Wang Cuixiang had no idea what her sister was complaining about her in her heart. She was really annoyed by the two people blocking the entrance of the alley.
Why do they have to block the entrance of the alley when they can do their job well elsewhere? Isn't this just an attempt to disgust people?
You deserve to be cursed by yourself.
Wang Cuixiang was deep in her cursing when she suddenly heard her sister calling her, "Okay, those two people outside have left, let's go out."
"So fast!" Wang Cuixiang blurted out, and then quickly covered her mouth when she realized what was happening.
Wang Cuilan: “!!!” So what did her sister know?
Wang Cuilan's sharp eyes swept over Wang Cuixiang, and Wang Cuixiang quickly smiled ingratiatingly at her sister.
"Sister, don't we still need to buy mosquito repellent grass? Let's go quickly. If we delay any longer, the three kids at home will probably make a fuss."
In the eyes of aunt Wang Cuixiang, her three nephews are good in every way except that they are too attached to their mother.
If he doesn't see anyone for a while, he'll make a fuss.
It was fine before. I don’t know if they were still young or knew that their mother was at school and was not usually at home, so they just hummed a few times and didn’t find anyone.
But it’s not possible now. If their mother doesn’t show up on time, the three little guys will really make a fuss.
The kind that can't be coaxed no matter what.
After hearing what Wang Cuixiang said, Wang Cuilan also felt that it was more important to buy the mosquito repellent grass as soon as possible.
As for my younger sister Xiangxiang’s matter, it’s okay to ask about it later.
Seeing her nod, Wang Cuixiang breathed a sigh of relief. Oh my god, I finally escaped this disaster for the time being.
Wang Cuilan saw it out of the corner of her eye, snorted in her heart, and thought to herself, isn't it too early for you to relax?
Do you think I won't ask later if I don't ask now? Just wait and see.
The two sisters walked out of the alley, each with their own thoughts.
Afterwards, I went to a busy store and bought ten pots each of mosquito repellent grass, mint, Venus flytrap, lavender, marigold, tuberose, rosemary, patchouli, mugwort, and pyrethrum.
Because they wanted too many things, the Wang Cuilan sisters alone definitely could not bring back so many potted plants.
Wang Cuilan paid the deposit and left her address, asking the boss to send the potted plants back to her later.
The final payment will be made after the items are delivered.
After buying the mosquito repellent grass, Wang Cuilan achieved her purpose of going to the flower and bird market.
Just when I was about to call my sister to go back with me, I found her squatting in a corner staring at an orchid.
"Want to grow orchids?" Wang Cuilan walked up to her and asked.
"Is it okay?" Wang Cuixiang raised her head and looked at Wang Cuilan eagerly.
Wang Cuilan looked at her and nodded, "Okay."
Before Wang Cuixiang could even smile, she continued, "But you have to raise it yourself. I won't help you."
"Forget it then." Wang Cuixiang lowered her head instantly, looking pitiful.
Wang Cuixiang is self-aware and knows that she is not a very patient person.
Although she really wants to grow an orchid now, she can't take care of it carefully every day.
Rather than buying an orchid and then having it die due to her neglect, it would be better not to grow it in the first place.
Although Wang Cuixiang understood what was going on in her mind, she was still somewhat reluctant to leave.
He looked back every few steps, seeming to be very reluctant to leave.
They looked like a pair of mandarin ducks being beaten by a stick, and I was the stick.
Wang Cuilan had no choice but to compromise, "Forget it, since you want to buy it, just buy it."
"If you don't want to keep it anymore, you can ask Aunt An and the others to help take care of it, or you can give it away."
"Really?" Wang Cuixiang cheered, and her fox eyes were full of surprise when she looked at Wang Cuilan.
"Fake."
Knowing that her sister was deliberately speaking in a sarcastic manner, Wang Cuixiang didn't care.
He immediately trotted forward and hugged the orchid pot she had been looking at for a long time, then urged Wang Cuilan, "Sister, it's okay, let's go."
Wang Cuilan took a look at the variety of orchids Wang Cuixiang was holding in her hands.
Well, it’s just an ordinary Jianlan - Four Seasons Orchid.
Wang Cuilan raised her eyebrows. "You want it now, and you won't be picky anymore?"
Wang Cuixiang was about to shake her head when she heard the boss beside her say, "You two ladies still want to buy orchids, right?"
"Then you should take a look at the orchids in my backyard. They are all rare varieties and look particularly elegant."
"It looks much more beautiful than the orchid in your hand," said the boss.
"Is it true? Why don't we go check it out now?"
Wang Cuixiang felt that the pot of four-season orchid in her hand was already very beautiful.
Now when Wang Cuixiang heard the boss say that there are orchids that are more beautiful than this one, her heart started to itch.
And then... and then, of course, as the boss said, there were orchids in the backyard that were more beautiful than the ones in her hand, and there were a lot of them.
Wang Cuixiang was torn. She looked at this pot and wanted it. She looked at that pot and wanted it too.
Wang Cuixiang was so worried that her brows were furrowed. She couldn't decide which pot to take away.
The boss was very happy when he saw this, feeling that it was worth it for him to bring two people to the backyard to pick orchids.
He knew this would happen.
Seeing that Wang Cuixiang had been struggling for a long time and still hadn't made up her mind, the boss said, "Since you like them all, comrade, you might as well stop hesitating and take them all home."
Seeing that Wang Cuixiang didn't say anything, the boss continued to persuade her, "If you want to take them all back, I can give you a discount. How about giving you a 10% discount?"
"30% off, boss, please give us a 30% discount. My sister and I will buy all the dozen orchids in the backyard today." Wang Cuilan said.
"This..." The boss hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
I heard from my friends in Changchun that the price of orchids would go up, so the orchids I bought following the trend have either died or been sold. Now there are only a dozen or so left, and the boss really doesn't want to keep them.
Now someone offered to buy it at 70% off the selling price. The boss calculated carefully and found that he had not lost money, so he agreed immediately.
The boss was in a good mood after finally selling the orchid he had bought.
Wang Cuilan was also in a good mood.
It was when the boss took her and Xiangxiang to the backyard to see the orchids that Wang Cuilan remembered the orchid craze in her previous life from 1978 to 1985.
Starting from the second half of 1978, orchid prices continued to rise. By the early 1980s, the orchid market was in short supply.
The price of a pot of ordinary orchid is usually several times or even dozens of times the salary of an ordinary worker.
By 1985, the price of orchids had reached a crazy level.
A Hong Kong businessman even proposed to exchange a luxury Crown car for a pot of Clivia named "Phoenix Crown".
At that time, the market value of a luxury Crown sedan was about 90,000 yuan.
The average annual income of Chinese people is 478.6 yuan per person.
