Chapter 643: The Importance of Connections (Page 1/2)
The two sat by the pond, basking in the warm sunshine, chatting from time to time, and gently shaking the fishing rods in their hands from time to time.
Finally, ripples appeared on the water surface. Huo Qingci suddenly lifted the rod, and saw a big carp weighing three pounds jumping out of the water!
In the following period of time, he caught a dozen small fish weighing three or four taels.
Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, they had been fishing for two hours.
Huo Qingci looked at the lively fish in the bucket, a satisfied smile on his face as he said, "Manman, we're in for a treat tonight. We can make a delicious shredded radish and crucian carp soup, and a sweet and sour carp dish."
Lin Man shook her head. "I think we should forget it. I still have several hundred kilograms of frozen beef in my space freezer. How about we have beef hotpot tonight?"
Huo Qingci thought for a moment and asked, "What should we do with the fish we just caught?"
Lin Man blinked and replied, "Just put them all in the trap and throw it back into the pond with the trap. You can take them out when you want to eat them."
Huo Qingci thought this was a good idea, so he said, "Okay, let's do it. But let's cook inside the space tonight. If we make hot pot outside, it wouldn't be good if the aroma got out and other people smelled it. After all, the supply and marketing cooperative hasn't sold beef recently."
Lin Man agreed. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "By the way, Qingci, did you get the gardenia and jasmine seedlings I asked you to dig last time?"
Huo Qingci smiled and replied, "I dug it up a long time ago. Once I pack up my fishing gear, I'll take you to the flower field to have a look."
After saying that, he stood up swiftly, poured all the fish in the bucket into the trap, and then carefully packed up his fishing gear.
After a while, everything was ready, and he took Lin Man towards the flower field.
He pointed to a patch and said, "Manman, I dug these jasmine and gardenia seedlings specially for you in the park. Move them to your space and plant them!"
"good."
After Lin Man finished speaking, she went to find farm tools to dig up the flower seedlings. She only dug up two and took them to her own space to plant them.
She returned to Huo Qingci's space and used her wood-type ability to stimulate the growth of the remaining jasmine and gardenia seedlings. When they were all in bloom, she took Huo Qingci to pick the flowers.
Huo Qingci asked curiously, "Manman, I know you plan to process the jasmine flowers into jasmine tea, but what about the gardenias?"
Lin Man smiled and replied, "First, remove the core of the gardenia. Then, at night, we can use it to make hot pot."
Hearing this, Huo Qingci couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Lin Man in disbelief and asked in surprise, "Manman, are you growing these gardenias just for eating? Can they really be eaten?"
Lin Man was a little amused and helpless. She smiled helplessly and explained, "I didn't plant these gardenias specifically for eating! But they are indeed edible and will definitely not poison you, so you can rest assured!
Actually, the main reason I planted them is because I love the charming fragrance of gardenias, and I want to use them to make some skin care products."
Then, after the two of them worked together to pick all the jasmine and gardenia flowers, Lin Man was not in a hurry to deal with the flowers immediately.

Instead, she chose to stay in this beautiful flower field and carefully examine the orchid seedlings she had planted with her own hands.
I saw that the orchid seedlings were growing very lushly, and each one looked full of vitality and green.
If the current situation continues to develop, she will probably be able to do business freely by the beginning of next year and can sell them.
It’s a pity that Huo Qingci will have to stay in Hai City for another half a year at that time, and can only be transferred back in July or August, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Man turned to Huo Qingci and said, "Qingci, when we go to the Grand Mansion tomorrow, we must plant more flowers in the garden.
Peonies, orchids, roses, jasmine, gardenias, roses...plant some of each.
When you can trade freely, go to the flower fields and dig up some orchids to sell. The money you save might even be enough to buy a small house."
Haishi is indeed a well-known prosperous city, with bustling traffic, bright lights and wine, showing its prosperity everywhere.
However, the invisible capitalists living here have an incomprehensible trait - eager for quick success and selfish and stingy.
These people often behave in ways that are surprising, yet they possess enormous wealth.
What’s even more interesting is that these seemingly stingy people are actually very particular.
Whether it is dressing or eating and living, we must pursue the ultimate quality and grade.
Lin Man knew very well that these hidden capitalists who were not very conspicuous were actually very generous to themselves. In addition to being very particular, they also paid great attention to their health.
She could ask Huo Qingci to sell the orchids and ginseng to these hidden customers, but the most important thing now was connections.
Huo Qingci's colleague Zhu Yongsheng, his brother-in-law is a leader in the Housing Authority. He must know many powerful people. If he can make good use of them...
Thinking of this, Lin Man said to Huo Qingci, "Qingci, didn't you say before that Dr. Zhu's brother-in-law is a leader in the Housing Authority? You can spend more time with them and ask them to help introduce buyers."
Huo Qingci also knew the importance of connections. He said, "When we buy the Grand Ocean Building, we'll invite Dr. Zhu and his eldest brother-in-law to dinner. I'll give them each a pot of Clivia, Manman. What do you think?"
"Qingci, if you give them orchids now, it will be difficult to explain where these flowers came from. I think you should give each of them a box of Gastrodia elata."
"Well, that's fine. I'll give them each two kilograms of Gastrodia elata as a thank you for the introduction. After we buy the house, we'll plant flowers in the garden. Next year, I'll find another opportunity to ask them to introduce us to some clients."
Selling orchids and ginseng, maybe by the time I'm transferred back, I'll have saved a lot of money. When we make enough money and return to Beijing, we'll buy a three-story courtyard house for each of our four children. Manman, what do you think?
Lin Man also thought so. No matter how the future trend would develop, she had to buy a few more courtyard houses in the early 1980s to ensure that every child had one, so they had to find a way to make more money in the next two years.
Thinking of this, Lin Man smiled and looked up at Huo Qingci, saying gently, "That's great, of course. We'll buy a courtyard house for each of the children so that they can have their own real estate when they get married."
