Chapter 838 Lying to You
While they were talking, Manbao saw that the peonies she wanted had not arrived yet, so she couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you shipped them yet?"
The seller quickly said: "Wait a moment, the robot hasn't arrived yet, I'll send it later."
Keke said directly to Manbao: "He is lying. I have searched the transaction records of his store. For such a large transaction volume, the robots are always on standby."
The seller naturally couldn't hear their conversation. He was still talking on the other side, but Manbao was not happy to listen anymore and said, "Please send the item to me quickly, otherwise I will cancel the order and buy from another store."
The seller sensed Manbao's change in attitude and quickly said, "Manbao, I'll send you some more peony seeds. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Remember to come to me if you need anything in the future. Okay, the robot is here. I'll ship it to you."
Manbao waited for a long time before Keke reminded her that the package had been received. Until now, Manbao was still very curious about how they managed to receive the package as soon as it was shipped there.
Koko naturally wouldn't tell her.
Manbao took the things out of the system and began to unpack them. Two pots of half-opened white peonies appeared, with a large bag and a small bag next to them.
Manbao first looked at the big bag and found that it was fertilizer, so she put it into the system. She also put the two pots of peonies in it.
She picked up the small bag and took a look, and found that there was a large handful of seeds inside. She sniffed it with curiosity and felt that the future peony seeds would only look a little bigger than theirs, and there seemed to be no difference.
Manbao packed up all his things and then opened the door to go out.
Daji was about to go out to pick up the two young masters from school when he saw Manbao coming out and asked, "Miss Man, are you going to the government school?"
Manbao shook his head, "I won't go, you go."
Since Manbao didn't go to the provincial school, Bai Shan didn't read in the library. He borrowed two books from the library and came out, going home with Bai Erlang.
Bai Shan handed a borrowed book to Man Bao and said, "The book you're looking for on growing peonies and orchids isn't here."
“How many bookshelves have you searched?”
"I searched all the bookshelves on the first floor, but couldn't find a single copy. So I asked Mr. Wu, and he said there was no such book in the library. He had never even heard of such a book."
"Growing peonies and orchids is beautiful, but no one has written a book about it. There are articles on appreciating orchids and peonies, but they are rare. Do you want to read them?" Bai Shan said, "If you want to read them, I'll ask Mr. Wu to help find them."
There are still too many books in the library, and he has read too few of them, so if he wants to find this kind of niche article, he can only ask Mr. Wu for help.
Manbao also wanted to see how people of the time appreciated orchids and peonies. If she wanted to make money from this, she had to see what kind of flowers and plants people liked and what kind of flowers and plants they wanted.
Nothing can be gained without effort.
Bai Shan took note of this and asked, "Mr. went out for a social event today. What book did you read at home this afternoon?"
Manbao said: "I didn't read the book."
Bai Shan didn't believe it, "What did you do if you weren't reading?"
Manbao said, "I'm studying peonies."
Bai Shan couldn't help but gasp, "Are you really planning to go head-to-head with Hua Hua?"
Manbao said, "I think growing flowers makes money quickly. It's the best way I can find and do at the moment."
Bai Shan still didn't quite understand. "Shouldn't we focus more on investigating the case right now and use the remaining energy to study?"
Manbao said seriously: "I am doing these two things. By the way, has Erji been delivered?"
Bai Shan shook his head, feeling a little worried, "It hasn't been delivered yet."
They both looked at Daji, who lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Although Manbao and Baishan were worried, Magistrate Tang in the county government remained calm, so they did not dare to visit him too frequently, let alone mention the matter outside.
After all, this is on the territory of the King of Yizhou.
However, in order to upgrade Keke and expand the scope of scanning, Manbao studies and researches very hard every day.
For example, the next day she took money to the flower market and bought the flowers that Keke had scanned but had not yet included. Then she entered the space, carefully took the flowers out of the pots, and handed them to Keke for separate inclusion.
As Koko collected the plants, clods of soil, etc., he asked, "Why did the host go to so much trouble to remove the flowers and plants from their pots?"
It feels that it would be much more convenient to let it collect the entire thing.
Manbao said: "Because I have a use for the flowerpot."
After that, she selected two flower pots of appropriate size and took out the white peony she bought from the mall yesterday from the old-fashioned flower pot, and then slowly put it into her flower pot, added soil in the gaps, and poured some water.
Koko didn't expect that his host could be so stingy and completely inherited the attributes of the Zhou family.
Manbao worked hard while muttering, "It's too expensive. The flower you like is worth twelve taels. My father would be furious if he knew I spent four cows to buy a flower pot."
Koko remained silent.
Manbao continued muttering, "But if my father knew that someone used sixty-six cows to buy two pots of flowers from me, he would be so happy that he would die."
"But people buy flowers because they understand the joy in them, but I can't appreciate that joy, so I'd rather spend money on raw herbs. Three raw herbs shouldn't cost more than twelve taels, right?" Man Bao muttered as he finished planting the peonies. He sighed, "It's a pity the herbalist hasn't replied yet, and it will probably take them some time to find the herbs."
As she spoke, Manbao left the room and went to the study to attend class. After she finished all the classes for the day, she rejected Daji's invitation and sneaked out of the house.
Mr. Zhuang was sitting by the window and saw this, and couldn't help but frowning.
He asked the cook who came in to serve tea, "Did Manbao often go out these past two days when I wasn't home?"
"Yes, I've seen Miss Man at the flower market several times. She was watching people selling flowers." The cook smiled and said, "Miss Man has loved flowers and plants since she was a child, and she still hasn't changed even now. But Miss Man is very good at managing the household, so she only looks and doesn't buy."
Mr. Zhuang felt a little distressed when he heard this.
Who knew that just after the cook praised him like this, Manbao had someone bring back two flower pots in less than half an hour.
Bai Shan, who had been home for a long time and was about to go out to look for Manbao, opened his mouth wide when he saw the big white Peony being brought in.
Bai Shan asked, "Have you made a fortune?"
How could you afford two pots of such beautiful peonies?
Manbao, however, interpreted it differently and pointed at the two pots of flowers and said, "One pot is eight hundred taels, two pots is one thousand six hundred taels, that means we've made a fortune."
Bai Shan calmed down a little, reached out and touched her forehead and said, "You don't have a fever, do you?"
Manbao dodged his hand and said, "No."
"Then why are you dreaming in broad daylight? This isn't Yao Huang or Wei Zi, how could it be worth so much money?"
"That's how a flower shop in the flower market marked its prices."
Bai Erlang was shocked, "Really? Fake?"
Manbao: “Really!”
Bai Shan: "Fake!"
See you tomorrow, hahahaha, good night, it’s broken, let’s take turns using
