"Yes," Wen Xu paused the TV series that was playing, stood up and pointed the direction to the young man, "it's on the row of shelves at the back by the window."
"I saw it, thank you sister." Jiang Xuan walked over. He went first to the cactus, and then to the pothos. After looking at these two, he seemed to be sure of something, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
He turned around and looked at Wen Xu with a bright smile. Just when Wen Xu thought that the young man was going to ask how much this pot of flowers and plants cost, the young man spoke, "Sister, are you still hiring part-time workers here? I have a friend...
"
Well, Wen Xu also laughed, "The 'friend' you mentioned couldn't be you."
Jiang Xuan said sheepishly: "Yes, sister, are you still recruiting workers, or are you recruiting summer workers in the future?"
"Kid, how old are you?"
"Sister, I am not a child anymore." Jiang Xuan said immediately: "I will go to junior high school next semester, and I am not a child anymore."
"Oh, then you are about 12, 13 or 14 years old now," Wen Xu said with a smile: "I'm sorry, little brother, my sister is a law-abiding citizen and does not recruit child labor."
"..." Jiang Xuan said strugglingly: "Then I don't want the money, is it okay?"
This time it was Wen Xu's turn to be silent.
Wen Xu looked at the young man in front of him curiously, "Can I ask why?"
"Ah, this..." Jiang Xuan scratched his head, "I can't tell you exactly, but I can feel it. I feel very comfortable staying here. Oh my, how should I put it?"
"I feel particularly at ease here." Jiang Xuan glanced around the shop, "Let's put it this way, if I study by myself in the library, I might be able to get 100 points on the final math test, but if I go to my sister's flower shop
If I study by myself, I might be able to get a score of 110."
Wen Xu knew why, but he said with a smile: "Is it because the Feng Shui of this small shop is particularly good?"
"No, no, no, ah, no, no, it's possible!" Jiang Xuan said, "But I can feel that the main reason is the green plants in your shop, sister. My aunt gave me a pot of cactus and pothos yesterday, and last night I
Putting it on my desk makes me study very well."
So Jiang Xuan asked his aunt early this morning. After getting the news, he immediately jumped on the bus and came over.
Is this the world of top academics? Wen Xu looked at the young man in front of him with admiration, and then cruelly rejected him.
Jiang Xuan looked at Wen Xu in despair, "Then it doesn't matter if I don't need money? What if I pay?"
This kid has a lot of vision, but, kid, does your mother know that you are so cursory?
"Kid, even if green plants can really help you concentrate on studying, don't rely too much on external things." Wen Xu added without conscience, "What's more, kid, you were in good shape during your self-study yesterday, maybe it's because of you.
The subjects you studied yesterday happened to be what you are good at, what you are interested in, and what you like. Pothos and cactus cannot help students improve their ability to study and concentrate. At most, they can make you feel better."
"Really?" Jiang Xuan was doubtful.
"Of course it's true," Wen Xu looked at Jiang Xuan and said earnestly: "Kids, we have to believe in science. If you don't believe it, you can check the encyclopedia yourself. If you think the encyclopedia is not rigorous enough, you can also look up topics related to planting.
Journal, see if the correlation you are thinking of really exists; even if it exists, is it a positive correlation? If it is a positive correlation, what is the impact? Right?"
After finally coaxing Jiang Xuan away, Wen Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the back of the young man carrying two new potted plants in the distance.
Finally the deception passed.
Little did they know that with this deception, she deceived him into becoming a botanical scholar, but that was a story for another day.
——
"Boss Xiaowen, how could you lie to a child?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Xu looked at the Diaoyutai opposite the store and smiled, "Uncle Wu, I'm not lying. I just don't like false propaganda."
"Why is it false propaganda?" A fish took the bait, and Uncle Wu quickly jumped off the pony. As he reeled in the thread, he did not forget to refute Wen Xu, "Boss Xiao Wen, I have experienced it myself. Since you helped me
The camellia has been cured, and I can rest better at night. Even when fishing, I am not as impatient as before. Boss Xiaowen, you can’t fool me, an old guy. I eat more salt than you eat.
There’s a lot of rice.”
"That's because the heart disease is gone."
"Really?" Uncle Wu was stunned. Is this really the case? He didn't believe it. "Then how can my wife explain it? My wife doesn't like camellias as much as I do."
"But your wife likes you." Wen Xu said teasingly: "If you are in a good mood, then the atmosphere at home will be good. If the atmosphere at home is good, then it is no surprise that your rest will be better."
"Go, go, why are you still making fun of my old man?" Uncle Wu was embarrassed, but in response to Wen Xu's words, Uncle Wu put the fish into the bucket, but the look on his face became very uncertain, "Is it possible?
, is it really my psychological effect?"
"Maybe." Wen Xu said: "Yes, some plants do have the effect of calming the mind, but some claims are exaggerated. Some small green plants are actually not suitable to be placed in the bedroom. If left for a long time, let alone calming the mind.
If you become too focused, your health may suffer."
"...How can I not know this?" Uncle Wu was doubtful, "But I still think that the small green plants in your home are different from those in other homes."
"What's the difference?" Wen Xu smiled and said, "Maybe it's just a little prettier."
——
"It's really beautiful."
The flower shop at No. 2 Jinding Road has a transparent storefront from north to south, just south of the mountains and north of the water.
While Wen Xu was talking to Uncle Wu in the Diaoyutai on the leisure corridor at the back door, a pair of young girls came in from the front door.
The two young girls made one or two exclamations from time to time, while Wen Xu listened to the "wow" sounds without disturbing them. Occasionally, he heard one or two voices from the two girls: "Maybe this is the place.
?”
"It should be so. This restaurant happens to be right next to Yundu Bridge, and it happens to be newly opened." The two girls murmured, "This is definitely the restaurant Xiaofeng was talking about."
"What do you two want to buy?"
"What to buy?" The two girls were confused. "Boss, do you have any recommendations? What kind of green plants are easy to maintain? We may not be able to maintain them if they are too difficult to maintain."
"Do you like asparagus? Asparagus is very easy to grow." Wen Xu continued: "Asparagus is shade-tolerant and can be grown indoors, but it cannot be watered too much. If it is watered too much, it will easily cause root rot."
Wen Xu brought the two girls to the asparagus shelf. The small pot of asparagus with its elegant branches and leaves made people fond of it.
A girl exclaimed: "What a beautiful asparagus, but why is it called this name? It obviously looks like a pine tree!"
Well.
Wen Xu blinked and felt that what the girl said made sense. She smiled and said, "It's because its branches have knots, which looks like bamboo."
"It's true." If you look closely, you can see the nodes on the branches of asparagus. If you look closely at the feathery and light leaves, you can see that they indeed look like bamboo.
