Chapter 337 Koi and Plum Tree

September 23rd arrived in a blink of an eye, another Sunday.

Liu Xinyu has had a little free time recently, and she had nothing to do that day, so she planned to go to the flower and bird market with Liu Xinjian.

That day I heard that the pond that entered the yard the third time was a Zimu Pond. The two siblings went there the next day and looked around the pond carefully. They found that it was indeed a Zimu Pond.

The sub-pond where you can raise koi and other ornamental fish is small but very artistic.

There is even a small pavilion by the pool that can be surrounded by curtains.

This small pavilion was already under renovation. Liu Xinyu didn't pay much attention to it before, but when she looked at it again this time, she had new ideas.

Repair this small pavilion and hang gauze around it. The breeze blows and it feels poetic.

In summer, you can enjoy the cool weather in the pavilion and watch fish.

When autumn comes and winter comes, you can make tea by the stove in the pavilion, which is another kind of fun.

If you can find a few old plum trees and plant them by the pond, when the winter snow comes, the red plum blossoms will bloom, and you can sit in the pavilion drinking tea while admiring the snow and plum blossoms. How pleasant it would be.

Liu Xinyu suddenly felt that she seemed to have a somewhat petty bourgeois temperament.

This kind of sentiment was what Xin Yu had dreamed about during his period but had never been able to realize. Now that we have such conditions and don't have to work as hard as Xin Yu, why not live a more sentimental life?

So Liu Xinyu didn't need to remind Liu Xinjian, Liu Xinyu made the arrangements first.

Zhang Hongliang and Fang Qia did not return to the courtyard until Saturday night. When they learned that Liu Xinyu planned to go to the flower and bird market the next day, they naturally wanted to go with them.

All four of us had bicycles. After breakfast, we took two plastic buckets with us and happily rode our bicycles straight to the flower and bird market.

Fang Qia was very talented in reading. He had been on the street for two years before going to college. He was very familiar with the flower and bird market in the capital. He led the three of them through the streets and quickly arrived at the flower and bird market.

After parking his bicycle at the bicycle parking area outside the market and carefully collecting the parking ticket, Fang Qia pointed to the flower and bird market and said proudly: "I tell you, although the flower and bird market here is not the largest market in Beijing, it has the most varieties.

The most complete market. By the way, you only buy koi and turtles today? Do you want to buy some flowers to decorate?"

Liu Xinyu thought for a while and said: "I would like to buy some old plum trees, but I don't know if there are any here?"

Fang Qia glanced at Liu Xinyu: "If it doesn't exist here, it won't exist anywhere else. But old plum trees are hard to find, and even if they exist, the price is not low. By the way, you can buy old plum trees.

What are you doing?"

Liu Xinyu smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Hongliang glanced at Fang Qia, pushed him slightly and said, "Whatever Xinyu wants to buy, just take her to find it, there's so much nonsense."

Yesterday, I heard Liu Xinjian mention the mother-child pool, and Fang Qia laughed hard. This made Liu Xinjian very unhappy, and Zhang Hongliang was also a little unhappy.

After all, it was only under Fang Qia's guidance that he found out that it was a mother pool. Didn't Fang Qia also laugh at Liu Xinjian's joke?

Maybe even Liu Xinyu laughed a little in Fang Qia’s heart!

He could laugh at him, but he couldn't bear to laugh at Liu Xinyu.

If this continues, will we still be friends?!

Although Fang Qia didn't know what Zhang Hongliang was thinking, he also knew that Zhang Hongliang didn't like him being so casual with Liu Xinyu, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but his face looked more serious.

There are not many vendors selling koi, turtles and other ornamental fish in the flower and bird market, and most of them are concentrated in the corners of the market. It would have been really hard to find them if Fang Qia hadn't been there to guide them.

Liu Xinyu didn't understand the quality of koi varieties, but fortunately Fang Qia did. During the bargaining, an unexpected person appeared, who happened to be a knowledgeable person.

This person was Xiao Zhengqing, whom Liu Xinyu called a prodigal son, so a few people who didn't know the business or didn't know much about it bought good koi and turtles.

What makes Liu Xinyu happy the most is that Xiao Zhengqing not only knows how to bargain for fish, but also has news about the old plum tree.

Fang Qia accompanied Liu Xinjian to send the koi and turtle home, while Zhang Hongliang accompanied Liu Xinyu and Xiao Zhengqing to the botanical garden.

Although the botanical garden at this time also had several good areas, it was far from the time to set up a dedicated plum garden.

Xiao Zhengqing seemed to be very familiar with the botanical garden. Instead of taking Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang through the main entrance, he knocked on a small door and took them directly into the botanical garden.

Of course, they had no intention of visiting the botanical garden. Xiao Zhengqing took the two of them directly to a greenhouse where flowers were cultivated.

Although it is already relatively cool in Beijing at the end of September, it is not yet time to use the greenhouse, but there are many kinds of flowers in the greenhouse, which are really colorful and lively.

"The flowers here are specially prepared for the National Day. How do you think they are? They are very good!" Xiao Zhengqing pointed casually in the greenhouse and said proudly.

Xiao Zhengqing's tone surprised Liu Xinyu. He didn't cultivate the flowers, so there's nothing to be proud of!

When a young girl appeared in front of them, Liu Xinyu finally understood why Xiao Zhengqing was so proud.

Although they haven't seen each other for six or seven years, Liu Xinyu still remembers this girl. She is Xiao Zhengqing's stepdaughter. Her name is Xiao... By the way, her name is Xiao Min.

Although Liu Xinyu had heard that Xiao Zhengqing used money to find Xiao Min a formal job, she didn't know that Xiao Min's job was as a flower breeder at the Botanical Garden.

"What are you doing here again today?" Xiao Min glanced at Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang, but did not recognize Liu Xinyu, and turned to glare at Xiao Zhengqing.

Xiao Zhengqing was not unhappy because of Xiao Min's bad attitude. He still looked cheerful and pointed at Liu Xinyu and said, "Do you still remember her? You had a quarrel with her back then!"

Liu Xinyu glanced at Xiao Zhengqing speechlessly, could they be considered a quarrel that day? Probably not!

"Hello, we did have a few words of bickering before. We couldn't even call it a quarrel in front of the courtyard house in Changchun Lane." Liu Xinyu greeted Xiao Min with a smile.

Xiao Min looked at Liu Xinyu seriously, and probably remembered it. She smiled a little sheepishly and said, "I had just arrived in the capital at that time, and I didn't know the heights of the world."

"I came today to buy some plum trees, preferably old plum trees. I wonder if Comrade Xiao has such resources." Xiao Min looked very busy, and Liu Xinyu didn't want to disturb her too much, so she came directly.

Get straight to the point.

It’s really good. The Botanical Garden is planning to dispose of a batch of plum trees. The trees are all fifty, sixty years or even older. But Liu Xinyu is very happy. The older the plum trees are, the more valuable they are. I don’t know why the Botanical Garden wants to dispose of these old plum trees.

Plum tree.

No matter what the reason is, it’s good to have it, and as much as you have.

The price offered by the botanical garden was very conscientious, and even a little lower than the price of cabbage. Liu Xinyu bought more than ten plum trees without saying a word.

However, Liu Xinyu also put forward her own requirements. When digging plum trees, they must dig together with the soil and never damage the tree roots. During transportation, the roots must be firmly tied with straw ropes.

Of course the people in charge of the botanical garden all agreed. If they didn't need to make room for the peach garden, who would be willing to dig up the plum trees?

Liu Xinyu left her address, and the botanical garden will deliver the plum trees to her doorstep within two days.
