Almighty Dad - Chapter 127

The days are neither salty nor dull, and with the cultivation nutrient solution, the flowers in the vegetable garden grow lush and lush.

Apart from teaching a few children to read, Han Ze spent the rest of his time on cultivating flowers. Even the vegetables in the vegetable garden were also used by him to cultivate nutrient solution. Vegetables such as peppers, pickled cucumbers, pumpkins, and eggplants were hung up early. The fruits are fruitful, and they are very gratifying, making Ge Hongbu and Wang Lanhua very puzzled. The method of growing vegetables is the same as in previous years. Why are the vegetables growing so well this year? Bear so much fruit?

Han Ze let them wonder and didn’t explain. He really couldn’t hide it. He just said that maybe the flowers were planted in the vegetable garden, which affected Feng Shui, so the vegetables grew so well?

Ge Hongbu and Wang Lanhua only thought he was talking nonsense, and of course Han Ze was also talking nonsense.

In April, dozens of pots of peonies are all in bloom, and each pot has more than ten or twenty flowers. The peonies with the mouth of a bowl are clustered together, looking graceful, luxurious, dignified, and very beautiful.

Since his son started planting flowers, Han Maode would go for a walk in the vegetable garden behind the house several times a day. After all, his son bought so many flower pots and flower seedlings and spent so much money on them. If the flowers were ruined, he would be very distressed .

He didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until the peony bloomed. After all, I still feel that my son’s planting flowers is a bit unreliable. Although Han Ze told him that he read the book, hasn’t he never planted flowers? There is always more to worry about the first time.

But he only watched the excitement, and only knew that the flowers looked beautiful, red, yellow, white, in many colors, and there was even a pot with black flowers, but he didn’t know the varieties of those flowers and their preciousness.

Han Maode didn’t understand the species of peony, but Han Ze checked the books on purpose. Although there was a cultivation nutrient solution, he was very surprised. He actually cultivated a pot of black peony. The purple-black peony exudes a faint color, giving people a feeling With a sense of mystery, this rare peony can often be surprisingly successful, and can be sold at a high price.

Han Maode said with a smile: “This flower is still red and beautiful, and it is festive just looking at it.”

Han Ze explained to him with a smile: “This pot of red peonies is also called shameful purple, that pot is Yao Huang, and this pot of black peonies are all treasures among peonies, especially black peonies are the rarest.”

Han Maode really didn’t understand these things, he stared blankly at his son: “Then how much money is this worth?”

Han Ze shook his head, he didn’t send it to the market, and he didn’t know how much silver he should sell. After thinking for a while, he said, “If someone in the town offers a starting price, I’ll sell it. If not, I plan to sell these flowers in the county. “

Han Maode smiled and said: “You can figure out these things. I have never raised flowers in my life, so I don’t understand those things.”

Han Ze just told him to save him from worrying.

On the second day, Han Ze took a few pots of flowers to the town. Instead of going to the flower market, he went to the home of his classmates in the town.

This classmate’s surname was Yu, and his first name was Anzhi. Yu Anzhi’s family was a merchant more than ten years ago. This dynasty allowed merchants to participate in the imperial examination. Yu Anzhi’s elder brother passed the imperial examination and became a second-list Jinshi.

Yu Anzhi couldn’t read well, so he ran his business at home. The original body has a normal relationship with him, and he has no relationship since he didn’t study. Han Ze came to the door with the intention of giving it a try. When he arrived at Yu’s house, he knocked on the door. The concierge asked why. Go report.

Yu Anzhi didn’t go out, and was surprised to hear a classmate visiting, but he was a businessman after all, so he didn’t offend anyone easily, so he greeted him in person, and when he saw that it was Han Ze, he smiled calmly and said, “Brother Han, you are such a rare visitor.” , how have you always been?”

Han Ze replied with a smile. He didn’t exchange many pleasantries. With the relationship between the two of them, he didn’t like to exchange pleasantries. He directly pointed out the purpose of his visit: “I have nothing to do these days, and I planted some flowers. I usually heard about them in school. Brother Yu liked this way, so he used a ox cart to reward Brother Yu with a few pots.”

Yu Anzhi was a little disapproving. Although he didn’t have much contact with Han Ze, he still knew him well. A farm boy, although his family has a little production, is still a farm boy. What precious flowers can he grow? Even so, the smile on his face did not change: “Oh, what flower is it?”

Han Ze also knew that it would be rude to come to the door hastily, but the original body has no interpersonal relationship, and this classmate’s family has some influence. Although the relationship between the two is estranged, as long as his flowers are unusual, there is nothing to worry about. He smiled. Pulling back the curtain covering the flower pot, he said, “Brother Yu, you can tell when you see it.”

Yu Anzhi saw how mysterious he was, so he leaned his head over to take a look, gasped, and pointed at the flower with a trembling finger: “This is shameful purple, is that Yaohuang? Then, that pot is actually a black peony?”

Han Ze waited for him to recover, and asked with a smile, “How? Can this flower still catch Brother Yu’s eyes?”

Yu Anzhi took a deep breath, looked at Han Ze, and said with a wry smile, “Brother Han, are you kidding me?”

It’s more than just being in his eyes, it’s too much in his eyes.

Han Ze smiled lightly and said, “No, no.”

Yu Anzhi calmed down and said, “Brother Han came to the door today, I’m afraid it’s not as simple as letting me admire the flowers?”

Han Ze smiled again, and said, “I’m a philistine. I was lucky enough to raise a few potted flowers, but I didn’t know how to appreciate them, so I wanted to exchange them for some money for home use. I’ll leave these flowers to those noble people who know how to cherish them. I’ll come to bother you today. I just want to ask Brother Yu, is there anyone who knows Xihua?”

Yu Anzhi stared at him with wide eyes: “Are you really willing to sell this flower?”

Han Ze nodded solemnly.

Yu Anzhi looked and looked around the pots of flowers, then looked at Han Ze and said, “Brother Han, to be honest, my elder brother wrote to me a few days ago asking me to find some pots of precious flowers for him. I bought a few pots for a few days, but I was not satisfied. After seeing these pots of flowers today, I don’t think I need to look any further. Brother Han, if you want, can you sell them to me?”

Han Ze smiled and said, “It’s good to be able to help Brother Yu.”

Yu Anzhi clapped his hands violently: “It’s very helpful to me.”

What he didn’t say was that his eldest brother Shangfeng’s mother loved peonies, and her birthday would be in a few days, these pots of peonies came at the right time, especially the pot of shameful purple, which was the most suitable.

Yu Anzhi looked at Han Ze and said hesitantly, “If these potted flowers are sold in the capital, the price will be higher…”

Han Ze said indifferently: “Brother Yu can take as much money as he thinks, I believe Brother Yu will not cheat me.”

Yu Anzhi shook his head amusedly. This kid is really cunning. If he said that he would not cheat him, how could he ask for a price?

After thinking for a while, he said: “That pot of black peony is the most rare. I have only heard of its name before, but I have never seen it before.”

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: “I heard that people like peonies today, especially black peonies. A few years ago, Wang Shangshu used 1,000 taels of silver to find a pot of black peonies and presented them to the palace. Shang Shu, the price of the black peony has increased a lot, and it has only dropped a little in the past few years, how about this, I also bought your pot of peony for one thousand taels of silver, how about it?”

There is nothing wrong with Han Ze, he smiled and said, “Yes.”

The price is not low, this classmate Yu is considered kind, and we can come and go in the future.

Han Ze was driving an ox cart with more than one thousand taels of silver bills in his pocket, thinking that he hadn’t seen his son for a few days, so he planned to visit him.

Han Shubo has grown a lot these days, his clothes are obviously smaller, and the grapefruits are even shorter.

Han Ze frowned. He was busy planting flowers all day, but he didn’t pay attention to the child’s clothes. Ge Hongbu didn’t even mention this to him.

Seeing his father frowning, Han Shubo asked, “Father, what’s the matter?”

Han Ze frowned: “Your clothes are getting too small, why didn’t you tell us? Dad can ask your mother to prepare clothes for you.”

Han Shubo said indifferently: “It’s just a little small, and I can still wear it.”

The clothes have not been made for a long time, and they are still new, without patches, but they are a little too small, so why can’t they be worn? Even Han Jixue and Han Jiwen’s clothes were patched. Compared with them, he was already very happy.

Han Ze patted his head: “As long as you are good at studying, the money for food, clothes and flowers can be afforded by Dad, and there is no need for the book fair to save money for Dad.”

This child is not only smart, but also very sensible. The hardships in childhood did not make him extreme. He was used to the warmth and coldness of people, but made him more stable and mature than children of the same age.

Han Shubo frowned: “What should be saved is what should be saved. I have five older sisters, so I have to prepare five dowries, and I need to spend a lot of money. I don’t care about that much as long as the clothes can be worn.”

Han Ze smiled, “Children, don’t think too much. Dad has to worry about these things. Your sisters’ dowry will not be small. Even your two aunts’ dowry, Dad has prepared it for them.”

Han Shubo was still not persuaded: “Father, how hard is it for you to earn so much dowry? It’s better to be frugal, how about this, I will eat third-class food from now on?”

Han Ze raised his forehead, why is this kid so stubborn, took his hand, and walked aside: “Do you know that Dad is growing flowers?”

Han Shubo nodded: “I know.”

Han Ze said again: “Then do you know how much money Dad sold for a pot of flowers?”

Han Shubo shook his head: “One thousand taels of silver.”

Han Shubo’s eyes widened, he still knew how much a thousand taels of silver was, his mouth opened wide, “Really, really?”

Han Ze nodded with a smile, and patted his little head: “Little idiot, you can’t read dead books, we must know how to be flexible, in Dad’s opinion, money is not saved, but earned, even if there is no money at home. If you earn money, dad can also figure out a way to earn money, which will allow you to eat and dress well, so you don’t have to spend money to save money.”

Han Shubo raised his head and looked at him: “But what if in the future I don’t have the ability to earn money, but develop the habit of spending money?”

Han Ze looked at him: “Could it be that Shubo doesn’t have confidence in himself? Don’t believe that he can be a scholar, a scholar, a Jinshi, and become a high official in the future?”

Han Shubo lowered his head and thought for a while: “I believe in myself, but an official cannot be a corrupt official.”

Han Ze said: “What do you mean, if you don’t become a corrupt official, your salary is not much, and you still won’t be able to earn much money?”

Han Shubo nodded his head, that’s what he meant.

Han Ze was amused: “Shubo can think so long-term now. Thinking about it, I will definitely not become a corrupt official in the future. Besides, Dad knows you well and knows that you will not develop the habit of spending money.”

Han Shubo smiled.

Han Shubo pinched his face and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, even if the salary given by the imperial court is not much, it will not be too little. It must be enough to support your family. Besides, you are so smart, I believe you will definitely find a way to earn a living.” Silver.”

Han Shubo looked at him in distress. He still has some confidence in studying, but can he earn money? He really has no confidence.
