Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 684
In front of Lan's shop, Feng Qian took a look around, and finally her eyes settled on a pot of yellow peonies. She pointed and said to the clerk, "How much does that pot of peonies cost?"

The clerk smiled and said: "The guest officer has good eyesight, and he picked the most precious pot of peony in our place at a glance!"

As he spoke, he delivered the peony flowers.

Bu Jingyue leaned forward and looked at it curiously: "Why didn't my Highness see anything special about it?"

Feng Qian took the flower pot and explained his doubts: "Look carefully, what is its color like?"

Bu Jingyue thought for a while, and replied: "It looks like the color of the robe worn by the king."

Feng Qian nodded: "That's right! It's Yuyi's yellow! Therefore, this variety of peony also has a nice name, Yuyi Huang!"

"Yuyihuang?" Bu Jingyue was very interested.

Feng smiled lightly and said: "Yes! Yuyihuang, also known as Yupaohuang! The flowers are yellow when they first bloom, and yellow-white when they are in full bloom. The flowers are often in the shape of lotus or chrysanthemum. They are noble, elegant and lovely. It is a rare one. The best flowers I've seen."

Hearing this, the clerk gave a thumbs up and praised: "The girl really knows how to do it. This flower is Yuyihuang, and it is the top-quality product that our shop is selling today!"

"How much money?" Feng Qian asked again.

The man replied: "10 taels of silver!"

Feng Qian almost choked on her own saliva: "What? 10 taels of silver? Are you stealing money?"

Although Yuyihuang is the best flower among flowers, it is also one of the top ten most valuable peonies in the 21st century. It is hard to find a single plant, but 10 taels of silver is too exaggerated, it is like a lion!
No matter how good the flowers are, they can't be eaten as food!
She won't be taken advantage of like this!

"100 taels! Buy it if you sell it, and don't buy it if you don't sell it!" Feng Qian said.

The guy blinked, thinking he heard it wrong: "How much?"

"100 taels!" Feng Qian repeated.

The clerk suddenly showed an angry look, and snatched the peony flower over: "Guest officer, are you kidding me? Thanks to you, you are still a knowledgeable person. How could such a high-quality Royal Clothes Yellow be sold so cheaply? If you didn't buy it Sincerely, please leave, we still have to open the door for business!"

Bu Jingyue couldn't stand it anymore: "Sister Qian, you haggled too hard. If it were me, I would be angry too!"

Mu Qingxiao shook his head with a light smile, and said, "10 taels of peonies is indeed too exaggerated, but today is the peony flower festival, and everyone has to buy expensive peonies in order to qualify for the oiran election." , in order to get the best peonies, they will spend a lot of money, so these precious peonies become rare goods, and the more expensive they are, the more expensive they are!"

Feng Qian rubbed her nose, curled her lips and said, "It's understandable to hype, but I don't want to be taken advantage of and spend that 10 taels for nothing!"

Hearing this, the clerk said sarcastically: "If you don't want to buy this pot of Yuyihuang, you can take a look at our other varieties of peonies. For example, these "May Red" are very cheap, and you can buy them for less than 100 taels!"

He was actually despised!
Feng Qian smiled helplessly. She is the majestic mother of a country, and she is reluctant to spend even 10 taels of silver. It is indeed not in line with her status. However, her principle has always been to spend every penny wisely, and she is determined not to spend it. Wrong money!

Mu Qing and Xiao Xiumei frowned slightly, and scolded: "Presumptuous! She is..."

Just about to reveal Feng Qian's identity, Feng Qian stopped him in time, and said to the clerk: "I said that this pot of Yuyi Huang is only worth 100 taels, and there is a basis for it!"

The man didn't believe it at all, he sneered and said, "I'd like to hear what reason you can tell!"

At this time, the people around were attracted by the movement here, and the crowd gathered more and more.

Under the eyes of everyone, Feng Qian's lips curled slightly, and he said calmly: "The truth is actually very simple! As we all know, most peonies bloom in early April, and May is the season when peonies are in full bloom! But Different varieties of peonies bloom at different times, do you agree with this truth?"

The man didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, so he nodded truthfully: "Not bad, but..."

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly!" Feng Qian interrupted him, and continued, "Let's look at the other peonies first, they are either full of flowers, delicate and gorgeous, or fragrant, and they are the ones that are in full bloom. The most beautiful moment..."

She pointed to the Yuyi Huang in the clerk's hand again, and said, "Let's look at this pot of peony again. Its flower color is light yellow, and its stamens are golden yellow. It has not yet appeared the yellow-white color when it is in full bloom. That is to say, it is still in the early stages of blooming." period."

Speaking of this, the guy suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed, showing a disturbed expression.

Feng Qian stared at him closely, pulled her lips and said, "But, do you know when the flowering period of Yuyihuang is?"

When she asked this question, the people around her were immediately stopped. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all looking for answers.

At this time, Hua Mengying, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "The flowering period of Yuyihuang is earlier than other varieties of peonies, and some peonies bloom in mid-March, at the latest in early April, but they account for a very small number of peonies!

Brother is worthy of being a brother, he is well-informed!

Feng Qian cast a warm smile at Hua Mengying, and then he said: "Not bad! It is because the flowering period of Yuyihuang is earlier than other varieties of peonies, so every year when the peonies are in full bloom, it is rare to see the first peonies. The royal garment yellow in bloom, what we often see is the royal garment yellow in full bloom, that is, the yellow-white petals!"

The attention of the crowd of onlookers was completely attracted by her, and they continued to listen to the lecture following her train of thought.

"But this pot of Yuyihuang is yellow all over. It is obviously still in the early stage of flowering, so what is going on? Why is the flowering period of Yuyihuang earlier than other peonies, and when other peonies are in full bloom, it is still in the early stage The early stage of flowering?" Feng Qian raised her eyebrows coldly, and asked, "What did your Lan's store do to it?"

The clerk was startled, and said in a panic, "You are talking nonsense! Nothing! This flower was originally like this!"

"Really?" Feng Qian sneered.

Hua Mengying added: "As far as I know, there is a medicinal powder that can prolong the flowering period. After application, it can delay the flowering period and make it stop growing. However, once the flowering period is over, it will quickly wither, and the leaves and roots will rot. Flowers can no longer grow."

Everyone was amazed and talked a lot.

"This is too deceitful!"

"Yes! It's too deceitful!"

"But why would they do that?"

Feng Qian explained: "The reason is very simple! The purity of a pot of Yuyi Huang can only be judged at the early stage of flowering, and the name of Yuyi Huang is derived from its flower color, so a pot of Yuyi Huang Yuan that just opened It is worth more than the blooming royal yellow!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"I see!"

"But you can't just cheat people like this just to sell it at a high price!"

"There is no profiteering, no business, how can there be a businessman who doesn't cheat people?"

"It's too dark! I will never patronize Lan's store again!"
