"Hiss, it really is Tian Yihe!"
"It's the mutated Tian Yi He, a unique piece! So beautiful!"
"Old Tang, tell me quickly, why is Tian Yihe here?"
After taking a careful look, Professor Du finally confirmed the species.
Looking at the flowers of Tianyihe, I couldn't take my eyes off them, and my love for them was beyond words.
"How is it? You haven't seen it before, right? How do you think this pot of Tian Yi He compares to the one that Old Chen has?"
Tang Yuanming asked proudly.
The Old Chen he mentioned is actually Mr. Chen Jiwen, the original owner of Tianyihe. In the early 1990s, he began to select and cultivate the world's first Tianyihe and named it.
At that time, a Tianyihe plant was sold at a sky-high price of tens of millions in the 1990s, which was extremely popular!
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say. After all, times are different."
"This Tianyi Lotus has a beautiful shape, with thick, curved leaves that are dark green in color. There are no signs of grafting, and it looks like a wild variety."
"This flower in particular has strong, upright stems and large, slightly curled petals, just like a shy girl in a white dress. Wonderful, wonderful!"
Professor Du held the flower pot and looked around, praising it highly.
"You have good taste. This is really a pure wild Tianyi lotus."
Tang Yuanming nodded proudly, seeing his old friend impressed by a pot of flowers.
It was like a child who had won a toy competition, his face full of wrinkles from smiling.
"Only the magic of nature can create such outstanding orchids. Why don't you send such beautiful orchids to the exhibition, Old Tang?"
"As you know, with the rapid development of the country, there are fewer and fewer old people cultivating orchids. There haven't been any good works in more than ten years. Young people are impatient and no one is willing to learn. The tradition is almost broken."
"But our orchid-growing technology has been passed on to foreign countries, where it has been further developed. Now if you go to the orchid exposition held every year, you will find that orchid works from abroad are always overshadowed. I am so anxious!"
After Professor Du finished looking at the orchid, he suddenly thought of this.
Orchids have been a symbol of gentleman since ancient times, and cultivating orchids is an elegant thing.
It is better to say that flowers nurture people than people nurture flowers.
Growing an outstanding orchid requires a lot of time and effort.
Just like making friends with an orchid, you need to carefully care for it day and night, and it may take several years or even more than ten years to harvest an excellent orchid.
It's just that no one is willing to spend time doing such boring things now.
Mr. Tang was stunned for a moment. He had indeed thought about the orchid exhibition.
It’s just that he wanted to take his own works to the exhibition, not the Tian Yihe that Jiang Che gave to his granddaughter.
It’s not that he hasn’t produced any works over the years, but he always felt that they were a little lacking in quality, so he has been dragging it on until now.
Now with Jiang Che's help, he is confident about his new work.
"Old Du, don't worry. Do you think I don't want to participate in the exhibition? It's just that this Tianyi Lotus is not mine, but my granddaughter's."
"I haven't finished my own work yet, but it will be soon. I've already decided to participate in the Kyoto Orchid Exhibition in December this year."
Old Master Tang immediately said that with Jiang Che's help and his own previous efforts, half a year would be enough.
"Really? Are you so confident that you can succeed?"
Professor Du asked in disbelief, he also knew about Mr. Tang's works.
He had seen it in the provincial capital before, but now even the flowers haven't bloomed.
"Whether it will succeed or not, you will know when the time comes."
Tang Yuanming had a proud look on his face. As soon as the research institute was established, he moved all the flowers and plants from the greenhouse in the provincial capital here.
And with Lao Pan and Lao Sun here, the three of them hope to cultivate rare and precious flowers.
When it is sent to Kyoto for exhibition, it must dazzle everyone's eyes.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
"Old men, let's talk later. We're having dinner."
Chen Xiuzhi came out and shouted at this time.
Everyone stopped talking immediately, and Tang Tian immediately carried Tian Yihe into the room.
This is the first gift Jiang Che gave her, so it can’t be damaged.
Grandpa is really something. Even at such an old age, he still likes to show off so much.
"Excuse me, big sister."
"Aunt Chen, I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance."
Professor Du and Chen Yufei quickly stood up and said embarrassedly.
"Well, what's the big deal? You're a guest now, so it's just a matter of adding some bowls and chopsticks."
"I'm really looking forward to you coming here. The countryside is bustling with activity every day, and life is prosperous then, isn't it?"
Chen Xiuzhi looked nonchalant. Ever since her son came back, the family had more people and their days were more fulfilling.
Soon, two large tables were filled with dishes, most of which were ingredients brought by the villagers in the morning.
Jiang Che took Yuanbao's rice bowl and ran to the kitchen, got another large bowl of rabbit meat and scooped a large spoonful of rice.
Then he picked up a hot spring arowana and put it into Yuanbao's rice bowl. Of course, the rice bowl of red cloud black beans and kidney beans also contained braised rabbit meat.
There is only one hot spring arowana, so I won’t give it to them.
Yuanbao had been waiting outside for a long time. As soon as Jiang Che put down the food bowl, Yuanbao couldn't wait to dive in.
After the hot spring dragon fish is braised, the aroma is so tempting.
Black Bean, Kidney Bean and Hongyun were eating the rabbit meat in their bowls. When they smelled the fragrance, they would look up at Yuanbao's rice bowl from time to time.
I even ran over to take a look, and when I saw the fish in its bowl, I was unhappy and immediately ran to grab it.
There was no way he would let them snatch the ingots, so he hurried up and didn't even raise his head while eating.
He ran forward with the rice bowl on his head, and the stainless steel bowl made a crackling sound.
Everyone heard the sound and looked over, and immediately laughed.
"Do Xiao Che and Yuan Bao usually eat like this? Do they rush to eat more delicious food?"
Professor Du was having dinner at Jiang Che's house for the first time and didn't understand the situation, so he asked with a smile.
"No, Professor Du, they usually eat very well."
"It's my fault too. I caught a few fish in the mountains this morning and gave them a Yuanbao. They probably smelled it and wanted to eat it."
Jiang Che said this with a smile, then left his seat and went to separate the little guys. He promised to give them a beast and a fish in the evening, and only then did they give up.
Yuanbao raised his dry mouth and swallowed all the fish bones, looking at the black beans, kidney beans and red clouds with disdain.
If you want to steal the ingots to eat, no way.
Jiang Che returned to his seat and asked, "What kind of fish are they so excited about? I have to take a closer look."
"The last dish is here, steamed fish."
Chen Xiuzhi was holding a large plate with a steamed pink fish on it. It was poured with a little soup and looked as beautiful as if it were alive.
Professor Du looked at the fish with a smile, but the smile gradually disappeared. He stood up in shock with his eyes wide open.
"How come there is such a fish here?!"
