Chapter 842: Flowers and Money

But Bai Shan asked curiously: "What are you wearing on your hair?"

"Flowers," Man Bao said, "Be careful when you lift them down, most of the flowers are half bloomed, so don't knock them over."

Daji and Zhou Zhoulang went to carefully carry the box back to the yard, while Bai Shan and Bai Erlang took tools to open the box, and after opening the box, everyone smelled a strong fragrance of flowers, even Mr. out of the study.

All three boxes were opened, and everyone in the yard opened their mouths in surprise. Mr. Zhuang was dazed for a moment, and then looked at Man Bao in surprise. It was the first time he knew that his disciple had such energy.

Man Bao paid a handful of copper coins to the coachman indifferently, and said, "Okay, thank you for sending me back."

The coachman didn't know flowers, and he felt that these flowers were not much better than the two pots of red peonies he bought, so he also took the money and left with a calm face, leaving behind a yard of knowledgeable people looking at each other.

Ever since Zhou Zhoulang knew that Manbao sold two pots of orchids for a high price of two hundred taels, and brought back a pot of peonies that were said to be worth eight hundred taels, he quietly asked Mr. Zhuang, although it was just the basics, But I also have a comprehensive understanding of the valuable flowers in the flower market.

Zhou Lang summed it up, basically there are only a few kinds of valuable flowers, plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and peony, and not all of these four kinds of flowers are valuable.

For example, chrysanthemums, small wild chrysanthemums that are common on the roadside, you can pick a lot at will, so is it worth money?

He took a small notebook and wrote down the most valuable varieties and colors of several kinds of flowers. The three boxes of peonies brought back by Man Bao, let alone the two boxes of pure white peonies, he already knew the price. The three potted flowers in a smaller box are facing the most valuable colors that Mr. Zhuang said.

He can't look at the species, but he can look at the color of the flowers!

Zhou Zhoulang squatted on the ground and went to the box to look at the three potted flowers. He reached out to touch the peony flowers, but he was a little scared. He looked up at Mr. Zhuang and asked, "Mr. Zhuang, is this the one you said?" So what is yellow and what is purple?"

"Yao Huang Wei Zi!" Zhou Lijun had memorized their names a long time ago, and he also came up to look at them, and then said with certainty: "That's right, the colors are exactly the same as what Mr. said."

Mr. Zhuang also lowered his head to take a closer look, nodded, and shook his head again, "It looks very similar, but it doesn't seem to be. At least the leaves are a little different from the description in the text."

"But even if it is not, the petals can bloom like this, and the color is so true, it is also very precious. If it is a foreign species in Yao Huangzhong, it will be even more valuable."

Man Bao was surprised, "Is the alien species worth money?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, peonies did not have so many colors in the beginning. They were obtained after continuous cultivation and selection by craftsmen, and these colors are all different species. Every time a different species appears is very important, because even if its color It's not very good-looking, and it can also be mated to other breeds, and it may produce better-looking colors."

Then why are the alien species in that world so worthless?

Man Bao thought about it.

"Man Bao, where did you get so many peonies?"

Man Bao said: "I bought it."

She looked among the three pots of good flowers, and finally hugged Er Qiao, who had the most eyes on her husband, "Sir, this pot is for you."

Mr. Zhuang looked down at her, seeing her clear eyes full of sincerity, he smiled slightly and said to Bai Erlang: "Move to my study."

Bai Erlang hurried to move the pot of Erqiao. Mr. Zhuang looked at Manbao for a while, then turned around and went to the study, not asking about it anymore.

Zhou Zhou Lang gave Man Bao a thumbs up, "Man Bao, you are really good, you can even buy Mr.

Man Bao: "...I'm not trying to bribe you, I just want to give it to you."

Zhou Zhou Lang didn't believe it, but Bai Shan believed it. He looked at the white peonies in the other two wooden boxes, and at the two unique pots of Yao Huang Wei Zi on the other side, and vaguely understood what Man Bao was going to do.

However, Zhou Zhoulang was immersed in the sea of ​​money for flowers, and happily asked, "Man Bao, I will sell flowers tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I will be able to sell the flowers. How much does the white peony sell? Six hundred taels?"

"No, white peony sells for sixteen taels."

Zhou Zhoulang: "Huh?"

Bai Shandao: "Things are rare and expensive. When there is only one pot of white peonies in Yizhou City, you can ask for 800 taels. If Man Bao takes out another pot to sell, you can only ask for 600 taels. Brother Zhou, what will you do?" Ermanbao brought back twenty pots in one go, how much do you think this flower can be called?"

Zhou Zhoulang: "...Well, it shouldn't be called sixteen taels, right? The difference between sixteen taels and six hundred taels is too great."

Bai Shandao: "Because the steward of Yizhou Palace only gave you sixteen taels of silver this morning."

Man Bao nodded, "That's right!"

Zhou Zhoulang stared, "So you are fighting against the Yizhou Palace?"

"No!" Man Bao gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just a commoner now, and I can't fight against a prince's mansion, but I can still fight against a servant of the prince's mansion."

She snorted and said, "Today's suffering will be paid back in the future, and even greater suffering will be paid back in the coming year!"

Zhou Zhoulang said with a serious face: "Man Bao, let's be more arrogant, why are you angry with this servant? Take what he said as the wind blowing, don't take it to heart."

Zhou Lijun said: "I support my sister-in-law."

Zhou Zhou Lang shook his head, "You guys are just too young, too young and energetic."

"Fourth Uncle, are you reluctant to part with money?" Zhou Lijun poked at him.

Zhou Zhoulang coughed lightly and said, "No, you guys can't be too angry. I'll let San'er and the others keep an eye on him. How about waiting for him to be beaten with a sack someday?"

He whispered: "Take revenge on him with flowers, isn't that cheating our own money?"

Man Bao said: "I have already bought the flowers, do you know how to look at them if you stay at home?"

She said: "A sword matches a hero, and a good horse matches a general. This beautiful flower must be raised by someone who knows how to appreciate it. Fourth brother, don't worry about it. I've already decided on a buyer. You'll be waiting at the door tomorrow." Money is fine."

Zhou Zhou Lang asked, "Who is it?"

Man Bao snorted and said, "Naturally they are a group of people who can afford it."

She went to the study to bring out painting tools, and said to Bai Shan: "You are the best at painting, and I have to ask you to paint a portrait of these two potted flowers."

Bai Shan rolled up his sleeves and said, "No problem."

After the finished painting, Manbao took it directly, and then moved all the flowers out of the box, and took care of it according to the precautions given by the seller.

The next day, Man Bao went to the pharmacy, went out with Doctor Ji to see two patients, asked about Yao Nong, and went home to class after still having no news.

Zhou Zhoulang, who had been staying at home all the time, saw her and immediately went up to her and asked, "Why are you still going to the pharmacy? Aren't you going out to sell flowers?"

"Fourth brother, I was wrong last time. I think this time we shouldn't come to the door by ourselves, we have to let others come to the door."

Zhou Zhoulang was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Then, how did he come to you?"

Man Bao waved his little hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll do this after class, you can go out and work at ease."
