Chapter 259: Plant shopping
"Boss, we are here, where do we begin?" Old tiger came ready and eager to work.
The work to do be done was transplanting of a new flower breed that Chi Lian had brought from somewhere none of them knew. They had never even seen the flower before otherwise it would be one of the most beautiful flowers in the world.
It was green with pink leaves that fanned out and folded in a hugging formation.
After talking to Muyang last night, he had quickly sent her an email in the morning which was filled with information about all the Chu family businesses.
In the mall, they were running a hotpot restaurant and a milk tea and fresh juice shop.
Chi Lian had resisted the urge to laugh like a villain after finding out about the milk tea business. Even God was smiling on her. She that owned the cows which produced the sweetest milk in the universe had a foe that had a milk tea business.
Wasn’t this a sure sign that she was meant to disrupt the Chu family business in the complex?
However, in order to get ahead of her enemy, she could not just depend on the milk tea after all she had only six visible cows at the moment. So, T4 came up with the idea of a nutritional supplement drink which was quite similar to that on his home world.
The main ingredient in the supplement drink was powder from the seeds Agar plants fruits which did not exist in this world. However, in the virtual farm, T4 had introduced this plant and it was growing wildly and thriving.
So, she made him scan over two hundred plants and they were delivered this morning. Now, the plants were going to be grown in the green house since the last of the strawberries had been picked and it was empty.
This is why some of her people were here, the Agar plant was the secret ingredient in her supplement drink she did not need anyone damaging them due to carelessness. She also did not want curious eyes around the green house.
"Good morning," Chi Lian cheerfully greeted her people. "I need you to help me move all these plants into the green house. "
The plants were currently sitting in a large truck behind the house.
The men and one woman, Kiki came over and started off loading the plants. Chi Lian of course participated.
After half of the plants had been transplanted, her mother came outside and found them. Some maids followed behind her with refreshment drinks.
"Chi-Chi, you have all been working hard for over an hour, why don’t you rest and drink something?" she gave the first drink to Chi Lian and the maids went around distributing the rest.
"By the way, what kind of plant is this?" her mother asked curiously.
Mama Chi touched the closest plant and pinched its leaf. "Why does it look like it’s embracing itself?"
Chi Lian pulled the plant which was still in a pot away from her mother.
"Mother, don’t pinch it. It’s called an Agar plant; it embraces itself to protect its fruit. When the fruit ripens, the leaves open up exposing the fruit for picking. "She explained.
Mama Chi looked at the plant which she had never seen before in her life. "Where did it come from?"
Chi Lian could not possibly tell her mother that it was an alien plant which was only surviving here because it had been adjusted by the conditions of the virtual farm.
"From the rain forest of the Amazon forest." She blurted what came to her mind first.
The Amazon was not a forest anyone could randomly go into, it was large and dangerous. If anybody asked, she could simply say she found a few seeds and experimented with them to grow the plant.
The amazon forest had millions of plants and animals which were unknown. It was similar to the ocean; there were millions of life forms under there that were still undiscovered. No one could dispute her claims.
She was pretty sure that if the emperor, minister Su or the Tang Siming heard about the unusual plant, they would want to take a look at it. They would not just stop there; they would pinch, prod and carry samples away for testing.
"Isn’t that the forest with all the big snakes which they are always showing on the animal and plant channel? Who was crazy enough to go plant shopping in there?" Mama Chi asked with a grimace on her face.
On the other hand, Chi Lian looked at her mother in absolute mortification. Shopping!!!!!!!!
Did her mother say shopping? Did she think the amazon was a mall where someone went and tried on different outfits or foods?
"Mother, the person who found these seeds did not do it free. They look for rare plants in dangerous places and sell them to the highest bidder at a very expensive price. He risks his life a big fat pay cheque; I am just one of his many customers. This beautiful plant here is going to make me millions." Chi Lian explained with a smile.
Mama Chi shook her head in wonder. "The things we do for money. When we went to the temple with Muyang’s family to pray for blessings, the abbot blessed a few amulets for me. Give one of them to your friend. He could use all the prayers and good wishes he can get in such a job."
As always, Chi Lian thought. Her mother’s large heart came shining through. She cared about the fictional rare plant hunter she had made up on a whim.
"Auntie Chi-Chi, I have heard that you have a beautiful flower in your house." The youngest prince Long Chian came running to the green house with another young one who was Mei-Mei hot on his heels.
"Mother, stop them." Chi Lian anxiously shouted.
One CEO of destruction Mei-Mei was enough but you add the young prince and suddenly it was like someone had set off an explosion in a mine field.
The two of them combined could not keep still; they were as restless as ants. If Long Chian stepped in here, the plants would lose their leaves.
Chi Lian managed to catch her daughter and luckily, Mama Chi stepped in and grabbed the little prince before he could touch any flower.
"Our adorable prince, you should be very careful. What will happen if you fall down and injure yourself?"
"Grandmother, I wanted to see auntie Chi-Chi’s flowers. Uncle Zimo said they are very beautiful, Mei-Mei and I just want to see the beautiful flowers."
As he smiled adorably while explaining, Chi Lian rolled her eyes. They wanted to see the flowers her ass! The two trouble makers were here to destroy her hard work.
Rather than keep them around, Chi Lian carried Mei-Mei and mama Chi carried the little prince away and took them back into the house.
Chi Lian went into the kitchen to try and make the first sample of supplement drink which she had she decided to call nutro.
