Chapter 835 2 Didn't Disgrace Your Identity
After seeing Sun Shan off, Gardener Pan went in a hurry to find the gardener.
Inviting Mr. Sun today was purely a personal act, and the owner of Liujiayuan was not aware of it.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Sun actually told him such terrible bad news. Gardener Pan was sweating profusely and felt very empty.
It took decades of hard work to grow such a large field of roses to achieve their current fame.
What if roses cannot be grown in this garden?
By then, not only will Gardener Pan be unemployed, but the owner of the garden will also suffer heavy losses.
This rose garden has a wide variety of customers purchasing it.
There are ordinary citizens of Beijing who love flowers, as well as wealthy families, many dignitaries, and even flowers specially supplied to the imperial palace have been selected.
When the roses are in full bloom, it attracts many tourists.
The owner of the garden collects admission fees and sells flowers at the same time, making a lot of money on both ends.
Some wealthy families even rent out the entire garden to hold rose-viewing banquets, and the garden owner makes a lot of money.
The reputation that was hard-earned was ruined just because the roses were not doing well. Most people could not accept such a blow.
Gardener Pan ran quickly to the gardener's house and told him everything that Mr. Sun had said.
As for whether to believe it or not, that is the gardener's business. As for the losses caused, that is also the gardener's business. As for what countermeasures to come up with, that is even more of the gardener's business.
Gardener Pan's job is to take good care of the roses. Now that there is a problem, he must report it truthfully.
Gardener Pan also asked why Liu Jiayuan was contaminated with bacteria and whether he had done something wrong when taking care of the flowers.
The answer given by Mr. Sun made Gardener Pan breathe a sigh of relief.
Mr. Sun said there are many reasons why the soil is contaminated with bacteria and viruses.
For example, there are problems with water sources, air conditions, or even problems with the rose seedlings themselves.
Mr. Sun also sighed and said that there is no way to avoid the rose becoming sick. No matter if one area only grows one kind of flower or plant, it will inevitably become unsuitable for planting after a while.
It is best to rotate different varieties to keep the soil healthy.
Some viruses may be a nemesis to one plant, but a blessing to another.
A piece of land cannot always grow one type of plant.
Perhaps Liujiayuan has been growing roses for too long, and the soil has deteriorated, so it is no longer suitable for growing roses.
When Gardener Pan heard this, he felt relieved and looked at Sun Shan with gratitude.
In short, it’s not a problem for him as the head gardener. It would be great if it was some other problem.
In this way, even if the gardener blames him, Gardener Pan can explain it clearly.
This was not a reason he came up with to shirk responsibility, but was said by the talented Mr. Sun.
The old Jinshi has teeth as valuable as gold, is well-read, and is knowledgeable. He is a disciple of the emperor and a Jinshi personally selected by the emperor. If you don't trust Jinshi Sun, who else can you trust?
Sun Shan had no idea that Gardener Pan could shirk responsibility because of his words.
But even if he knew it, he would still say that he was not wrong.
Not long after Sun Shan returned to the He family, the owner of the garden came to the door as expected, and solemnly invited Sun Shan to have tea and dinner, and solemnly asked for advice.
Sun Shan repeated everything he had said in Liujiayuan.
And three strategies are given: upper, middle and lower.
As for whether the owner of the garden accepted the idea or not, that was his business. Sun Shan would not force him. After all, it was not Sun Shan who suffered the loss.
Before leaving, the owner of Liujiayuan gave Sun Shan a generous gift and also included a red envelope.
Sun Shan didn't want to accept it at first, but the owner of Liujiayuan was very sincere, so he accepted it reluctantly.
Others have given it so sincerely, it would be unreasonable not to accept it.
When they returned to He's house, Sun Shan and Gui Ge'er immediately closed the door.
Gui Ge'er said anxiously, "Brother Shan, look, how much reward the owner of the Liu family gave us."
Gui Ge'er believes that if you do things for others, you must charge a service fee. Since they are not relatives or friends, he certainly cannot do it for free.
What's more, Shan Ge is a noble scholar who has condescended to give me advice. This is such valuable advice.
If it weren't for his brother Shan's real love for flowers and plants, he wouldn't be able to hire one even with all his money.
What's more, in this day and age, learning to read and write costs money, and knowledge is even more expensive.
It is only natural that Bao Li, the owner of Liu Garden, should come.
Gui Ge'er looked at the thin red red envelope expectantly, not knowing how much money was inside.
Judging from the appearance, it should be a silver note, not silver or gold.
Sun Shan looked at Gui Ge'er with amusement, picked out a red envelope from the pile of gifts, and opened it to take a look.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Sun Shan and Gui Ge'er saw the amount of money inside.
It turned out to be 100 taels.
Sun Shan was stunned. He didn't expect that the owner of the Liu family would be so generous and actually gave 100 taels of silver.
It seems that Liujiayuan can really bring a lot of profits to the owner.
If you earn less, you won’t be willing to spend so much money.
Of course, it is also possible that the owner of the garden wanted to make friends with Sun Shan, so whether the roses bloomed or not might not be important.
However, Sun Shan did not think so. To be able to become the number one rose garden in the capital, it must have a strong background in the capital.
I am just a low-ranking scholar, so the owner of the garden probably wouldn't go out of his way to make friends with me.
Sun Shan believed that Liu Jiayuan earned too much money and the owner attached great importance to his advice, so he was willing to spend so much money to make friends with him in advance. After all, he might be able to use him later.
When Sun Shan thought about this, he accepted the money with peace of mind.
This is the money he earned with his own ability, so he must accept it.
I'd rather accept it than let my profession down.
Sun Shan naturally believed that knowledge needs money to buy and his knowledge is very valuable.
When Gui Ge'er saw the red envelope of 100 taels, he was delighted at first, then he curled his lips.
He said unconvincedly: "Brother Shan, why did the owner of the Liu family give so little? Only 100 taels. I think at least 1000 taels is enough."
When Gui Ge'er first saw the 100 taels, he was delighted.
Oh, 100 taels is a lot. Brother Shan is really good at making money.
Then I thought that Shan Ge today is different from the past. He is a Jinshi and a future official.
The owner of the Liu family only gave 100 taels, which was really not worthy of Shan Ge's status.
Humph, you are so stingy. Next time you invite Brother Shan, you must refuse.
Sun Shan looked at Gui Ge'er speechlessly and tapped him on the head with his fan.
He smiled and said, "You are so careless now that you don't even care about 100 taels? Haha, there is also 1000 taels, Gui Ge'er, don't think too much."
How come Gui Ge'er said that 100 taels seemed like 1 tael, and 1000 taels seemed like 10 taels, and he said it as if it was nothing.
It seems that earning 100 taels is a very easy thing.
Is Gui Ge'er too arrogant?
But Gui Ge'er asked him to earn 100 taels, but he couldn't make it no matter how hard he tried.
I don’t know who gave Gui Ge’er the courage to say so casually that 100 taels was too little.
Sun Shan hit Gui'er on the head, which hurt a little and he cried out.
He looked at Sun Shan with grievance and said pitifully, "Brother Shan, you are now a Jinshi. 100 taels is too little for your status. 1000 taels is not a disgrace to your status."
