Text: Chapter 68 Flowers
The middle-aged man raised his head, glanced at Chen Wei, and found that Chen Wei was brightly dressed, obviously a rich man.
The middle-aged man spoke, "Twenty gold coins." ”
"Two," Chen Wei said decisively, "If you have more, you can keep it for yourself." ”
The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Wei in surprise. "Deal"
Chen Wei took out two gold coins from his space bracelet, threw them to the middle-aged man, and held the plate of flowers in front of him in his hand. With Ciel, he continued to walk into the distance.
"Young Master?" Seeing Chen Wei buy this plate of flowers quietly, Hill said unconsciously.
"What? Do you think I'm spending too much money? Chen Wei glanced at Hill behind him and asked.
"Isn't it?" Hill spoke.
"However, I don't know exactly how much it will cost. Besides, Steward Hill, you know how much it is, but you don't tell me? What are you? Chen Wei snorted coldly at Ciel, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Hill didn't speak, and Hill knew it was his fault.
"Okay, since you know this, Steward Hill, then, if I pick something later, the price of these things will be up to you." Chen Wei smiled and patted Hill's shoulder and continued to walk forward.
"This, this, this, and this." Chen Wei walked in front of a stall, casually pointed to the flowers and plants in front of him, and said to Hill.
Hill walked over and began to confer with the stall owner.
Chen Wei walked alone to a booth next to him and began to look at it casually.
"Good things" Chen Wei stretched out his hands and was about to grab the pot in front of him, when a pair of thin hands fell from the sky and snatched away the pot of flowers in front of Chen Wei.
Chen Wei raised his head and looked at the man in front of him who had taken the potted plant from his hand. Chen Wei looked the other party up and down, and found that the other party was almost the same age as himself, well-dressed, and his face revealed an unknown extravagance.
Chen Wei said to the other party: "What's the matter with you!" I saw it first. ”
"You saw it first, but this is what I took first, and what you saw first doesn't mean it's yours. You should be very clear about the fact that you have fast hands and not slow hands. The young man asked directly to the stall owner. How much? ”
"Two gold coins." The stall owner spoke.
The young man casually threw out two gold coins, picked up the plate of flowers in front of him, and left here directly.
"Hey, boy, give me this plate of flowers in your hand, and I'll give you twenty gold coins, what do you think?" Chen Wei said to the man.
The man looked Chen Wei up and down like an idiot, and said to Chen Wei: "Boy, who do you say is a kid!" Aren't you a kid yourself? Also, looking at the clothes you are wearing, are you also from the Rollin family? Seriously, how did the Rollin family come up with such a person as you? I'll be honest with you! The plate of Flemish poppies in my hand is worth no more than three gold coins. You actually paid twenty gold coins to buy it from you, I said, are you stupid in your brain? This thing is not a rare commodity, here, you can buy it casually, can you use it to grab it from me? What an idiot! ”
After the man finished speaking towards Chen Wei, he turned his head and left the place.
Looking at the young man in the distance, Chen Wei couldn't help but feel distressed.
The other party is right, maybe he is too anxious. I didn't even understand the basic situation, so I made an offer at will.
But it's no wonder that Chen Wei, after all, the attraction of this flower to Chen Wei is too great.
Poppy, also known as Flanders poppy, field poppy, plough, the whole plant is poisonous, containing toxic alkaloids, especially seeds. After ingestion, it can cause inhibition of central nervous system poisoning, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

Capsule broadly obovate, 1-2.2 cm long, glabrous, with inconspicuous ribs. The seeds are numerous, kidney-like oblong, about 1 mm long. The flowering and fruiting period is from March to August.
Chen Wei began to search his mind for the role of the plant in front of him. Chen Wei can know the information of this plant, which depends on the continuous accumulation of Chen Wei's knowledge over the years.
Among the plants I just searched, the plant in front of me has a characteristic that other plants do not have, that is, neurological toxins.
From the very beginning, Chen Wei's passion for neurotoxicity has been on the rise. Encountering such an opportunity, how could Chen Wei give up?
The stall owner looked at Chen Wei in front of him, and said to Chen Wei: "This young master, the Flanders poppy, I still have some here, I don't know if you want more?" ”
The stall owner originally planned to blackmail Chen Wei, but he heard the words from the young man's mouth. immediately gave up this little bit of caution in his heart.
Is it a bad idea to blackmail the clansmen of the Rollin family in this fief of the Rollin family?
But although he can't blackmail Chen Wei, but doing business with Chen Wei, it's nothing?
"Yes, why not, how many do you have?" Chen Wei asked.
Chen Wei asked not how much, but how much. This shows that the quantity needed by Chen Wei is extremely huge.
When the stall owner heard Chen Wei's words, he was very excited. Big deal, big deal!
"There are 200 plants" The stall owner breathed a deep sigh of relief and calmed down his mood. One Flemish poppy costs two gold coins, and two hundred plants, then the price is four hundred gold coins.
One gold coin is enough for an ordinary family to live for more than half a year. Four hundred gold coins, which is a great fortune.
"Well, two hundred! Two hundred, I'll give you three hundred gold coins, what do you think? Chen Wei asked the stall owner.
"En" Listening to Chen Wei's words, the stall owner was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
For Chen Wei's counteroffer, the stall owner was not surprised, after all, this phenomenon like this is a common thing. The stall owner was strange that Chen Wei just now still planned to use twenty gold coins to get the Flemish poppy from the young man's hand, but now, the price was so much lower.
However, the stall owner quickly reacted, and the stall owner was not unclear about what the young man had just said. Scarcity is expensive, and with so many things, the price will of course be degraded.
"Okay, deal, it's just so many things, do you want to send someone?" The stall owner asked Chen Wei.
"Of course, you wait a minute." Chen Wei opened his mouth and walked over to Hill, who was negotiating with the stall owner, and pulled Hill over to let Hill talk to the other party.
"Young Master, what's going on?" Hill was obviously surprised that Chen Wei suddenly pulled him over from the side. Soon, though, Hill got the answer from the other party's mouth.
Although I don't know why Chen Wei wants so many Flemish poppies, as Chen Wei's housekeeper, Hill should help Chen Wei do his best to complete the decisions he makes.
Hill discussed with the stall owner and told the stall owner that if he delivered the items to a location in the Southern District, Hill would send someone to take them over. As for the shipping fee, Hill will also give it to the other party.
But for Chen Wei's identity, Hill does not plan to disclose it to the public.
"Then, please send it there on time, we will pay half of the gold coins first, and we will pay the rest when we receive the goods." Hill said to the stall owner. At the same time, do not forget to warn the stall owner not to let him take the money and not give the goods.
However, for this situation, Hill didn't think it would happen to him, after all, this is Windmill Town, the territory of the Rollin family. Here, no matter where he runs, he can't escape the pursuit of the Rollin family.
"So, let's move on!" Chen Wei said to Hill, who had negotiated, and continued to walk forward.
"Dragon snake grass" bought. "Tulip" bought. "Nightshade" sapling, bought. "Mizujin Flower" bought.
One, two, three, the number is constantly increasing.
Halfway through, Hill knew that no matter how he was taking it, he couldn't take it. In this regard, Hill immediately walked to the side of a small shop of the Rollin family, and temporarily selected some people to come over to help him with his luck. At the same time, a small shop was used as a temporary warehouse to store these flowers and plants.
Before he knew it, Chen Wei had spent more than a thousand gold coins.
"Young master, you have bought so many things, it should be enough! After all, you don't have a lot of gold in your hand right now! Do you know that behind you, there are still 20 acres of fertile land, 5 acres of wasteland, and the rest of your life to live? Now that it costs so much, is it inevitable? Ciel didn't finish his sentence.
Chen Wei also knew the meaning of Hill's words, was it nothing more than saying that he had spent too much money?
However, Chen Wei didn't care much about this. After all, no matter how much money you spend, it is not as important as your own life, so if these exotic flowers and plants can help you, what is the big deal?
