The poor girl from the 1970s was forced to kiss by the damp educated youth.

When Chen Zhi got home, she took a shower and went back to bed. She was originally starving, but after eating a "tree", she felt like something had been injected into her body, and her whole body was swollen as if it was about to burst.

She lay in bed, tossing and turning for a long time before finally falling asleep.

Jiang You and Feng Ruyu arrived at the door at 10 a.m. the next day.

Chen Zhi dragged her tired body downstairs, yawning incessantly, her eyes wet and looking rather pitiful.

"So tired?" Jiang You thought it was because he was possessed by a fox yesterday, and felt a little guilty.

Chen Zhi nodded, then shook her head. Never mind, it's hard to explain.

"Has Mr. Fan's niece recovered?" she asked.

Jiang You's expression was somewhat complicated. "She seems normal now. It's just that she's so concerned about money. Well, how should I put it? Maybe she's been afraid of being poor. She needs to have money in her hands to feel at ease."

"You have to be clutching money wherever you go, you can't let your guard down at any moment," Feng Ruyu added.

Chen Zhi didn't quite understand. "Old Fan isn't short of money, is he?"

With Master Fan around, we don't have to worry about food and drink.

Jiang You: "She doesn't lack anything. But her condition is probably psychological, and psychological problems are hard to cure. Old Fan suggested that she take care of herself and pay her thirty yuan a month. That way, she'll have work to do and money to earn, which will put her at ease."

"That's good too." Chen Zhi said, then yawned again.

Feng Ruyu sighed, "After experiencing several such incidents, Old Fan's health is getting worse and worse. Now that a new jade and antique street has opened, Old Fan has taken over a shop on the street. The shop isn't big, about thirty square meters. He originally planned to sell antiques and jade, but now he doesn't have the energy for it. He said that if you help him three times, he'll give you the shop."

Chen Zhi paused in her yawning. "Such a grand gesture?"

Jiang You disagreed. "That shop is only one story high and a bit old. Old Fan spent two thousand yuan on it. Two thousand yuan is a lot, but you almost got into trouble. Looking at it this way, it's clear that this money wasn't easy to earn. If it were an ordinary person, they might have lost their life last night."

Chen Zhi thought about it and agreed, so she accepted it without any qualms.

Jiang You: "I'll take care of the renovation for you then."

Last time in the ancient tomb, Chen Zhi saved him, and Jiang You had always wanted to express his gratitude. Giving money directly would be too formal, so this was the perfect opportunity.

Chen Zhi hesitated, "That's too much trouble."

Jiang You: "It's no trouble. I also bought a shop there. The two shops aren't far apart, so they can be built together, which makes it easier to supervise the construction."

Chen Zhi then agreed.

Feng Ruyu: "Chen Zhi, are you planning to open your own shop, or rent it out?"

Chen Zhi thought for a moment, "I'll use it myself for now, and I'll sell some flowers. Later, I'll see if I need to rent them out."

"Selling flowers?" Chen Zhi and Feng Ruyu were somewhat surprised. They couldn't understand why selling flowers seemed so out of place for Chen Zhi. Shouldn't Chen Zhi prefer more practical things than flowers?

They wouldn't be surprised if Chen Zhi said she was going to sell grain, but why was she selling flowers?

"Is that not a suitable place to sell flowers?" Chen Zhi asked, seeing their surprise, assuming it was because the location was unsuitable.

Feng Ruyu carefully considered her words, "If you're selling bouquets, you'll do better business in the bustling city center."

"It's not a bouquet, it's a potted plant," Chen Zhi said. "It's a live flower, a rather rare variety."

If Xi Lang says it's valuable, then he's definitely right.

"Ah, it's a potted plant."

Jiang You and Feng Ruyu exchanged a glance. If it were a potted plant, it wouldn't look so out of place.

"Those who like antiques and jade mostly also like to tend to flowers and plants, so it's no problem for them to grow on that street. What kinds of flowers do you have?" Jiang You asked curiously.

Chen Zhi paused; she hadn't recognized them all yet.

The main problem is that the flowers in that house are now scattered and withered. Since winter has just passed, each plant is bare with only a few leaves, and she can't recognize them.

"There are many," she said. "You can come and see for yourselves when the time comes."

Jiang You and Feng Ruyu nodded. They would definitely patronize Chen Zhi's business when the time came. They would buy anything, even a blade of grass, let alone flowers.

After seeing Jiang You and Feng Ruyu off, Chen Zhi originally planned to go back to sleep, but she was thinking about the flowers in the house.

The shop is ready, but the flowers can't be left out.

She simply locked the door and headed towards the mansion.

The streets outside were getting busier every day. Chen Zhi bought a fried dough stick and two steamed buns and ate them as she walked. It took her half an hour to get to the mansion.

The sun is out, and it's making people feel warm.

Chen Zhi took off her coat and began watering the flowers.

There is a lake in the house, not very big, oval in shape, covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters.

Some lotus flowers were planted in the lake, and a few koi carp were raised there.

The two hundred or so flowerpots were arranged in two circles around the lake.

Looking at the fish in the lake, Chen Zhi planned to buy some fish fry in the next couple of days and release them into the lake to raise, making it easier to eat fish in the future.

After watering the flowers, she went to check on the yard she had dug up the day before. Most of the flowers and plants had been dug up, with only a few remaining. Chen Zhi didn't know if the flowers would sell well, but if they did, the remaining plants couldn't be wasted; she had to keep them. She decided to transplant them to another yard, making them easier to care for.

In the remaining courtyards, Chen Zhi planned to plant fruit trees in those further away from the main courtyard, and vegetables and grains in those closer to it. Chen Zhi also considered raising chickens and ducks, but was worried that the chickens and ducks would be too dirty and ruin the house.

Forget it, I'm not going to raise them anymore.

If we raise chickens and ducks as well, it will be troublesome to return to Sandong Village, as we can't take these live animals with us on the vehicle.

Chen Zhi thoroughly cultivated all the land in the several courtyards.

After that, she traveled all over Beijing to buy seeds for fruits, vegetables, and grains, and also bought fish fry. When she bought the fish fry, the shopkeeper gave her two half-dead turtles, saying they were a bonus and that Chen Zhi should take good care of them so she could come back to patronize his business next time.

Chen Zhi refused, thinking that the shop owner was too stingy and she wouldn't buy from him next time.

For several days in a row, Chen Zhi spent all her time in this big house.

When Jiang You called to tell her that the shop renovation was complete and asked her to come and take a look and handle the transfer of ownership, Chen Zhi's more than two hundred potted plants had become vibrant and alive, and some had even begun to sprout flower buds.

However, there were dozens of pots that looked like chives and weeds, and Chen Zhi wondered if she had planted the wrong plants and mistook weeds for flowers.

She couldn't make up her mind, so she could only wait for Xi Lang to come back and ask him again.

The shop has been repainted white and replaced with large glass windows, making it look bright, clean, and tidy.

Jiang You: "I've already had someone measure the shop's dimensions, ordered two rows of shelves and a counter, and also made a coffee table and a few chairs. When it's ready, the shelves will be placed against the wall, the counter will be placed against that wall, and the coffee table will be placed in the middle, so you can enjoy the flowers and drink tea at the same time."

Chen Zhi nodded, thinking it was feasible.

This tiny shop, which has to display potted plants and serve tea, isn't it too crowded?

You should know that many of her potted plants come in quite large pots, especially the peonies and camellias, each one of which is quite large.

Chen Zhi expressed her concerns.

Jiang You hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "Let's put the large potted plants at the entrance and move them back inside when we close the shop."

"That's fine too." Chen Zhi planned to prune the flower branches in a few days, as the branches and leaves were too lush.

Since she devoured that willow tree, the plants around her have grown even faster. The vegetable seeds she sowed just a few days ago are already as tall as a finger today.

It seems we can't grow too many vegetables, otherwise we won't be able to finish them.

Why not plant more fruit trees? Fruit trees have a long growth cycle and don't require much maintenance.

Chen Zhi planned to go to the fruit tree seedling shop again later and buy whatever was most expensive. Whether the seedlings would survive was not a concern for her.

Jiang You: "The cabinets will take about ten days to be installed. Have you set a date for the shop's opening?"

Opening a shop requires not only choosing a date, but also an auspicious time, specifically the exact moment.

Chen Zhi: "No rush, let's wait until Xi Lang comes back."

For such a big event as the store opening, Chen Zhi hoped that Xi Lang would also be present.

"Actually, if you had Xi Lang draw talismans and sell them, along with incense and candles, his business might be even better. He's quite famous in the Taoist circle now, and many people want to visit him," Jiang You said, adding, "You're quite famous too."

Chen Zhi blinked, looking completely bewildered. "How come I didn't know?"

Jiang You: "You really made a name for yourself after that battle at the ancient tomb. On this street alone, at least eight out of ten shop owners have heard of you, and three of them were saved by you. So, if your shop is located here, you shouldn't be harassed by anyone. In fact, people might even patronize your business."

Even though those people didn't come to express their gratitude afterward, they remembered it all.

They had no chance to see Chen Zhi and Xi Lang's true faces before, but now that Chen Zhi has opened a shop here, those people will definitely come to visit.

Jiang You is not worried about Chen Zhi's shop business.

Chen Zhi, however, was skeptical of Jiang You's words.

The transfer of ownership went very smoothly, and Mr. Fan was all smiles throughout, showing no sign of reluctance.

"I heard from Jiang You that you're going to sell flowers?" Old Fan asked.

Chen Zhi nodded, "I have a batch of potted plants, and I plan to test the waters first."

Mr. Fan is also a flower lover. "In recent years, people have not had enough to eat or wear, and with strict policies, fewer people are keeping flowers or birds. As far as I know, many people's flowers have been uprooted."

At this point, Old Fan looked regretful, "Those were all rare flower varieties, and they were just wasted like that. Now, if you want to grow them, you don't even know where to find them. What kinds of flowers do you have here?"

"Peony, camellia, chrysanthemum, azalea... and daffodils and orchids." Chen Zhi counted on her fingers, but when she got to the daffodils and orchids, she wasn't quite sure whether those dozens of pots were daffodils, orchids, or weeds.

Old Fan was surprised, "That's quite a lot. It must have taken a lot of effort to collect all these flowers."

Chen Zhi: "......."

No, it wasn't included with the house.

Old Fan: "When is your shop opening? I'll come and join in the fun."

Chen Zhi: "I'll let you know once I've set a date."
