"I'm eating well. Buy a few more and eat them slowly! I'll save two for the roller skating rink later. The rest will be eaten in a few days."
Du Chen said to Du Bin while watching the watermelon seller carrying watermelons. After walking around for a while, Du Chen saw that there was nothing to buy, so he decided to change places.
"Brother Chen, where are we going next?"
As soon as he got in the car, Xiami asked Du Chen.
"Xia Mi, do you know where to buy firecrackers and couplets? Let's go buy some."
Xiami nodded to indicate he understood, and then drove towards his destination. After buying the firecrackers and couplets, it was already past noon, and Du Chen pointed to a roadside restaurant and motioned Xiami to stop.
"Brother Chen, this place is not far from the roller skating rink. Let's go back and have dinner?"
Xiami suggested to Du Chen.
"I'm not going back. I'm just going to have a bite here and continue shopping in the afternoon."
Du Chen opened the car door and got out.
"Chenchen, have you bought everything you need? What else do you want?"
Ding Miaomiao couldn't help it at this time. She had already bought a lot of things. What else did she buy?
"Let's talk about it in the afternoon. Let's eat first! I'm starving."
Du Chen had already arrived at the restaurant entrance and no longer explained. He just wanted to eat.
Seeing this, Ding Miaomiao stopped asking questions, thinking that she would know in the afternoon anyway, so she followed him into the restaurant. Du Bin and Xiami also followed in.
There weren't many people in the store before the New Year, and in just over half an hour, several people had finished their lunch.
"Brother Chen, where are we going?"
When they got in the car, Xiami asked Du Chen. He was very aware that he would be a full-time driver for the whole day.
"Xia Mi, do you know where to sell flowers and fish?"
"Brother Chen, what kind of fish are you talking about? The one you eat? Or the one that lives in a fish tank?"
Xiami asked Du Chen.
"For viewing!"
Du Chen answered, what?
"Okay, I know where there's a flower market. They also sell fish there!"
After saying that, Xiami started the car and drove towards the destination.
"Chenchen, do you want to buy flowers and fish?"
Du Bin looked at the New Year's goods at his feet, wondering where to put them later.
"Well, buying some flowers and fish for the New Year will make it festive!"
Du Chen answered Du Bin's questions.
"Where are we going to put our stuff later? There's not much room in the car."
"You can hold it for a while. If I don't buy everything at once, Mom will definitely not be willing to spend money on me to buy more. So I might as well buy everything at once today."
Du Chen explained to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
……………………
The flower market is located on the outskirts of the city. It is a large area with an asbestos roof. As soon as Du Chen entered the flower market, he could clearly feel that the air was very humid and the temperature of the entire market was particularly high.
"Chenchen, it smells a bit bad in here?"
Du Bin sniffed and asked Du Chen curiously. Ding Miaomiao also fanned the air in front of her with her hands, but only Du Chen and Xiami didn't react.
"You should use compost to grow flowers, and there are ornamental fish here. Plus, the temperature is high and the air is humid, so that's why there's a bad smell, right?"
Ding Miaomiao said in a muffled voice that the smell made her nose feel uncomfortable.
"Let's go and take a good look. I want to buy some fish for Dad. He really likes raising fish and birds, and Mom likes raising flowers. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
Du Chen said to several people.
As they walked and looked around, Du Chen suddenly saw that there was a money tree in a flower shop. The winter in the north was cold and this kind of flower was rarely seen, so Du Chen led them to the flower shop.
"Boss, how much is the money tree?"
Du Chen didn't hesitate and asked the flower shop owner directly.
"Little brother, do you know the money tree?"
The flower shop owner did not answer Du Chen's question, but asked Du Chen in surprise.
"Yes, I have! Boss, how much is it?"
"Fifty-one pots!"
The price quoted by the flower shop owner shocked Xiami, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao, and Du Chen turned around and left without saying a word.
"Wait, wait! Little brother, let's talk it over. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
The flower shop owner quickly grabbed Du Chen with a smile and stopped them from leaving.
"Boss, your price is too high. I can't afford it!"
"Little brother, how much do you say?"
"twenty!"
Du Chen’s prices are quite low.
"What? No, little brother, the price is too low! It's not even enough for my cost!"
The flower shop owner said to Du Chen with a bitter face.
"Boss, how many of us here know about this money tree? You still have more than a dozen pots here. I don't think it's easy for you to sell them, is it?"
Du Chen said to the flower shop owner with a smile.
Hearing Du Chen's words, the flower shop owner's cheek twitched, because what Du Chen said was right. He came back just because the name of this flower sounded nice, intending to make a fortune. However, he didn't expect that no one would approve of it at all. Firstly, it was expensive, and secondly, most people didn't have room to put a money tree at home, which was just like a small tree. It would be better to buy two pots of peonies, which looked more beautiful.
"Little brother, you're right, but the price is a bit too low! Raise it a little! Just a little bit!"
The flower shop owner said to Du Chen unwillingly, hoping that Du Chen could raise the price.
Du Chen remained silent, instead carefully examining the money trees, trying to gauge their condition. He was quite pleased with the results; apparently, the florist had taken good care of them, given their high price. A new idea struck Du Chen.
"Boss, how many pots of money trees do you have here?"
Du Chen asked the flower shop owner.
"There are twelve pots in total. What's wrong?"
The flower shop owner couldn't figure out what Du Chen wanted to do.
"If you lower the price a little, I'll take them all!"
Du Chen's words made the flower shop owner feel very uncomfortable. He was happy that he could sell all the flowers at once, but he was also depressed that the other party wanted him to lower the price. He had already lost money on twenty-one pots.
"Little brother, I've already lost money on 21 pots, and you're still asking me to lower the price. I can't even get past my wife!"
The flower shop owner made a bitter face and acted pitifully towards Du Chen.
"Okay, boss, you can keep them all and sell them slowly!"
Du Chen played hard to get again. Although the other party saw it, he was also afraid that Du Chen would really not buy it and leave.
"Little brother, let's discuss it!"
"Boss, let me tell you, if you don't sell me these money trees, you won't be able to sell any in a year. Who would have two such large pots of trees at home? Think about it yourself!"
Du Chen spoke in a relaxed tone. After all, it was the other party who was anxious, not him.
"Chenchen, forget it. This is too expensive. Let's go! Besides, it's useless to buy so much. There's no place to put it! Come on, don't you want to buy fish? Let's go buy fish first!"
Although Ding Miaomiao didn't know what the use of Du Chen buying this thing was, it didn't stop her from cooperating with Du Chen.
When the flower shop owner saw this scene, he immediately spoke to Du Chen.
"Little brother, let's do as you said, twenty-one pots! Okay? I'll compensate you for them all!"
