Volume 1 Spring Chapter 2 Chunlan
The friend Aunt Qin refers to is a Chinese teacher who is about to retire. He is taciturn on weekdays. He likes calligraphy and Chinese painting, and the decoration in his home is also in the old Chinese style. Although Aunt Qin said that the two are just ordinary friends, they can
Feng Chunxi was not a fool, and he could see the admiration and love in her eyes at a glance.
After a little thought, Feng Chunxi already had a choice: "Teacher Du is such a noble person, so of course the first choice for sending flowers is the 'Four Gentlemen'!"
Aunt Qin's education level is not high, she has obviously never heard of the Four Gentlemen of Flowers, and she felt confused after hearing Feng Chunxi's showoff.
"Plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum have been called the 'Four Gentlemen of Flowers' by literati since ancient times. They respectively represent the four qualities of pride, tranquility, firmness, and lightness. The so-called orchid grows in the vestibule, filled with fragrance and waiting for the breeze. The tranquility of orchids
It is most in line with the temperament of an intellectual like Teacher Du." Feng Chunxi imitated the teacher's appearance in costume dramas, deliberately shaking his head and saying.
"You brat, what are you pretending to be? I don't know how much ink you have in your stomach. Why didn't you go to college if you are capable?" As soon as the words came out, Aunt Qin realized that these words touched Feng Chunxi's scar, and her expression
Feeling embarrassed for a moment.
What Aunt Qin didn't know was that Feng Chunxi went to college. If nothing had happened, he could have gone to a good university. Later, even though he was in prison, Feng Chunxi took a correspondence course by himself and got a degree in horticulture.
Bachelor's degree certificate.
"I think Teacher Du really likes this orchid you are talking about. If you bring a pot to Auntie, Auntie will give you cash!" Aunt Qin rounded back and talked about orchids again.
There are many kinds of orchids on the market. In the early years, Clivia was the most popular. Chunxi’s father even made a small profit from it. The best-selling orchid at the moment is Phalaenopsis. Feng Chunxi also bought several pots in his shop, all of which are good in appearance.
Yes. However, for those who like traditional culture, Phalaenopsis seems a bit tacky. Feng Chunxi looked at the pot of spring orchids placed on the lower floor of the flower stand. At this time, there were two slightly open light green buds. Come closer.
You can also smell a faint fragrance.
Feng Chunxi wholeheartedly recommended Chunlan to Aunt Qin, but when she saw a large pot of grass-like plants planted in a worthless red tile pot, she felt that Feng Chunxi was deliberately deceiving her with defective products: "What is this? This thing
If you don’t need the money, it’s okay to take it home and keep it for fun. Should you give it away or embarrass yourself?”
"This is the mother plant I bought last year. Of course it doesn't look good to you. Once my gardener gets it done, it will be worth tens of thousands of dollars immediately." The price Feng Chunxi said is a bit exaggerated, but the truth is true. Nowadays, people no longer cultivate flowers.
No matter how simple it is to pursue beautiful flowers, the better
More and more people are pursuing artistic effects and are willing to pay higher fees for them. Some are treasures, some are grass. A pot of rare orchids can be sold for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Feng Chunxi like
The shop can't sell treasures, so Aunt Qin can afford two thousand.
"Then you hurry up and design it for Auntie. I can take it away when you're done." Aunt Qin was a little impatient.
"Don't be impatient. Orchid landscaping has a long history, and there are many things to pay attention to. If I want to plant a pot of orchids that suits Teacher Du's wishes, I have to go for a trip to the mountains to look for the strange stones created by nature's miraculous craftsmanship, and absorb the beauty of the sun.
Moss grown from moon essence and rootless water..."
Aunt Qin interrupted Feng Chunxi's showoff and agreed to pick up the goods in ten days. Before leaving, she threatened Feng Chunxi that if she couldn't make potted orchids that she was satisfied with, she would close Feng Chunxi's shop and rent it to someone else.
Meat seller.
Feng Chunxi asked Aunt Qin to pick up the goods in ten days, not because Chunlan landscaping is really complicated, but because after transplanting, it needs to be placed in a cool place to slow down the seedlings for many days. Inexperienced people will be impatient and check repeatedly.
It's easy to die this way.
After the primrose mixed planter was hung up, it attracted several customers. Most of them were just looking at it. Not many people actually planned to buy green plants. I only sold one pot of roses and one pot of Phalaenopsis in one afternoon.
, and also sold a pot of bear boy, which the child insisted on asking his mother to buy.
While greeting guests, Feng Chunxi went to the tool room to look for materials needed to plant Chunlan bonsai. The best time to transplant Chunlan is September, followed by March. The earthenware pot has good air permeability and is most suitable for the growth of Chunlan.
If you want to create a landscape to give away, a purple sand pot is more upscale. Feng Chunxi found a dark gray oval purple sand pot as a spare, then poured the Chunlan plant out of the pot, rinsed the roots with water, dried them, and waited for planting.
In the evening, after eating a bowl of braised noodles at Lao Ma Hand-pulled Noodles across the street, Feng Chunxi went to look for materials to turn waste into treasure. The tiles and gravel used to pad the drainage holes at the bottom of the basin were taken to a nearby alley.
You can pick it up, but coarse sand and landscaping stones can only be picked up from the small river in the park. There are many people walking in the small park after dinner, but Feng Chunxi is the only one who walks to the river at night.
Too shallow, Feng
Chunxi was worried that she would be thought of as someone who wanted to jump into the river. With the help of the dim light of the flashlight, Feng Chunxi searched for about half an hour by the river and found a small yellow-brown stone. The stone was flat on one side, making it easier to fix it on the flower bed later.
In the basin, other parts have a mottled feeling caused by river erosion, which is most suitable for the effect of rockery. As for the sand, simply scoop out a little, mainly to improve the drainage and breathability of the basin bottom.
After everything was ready, Feng Chunxi cleaned up the debris on the workbench and started his gardening creation. First, he placed tiles and gravel on the drainage hole at the bottom of the purple sand pot, and then spread a layer of coarse sand. Next is the final step.
The important step is to put the orchid seedlings in the pot, straighten the roots and let them stretch naturally. When the soil is halfway filled, gently lift the orchid seedlings and shake the pot at the same time to make the orchid roots and the pot soil tightly combined.
Continue to fill the soil to the edge of the pot and compact it tightly. It is advisable to leave about 3 cm between the height of the flower soil and the edge of the pot to facilitate later fertilization and watering. After the orchid seedlings are planted, directly place the cleaned stones on the right side of the center
Position, the landscaping of a pot of spring orchids is initially completed. After watering it thoroughly, Feng Chunxi placed the flowerpot in a cool and backlit place for maintenance, and then planted dwarf moss after two days. The work was considered completely completed.
In the next few days, the store's business improved slightly, and the spring weather became stronger. Not only did people want to go outdoors, but their love for life also strengthened. A person has to be both a gardener and a salesperson, and also
Riding an electric tricycle to replenish supplies. To be honest, this kind of labor intensity is more intense than when Feng Chunxi was there. The only difference is freedom.
Recently, Feng Chunxi also made a new friend - an orange cat. Feng Chunxi was not sure whether it was a stray cat, because it looked very clean and quite fat. Feng Chunxi was not sure whether it was a male or a female.
, because Feng Chunxi didn’t see its balls and didn’t go
Check to see if it has been castrated. It is Feng Chunxi’s friend. Feng Chunxi has to respect its privacy. Because she doesn’t know its original name, Feng Chunxi keeps calling it Big Orange. Big Orange often visits Feng Chunxi at noon.
The store was very familiar to me the first time I visited it. It was very familiar to me.
He hit the wicker chair where Feng Chunxi usually rested and jumped directly on it to take a nap. If Feng Chunxi was on it at the time, Daju would meow twice to signal Feng Chunxi to get up. With that posture, it was obvious that it would directly move away if it didn't get out of the way.
Jump to Feng Chunxi. There are no cats here in Feng Chunxi
He can only feed it with tap water and leftover rice. This guy is not picky about food, and he eats deliciously every time. Feng Chunxi has decided that if the owner of Da Ju is not found, he will treat it as an ownerless cat.
, officially adopted it and hired it as the cat manager of our store.
When Feng Chunxi was a child, there were no pet cats. Anyone who had a garden cat in their home was already very enviable. Feng Chunxi pestered Chunxi’s father to buy him a kitten, but he did not agree. It was not that he was reluctant to spend the money, but because he was worried that the cat would
Destroying his flowers. At that time, in order to save costs, Chunxi's father used the house where his family lived as his nursery, with cuttings and potted plants everywhere.
When Feng Chunxi was a child, she found cutting cuttings very interesting, so she helped her out. As a result, she learned some techniques for growing flowers since she was a child. Chunxi's father said that Feng Chunxi, like him, was a forest tree who loved to plant anything and was born a good flower.
Craftsman. Feng Chunxi believed in Chunxi’s father’s words throughout his childhood, thinking that he was a gifted flower-growing wizard.
. He doesn’t know if it’s an illusion or if he really has this ability. He always feels that he can feel the emotions of flowers and plants. If he feels that the flowers and plants are unhappy, he has to find a way to solve it until he feels the emotions of the flowers and plants.
