Xia Ruofei muttered to himself as he made his purchases.
All the plants that he chose were very rare. Naturally, the prices were not cheap. In just a short while, he had spent sixty to seventy thousand yuan.
Most of the time, Xia Ruofei only bought seedlings. Occasionally, there were shops that sold adult plants, and he would buy them according to his own discretion. For example, Xia Ruofei decided to buy an adult Flower Cage plant that cost twenty thousand yuan after thinking about it for a while.
This was because a succulent plant like the Flower Cage grew at a ridiculously slow rate. It grew about one millimeter per year. Even with the tenfold time acceleration in the Ring-Tu space, coupled with the unique advantages of the space's water and soil, it would take at least a few years for a seedling to grow up.
Under such circumstances, Xia Ruofei naturally would not let go of a ready-made adult plant. Relatively speaking, the time needed to breed seedlings was still very short.
In addition to the Flower Cage plant, Xia Ruofei also bought a White Moon plant for around fifteen thousand yuan.
Liang Qichao was indeed a succulent expert. The shops that he recommended had many rare varieties. Of course, the quality would only be known after receiving the goods.
Nowadays, the after-sales service of e-commerce was not bad. In addition, the shops that Liang Qichao recommended were all reputable. Therefore, Xia Ruofei was not too worried.
After the purchase, Xia Ruofei spent a total of more than ninety thousand yuan to buy more than ten kinds of rare varieties of succulent plant seedlings and two adult succulent plants. He felt a pang in his heart. He was spending money too fast. Although two hundred and fifty thousand yuan seemed like a lot, it was not easy to spend!
Xia Ruofei did not directly write down the delivery address as his rental house in Shanty Town. Instead, he chose the express delivery address. Different shops also chose different delivery addresses. It could be said that he was extremely cautious.
In the next few days, Xia Ruofei started to get busy with the opening of the online shop.
Considering that Tmall was mainly targeted at businesses, not only did one have to register as a business to enter Tmall, but one also had to pay a security deposit and a high technical service fee. Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not plan to settle everything in one go. Instead, he planned to open a Taobao shop first.
Compared to Tmall, the process of opening a shop on Taobao was much simpler.
But at the same time, all kinds of certifications were required.
Xia Ruofei used his old mobile phone number and the corresponding Taobao and Alipay accounts to submit the application for opening the store. He uploaded his personal identification photo, and after a lot of trouble, he finally got the application for the store.
Then, Xia Ruofei began to perfect the information of the store. After thinking for a long time, he named his Taobao store "Taoyuan Succulent Square". This name was naturally taken from the "Taoyuan Chronicles" — in Xia Ruofei's opinion, Ring-Tu space was just like the Taoyuan Spring, where one's heart was far away from the earth.
The next step was to "renovate" the shop. Actually, there wasn't much to renovate. Xia Ruofei only used some free templates provided by the official website to build a simple framework for the shop.
As for those fancy fee templates, Xia Ruofei wouldn't waste his money on them.
Since he didn't have a product yet, Xia Ruofei wasn't in a hurry. He slowly built the framework of his online store on his own.
Soon, four or five days had passed.
During this period, Ling Qingxue called twice to ask Xia Ruofei out for dinner, but he declined both times. Hearing the girl's aggrieved voice on the phone, Xia Ruofei couldn't bear it. However, he was really busy now, and he was terminally ill. He didn't know how long he could live, so he could only harden his heart and refuse.
In these few days, the succulent plants Xia Ruofei bought online began to arrive one after another, and he became very busy.
Every time he received a call from the courier agency, he would rush over to collect the packages. These were all valuable and precious succulent species, and they were also the "seeds" for him to make a lot of money in the future. If he lost them at the courier agency, Xia Ruofei wouldn't even have time to cry.
The first one he received was the mature White Moon Succulent that cost Xia Ruofei 15,000 yuan.
After Xia Ruofei took it back, he locked the door and directly took the box into the Ring-Tu space.
A small potted plant sold for 15,000 yuan, so the store was naturally very careful and packed it very tightly.
Opening the large box, Xia Ruofei first saw that it was stuffed full of foam strips. After removing the foam strips on the top layer, he saw a transparent plastic cover with a large flower pot fixed inside. In the flower pot was the 15,000 yuan White Moon Succulent.
It had a huge fleshy rhizome that looked like a big radish, but it was harder than a radish, and its surface was covered with a layer of wax.
On the exposed fleshy rhizome, there were dense green leaves, and each leaf was covered with snow-white fluff. At first glance, it looked like a misty rain, very beautiful and dreamy.
Xia Ruofei carefully took the pot of White Moon Succulent out of the box and moved it to the side of the space pool.
Then, he carefully removed the grains of soil around the rhizome and pulled the White Moon Succulent out of the flower pot little by little.
If Liang Qichao saw Xia Ruofei's actions, he would definitely be unable to help but scold him — how could such a precious White Moon Succulent be pulled out so roughly? Wouldn't it be a waste if it were to be tormented to death?
Changing soil for succulents was also very particular, and a layman like Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't know so much.
However, Xia Ruofei naturally had his reasons for doing so, and at the same time, he was also confident.
He carefully put the White Moon Succulent aside, then poured out all the grains of soil that were originally planted in the flower pot. He picked up the shovel and scooped up some space soil, mixing them evenly together.
Xia Ruofei believed that adding space soil to the plant material would definitely promote the growth of the White Moon Succulent.
As for whether this action would bring harm to the White Moon Succulent, Xia Ruofei wasn't worried at all — with the miraculous Ring-Tu space, the soil, and the pool water, how could it not be able to grow?
Sure enough, when Xia Ruofei put the plant material mixed with the spatial soil back into the flower pot, replanted the White Moon, and watered it with the spatial pond water, the withered White Moon that had been transported for such a long time immediately became lively again.
If Liang Qichao saw this scene, he would definitely be taken aback.
In the following days, Xia Ruofei continuously received deliveries. For these succulents, whether they were mature plants or seedlings, he did the same thing. After mixing their plant material with space soil, he carefully planted them in the Ring-Tu space.
For the sake of convenience, he planted the precious succulents in the flower pots next to the space pool.
Out of habit cultivated in the army, Xia Ruofei arranged these flower pots neatly, and at a glance, they looked like soldiers waiting to be inspected.
