know the place, and I don't have anything to do today, so I'll take you around?
I know quite a few places, let’s go.”
Uncle Zhang is a warm-hearted person, and he helps introduce business, which also brings benefits, so of course he is happy.
Just like that, Uncle Zhang followed Xu Shiyan out of the house and went to the hotel to get flowers first.
When he saw that the Clivia was packed in a flower basket with cotton or something surrounding it to keep warm, Uncle Zhang nodded.
You can see that he is a careful person. Although it is not too cold in the provincial capital at this time, he cannot be careless. If the leaves are damaged by the freeze, it will be in vain.
At this time, there were not many stores specifically selling Clivia in the provincial capital.
Uncle Zhang led Xu Shiyan through the streets and alleys of the city, and walked around for a long time to a courtyard.
There was a flower shed set up in the yard of that house.
When Xu Shiyan looked at the flower shed, he knew that there must be a lot of clivias there.
"Old man, are you at home? I've got a business introduction for you." Uncle Zhang called as he entered the door.
Then, a man came out of the flower shed. He looked to be in his fifties. He was wearing reading glasses and holding a small soil loosening shovel in his hand. Needless to say, he was tending to the tweed.
"The Sword Comes"
"Old Zhang, what are you doing? You want to buy my flowers again? I tell you, I won't sell them anymore.
I had to pay a lot of money when I sold the potted flowers to you in the spring, but this time, I won't sell them no matter what you say."
When the old man saw the person coming clearly, his expression was not very good, and he waved his hands to chase the person away.
"No, let me tell you, if you chase me away today, you will regret it."
Uncle Zhang was not annoyed at all and was still smiling.
"I'm here to introduce you to a business, do you see? This young man has two pots of flowers that he wants to sell out.
Do you want it? I don’t want to find someone else." Uncle Zhang said, and made a gesture to walk out.
"Wait a minute." When the old man heard this, he became energetic and quickly stopped the person.
"What are you talking about? Someone is selling Clivia?"
The old man quickly wiped his reading glasses and looked at Xu Shiyan carefully. When he saw the flower basket Xu Shiyan was holding, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Young man, come in, let's come in and talk in detail." This attitude changed immediately.
Xu Shiyan held the flowers and followed them into the flower shed.
The flower shed of this house is not too big. There are several flower stands inside, and there are about sixty or seventy clivias on them, large and small.
But they all seem to be ordinary species.
The man asked Xu Shiyan to take out everything from the flower basket. Then he looked at the two pots of flowers carefully and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Hey, you, you are a monk and Technician Huang, young man, where are you from?"
The old man was very knowledgeable and recognized the two pots of flowers that Xu Shiyan brought with him at a glance.
