Rebirth begins with marrying a female educated youth
Chapter 122 Bargaining in Sleeve
The next day, before dawn, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling took fourteen pots of orchids with an arranged human-powered tricycle and arrived at the road outside the exhibition hall.
Just as Brother Niu who works in the exhibition hall said, on this day of the flower exhibition, people from the flower and bird market in the provincial capital went out early to find a place and put out flowers, plants, Shoushan stones, and even parrots and mynas.
They are also particular about where they look.
Although the sun hasn't come out yet, when it comes out and is strong, it won't be able to shine on their flowers, grass, and birds.
When Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling arrived, stalls had been set up under the trees on both sides of the road where they turned towards the exhibition hall, and there was almost no open space.
Three of them got together, giving each other cigarettes, talking and laughing.
When they arrived at the Era Sea, they found an open space, put down a large sack and used it as a stall, and fourteen pots of orchids were placed out one after another.
These people who were obviously acquainted or familiar with each other, could not help but look over.
The young couple who set up a stall to buy orchids looked at each other with surprise.
But then they all looked away, whispered a few words, and laughed quietly.
Where Epoch Sea is located, there are no trees in front of it or above its head.
When the sun comes out, it will definitely shine on the orchids.
But flowers like orchids should not be exposed to too strong sunlight... This young man is young and doesn't understand anything.
These people playing with flowers and birds are all veterans, and there are many masters among them, so when I looked up, I felt funny - that open space is a very good place, but why are so many people not going there, and only the two of you can occupy the space? ? They are all young and inexperienced, so they suffer such disadvantages.
Era Hai has noticed the subtle changes here.
He could see the advantages of the positions these people chose, and of course he could also see the disadvantages of where he was.
But...he really didn't care.
A little sunlight means nothing to his orchids.
The east is gradually whitening, and the sun is slowly rising.
The stall owners of each stall said hello to those who were supposed to say hello, and those who were a little resentful naturally looked at each other coldly. After all the socializing was finished, everyone went back to their stalls.
A middle-aged man was on the right side of Ji Yuanhai's stall, playing with the flowers and plants, feeding his myna a meal of bird food, and teaching the myna how to speak.
"Thunder Monkey! Hou Xiang! Capture Gahou!"
"Just enough!"
Ji Yuanhai vaguely heard Cantonese, glanced at it, and then couldn't help but smile.
After seeing it, the middle-aged man was not in a hurry and looked at the flowers and his starling again.
It took a while before he came over.
"Little brother, what do you call me?"
"My surname is Ji, you can just call me Xiao Ji." Ji Yuanhai said with a polite smile, "What do you call me?"
"My surname is Shan, you can call me Lao Shan, or you can call me Brother Shan." The middle-aged man also said with a polite smile.
"Well, hello, Brother Shan." Ji Yuanhai said.
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan smiled: "Xiao Ji, I haven't seen you much before, and my accent doesn't sound like someone from a provincial capital. Where did you get rich?"
"Brother Shan, where are you?" Ji Yuanhai asked instead of answering.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Shan burst into laughter: "Xiao Ji, your words show your true nature. If you often go to the flower and bird art street in the provincial capital, you have met me several times. Why? Don’t you know where I am?”
Then he told Ji Yuanhai, "I'm running a small business on Flower and Bird Street."
"Xiao Ji, you're not from the provincial capital, are you?"
"Brother Shan, you have bright eyes and a bright heart." Ji Yuanhai said with a smile.
The middle-aged man surnamed Shan smiled and felt a little complacent: "It's not bad. Traveling in the world depends on your eyes. If you can see what others can't, then you will make money."
Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "In addition to these, what else can Brother Shan see?"
The middle-aged man named Shan smiled: "Then let me take a look?"
As he spoke, it started to look like: "The way they dress, their temperament, and the way they talked just now, they are not from rural areas or workers."
"Anyone who has not studied enough, whose family is poor, and who has no confidence and assurance, will not have the demeanor like you, Xiao Ji."
"Xiao Ji, do you work for your company? Or do you work for a company in other places?"
Ji Yuanhai smiled and did not say whether he guessed right or wrong.
"What else? Brother Shan."
Brother Shan smiled and said, "Are you going to the flower show with your company, and then if you have a lot of flowers, sell some of them to make some extra money and go home?"
After finishing speaking, I looked at Ji Yuanhai's expression and saw that he didn't seem to be convinced at all. He still had a polite smile, and suddenly he felt a little unconfident.
Did I guess wrong?
It doesn't look like him. With his appearance, dress and temperament, he is definitely not an ordinary worker or farmer.
It would be wrong to say that he was a flower seller from out of town and moved to the provincial capital to do business.
He didn't look like he was bending over and smiling when doing business, and he even picked the wrong location for the flower stall.
Ji Yuanhai did not let him speculate any more, but instead talked about what he had done just now to teach Bage Cantonese.
"Brother Shan, what you just taught Bage was very thoughtful."
"This is just trying to make a big profit."
"Oh? Do you understand this?" Brother Shan looked at Yiyan Era Sea again.
"I've heard a little bit about it," Ji Yuanhai said.
Brother Shan smiled, but didn't say much and walked slowly back to his stall.
Holding back his strength, he trained a myna specifically to ask him to speak Cantonese for praise.
How much money do people in the north have now?
The rich people are all big bosses from the south, and they all speak Cantonese. Brother Shan learned a few Cantonese words from someone in the past, and he just needs to use them at this time.
As long as the big boss in the south takes a fancy and abandons three melons and two dates, his efforts will not be in vain.
Ji Yuanhai saw that he didn't want to say more and seemed unwilling to reveal the secret, so he stopped talking to him.
There are many rules in Wen Wan Hua Niao. Sometimes if you say even one word, you will be blamed for not knowing the rules.
Not to mention, the middle-aged man surnamed Shan taught a bird and planned to use it as a good thing to attract the southern boss - if Ji Yuanhai went to talk and something suddenly went wrong with the bird, then Ji Yuanhai might be responsible for it. On the sea.
The sun is getting brighter, and the stall facing Era Sea has been shining on it.
Several stall owners were already looking at Ji Yuanhai's stall with smiles, ready to watch the excitement.
But when they took a closer look, they were all dumbfounded.
The sky was not clear just now, and they did not look at the varieties carefully. Now they look at it: Good guy, there are a total of fourteen pots of flowers, except Chunlan, Songmei, and Longchangsu!
All of them are slender, elegant and dewy, like the beauties from the Jiangnan water towns.
Mainly because this feeling of elegance and tranquility is really rare.
In the south, it takes careful care to grow orchids with this kind of appearance, and it is not easy to control the size of the leaves. In the north, it is even more difficult to grow orchids like this in addition to growing orchids alive.
The people setting up stalls today are all knowledgeable, and the more I look at them, the more rare they become.
Why are these fourteen pots of flowers and plants so different?
An old stall owner with white hair couldn't help but walked over and said, "Young man, where did you get these orchids? They look good."
Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Do you want it?"
"what price?"
As he spoke, he put his hands inside his sleeves and handed them over.
Negotiate the price in your sleeves without letting outsiders know.
This is also a habit of some older generations.
Negotiate prices based on your ability. No one knows whether you buy high or low, so don’t regret it.
If you don’t understand the market well enough, you deserve to suffer the loss yourself, and you can’t blame others if you don’t have the ability.
Ji Yuanhai put his hand into his sleeve and touched two old fingers. He immediately smiled and was about to take his hand out.
Two hundred dollars? This is not the price that Era Hai wants.
This is a provincial capital, and it is simply impossible to take away a famous orchid of this quality for two hundred yuan.
The white-haired old stall owner quickly grabbed his hand: "Let's talk again!"
One more finger.
Three hundred, this price is barely acceptable, but Ji Yuanhai doesn't want to sell it at this price.
Seeing that Ji Yuanhai still didn't bid, he was about to leave immediately. The white-haired old stall owner hurriedly stopped him: "There is no such thing! You make a bid!"
"Make an offer! Let's make a counteroffer!"
Ji Yuanhai nodded and made a chicken pecking rice gesture with his palms in his sleeves, which means "seven".
The white-haired old stall owner immediately lowered the price: "It won't happen, it won't happen... How can you price a pot of flowers like this? It's too high!"
He made a "four" with his finger.
Ji Yuanhai smiled and shook his head.
The white-haired old stall owner lowered the price again, and Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "You don't need to say anything... Just talk about my flowers, have you seen them from other stores? Are they as good as this?"
"How long did it take me to raise it like this, and how much thought did I put into it?"
"Have you ever thought about it?"
"If you think it's expensive, I still think it's cheap. I won't be able to make back the money I spent on it for so long!"
The white-haired old stall owner was also very embarrassed after hearing this.
To be fair, these orchids do not require enough effort to grow like this - but four hundred yuan is really high, it can be called a sky-high price.
How can it be higher?
Seven hundred yuan, isn't this going to break the sky?
Lu Heling listened to Ji Yuanhai's words and then looked at the white-haired old stall owner who believed him to be true. She was not surprised.
There were some things that she had noticed for a long time that the Era Sea was unusual.
Only she knew that these orchids were cultivated by Ji Yuanhai from the branches and leaves, and they grew like this in seven days, which was very contrary to common sense.
She took out the soapstone seal she carried with her from her pocket, rubbed it in her hand, and then looked down at her mother's bracelet.
Mom and Dad, did you see it?
My husband is not an ordinary person.
"But you have fourteen pots here..." the white-haired old stall owner said.
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Fourteen pots, all of them are high-quality products. If you are willing to buy them, I will let you choose from them."
The white-haired old stall owner hesitated for a moment, but finally felt that the price was high and shook his head.
Returned to his stall.
Ji Yuanhai didn't take it seriously. He sat with Lu Heling and saw that she was holding a bloodstone seal in her hand, so he didn't bother her.
As the white-haired old stall owner failed to buy it, other stall owners guessed that the price of Era Sea must be unusual, so they did not come to inquire.
Coincidentally, no one reminded Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling about the problem of sun exposure.
To be able to grow such a famous orchid with excellent appearance does not seem like someone who doesn’t understand flowers. Maybe there is some secret?
Some people think so.
There are also people who are still waiting to watch the excitement.
Time passed little by little, and the exhibition hall had opened its doors and started to get busy.
Various units and some units from other provinces have sent carefully taken care of flowers to the exhibition hall in advance.
Buses have also started running.
Wang Zhuyun got off the bus, ran over quickly carrying a lunch box, steamed buns and fried dough sticks.
"Didn't you eat? I brought it to you!"
Wang Zhuyun smiled and opened the lunch box, which contained soy milk.
Ji Yuanhai said thank you and asked her if she had eaten.
"I haven't eaten either." Wang Zhuyun said.
Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but smile and motioned to Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun to eat first.
After they finished eating, Ji Yuanhai ate the remaining buns and two fried dough sticks.
Forget about the soy milk and let the two of them drink it. Ji Yuanhai didn't touch it.
After dinner, Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling sat together and talked and laughed. In addition, Ji Yuanhai was also a young man with handsome features. His stall setting style was completely different from that of other middle-aged and elderly people.
It always felt like the three of them were filled with something invisible that other stalls didn’t have.
Seeing Brother Niu from the exhibition hall passing by the road from a distance, Ji Yuanhai quickly stood up and said hello: "Brother Niu!"
Brother Niu: "Oh, you three are really here?"
"Well, Brother Niu, we are here." Ji Yuanhai said.
"Do a good job. I'm very busy today and I don't have time to greet you." Brother Niu said.
Ji Yuanhai nodded quickly: "Okay, Brother Niu, go and do your work first! Let's talk when you have time!"
Brother Niu nodded and walked quickly to the exhibition hall.
The middle-aged man named Shan who was setting up a stall nearby showed a proud smile when he saw this scene.
I guessed it right.
This young man is from an out-of-town unit. Otherwise, how could he know the people in the exhibition hall?
But there's something strange about it - where did his orchid, which looks so good, come from?
Looking at the sun that is getting brighter and brighter, I feel even more puzzled.
Does this Xiao Ji know how to grow flowers? Is it really possible to have orchids exposed to the sun like this?
The middle-aged man named Shan couldn't help but stealthily look at Ji Yuanhai and the two pretty little girls.
The one who looked a little frail just now was holding in his hand - eh, bloodstone?
The bracelet on your wrist seems to be very powerful?
Who is this?
There is really no shortage of money in this family!
The girl who came later had fair skin and a lively and elf temperament. Not to mention, she was not something ordinary families could have.
These three young men are really strange. What do they do?
Bloodstones, bracelets, such fine orchids... really can only make people think about something awesome.
The more the middle-aged man named Shan thought about it, the more puzzled he became. He couldn't figure out this way.
It wasn't until someone stopped to ask the price that he suddenly woke up and began to focus on his stall.
"Well, this pot of clivia..."
"Yes, that's the price. If you think it's expensive, go and ask elsewhere..."
The number of people going to the exhibition hall gradually increased.
Some black cars and jeeps began to rush to the exhibition hall one after another.
Some people come by bus, and some come on foot.
Most of those who came here today are usually interested in flowers and plants.
Especially those who came by bus or on foot happened to see about twenty more stalls on both sides of the road, so they stopped by and asked.
When asked about the price, most people shook their heads in shock and refused to buy it. They felt it was too expensive.
After all, these stalls are specially designed to bring some valuable things, which are certainly not affordable for ordinary salaried workers, students, and old men.
There are only a few stalls where the prices are relatively low, and some people find them interesting and want to buy them, but they plan to wait until they come back after seeing the flower show.
Suddenly, there were only two successful sales at these stalls on both sides of the road, and the total amount was less than ten yuan.
In front of Jiyuanhai's stall, the most people passed by, many asked about prices, and people walked the fastest.
The most people passed by was because Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun were too eye-catching and looked completely different from other uncles, uncles, and old men.
Moreover, there is no doubt that these orchids are beautiful and refreshing.
It looks more spiritual than other flowers and plants.
But as soon as I asked about the price, I just left.
Ji Yuanhai didn't even tell them the price of seven hundred yuan, he just said: "The price is hundreds. If you really want it, let's discuss it."
This has already scared people away.
Only two people tried to stay and negotiate the price.
One was a middle-aged intellectual wearing glasses. He gritted his teeth and negotiated a high price of one hundred and fifty yuan.
When he saw Ji Yuanhai, he didn't agree and left with great regret.
There is another one, an old man.
I bid 300, but when I saw that I still couldn't buy it, I had to shake my head and sigh and go to the flower exhibition hall to watch.
After about half an hour, the old man came back from the exhibition hall.
Standing in front of Ji Yuan Hai's stall, staring at a pot of Song Mei.
"Young man, what price do you want? Three hundred is really a lot, isn't it?"
Ji Yuanhai said: "Old man, I won't hide it from you. Someone just offered four hundred, but I didn't sell it."
The old man shook his head, took two steps, and looked back at Era Sea.
Seeing Ji Yuanhai, he didn't try to stop him, and walked back slowly, scratching his face.
"You name a price and I'll see if I can accept it."
Ji Yuanhai pondered for a moment and said: "Old man, if you really want it, bring 600 yuan over here and I will give it to you."
The price of seven hundred yuan just now left Ji Yuanhai room for counter-offering.
But the white-haired old stall owner could only sell up to four hundred, and Ji Yuanhai didn't agree.
When the old man heard the price, he grinned: "That's my one-year pension!"
"Young man, your price is really cruel!"
Ji Yuanhai repeated again how difficult it was to raise orchids in the north, and how difficult it was to cultivate these orchids.
And because of the difficulty of cultivating these orchids, how many unqualified orchids are discarded in the whole process.
The old man nodded: "If you say so, that's the truth."
"You leave me the pot I was looking at just now. I have to discuss it when I get home!"
"If you don't come at eleven o'clock, you can go out for takeout, okay?"
"Okay..." Ji Yuanhai said, "Old man, I have something to say beforehand. If someone offers a higher price, I will sell it."
"Our agreement is not final."
When the old man heard this, he immediately moved hurriedly: "Okay, just wait, I'll be back as soon as possible!"
"Slow down, don't be in a hurry, my business hasn't opened yet." Ji Yuanhai reminded him.
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man named Shan looking at him and asking, "Brother Shan, are you okay?"
