    "Xiaoxian, my aunt is going to the capital star of the Sulu galaxy for vacation. Haven't you found a job yet? Let's help my aunt take care of the flower shop first. The salary is based on the store manager's standard, three thousand star coins a month."

    "Looking at the store?" Hua Xian sat on a bench in the park to answer the phone, with a small glass bottle pendant hanging around her neck, which contained dried lavender flowers and seeds. This is a common necklace jewelry on the earth.

    Hua Xian came from the earth and traveled to the future.She had a copy of Interstellar Daily with several recruitment notices on it, two of which were circled by her pen.

    "Yes. It suits you very well." My aunt was very enthusiastic. "It's so hard to find a job now. It's too difficult for college students to find jobs. You can do it in a flower shop first. Let's not talk about it, I'm going to board a spaceship.Send you the employment contract of the florist."

    The phone hangs up.

    After a while, in Hua Xian's WeChat, received a piece of information - "Happy Flower Shop Manager Contract"

    Hua Xian flipped through it, the terms and conditions were seven pages in total.Article 1, Party A hires Party B to be the store manager of Happy Flower Shop.The term of the labor contract is one year.From June 4201 to June 4202, there is no trial period.

    Starting from the second article, it is the basic rights and obligations of both parties.Long and cumbersome, it seems that there is no overlord clause.

    There is no need to work overtime, and the salary is also normal from 9 to 5.Three thousand is not high, but it is indeed a good salary for a college student who has just graduated and bumped into walls everywhere.

    Hua Xian is not worried that her aunt will cheat her.

    Her parents died early, and she was sent to live with various relatives when she was very young. Living in other people's homes is a trouble after all.Only my aunt was kind-hearted and willing to support her to grow up, and even sent her to college.

    Without any hesitation, Hua Xian signed the electronic contract.

    She checked it with an optical brain bracelet. The location of Happy Flower House is relatively remote, on planet S314, Qinshan City.

    My aunt likes to make small investments. She has invested in some small shops on many planets. She doesn’t go to see them herself, so she hires employees to take care of them. She travels around when she makes some money. She lives freely, does not marry, only falls in love, young at heart.

    Therefore, even though the happy flower shop is located in a remote place, Hua Xian didn't find it strange.

    She opened the smart bracelet and ordered a spaceship ticket to planet S314.

    *.*.*

    S314 is an abandoned agricultural planet full of barren fields.As early as 5,000 years ago, due to environmental degradation, acid rain pollution, piles of garbage, and nuclear radiation from wars, all the flowers, plants, and crops in the entire interstellar world have been extinct, and no plants can grow in the barren and toxic wasteland.The agricultural planet also loses the meaning of existence.

    Without fresh flowers, flower shops sell artificial flowers; without green leaves, the advanced Sulu galaxies have developed an independent oxygen cycle device, which can produce oxygen without photosynthesis; without crops, no one will eat them.Don't eat rice, but take nutritional supplements for three meals a day.

    Hua Xian was at the space station and arrived at planet S314 by spaceship.

    She pulled a small suitcase, followed the navigation of the smart bracelet, and arrived in Qinshan City.There are few things, a few changes of clothes, important documents, and you can go on an interstellar trip with your bag at any time.

    "Happiness Flower House, I've never heard of it."

    The taxi driver of the online appointment is a very talkative uncle, with a blue stubble on his chin, "Miss, did you remember the name wrong? The flower shop in Qinshan City is quite famous for its sweet wedding event.of."

    "I can't remember it wrong." Sitting in the back row, Hua Xian opened the store location that his aunt had sent him, and stretched it out to show the driver, "It's here, you can take a look."

    The driver saw Hua Xian's delicate eyebrows, crescent moon eyes, and the corners of his eyes turned down when he smiled. He also has a daughter of a similar age, so he was a little more patient: "Simon Road? The location shows that it is in the seventh district nursing home. Could it be next to the nursing homeIn the alley?"

    Twenty minutes later.

    The taxi stopped at the entrance of the nursing home in the seventh district.

    After Hua Xian came down, he saw that the Seventh District Sanatorium was built like a provincial-level tertiary military hospital. It was quite large in scale, with several inpatient buildings and medical buildings. There was a long train parked outside the sanatorium, with doctors and patients coming in and out.

    There are many military sanatoriums in the interstellar, which provide a place for recuperation and recovery for soldiers who have suffered radiation from thermal weapons and brain injuries in the war.

    And near this kind of nursing home, there must be a small commercial street. This kind of block is very quiet and not too spacious. It can accommodate at most two or three private cars in parallel, but there will definitely be supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, flower shops, and fruit stands., a gift shop, providing food, clothing, housing and transportation for family members and friends who come to visit patients, so that they have a place to buy souvenirs.

    Hua Xian saw a very inconspicuous small shop.

    Auto-sensing glass windows and doors, with earthy red rose stickers on the door, and a cuboid sign beside it, with dark neon lights, flickering in the dusk of the evening - Tsuchida Flower Workshop.

    The word happiness, some of the lamps burnt out, and the combination of the light bulbs that are still on are "Tsuchida".

    It's really earthy.

    Hua Xian had an ominous premonition for a moment: "This is the flower shop I want to help my aunt see?"

    She didn't feel at all that there would be customers coming to buy flowers in such a small and remote place.My aunt really loves her. The salary of 3,000 star coins a month is indeed too high. The monthly turnover of this small shop is unlikely to exceed 2,000.

    Hua Xian walked in.

    She almost thought she had entered a top jewelry store by mistake, and was almost blinded by the shiny bouquets as soon as she entered the door. In the rows of cabinets, silver geraniums, red crystal roses, citrine sunflowers, purpleCrystal lavender, sapphire cornflower, emerald green eustoma, opal lily of the valley, and even pink diamond rose...

    These luxury gems, which are extremely precious on Earth, are the least valuable things in the interstellar era. The Sulu galaxy is extremely rich in minerals. There are more than 300 million mines that have been discovered and successfully excavated. The amount is too large. TheseThe price of gems is about the same as that of iron, and most of them are not as practical as iron.

    A thought suddenly popped up in Hua Xian's mind - take these crystal gem fake flowers and sell them on the earth, and they will definitely sell for an astonishing price of millions!

    On the left side of the store door, there is a counter. Behind the counter is a black-skinned young man, probably in his early twenties.

    As soon as the black-skinned young man saw Hua Xian, he laughed and showed his healthy white teeth: "You are the new store manager, my optical brain has received a message from the boss. My name is Dizak, I worked part-time at Xingfu Huafang to look after the shop."

    Hua Xian nodded: "Hello, Dizak."

    The black-skinned young man scratched his head shyly: "I'm sorry for the store manager, because my father is a miner and sprained his waist at work, so he took half a month's leave and went home to take care of his father. The boss is very kind and allowed me to takeI will be on vacation with pay, and I will come back to continue working after a month."

    Hua Xian understands that my aunt is a kind person, and she will be paid for a month's leave if she takes a part-time job to look after the store.

    "The store is handed over to me. I wish your father a speedy recovery."

    After Dizak expressed his gratitude, he introduced to her the account book, working system, and other facilities of Happy Flower Workshop.It's a work handover.

    Hua Xian got started quickly.

    There are mainly two kinds of products in Happy Flower Shop.

    One is a bouquet, and the other is a flower basket for flower arrangement.

    The cheapest ones are plastic flowers, one star coin; the slightly more expensive ones are silver flowers, crystal flower baskets, five star coins; the most expensive are gemstone flowers, emerald diamond flowers, and only ten star coins.The bouquets and flower baskets are pre-processed and cut and carved with fully automated precision instruments, which are more similar to a quantitatively produced handicraft.

    These flowers are as beautiful as they are beautiful, but they are all dead things.If the customer needs it, you can spray a little perfume on the flower basket when it is on sale.

    Hua Xian smiled, and grabbed the cheapest plastic lily with two fingers: "This kind of flower has no vitality, even if it is given to patients or friends, it will be difficult for them to feel happy and happy."

    "Ah? The feeling of happiness and joy?" Dizak was stunned for a moment. The young man who grew up in the mine showed a confused expression, "Aren't flowers like gifts for a formality?"

    Hua Xian shook her head: "No, that's because you haven't seen real flowers. They are beautiful and fragrant, make people smile, feel happy, and create a sense of happiness. Even some flower fragrances have medicinal value, and lavender can help sleep, relieve mental tension; lily of the valley can make people concentrate when working, and crape myrtle and clove can sterilize and disinfect.”

    Dizak yearned: "The store manager, you are talking about the extinct flowers and plants in the ancient blue era five thousand years ago! I have read the book for several years, and it was mentioned in the ancient star history textbook.The first interstellar civilization war was not launched, and many ancient planetary civilizations are full of greenery, especially the blue star in the solar system, which is simply a paradise for spiritual plants. But—”

    The light in Dizak's eyes dimmed, "Everything was destroyed by the interstellar war. Whether it was flowers or green plants, all withered, and even the seeds left behind were deformed, and they could not be cultivated no matter what method was used. Let alone ourHappiness Flower Shop, that is, planet S314, and even the entire Sulu galaxy, there is no flower shop that can sell real flowers."

    Dizak is gone.

    Hua Xian sat on the chair, staring at the amethyst lavender flower basket, lost in thought.

    Is it really impossible?

    She is a time traveler. When she was on the earth, she was admitted to the Capital Agricultural University with excellent grades, majoring in grass industry, flower and fruit breeding.Her classmates in high school said she was crazy. With such high grades in the college entrance examination, instead of going to Qingbei, she went to study agriculture, and she had no future after graduation.Hua Xian doesn't think so. She likes farming, flowers and fruits, and she is willing to devote her whole life to this.

    After traveling to the interstellar future, she is content with whatever comes her way, and her dreams and hobbies remain unchanged.

    There were no guests all afternoon.

    Hua Xian found that Happiness Flower House has a spacious backyard, and there is a piece of idle land in the yard.

    "It would be great if I could grow something." As a Chinese, Hua Xian's DNA of liking farming moved.

    There are idle shovels and flower hoes in the flower shop.

    After Hua Xian found it from the warehouse, it took more than an hour to turn over the unused land in the backyard and loosen the soil.

    Tired and sweaty, but very happy.

    Anyway, she was not a spoiled daughter at first, she could do any kind of work, and she was used to self-reliance since she was a child.

    "Here comes the problem, in the interstellar world, you can't buy seeds." Hua Xian began to worry.

    Plants are extinct, and the remaining seeds are all distorted. They are enshrined in the Interstellar Research Institute and the Civilization Museum like antiques, and ordinary people have no chance to touch them.

    The spring breeze blew past, cooling the thin sweat on her body.At the same time, a faint scent of lavender was blown into her nose.

    Hua Xian lowered her head subconsciously, and saw the small glass bottle hanging on her chest, with an oak cork, which contained two dried blue lavender flowers and a dozen lavender seeds.

    "Yes!"

    Hua Xian was very happy, and held the small glass bottle jewelry in his hand, which was only as thick as a thumb, "This thing actually came through with me."

    She bought it from a small shop in front of the Capital Agricultural University. When she bought it, she thought it was beautiful and cheap, and wearing lavender had a soothing effect on the spirit.

    She pulled out the rubber cork and poured out a dozen lavender seeds: "This is a seed that has not been polluted on earth. I hope it can germinate smoothly after being cultivated."

    It is now May, and the growth cycle of lavender is relatively short. If it germinates smoothly, it will grow very quickly.

    Hua Xian started to sow the seeds, the flower hoe loosened the soil, and all the fifteen flower seeds in the small glass bottle were planted.Cover it lightly with loose soil to ensure air permeability, and pour some water.
