Views:

"By the way, Old Man Jian, I heard that there will be a pot of top-quality orchids on display soon. It will be the finale of today. Are you interested in buying it?" Speaking of top-quality orchids, Mr. Qian became very interested again.

"Not interested in."

"This doesn't seem like your style. Don't you usually care about it the most?"

Mr. Jian is a little abnormal today.

Not only was Mr. Qian curious, but Jian Shulu and his wife Wen Nuan were also feeling strange.

They know very well how much the old man likes orchids, but whenever there are rare varieties or new varieties appear, the old man must take a look.

"I said I wasn't interested in buying it, and I didn't say I didn't care." Mr. Jian said carefully.

Is this any different? Mr. Qian was puzzled by this.

Mr. Jian looked at Mr. Qian's confused look, with a somewhat proud expression on his face.

After staying in the rest area for a while, everyone in the Jian family went to the final booth with Mr. Qian.

The mysterious exhibit that is about to be revealed is surrounded by a large glass cover.

A layer of red cloth was put on the outside of the glass cover.

The host of the exhibition is already in place.

The host began to introduce today’s finale exhibit.

"This is a new variety of orchid with beautiful flower shape and unique floral fragrance. It is the only one of its kind in the world."

This sentence alone was enough to arouse the curiosity of everyone present.

After waiting for a long time, the staff of the exhibition finally unveiled the red cloth.

What appeared in front of everyone was a new type of orchid. The flower color was purple. It was the same as the well-known plain-crown orchid. It was a lotus petal orchid.

Different from the plain color of the Suguan Heding, the color of this plant is noble and elegant purple.

Beautiful shape and unique color.

It immediately caught the attention of the orchid lovers present.

Mr. Qian marveled: "Beautiful, really beautiful. The shape of the lotus petal orchid is graceful and elegant, and the purple color is graceful and luxurious."

Mr. Jian did not comment. When he heard the compliments from the people next to him, there was a look of pride on the old man's face.

Jian Shutao took the initiative to ask Mr. Jian: "Dad, do you like this orchid? I will buy it for you at the auction later."

"No shooting." Mr. Jian replied decisively.

Seeing that the old man was so persistent, Jian Shuhe couldn't insist on taking the picture anymore.

Others nearby have already started asking about the price of this new orchid.

According to usual practice, after such an orchid is exhibited, it is likely to be auctioned at a high price.

But when they asked the exhibition hall staff, they got a different answer than expected.

The provider of the exhibits does not intend to sell them, but simply sends them for display.

This time everyone was disappointed, including Mr. Qian.

He really liked the orchid and was ready to bid.

Mr. Qian and Mr. Jian lamented: "It's rare to see such a desirable variety, but it's not for sale. I feel very uncomfortable."

He only has a few hobbies. He doesn't like collecting jade or antiques, but he likes orchids.

Now this hobby has not been satisfied, and I feel panicked.

If you don't outbid others, it's okay to give up.

Now he is not even given a chance to bid.

Mr. Jian comforted Mr. Qian with a smile: "Old Qian, please be patient. This kind of thing happens all the time. I will buy it again next time when I have the opportunity."

"Old man Jian, you are really different today! You are usually more responsive than me, but why are you acting like a different person today!"
