Xiaohua's home-style restaurant is unexpectedly booming.
Wang Shuxiu is a good cook, the ingredients in the restaurant are fresh and tender, and the original flavor of the ingredients is preserved. Each dish is generous in portion. Within a few days of opening, the restaurant has won a good reputation. With popularity and more money, a new problem has arisen: the restaurant is short of staff.
Wang Shuxiu had thought it was simple before. There were many small restaurants in this area. It would take time for Xiaohua Home Cooking Restaurant to gain a foothold. How many customers could it have just opened? With her alone and Yi Hang's occasional help, it would be enough. But who would have thought that the business of the small restaurant was so good that Wang Shuxiu and Yi Hang worked around the clock and were a little too busy to handle it. This was because Yi Hang had not been to the flower garden recently. All the work in the flower garden was done by Yan Yue.
"This is not a solution." Wang Shuxiu and Yi Hang discussed, "We have to hire another person."
Yi Hang straightened his body and said, "I can handle it alone."
Wang Shuxiu burst out laughing and raised her hand to slap Yi Hang, "Are you okay? If I make you tired, won't your mother eat me?"
Wang Shuxiu's teasing has a story behind it. She and Yi Hang's mother don't get along very well. The two families live close to each other, and Yi Hang and Lu Lingxi are both the only children in the family, but they are both mixed up and don't learn good things. Wang Shuxiu and Yi Hang's mother had several arguments over whether Yi Hang seduced Lu Lingxi or Lu Lingxi seduced Yi Hang, and they almost got into a fight. In the end, the two little bastards still did what they were supposed to do, and their good relationship was not affected at all.
When she said that, Yi Hang felt a little embarrassed and immediately followed suit to show his loyalty. "How could that be? My mother wants me to be so busy all the time. She thinks I have made a difference now and wants to find time to thank the third brother."
Yi Hang said this not to cheer Wang Shuxiu up, but it was true. Before Lu Lingxi got into trouble, he, Lu Lingxi, Zheng Tan, and Bai Wei were four little bastards who had been slacking off since junior high school. Their families couldn't control them, and they got used to a life of doing nothing. As a result, when Lu Lingxi got into trouble, Zheng Tan and Bai Wei's parents saw that they couldn't go on like this, so they forced them to go away to learn a craft, leaving only Lu Lingxi and him among the four brothers. If that were the case, it would be fine, but Lu Lingxi lost his memory, changed his previous behavior and started to become sensible. Yi Hang was compared to a piece of mud that couldn't be helped.
Fortunately, Lu Lingxi did not forget his good friend. First, he approached him about the flower garden, and then about the small restaurant. Although it was a busy period, Yi Hang felt fulfilled. Especially after washing off the colorful colors on his face, Yi Hang's clothes returned to normal. His mother saw it and was very grateful to Lu Lingxi. It's okay for Yi Hang to be busy. Being busy means he has a promising future. I'm afraid that Yi Hang will become like before when he is not busy.
As mothers, Wang Shuxiu also understood Yi Hang's mother's thoughts. She sighed, "You and Xiaoxi are sensible, which is better than anything else. Your mother and I don't have to worry about anything anymore."
Although Yi Hang tried to prove that he was capable, Wang Shuxiu couldn't really ignore his child, so she put the store's recruitment on the agenda. However, it's not easy to recruit the right person all at once. Lin Mei had nothing to do during this period, so she just came over to help.
Xiaohua's family restaurant was doing very well, so Lu Lingxi turned his attention back to Micro Gardening. After careful consideration for a few days, Xue Yongtong finally brought Gao Yongliang to Micro Gardening.
"Hello, welcome." Lu Lingxi was slightly stunned when he looked up and saw who it was. "You're here? How can I help you?" He still remembered what Yan Yue reminded him. He stared at Xue Yongtong with some curiosity, guessing his identity and the purpose of his visit.
Xue Yongtong was a little embarrassed. He was a well-known figure in Fengcheng's gardening circle. It was not a good thing for him to sneak into the micro-gardening store disguised as a customer. Facing Lu Lingxi's clear eyes, Xue Yongtong said with a little embarrassment: "Little boss, I came here to discuss cooperation with you this time."
"Cooperation? What cooperation?"
Xue Yongtong was considering how to start, but Gao Yongliang didn't care about him and started walking around in the micro gardening. As soon as he entered the micro gardening, his eyes lit up. There is a popular saying in the foreign cosmetics circle that a practitioner with the qualification of a chemist must also be a knowledgeable botanist. They deal with plants every day. Which plants' fragrance is suitable for which fragrance, which plants' essential oils have what effect, and which plants' cells can repair the skin. If you want to talk about it clearly, you must first understand plants. Over time, Gao Yongliang's appreciation of plants is no worse than Xue Yongtong's. It's just that the two of them have different starting points for looking at plants. Gao Yongliang is completely practical.
He looked at the pot of geranium in front of him with some fascination. Unlike the geraniums he saw in Xue Yongtong's flower garden, which had already withered, the geranium in front of him was not only in full bloom, but also had larger and more colorful flowers, which meant that this geranium could extract more essential oils.
In the plant kingdom, not all plants can be used to extract essential oils. Only plants with balsam glands can extract essential oils. The balsam glands of geraniums are distributed on flowers and a small number of leaves. The larger the flower, the more essential oils it can extract.
Gao Yongliang somewhat missed the smell of geranium essential oil. The light green liquid was fresh and clear, mixed with the aroma of rose and mint. The smell was not particularly sweet, but rather neutral. It could be easily mixed with other essential oils and was very practical. The most important thing was that its effect was also very practical. When used in the formulation of cosmetics, it could be suitable for almost any skin condition. It could not only deeply cleanse the skin, but also promote the regeneration of skin cells and repair acne marks and scars on the skin.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gao Yongliang was determined to convince the other party to cooperate with him. The green plants and flowers here are really amazing. Not to mention other things, just this geranium is the best he has ever seen. If it can be grown on a large scale and maintain this quality, he can imagine how great the future development prospects will be.
Gao Yongliang approached Xue Yongtong eagerly. Xue Yongtong had just finished introducing himself and mentioned that he wanted to work with Lu Lingxi to grow the two pots of begonias he bought on a large scale. Gao Yongliang quickly added, "Not limited to begonias, other plants are also possible."
Lu Lingxi frowned slightly. The begonia that Xue Yongtong liked was an evolved green plant, and it was impossible to plant it on a large scale at present. As for the cooperation they mentioned, Lu Lingxi was not very willing. He was a little worried that his secret would be discovered. He trusted Yan Yue and was willing to be defenseless in front of Yan Yue, but it did not mean that he also trusted others and was willing to let others discover his secret.
Lu Lingxi's silence showed his attitude, and Gao Yongliang immediately said, "We can discuss the conditions of cooperation slowly. I hope the young boss can seriously consider this opportunity."
"What's wrong?" Yan Yue's voice came from the door. He had just returned from Xiaohua Family Restaurant, carrying the lunch that Wang Shuxiu prepared for Lu Lingxi.
"Brother Yan, you're back?" Lu Lingxi's eyes lit up. He was not very good at dealing with outsiders, and he didn't know how to refuse. Yan Yue's return was just right, so he naturally threw this question to Yan Yue.
Yan Yue glanced at the two of them calmly, then walked over and ruffled Lu Lingxi's hair. "Xiao Xi, take Da Hei to Dong Zhi's place for dinner first. Leave this to me."
"Okay." Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.
As soon as he left, Yan Yue simply said, “Micro Gardening’s planting technology is confidential, and we will not cooperate with other gardeners.”
Gao Yongliang was anxious, "Perhaps you can listen to our conditions first?"
Yan Yue looked at him indifferently, "Mr. Gao may have stayed abroad for too long and doesn't quite understand what Chinese means. I've said that Micro Gardening will not cooperate with other gardening companies."
Gao Yongliang was stunned for a moment, then he understood instantly.
Yan Yue was firm in his attitude and posed a difficult question to Gao Yongliang. There was no point in staying any longer. Gao Yongliang and Xue Yongtong left Micro Gardening soon. Yan Yue stared at Gao Yongliang's back thoughtfully, thinking about the cooperation he mentioned. If there was no Lvxuan Gardening, cooperation with Gao Yongliang would not be impossible. When he was abroad before, he had heard of Gao Yongliang's name and had met Gao Yongliang once by chance. Later, Gao Yongliang resigned and returned to China to start a business. He had applied for project funds from Dezhi Investment. However, there was another project that was more promising than his project at the time. Yan Yue's essence was to make money, not to support entrepreneurship out of kindness, so he finally rejected Gao Yongliang's project. He didn't expect to meet Gao Yongliang again after going around in circles.
As far as Yan Yue knew, Gao Yongliang had good ideas and abilities, but unfortunately there was a Luxuan Gardening in the middle. He thought of the secret that Lu Lingxi was hiding. Although he didn't know what it was, it should probably be related to these flowers and plants. The boy didn't want others to know, so all he could do was to help the boy keep this secret.
