Chapter 41: Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated
Chapter 41: Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated
When Qi Jinxuan saw the pictures Zhou Yu sent, his body froze completely in place, only his eyes fixed intently on the large Black Muscle Jade Dew Variegated in the images.
Even though he had high expectations for Zhou Yu’s Treasure of the Garden before, now, when he truly saw this large Black Muscle variegated plant, he realized his expectations had been too low. This was more than just a Treasure of the Garden; even across the whole country, one could not find many such beautiful large Black Muscle variegated plants.
The faint pink variegation did not spoil the uniquely dark and mysterious color of the Black Muscle Jade Dew. Instead, it made it even more alluring.
Both the variegation and the overall condition of the large Black Muscle Jade Dew were far more beautiful than any he had seen before.
The most astonishing thing was the diameter of this large Black Muscle variegated plant, which reached ten centimeters. That was already a very rare size.
He had seen large Black Muscle variegated plants over ten centimeters before, but those few large black variegated ones could not compare to this one he was seeing now in any aspect.
Zhou Yu had truly surprised him once again. Looking at these pictures, Qi Jinxuan felt a long-lasting unease in his heart. He finally understood why this young man had sold such a beautiful Pan Deng Yulu Variegata—because in his garden, there were even better Jade Dews, even better succulent plants.
“Brother Qi, I’ve finished sending the pictures. What do you think? Can this large Black Muscle variegated plant participate in the competition?” Zhou Yu asked with a smile. He didn’t know what the large Black Muscle variegated plant borrowed by that person from the Small Island Country looked like, but he was full of confidence in the Jade Dews he had cultivated.
With an amazed expression, Qi Jinxuan replied, “It’s more than just able to participate in the competition. A ten-centimeter large Black Muscle variegated plant, whether in leaf color, variegation, texture, or overall condition, is absolutely perfect and full of a kind of spirit. It can truly be called a rare treasure in the world.”
“I have grown succulent plants for so many years, yet I have rarely seen such a large Black Muscle variegated plant. Based on my experience, this large Black Muscle variegated plant will definitely win the top prize at the Succulent Plant Exhibition.” Finally, he added with emotion.
The Jade Dews that Zhou Yu cultivated indeed possessed a unique spirit compared to others, making the Jade Dews come to life and appear more vivid.
The Pan Deng Yulu Variegata he bought before would never be overshadowed among other Jade Dews. At first glance, anyone’s attention would be drawn to that Pan Deng Yulu Variegata.
“Whether it wins the top prize isn’t important. My goal is just to be able to help you,” Zhou Yu said indifferently. The title of top prize was not useful. Moreover, he did not plan to step into the spotlight now. Quietly making a fortune was the real priority.
Qi Jinxuan laughed loudly and replied, “Brother Zhou, meeting you on Xianrou Garden is truly a great fate. I will contact my friend right away and let him see this large Black Muscle Jade Dew Variegated.”
“Brother Qi, there are some matters I need to discuss with you. Let’s talk over the phone,” Zhou Yu messaged.
“Oh, okay, no problem. I’ll call you,” Qi Jinxuan agreed. Soon, he dialed Zhou Yu’s number.
On the phone, Zhou Yu told Qi Jinxuan that he could lend his Jade Dew for the exhibition, but he must not reveal his identity information—not even to friends. Also, if others were present, even if they saw him, they could not mention that he was Flower Not Flower.
Although Qi Jinxuan was somewhat puzzled, he agreed. Many people who grew beautiful succulents wanted everyone in the circle to know, but Zhou Yu did the opposite. Perhaps this young man really grew succulents as a hobby, not to gain fame.
“By the way, Brother Qi, the first Black Muscle Jade Dew Variegated I sent you, I wanted you to help me sell it. Of course, you can also buy it yourself,” Zhou Yu said finally, after discussing these matters.
“What? That artistically perfect Black Muscle Jade Dew, you actually want to sell it?” Qi Jinxuan’s face showed surprise. The variegation on that Jade Dew was very casual, without any rules, which gave it a unique beauty. He had not expected Zhou Yu to want to sell it.
Zhou Yu chuckled lightly and said calmly, “Brother Qi, don’t be so surprised. Things like this will happen often in the future. You need to get used to it.”
Often in the future—Qi Jinxuan was completely convinced. This was what it meant to be a succulent tycoon. “Alright, since you want to sell it, let’s put it at the succulent exhibition. After the event, there will be a small auction. We can put your Jade Dew up then. I believe it will fetch a good price.”
Judging from Zhou Yu’s recent actions—not caring about the Pan Deng Yulu Variegata or this Black Muscle Jade Dew Variegated, and having that large Black Muscle variegated as the Treasure of the Garden—he felt that Zhou Yu must have many high-end succulents.
Thus, he decided to give up on this Black Muscle Jade Dew. When Zhou Yu sold more in the future, he would pick a satisfactory Jade Dew to buy.
“Okay, thank you, Brother Qi. The succulent exhibition is the day after tomorrow. How about I bring two Jade Dews to Jing City tomorrow?” Zhou Yu thanked him and then said.
Qi Jinxuan shook his head with a smile. “Actually, I wish you could come right now. I really want to see that Treasure of the Garden with my own eyes.”
“Haha, then we’ll meet tomorrow. Goodbye,” Zhou Yu laughed and hung up the phone.
Afterward, he contacted the two moderators, Wine Pool and Meat Forest and Meat Dudu, instructing them not to leak his information. He also told them that one of his Black Muscle Jade Dew Variegated plants would be auctioned at the exhibition.
Both moderators said they would absolutely not tell others about his photos or other information. The only pity was that both of them had matters to attend to these days and could not participate in this exhibition.
Zhou Yu just smiled and told the two moderators that after some time, he would bring out two beautiful Jade Dews for sale, half-jokingly telling them to prepare their money in advance.
Wine Pool and Meat Forest and Meat Dudu both laughed loudly and said that as long as the Jade Dews were good, money was not a problem.
After contacting the two moderators, Zhou Yu called Li Tianbiao to borrow his car.
He felt he might need to buy a car. Selling succulents these days had earned him sixty thousand, which was more than he made working for one or two years before. But now it seemed money was still not enough.
Growing Jade Dews could be considered fulfilling a dream. Zhou Yu thought about it and decided he couldn’t rely on just one thing. He would naturally continue growing succulents, but he should also explore other plants.
Once he went to Jing City, bought high-quality Jade Stones, and set up a better Counterfeit Spirit Gathering Array, he would decide what other plants to grow.
The four small Jade Dew seedlings planted in the Spirit Gathering Array yesterday had grown a bit after a day and night. The mutated colors on the three Amber Jade Dews were becoming more crystalline, and the leaves of the White Snake Legend Jade Dew had grown a bit larger and looked truly beautiful.
After these four Jade Dew seedlings grew for another day or two, he would propagate them to get more Amber and White Snake Legend Jade Dews. Alternating the sale of these types of Jade Dews was the most suitable method.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yu went to the town and bought two wooden boxes, planning to put the two pots of Jade Dews inside.
He had just rested for a while after returning to the Old Family House when his Mobile Phone rang again. He opened it and saw someone had @-ed him on WeChat again. This time, however, it wasn’t just him; it was everyone in the entire group.
Zhou Yu opened WeChat and saw the message sent by the group administrator: “Classmates, Han Yahui plans to organize a class reunion tomorrow. Those in Jing City with time are welcome to join. He also made arrangements with his rich second-generation friend who owns a Succulent Shop. Tomorrow morning, we can go to the Succulent Shop to see that beautiful Pan Deng Yulu Variegata. Classmates who like succulents, this opportunity is not to be missed.”
Below, there was a supplement from Han Yahui: “This time, it’s not just about seeing the Pan Deng Yulu Variegata. I heard this rich second-generation friend has a bet with someone else at the succulent exhibition the day after tomorrow, to see whose Jade Dew is more popular. I think this rich second-generation will definitely borrow better Jade Dews. It will surely be a feast for your eyes.”
“This reunion is still AA for male classmates, free for female classmates. It’s been two or three years since graduation, and many classmates haven’t had time to meet up. Let’s take this opportunity to gather, especially Little Universe. This chance to see Jade Dews and broaden your horizons—you can’t miss it.”
Seeing Han Yahui’s words, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but chuckle. This guy was really digging his own grave. However, he had no interest in revealing his identity as Flower Not Flower just to make Han Yahui lose face.
“I’ll join, I’ll join. The photo of the Pan Deng Yulu Variegata that Han Yahui sent last time was so beautiful. I really want to see it in person.”
“I’ll join too. It’s true that classmates should get together.”
Next, some classmates in Jing City signed up for the reunion. After all, some classmates hadn’t seen each other since graduation.
“Classmates who want to join, sign up with me. I’ll collect contact information. We’ll gather at Jingguan Tower at nine tomorrow morning. Little Universe, what’s the matter? Haven’t seen your classmates for years. Don’t you plan to join?” Han Yahui @-ed Zhou Yu again.
“Han Yahui, you really are something. You haven’t been on WeChat lately, and the group has become so chaotic because of you. ‘Got money, no worries’—if you’re not worried, why is this reunion AA? In university, you couldn’t compare to Brother Universe, and even after graduation, it’s the same,” said a person named Chen Zilong.
“I just mentioned that Little Universe should join the reunion. So what? I can’t compare to him? You must be joking,” Han Yahui retorted angrily.
Seeing Chen Zilong, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile. He was a university roommate, and they were like best friends, but he had gone abroad recently and hadn’t been in touch much.
“Alright, Zilong, arguing with certain people is pointless. I’ll join the reunion tomorrow. By the way, are you back?” Zhou Yu messaged in the WeChat group.
“I’m still abroad. Otherwise, I would join this reunion to see how our classmate Han shows off,” Chen Zilong said regretfully.
Zhou Yu then said, “Let’s chat privately. Don’t disturb others signing up for the reunion.”
“Little Universe, remember to arrive at Jingguan Tower at nine tomorrow morning. If you’re late, no one will wait for you,” Han Yahui reminded, seeing these two were going to chat privately.
