Chapter 342 No flower will die in confusion
Da Zhuang took the Litsea cubeba oil and carefully dripped a drop into each of the four bowls, then scooped a spoonful of sour soup for each of the four people.
Zhao Xiaojing, who had smelled the scent of Litsea cubeba oil, took a sip with curiosity and resistance, and found that the taste was beyond her imagination.
When she smelled it alone, the smell went straight to the top of her head. It was like a pungent gas, and her whole brain felt numb. She immediately gave up the idea of adding it.
As a result, the soup tasted quite fragrant after adding it. The sour taste of the soup became a little stronger, and there was a slight numbing feeling similar to that brought by lemon peel, followed by the freshness of mint leaves.
"It's delicious! It opens the door to a new world!"
"This taste is really magical. Why does it taste a bit like basil leaves?"
"Like a mixture of mint and lemon, a little cooling and a little refreshing?"
Seeing that the other three people also adapted well to the new taste, Zhao Xiaojing simply picked up the Litsea cubeba oil, added a little directly into the soup based on the taste she had just tasted. After adjusting the taste, she added a plate of beef on the side.
"Old Guo, why did you go to Yunnan to send flowers again without telling me?"
While waiting for the beef to be cooked, Su Yuchen took the initiative to start this fight.
Zhao Xiaojing and Wan Yuyue put down their chopsticks at the same time, and Yun Yongyuan also sat up straight, looking like he was listening to gossip.
The three of them had wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but seeing that the person involved was quite calm, they were too embarrassed to ask directly, so they had been holding it in until now.
"Oh, yes! Didn't we go to Guizhou before the New Year to take photos of the relative who owns a snack bar? We were there for about three or four days. After we came back, we started editing. We kept editing and editing, but we always felt that there was something missing in the material. We went back a few days ago to make up for it. But if we only shoot this one video, we may not get much traffic after editing. The trip for the three of us was not worth it, so we thought about shooting something else.
It just so happened that Dazhuang had a friend in Yunnan Province, which was just over two hours away from the place in Gui Province where we were going. Dazhuang suggested that we go over there and say that the flower market that his friend had taken us to before was very interesting, so we went to see if we could take some photos. I have to say! It really opened my eyes. These were the ones we bought at the auction at the flower market! It was the first time in my life, haha! "
"Oh, so that's how it is~~" Su Yuchen didn't care about his curiosity and stretched out the syllables, glancing back and forth at the faces of Zhao Xiaojing and the other two.
"...Auction? How can flowers be auctioned?" Zhao Xiaojing and the other two looked away and did not meet Su Yuchen's gaze.
"That's why Lao Guo said it was an eye-opener. I also knew it for the first time! Let me tell you, the flower market over there is simply a complete closed-loop industrial chain!" Li Zi did not notice the eye contact between the three people in the dark, and excitedly took over Guo Gaoang's words and continued.
"We haven't found the right person to contact us about the flower growers yet, so let's talk about the flower merchants. After the flower merchants transport the flowers to the market, they first sort the flowers into different grades, and then go to the electronic auction center of the flower market. The auction center there is just like a stock exchange, and it is divided into large and retail areas!"
"Haha, why are you buying funds just like me? Then you must be retail investors, right?" Su Yuchen turned around and was attracted by Li Zi's words. He temporarily let the three people go and asked with interest.
"Yes, that auction center is world-class, and each transaction is completed within about 4 seconds. Each person in the large and retail areas has a computer, and the auction orders are placed on the computer. Rare flowers are usually uploaded to the auction center first, and only after they fail to sell at the auction center will they be sold in the retail area together with ordinary flowers." Guo Gaoang said.
"Then in the process of selling in the retail area, the flower owner will pick out the flowers with poor appearance and condition according to the condition of the flowers and eliminate them. Then they will be transported to the landfill. After being transported to the landfill, small vendors will come to pick up the flowers, usually some uncles and aunts. After picking up the flowers, the uncles and aunts will screen the flowers again. The ones in good condition will be sold directly outside the flower market, and the ones in poor condition will be made into wreaths and sold. Usually these flowers are very cheap, and the price is what tourists will buy at first sight." Da Zhuang continued to explain.
"Yes! On the day I arrived, I was so excited when I saw such a big bouquet of the best flowers for only five dollars, but was stopped by Dazhuang. Later I learned that those flowers were picked up and would not live for more than a week after they were bought. It was even more exaggerated at night. Three bouquets of cappuccino for ten dollars, and even foreign peonies were out! Isn't it outrageous?" Li Zi compared the size of the bouquets with her hands, shook her head and laughed.
"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous." Su Yuchen was shocked.
"It's really a complete industrial chain. Picking flowers can support a lot of people." Zhao Xiaojing exclaimed.
"In the end, they were made into a wreath, and not a single flower withered." Wan Yuyue was deeply impressed.
"Yes, you don't know, that wreath is so beautiful. Even though it's picked flowers, there are so many people buying it, and it's also five dollars a piece!"
"We two men are indifferent. When Li Zi got there, her eyes almost popped out of her head! I tried to pull her away but she almost scolded me to death." Da Zhuang complained.
"Haha, what's the starting bid at the auction center? You guys bid a lot, right?"
"There is no set minimum bid, but we did bid a lot because each bid is for a batch, and a batch is a small flower cart. We took turns bidding for several rounds, and this time we have enough materials." Da Zhuang said.
"I didn't expect that the travel and accommodation expenses for shooting a video were not beyond my expectations, but I ended up buying too much flowers. My mother scolded me when I sent them home, so I gave some to each of my relatives." Guo Gaoang smacked his lips. "They were smart. They spent more on postage and sent the flowers in batches. In the end, my family praised the flowers for being good."
The misunderstanding was completely resolved, and Su Yuchen smiled even more narrowly as he looked at Zhao Xiaojing and the other two.
"Then why did you write Mr. Shi?" Wan Yuyue made a final struggle unwillingly.
"That was written by Da Zhuang. He sent all your gifts. He bought the most."
"Then why did you write about Mr. Shi?" Wan Yuyue asked Dazhuang again.
"My last name is Shi... I didn't want to reveal my personal information, so I just wrote my last name. What's wrong with that?" Da Zhuang looked innocent.
"…It's nothing. There's just a huge contrast between your two names." Wan Yuyue was speechless.
"Da Zhuang's nickname is Ranran! Isn't the contrast even stronger?" Guo Gaoang grinned.
Da Zhuang held his forehead with his hand with a helpless look on his face, "I knew you wouldn't let me go!"
"It's not Lao Guo's fault. Who made your name so unrealistic?" Li Zi also laughed evilly. "Da Zhuang's name is actually Shi Qiran. We only found out about this recently. Does it have nothing to do with the name Da Zhuang?"
“No wonder you didn’t write your full name. If you had written your full name, I would have thought you were a girl.” Yun Yongyuan said blankly.
