Volume 1 Spring Chapter 1 Primula
It rained for three or four days in a row, and today it finally turned clear. The warm sunlight shone through the glass on the flowers and plants in the store, and on Feng Chunxi's face, indicating that Feng Chunxi could no longer find a reason to be lazy.
There are two tasks today. First, we will move the light-loving plants such as succulents, roses, and wealthy trees to the steps at the door to fully replenish the sun. The blooming pansies, fragrant snowflakes, geraniums, etc. must also be placed on the flower stand in a certain style to attract passers-by customers. Although the wealthy bamboo, monstera, spring feathers, green ivy and some ferns do not need to be moved outdoors, the gap should be appropriately increased, the windows should be opened to ventilate them, and some scattered lights should be absorbed. In fact, the shade-loving plants are just not tolerant of strong light, and they also need moderate light. Just like introverts just don’t like the excitement, but they also need friends.
Another task is to make mixed-plant flowers in two wooden flower troughs and then hang them on the wall outside the store. This is the rule left by Chunxi's father during his lifetime. Now that Feng Chunxi has inherited the gardening store, he must inherit the store rules together. For the gardening store, March is the beginning of the new year. Planting blooming flowers in the flower trough indicates that the New Year business officially begins. These flowers are equivalent to the store's store signs.
As a messenger of spring, Primrose is undoubtedly the C position of the first mixed-plant flowers. This herbal flower native to Europe has good cold tolerance and is an easy-to-cultivate plant. After the Spring Festival, Feng Chunxi went to the flower market to wholesale some seedlings. After more than a month of careful care, it was just in bud. There are many varieties of Primrose, and Feng Chunxi can't figure out the specific ones, so he can only distinguish them by color. The most common ones in the northern market are yellow flower centers, red or purple petals adorned with white lace, and some double-petal primrose are mainly pure red and yellow. Feng Chunxi bought the red and yellow double-petal primrose. Such flowers are bright colors and can give people a sense of vitality.
Feng Chunxi applied a layer of prepared wet nutrient soil on the bottom of the flower trough, took out the primrose seedlings from the seedling pot, picked off the dry and yellow leaves, and then planted the red seedlings slightly to the front of the left and into the flower trough. Planted a white fragrant snowball slightly in front of the red primrose. Planted a yellow primrose and a Fufang vine on the right. The Fufang vine has the properties of a waving branch, and the green leaves have white spots. This
There is a little redness in the season, which is most suitable for mixed flowers. Ivy is planted on the last side of the flower trough and some spaces. This green plant is cold-resistant and evergreen, and it sags naturally from the potted plants. After all planting, it is filled in the soil and compacted. Finally, wrap the stems of the primrose on the stems of the primrose, and then bend the ivy and sag naturally, forming a flowing feeling. The entire mixed planting work is completed.
Looking at his newly planted flower potted plants, Feng Chunxi really wanted to move them out immediately to show off. He had to control this impulse, because newly planted plants should not be watered or sun-dried. It should be placed in the shade at least one night, waiting for the wound on the rhizome to heal before watering, and observe the condition of the plant after two or three days. If the condition is good, then move to the appropriate position. This process is a bit difficult. If you want to grow the flowers well, you must have such patience.
"Boy, it's quite leisurely. When will you pay the rent this year?"
Feng Chunxi was just lying on a rattan chair to rest. Before she could drink the mint water soaked in the glass pot, the uninvited guest, Feng Chunxi's landlord's wife, suddenly walked into the store a few steps.
Aunt Qin is the owner of this business service. When Chunxi's father was alive, the two families were well-off. Later, Chunxi's father was seriously ill and Feng Chunxi was still locked up when something happened. Chunxi's father wanted to find a flower lover to exchange the store, but he had no choice but to post the notice for two months but no one was willing to take over. Chunxi's gardening store had to close it. Aunt Qin rented the store to a seller of sesame cakes. Last year, Feng Chunxi came out and fulfilled his promise to Chunxi's father to prepare to reopen Chunxi's gardening store. He promised to increase the rent by 50%, so he persuaded Aunt Qin to rent the store to Feng Chunxi again. Feng Chunxi had just released it and had no money to pay the rent. Aunt Qin agreed to pay half of the rent within three months and pay it all within half a year. Half a year has passed, and Feng Chunxi's gardening store has a bad business. He tried to delay the rent payment until before the Spring Festival. However, February 2nd is over, and Feng Chunxi still has not been able to sell the rent.
"Aunt Qin, sit down quickly. Come and try the mint tea I just made. The mint tea is refreshing and is most suitable for resisting spring sleepiness in spring." Feng Chunxi hurriedly pulled over a wooden chair and greeted Aunt Qin enthusiastically.
"Stop talking nonsense! I will tell you Feng Chunxi, don't smile with me. I will rely on the rent of this shop to support my old age. If you don't pay the rent, I will smash all your tearful flowers for you." Aunt Qin's shoulders are wide, her skin is a little dark, and her hands pinch her waist is quite a bit masturbating.
Feng Chunxi continued to laugh. Only by coaxing her can the gardening store usher in spring: "Don't be angry, you also know that the gardening store is off-season in winter. If it weren't for the opposite noodle restaurant taking care of me, I wouldn't even be able to eat! Now that the spring flowers are blooming, I'm growing these flowers so well, and I will definitely make a lot of money by then. I will make up for the rent I owe you..."
Feng Chun said all his favourites, and Aunt Qin finally agreed to collect rent after the May Day Golden Week. The old rule was that she wanted to pick up a pot of green plants as interest. Aunt Qin knew Feng Chunxi, although she didn't do anything before, her ability to grow flowers was even better than his father. Every pot of flowers planted by him was as spiritual as he could see them. Feng Chunxi was a little regretful, why didn't she move the planted primrose to the back house for rest? At this moment, it had already come into Aunt Qin's eyes.
"I just planted these two pots of flowers, and you can't raise them even if you move them back. Moreover, the flower language of the primrose is first love, hope, no regrets, and it is suitable to send flowers to friends, lovers, and lovers. It is not suitable for me to give you, and it is not suitable for you to give others." Before Aunt Qin took action, Feng Chunxi explained at the fastest speed.
I thought that the old woman would give up when she said the words of Primrose, but when Feng Chunxi said that it was suitable to send friends and lovers, a ray of light flashed in Aunt Qin's eyes. Feng Chunxi suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had heard that Aunt Qin was getting close to an old man recently. Could it be that she was in love?
Aunt Qin cleared her throat and deliberately showed a blank expression, as if she was afraid that Feng Chunxi would see through her heart: "I happened to have a friend about her birthday, and this flower looks pretty good, it's just right to give it to her friend."
"Aunt Qin, my Aunt Qin, what kind of friend? You can just send a potted plant. Where can I put such a long flower trough to make a landscape?"
"It doesn't matter, his house has a large balcony. I think this wooden flower pot is just right. Don't you have two of them? I only want one." Aunt Qin showed a faint smile, as if she wanted Feng Chunxi to be moved by her ungreed.
"Yeah, don't you just want to give a pot of flowers to your friend as a birthday gift? Tell me about the personality and preferences of this friend. I'll choose a better one for you. The primrose is beautiful, but it will wither after blooming. Do you send a friend or a kind of raising a living place? In this way, when the other party sees the flowers every day, they will think of you." In order to let Aunt Qin let go of the primrose, Feng Chunxi had to settle for the second best and give her a pot of other things.
Hearing that the primrose will wither after blooming in the season, Aunt Qin was really shaken and asked Feng Chunxi to choose the most delicious potted plant for her. If the other party is satisfied, not only can he pay the rent according to the price, but he will also introduce more customers to Feng Chunxi. So, on the basswood workbench of the gardening store, Feng Chunxi was like a fortune teller, listening carefully to Aunt Qin's introduction of his friend's age, personality, work, and residence in order to calculate the most suitable birthday gift for him.
