Chapter 45 Those Flowers 2
It was not until lunch time that Catherine handed her the sandwich and asked her if she wanted some salad, which made Zhang Wei a little flattered.
"I heard that you brought a flower from home to give to Catherine?" Grace asked immediately.
At the same time, Dora looked at her in horror. Zhang Wei really didn't know how to explain...
In order to maintain their friendship, she called Dora and Grace out of the teaching building and told them what happened this morning.
"You want to sell roses!"
"You have so many roses at home!"
As expected, both of their attention was focused on the roses, and they had forgotten about the matter of mistakenly giving Catherine the pink rose.
"I'll go with you guys! Exchanging roses for something sounds so romantic!"
Dora suddenly felt a yearning.
"Sure. I'm worried I can't take much, so I'm going to ask Namier to help. The three of us can easily support the whole stall."
Hearing Zhang Wei say this, Grace was also a little surprised: "Does this mean we can all become stall owners?"
"Yes, but this may affect your shopping—" Before Zhang Wei could finish her words, Grace quickly shook her head: "Let's sell flowers first, and then go shopping when we have time!"
The three friends happily returned to the classroom. When passing by Catherine's office, Zhang Wei said "hush". Then, as he was about to walk past quickly, a voice came from the open door:
"Catherine, aren't you allergic to pollen? Why did you bring flowers into the office?"
"Oh, this was given to me by a student in our class." Catherine's voice didn't sound very happy, but Zhang Wei felt a little complicated.
"Which student?"
"That Asian girl with a bad temper but good grades."
"It seems like you like her very much. Lievs also liked her in the past."
"No, but she has good taste!"
Grace followed them back to the classroom and asked immediately, "Are they talking about Vera?"
"Yes, Catherine likes Vera." Dora said firmly.
"Catherine is really weird. She likes you guys, so she's being cold to you, right?"
She pouted as she spoke: "That's so sad. She talks to me the most, so it seems she dislikes me the most!"
Zhang Wei said helplessly, "No, she really likes you the most. She just said nice things because she received my flowers."
"That makes sense. We have been punished a lot!" Thank God, Dora finally remembered.
Grace was indeed easy to coax and immediately smiled happily.
Dora suddenly became worried again: "What should we do? Catherine is allergic to pollen. How can we bring our flowers to school?"
"That's easy. We'll deliver it later, after lunch. But you have to go and help. I'm afraid it'll be too late to catch up."
Because flowers are not easy to keep fresh, Zhang Wei gave up the idea of cutting them a day in advance and prepared to go back to work overtime at noon to ensure that they are fresh enough when sold in the afternoon.
Perhaps it was because the power of the pink rose was too great, Catherine did become much gentler towards Zhang Wei. Although it was not her intention, it was a blessing in disguise.
It was indeed not pleasant to be targeted all the time, and her feud with Catherine came to an end.
Grace originally wanted to bring some flowers to school for Catherine, but she and Dora persuaded her not to.
One rose would make Catherine sneeze non-stop, and if more were given, she would think someone was trying to murder her.
When she got home in the evening, Zhang Wei specially thanked Chris and told him that her teacher liked the flowers very much. Although he said "you're welcome", the expression on his face seemed to say: I said, who would not like the flowers I planted.
Tomorrow is the first day of the flea market, so Zhang Wei first learned the skills of cutting flowers from Chris: cut to the root of the flower branch, but don't cut the main branch, cut more in dense areas, and also cut more on the crossed branches.
Roses are relatively small, and Zhang Wei saw that yellow roses and red roses bloomed the best, so she decided to cut these two types of flowers.
Let’s set the quantity at 100 initially, but I don’t know if they can be exchanged.
She decided that if there were no sales, she would give the roses away for free to the graduates as their graduation gifts, and also give a big bouquet to Manny.
Originally, Zhang Wei planned to wrap it directly with newspapers, as there were plenty of newspapers at home. Unexpectedly, Chris also had baskets and floral mud in his tool shed.
When he heard that there were three of them together, he prepared three baskets for her, put moistened floral mud at the bottom of the baskets, and finally inserted roses in them. According to Chris, the roses would not wither for three days.
In this way, her preliminary preparations were basically ready. When she went upstairs, Manny came out of the room and said to her:
"Remember to visit my stall tomorrow!"
Zhang Weicai slapped her head and remembered that she also wanted to set up a stall at the flea market and had not told Manny and Namier.
"I may not have time, but if my stall closes early, I will definitely go!" Zhang Wei promised.
"Your stall?!" Manny was surprised.
"It's not mine alone. Dora, Grace, and I are together."
"Do you have a lot of unused items?" he asked doubtfully.
"No, Uncle Chris and I have discussed it. I plan to pick some roses from the garden and bring them to you. I hope you will like them."
Manny thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen anyone buying roses before. Maybe this is a good idea. I'll go back to your place and patronize you when the time comes."
He was about to go back to his room when he said, "When you go tomorrow, be sure to go early. The closer you are to the door, the more people there are. Remember that!"
"Okay, okay, thank you!" This was something she had not expected.
If they were in a hurry, Zhang Wei decided to ask Chris to cut their hair after lunch in the morning so that they could take it to school quickly when they arrived.
Friday mornings are especially tough because of the anticipation for the flea market in the afternoon.
Fortunately, it was not just Zhang Wei and the other three who were not very motivated in class. It seemed that although everyone said they didn't want to go, their bodies were still honestly looking forward to the afternoon activities.
During lunch, Zhang Wei suspected that Grace was not full. She ate the fastest and kept urging them after she finished. Zhang Wei almost choked on her hamburger and had to drink several sips of water before she recovered. Then she was dragged out of the school gate.
Namir didn't go home at noon. He was also one of those people who said one thing but did another.
So in the morning Zhang Wei asked the driver to pick her up at noon. When they arrived at the backyard, Chris had already filled all three flower baskets.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" "Ah! So pretty!" Dora and Grace exclaimed in unison.
One basket is a translucent goose yellow, which looks very brilliant, and the other two baskets are bright red like fire.
