The greenhouse was installed very quickly, in less than a week.

The place is not big, about ten or twenty square meters, and it is rectangular.

There were two rows of shelves on each side, and then another one in the middle.

There was a large fish pond at the very back, but it's still empty now.

Then a small open space was left, where a set of table and chairs was placed, which is reserved for relaxation in the winter.

The windows on all sides can be opened; they are double-glazed and very well sealed.

Moreover, these are all electronically controllable. It's summer now, so there's no need to turn them off; they're all open right now.

However, the greenhouse is still empty. I'm going to get some flowers and plants to plant since I have nothing else to do.

Miaomiao had already packed her things. She was in a great mood today, finally able to go shopping with Ye Feng. She had been so bored these past few days.

It's not that he doesn't want to go out, but that he can't, since so many people are looking for him.

So much time has passed, the hype has died down, and it's time to go out and have some fun.

Sunlight streamed through the car window and fell on Miaomiao's face. She clung to the window, looking out, her lips never twitching.

"Look slowly, don't stare too intently."

Ye Feng turned his head to look at her, a smile in his eyes, "The flower and bird market is very big, let's take our time and browse around, no rush."

"Okay!"

Miaomiao turned her head and glared at him, her tone full of excitement.

"I haven't gone shopping properly in almost a month. I've been staying at home every day, and I'm almost becoming a homebody."

Ye Feng chuckled, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. From now on, whenever you want to go out, we can come anytime and shop until you're satisfied."

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the flower and bird market on the outskirts of the city.

As soon as I got off the bus, the fresh scent of grass and trees wafted towards me, mingled with the damp aroma of earth. The market was bustling with activity; the shouts of vendors, the chirping of birds, and the babbling of water mingled together, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.

Miaomiao grabbed Ye Feng's hand and rushed inside, like a little bird breaking free from its cage.

"Let's go look at the flowers first! The greenhouse shelves are empty; we need to choose some that are both pretty and easy to care for."

The two first went to a stall that mainly sold orchids. The owner was an old man with gray hair, who was watering the flowers with a spray bottle.

The stall was filled with orchids of all colors. The petals of the Phalaenopsis orchids looked like butterflies in flight, the Cattleya orchids had bright and eye-catching colors, and there were also elegant Dendrobium orchids. Miaomiao's eyes widened at the sight.

"The young lady has a good eye. These are all varieties that were just airlifted from Yunnan, and their quality is top-notch."

The old man greeted them with a smile, his gaze lingering on the two of them for a moment before he focused solely on introducing the flowers.

"Phalaenopsis orchids prefer shade, while Cattleya orchids tolerate sunlight. Both are suitable for growing in greenhouses, where the temperature can be controlled between 18-26℃."

Miaomiao squatted in front of the orchid, gently touching the petals with her fingers. The soft touch made her smile.

"Ye Feng, look at this pink one, isn't it beautiful! It will definitely stand out on the shelf in the greenhouse."

Feng squatted down beside her and picked up his phone to show photos of the greenhouse.

"The shelf has four tiers. We'll put two pots on each tier: two each of Phalaenopsis orchids, Cattleya orchids, and Dendrobium orchids. The colors will be different, so it will look neater."

He turned to the old man and asked, "Do these orchids need any special care during their growing season?"

"No need to worry too much."

The old man waved his hand, "Just keep the soil moist and avoid direct sunlight. If you have a greenhouse with intelligent temperature control, that would be even easier, and they would grow faster."

"It just so happens that our greenhouse can automatically control the temperature and humidity."

Miaomiao said proudly, "If there's not enough light, it can automatically turn on the grow light!"

The old man smiled and nodded: "That would be wonderful. With you by their side, these flowers will surely thrive."

The two of them selected six orchids in one go. The old man thoughtfully put protective bags on each pot and even gave them a bag of special nutrient soil.

Ye Feng was carrying flowers when Miao Miao pulled him toward the plant section: "Let's buy some more large plants! Putting a couple next to the lounge chairs will create a better atmosphere."

The green plant area offers a wider selection: Monstera deliciosa has broad, emerald-green leaves; Nerve Plant has leaves with delicate veins; Fiddle-leaf Fig has an upright posture; and there are also small and cute air plants that can grow without soil.

"This Monstera deliciosa is great!"

Miaomiao pointed to a Monstera deliciosa with large leaves, "Place it in the corner of the relaxation area. It can provide shade in the summer and look lush and green in the winter."

Ye Feng looked around: "The greenhouse has a side height of 2.5m, and this Monstera deliciosa is exactly 1.8m high. It won't block the view and will also enhance the space. Let's also choose two more nerve plants and place them next to the orchids. The staggered heights will look nice."

The shop owner, a young man, noticed their serious selection and offered his advice: "If you have a fish pond, you can also buy some aquatic plants, such as water lilies and pennywort, which are both beautiful and can purify the water."

Miaomiao's eyes lit up: "That's right! We have a big fish pond in our greenhouse, but it's still empty!"

The two also selected two pots of water lilies and a basket of pennywort. The young man also gave them aquarium substrate and nutrient solution as a bonus.

"Water lilies need to be placed in a sunny spot, while pennywort can live just by being thrown into water; it's very easy to grow."

When they reached the fish section, Miaomiao was already so tired that she leaned against Ye Feng, but she still insisted on choosing fish. "The fish pond can't be empty; it needs some fish to make it lively."

The aquarium is filled with colorful ornamental fish: the golden arowana is majestic, the koi is elegant, and there are also small and exquisite neon tetras.

Ye Feng was worried that fish that were too big would be difficult to raise, so he chose six koi, three red and three white, with bright colors, and also selected more than a dozen neon tetras to decorate the area.

The owner provided them with oxygen bags and instructed them: "Koi are highly adaptable. The water temperature should be controlled between 18-25℃, which is just right in the greenhouse. Remember to let the fish get used to the water temperature before putting them in."

Miaomiao leaned over the fish tank, watching the koi swim around in the water, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "In the future, when we sit in the lounge area and drink tea, we can see the fish swimming around and hear the fragrance of flowers. Just thinking about it makes me feel so comfortable."

"From now on, we'll come to the greenhouse every morning to feed the fish and water the flowers." Ye Feng ruffled her hair. "We'll also buy some flower stands and tools, and set everything up."

The two then bought a solid wood flower stand, a watering can, pruning shears, and some decorative pebbles and moss.

Ye Feng carried bags of various sizes, while Miao Miao was not idle either, holding a small pot of air plants as if they were treasures.

On the way back, Miaomiao leaned back in her seat and looked at the photos of flowers and fish on her phone: "Ye Feng, which flower should we put first? I want to put the pink orchid in the most eye-catching place."

"I'll do whatever you say."

Ye Feng turned to look at her, "But orchids need to be placed in a well-ventilated place. The windows on both sides of the greenhouse are open, which is just right. Water lilies should be placed in the middle of the fish pond, and pennywort should be arranged around the edge of the pond. That will definitely look beautiful."

"We also need to put moss in the orchid pots to make it look more interesting."

Miaomiao added, "By the way, should we buy some more small ornaments? Like a small rockery or a small pavilion, to put next to the fish pond, it'll look like a little fairyland."

Ye Feng chuckled: "I'll buy more next time. I've already bought enough today. Let's settle the flowers and fish first, and then add more later."
