Chapter 63. Hybrids

Next, the gift was Liu Manjiang, known as the "King of Flowers", who was separated from traitors, but he was a genuine "flower nerd", obsessed with growing flowers, grafting, and cultivating new varieties.

However, the treasure he presented this time lacked novelty, and it turned out to be just a "monkey orchid".

Like Pu'er, orchids are also something that was fried in the past. Liu Manjiang even took it out and sold it, and it seemed like there was no way. After all, he has been busy frying garlic in recent years, and has gone to collect garlic and to raise prices. I guess he himself almost forgot whether he grows flowers or vegetables.

What's more, this "monkey orchid" belongs to the "foreign orchid" variety, and it is simply not as good as the national orchid in terms of price.

You should know that the most expensive people in the orchid industry are now national orchids, which are native to China, which are different from foreign orchids such as Phalaenopsis. 80% of national orchids have no seeds and can only be reproduced by tillering, so they are rare and precious, and tens of thousands are cheap. It is said that the most expensive Orchid Festival in Shuzhong last year was 700,000 yuan. It was bought by a boss in the south, and it is said that the person sold 1 million yuan.

But when the "monkey orchid" was really brought out, Xu Haoming, Zhu Fatty and others couldn't help but be amazed, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

It is said that this orchid is one of the rare "demon flowers" in the world, like humans, insects, ducks, sparrows, and even ghosts.

This orchid, which looks quite like a monkey's face, is scientifically called "Monkey Face Little Dragon Orchid". It turns out that the part of this orchid that looks like a "monkey face" and "monkey mouth" is the lips of the little dragon orchid, and the part that looks like three large petals is actually sepals, while the part that looks like a monkey's forehead and nose is stamens and pillars.

At this moment, the bouquet of orchids presented by Liu Manjiang was called "Sun Dasheng descended to the earth". Unlike ordinary monkey orchids, the trunk of this bouquet of orchids turned out to be the national orchid!

How is that possible?

Anyone who knows a little about orchids knows that monkeys and orchids should be foreign orchids. Why is the main trunk of a national orchid? Could it be a nest?!

Seeing everyone's surprise, Liu Manjiang proudly combed the middle-parted hairstyle on his head with his hands and said, "I believe everyone has already seen that this is a kind of monkey orchid, but it is a new variety I have cultivated with Chinese orchids, not those foreign orchids!"

"You should know that Yanglan and Guolan have different breeding methods, and Yanglan has high requirements for climate. Generally, monkey orchids are difficult to cultivate in China, and even if they are raised, they are difficult to raise. But my plant is different because it is a new type of Guolan that I cultivated through unique cultivation techniques. It not only maintains the unique fragrance of Guolan itself, but also retains the unique color of Yanglan. It can be said to be a unique new orchid!" Liu Manjiang became more and more excited as he spoke, his face was red and his eyes were bloodshot. "I can pat my chest to guarantee it. There is only one in the whole country, and there is no other one!"

Xu Haoming, Zhu Fatty, Ma Dongcheng and others listened carefully, except for Lin Yi.

To be honest, Lin Yi really has no research on orchids. He only occasionally saw some introductions about orchids in books, and it seems that ancient literati and poets like plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums very much.

Unfortunately, as a commoner, Lin Yi rarely comes into contact with this high-end orchid variety. Even if he visits the flower and bird market, he sees a big orchid that costs more than a dozen or hundreds of yuan. But Lin Yi also knows one thing that national orchids emphasize clearness, nobleness, fragrance overflows, and is loved by gentlemen; foreign orchids seem to value color but not spirit, and they float on the flower appearance, and look a bit charming.

Liu Manjiang combined the two kinds of orchids ingeniously, just like tying a lady from a family and a beautiful woman in the brothel to create such a hybrid variety, and she was so happy that she could be said to be "being possessed".

Maybe because the distance was too close, just as Lin Yi was thinking about it, the fragrance of the hybrid orchids floating on his nose.

Lin Yi himself has a scholarly aura, and this breath attracts the most spiritual things, and the best flowers of orchids are no exception. Therefore, this bouquet of orchids is like a seduced ignorant girl, involuntarily echoing the spiritual energy exhaled from Lin Yi's nose. As Lin Yi's breath rises and falls, the orchid also sways gently, like the wind blowing wheat waves, full of wonderful dynamics.

At the beginning, Lin Yi could tolerate it. As his nose became more and more sensitive, the breath emitted by the hybrid orchid became stronger--like the elegant aura of a girl, mixed with the strong rouge smell of a woman in the world. Two different flavors were mixed together, making Lin Yi's sensitive nose itch--

Here Liu Manjiang praised his orchids as having reached a state of complacency, spitting and boasting, saying that this kind of flower is so precious, so rare, and rare, it is worth at least two million when auctioned on the market, especially these monkey-like flowers, each of which is worth a thousand gold...

Before Liu Manjiang could finish these words, he heard the sound of "Ah Yeh", but when he saw the orchid in his arms that was regarded as a treasure, the petals drifted away and the ground was filled with red!

How is that possible?!

Liu Manjiang looked in disbelief---

Looking at Lin Yi again, his face turned slightly red and embarrassed. He wiped his nose innocently and said, "I'm sorry, I just sneezed just now."

...

Lin Yi never expected that the hybrid orchids that breathed spiritual energy with his nose would suddenly fall from their petals and fall on the ground because of a sneeze.

The biggest selling point of this orchid is that the flowers look good, like monkeys' faces, but the monkeys' faces are all touching the ground, leaving only bare poles. What's more expensive about this orchid?

Liu Manjiang was angry, wronged, and frustrated. How could such a thing happen? Just a sneeze, not a level 10 typhoon, why was his orchid ruined? Could it be that the miscellaneous varieties he had worked hard to cultivate were so single and weak and weak?

Although Liu Manjiang was very angry, he had no reason to blame Lin Yi. To be precise, he did not really prove that the remnant of his baby orchid was related to Lin Yi's sneeze based on facts.

Sneezing crippled my flowers. If you say it, who can believe it?

Everyone doesn't believe it, they just think it's a coincidence.

Sneezing and falling flowers are so coincidental that it is no longer possible.

In the end, the boss Xu Tianming saw Liu Manjiang’s sad face and comforted him: “I will give you 500,000 this flower!”

It's a consolation prize.

Liu Manjiang, what else can I say?
