Qin Wan had a delicious bowl of chicken soup, then went to work with freshly roasted sweet potatoes.
She arrived early that day, but there was a tricycle parked at the door. Boss Zhao and a strange woman were moving things from the car into the house. She quickly walked over to help him.
There are three rows of shelves set up on the tricycle. There are potted plants on the shelves, which are larger than those in the flower shop. They look fine at first glance, but Qin Wan feels a strange feeling as soon as he gets his hands on them.
It's very rigid and mechanical, without the dynamic vitality of pothos.
Qin Wan realized that this was not an artificial plant, right?
Boss Zhao built half a wall out of foam board or some other material, dividing the more than 100-square-meter flower shop into two spaces. The natural plants were originally placed on the left, and the gate was also here. Now there are two spaces. The door and the artificial plant on the right also have an additional entrance and exit.
This is the shop in the front, and there is a warehouse in the back. It was originally used to store supplies, but the boss built a bed inside and slept here at night.
The main reason is that he can't move all these things home, and he doesn't worry about leaving them there, otherwise a thief will pry open the door of his store and empty out the natural plants in the store, and he won't be able to cry.
Of course, he kept a bodyguard for the night watch, and this bodyguard was also somewhat related to Boss Zhao.
Qin Wan is the only outsider in the entire Xinxin Huayu, which shows how hard it is to find a job.
Qin Wan did not dare to be proud of her "experience", so she stood aside and watched, helping the boss to move the things. A thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. This potted plant was much heavier than a natural plant.
Boss Zhao then introduced, "Xiao Qin, this is my wife, just call me boss lady. These artificial plants are all vigorously selected by my wife and my son on the farm. Bring them here to test the water and wait for the guests to come." Now, please help introduce me, do you all recognize me?"
Qin Wan nodded.
Of course she recognized it.
These artificial plants actually look very standard, just like this leek, which is more like a leek than a natural leek. They have been pruned from the start of their genes and grow up in an orderly manner. This is the limitation of artificial plants. , there will be no surprises or surprises, everything is framed.
The landlady just nodded to her hastily, smiled, and immediately rode her tricycle out of the city.
Her skin is very tanned, and her arms and legs are very thick. Against her, Boss Zhao looks very white and thin. The two of them look a bit different from each other together.
Qin Wan withdrew his gaze and began to ask Boss Zhao, "I have never planted artificial plants before. How should I take care of these?"
"Don't worry about them. If you really want to, just go over and water them occasionally." Boss Zhao was very casual. "They are much more tolerant than natural plants. I will tell you when they need fertilizing."
"Your task is to take good care of those pothos." Speaking of the pothos, a look of distress appeared on his face.
If the introduction of this batch of pothos hadn't failed, he wouldn't have started scratching his head to think of ways to make money. He was a flower shop that sold natural plants and bought some artificial plants to display in a nondescript manner.
Qin Wan listened to him and was not in a hurry to observe the so-called artificial plants. She was indeed curious about this new thing, but work was more important.
First, check all the pothos from beginning to end. Those pothos that are only initially affected - the main symptom is that the leaves are bruised but not yellow. At this time, they have fully recovered, and the leaves are tender and tender, unlike those grown in pots. They are placed in the greenhouse, but they are swaying and stretching their bodies in the wild.
This vitality is really tenacious.
Secondly, there are only one or two yellow leaves. Qin Wan cut off the yellow leaves yesterday. Now there is no problem on the whole, but Qin Wan can feel that it is a little weak, like a child in Asia. The healthy person stayed up all night again, but was obviously not in good spirits and needed to continue to recuperate.
This progress is much faster than before the end of the world.
As for the remaining leaves that have lost a lot of leaves, some have become stronger as Qin Wan hoped, while others are declining.
Qin Wan felt it was a pity, but there was nothing she could do.
Once again, I regret that I don’t have wood-type abilities.
Yes, she can input earth-type powers to help these pothos die, but whether they are pothos or people, their ability to withstand vitality is limited. The healthier they are, the stronger their vitality, and the amount of vitality they have in their bodies. more. Even if this vitality is temporarily depleted, it can be restored quickly. But if the foundation is damaged, the vat will be broken, and the energy it carries will become less and less, and life will become weaker, forming a vicious cycle.
Qin Wan glanced at Boss Zhao. He had already checked other green plants and was staring at the green radish with a very happy smile.
Apparently he also saw the changes in Pothos.
Qin Wan didn't want to pour cold water on the other party, but the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. In order to save her job, she took the initiative to introduce her results. Qin Wan divided the current green flowers into three levels, "...the first two That’s it. If nothing unexpected happens, they will grow better and better. I am 50% sure that I can save these last batch, these, these, and these pots, but these two pots—"
She shook her head, faced Boss Zhao's disappointed look and said, "Be mentally prepared."
Boss Zhao really wants to ask you that you are so powerful, can't you create another miracle? But looking at Qin Wan's firm eyes, he walked away silently.
Qin Wan gave him time to calm down and went next door to observe the artificial plants.
Both rooms are empty. The potted plants are as pitiful as the sesame seeds sprinkled on the pie by the stingy boss. They are far less crowded than the flower shops Qin Wan has seen before. Multi-layer planting maximizes the use of space. .
Xinxin Huayu only has two floors of shelves, and there is no suspended ceiling.
The quantity is small and the types are small, just four types, leeks, green onions, sweet potatoes and peppers.
Onions, ginger, garlic and chili were developed right after the staple food and are the most common condiments. Aunt Li’s family has two small onions grown in plastic bowls, which Li Maisui brought back from Xingsheng Farm. The Li family is like a treasure. Only occasionally do I pinch a few finely chopped green onions and sprinkle them into the soup.
Aunt Wang can't compare to this, but she has other ways to show off. She will go directly to buy ginger, garlic and chili.
The first four are not so rare that even people in shantytowns can afford to eat them, but leeks are relatively rare.
Qin Wan thought about it for a while and felt that Boss Zhao's choice was correct.
Chinese people have been farming since ancient times.
If you can’t afford natural plants, you can buy some artificial plants, which are both pleasing to the eye and very affordable. For example, this sweet potato vine. The lady boss ingeniously inserted a stick in the middle, allowing the sweet potato vine to climb up around the stick.
Not to mention, it's quite aesthetically pleasing. Take it back and pull off the leaves. Can't it be used to stir-fry a dish?
Spring onions are even better, they are versatile.
Just as Qin Wan expected, Xinxin Huayu, who had seemed to be forgotten by the people in the city, began to have guests one after another. In fact, Qin Wan didn't need help in introducing them. These people had very sharp eyes. Qin Wan looked at them. Of similar potted plants, they were able to pick out which one had more leaves and which one grew better, especially the peppers that had already begun to bear fruit. They not only counted the number of fruits on the pepper trees, but also saw that certain pepper fruits had not yet grown. , I guess the fruit bearing rate will be higher if I take it back to raise...
Whoever makes this plant is calculated based on the pot.
Fortunately, the calculation is based on pots, otherwise if this pot costs a dime more and that pot costs a dime less, Qin Wan and Boss Zhao will definitely be too busy.
Later, seeing that most of the people were collecting money, Boss Zhao simply waved his hand and asked Qin Wan to look at the natural plants while he entertained the guests.
Qin Wan continued to observe Luluo and suddenly frowned.
Probably because of long-term contact, her understanding of the pothos reached a very fine level, and she was even able to estimate the approximate death time of the two pothos plants that could not be saved.
Why does she feel that their death time seems to be earlier?
This feeling was very vague and impossible to describe. Qin Wan thought about it and didn't mention it to Boss Zhao.
After finally receiving a wave of customers there, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Boss Zhao wiped the sweat from his head and said, "It's too hot here. I'll buy food while you watch the store."
Even though it was hot, Boss Zhao quickly ran over and bought some food.
As soon as he left, another guest came in.
Qin Wan had no choice but to ask his bodyguards to guard the natural plants. He walked over and took a quick look and saw that less than half of the potted plants had been sold.
She straightened them out.
Compared with natural plants, artificial plants are much cheaper, and customers can easily get started with them.
Qin Wan collected the money and sent the person away, and Boss Zhao came back. She handed the money over, and Boss Zhao took it and gave her the lunch box, "Here, eat today's lunch quickly. I didn't expect that the city People here are so well-informed, this stall has just been set up and so many people know about it.”
Qin Wan smiled and said, "It's a unique one. I don't usually buy it, but I just want to see it. Then I went into the store and compared the prices of natural plants. I instantly felt that it was affordable."
"That's the truth."
Qin Wan started eating slowly. She didn't listen to Boss Zhao.
The organs of this body are weak and the digestion capacity of the stomach is poor.
After finishing the meal, she did not go next door and continued to examine the pothos. Qin Wan was very concerned about her previous discovery.
After this inspection, she frowned again.
Pothos is dead.
When I looked at another plant, it turned out that the rate of loss of vitality had accelerated.
Qin Wan was not sure whether there was another reason or whether the plants were dying faster as they approached death.
She told Boss Zhao about this.
Originally, Boss Zhao was still enjoying the meal - he brought a bottle of spicy pickles with him to eat, but suddenly he felt bad. He put the half-left lunch box on the table and quickly walked over to check.
Qin Wan watched him check it over and over again three times before finally putting down the basin unwillingly, "Is it really dead?!"
Although Boss Zhao was mentally prepared, when this fact really appeared in front of him, he still found how unacceptable he was - although it was not that no plants had died since his flower shop opened, but They are basically buds, rarely grown, and there is a certain probability of buds dying, which is normal.
However, the green radish is almost fully grown, and because of my own negligence, I take it for granted!
He clearly saw hope in Qin Wan.
Boss Zhao carefully dug out the entire root system of the pothos and said to Qin Wan expressionlessly, "Come with me."
Qin Wan followed him into the warehouse at the back and watched as he took out a large bucket with a high-tech feel. The walls of the bucket were made of stainless steel. Boss Zhao put the withered green radish in it, closed the lid, and took it out. After plugging it into the socket, the button on the top of the vat suddenly lit up.
"This is a fermentation barrel, specially customized. Unlike artificial plants, natural plants can go directly to the agricultural science institute to buy fertilizer. We need to prepare suitable fertilizers according to the actual situation, so I specially purchased a fermentation barrel. You see now Follow my operation."
Boss Zhao explained, "Natural plants like these must not be taken back to stir-fry as outsiders say. Even if they are dead, their bodies are still useful. I don't know if you have ever heard of a thing before the end of the world." In a poem, falling red is not a heartless thing, but turns into spring mud to protect flowers?"
"Now they are spring mud and fertilizer." Boss Zhao said and pressed the button with the word "incineration" written on it. "And according to the knowledge trained by experts, the earlier the processing is done, the more green energy can be preserved."
"Green energy?" Qin Wan finally spoke.
Green energy, she would think of a series of pure natural green energy, such as solar energy, but her intuition told her that this was not what Boss Zhao was talking about.
