Chapter 114 You Finally Know to Come Back

An Qingyu blinked curiously.

The gray-blue pupils reflected the warm winter sun and turned into a light blue as clear as glass.

Gu Xixi smiled and asked, "What are you thinking? Why did I buy so many fruit trees at once?"

An Qingyu scratched his head, "You must be a super landlord who is not showing his true colors!"

He then denied himself, "No, you should be a princess, or a princess!"

"What's the word you guys use? Incognito... Yes, incognito!"

According to the existing level of Pinellia ternata cultivation.

It will take at least three or four years for a two-year-old sapling to bear fruit after being planted.

In the years with the peak production season of the fruit, the amount of Pinellia fruit picked from each tree does not exceed 90 kilograms.

Not to mention the years with low yields and the loss of bad fruits caused by severe weather such as hail, continuous rain, etc.

If anyone were to gamble all his land and plant only the Pinellia fruit, he would inevitably lose money.

The long process of waiting for the fruits to bear is enough to drive you bankrupt.

Therefore, these talents from the Western Regions can only establish a seedling chamber of commerce, not a fresh fruit chamber of commerce.

How much wealth can withstand such hardship?

An Qingyu thought about it and felt that only princesses and princesses who were born without having to worry about their livelihood could be so willful.

Gu Xixi laughed, "Does the princess need to go out and buy the saplings herself? You guys turned her down before."

"I am just an ordinary farmer in Huachidu Village."

"As for landlords, I am barely the smallest one."

An Qingyu was dumbfounded, "Then how dare you sign a contract to buy a thousand trees!"

His feelings towards Gu Xixi went from initial curiosity to admiration and respect, and as they got to know each other, he had truly given his heart to her.

So he immediately got angry, "Xixi, you should know that if you sign and put your fingerprints on it, you will be left with nowhere to go!"

Gu Xixi was helpless, "What you want to say is, there is no turning back, right?"

An Qingyu nodded, "That's about what I mean!"

"Although I believe that you don't have to pay the remaining 60% of the payment."

"But can you afford the deposit up front and the investment later? It will drag you down!"

Gu Xixi could feel that An Qingyu really cared about her.

She also sincerely comforted him, "Don't worry."

"First, my fruit trees will not be planted and I will just wait for them to bear fruit."

"Second, the thousand trees don't belong to me alone,"

"Someone in the village wants to plant trees with me, so I want to try it too."

An Qingyu's brows twisted into a "川" shape. "Even if you are sure you can survive the first few years, what about others?"

"Most people come here for profit and gather together because of profit."

"You are willing to advance the capital for them, but are they willing to gamble with you?"

"Be careful not to end up with a thankless job!"

Gu Xixi smiled and said, "This time I used the idiom correctly."

An Qingyu frowned and said angrily, "Xixi~~!"

Gu Xixi quickly stopped smiling and said seriously, "Without the determination to burn my boats, I won't choose this kind of person."

"And if I want to accomplish this, I must naturally show the same determination."

"Don't worry, anyone who wants to receive a sapling from me in the future must sign a bond with me."

An Qingyu was still worried. He had been traveling around doing business with his father, brothers, and uncles since he was a child, and had seen many different kinds of variables.

"Okay, there's no risk in this regard."

"If they don't sign, or simply quit, where are you going to plant the extra saplings?"

Gu Xixi said, "This makes it even simpler."

She smiled slyly and mysteriously, "I have other places to plant trees, and the place is plenty big."

For such a big thing, she couldn't just choose one path, she had to at least make two preparations.

Mu Nanzhao, who was far away in Huachidu Village, received a secret letter.

The content is roughly that the person you entrusted to take care of did not come with the token.

But I already know who she is. She has stirred up the business world of the Yunling Hu people and has become a celebrity.

Now she was being taken care of by Hu Shang, and someone was following her around, so she felt like a fish in water. Even the mule she raised had gained weight.

Through my subordinates' secret observation, it seems that no special care is needed, so please rest assured. That's it.

Mu Nanzhao placed the letter on the oil lamp and looked at the flame with a frosty face.

He suddenly covered his lips and coughed a few times. When he withdrew his hand, there were a few spots of bright red on his palm, which was shocking.

But he stood up and washed his hands as if it was nothing strange.

In Yunling County, Gu Xixi sat on a mule cart and said with a smile to the crowd who were trying to keep her:

"No, I'm already three days past my scheduled return date."

"If you don't go back, your family will be worried."

Boss Geshu joked, "If we didn't know that Boss Gu was still unmarried, we would probably think that the one at home was too strict!"

Everyone laughed.

Some people said, "You are confused. Boss Gu is a woman. If she wants to get married, then she will get married."

Boss Geshu said, "Boss Gu is a heroine, so marrying a man is nothing!"

In Boss Geshu's hometown, there is a family that takes the mother's surname, which is better than marrying into the wife's family in the Daye Dynasty.

Gu Xixi smiled and said, "Stop making fun of me."

"We won't be apart for long this time. I will come to Yunling County again when spring comes and flowers bloom."

"I will host the party and invite everyone to come together."

Everyone agreed.

Yu Yuezhong from Anqing walked towards Gu Xixi and solemnly handed her a square mother-of-pearl lacquer box.

Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce fell silent and exchanged playful glances with each other.

Almost everyone has watched this kid from the An family grow up. Who can't see what he is thinking?

But Boss Gu seems to be...

Gu Xixi put the box into her bag and slapped An Qingyu on the shoulder.

An Qingyu was tall and strong, and Gu Xixi had to stand on tiptoe and stretch her arms to barely take a picture of him.

"Thank you for your care during this time and for your gift."

"I have told you all the methods of caring for the Pinellia fruit."

"Haven't you always wanted to prove to your father that you can stand on your own? You can do it!"

An Qingyu stared at Gu Xixi blankly when his shoulder was tapped.

An Qingyu didn't come back to his senses until the people from the Chamber of Commerce behind him coughed lightly to remind him.

"Oh, with your words, I will work hard!"

"You..." He stuttered, and after thousands of words, only three words remained, "Don't worry."

In fact, even if it was for the contract she signed with the Chamber of Commerce and for her ideals.

He will also devote all his energy to the Pinellia tree nursery.

Gu Xixi waved to everyone, and drove her mule cart away as she had done when she came.

In Huachidu Village, the sky is clear and the air is fresh, and the dark moon is like a hook.

Lai Fu drove the car to his home with familiarity, stopped outside the door and snorted a few times.

Gu Xixi smiled and patted it, "Are you homesick too?"

There were footsteps coming from inside the door, accompanied by the delicate meow of a cat.

Aunt Zhang answered the door excitedly, "Xixi? Is Xixi back?"

Gu Xixi smiled and said, "It's me, Auntie, please open the door."

The bolt was quickly pulled open, and Aunt Zhang stepped out holding an oil lamp. "My dear aunt, you finally know that you still have a home!"
