Chapter 117 Lan Shi Poetry

Chapter 110 Eight Lanshi Poetry
Song Mei is of high grade but not arrogant, with higher buds and magical changes in flower type: those with short and strong orchid leaves often bloom typical plum petal flowers, and those with strong plants can bloom double flowers in one scape, and the flower type is plum-shaped Narcissus petals, which have been popular for 200 years, have been selected as the top of the traditional Chunlan varieties in both China and Japan.

Xiao Minggui was very proud: "Don't look at my brother's short and stocky Songmei plum, but it is also a double-flowered plum-shaped narcissus petal. Let me tell you, this is a good product that has been bred for more than 30 years without divisions. My brother took over halfway back then. I picked up a treasure, one hundred and fifty for you five."

Si Xingzhun said beside him: "Seeing that you speak so loudly, I thought it was expensive, and it's only less than a thousand!"

Xiao Minggui rolled his eyes and said: "I know you, you are the one who bought jade claws with plain borders. Now the orchids that are easy to win prizes and expensive are all new products from Qilan. That's because the varieties are scarce and easy to form a monopoly, and then they are constantly changing hands. Only by raising the price while beating drums and spreading flowers can we reach that price.”

"True people who love orchids generally start with traditional varieties. Now there are too many traditional varieties of hybrid grasses and tissue culture grasses. It only costs 20 yuan and [-] yuan a plant on Taobao. Those who have bitten their teeth say they are old. Zhong Songmei, the question is how credible is it?"

"There are very few authentic old breeds like me who can watch the potting with their own eyes. Although the price will not be very high, the supply will be in short supply once they are sold."

Li Junge said with a smile: "That is, the price of the old-fashioned old breed is my brother's favor. You want to block my mouth like this, so I'm sorry to ask for all the breeds, right?"

Xiao Minggui's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said, "You bastard! You can continue to be good friends only if you see through and don't tell the truth!"

Everyone laughed, Li Junge said again: "The name of Jiyuan is also good, and the flowers are also elegant. I will choose another pot of Jiyuan."

Jiyuan was excavated by a wandering eminent monk at the end of the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. In the second year of Xianfeng, Zhang Shenglin, Yuyao, Zhejiang obtained this flower. Because the confluence of the outer three petals formed a spherical surface, it was named Jiyuan, also known as "ten circles" or "ten circles". Old ten yuan".

The round leaf shape is quite similar to Song Mei, and the flowering period is a few days later than Song Mei. The flower appearance is upright and beautiful, and the flower shape often changes steadily. Usually it is plum petals, and sometimes it also has plum-shaped narcissus petals, and even the flower stems are red. The difference between stalks and green stalks.

The round flower shape is also very similar to Song Mei, but it is not difficult to distinguish as long as you grasp three points: one is that the top section of the flower stem is still purple-red, unlike Song Mei's top section that turns green; Songmei is slightly longer, and the base is assembled into a spherical shape; the third is that the lips are small bangs, which are obviously smaller than Songmei's lips.

Jiyuan grows vigorously and reproduces quickly. It is the most widely spread variety among the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Chunlan, so the price is not expensive, and five seedlings only cost one hundred yuan.

Si Xingzhun continued to curl his lips, the more the two skins are bought, the cheaper they are.

But Xiao Minggui said: "Old Shiyuan, it's really good to give the old man a lottery. I don't feel embarrassed to accept money for a hundred yuan. Let me support your respect for teachers and morals."

Li Junge did not flirt with Xiao Minggui, and said, "Thank you very much. By the way, I still have to prepare orchid pots, so I don't need the cultivation soil. The forest behind my Lijiagou is full of original humus."

Xiao Minggui took everyone outside to look at the pots.

Li Junge was not satisfied after seeing it, thinking it was too small.

Xiao Minggui asked: "Erpi, what are you going to do? There are five grasses in total. If you make a big pot, it won't look good if it's out of proportion!"

Li Junge said: "My mentor actually likes the stones I picked up in Lijiagou. I plan to buy them as bonsai and give them to them. Banqiao said: 'It's worthless to paint more spring breeze, a branch of green jade is half a branch of beauty'."

The combination of blue and stone is also very particular. I plan to match the stone to be bigger than the orchid grass, highlighting the word "Yin Yin". Do you think how big this pot is? "

Xiao Minggui smashed his mouth and said, "Yes, then I will accompany you to the flower and bird market!"

Li Junge said to Liangzi and Li Hanqiu: "This pot is up to you. You first estimate the size of the five seedlings, then estimate the size of the stone, and finally determine the size of the pot."

Li Hanqiu saw a Ming-style book case by the wall, and it was complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so he went directly to pour some ink, brushed a few strokes and drew a small sample, and said to Li Junge: "Erpi brother, is that what you mean?"

A group of people went over and saw that the painting on the paper was a picture of orchids and stones with basins.

Si Xingzhun's palms were red with slaps, and he applauded loudly there.

Li Junge rolled his eyes, this Erzhuan probably didn't know how to paint at all, as long as it was Qiu girl's handwriting, he would know how to applaud.

Xiao Minggui said: "Tsk tsk tsk, this painting is magnificent, it can't be seen that it is a little girl's handwriting, and the strokes are all in line with the French style."

Li Junge introduced to Liangzi: "Girl Liangzi, this Chinese painting is somewhat different from your Japanese Ukiyo-e paintings. It uses calligraphy as a painting, and pays attention to a literati atmosphere. Look at the orchid leaves and stones of Qiu girl, and the brushstrokes are not far from the dots and strokes in calligraphy. Nah, the so-called 'dancing with shackles', is the truth."

Xiao Minggui was overjoyed, and said: "Come on, girl Qiu, right? Write a few words to my brother, and I'll frame them and hang them in the orchid room."

Li Hanqiu looked distressed, and said: "I don't know how to write ancient style poems, this really stumps me."

Li Junge pondered for a moment, then said: "In this way, you can write 'Thin leaves are supported to reach the stones, the sparse fragrance is light and the shadow is elegant and hard to cut, the god of poetry is long silent and the fragrance is cold, and the jade soul and ice soul can't guess.'"

Xiao Minggui showed surprise: "Brother, do you know this? Is this a family lesson?"

Li Junge laughed loudly, and said, "Don't dare to show off at home, these two drops of ink will be sucked to death by fourth grandfather."

Li Hanqiu brushed a few strokes, and a few lines of running script in yellow font appeared vividly on the paper.

Xiao Minggui said: "You have opened your eyes. My brother has really opened his eyes today. No wonder your Shanghe Li family is everywhere in the county annals. You should keep a low profile when you go to Lijiagou in the future."

Li Junge said: "Young girl Qiu is not from my Shanghe Li family. By the way, girl Qiu, where did you learn calligraphy and painting?"

Li Hanqiu said shyly: "Fourth grandpa sees that I like to play with this, and has guided me for a while, for four, oh no, for five years."

Li Junge sighed and said: "Oh, I haven't learned this hand, only a few Yan Kai characters are passable, but cursive is not good."

Si Xingzhun is looking for a sense of presence again: "I said that Qiu girl is a beautiful figure in Lijiagou every 50 years, and it really is!"

Li Junge rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to argue with him, and said, "Let's use a ruler to measure the ratio, and figure out the approximate size of the basin we should buy."

After working for a while, everyone moved to the flower and bird market.

The flower and bird market opens on Wednesdays and Sundays, and it is very deserted now, only some shops are still open, selling fish, dogs, and flowers.

When I came to a shop selling flowerpots, the owner was very familiar with Xiao Minggui. Under the guidance of Liangzi and Li Hanqiu, Li Junge chose two purple clay pots of suitable size.

I was walking out of the market with a pot in my arms, but I saw a man dressed as an old farmer by the side of the market, with a bamboo dustpan in front of him, on which were piled a lot of orchids, the roots were covered with moss, wrapped in leaves, piled one by one. The pile of yards is placed there.

"Huh? The market isn't open today, why are there still people selling bluegrass?" Li Junge asked in surprise.

Xiao Minggui glanced at him, and said contemptuously: "That's right, this old man dare not come when the market opens, but he has to come to sell orchids at such a time."

"Huh? What is this saying?" Li Junge was even more strange.

Xiao Minggui said: "Go over and see, don't you know?"

Everyone walked over and surrounded the people dressed as old farmers to watch.

That person also knew Xiao Minggui, and when he saw him approaching, he couldn't help but yelled from a distance: "Mr. Xiao, you have to use your eyesight when playing Lan, you don't want to be provocative!"

Li Junge laughed secretly when he heard it, it seems that this is another connoisseur who has been caught by Xiao Minggui and others for a long time.

Xiao Minggui was also impatient, and waved his hand and said: "Fuck you, the person next to me may not look young, but an expert, even if I don't tell you, you can't fool him, come here, let me see yours Is there any progress in the method?"

The man couldn't hold back any more, and said: "You go, you go, snakes have snakes, cats have cats, I sell my own orchids, and people are willing to buy them, and it doesn't hinder you!"

Xiao Minggui said: "You can't sell things without letting people see them. Wouldn't that be blind buying and selling? What if my brother likes it?" After speaking, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Junge raised his head and asked, "How do you sell these orchids?"

Everyone, including the flower seller, was shocked. What's going on with this dude?The conversation between the two of them was so clear and clear, why did he still jump into the pit with his eyes closed?

The man froze for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his ears, Xiao Minggui was even more shocked, and said: "My brother, you can't do this! If the people from the Lanxie know that I brought you to buy orchids from him , you can’t laugh at me to death, you can’t cheat brother like this!”

But the man rolled his eyes and said, "Little brother, which bundle do you like? Let me tell you, this is a serious Xiashan orchid. Maybe whichever plant is cultivated well will be a famous product. Take it to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and it will be a big name!"

Li Junge laughed loudly and said, "Brother, you are joking. Did you come down from the rockery of the bonsai at home? The root is still lumpy. If you say that the moss and leaves came down from the mountain, I would believe it."

What he said made Si Xingzhun and Xiao Minggui laugh out loud, and Liangzi and Li Hanqiu also pursed their lips in joy.

The man's face was as red as a pig's liver, his mouth remained firm, and he said, "I dug it out of a stone nest, can't I?"

Li Junge said again: "The leaves dug out from the stone nest are still waxed? The stone nest behind the 4S store?"

Si Xingzhun was drinking mineral water, he couldn't hold back when he heard the words, and couldn't help but spit it out with a "poof".

The water droplets splashed onto the man's orchid grass, but they really couldn't catch them.

The man's face was like the water drops on the orchid grass, he couldn't hold it anymore, and said angrily, "If you don't buy it, leave, what kind of trouble is it!"

Li Junge was not angry either, and said in surprise, "I didn't say I wouldn't buy it. I asked you how you sold it, but you kept talking nonsense and didn't ask for a price."
