The pot of "Excellent Workmanship" that Fatty Cui gave to Li Xi'er was given to him by a jade merchant with connections, but Fatty Cui himself doesn't like these flowers and plants, and his little dumpling is too naughty, so such a famous flower It was wasted in vain at home, so it was transferred to Li Xi'er.
"I heard from my friend that I bought it at a newly opened flower shop opposite Wuhou Temple. Is it fake?"
Lin Luoran has black hair and is used to selling jade, Fatty Cui has become a habit of questioning the authenticity of an item.
"Of course the flowers are real, but the quality is good, so I plan to patronize the shop owner's business again. Do you know the exact address?"
Fatty Cui laughed a few times before saying, "Go, it's easy to find. It's in the alley diagonally opposite Wuhou Temple... The owner's surname is Yang, and he's quite young. You can find out when you ask." In other words, the young female shopkeeper is more attractive than flowers, otherwise, why would he spend a lot of money to buy a pot of peony that is said to be a famous product, but in fact he doesn't understand it at all.
Lin Luoran got the address, so she made an appointment with Li Xier to see flowers.
The two drove there, the road was not too far, the alley was very lively, and it was really easy to find as Fatty Cui said, because this is the only flower shop selling potted plants in this alley.
There are not many people looking at the flowers. Lin Luoran took a look at the flowers displayed outside. The prices basically range from a few hundred to a few thousand. Nowadays, you can buy a pot of ordinary small potted plants for ten yuan to decorate the house. If you are not a true flower lover, it is difficult to accept this high-end flower that may cost a month's salary at every turn.
Lin Luoran saw two old men staring at an orchid at the entrance with a magnifying glass. They seemed to want to confirm the authenticity of the species. There were indeed many tourists admiring it from a distance. The leaves will be broken and the flowers will be dropped. People who look closely have purchasing power.
So the owner of the shop is indeed at leisure. When he saw Lin Luoran and Li Xi'er coming in, the young shop owner paused for a while, and walked forward with a smile:
"You two can watch as you please."
Lin Luoran turned her eyes from the orchids to the shop owner. She was very young, only in her early twenties. Among ordinary people, her appearance could be eye-catching, but Lin Luoran was used to beauties in the world of practice. Not to mention, Bai Xianzi's appearance can be regarded as a catastrophic level, Xin Yuanping is also very beautiful, Li Xi'er is put in the entertainment circle, and she can be the queen of the day if she can't act... But this shop owner, how should I put it, his facial features are not the same It is particularly brilliant, but it is very comfortable to put together, especially the dimples that are looming when speaking, which makes people feel amiable.
The qi and blood in the body are the same as ordinary people, there is no abnormality, but Lin Luoran's heart is raised.
She never felt that someone was very kind just because of her appearance. The only exception was Xin Yuanping. When this woman spoke, every frown and smile made the Lin family defenseless. Lin Luoran suffered a big loss. still fresh.
"It's like this. My younger sister likes these flowers and plants very much. A few days ago, someone gave a peony plant, and the symptoms of leaf withering appeared. I tried many methods but couldn't cure it, so I wanted to ask the owner if there is any way. Save it? Oh, I forgot to mention, my friend said it was bought in your store."
It sounds like an unreasonable person who blames the seller for Hua'er's illness. If it weren't for the fact that both parties are women, the two old men who look at flowers would have to stand up and say something fair.
Yang Lisha asked with a good-tempered smile: "Guest, my surname is Yang. Do you still remember when you bought that potted flower? We have records of all shipments here. Of course, even if I bought it from another place, I can buy it by the way." I helped you take a look."
It was a perfect answer, and Yang Lisha's response made the buyers in the store nod secretly, lamenting that this little girl is generous in her work.
Lin Luoran was surprised: "It was a gift from someone else, I really don't know when I bought it."
The smile on Yang Lisha's face remained unchanged: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember it, can you explain the symptoms more specifically?"
"I don't understand this either, I only know that the leaves are withered and yellow..." Lin Luoran really looked like a difficult layman who had money and didn't know how to spend it. Seeing that the old men next to her finally showed an expression, she quickly added a sentence : "But I brought the flowers, Xi'er, go and move them out for Miss Yang to see."
Li Xi'er came in with a pot of peonies that looked like they were about to wither and turn yellow. The two old men who watched Lan peeked at them and whispered: "It looks like the pot of Yangzhou famous products we sold last time. It turned out to be sold to them." Yes, it's a pity to develop like this."
These words hit Li Xi'er's sore feet, she gave the two talkative old men a hard look, not caring about respecting the old and caring for the young.
Yang Lisha looked at it, her eyes brightened, "It was sold in the store, I am afraid there are aphids eating the roots, if you don't worry about me, put the peony here, I will kill the aphids in two days, Grow the flowers more righteously, and then you can pick them up."
She intentionally or unintentionally blocked the open door of the backyard while she was speaking. Lin Luoran was taller, and saw many more valuable famous flowers in the yard. Among them was a big tree, surrounded by one person, very similar to the one in the past. The acacia tree seen in a picture book.
The two old men sang together, and they were helping the shopkeeper sing praises, saying that she was excellent at planting flowers, and most of the famous flowers here were cultivated by the female shopkeeper herself.
Li Xier wanted to say something, but Lin Luoran nodded and said yes, put down the words, left her address and contact information, ordered a few pots of flowers, and left the flower shop.
Li Xi'er has been with Lin Luoran for a long time, and she knows some of her style of behavior. She doesn't feel like it's easy to pay for it this time, so she keeps her mouth shut until the car has driven a long way before she is ready to express her opinion.
Lin Luoran hit Xiaoqianjie to block the sound from the outside world, Li Xier took a deep breath: "Senior sister, do we have any other actions?"
"Okay, some progress."
Li Xi'er pouted: "I'm not a three-year-old kid, senior sister, the shop owner is also a monk? Could it be a demon cultivator? I didn't see it at all."
Lin Luoran chuckled: "I didn't see it either."
Li Xi'er had a glint in her eyes, "Then there must be something wrong."
Yes, nothing can be seen, there is indeed a problem. When I was young, I saw a flower shop that sold all expensive flowers and trees. As an ordinary person, isn't he afraid of being coveted by thieves? The acacia tree in the backyard has an unconcealable wood aura rushing towards the face, nourishing the famous flowers all over the yard.
This store with the surname Yang has no cultivation at all. Since the spirit-eating worm entered the Lin family hidden in the peonies that were sold, why would the spirit-eating worm not choose the acacia tree, which cannot be covered by the wood's aura, but eat ordinary peonies... I am afraid there is only one kind of peony. Explain that it was raised by the female shop owner, and she dared not touch the acacia tree without the owner's consent.
Lin Luoran glanced at the business card she just picked up. Yang Lisha is really an ordinary name with no characteristics.
However, the mystery should be revealed tonight.
Thinking of the spirit-eating bug that she left at home, this Miss Yang, if she can't find it, will automatically come to her door.
I wonder if the moonlight is good tonight
…
Not long after Lin Luoran left, Yang Lisha closed the door early today. She pulled out the peony and carefully turned the soil inside.
"You little thing, you were secretly hiding in the peony, and you were almost sold out. Fortunately, those two little monks didn't know you, and they couldn't cure the flower, so they sent you back."
The two little monks really didn't know the spirit-eating bugs, but there were two living dictionaries in Lin Luoran's space, Yang Lisha had no way of knowing, but quickly frowned.
The soil in the flowerpot spilled all over the ground, and there was no trace of the spirit-eating insects in it. She didn't suspect Lin Luoran yet, she frowned because she thought that the spirit devourer would stay at someone else's house. After thinking about Lin Luoran's cultivation level, Yang Lisha woke up suddenly, and took a look at the address book left behind, her frowning gradually spread out:
"So it's you, so it's fate."
She replanted the peony, moved it under the acacia tree, washed her hands, and swept a ladybug off the tree trunk.
"I didn't expect to find the relevant person so quickly. Although it's not the real master, it's not much different. Ah Wu, are you helping me in the dark?"
This named acacia tree stood quietly in the yard and did not respond to Yang Lisha's question.
She stood under the tree for a while, seemed to want to blink back the water in her eyes, and raised her head.
…
Night fell soon, Li Xi'er was so excited that she couldn't sleep, she was driven to sleep by Lin Luoran, and secretly looked out the window.
On the stone table in the front yard, Lin Luoran made a pot of scented tea, and the koi in the fish tank jumped out of the water from time to time, competing for the peanuts that Lin Luoran occasionally threw into the tank.
The peanuts are very plump, and you can eat them today when you ordered them yesterday. They are produced in the space, and you will know how they taste when you see those koi go crazy again.
Lin Luoran felt that the protective formation she had put up with so much painstaking efforts moved, and the attack formation of the water system had no time to exert its strength, and then dimmed again. The figure at the foot of the wall appeared on the top of the wall, as if it was really just an ordinary person. It is the formation that is lying about the military situation.
Seeing Lin Luoran sitting in the yard sipping tea, as if not surprised at all by someone visiting at night, the figure paused, and simply jumped off the wall.
"Are you waiting for me?" Did this female cultivator see through her true body? Yang Lisha hesitated for a while, then sat down and poured a cup of scented tea for herself, her mouth was full of fragrance, the tea was indeed good tea, but she still didn't believe that this female cultivator had seen through her.
Lin Luoran put the bamboo tube on the stone table and said with a faint smile, "I also know that you are here to look for it."
Yang Lisha didn't show any surprise, "So you also know this spirit-eating bug. Since you caught this thing, why are you willing to take it out?" In the current environment where spiritual energy is scarce, a spiritual mine is more valuable than before. times, and the spirit devouring bug, isn't it such a good helper.
Lin Luoran took a sip of tea:
"Because I'm a bit greedy and want more. For example... where did I catch this bug?"
