Chapter 544 accidentally stole the spotlight!
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They didn’t expect that the Li family opened this garden with the intention of doing good deeds...
You must know that famous flowers, like jade, are priceless.
In the eyes of people who don’t like flowers, no matter how good the flowers are, they are just a little prettier than grass. But in the eyes of people who love flowers, a flower is like a treasure, and you can spend all your money on it!
The Li family is willing to give out half of the profits, and even exchange famous flowers for medicinal materials, food and other physical goods, just to help the old, weak, sick and disabled, which is really rare.
Each aristocratic family would make porridge and soup at the city gate every winter, hoping to let the whole Tianwu know about it.
However, relief for the old, weak, sick and disabled is like a bottomless pit. If you throw it in, there will be no splash, and no one will pay attention to it.
The Li family has no intention of seeking any fame or fortune...
Dean Zhou was the first to hold up his hands and said loudly: "Your uncle is so righteous, we really admire him."
Other guests also responded one after another.
“My uncle is very righteous.”
Li Laoerhao did not take the credit, but returned the courtesy modestly, saying: "Having said that, it's time for you to take a look at our Baihuayuan family background. Otherwise, how can we make you willingly give out food and medicinal materials, right?
"We farmers have a saying that a mule is a horse. You can tell by pulling it out for a run! Let's run around now..."
After saying that, he waved his hand towards the gate of the east garden, and Mr. Cao carefully took out a pot of flowers.
Before he put the flower pot on the display table, someone who knew the goods said: "Oh, it's a golden camellia!"
Bystanders were also surprised and said: "It's really a golden camellia! But now is not the season when the camellia blooms. How are they cultivated?"
"Not only is it out of season, but it's also blooming so well. It's dazzling, crystal clear and oily, and the petals seem to be translucent. This is the best among camellias!" One of the famous flower-viewing officials couldn't hold back and walked over. Go ahead and start the review.
Another person followed closely behind and said not to be outdone: "The flowers of golden camellias are mostly cup-shaped. Such bowl-shaped flowers are really rare. They are so delicate, colorful, beautiful and elegant!"
Although the other guests did not know as much as the two famous officials, their affection for him was every bit as good.
Some people who were far away could not help but get up and move to the front, causing the guests who were sitting in front to also stand up.
Otherwise, they won’t be able to see…
I have to say that the flower show has just begun and the guests have already started to curl up.
Someone even asked loudly, "Uncle Li, how much does this pot of golden camellia cost?"
Li Laoer, however, smiled and waved his hand, and replied: "Dear guest, don't be impatient, there are still good flowers behind. Maybe if you keep reading, there will be something you like more!"
Having said that, he made way for the guests to enjoy the flowers. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that Xiao Cao stepped forward and put the golden camellias into the main room.
There is no one in the main room, so I am not afraid of being stepped on.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Cao brought out another pot of flowers from the East Garden. It was still a camellia, but it surprised everyone even more!
“Bingdi Chang’e!”
“Oh, it’s true, but I prefer to call it Dawucai!”
“Uncle, where did you find it? The last time I saw it was in the Imperial Garden! I heard that it was accidentally smashed when we moved the capital. I felt sad for a long time, but I didn’t expect to see it here again!”
"How much does this flower cost? My uncle must keep it for me. My eldest son is getting married, so the word "bindi" is so appropriate!"
“No, no, you must keep it for me! My little girl is getting married, and this pot of flowers is more suitable to be included in the dowry!”
Everyone was already fighting over it before they could appreciate it.
Later, Mrs. Liu came forward to persuade: "Everyone, we will discuss who will get the flowers later. Now let's enjoy the flowers! It is rare to have such a grand event, and it is enough to leave a name in history!" He is a leader, he is from a local wealthy family, and he has the title of bachelor, so he is naturally very prestigious.
Even though everyone was impatient, they still wanted to show some respect, so they all smiled and held their hands.
The two famous officials began to comment again. When they talked about their happiness, everyone recited a few poems, making the scene more lively.
Following this, other famous products appeared one after another.
Emei Xian and Junhe among the orchids, Golden Phoenix and Huang Tianzan among the chrysanthemums... There is even a basin of golden lotus!
Golden lotus blooms on the ground. The flower lives up to its name, just like the golden lotus seat under the Buddha. It is colorful, noble and elegant.
Because the petals are stacked one on top of another, it is also called the thousand-petal lotus. From a distance, it looks like the torch of the Buddha, giving people a sense of sacredness and awe.
This kind of flower can only be seen in the extreme west and extreme south due to the influence of the environment.
It is said that anyone who sees this flower will be blessed by Buddha, have a prosperous family business and good health.
Everyone had only heard about it in travel notes, and at most had seen pictures in albums, but they didn’t expect to see it with their own eyes today!
At this moment, some spectators who believed in Buddhism were already chanting the Buddha’s name.
Even if the rest of the people do not believe in Buddhism, their expressions are solemn and they dare not talk or laugh to avoid blasphemy.
Even asking how much the price is, it turns into asking how much it would cost to invite Jin Lian home...
Li Laoer originally prepared two peonies for the finale, but his niece specially placed them in the car, which will surely amaze everyone.
Unexpectedly, the golden lotus blooming in this basin will steal the spotlight!
At first, when Jiayi and the others were in Quanzhou, they met a merchant from the southwest with a strong accent. Because Jiayi helped him a little, the merchant gave him two seeds, which were very big and strange.
Jiayi didn’t understand what it was, so he thought of it as a gadget and brought it back to his sister to play with.
As a result, Fu Niu'er didn't know how to raise it, but the two seeds actually grew into two golden lotus trees. After tillering, they were divided into pots...two became four, four became eight, and now there are seven other pots stored in the east garden!
Now it seems that the seven pots cannot be taken out casually.
Things are rare and valuable, and this pot is enough to make the garden a blockbuster, making the flower show more popular than expected.
In the west room of the main house, Jiayin, grandma and mother were sitting behind the window, looking at the excitement in the yard through the crack of the opened window.
At this moment, Jiayin really tried his best to endure it and did not take a deep breath.
Let alone the second uncle, she herself doesn’t regard this lotus as a good thing!
There are at least seventeen or eighteen pots in the space. Sanjou even thought of this thing as a yellow radish before and took a bite. He disliked the bad taste and never ate it again.
It's a good thing that this is the case, otherwise she would be so distressed that she would vomit blood.
Although no customer has made an offer yet, any fool can see that this potted flower will definitely fetch a sky-high price!
Sure enough, someone has already asked loudly: "My old mother has believed in Buddha all her life. This basin is full of golden lotus. I must invite her back. Please give me the price, Uncle Li!"
Not to be outdone, someone hurriedly said: "Me too, I must take the Diyong Golden Lotus back. No matter what Uncle Li asks for, I will add 10%."
Everyone was in a quarrel for a while, and they all wanted to take Jinlian back. Even Mrs. Liu was eager to try it.
The mother of one of his old friends is still alive. She is eighty years old. She has believed in Buddhism all her life. She is about to celebrate her birthday. It would be great if she could give her a Golden Lotus as a birthday gift!
It’s a pity that there is only this one...
He sighed secretly, but when he turned around and saw Li Laoer, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The Li family acts prudently and cannot do anything without leaving a backup plan.
There is one golden lotus here, maybe there is a second one...
