Chapter 42: Pure and Elegant Lotus in Space
Before the old man could finish his words, his phone was snatched away.
Zhou Huaijin appeared in the camera with a helpless look on his face: "Wanwan, ignore him, I'll come get it tomorrow."
Seeing the old man trying to smile kindly, as if afraid of scaring her, Chi Wan smiled secretly, then responded generously: "It's okay, it's convenient, then I'll wait for you to come tomorrow."
Until the video was hung up, Zhou Huaijin looked at his grandfather's smile that looked worthless and rolled his eyes: "I worked hard to grow flowers for you, but I never saw you smile at me so kindly."
The old man's smile disappeared instantly, and he snorted while shaking his beard, "Me kind? You almost killed the orchid I got with great difficulty, so I'm kind enough not to beat you up."
After that, he happily forwarded the photo Chi Wan sent to himself, and then posted a circle of friends, with the caption: "Elegant."
Almost soon after it was posted, there were several comments. Some scolded him for showing off, while others asked him where he went to learn how to grow orchids. The old man couldn't hide the smile on his face.
After putting away his phone contentedly, the old man lectured Zhou Huaijin again, "Look at how well Wanwan takes care of the flowers. You have learned a few years more than her!"
Then he asked mysteriously, "The back view that Huai'an posted last time was Wanwan, right? She's good-looking, has a good personality, and is even better at growing orchids! Although your flower-growing skills aren't that great, you do have a good eye."
Zhou Huaijin almost wanted to hold his forehead with his hand: "What are you talking about? Wanwan is my junior schoolmate. Don't say anything nonsense when you see her tomorrow. Otherwise, I will move all your flowers to my teacher!"
The old man glared at her and said, "How dare you! Zhang Ruifeng, that stubborn old man, only knows how to farm, how can he appreciate flowers? Forget it, you have been led astray by Zhang Ruifeng, so you'd better not go to Hoho Wanwan."
After saying that, he shook his head while replying to the message on his phone. For convenience, he even sent a voice message directly: "Old Bai, let me say that the flowers you found before are not as good as the Suguan Lotus Cauldron. Especially the one I found this time, look at the pattern and shape of the petals...
"Nowhere, the old man is lucky this time, I met a little girl, wow, what a beautiful flower she is! I'll send it to you to see, this golden horsetail plant cannot be grown so well by ordinary people..."
Zhou Huaijin shook his head and thought, why does he need to promote Chi Wan? In less than a day, everyone in his grandfather’s flower-growing circle would probably know that there was a “flower-growing expert” like Chi Wan.

While Chi Wan was waiting for Zhou Huaijin to come over, he entered a space.
As Li Xingye continued to feed the space with high-level crystal cores, the space no longer looked as narrow and cramped as before, and it was so large that the boundaries could not be seen at a glance.
The area covered by soil has reached 2/3. I believe that it won’t be long before the speed of space expansion will be caught up by the speed of soil coverage.
The small puddle has now grown to the size of a pond. The water in it is always clear, and various fat fish swim leisurely among the water plants.
Chi Wan also transplanted more than ten fruit trees and bought a lot of saplings. In a short period of time, it has grown into a dense fruit forest.
Chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and even a pigsty with two breeding pigs were raised in other areas.
The most worry-free thing is that these animals do not need to be fed in this space, let alone excrete. They just wander around on the soil every day, but they still grow a lot of meat.
Even the breeding pigs that were introduced not long ago have already given birth to a litter of piglets, all of which are white and plump.
The space was kept in good order by Li Xingye, who used vines and fences to divide the space into several areas.
He built a shed and a nest, and planted potatoes, sweet potatoes, and grape pods. He completely transformed from a supernatural boss into a hardworking farmer.
Chi Wan also never tired of finding new seeds, vegetables, fruits, flowers and plants for Li Xingye. Every time a new plant grew, it was like he had accomplished something.
In short, every time he entered the space, Chi Wan had the illusion that he was playing some farming game like Star Valley.
As the space ecological chain gradually took shape, the supplies she needed to provide to Li Xingye gradually decreased, mostly medical supplies, snacks and drinks, or seafood.
As soon as he entered the space this time, he saw Li Xingye working hard at controlling the vines again. Chi Wan landed beside the vines and said, "Brother Xingye, what are you doing? Aren't there any new seeds recently?"
Li Xingye smiled and said, "I'm tidying up the flower garden for you."
Flower garden?
Chi Wan looked along the vines and saw that, as expected, this was a large piece of land that Li Xingye had fenced off and divided into neat large squares.
Different flowers are planted in each field. If you look closely...
"orchid?!"
Chi Wan looked at the lush green leaves and the budding flowers among the leaves with some surprise. They had graceful shapes and varying forms, but without exception, they were all orchids.
Moreover, they are all orchids of excellent quality at first glance!
Li Xingye spoke calmly, as if he didn't think he had done anything big: "You seem to like orchids very much. I happened to have some orchid seeds, so I tried to plant some. Perhaps affected by the apocalyptic environment, these orchids have mutated to some extent."
Chi Wan almost knelt down before the boss.
Is this the power of the wood master? Growing orchids with seeds! They are all variants!
After all, orchid seeds themselves do not have endosperm. Without the action of orchid root bacteria, orchid seeds cannot germinate at all, so most of them rely on the method of division and seedling cultivation for reproduction.
Chi Wan moved closer to observe the orchids in all their splendor. From the flowers to the leaves, the quality was incredibly high.
"I'm really going to get rich this time..." Chi Wan murmured.
Selling orchids is different from exchanging gold bars. It is a pure way to make a living. As long as she pays taxes normally, the money she earns from selling flowers is all her legal income!
What's more, even people who don't know much about orchids can feel the preciousness of the flowers grown by Li Xingye.
Chi Wan's eyes suddenly fell on one of the flowers. It stood out among the orchids.
Not only because it has a tall flower stem and large flowers, but also because its petals are actually green!
The clear emerald green is very eye-catching, and if you look closely you can find that the flower is actually a white lotus petal.
Chi Wan quickly found the name of the flower from his memory: "Qing Yi Su He...it's actually Qing Yi Su He!"
She remembered that a Qingyi Suhe plant was auctioned for 7 million two years ago, but the color of that plant was a little worse than the one in front of her.
Pure green, without a trace of other colors, just like jade. The leaves are scattered around, complementing the flowers, and you can smell the elegant fragrance without getting close.
Chi Wan couldn't imagine how high the price would be if he took this Qingyi Suhe to an auction!
