When Lu Lingxi got home at night, he could smell a strong aroma from a distance, like tomatoes and soy sauce. The aroma filled the entire corridor, and before Lu Lingxi could do anything, Dahei was already drooling.
"Little foodie."
Lu Lingxi flicked Dahei's head with his finger, speaking in an intimate tone. He still remembered that when he first met Dahei, Dahei didn't even dare to eat his fill, for fear that he would be rejected and thrown away by them for eating too much. After just a few days, Dahei revealed his nature as a foodie, and almost half of the ripe tomatoes in the backyard went into Dahei's stomach. Even he, Wang Shuxiu and Yi Hang couldn't eat more than Dahei.
After talking about Dahei, Lu Lingxi was about to look for the key when the door opened from the inside. Wang Shuxiu looked at him strangely, "Why did you come back so early today?"
"If something happened in the store, we closed it early." Lu Lingxi said obediently.
Wang Shuxiu opened the door and looked at Lu Lingxi squatting at the door wiping Dahei's paws. The corners of her mouth twitched and she ordered, "You're back just in time. I made some tomato sauce. Pick some tomatoes and bring some sauce to Yihang's house later."
Yi Hang and Lu Lingxi get along well, and Lu Lingxi found a job thanks to Yi Hang. Wang Shuxiu saw that Yi Hang liked to eat tomatoes, so she loved him so much that she made tomato sauce without forgetting him.
Lu Lingxi agreed, washed his hands, and instead of going to Yi Hang's house, he squeezed next to Wang Shuxiu.
Wang Shuxiu was watching the fire in the kitchen as tomato sauce was being cooked. The plump and juicy tomatoes were cooked together with soybean paste, and some minced meat, salt, MSG and other seasonings were added. The whole kitchen was filled with a strange fragrance, which was much stronger than the aroma in the corridor.
Dahei squatted at the kitchen door, staring at the thick sauce in the pot with shining eyes.
Wang Shuxiu glared at it with amusement and hurried Lu Lingxi out of the kitchen. "Go away, why are you here to join in the fun? Are you hot? Take Dahei out quickly." The kitchen in the old-fashioned house was small to begin with, and there was no air conditioning at home. Wang Shuxiu had already been sweating from the heat. Now there was another person and a dog in the kitchen, and they were all crowding around her. Wang Shuxiu felt that she was about to die of the heat.
Lu Lingxi didn't leave, but obediently took a stack of newspapers and fanned Wang Shuxiu. While fanning, she said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Wang Shuxiu said casually without paying much attention.
Lu Lingxi said carefully: "You know the gardening shop where I work, the owner, Sister Du, is going back to her hometown, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Shuxiu looked enlightened and said, "Did you lose your job? It's okay, mom will support you."
Lu Lingxi felt warm in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. He put one hand on Wang Shuxiu's arm affectionately, shook his head and whispered, "I'll take over the store."
"What?" Lu Lingxi's words were like a bomb. Wang Shuxiu suddenly raised her voice and looked at him suspiciously, "Where did you get the money?" Did the little bastard do something bad? Wang Shuxiu muttered to herself.
This matter is complicated to explain clearly. If we really want to go into details, we have to start with Lu Yishui. Lu Lingxi is not stupid, and he doesn't want to make Wang Shuxiu worry, so he skipped the previous preparations and started from the sale of the spring orchid this morning. However, he didn't dare to say that he sold it for 300,000 yuan, but only said that he sold it for 100,000 yuan and took over the store with another person, and the two of them took half each.
Wang Shuxiu felt like she was listening to a story. A stubble flower she picked up was sold for 100,000 yuan? "Are you treating your mother like a fool?"
"..." Lu Lingxi said seriously: "Really."
Wang Shuxiu suddenly turned off the fire, "You little bastard, are you kidding me?"
Lu Lingxi shook his head. He had already underestimated the amount by two hundred thousand.
Wang Shuxiu was no longer in the mood to make tomato sauce. She wiped her hands hastily and pulled Lu Lingxi to the living room. "Come on, tell mom what's going on."
Dahei struggled for a while between the iron pot that exuded a rich aroma and Lu Lingxi, but finally chose Lu Lingxi and squatted quietly at his feet.
Lu Lingxi habitually patted Dahei's head and recounted the whole story again, cutting out a few details. After listening to it, Wang Shuxiu began to worry about another thing. "What about the person you are in partnership with? Are you stupid enough to be sold out and still count the money for him?"
"No, Brother Yan is a good man." Lu Lingxi defended Yan Yue.
Wang Shuxiu thought for a moment and slammed the table, "Okay, you don't have the final say on who's the good guy, the bad guy, or the little bastard. Isn't he in partnership with you? Invite him to come over for dinner some other day."
"Oh." Lu Lingxi agreed obediently, thinking that Yan Yue had helped him a lot, and it was time to treat Yan Yue to a meal. He just didn't know if Yan Yue could get used to home-cooked meals, he shouldn't be too picky.
No matter how worried Wang Shuxiu was, fearing that the little bastard would suffer in society, Micro Gardening was simply transferred to Lu Lingxi's name, in black and white, and even the legal person on the business license was changed to Lu Lingxi.
During this series of processes, Lu Lingxi kept a low profile and did not deliberately promote it, but other shop owners on the street still knew about it. Dong Zhi was the first to jokingly ask Lu Lingxi if he wanted to hold a grand opening ceremony, but Lu Lingxi rejected it. He felt that the current situation was good, and he did not even plan to change the sign of Micro Gardening. Anyway, it would remain the same as before, and everyone just needed to know that the boss had changed behind the scenes.
Dong Zhi smiled, and then discussed with several other shop owners to pool their money to give Lu Lingxi a silver ecological fish tank, along with several goldfish of various shapes. To paraphrase Dong Zhi, water represents wealth, and fish also represent wealth. With flowers, grass, water, and fish, Xiaoxi's shop is blessed with a lot of money.
Lu Lingxi didn't really believe in these, but because of everyone's good intentions, he accepted them. The most important thing is that Dahei likes this fish tank very much. Since the fish tank was placed on the cash register, Dahei has one more thing to do every day to watch the fish. He squats under the cash register when he has nothing to do, and his eyes follow the fish inside. Fortunately, Dahei is a dog and not a cat, otherwise Lu Lingxi would be worried about the lives of these fish.
I don’t know if it’s really this fish tank that brings in the money. Before Lu Lingxi has sorted out the affairs of the store, Brother Han, who hasn’t been there for a while, came to see him again.
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi." Brother Han's loud voice sounded from far away. Lu Lingxi, who was tidying up the cabinet, stopped and looked over, and saw Brother Han walking in with sweat all over his forehead. "This damn weather is so hot." Brother Han couldn't help but complain.
Lu Lingxi brought a glass of ice water to Brother Han, who gulped it all down in one breath and then sighed comfortably, "It's still more comfortable here, Xiaoxi."
Because the store was full of flowers and plants, Du Lin had never installed air conditioning before, and Lu Lingxi naturally wouldn't install it after taking over. But even though the store didn't have air conditioning, it wasn't hot at all. Lush green plants filled every space in the store, and when you were there, you would unconsciously have the illusion of being in the wild. You would feel that the dryness in your body was swept away, and you would feel refreshed and indescribably comfortable.
Lu Lingxi smiled. He was used to the environment in the store and felt too hot outside. "Brother Han, is there anything wrong?"
"Yes!" Brother Han said simply, "I'm here to do business with you."
Han Ge’s unit is a public institution, and they just received a notice that the superior unit will come to inspect in a few days. Han Ge’s leader thought about it and decided to buy some potted plants and put them in various offices to decorate. Han Ge has long wanted to persuade their leaders to buy some potted plants to improve the environment, even if it is just to change their eyes when they are tired from work. This time, he was immediately happy when he heard it, and took the initiative to volunteer to do this. The first person he thought of was Lu Lingxi. The green plants in the young man’s store are really good. I don’t know if it’s his illusion, but he always feels that the pot of big flower Clivia at home makes people feel indescribably refreshed when they get close to it, just like the feeling of being in micro gardening.
With such a selfish motive, Brother Han wanted to put a few pots in the office. "Xiaoxi, what do you recommend?" He simply gave the choice to Lu Lingxi.
There are actually some rules for placing some flowers and plants in the office. The first one is that they should be easy to grow. After all, people who work in the office are not professional flower growers, and Lu Lingxi himself cannot go to see them every day. If he encounters some difficult and delicate flowers and plants, they will die in two days, and the gardening store will be ruined. In addition to being easy to grow, Lu Lingxi tends to place some foliage plants or succulents. After all, the office is a place for work, and green decoration should be mainly elegant, creating a quiet, elegant and bright environment. Flowers that are too strong can be decorated with one or two pots, but more fresh green plants are better.
When Lu Lingxi mentioned this, Brother Han nodded. "Whatever you say, Xiaoxi, that's it."
Lu Lingxi smiled shyly and asked, "Brother Han, what kind of flowerpot do you want?"
Anyone who has grown flowers knows that there are many types of pots, and different plants need different pots. But most people who purchase in bulk like offices like to have a unified style, so Lu Lingxi had to ask.
Sure enough, Brother Han hesitated for two seconds and said, "Let's unify them. How about all the brown pottery basins?"
"Okay!" The ceramic pot is breathable and water-permeable, and the pot body is heavy, so the plant is not easy to fall over. The only trouble is that the pot is heavy and not very convenient to carry, but since it is an office, it should not be moved casually, so it doesn't have much impact.
Han Ge's company has many offices, so the total purchase amount is a large number. Lu Lingxi patiently wrote down everything he needed. After this deal, at least a quarter of the green plants in the store would be sold. After the two of them had a deal, Han Ge readily left a deposit of 3,000 yuan, and Lu Lingxi would make up the rest when he went to deliver the goods. He had great faith in Lu Lingxi's character, and after agreeing on the time and place for delivery, Han Ge left in a hurry.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the store, Lu Lingxi started working on the order. When Yan Yue looked over, he saw Lu Lingxi biting the tip of a pen and writing and drawing on a piece of white paper.
"What are you busy with?"
"Brother Yan, you're here?" Lu Lingxi was a little surprised. He hadn't seen Yan Yue for a week since he came back from the flower garden. It seemed that something happened at Yan Yue's home and he was busy. The two of them contacted each other by phone every day.
Yan Yue missed Lu Lingxi badly after not seeing him for a week. He quietly squeezed in beside the boy, almost sticking to him, under the pretext of seeing what Lu Lingxi was doing. Lu Lingxi didn't notice anything and happily showed Yan Yue what he had written before.
"Brother Yan, look, Brother Han has ordered more than 30 potted plants from us. This is the biggest deal I've done in Micro Gardening."
The so-called biggest business of Lu Lingxi only had a total amount of tens of thousands of yuan, and the profit left after deducting the cost was not much, which was nothing to Yan Yue's wealth. But when he saw the boy's excited expression, the boy biting the pen to calculate the final profit, and the boy carefully recording this business, his heart softened suddenly. This was a business between him and the boy, and it belonged only to the two of them. This sense of accomplishment was much stronger than when he signed a contract at Hepu and made millions, and even the sense of accomplishment brought to him by Dezhi Investment was not as strong as it.
Yan Yue met the boy's bright eyes, nodded solemnly, and said: "Xiao Xi is really amazing!"
Lu Lingxi curled his eyes and smiled happily.
