Chapter 18 New Discovery
Author: Undersea Lava
After Xia Houyue finished eating the snail noodles, she took the remaining disposable bowls and chopsticks and threw them into the trash can outside the flower shop.
Su Ji sat on the plastic bench in front of the cashier and read a magazine.
It's Xiahou Ma's fashion magazine.
Su Ji didn't like reading fashion magazines. Seeing Xia Houyue return to the flower shop after throwing away the trash, she immediately closed the fashion magazine and put it on the cashier, and asked, "How is the flower shop business now?"
He only knew that Xiahou Ma's flower shop had a very good business in the past.
"Not so good." Xia Hooyue shook her head and said, "Nowadays, people like to buy potted plants online and don't like to buy potted plants in physical stores. They think the things in physical stores are too expensive... Buying potted plants online is cheaper, but it's easy to get the goods wrong.
board situation.”
"Fortunately, my mother not only sells potted plants, but also controls pests and diseases -" she lifted her collar, shrank her neck, wrinkled her nose and sniffed, frowning, "Why does it still smell?"
"It will disappear after a while." Su Ji said.
"I hate snail noodles." Xia Houyue tugged on her collar, hoping that the smell of snail noodles would dissipate soon. This action exposed all the delicate collarbones under her shoulders.
"Don't pick up the bowl to eat, and turn the bowl over to curse." Su Ji said, "Go on, you just said that your mother not only sells potted plants, but also does pest control... what's next."
Xia Hooyue glared at Su Ji and said: "That's right, as long as the potted plants bought in our flower shop have diseases...it doesn't matter if they were not bought in our flower shop. She will help treat the diseases, so she has accumulated many regular customers...
…These regular customers spread word of mouth and bring in new ones, so our flower shop business is pretty good.”
"Valentine's Day and Chinese Valentine's Day, business should be good, right?" Su Ji asked.
"It was possible before, but not now." Xia Houyue sniffed the collar again, and there was still a smell. For a while, she had no choice but to leave it alone.
She sat behind the cashier, lying on the table, and out of boredom stretched out her hand to tap the Lucky Cat's arm swinging back and forth, and said: "Now everyone knows how to do business... On Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, and even Christmas, you can go to the city center to see
Look, there are flower stalls everywhere in the pedestrian streets, underground passages, clock towers, and the Palace of Culture.”
Su Ji nodded noncommittally and said, "Have you guys considered opening an online store?"
"Meituan is about the same." Xia Houyue twitched the corner of her mouth, "If you open an online store...the potted plants in our flower shop are not grown in our own flower fields. They are all bought from the flower market. The purchase is not cheap, and we cannot lose money.
How can I sell it better than those self-operated online stores of flower farmer bases... What are you doing to join in the fun?"
"Anyway, auntie opened this flower shop just out of interest and to find something to do. It doesn't matter whether the business is good or not." Su Ji comforted.
"I can only comfort you like this." Xia Houyue was listless.
Su Ji smiled and ended the topic.
"How is your work going?" Xia Hooyue suddenly asked.
"My job?" Su Ji said, "I resigned."
Xia Hooyue raised her head for a moment and said in surprise: "You resigned? Why did you resign? Don't you say that this job is very good now? It's in the Information Industry Park, close to home, and it takes at most ten minutes to ride an electric bike. The benefits are
It’s also very good, with two weekends off, five insurances and one housing fund.”
"There are only five insurances, not one gold." Su Ji corrected.
"If you don't, then you don't." Xia Hooyue asked, "When did you resign?"
"Wednesday morning."
"So why?" she asked again.
"There's no reason. I just resigned because I didn't want to go to work." Su Ji said perfunctorily, and then thought about it and explained, "I still think the salary in that job is too low and the benefits are not very good... You see, you don't even have a single payment, and you still have a family."
A small company with just a few dozen employees has no future."
"Okay." Xia Hooyue asked, "Are you ready to find a new job now?"
"Well...can you stop working? I just want to eat and sleep, and sleep and eat."
Su Ji feels that his mentality has changed a bit recently.
I didn’t know that I had the blood of a dragon, so as an ordinary person, I had to work and get married and have children in the future. Now I know that I have the blood of a dragon and I will become a dragon in the future, especially since I heard from my mother that dragons have a long lifespan.
After ten thousand years, I suddenly felt a little confused and didn't know where to go.
What he thinks now is that it doesn't matter whether he works or not, the key is to become a dragon and then think about the future.
"Where can I find a rich woman asking for support..." Su Ji narrowed her eyes, "Rich woman, I'm hungry, I need food."
Xia Hooyue glanced at Su Ji's face and thought that it would be easy to find a rich woman with this face.
"You are dreaming." Xia Hooyue bluntly hit Su Ji and said, "What are you thinking? In the real world, there are no young and beautiful rich women with big waves, only leopard print aunts and steel balls."
"Steel ball!" She emphasized her voice, "There are ten more times a night, can you do it?"
"Then let's be a rich loli woman."
"..." Xia Hooyue took out her mobile phone and pretended to put it to her ear, "Hey, police, I'll report it."
Su Ji laughed.
"But you really have to think about work, otherwise you won't have money to eat." Su Ji subconsciously leaned back, and as soon as his back hit the flower stand, it immediately bounced up. He was afraid that the flower stand would fall over, "I think I have something special.
My talent in caring for and maintaining potted plants, I can save them even if they are dead."
"What do you think of me doing this?" he asked.
"What special talent does it take to take care of potted plants?" Xia Houyue asked.
"You didn't just forget about that pot of camellias." Su Ji said, "You must have been there at that time. They called me specifically to thank me, insisted on giving me treatment fees, and called me master... you
I don’t know, but they also brought a few potted plants over and asked me to save them.”
"Is there such a thing?" Xia Hooyue sat up straight, "Why didn't I know about it?"
"Because I didn't tell you."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xia Hooyue's tone suddenly became stern, "My mother has encountered similar things before. Someone asked her to take care of some flowers. In the end, the flowers died and my mother had to compensate him...it was about to die.
There is no way that the flowers will save lives as soon as they say they can. That is blackmail... You won’t be tricked, right?"
"I'm not stupid. I promised to compensate him if he couldn't be saved."
"My mother didn't agree to him at that time, but told him that there was no guarantee that he would be saved alive. But the man insisted on my mother paying compensation. In the end, she had no choice but to pay a lot of money." Xia Hooyue said, "Do you think it is that simple?"
"It's okay. I'm not like your mother, who runs a flower shop and is afraid of people making trouble, but what am I afraid of as a street kid without a job? Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes." Su Xia laughed, "Besides, I am
Help him revive those potted plants and make them flourish."
"What are you talking about... No, do you really have talent? Do you still have that kind of talent?"
"Can I still lie to you?" Su Ji said, "I have talent, but lack relevant knowledge. I asked you to borrow books just to make up for this shortcoming. When I have learned almost everything, I will understand all kinds of
Potted plants...all kinds of plants, their maintenance methods, etc. Then I can make money by doing maintenance work."
"Aren't you trying to steal business from my family?" Xia Hooyue said.
"Eh..." Su Ji was stunned, "Your flower shop mainly sells potted plants, but I don't sell them. I am only responsible for maintenance and treatment. We are not a competitive relationship, but a cooperative relationship."
Xia Houyue burst into laughter and said, "That's good, let's run a flower shop together."
“A pleasure to work with.”
"No, you really think about it, and you can cooperate happily..." Xia Houyue said funny, "Even if you are talented, there are so many flowers and plants that need to be maintained... Most people just forget about potted plants. And indoor potted plants are maintained.
The charging standard is about 30 yuan per visit, and even if you come to your home, it only costs a few hundred yuan. It’s better to go to work.”
"There are always precious potted plants or trees that need maintenance and treatment... Then it will be my turn to show off my talents." Su Ji said, "I will not open for three years, and I will only open for three years."
"Famousness and channels, without these things, who would know you and ask you for help." Xia Hooyue said with disdain, "People call you master politely, do you really think you are a master?"
"The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley." Su Ji said, saying that he felt that the future was a bit gloomy.
"Stop talking...what's the name of this succulent?"
Su Ji didn't want to continue that sad topic,
He picked up a pot of succulents from the flower stand. It was so small that the pot was only about the size of a fist.
"I don't know." Xia Hooyue shook her head, "I only know that it's succulent. It costs ten yuan."
"Is it so cheap?" Su Ji picked up the pot of succulents and held it up to the sunlight shining into the flower shop from the window. "Succulents are a good thing. They are cheap, beautiful and easy to feed... have you seen it?"
"What?"
"My hands feel like heat waves."
"I can't see. There's nothing in your hands." Xia Hooyue said, "You must be dazzled."
"Maybe." Su Ji said.
Su Ji didn't say that he was definitely not dazzled. He saw something like a heat wave, which he seemed to be able to control.
That was the energy, or spiritual power, emanating from his hands.
