"Fusarium wilt. This disease is prone to occur in high temperature and high humidity conditions."
Shi Qingluo continued, "The capital city shouldn't be as hot and humid as ours, so when you brought it back, Juhua got sick soon after."
"It can be cured, but I need to take it home for a while."
She does know how to cure it. Although there are no modern disinfectants and sterilizers, spiritual springs can be used as a substitute.
She had tried it many times before. As long as the plants were not really dead, they would recover and grow better after a period of time after being watered with the spiritual spring water.
Bai Xu thought about it and said, "Can't you come to my house every day for treatment?"
Shi Qingluo: "..."
She didn't have the time. Besides, she could only use basic methods to treat the patient in front of Bai Xu at the Bai family and couldn't use spiritual spring water.
"No, my master said that our Luoxia Temple's secret flower-growing techniques cannot be passed on to others."
She paused and said, "Besides, I have to take care of you sick flower every morning, noon and night. I can't come to the county town every day."
Bai Xu thought about it and asked repeatedly: "Are you sure you can cure it if you take it back?"
Shi Qingluo rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course I am sure, but if you don't believe it, then forget it."
You should take it when it is time to take it, so that you appear more capable.
Business that is too competitive is not profitable.
Then she gave Bai Xu an expression that said, "Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, then forget it."
Bai Xu: “…” Xiao Hanzheng’s wife is a bit arrogant!
Seeing that Shi Qingluo was serious, Bai Xu felt helpless.
Not to mention that Zi Ju spent so much money on it, the key point is that he really likes it.
This is the only chrysanthemum in the county. From time to time, literati come to visit, which allows him to better integrate into the literati circle.
So it’s okay for him to ask a few uncertain questions, right?
He asked, "What will happen to this flower if it is not treated?"
Shi Qingluo replied truthfully: "The leaves and branches turned dark brown, rotted, drooped and withered, and then died soon."
To Bai Xu, it sounded similar to what the best gardener in the county said.
He said, "Okay, I believe you."
He had no choice now and could only believe that Shi Qingluo could cure it, otherwise the flower would be ruined.
He added: "You can take it home for treatment, but I need to find time to come and see it."
Shi Qingluo: “…” Make this flower look like your true love.
But she could see that Bai Xu really liked flowers, but he was not crazy about them.
I guess there are some other purposes for growing these flowers besides just a hobby.
It has to be said that she guessed the truth casually. Bai Xu just wanted to use flowers to break into some circles that he originally could not fit into.
She said speechlessly: "Okay, as long as you are happy."
Bai Xu asked: "If you cure Hua, what reward do you want?"
Shi Qingluo didn't know the price of Daliang Zhihua either, "What do you think it's worth after it's healed? Then you can decide how much it's worth."
Bai Xu: "..." I think it's worth a thousand gold, can I give you a thousand gold? Shi Qingluo added.
"By the way, not only can I cure your flower, but I can also make its color deeper, brighter and purer than when you first bought it."
Lingquan is so effective when used on plants.
After hearing this, Bai Xu became less sure.
Not only can it cure diseases, but it can also make flowers look better. Is this true? Is it that amazing?
But since everything was going to be handed over to Shi Qingluozhi, even if he had great doubts in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you name a price yourself? I've never hired someone to do flower treatments before, so I can't be sure of the price."
"You name a price for the treatment. If I think it's okay, I'll make the deal. If not, I'll have to reluctantly let the flower wither."
This way she can estimate the cost of treatment.
As for the several hundred taels mentioned by Xiaowu, she thought it was unlikely.
Bai Xu: "..." Xiao Hanzheng's little wife is a bit difficult to deal with! He said helplessly: "One hundred and sixty taels."
This is the truth. The few hundred taels were just boasted to others by his servant.
However, when this flower was first cultivated, it could indeed be sold for several hundred taels.
In order to prevent Xiao Hanzheng's wife from cheating him, he told her the actual price.
Shi Qingluo found that this guy was not an honest person either. "I will help you cure the flower, and I guarantee it will be better than when you bought it. How about you give me twenty taels as a reward?"
She didn't ask for too much just because Bai Xu was in a hurry to treat Zi Ju.
First of all, she is not that kind of person.
Secondly, she also wanted to make friends with Bai Xu, as she felt that she would be able to use him in the future.
This price was within Bai Xu's acceptable range. In fact, he was prepared for Shi Qingluo to ask for a higher price.
Anyway, as long as she bids higher than fifty taels, he will not treat it. At worst, he can go to the capital to buy a new one.
After all, who knows if she can really be cured.
"Sure." Bai Xu nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "What if you can't cure it?"
Shi Qingluo waved his hand, "No such thing will happen."
Bai Xu: "..." Isn't this a bit too confident? He thought it would be better to explain it clearly, "What if it happens?"
He is a businessman and can spend money to treat the disease, but if there is any problem, he cannot bear it alone. After all, it was she who came to him and offered to help treat the disease.
Shi Qingluo knew what he meant at a glance, "If it can't be cured, I will compensate you at the original price."
She added: "You know my husband Xiao Hanzheng, right? I'll use his reputation to guarantee this."
"If I can't cure you and can't give you the 160 taels, my husband will pay you back."
It looks like I'm handing over my husband to you.
After saying that, she even said to Xiao's mother beside her: "Right, mother?"
Mother Xiao now trusts Shi Qingluo and nodded: "Yes, my son can guarantee it."
Bai Xu: “…” Suddenly I felt a little sympathy for Xiao Hanzheng, who was sold out by his wife and mother.
"Okay, although I'm not familiar with Xiao Xiucai, I trust his character."
"But should we put it in writing as a proof?"
Shi Qingluo nodded: "No problem, let's write it down as proof."
This guy really has the nature of a profiteer. He is very smart and will not suffer any loss.
Seeing that she agreed, Bai Xu immediately ordered Xiao Si to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After taking it, he wrote a document and read it to Shi Qingluo.
"If you have no questions, you can press your fingerprints."
"If you don't believe what I read, you can go outside and find someone to read it first, and then press your fingerprints."
Shi Qingluo was speechless: "You look at me as if I can't read?"
After she finished speaking, she picked up the brush and signed her name below.
Bai Xu: “…” She doesn’t look like one at all. She looks pale and skinny, and looks like a village woman.
Moreover, in his impression, few women in the county town were literate, let alone in the village.
However, when he looked down and saw Shi Qingluo's name written in beautiful small calligraphy, he silently took back his words.
He was wrong. Xiao Hanzheng's young wife seemed to be a little bit unusual.
