Su Yan planned to wholesale some of the various orchids that bloom medicinally to Yan Xi, and move some to the glass greenhouse in the courtyard to see if diners would buy some to display during the New Year.
Of course, when she returns, she will also go to the flower and bird market to buy a shop and find someone to help her sell flowers. Since her second sister-in-law has resigned, she can ask her second brother to help her sell flowers during the New Year.
Hua Zhang hired someone to transplant the orchids, and Su Yan watched them work every day to prevent them from killing the orchids' roots due to their rough hands.
Hua Xiangdong used Su Yan's method to prepare the soil for the flowers, while Hua Xiangnan asked someone to dig moss in the ravines. The three of them, father and son, had a clear division of labor, and with the help of the village chief.
They finished it in two days, 100 pots of Clivia, 200 pots of Phalaenopsis, 80 pots of Cymbidium, and 220 pots of Cymbidium.
Su Yan and her whole class planted some particularly precious orchids in their own space. She would only take them out when Yan Jun asked for them.
Of course, Su Yan would also place the exhibits in the glass greenhouse in advance. As for where those rare orchids came from, Su Yan naturally would not tell them.
Two days later, Yan Jun came to Lihua Village with his two friends and two truck drivers.
This was the first time Qin Peiran and Chen Jing came to Lihua Village. Seeing that Su Yan had rented more than 100 acres of land to grow flowers, they admired her courage very much.
When Su Yan saw them coming, she took the two brothers Hua Xiangdong and Hua Xiangnan to greet them.
Qin Peiran smiled gently and asked Su Yan, "Boss Su, your flower garden is quite large. I heard you also rented a mountain in Shanghe Village to grow fruit and over a hundred acres of land to grow medicinal herbs?"
Su Yan smiled and nodded, "I just planted a few."
Chen Jing joked, "You can plant hundreds of acres of land with just one plant. I admire you deeply."
"Mr. Qin and Mr. Chen, you are joking."
"Boss Su, you wholesale these flowers to our Xiao Junjun, can you sell some to me too?"
"Mr. Chen, are you planning to sell flowers too?"
"Why not? Xiao Junjun is planning to capture the markets in Hai City and Huacheng, and I plan to expand into Jin City, Hebei, and other places."
Su Yan was naturally happy that someone was helping her sell flowers. Her place was originally a planting base, and they could only occupy a share of the Beijing market by relying on themselves. Fortunately, Yan Jun and Chen Jing were tactful and did not mention selling in the Beijing market.
"Mr. Chen also wants to help me sell flowers. I have to thank you very much."
Yan Jun raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you thank us? Are you planning to give me a pot of top-quality orchids?"
How much money can she make by auctioning the top-quality orchids in Hong Kong? She is not so rich that she has no place to put it.
Su Yan smiled and said, "Apart from the orchids you reserved, you can pick any of the others and take them home as my New Year's gifts to you."
Qin Peiran narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Boss Su, is there a share for me?"
"Mr. Qin, since we are all friends, you naturally have a share. You can go into the greenhouse to visit. Of course, if you like the flowers grown in the wild, you can also dig up one or two to take home."
Before Qin Peiran could say anything, Chen Jing interrupted, "Really? Boss Su, my grandfather likes peonies. Can I pick a black peony?"
"How do you know I have black peonies?"
"Little Junjun said so."
"It's hard to transplant peonies in winter, and those orchids are already planted in clay pots. I'm selling them to you just to change their soil and pots."
"Then I'll come back in the spring to ask for peonies."
"Can."
Su Yan introduced the two brothers Hua Xiangnan and Hua Xiangdong to them, and asked them to take them on a tour. She then went back to her residence and arranged for someone to prepare a sumptuous meal.
When guests come, she has to entertain them no matter what. After all, these noble young men from Beijing are now her gods of wealth, and she has to treat them well.
Qin Peiran was a little disappointed to see Su Yan leave. He didn't know what happened. Yan Jun had said two days ago that he would come to Lihua Village, so he dragged Chen Jing to come and take a look.
Even though he still had a lot of work waiting for him, he couldn't help but come over with his brother to take a look.
Unfortunately, he was not familiar with other cities, so he naturally couldn't help her sell orchids. He wanted to cooperate with Yan Jun, but that guy made a lot of money after going to Hong Kong City, so naturally he didn't want him to get involved.
Forget it, after the garment factory is completed, he will come to find Boss Su to cooperate.
Yan Jun teased, "Brother Peipei, what are you thinking about so intently?"
"I'm admiring the flowers. That one should be a rose, and it seems to be a foreign variety." Qin Peiran changed the subject.
"How did you know? I thought it was a rose?"
"Roses are different from roses."
"Then how do you know they are imported varieties?"
"Even though it's winter now, judging by the thorns on their branches, I guess they're different from ordinary roses."
At this time, Chen Jing interrupted and said, "Okay, you two stop arguing. Go ask Boss Su later and you'll find out what kind of roses she planted.
Xiao Junjun, you are here to pick up the goods today. If you don’t need so much at once, you can give me some. It’s Chinese New Year and I want to make some money for the New Year.”
"Tsk, you can wait a little longer if you want orchids. I want all the flowers that Boss Su prepared today. I have the money ready and am just waiting to pay."
"Xiao Junjun's private money has increased again. Do you still need someone to invest in that entertainment city?"
"Of course I want it. All our family money is in the hands of the old man. I don't have as much private money as my brother. I'm very poor, so of course I have to find someone to invest.
Okay, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s go and see today’s goods. I heard that Boss Su has prepared a lot of orchids.”
At this time, Hua Xiangdong stood up and said, "Boss, follow me to see the orchids! Let's go into the greenhouse first to see the orchids that have not been repotted. Pick out the ones you like. My cousin's wife will give you two pots each."
"Let's go. If Boss Su really wants to give us flowers, we won't be polite to her."
A group of people went to visit the greenhouse and picked out the orchids that Su Yan had promised to give them. Yan Jun picked two pots of cymbidium orchids, Qin Peiran picked two pots of Phalaenopsis orchids, and Chen Jing picked one pot of Cymbidium orchids and one pot of Phalaenopsis orchids.
After picking the flowers, Yan Jun and his team went to see the ordered goods. After checking that there were no problems, they asked people to start loading them.
Hua Xiangnan walked over to Yan Jun and said, "Boss Yan, my cousin's wife asked someone to prepare a sumptuous meal. It will take some time to pack all these flowers. Let's go back and eat first."
"Hey, Boss Su, are you going to invite us to have lunch? We can't refuse such a kind offer, so let's go and try it."
Su Yan built a small courtyard in Lihua Village so that she would have a place to live when she came to Lihua Village and would not have to trouble her uncle.
Since she was having a dinner party today, she asked Hua Xiangnan's wife to come and help her and prepare a large table of dishes.
When Hua Xiangnan and Yan Jun and his group entered the room, Chen Jing exclaimed, "Boss Su, there are orchids in your dish?"
"Well, this is called Orchid Belly Silk."
“I didn’t expect orchids could be so practical!”
"Jianlan is not only ornamental, but also edible, medicinal, and beauty-enhancing. Its flowers can be stir-fried, mixed with salad, or made into soup."
"Boss Su is amazing! This is the first time I've heard that orchids can be eaten."
Su Yan smiled. She had to let them see that orchids were not only ornamental, but some of them also had medicinal and edible value.
