As if a flash of light flashed across his mind, Qin Wan's eyes widened in surprise, and he stood up abruptly. He caught Boss Zhao and asked, "Were the pothos also placed here to be basked in the sun some time ago? "
"Yes, what's wrong?" Boss Zhao didn't quite understand. "Isn't this a plant that needs to carry out photosynthesis? With so many green leaves and so strong, the pothos must need a lot of sunlight. I also specially chose to introduce it during this period. of pothos."
This is really a given.
Qin Wan couldn't laugh or cry, "Who told you that the more leaves, the more sun they need? Yes, some trees are not afraid of wind and rain, and they are not afraid of the heat of the sun, and the same goes for grass and trees growing in the wild, but we all raise them in For potted plants at home, even if pothos is resistant to tossing and easy to maintain, it does not mean that it will live well under any circumstances. Pothos is not afraid of darkness, but it will not grow well in a very dark environment, so it needs to be moved regularly to a location with good light. The researcher is Did you tell me that?"
"But the light should be moderate, as it is afraid of being exposed to the sun!"
Boss Zhao opened his mouth in surprise, "Seriously, how do you know?"
After I finished speaking, I thought, "Yes, your family members are all studying plants, so you have experience."
Qin Wan felt a little heavy.
Although humans have made preparations for entering underground shelters, the end of the world will destroy civilization too much, whether it is precious materials or precious talents. Secondly, shelters are not so easy to treat. From time to time, materials from a certain shelter will appear. When it is old and collapses, emergency transfer is necessary. This transfer process will also lose some carefully preserved information.
However, this kind of loss is uncontrollable, which means that some of them are still intact, and some of them have nothing at all.
Of course, the national order is still there, and every large shelter will back up the fire that they consider extremely precious. But obviously, the genes of the pothos are still retained, just like other seed banks, but the knowledge of its maintenance is not.
Not only Pothos, five hundred years after the end of the world, many things that were just common sense to humans before the end of the world have become rare.
Although Boss Zhao thought what Qin Wan said was reasonable, he couldn't let Qin Wan randomly experiment with precious natural plants, so he was very stingy and only gave Qin Wan one pot for comparison. If it proved that this When the condition of the potted pothos improves, we can save the others.
Qin Wan was not angry that he didn't believe him.
It is actually best to keep it as it is until you see the results. At least it will still be alive. However, if you let someone who does not have authority mess around, the plant may be killed.
Qin Wan didn't use his powers, so he dealt with it according to what he knew. He loosened the soil first, and then cut off the yellowed leaves. Boss Zhao felt very distressed when he saw this lavish operation.
When he thought about it, the leaves hadn't completely withered yet, and he might be able to save them. But he had already agreed to let Qin Wan take full control of the pot of green radish, so he could only turn his head and not look at it, thinking viciously in his heart: Just two days, two days. If there is no progress, get out of here!
Apart from possible problems, taking care of plants is indeed a very easy job, especially since there are not many potted plants in Xinxin Flower Language.
Qin Wan was very satisfied with this workload.
Before leaving get off work, she specially injected some vitality into the withered green radish, hoping that they would last longer and survive.
I get off work at five o'clock and it's already half past five when I get home.
Qin Huijun and Qin Feng had finished clearing land and were cooking sweet potato porridge. They were relieved to see Qin Wan back.
"Sister, where have you been? I thought you were lost?"
Qin Feng looked up at her. This angle was particularly cute. Qin Wan couldn't help but touch his head, "Well, I found a job, but it's the probationary period now. You have to pass the probationary period before you can become a regular employee."
Qin Feng shouted in surprise, "Wow, sister, you are so awesome, you found a job so quickly!"
Aunt Wang, who was already eating sweet potato rice next to her, couldn't hold it back and said angrily, "How can a skinny guy with a short-lived appearance find a good job? I'm afraid he will be kicked out after just one day of probation."
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Then you don't have to worry about it, Aunt Wang."
Qin Huijun heard something strange, fearing that this job was not that easy, so she greeted, "The sweet potato porridge is about to be cooked. Fengfeng, go get a big bowl. I'll make some egg soup to celebrate your sister finding a job."
That night, Qin Wan drank egg soup and fell asleep with good expectations. She didn't notice Qin Huijun's eyes that hesitated to speak.
Boss Zhao set her working hours from nine to five, with an hour and a half to eat and rest in between.
Qin Wan hurried to the flower shop after breakfast. The door of the shop was open, and Boss Zhao was looking at the pots of green radish on the shelf with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
After being exposed to direct sunlight yesterday, the pothos problem became more serious.
Qin Wan was not afraid of him, and walked straight to a corner. She had let the green radish dry in the sun before, so she moved it to the shade and used her power to check it. Qin Wan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
The vitality of Pothos is much stronger, and the difference can be directly felt by the superpower.
Is it so effective?
She suddenly realized that she could not look at these natural plants with the same eyes as before.
She used to think that the boss was short-sighted and thought that a pothos plant needed sunlight just because it had many leaves. But now she thinks about it, maybe after more than 500 years of apocalypse, the characteristics of many plants have also changed, or maybe they are all trying to save themselves. , trying to adapt to this new world.
Qin Wan felt a shiver in his heart. He should be more cautious when taking care of natural plants in the future.
"Xiao Qin, you're here. This is the pothos I gave you yesterday. Let me see it?"
Boss Zhao finally noticed Qin Wan.
She didn't hold out much hope, her expression was filled with despair, and she was already prepared in her heart. She whispered, "Oh, this pothos must not be able to survive. I shouldn't have listened to the researcher who introduced it. Is it really true?" You can only take it back and fry a plate of vegetables as they said..."
Qin Wan twitched the corners of his mouth and handed the potted plant in his hand to Boss Zhao.
This pothos is too small and does not grow well, so the pot is also small.
Boss Zhao held the basin and his expression changed slightly, "Huh? Its vitality seems to be much stronger?"
He immediately put the basin on the shelf and carefully touched it with his hands, as if he was feeling something.
Qin Wan looked at him.
People with superpowers can identify people with the same superpower. Boss Zhao has no superpowers.
"Can you tell?" She was a little surprised.
Boss Zhao had already retracted his hand and was carefully observing the leaves of the pothos with his eyes. He was very proud when he heard this, "Of course, my wood affinity is as high as forty-five."
"Then you didn't become a spiritual master?" Qin Wan was surprised. Looking at Boss Zhao, it didn't seem like he couldn't afford the awakening potion.
This matter seemed to poke a pain point in Boss Zhao's mind. He frowned and said angrily, "Do you think becoming a wood spiritist is that simple? My wood affinity is only 45, and I have tried low-level and intermediate awakening potions to no avail. , now we can only try to buy high-end potions, but high-end awakening potions are not so easy to obtain, they are all expensive, and there is no market price."
Qin Wan realized that each potion could only be taken once.
"Although I have not become a wood spiritist, my perception of plants is very strong. If there are lesions on plants, I can quickly detect them, otherwise I would not dare to open a shop."
Boss Zhao just said something proud, and couldn't help but look at Qin Wan, "You have really good experience. You actually know the habits of pothos. Have you cultivated pothos in the capital?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "I don't know. I rarely go out. I used to stay at home underground. I know this because I heard an elder mention it occasionally."
Boss Zhao felt a little sympathetic when he thought about the stepmother she was talking about. "Although I don't know if you know other plants, you are still very good at taking care of pothos. I decided to hire you. The monthly base salary is 20 yuan. If you help sell Or if you save a certain plant, you can get a commission, and I’ll give you 10%.”
Qin Wan didn't think it was too little and agreed directly.
Without Boss Zhao’s platform, others would not dare to hand over precious natural plants to her for treatment.
"Okay, I'll leave these pothos to you to take care of."
"Wait a minute, boss." Qin Wan pointed at the withered green radish carefully, "If I save them..."
"I'll calculate the commission for you!" Boss Zhao said angrily, "You're so prudent at a young age."
Qin Wan explained helplessly, "I almost couldn't survive after I found my mother at a loss. My mother spent all her money trying to treat me. Now our family lives in a shantytown, just waiting for my salary to improve our lives. .”
Boss Zhao said nothing.
There were no customers in the flower shop all morning, and Boss Zhao was not in a hurry. He just watched Qin Wan diligently taking care of the pothos, observing the soil and leaves, and even made a sunscreen curtain for the shelf where the pothos was placed. , blocking particularly hot light.
He was thoughtful: What Xiao Qin said seemed to make sense.
At noon, he said, "I'll go to the store next door to buy some food. From now on, I'll include a meal while you watch the store."
Qin Wan agreed.
Boss Zhao has left, but the two bodyguards he hired are still guarding the door. These two bodyguards are also working very hard. Although there is a shade shed in front of the flower shop, the sun is too big and cannot block much. Qin Wan Indoors, Boss Zhao often sprayed water to maintain humidity, so the temperature was lower. But the two bodyguards outside were so hot that they were sweating profusely. Their clothes were wet and dry, and Qin Wan couldn't do anything. , just hand them two glasses of water from time to time.
Boss Zhao didn't say anything when he saw it.
Qin Wan was pleasantly surprised when he bought rice with meat and vegetables for lunch, but when he took it into his mouth, he immediately became expressionless.
It wasn't too unpalatable, much better than 007 sweet potato, but she had too high expectations for rice.
It feels much calmer to give up the fantasy at this time.
Gradually I can taste some of it.
The meat had a medicinal smell, and I couldn't tell the specific variety. It should have been cloned in a biofactory. In comparison, the green vegetables seemed fresher and sweeter. The rice gave Qin Wan the feeling of eating bran. It's spicy, but the taste is relatively light. It's so pure and unpretentious among the dishes that seem to have knocked over the condiment bottle. Isn't this the positioning of white rice?
It seems to have no taste, but it tastes great when paired with dishes.
Qin Wan smiled unconsciously.
When Boss Zhao saw this, he felt even more pitiful for the child. His own food standard was relatively high, but he was reluctant to give such good food to his employees, especially the two bodyguards who both had big appetites. He often gave them to them at night. He added meals by himself, and the failure to introduce pothos was a big loss for him, so he became more frugal.
So this lunch was of a lower quality, and he couldn't finish it after only two bites.
As a result, Qin Wan, who came from the imperial capital, ate with gusto.
How difficult it was for her to make a living under her stepmother.
Boss Zhao secretly made up his mind to wait for Qin Wan to revive this batch of green radish, and treat her to a feast.
The little money spent to celebrate is nothing compared to the investment in pothos, but talents with experience in caring for plants are rare.
Two guests came in the afternoon.
When someone came over, Boss Zhao's face looked ugly, but he still greeted him.
This man stayed in the store for an hour and looked at all the potted plants carefully, but he didn't buy any.
After he left, Boss Zhao complained to Qin Wan, "Li Yaocheng is a stingy man. His family is not without money. His son is promising. His family bought a big house before and moved two potted plants back from me. But This old man felt so distressed that he actually came to ask for a return. As soon as I saw the way the plant was humming, I knew he hadn't taken good care of it. I sent out a pot that was full of water and came back with it looking like this. Of course I wouldn't accept it, and then He made a fuss in the store and wanted me to change two pots for him, but fortunately his son was more understanding and dragged him back."
"This little old man is very vindictive. He comes to my store every afternoon when he is free and spends all his time without buying anything!"
Boss Zhao was very angry, "Xiao Qin, I think you feel the same. There are many natural plants in my store. It makes you feel comfortable when you stay there. It clears the lungs, nourishes the skin, and detoxifies. If it weren't for opening the business and not being able to refuse the customers, I would have given them to him." Get out!"
Qin Wan listened carefully and nodded from time to time. She knew that Boss Zhao was not exaggerating.
There is indeed something about these natural plants, not only their strong vitality, but also because they release not only fresh oxygen with every breath, but also a little vitality that escapes. These lively and agile vitality have a great impact on the human body. It is very beneficial.
However, Qin Wan didn't have the energy to absorb it with his supernatural powers.
Such plundering would not improve her abilities much, but it would have a greater impact on the natural plants in the house.
They are still too small to withstand such abuse.
Now she is mobilizing the superpower, as if simulating the breathing and breathing of plants to form a cycle, which is continuous. Although the effect is not too obvious, it is beneficial to both parties.
Boss Zhao's anger finally disappeared after the second customer bought a potted plant.
Qin Wan was shocked to see that this potted plant actually cost thirty-six yuan.
Thirty-six, her salary for one and a half months.
In particular, Qin Wan also found that Wang Qiuer's twelve yuan per month was already considered a high salary, and Qin Huijun's nine yuan was equally good. First, it was paid by the government, and second, the physical work was relatively heavy, and the salary was more common in the city center. It's five or six yuan, and there are also three or four yuan, but in this case, they will often work an extra job, otherwise they won't be able to support themselves.
As for her, she is a skilled worker who can take care of natural plants.
Some people don't have enough to eat, but some people can buy natural plants at will and pursue enjoyment. Qin Wanxin said, indeed, no matter where in the world, there are poor and rich people.
At this time, Qin Wan didn't know that the so-called natural plants were not as simple as she thought. They were not just beautiful plants at home.
The customer carefully took the money and gave it to Boss Zhao. His face was full of distress, and he held the potted plant carefully. He kept asking the boss if there was a problem, if he could get it back for treatment. When he heard that Boss Zhao was sure, he would take the money. After receiving the assurance, he breathed a sigh of relief and left.
