Chapter 46 Those Flowers 3

Although it was nice to see the flowers already prepared, Dora and Grace were a little frustrated because they wanted to cut the flowers themselves.

Zhang Wei saw that there was still enough time. The event would not start until 1:30 in the afternoon, and it was not yet 12:30. It looked like some more flower baskets could still be squeezed in. She decided to add ten more flowers to each basket.

Then Dora and Grace ran towards the flowers happily with gardening shears, and Zhang Wei was no exception.

But they were all good kids and had their hair cut under Chris's guidance. Although they were sweating profusely, they were still very happy.

In the end, in addition to the original red and yellow colors, the flower basket also included champagne roses, white roses and multi-headed roses.

The three of them arrived at the school with a car full of flowers, but the baskets were a bit heavy. The driver wanted to help them carry them in, but the guard didn't allow it. So the three of them stood at the door with three big baskets of flowers.

This was also Zhang Wei's inconsiderateness. Chris had been the one who carried the flowers to the car before, and he hadn't considered that their weak arms and legs couldn't lift them. She even thought about carrying the flower baskets around...

Zhang Wei saw that there were no people at the school gate at this time and could not find anyone to help, so he took a few red roses from the basket and said to Dora and Grace:

"Wait here for me, I'll go find someone to help."

She was originally planning to walk towards the teaching building, but after thinking about it, she decided to walk towards the flea market. She found that it was already very lively there. Thinking of what Manny said, she quickly walked towards the entrance.

Sure enough, Manny's stall was seen not far from an entrance with colorful banners. He and several classmates were placing items for sale. It seemed that they were running a stall together.

Zhang Wei walked over quickly: "Hi, Manny!"

"Vera, you're here too early. We haven't finished tidying up yet. You can take a look first and see if there's anything you want."

Manny was very happy to see her. Apparently, he had forgotten that she also had things to sell. Zhang Wei had to remind her:

"No, no, I'm not here to buy anything. I need your help."

Manny put down what he was holding and said seriously, "Look, we are busy, the market is about to start, I can't leave here."

"It won't take long. I brought you some roses. It'll only take ten minutes, no, five minutes, please—"

Zhang Wei distributed the roses to Manny and his other two classmates, and asked with her hands clasped together.

The two students took the roses with some surprise and looked at Manny.

He felt a little helpless: "Okay, tell me, let's see how I can help."

Zhang Wei said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Our flower basket is too heavy for us to lift. It's still at the school gate. We'd like to ask you to help carry it over."

Manny looked at the time and saw that there were still more than ten minutes before the start. He then said, "Hurry, let's go now!"

Then he left one person to watch the stall, and took a strong-looking male classmate with Zhang Wei to run towards the school gate.

From a distance, I could see Dora and Grace leaning against the flower basket, looking somewhat depressed.

"Dora, Grace! We're coming!"

"Great!" They immediately came back to life like two wilted flowers.

Originally, Zhang Wei decided that the three of them would carry one basket, and Manny and his classmates would carry the other two baskets. However, Manny and his classmates said that the baskets were not too heavy, and insisted on two of them carrying three baskets.

After arriving at the venue, all the booths with tents were occupied. In the end, Manny and his friends moved some space for them. Now the three of them felt a little sorry...

But there was more to regret. Zhang Wei and her team had already placed several orders, but few people even came to see Manny and his team.

Every time Zhang Wei sold a flower, he seemed to feel the resentful gazes of Manny and the other three people next to him.

She was also willing to exchange things, but now most of the people who came to shop were empty-handed, so Zhang Wei sold them for one dollar each.

Half a basket was sold out almost immediately. A young lady asked for twenty sticks at once, but Zhang Wei didn't have the change for the fifty dollars she gave him. In the end, Manny gave him the change.

The sale was so fast thanks to them. The stall Manny and his friends found was really close to the exit. Even those who didn't want to shop would walk a little inside once they arrived. Moreover, the flowers of Zhang Wei and his friends were the brightest colors on the entire street.

When Zhang Wei and her friends had sold a basket of flowers, Manny and his friends' stall finally opened.

He sold a football that looked almost new for ten dollars.

Zhang Wei looked at the other things Manny had displayed. Some of them were old books, and others were some materials that looked like reagents. There were also iron towers and houses that he had made with the leftover materials from making models.

His two companions had similar things, and football was the only thing that looked like something a normal child would like.

She felt that if he wanted to sell these things, he had to wait for the right person to buy them, as ordinary people would not be able to appreciate them.

There was only one basket left, and no new people came in. Seeing that Grace had lost her patience, Zhang Wei divided the remaining flowers into three parts, giving each person twenty or thirty flowers, and then they went to visit other stalls separately.

The basket was woven from plastic, so it wasn't heavy even after taking out the floral mud. Each person got a few dozen dollars, so it was enough supplies. We could put the things we exchanged in the basket and take them back when the time came.

Zhang Wei visited several stalls and found that the girls' stalls were more interesting. They had shiny hair accessories and jewelry, various dolls, handicrafts, puzzles, and even musical instruments.

Any one of them must have been worth a fortune when they were bought, but now they are only worth a few dollars. Even Zhang Wei couldn't help but exchange three roses for a small pearl bracelet.

Books are the easiest to get here. Zhang Wei even just flipped through the books in front of the stall, and the stall owner offered to give them to her. However, she also symbolically gave him roses and some US dollars.

She also found a chess collector, a boy with round-framed glasses who looked like Harry Potter.

On it were various chess games that Zhang Wei had seen or not seen before, in addition to chess, international checkers, various types of marching chess, and educational chess games. What surprised her was that she actually discovered Chinese chess!

She immediately pointed at the round chess pieces and said, "This is Chinese chess!"

"Yes! I'm glad you recognize them. Do you need them? That big box is full of Chinese chess." The boy said, pointing to the big box.

Zhang Wei saw that the cardboard box was several dozen centimeters high. She picked up the wooden chessboard on top and found that there seemed to be Go underneath. She was a little unsure.

There were two flat porcelain jars of green and yellow color. When you opened them, you saw one jar full of crystal clear blue chess pieces, and the other jar was green. Its shape was like Go, flat on the bottom and round on the top, but I had never seen this color before.
