Chapter 1171: Growing Orchids

Ye Muyu laughed, "Mother, raising rabbits can have a bad smell; you could grow orchids instead. Many noble families like to cultivate orchids. When you've raised some, you can sell them, and they are worth much more than rabbits."

Chu Zhiwen also hastily sided with her, "Exactly, exactly, who keeps rabbits at home? Most importantly, this is a residence bestowed by the Emperor; we mustn't be careless."

"Growing flowers is good, pretty and they can be sold for money."

Madam Liu asked curiously, "Then how expensive can they get?"

"Even common orchids can be sold for ten taels of silver, while rare varieties can fetch hundreds to thousands of taels."

Madam Liu gasped in astonishment, "That expensive; it's not as if they're grown from gold."

"But, then again, if they're that costly, they must be rare and hence difficult to grow, right? Can I manage it?"

Chu Zhiwen chuckled, "Haven't you always thought you're quite capable? It's just a flower; what's there to be afraid of?"
