Old man Lan didn't explain much about the name of the flower, but simply mentioned that the discovery of the flower was related to a cat, and when people asked about it, Old Man Lan kept his mouth shut again, just didn't say anything.
Fortunately, everyone's attention is now focused on the potted flower. Although it seems strange that the word "cat" is in the flower's name, now is not the time to struggle with the name.
Recently, old man Lan has been mentioned many times because of this pot of flowers. The matter of old man Lan raising a pot of orchids that cost more than 10 million yuan has become a hot topic in the family courtyards of the two districts. Originally, old man Lan used to raise orchids because of the Raising the famous treasure orchid has a great reputation, and now it is even more so.
Wherever old man Lan went recently, he met someone he knew, and people would ask him, "Lao Lan, take out your pot of jade cat for everyone to see, don't keep it hidden!"
It's a pity that after the name of the flower is set, old man Lan's flowerbed is not going to be open to the public. Even the good ones don't want to go through the back door. Old man Lan has contacted someone and is going to send this pot of flowers to the botanical garden. Before, Old Man Lan didn't intend to be seen by others. When there were a few clinging and annoying Old Man Lan, he would let them look down. turned away. So, sometimes you have to be thick-skinned.
Zheng Tan also heard that in order to see orchids, two old men looked for the orchid but couldn't find anyone. Seeing that the wall of the small flower garden was not too high, they took a ladder and climbed over the wall. He was flexible and didn't respond very quickly. He almost fell and was caught by the old man Lan and laughed for a long time.
In any case, after three years of silence, Old Man Lan's face turned pale this time.
The flower show lasted for a long time, from two days before the 11th to the 20th. Because this year is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the provincial and city leaders decided to hold a large flower show to celebrate.
The flower show is divided into several branch venues and a main venue, so that citizens living in various districts can go to the park or square closest to their residence to see the flower show. The old man Lan and some professionals focused their attention on the main venue of the city botanical garden. There, there will be more famous and precious flowers on display.
Many of the flowers in the main venue and the branch venues were collected from the public, but many of the finale were provided by some people in the circle who love flowers and flowers, and they did not take all the famous flowers on hand. When I go to the botanical garden, I will still leave one or two pots in other branch venues, so that there are also famous products on display there for the public to watch. Of course, there are also special security personnel in the branch venues, so there is no need to worry about damage.
However, the ace flower seeds used to raise their own face and slap each other's face with good hearts, the old men will still take them to the main venue of the botanical garden. There are professional-grade display stand protection windows and more professional talents and connoisseurs. Although this is not an event like an expo, in a sense, it has been regarded as a small exchange meeting by some people.
What is the meeting for
Exchange of flower gardening experience
Yes, of course there is.
and then
Just like a class reunion, it is necessary to pretend and show off your wealth.
It's just that others are showing off the garage table, and they are showing off the flowers and trees. The old men still feel pretty good about themselves. This is also an art, a high-level spiritual enjoyment, not a vulgar exchange of money.
Every time he heard the smug old men in the compound say these things, Zheng Tan would despise them in his heart. A bunch of old urchins, don't look like a master in front of college students or young teachers, they are an old man in private. Children, they will still compete, they will still fight, and they will still do some ridiculous things, such as the two-day wall-climbing incident.
In the morning, Zheng Tan followed Dad Jiao out and walked around the small flower garden, when he happened to see the old man Lan coming out of the small flower garden like a thief. When he came out, he paid attention to whether there were any acquaintances around. When he saw no one, he quickly Lock the courtyard door, clap your hands and go home.
The old man Lan had already placed the flowers in it so early in the morning. I don't know when he got up, but he probably came out at five in the morning. This is obviously to prevent others from coming over.
After seeing Zheng Tan, old man Lan's face was full of wrinkled smiles again.
"Hei Tan, the flower show will continue for another week, but tomorrow we old men made an appointment to bring the flowers over, and then you and your cat dad and the others will go there to see it."
Old Man Lan and their respective darlings will definitely not be on the booth all the time. One day of communication is enough, why does it take a week? Except for the people who were full during the Golden Week on the 11th, the botanical garden is much more relaxed now, and there will be no riots, so they can feel at ease.
And what the old man said just now also revealed two points of information. First, the treasures of the old guys will be exhibited tomorrow; second, the little Jiao in the mouth of the old man Lan is Jiao Dad. Since he said that, it means that Jiao Dad and the others will go to see it. Tomorrow is Saturday, Jiao Yuan. When the little grapefruit is there, the whole family can go there; thirdly, generally speaking, according to the rules, pets are not allowed in the botanical garden, but there are few people on weekdays, so the people in the botanical garden will turn a blind eye. , But now it is during the flower show, it is still difficult for pets to enter, and if the old man Lan can propose to let Zheng Tan go with him, he must have taken care of the relationship with the botanical garden. Maybe the required documents have already been given to Jiao. dad.
Zheng Tan is naturally very happy to be able to go to the Botanical Garden with Jiao's family to see the flower show. It is a good time to relax with the family and get in touch with nature.
Another privilege.
Zheng Tan also knew that old man Lan Jiao Dad and the others had said that if the potted flower wanted to be sold, his suggestion was to hold it down for the time being, not in a hurry to sell it, and not be afraid of the collapse of the Lan market. Every year, there are some orchid exchange meetings and expositions, which are attended by some well-known people in the circle, both domestic and foreign, and many of them are not open to the public. After all, what everyone brought to the exchange meeting was their own good, valuable, and could not afford to make mistakes. Bring it to the exhibition, as long as the orchid is famous and there are more people who want to buy it, the price will naturally rise again, and it may even double.
Papa Jiao didn't seem to have any intention of selling it, which made Old Man Lan relieved, and his mood was naturally better, because it meant that Orchid might stay in his old man's hands for several more years.
After the old man Lan left, Zheng Tan didn't plan to go into the small flowerbed to see the flowers. He was actually not very interested in those. Besides, since the old man Lan had already been to the small flowerbed, he must have done a good job in the protection inside. , you can't see the potted flower when you go in.
Just as he was about to leave, Zheng Tan moved his ears and looked over.
The sheriff jumped down from a tree at the corner, walked some distance around the fence, glanced at Zheng Tan, saw that Zheng Tan had no intention of jumping in, so he moved on his own and climbed over the wall to enter.
Just like those who care about orchids, the sheriff has been thinking about the orchid since he saw the pot of orchid, but the old man Lan had already had the experience of preventing it, and he never let the sheriff see the pot of flowers again, even if the sheriff every day. They all came to guard and couldn't get that chance.
Didn't the sheriff understand Old Man Lan's warning
not necessarily.
As Zheng Tan, who has known the sheriff for six years, he knows that this guy's IQ is no problem at all, and cats who have been in contact with humans for a long time in human society can also understand some words.
Don't think they don't understand, they just don't want to execute, they're just playing stupid.
The reason why he stepped on the line so many times was simply because the sheriff knew that old man Lan couldn't take it, and he wanted to watch the flowers and gnaw the flowers, so he just pretended that he didn't understand. Shake it out and throw it away.
Zheng Tan jumped up on the wall and looked at it. Sure enough, the sheriff could only wander outside the cat-proof net, and he couldn't go inside the flower shed. He could only nibble on the unprotected trees and small wildflowers around him.
With the sheriff tossing around there, Zheng Tan jumped on the school tree and looked up at the sky.
Although it had rained and dropped a little temperature on November 11, but now the sky is clear and the temperature has risen again, it should be a sunny day tomorrow.
That's right, they wouldn't go if it wasn't for Daqingtianlan, the old man and the others. He must have already understood all kinds of weather and geography about what to do.
Just as Zheng Tan thought, the next day was indeed a sunny day, and the sky turned blue and clear, unlike the usual gray.
The Jiao family, the four and one cat, drove to the botanical garden.
On the way, Jiao Yuan kept asking about the pot of orchid. He only came back from school last night, and only knew that he was going to the botanical garden to see the flower show on Saturday, and Xiao Yuzi told him about the pot of orchid. When Zheng Tan came back with the orchid, Jiao Yuan also knew that there was no need to hide it. Besides, he had heard some gossip about the compound, but he didn't think of it at the time.
The Botanical Garden is not far from Chuhua University, it takes more than 20 minutes to drive there. If it hadn't been blocked for a while, it would have been ten minutes.
Lan Tianzhu moved with his grandfather Lan, Xiong Xiong's mother and Xiong Xiong would arrive later, and Su An's family and Shi Rui's family moved together. The Jiao family was the first to arrive.
The parking place is still some distance from the gate of the botanical garden, because during the flower show, the flow of people is still more than usual, and the botanical garden as the main venue naturally has more people driving over, it is impossible for everyone to drive there. , there are not so many parking places near the gate of the botanical garden.
Of course, those with special licenses can still pass, such as Lan Laotou and others, who have long been acquaintances with the people in the botanical garden.
Although the old man Lan gave Jiao Dad the certificate to allow Zheng Tan to enter, but in order not to be too conspicuous, Zheng Tan still squatted in his backpack for a while.
Be low-key as a human being, and be a cat too.
It is impossible to let Xiaoyouzi and Jiao's mother carry backpacks, respect the old and love the young, and Jiao Yuan will not let Jiao's father carry it. Jiao Yuan is a third-year high schooler, and he is taller and stronger than Jiao's father. Who does he not carry
When walking to the gate, Zheng Tan saw a sign near the zipper of his backpack, and volunteers wearing uniforms posted some plant distribution maps in various areas of the botanical garden. Some prohibited areas were clearly marked on it. How many are there today? The place is not open to the public.
Just as he was watching, a black car drove slowly over.
"Why can that car drive in? I don't think it's so special." Jiao Yuan asked. Someone stopped the car from entering the area where they just passed, so they parked the car further away.
"There is a pass on the window of that car." Jiao Dad explained.
Jiao Yuan let out an "oh" and was no longer confused. Privileges are always there, they can have it, and so can others.
Zheng Tan stuck his head out of his backpack and looked at the car that was driving by at a slow speed. He felt that when the car was driving past, something was staring at them.
