Chapter 88: The Way of Making Money Heard in a Taxi

  Zhang Guoquan laughed enough before pointing at Xiao Ping and saying: "You really are a slick talker, using this kind of words to fool me!"

  "I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want my words to be empty, so I can only do this." Xiao Ping accompanied with a smile: "Understand the ages, understand the ages!"

  Zhang Guoquan couldn't help but hear it, and Xiao Ping's words were equivalent to admitting the car accident. After laughing for a few moments, he looked worried and said: "My daughter is so strong-willed and concerned about saving face, whenever something happens she'll bear it alone and hide it from me, her father. Little Xiao, if you can help Yu Xin in the future, please lend her a hand, I'll be very grateful!"

  Xiao Ping hastily said with a serious expression: "Uncle Zhang, rest assured, as long as I can be of help, I will absolutely not stand idly by!"

  "Alright, alright!" Zhang Guoquan was very satisfied with Xiao Ping's answer. Suddenly, he looked at him and asked word by word: "What if you happen to see someone else bullying Yu Xin?"

  "Huh, doesn't he know everything about Zhang Yu Xin's ex-husband?" Zhang Guoquan's words made Xiao Ping's heart skip a beat, but he immediately replied without hesitation: "If I met someone like that, I would definitely beat him until his mother wouldn't recognize him, absolutely no mercy!"

  Zhang Guoquan frowned and said: "Beating people is against the law!"

  Xiao Ping said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't get caught."

  Zhang Guoquan was amused by Xiao Ping's words and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You little brat, can you break the law as long as no one catches you?"

  Zhang Yuxin came downstairs after coaxing her daughter to sleep, saw her father smiling happily and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "What are you talking about, so happy?"

  Xiao Ping said seriously: "Uncle Zhang and I were discussing the issue of strengthening the rule of law in the province, are you interested in joining us to discuss it?"

  "Aren't you guys annoyed, bringing this up during the New Year?" Zhang Yuxin couldn't help but complain. On the other hand, Zhang Guoquan smiled at Xiao Ping with deep meaning, very satisfied with his performance.

  Although Xiao Ping and Zhang Guoquan's family had a good relationship, after all, it was the Chinese New Year, so it wasn't good to stay too long at someone else's house. So after chatting for a while longer, Xiao Ping bid farewell and left. Zhang Yuxin voluntarily escorted Xiao Ping to the door and sincerely said to him: "Come play often in the future, my dad and Momo both like you very much."

  Looking at Zhang Yuxin with a very mature charm, Xiao Ping's garrulous disease relapsed again, and he asked involuntarily: "What about you?"

  As soon as the words came out, Xiao Ping suddenly remembered that he was not facing Li Wanqing who was gentle and kind, nor Song Lei who had a cheerful personality, but Zhang Yuxin with an extremely strong aura. He couldn't help but secretly curse his bad luck in his heart. In fact, it was indeed so, Zhang Yuxin immediately put on a stern face and reminded Xiao Ping: "Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, lest everyone becomes embarrassed!"

  Zhang Yuxin finished speaking and turned to leave. However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and reminded Xiao Ping: "When the blueberries are ripe, remember to call me, we promised Momo, and we've made a deal!"

  "Ah? Alright, don't worry, I won't forget!" Xiao Ping hastily replied.

  Xiao Ping looked a bit at a loss, and Zhang Yuxin felt inexplicably delighted, couldn't help but give him a bright smile before turning around and entering the house.

  Xiao Ping still couldn't get used to Zhang Yu Xin's sudden changes in attitude, and after being stunned for a while, he slowly left. Xiao Ping didn't hail a taxi until he reached the intersection, telling the driver to take him directly back to the farm. Many taxi drivers have the habit of listening to the radio while driving, and this one was no exception. Not long after Xiao Ping got in the car, he heard a social news report on the radio.

  "The third Orchid Expo will be held in the provincial capital in May, and it is said that this expo will attract orchid enthusiasts from all over the world. There will be more than 2,000 varieties of orchids on display.

  The female radio host said in standard Mandarin: "The second Orchid Expo was held in the provincial capital of Lingnan Province, where a pot of orchids was sold for a staggering price of 18 million yuan. Can this year's expo break this record? Let's wait and see..."

  This news caught Xiao Ping's attention, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "A pot of orchids can sell for 18 million, the buyer must be crazy."

  The driver uncle smiled and said, "There are many people in this world who have money, they like it and are willing to spend it. Let alone 18 million, even if they want to spend 1.8 billion, that's okay!"

  Xiao Ping thought about what the driver said, and it was true. Not long ago, that Japanese person, Takahashi Hideto, wasn't willing to spend 2 million to buy two pairs of goldfish either? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying: "There are many orchids on Baiyun Mountain, I'll go dig some up and bring them back to plant. Later, when the Expo comes, each one will be worth tens of thousands, easy to sell."

  After listening to Xiao Ping's words, the driver uncle laughed even harder and shook his head after a while: "You think any orchid is that expensive? Only the best orchids can sell for a good price. The wild orchids dug from Baiyun Mountain are everywhere in the flower and bird market, those things are worthless, at most they can only be sold for tens of dollars.

  I didn't expect the driver to be an expert, Xiao Ping asked with interest: "Then you tell me, what kind of orchid is valuable?"

  "To distinguish the good and bad of orchids, you have to look at several aspects including petals, shape, color, leaves, plant and fragrance. Only those that meet all requirements are top-grade orchids. However, it's extremely rare to find an orchid that meets all these requirements, even among tens of thousands of plants, which is why good orchids are so expensive." The driver uncle chatted on and on, finally adding with a hint of embarrassment: "I'm just an orchid enthusiast, I got all this knowledge from searching online, actually I've never even seen a top-grade orchid in person."

  "You're too humble, it's not easy to say so many reasonable things." Xiao Ping smiled at the driver in a friendly manner, then secretly thought to himself: "The orchids on White Cloud Mountain are ordinary goods, but I have the Alchemy Cauldron, don't I? If I plant ordinary orchids in the Alchemy Cauldron for a few months, who knows, maybe they'll become top-grade orchids worth tens of millions!"

  Xiao Ping thought the more he thought about it, the better the idea was. As soon as he returned to the farm, he began planning to plant orchids. He spent a lot of effort searching online for various knowledge about orchids, from how to distinguish between different types of orchids to methods for planting them, and Xiao Ping didn't miss a single thing. It's also thanks to the convenience of the internet that he was able to find so much information; otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy for him to do so.

  After many days, although Xiao Ping had not seen an orchid, he was at least a theoretical expert in planting orchids. So Xiao Ping took his shovel and basket and went to dig up orchids on Mount Baiyun.
