Zhangzhou is rich in products and is known as the "City of Flowers and Fruits" and "Land of Fish and Rice".Here is rich in "five famous flowers": daffodils, camellias, orchids, red plums, wintersweet.At this time, there are no other flowers in the twelfth lunar month of winter, but there are many plum blossoms.

When a few people went to the flower and bird market, they could smell the fragrance of plum blossoms from a distance.

Plum blossom is a beautiful landscape in cold winter, and it is an important ornamental plant for people in winter. Plum blossom is widely planted in many gardens, courtyards, parks and other places. In the garden, it is matched with Suihan Sanyou pines and cypresses, bamboo and plum blossoms to set off each other, and has become the scenery of many places. an important method.

There are not a few people who love plum blossoms, so there are quite a few people in the flower market. Although it is not crowded, it is still noisy.

When I walked to an open place, someone used hundreds of pots of bonsai plum blossoms to set up a plum grove somewhere, and let people watch and play in it. If you like that pot, you can buy it immediately. Walk.Zhang Taiping had the idea of ​​buying some to take home, so he led several people in.

The potted plum blossoms of different colors are only about one meter high, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom.Its petals are small and exquisite, the red flowers are as gorgeous as flames, the white flowers are like pure white snow feathers, and the green flowers are like green jade in a white plate. A small plum blossom forest is like a fairyland on earth.In people's minds, such delicate and beautiful flowers seem to be only available in spring when everything is revived and a hundred flowers bloom. There is actually a kind of flower that can endure the harsh winter and bloom such gorgeous flowers for people. It is really a blessing for this cold and monotonous winter Added a lot of color.

Wang Gui is a pure vulgar person, he has no research on these arty things, he just follows the three of them to watch the fun.Zhang Taiping looks rough, but the inside is delicate. He also has research on these plants and the like, and carefully selects them inside.

Xing Rushui asked: "Are you going to buy plum blossoms for your family?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "There is a peach tree planted on the mountain. In spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom. It can be called Peach Blossom Mountain, but it looks a bit monotonous in winter. If plum blossoms are planted among the peach trees, the plum blossoms in winter In full bloom, it can become a plum blossom mountain, which is a beautiful scenery."

Xing Rushui can imagine the beauty, nodded and said: "The scenery will be pretty good then."

There are many colors of plum blossoms, but people prefer white, red and yellow.Especially white, clean and harmonious with ice and snow. Metaphors such as "ice flower", "cold jade" and "white snow" came into being.Such well-known sentences as "the ice flowers are all round like jade", "the fairy of Gushe has ice and snow skin", "a branch of cold jade and light spring light".

Zhang Taiping prefers red plum blossoms. If the whole world is covered with silver when it snows in winter, but there are plum blossoms as red as flames blooming on the mountain, what a beautiful scenery it would be.

"It's a pity that these are all bonsai, and I don't know if they can be planted on the mountain." Xing Rushui said.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "It should be possible." He has the existence of spatial springs, so he can definitely be transplanted from the pot to the mountain, and it can even guarantee that there will be no death.

A person next to him asked: "Are you gentlemen and ladies wanting to buy plum blossoms that grow naturally?"

Zhang Taiping looked at a young man wearing glasses and asked, "Who are you?"

The man took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Taiping, saying: "I am the manager of this place now. I just heard that my husband wants to plant plum blossoms on a hillside. I would like to ask you, the hillside of your husband is huge. Not big?"

Zhang Taiping took a look at it, and there were four words "Plum Blossom Villa" written on it, and there was a consultation service phone number below.There are thousands of pots of plum blossom bonsai here, naturally it needs many people to manage it, and this young man must be one of them.

He smiled and said, "It's not too small, and we need a lot of plum plants."

The young man said with a smile: "Here are all bonsai, and I think they are too short. It may not be suitable for planting on the hillside. They are more suitable for living room. And these bonsai are not cheap. If you buy them at a high price, you can transplant them later. It would be a bit of a waste of money to go to the mountains, and we have plum trees that are specially planted on the mountains in our Plum Blossom Villa, I wonder if you are interested in going over to have a look?"

What this young man said is indeed pertinent. Most bonsai are suitable for close-up viewing but not for distant viewing. If they are planted on the mountain, they will be a bit short.Zhang Taiping said: "Oh, let's go and have a look."

The young guy led a few people into the car and drove for about half an hour to a manor in the suburbs.

From the outside, the manor covers a large area, and there are many plum trees in full bloom inside, which looks very beautiful.When they got out of the car, they immediately smelled the strong fragrance of plum blossoms.

After walking in, it seems to be in the sea of ​​plums, making people forget the cold winter, just like the spring when a hundred flowers are blooming.

Xiaoxue sighed involuntarily: "It's really beautiful."

The young man led the four of them to a small building in the center of the villa, and a middle-aged woman who still retained her charm received them all.

After brewing autocratic plum tea for everyone, he asked, "Sir, do you want natural plum blossom plants?"

Zhang Taiping took a sip of the fragrant and elegant plum blossom tea and said, "Yes, I plan to plant a piece on the hillside behind my house. I wonder if the proprietress has any good recommendations?"

The woman asked, "Where is Mr.'s home?"

"Under the Qinling Mountains in Guanzhong."

"It turned out to be a guest from afar." The proprietress said.

Zhang Taiping chuckled.

"Under the Qinling Mountains." The proprietress thought for a while and said, "The Qinling Mountains are sandy and rocky, and the soil is slightly alkaline, which is very suitable for the growth of plum blossoms. Most plum blossoms can grow there. I don't know what color you want?"

"Red, yellow, and white." Qin Tian said.

Based on the information, the proprietress introduced several varieties, some of which I have heard of, and some of which I have never heard of. I don’t know which one looks good. Fortunately, the proprietress led me to go around the manor, and I chose the beautiful ones. down.

In the end, more than ten kinds were selected, and two hundred plants were used for each type. In this way, a total of nearly three thousand plum blossoms were bought. Since they are all seedlings, they are not very valuable. Each plant is calculated at an average of 50 yuan. It also cost 15 yuan.

It's not a big business, but it's not small either.The smile on the proprietress's face was even better, and the date of delivery was quickly agreed upon, and Zhang Taiping prepaid the order.

Business came again, so the proprietress didn't accompany the crowd anymore, but asked the young man who brought them over to lead them to continue strolling around the manor.

Several people walked to the depths of the manor, and there was still a large group of people gathered here.

Zhang Taiping asked curiously: "What are these people doing?"

The young man said with a smile on his face: "Our garden owner is going to sell an ancient plum in the garden. These people are probably here to appreciate and bid."

There are some well-known ancient plums with a long history in China: the representative ones are Chu plum, Jin plum, Sui plum, Tang plum and Song plum. There are five ancient plums.

Chumei is in Zhanghua Temple in Shashi City, Hubei Province. It is said that it was planted by King Ling of Chu. It has been more than 2500 years since then, and it can be called the oldest ancient plum.Jinmei is located in Jiangxin Temple in Huangmei, Hubei. It is said that it was planted by Zhidun, a famous monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It has been more than 1600 years ago.Sui Mei was planted in Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang Province. According to legend, it was planted by Master Enlightenment, a disciple of Master Zhizhe, the founder of Tiantai Temple. It has been more than 1300 years ago.There are two ancient plum trees called "Tang Mei". One is in the courtyard of Damingtang in Chaoshan, Zhejiang, and it is said to have been planted in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty;The last one is Songmei. In Baoci Temple in Chaoshan, Zhejiang, plum blossoms usually have five petals, but this Songmei has six petals, which is very unusual.

Zhang Taiping asked: "It turned out to be Gumei, I don't know what year it is?"

The young man said: "There are three ancient plums in the manor. One is from the Yuan Dynasty, the other is from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The main purchase of the garden is the last one."

Wang Gui asked, "Why do you sell the good ones?"

The young man smiled: "I don't know about that."

Zhang Taiping said: "Go, go and have a look."

Several people stood outside the crowd and watched the scene inside. Three huge plum trees stood side by side.

Plums are divided into three types according to their types, which are real plums, apricot plums, and cherry plums.Under it, it is mainly divided into five categories according to the branch posture, namely Zhizhi plum, weeping plum, Longyou plum, apricot plum and cherry plum.

The young man pointed to the one in the middle and introduced: "This one is the oldest one, belonging to the Longyou plum category."

Several people saw that the branches of this plum tree were naturally twisted, and it really looked like a dragon.

The young man went on to say: "The one on the left is a cherry plum, which is an artificial hybrid of purple leaf plum and palace powder plum, purple leaf red flower. The one on the right is apricot plum, which is a cross between plum and apricot. It was born in the Song Dynasty The famous Fan Chengda recorded it for the first time in "Plum Book", and the flowers, leaves, and branches are between the plum and apricot. The main seller of the farm is this apricot plum."

The young man works in the plum garden, so he is very familiar with plum blossoms, and he is familiar with the types and allusions of these plum blossoms.

Zhang Taiping looked at the apricot plum after hearing the young man's words, and the appreciation among the crowd was also in full swing.
