"Let me think about it again." That's what he said, but Boss Zhao already had an inclination in his mind - mint is so good? If he had known this, he should have abandoned pothos and chosen mint. But he didn't even know the existence of mint at the beginning, and he didn't just choose whatever the researcher recommended to him.
The matter has come to this, and I have bitten off more than I can chew. The focus now is still on the pothos.
With expert Zhang's words in front of them, they were able to be taken by Xiaotian to see the new natural plants, instead of having to pick and choose by chance like other people. But probably because they had mint in mind, Boss Zhao didn't take a fancy to any of them. , even if there is the lucky bamboo he wants.
When we were sent back to Xinxin Huayu, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. The proprietress greeted us enthusiastically, "Have you eaten? The pot is still hot."
Boss Zhao shook his head and said, "I ate in the cafeteria of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences."
He showed an afterthought expression, "It is indeed an agricultural science institute, the salary is super high, and the food is delicious."
Qin Wan said, "I went to see the pothos. I just prepared the fertilizer in the morning and haven't used it yet."
The landlady said quickly, "I'll help you put your two flowerpots under the pothos shelf."
Qin Wan thanked him.
Seeing that she was busy with her work, the landlady asked in a low voice about their visit to the Institute of Agricultural Science. When she heard that they not only received the award, entered the file, but could also appear on the program, the landlady's eyes widened, "Xiao Qin is actually so good. ?”
As for the hundred yuan that was given out, although the landlady felt distressed, she felt relieved immediately when she thought of the honor her man had received.
Thinking about it, they took advantage of Qin Wan and got a hundred yuan for nothing.
"Isn't the basic salary of 20 yuan not enough?" The boss lady heard from her man that the monthly salary of experts in the institute is in the hundreds, not to mention benefits during the holidays, and if the research yields results, there will be more bonuses .
Boss Zhao felt a little pained, "With Xiao Qin's talent, she won't be able to stay in my store for long, and I can't give her a salary according to expert standards, so I'll give her a raise of ten yuan. If she can sell If we produce more pothos, we can give her a commission."
In one afternoon, Qin Wan fertilized the green radish, found scissors from the warehouse, and cut out twenty seedlings at the location of the aerial roots. Boss Zhao was mentally prepared, but when he saw one It seemed to him that the leafy green radish had been cut down to a bare stick, and he gasped for breath and hurriedly went to the next door.
He can't see this, so why can't he hide?
Qin Wan pretended not to notice that the ten seedlings were cultivated in water and the ten seedlings were cultivated in soil.
Only two flower pots were used.
But Boss Zhao himself saw them huddled together in such aggrieved manner, and couldn't bear to part with them. "There are still a lot of flower pots I just bought in the warehouse, which are enough."
Qin Wan said, "It's easy to take care of."
Boss Zhao choked and wanted to say something but was dragged away by the landlady.
"what's wrong with you?"
"I would like to ask you what's going on. You said before that you would leave it to her to handle everything. I didn't think so at first, but her skills have been recognized by experts, so you should stop pointing fingers."
Boss Zhao's eyes widened and he pointed at himself, "Me, pointing fingers?"
The landlady asked, "Isn't it?"
Compared to him, the boss's wife is actually more able to take things in hand. In the past, she treated Qin Wan as an employee of their farm like a farmer, and she wouldn't look down on him, but she would never be as polite as she is now.
But now that he has been proven to be a researcher, not to mention treating people as ancestors, at least he shouldn't be suspicious at all times, especially - "She has told you before, if you don't want her to do that, just refuse on the spot. You They all agreed, and she started to work. If you come to the side and say this is not possible, this should be what it is, do you dare to say this to the experts from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences? The younger the young people are, the more arrogant they are. I think she is already very kind. .”
Boss Zhao really didn't expect his wife to say such things. It was clear that he was the one who valued Qin Wan more at the beginning.
As a result, his knowledge as a boss is not even comparable to that of his wife who works in the fields?
Then he became very calm, and Qin Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she could understand her boss's caution, she already had complete confidence in the pothos and really didn't want to be slowed down again.
This is not caution, it is indecision.
＊
After getting off work and seeing the shanty town in the distance, Qin Wan deliberately took a look around. Gao Hongda was not there, but he found Qin Feng and Qin Huijun waiting at the city gate.
"Sister, my mother and I are here to pick you up from get off work."
Qin Feng waved his little hands and jumped up, fearing that Qin Wan wouldn't be able to see him.
Qin Wan walked a few steps quickly and held Qin Feng's hand. Qin Feng held Qin Huijun's other hand, "Let's go home. There will be great things today."
After listening to Qin Wan's explanation, Qin Feng's eyes were filled with little stars, "Sister, you are so awesome!"
Qin Huijun made the same choice as Boss Zhao, "I will use 88 of this 100 yuan to buy you an awakening potion, and the rest will improve your life."
Qin Wan disagreed, "Mom, don't you want to set up a stall selling pot helmets? This hundred yuan should be enough for us to buy a food stall and buy awakening potions. With my wood affinity level of only twenty-two , it is very possible that this money was thrown into the water.”
Thinking rationally, even if you want to buy an awakening potion, you should set up a stall first.
Qin Huijun hesitated for a moment, then said, "This opportunity is not to be missed. The time will never come again. The cost of awakening potion has been reduced. People who wanted to buy it but couldn't afford it in the past will now be tempted. Our Yunshan City is a small place. We can get it." The share will definitely not be large, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy it if I have the money, so we have to catch this opportunity. The official pricing does not represent its true value, the black market does.”
She still remembered that when her father was still alive, as soon as the official announcement of the availability of awakening potions was made, parents would go out of their way to queue up from dawn to dusk, and then from dusk to dawn, but even so, There must be some people who can't make it.
The official set the price so low in the hope that there would be a few more wood spirit masters at the bottom, so that they would not have to be controlled and taken care of by a few big families.
Qin Wan really didn't realize this.
Qin Huijun added, "I am not in a hurry to set up a stall to sell Guokui. Just like the pancake fruit before, it took me more than half a month to prepare the best flavor. Let's use the remaining money from the awakening potion to buy flour. Buy vegetables and make fillings, and your salary should be paid in more than half a month, then you can think about setting up a stall."
Qin Wan was convinced by her.
Qin Huijun is also a very active person, "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's go now."
When she met an acquaintance on the road and asked them where they were going, Qin Huijun just smiled and said they were going to a state-owned store, keeping the matter a secret.
Just because Boss Zhao was able to give away a hundred dollars doesn't mean that other people can take it lightly.
All the way to the official building, after asking the staff, she learned that there was stock in stock and that there was a special awakening room. Qin Huijun made a quick decision, "You will awaken here, Fengfeng and I will guard outside."
"Okay." The dream from that night flashed through her mind, and Qin Wan had an inexplicable intuition: becoming a wood spiritist might not be as difficult as she thought.
Qin Wan spent a hundred dollars to buy the awakening potion, a small finger-long glass bottle filled with green liquid. It was very beautiful, with the clarity and vitality of green life.
She entered the awakening room alone.
Qin Huijun and Qin Feng outside the door both showed worried expressions. Although so far, most of the news is good news - after taking the awakening potion, even if you cannot awaken, it will not cause much harm to the body. But in the official instructions It’s still a probability number: ninety-eight percent.
It is not 100% safe. Just like before the end of the world, some people will be allergic to drugs and need to take a skin test in advance.
Qin Huijun is very afraid that Qin Wanwan is the two percent.
The staff also knew the worries of parents and brought two cups of tea and a plate of snacks on the table next to them. "You two sit down and rest for a while. Awakening is a relatively long thing. The current record It took at least a quarter of an hour.”
When she reminded her, Qin Huijun suddenly remembered, "Fengfeng, are you hungry?"
They haven't had dinner yet.
Qin Feng touched his belly and shook his head sensibly, "Wait until sister wakes up."
"This is dried sweet potato. It may not taste very good, but it's filling." The staff said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister." Qin Feng glanced at Qin Huijun, and when she nodded, he reached for a piece of dried sweet potato and bit it hard, "It's so sweet."
"As long as the kids like it, I'll get it for you after you finish eating."
Of course I can't afford other precious snacks, but dried sweet potatoes are enough.
Since the day Yunshan City was founded, it has never stopped planting 007 sweet potatoes. Although the artificial ones have a longer shelf life than natural ones, they have not broken away from the sweet potato variety. Now the people above are working hard to develop sweet potato products. In addition to human We ate sweet potato powder, dried sweet potatoes, etc., as well as a newly opened pig farm. As a result, we had just finished digesting ten large warehouses, and there was going to be a bumper harvest there.
Their monthly benefits were just this, and her family would vomit after eating.
However, the leader brought a large cart over not long ago and told them to be polite and eat by themselves. When guests come, they should be proactive in serving them. The office has been fresh for a while, but now they don't even look at it.
Qin Feng didn't know what the gentle smiling young lady in front of him was thinking. He quite liked it. After all, they often ate sweet potato porridge at home, and there was a dried sweet potato in Leng Bu Ding, which he thought was fresh.
Qin Huijun also took one and chewed it slowly. The excessive sweetness was greasy and a bit bitter, but it was a sweet after all, so she felt less panic after eating it.
The awakening room is specially built and has excellent sound insulation. People inside can't hear sounds from outside, and people outside can't hear what's inside.
As soon as Qin Wan opened the bottle and drank the green liquid according to the staff's instructions, he felt a sharp pain and fainted.
When she regained consciousness, she felt like she was under an endless starry sky, with particularly bright stars flying around, dazzling her, "Stop, stop!"
He shouted unconsciously and covered his eyes with his hands.
After a while, the stars finally stopped flying around, and the light was not so bright, becoming an intensity she could adapt to.
Only then did Qin Wan realize that the feeling that the world was filled with twinkling lights was actually an illusion.
The brightest one was in the middle of her head. It didn't look like a star, but like the moon held by stars. The moon gave her a strange feeling. It was extremely far away, yet extremely close, as if she was on the top of a mountain and could reach out to catch it. That distance to the moon.
Under the moon, there was an endless darkness, and further down were more than a dozen stars floating around her.
She studied the stars carefully.
really.
It is the basic elements taught by the teacher and the basic elements involved in the pothos that once appeared in her dream.
"Did they light up because I learned to master them? What about the moon above my head?"
What made her feel even more strange was that the moon above her head seemed to be getting rounder, as if it was going from a thin crescent to a full moon.
No one could answer her doubts. Qin Wan wanted to leave, but unfortunately she couldn't find a way to leave. She grabbed the stars and began to arrange and combine them like the wood spirit master's construction of seeds as the teacher had explained, kneading them together.
At first, Qin Wan put them together very hard, but as soon as he loosened his grip, the two stars suddenly flew far away from each other. The disgust was not too obvious.
Qin Wan felt that it was a bit wronged, so she grabbed another star and repeated the experiment several times. She finally found the pattern:
These stars are made of strange shapes, like stacked wood. Using the sharp corners of a triangle to forcefully align them with a square will certainly not work, but if you find some places that can be stuck, it will be like a mortise and tenon structure. Can be put together as well.
An idea flashed in her mind: Isn't this small shape combined into a large shape the basic elements spliced into the wood spirit factor?
Qin Wan suddenly became interested: So the perfect seeds that can germinate are the stacked building blocks with a stable structure that will not collapse?
…
I don't know how long time passed. When Qin Wan accidentally looked up and found that the crescent moon in the sky had completely turned into a full moon, she knew with a sudden movement that she could go out.
Sure enough, when she opened her eyes again, it was the awakening room she had entered.
The stars all over the ground disappeared, and Qin Wan felt a little sad. The night now was not pretty at all.
