Chapter 105 Strange Plants
Ye Zhen was stopped by the aunt and felt a little confused. She didn't seem to know the person in front of her.
The aunt ignored Ye Zhen's embarrassment and continued to ask in a familiar tone:
"Young boss, when will you reopen this stall? We have been waiting for a long time."
Seeing that Ye Zhen was still confused, the aunt took a step closer, slapped her thigh, and said anxiously:
"Oh! Just a few months ago, remember? Were you selling plums at that roadside stall?"
Ye Zhen suddenly realized that the aunt in front of him was obviously Li Zi's customer at that time.
"Sorry, we don't have a stall now."
"What?! How long have you been doing this and you're quitting?"
"No, why is it arranged so nicely?"
The auntie was anxious. She had been buying vegetables for so many years, and her skill in selecting vegetables was unmatched by ordinary people.
It is no exaggeration to say that in this tiny county town, people buy vegetables and fruits every now and then, and they know exactly which vegetables are fresh, which vegetables are free of pesticides, which store on this street is short on weight, and which store owner is affordable and generous.
Apart from anything else, the stalls are generally quite fixed, and the vendors selling fruits and vegetables are the same faces coming and going.
There was a new face last time. The mushrooms looked fresh and the plums seemed to be of good quality, so I bought some just to try my luck.
I didn't expect that when I got home and fried a plate of minced meat and mushrooms, the smell spread to my neighbor's house before I even ate it.
When you put it in your mouth, it is so delicious that it makes your eyebrows drop!
The family didn't eat any other dishes and just picked up this dish and ate it with relish. The plates were empty after just a few bites of their chopsticks, and they were still not satisfied.
The whole family loves to eat mushroom dishes, and they would try them every year when mushrooms were on the market. Fortunately, she thought mushrooms were cheap at the time, so she bought a few more kilograms the next day.
That’s it, it’s finished in just a few meals!
During those days, the aroma of fried mushrooms wafted to my neighbors' homes, and some people were too embarrassed to come to ask about buying.
The kind that costs extra money!
But she rejected them all. Just kidding, her family didn't even have enough of these good things to eat.
I thought the boss would definitely set up a stall again when the mushrooms were on the market later, but I never expected that after just a few days, no one would come!
There are so many other mushroom vendors on the street, it doesn't make sense that they wouldn't come now that there are so many mushrooms.
For these few days, she would come over to take a look whenever she bought groceries. She didn't expect to finally meet the boss today.
But they don’t set up stalls anymore!
It's a bolt from the blue!
"Boss, your mushrooms are so delicious, why don't you put them on display?"
"Are you worried that mushrooms won't be sold out because there are too many people selling them now that mushrooms are on the market? Don't worry, your mushrooms are definitely the best to be the first to be sold."
Seeing that Ye Zhen didn't say anything, the aunt became anxious and kept trying to persuade him.
"As long as you put it out there, people will definitely come to buy from you!"
"Are you selling it too cheap? You can pay more! The quality of your mushrooms is so good. I don't think any other mushroom shop on this street can compare to yours!"
"Really? The mushrooms from other places don't taste as good as yours."
The auntie pulled and stepped on Ye Zhen hard, hoping that he would change his mind and continue to set up the stall.
After saying that, she stared at Ye Zhen eagerly. Seeing that Ye Zhen did not respond, she gritted her teeth and said with a painful expression that Ye Zhen could raise the price. Thinking about how delicious the mushrooms were, she was willing to pay more for them.
Just sell it to her alone!
Anyway, she didn't tell anyone else!
Ye Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only explain:
"That's not the reason. We have a regular merchant who buys our products, so we don't have to sell them ourselves."
"Thank you for your recognition of my mushrooms, but I'm really sorry."
The aunt was dumbfounded. Does this mean that she will never be able to eat it again?
But then I thought about it, the boss just said that there is a special purchasing department, so who is the one who purchases?
"Boss, who do you sell your vegetables to?" At worst she could buy them from somewhere else.
Ye Zhen did not hide this and told the aunt that it was purchased from Wanmao Supermarket.
However, there is no such large chain supermarket in the small county town.
If you want to go there, it is quite troublesome. You have to go to the provincial capital, which is the next city. It takes at least two or three hours to drive from here to there. It is not worth it just to buy some vegetables.
It seemed that the problem that had been bothering her for a long time had been solved, and the aunt said happily:
"It's okay. At worst I can just drive there to buy food for a week. If that doesn't work, I'll move there." Her younger son lives in the next city, so she won't live here with her older son.
This was really just for a delicious meal, and my son was completely forgotten.
Ye Zhen was completely convinced.
The aunt left contentedly, and Ye Zhen stopped bothering. Passing by a flower shop, he saw the climbing roses at the door blooming beautifully, with three or five flowers in red, yellow, white and pink.
The plant is not big, it's just right to take it home and take care of it
The boss was a middle-aged man. The store was quite quiet at this time. The boss was browsing on his phone. He just raised his eyelids and greeted:
"Just look for yourself if you want to buy anything. They are all well-maintained. The small potted plants are outside, and the cut flowers and low pots are inside. The prices are marked on them."
Ye really wanted to go inside and take a look. There were several pots of hydrangeas in beautiful bloom and the weeping crabapples were lush with leaves and flowers. They must have just been watered, as the branches and flowers looked swaying and green.
The air inside is fresh, and it feels cool and comfortable when you walk in. No wonder the boss is huddled among the flowers and leaves, sitting on a small stool.
However, the shop was filled with flowers and potted plants. When Ye Zhen passed by, the boss moved aside to let him pass, his eyes still fixed on his phone, extremely focused, not paying attention to business at all.
Ye Zhen glanced curiously and saw that his boss was looking at analysis of various national sports teams and was planning to buy a few shares when the time comes.
Ye Zhen remembered that Jincheng would soon start the World Sports Championships, and various countries would come to Jincheng to participate.
When the time comes, the population of Jincheng will gather and it will be lively again.
Ye Zhen shook her head. She had no interest in this.
I picked some climbing roses and planted a few under the windows at home. I can then build a rack and place the hydrangeas by the path.
The boss quickly stood up to help, and seeing that Ye Zhen bought a lot, he even offered a pot of succulents.
Ye Zhen looked around and saw a pot of withered plants in the corner of the store. He couldn't help but ask curiously:
'"Boss, can you give me that basin?"
The boss followed the line of sight and saw that it was the withered plant from before. Since it couldn't be saved anyway, he nodded in agreement:
"You can take it if you want. I'm going to die soon if you let me go."
But he still warned: "I have left this flower for a few days, and it won't survive."
The supply was good before, and it was not far from here that they purchased the goods. Yuncheng has a suitable climate and a wide variety of flowers and plants, most of which are supplied to other cities, such as Jincheng.
Consumption in small counties is not high, but people still like to grow flowers and plants. This county has a green plant base that specializes in supplying local businesses of all sizes.
The last time he made a purchase, he selected some common and easy-to-care-for flowers and plants. He also saw that the base had a new variety of Phalaenopsis orchids. There were clusters of flowers in a large pot, in tender yellow, crimson, and deep purple, in full bloom. Such beautiful flowers would easily attract customers if placed at the door of the store.
Unexpectedly, all the Phalaenopsis orchids that we purchased together were sold out, and I don’t know how this one got mixed in. Judging from the amount of oil on the leaves, it looks like an orchid but not exactly. I don’t know what kind of flower it is. It started to turn yellow after just a few days.
The shop owner didn't know what kind of flower this was, but Ye Zhen could feel a subtle spiritual energy remaining in the plant.
It may be that the merchant didn't know which mountain the plant was dug from and accidentally damaged the root system. After the plant was repotted, although it was carefully cared for, it was away from its original location and would have died long ago if it hadn't been supported by spiritual energy.
This aroused Ye Zhen's curiosity. Apart from the plants she cultivated herself, she had never seen any spiritual plants that grew natively.
Ye really wanted to go and see that precious land where plants grew.
"Boss, where do you buy your fruit trees? Are there other fruit trees there? I see a lot of different products online, and it's like panning for gold if I want to buy a real fruit tree."
The boss did not hide anything and listened to Ye Zhen's words with a look of understanding.
"It's at the foot of Wuping Mountain in the south of the city. There is a special base there. If you want to buy fruit trees, you've come to the right place. Most domestic varieties are available there."
She knew that Wuping Mountain was in another city, not far from here.
But she has never been there, so it seems she will have to go back and take a look.
Deciding the store's help, Ye Zhen called his younger brother Ye to move the small items, and moved the rest to the car by himself.
Put the pot of yellowing plant on the back seat and give it some spiritual energy to recover. If you want it to heal, you have to put it in a place with rich spiritual energy.
