Chapter 107 The choice of fish and bear's paw (kneeling)(1/2)
Lao Liu, who had difficulty choosing again, looked inadvertently on the desk, with a few things on it, including those things that were given to him when he returned to the inn from Tianqu to the inn and was a guest at Dunzhu Zhuoma's house.
One of them made Lao Liu's eyes lit up.
Those are a few dried but well-preserved snow lotus flowers!
"Why did you forget this thing? This thing is also of great value!"
There is no exact price for real wild snow lotus now. Some say hundreds of dollars per gram, while others say thousands of dollars per gram...
Because snow lotus, a flower with the title of "God's Flower" is the closest flower to the sky, it is now a national second-level protected plant, and it is strictly forbidden to collect it.
Therefore, almost all the so-called wild snow lotus seen on the market are artificially grown.
Well, the wild snow lotus that were stolen dare not appear in the real medicine market in a panic...
Yes, snow lotus can be planted manually.
Although artificially planting snow lotus also has strict environmental demands, the conditions near the inn are actually suitable for snow lotus growth.
The precious medicinal herb, snow lotus, is not only grown in the Tianshan Mountains, but is the most famous Tianshan Mountain Snow Lotus. In terms of its true medical value, it grows on the plateau, especially the black water, and the plateau Maotou snow lotus on the side of Panan is no worse than the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
The medicinal value of artificially grown snow lotus is also not low, so it can be sold for dozens of yuan per gram on the market.
"Or what if I can get some snow lotus and some big flower Rhodiola?" After thinking about it, Lao Liu stood up and pulled the door and went downstairs to the backyard.
The backyard is actually quite large, and the yard of about 400 square meters is enough to park a few cars.
The ground of the yard was not completely hardened, but there was a circle of roads paved with red bricks in front of the bungalow, about one and a half meters wide.
There is still an open space with weeds in the middle of the yard.
I guess the second uncle built this yard to be used as a parking lot at the beginning, otherwise why did he build a door to the west that can enter and exit the car?
However, the yard is no longer available as a parking lot. Whether it is the large open space in front of the store building or the grassland west of Tian Peng's car repair shop, it can be used as a parking lot. Anyway, there are surveillance and it is very safe.
So Lao Liu wanted to make use of the yard. After all, except for the red brick road around this large yard, the remaining area is also 300 square meters, which is about four minutes.
Standing in the backyard with his chin touched his chin and thought for a long time, Lao Liu finally decided to take the time to transform the middle of the yard into a small garden, half of which is snow lotus and half of which is Rhodiola.
After returning to the house on the second floor again, Lao Liu began to try to condense snow lotus and Rhodiola.
Unexpectedly, if you want to condense a large flower, Rhodiola or snow lotus, the happiness you consume is a bit painful for Lao Liu.
Although I used to consume more happiness when I condensed mutton fat jade mountain and Dushan sky blue jade, the question is how much does a piece of jade cost?
That piece of Dushan Sky Blue Jade sold for almost 60 million yuan. If that piece of jade mountain is sold, the price will be even higher.
If condensing a piece of mutton fat jade mountain consumes Lao Liu's twenty units of happiness, then condensing that piece of sky blue jade consumes Lao Liu's about one hundred units of happiness.
Now, it takes about five units of happiness to condense a large flower, while the snow lotus with relatively tall plants, it takes about eight units of happiness to condense a plant.
Even if a snow lotus costs 1,000 yuan per gram, a dried snow lotus is calculated based on twenty-five grams, a snow lotus will only be sold for 25,000 yuan! This is still the price of a wild snow lotus.
To sell for 60 million, it would take 2,400 snow lotus trees.
How much happiness does 2,400 snow lotus need to consume? Calculate it yourself!
In any case, it is far less cost-effective to condense this snow lotus than condense a piece of jade.
Even if it consumes ten units of happiness to condense a real old ginseng tree? It is not as cost-effective as condensing jade!
Old Liu shook his head in distress.
It seems unlikely to rely on this Wood Hourglass to make money.
But, in Lao Liu's feeling, this wood hourglass should have much more than this function, right?
But the problem is that Lao Liu dares not try it now? If he makes a number and doesn't mention the suspicion, just the consumption of this happiness is probably not something he can bear.
The height of a large flower Rhodiola is only twenty centimeters, and the height of a snow lotus is only more than thirty centimeters. This has consumed so much happiness? If we make another tree seven or eight meters high? What a great deal?
"Maybe it's different things that condense! After all, no matter how much this plant is, it has life, and it's different from jade and that spring water..."
"Well? Could it be that the happiness consumed by condensing something with vitality and the things without vitality?"
"It must be so! A plant has roots, stems, leaves, flower seeds, roots are responsible for absorbing nutrients from the earth? Stems are responsible for transporting nutrients? Leaves are responsible for absorbing sunlight to synthesize chlorophyll, flowers are responsible for fertilization, and finally breeding seeds. This is a complete life! So, what about seeds?"
In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed through Lao Liu's mind? He immediately condensed something again, was it a seed? A seed of a snow lotus.
"It's true! I'm just a genius!" Old Liu clapped his hands excitedly, and the dumplings beside him shouted twice. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with his father spending time playing with him and ignoring him.
Old Liu stroked the bird's heads lightly with a good look, and then he picked up the seed with great enthusiasm.
Although I don’t know if this seed can germinate? The happiness consumed by condensing this seed is surprisingly small.
Condensing such a seed? Old Liu guessed that he could not even consume one percent of the happiness point.
If so? It is much more cost-effective to condense a batch of precious medicinal herbs than to directly condense precious medicinal herbs.
"Well, it takes a lot of time to grow into a qualified medicinal plant." Old Liu scratched his scalp in distress again.
If the big flower Rhodiola is propagated with tubers, it will take two years. If it is propagated with seeds, it will take at least four years to grow from a seed to a qualified medicinal plant. And the snow lotus will take at least five years...
The happiness consumes too many points of happiness that can be consumed directly to condense the snow lotus, and if you can reproduce it with seeds, it will take too long!
"This is probably the choice of fish and bear paw!"
"It seems that the function of this wood hourglass should be 'large-scale killing type', rather than 'precise strike type' like water hourglass or earth hourglass..."
Shaking his head, temporarily putting the matter of making money with the Wood Hourglass aside.
Since things cannot be done, don’t think too much, so as to save brain cells. If the hairline retreats, it will be even more costly!
...
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the number of guests has obviously decreased, and there have been fewer and fewer people like Lu Ming.
There is no way, the peak tourist season on the plateau is summer vacation, after all, the most beautiful month on the plateau is July and August. And at that time, most children were on holidays, and families with conditions often choose to bring their children to the plateau to see the magnificence of the plateau.
Once the children start school, the number of tourists will drop rapidly. Then, when the seven-day holiday on October 1st comes, the plateau will completely enter the off-season for tourism.
It makes sense that the major attractions on the plateau regard November 1st every year as the beginning of the off-season for tourism.
The tourists have changed a lot, these attractions are the clearest.
Another roadside shop on the plateau that is most sensitive to changes in the number of tourists is a roadside shop like Tianlu Inn.
After all, almost all the roadside shops are expected to be tourists!
Although Tianlu Inn is gradually starting to open its reputation in the mouths of past drivers, it will take some time for the reputation to ferment.
So, when Lao Liu returned to the lobby, he found that the situation in the lobby was no different from when he left more than half an hour ago.
My uncle sat at the bar with a cigarette in his mouth and pulled his phone. When he got close, he could clearly hear the sounds of "explosion" and "three generations and one" coming from his phone. There was no doubt that my uncle was playing Landlord.
Danzengwangmu and the three waiters were bored and sat outside the bar, lowering their heads and brushing their phones.
The large-screen LCD TV hanging on the walls of the north and south of the lobby is playing some programs weakly, but unfortunately no one watches it.
No wonder everyone now says that since the emergence of smartphones and 4G networks, TVs, cameras, radios, MP3s, wallets, computers, etc., all have become decorations. A small smartphone can almost do everything that electronic products can do...
There was a shout from the kitchen, and Lao Liu went to the kitchen with a smile. If nothing unexpected happened, Tian Peng, Dagou, Men Zhaojun, Xie Feng and Yangji sisters were gathering together to fight to the top, while Zhaxi Dawa stood behind his second sister Nizhen with his arms around watching the battle...
Well, it’s not about using your mobile phone to play online, but using poker.
Brother Peng, Yangji and Xie Feng's faces were covered with notes, and there were also several notes on the faces of Dagou, Men Zhaojun and Nizhen, but the number was far less than that of the opponent.
Dongshan’s island city is the birthplace of Goujia, and entertainment projects like Goujia have been circulating in Dongshan for a long time.
Lao Liu, Tian Peng and Dagou have been playing high-level players since childhood. It is no exaggeration to say that the poker game they first learned when they were young was not "take the train" or "fight for the best", but a poker game that requires the cooperation of the federal government and is highly competitive.
Tian Peng has a particularly profound attainment in high-level games. When he plays cards, he can not only remember what cards he deals with the opposite door, but also remember how many kings, two, and A were produced outside.
But unfortunately, although playing a game like this is very skillful, there is another thing that is also very important, that is luck!
There are many experts who are good at it who say that skills are more important than luck, but they simply say that grapes are sour.
Even if you are a world champion of level 1, you will catch two or two A cards in this card, and all the cards are single. You will catch three or two small cards opposite the door, five or two or six A cards, and there will be a lot of cards in level 1.
No matter how good your skills are, you must simply kneel down under the absolute advantage.
As the saying goes, a good woman cannot cook without rice, this is what she says.
Well, you can also say it more ruthlessly, that is, you can kill the master with random punches!
Obviously, Tian Peng and his group were very lucky today, so their group had a lot of notes on their faces.
Obviously, the big dogs and the others were very lucky and caught the "drum" again (the cards were very good). As a result, Tian Peng and his group were pressed and beaten so hard that they couldn't raise their heads. In the end, the big dogs and the three of them "set up" the (big dogs and the three of them, the second and third departments, and Tian Peng and the others were all caught).
Tian Peng was so depressed that he was going crazy. When he looked up, he saw Lao Liu smiling and holding his arms. He simply threw the cards in his hand and said angrily: "I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore. Just such a bad hand, even if I hit, I will be abused."
As he said that, Tian Peng stood up and stretched.
Lao Liu took out Huazi and scattered them one by one. Several smokers lit the cigarettes amid the laughter and scolding of Yangji and you, and began to smoke beautifully. The two sisters of Yangji couldn't stand the smell of smoke and got up to the guest room behind.
"What, Brother Peng, you have times when you are abused and don't play cards," Old Liu teased.
"Tsk, today I'm just a stinky hand. I can't catch someone."
"Brother Peng is a dead duck, and his mouth is hard." The big dog spitted a smoke ring and started to mock him, "Tsk tsk, after only one hour of beating, there were eighteen notes on Brother Peng's face. I think Brother Peng can change his name to Tian Shibalang!"
Several people burst into laughter.
Tianqu’s level-level playing style is somewhat different from that of the island city, mainly because of the issue of winning or losing.
To be continued...
