Chapter 967: Killing Life
Xiaoshu was a little puzzled. "Old Tang's group has quite a few people, and is even bigger than this group. How come they can live well here without encountering any problems, but they can't?"
Er Pang said, "How do you know they didn't encounter any trouble? They just didn't tell you. Besides, Old Tang and his friends have a master to rely on, but who can these people rely on? If they don't have anyone to rely on, they can only rely on themselves."
Xiaoshu nodded.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You guys know a lot, you know everything."
The old man looked at them and said, "You all have so many mouths, just like women. Be careful that your wives will be despised when you get married in the future."
When I arrived at the door of my house, before I entered the yard, I heard a lot of chirping, clattering, clattering noises coming from inside, which was very noisy.
Pushing the door open and entering, they saw Dashu, who was covered in hair, killing and plucking ducks in the yard. When he saw them coming back, his eyes lit up, "Master, sir, you are finally back. I have killed more than 20 ducks, and there are more than 90 waiting for you to come back and kill."
Zhou Guo: “…”
After looking at the sky, he said to the old man, "Master, I remembered that I still have a lot of seasonings to buy, and I have to go buy some other dishes. Do you want to go?"
The old man nodded, "Well, I'll go with you."
Pointing at Erpang and Xiaoshu, he said, "You two shouldn't go. Help kill the ducks at home."
The two could only watch them leave.
Dashu said excitedly: "Come on, what are you standing there for? There is hot water in the kitchen, and I have a few dead ducks that haven't been plucked yet. It's actually quite fast."
Er Pang said, "Why don't you ask for help? You can call the neighbors over and give them a few cents for each duck. These ducks can be dealt with quickly. There are still eighty or ninety ducks. With only a few of us, we can't finish plucking them even if our hands are sore."
On the other side, Zhou Guo and the old man parted ways. The old man went to the night market to buy some vegetables, while Zhou Guo went to buy some seasonings.
A lot of seasonings have to be bought at the pharmacy, which has a relatively complete range of ingredients, so she bought a big bag.
I carried these things out, and seeing that it was still early, I didn't want to go back to pluck the duck feathers at this time, so I thought of just taking a walk.
I don't know how I ended up at the flower and tree shop.
There are only three shops selling flowers and trees on this street. The first one is not big, with only two rooms, but it has many flowers and trees.
There are many varieties of camellia, orchids, and wintersweets. Zhou Guo also saw daffodils. It is winter now, and there are many flowers in bloom.
The shopkeeper saw her come in and stepped forward with a smile, "Sir, what kind of flowers would you like? How about I recommend some to you?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "Okay, I don't know Hua either, you tell me."
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, pointing to a bright red camellia that had just blossomed and said, "Look at this one, it's the most valuable camellia in the store, it has large flowers and thick petals, commonly known as the six-cornered red, which means it is growing well. It is the most valuable variety of camellia, and it is worthy of your status."
"Six-cornered red?" Zhou Guo's eyebrows jumped, and he pointed at the petals and said, "Where are the six corners? Can you show me?"
The shopkeeper was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's just a name. Sir, you don't have to be so serious. Although it's not hexagonal, it's also double-petaled. It's named for good luck."
Then he pointed to the narcissus in full bloom on the other side and said, "Since you don't like camellia, this pot of flowers is fine. It has a strong fragrance and it's the best to put it in the house as the New Year is coming."
Zhou Guo saw that the pot of flowers was indeed blooming beautifully. The key was that the daffodils did not take up space, so he could take them away when he left, or even tie them in the carriage.
Asked: "How much is this pot of flowers?"
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said, "It's not expensive, only six strings of cash."
Zhou Guo: "...You want me to pay you six strings of cash for a pot of daffodils? Did your daffodils absorb the aura from the mountain of Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
The shopkeeper's smile froze. "Sir, do you know narcissus? Isn't it the end of the year? Everything has gone up in price, but flowers are in season right now, so this price is not expensive."
Zhou Guo glanced at him with a smile, turned around and walked out.
The shopkeeper shouted quickly, "Young Master, don't leave so quickly. I'll give you a cheaper price. There are many other flowers in the shop. The wintersweet is in full bloom. I guarantee you'll like it."
After saying that, seeing that Zhou Guo did not stop, he reached out to grab him.
He was so bold because he saw that Zhou Guo was from another place.
Zhou Guo stopped and glanced at him. Just this glance made the shopkeeper speechless, and he retracted his outstretched hand. He couldn't utter a word for a long time.
What kind of look was that? It was as if he would be chopped into meat sauce if he said one more word.
Seeing that he finally shut up, Zhou Guo withdrew his gaze and went out. This shabby little shop was charging too much. A pot of daffodils was sold for six strings of coins. In the north, a pot of daffodils would only cost three or four hundred coins at most during the New Year.
Liu Guan, does she look like a sucker?
Go out, turn left, walk diagonally across, and you will come to another shop.
This shop is much more practical and bigger. A pot of top-quality daffodils costs more than 200 wen, which is much more normal! !
Zhou Guo was very satisfied. She picked one pot and then took a fancy to a pot of wintersweet. The branches were vigorous and the flower looked ancient and simple. She fell in love with it at first sight.
The shopkeeper said honestly, "Sir, this pot of wintersweet is the treasure of our shop. It is not easily sold."
Zhou Guo nodded and said, "Go ahead."
The shopkeeper had no choice but to say, "Eighty strings of cash!"
Zhou Guo thought it was okay. She thought it would cost 300 guan. "80 guan?"
Seeing that she really wanted to buy it, the shopkeeper said readily, "If you really want it, it means that this flower is meant for you."
Zhou Guo nodded. There was nothing in this small courtyard now, so he had to add some flowers and trees to add some liveliness to the New Year.
He walked around the shop again, "Let me see what else you have in your shop."
Some of the ones here are also available in the one we just started looking at.
The shopkeeper said, "Master, we have a shed in the backyard with some peonies and chrysanthemums. Would you like to take a look?"
Zhou Guo readily agreed and asked, "It's not cheap to build a shed, right?"
The shopkeeper nodded as he walked, "Yes, but it's the end of the year, and there are always people who come to buy flowers to liven up their families. Flowers like peonies and chrysanthemums are easy to sell. Although they are not cheap, they are not much of a loss. After all, there are many varieties, which can bring a lot of business to the store."
If you listen carefully, you won't lose a lot, then you will make some money.
This shed is not big, and there are many varieties of peonies, many camellias, and even water lilies, which are good things.
I thought to myself, no wonder this side is much bigger than that side. In such a small county town, the flower shop has only four rooms, making it the largest flower shop on this street.
However, she didn't want the lotus.
I have seen a lot of lotus flowers in recent years, so they are not so rare anymore.
It would be better to buy a few pots of camellia.
Walking inside from the beginning, she saw many flowers and trees that had not bloomed and only had branches left.
Suddenly, I saw two strange potted plants in a small corner.
There are no leaves on it, and only bare branches are left. The key point is that the branch is not big, just thicker than chopsticks, but it looks familiar.
