Chapter 912 Someone Must Be Watching in the Dark
The next day, the house was still bustling, but Qiao Xuan became busy.
She had to quickly grow the tea seeds into seedlings.
The weather is still quite cold at the moment, but the bone-chilling chill in the air is gradually weakening. Although spring has not yet arrived, the breath of spring is gradually approaching.
Qiao Xuan had to accompany Shao Yunduan to Beijing, so she had no time left and could only hurry up to grow the seedlings. With the help of supernatural powers, she expected nothing would happen.
By the end of February or the beginning of March, she and Shao Yunduan had already left Shaoding Village. At that time, Butler Mu and Ding Erzhu sent people to transplant the tea seedlings, which was just the right time.
In addition to raising tea seedlings, we can also prepare for the planting of roses, roses, red and blue flowers, pomegranate flowers, osmanthus, etc.
Qiao Xuan wrote a letter to the provincial capital, asking Le Zhengxiao to help purchase these various seedlings. These kinds of flowers are all top-quality for making lipstick, so the quantity needed is very large.
This year, Qiao Xuan plans to expand the flower field by another 200 acres.
These saplings only need to be transported to the village before she and Shao Yunduan leave home. She will use her wood-related abilities to protect the saplings in advance, and later Yang Xiaoni, Taotao and the others can hire people to plant them slowly.
There are 52 beehives in total now. When the 200 acres of flowers and trees bloom, more beeswax will be needed to make lipstick, and the beeswax produced by 52 beehives may not be enough.
When the spring grass grows and the flowers bloom, we will have to continue to separate the beehives.
Fortunately, Qiao Xuan had taught Taotao and Shao Sanlang before, so they could divide the food themselves at home.
Without Xiaoqi and herself, Qiao Xuan repeatedly warned them not to go into the mountains to look for ready-made wild beehives, as that was not safe.
There are fifty-two beehives at home, and not every one of them can be divided, but it should be no problem to divide a dozen.
Qiao Xuan also told them that if there really wasn’t enough beeswax, then just forget it.
Let those flowers be wasted, and don't buy beeswax from outside.
Qiao Xuan didn't dare to underestimate the wisdom of the people of the time. The news of making lipstick would spread slowly and couldn't be kept secret for long.
However, the eldest branch of the Shao family now has a high status in Shaoding Village because of the school and the donation of clan land. In addition to Shao Yunduan's status and his relationship with the Lezheng family and the Xie family in the provincial capital, no one has the courage to plot so blatantly.
But there must be someone watching in secret.
If people knew that I bought a lot of beeswax, they might think of something from the shape of the lipstick.
Qiao Xuan still wants to monopolize the market for a few more years and make a fortune!
We are also going to plant about 200 acres of cassava this year. It is very easy to do and we can just plant them directly from cuttings.
The rest is to take care of the medicinal herbs and fruit trees in the garden.
You can go and see the papayas and dragon fruits that were planted years ago around the provincial capital before you leave.
Unfortunately, it was too late to plant sugarcane and pineapples on a large scale this year. Without Qiao Xuan's ability, even if Le Zhengxiao helped transport a large number of seedlings from the south, the plants might not survive, and even if they survived, they might not grow well.
In a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed.
After the lively Lantern Festival, the breath of spring has become stronger, and the sun has been very warm for many days. The more diligent people have started to prepare the land and carry manure to the fields.
Xiaoqi, Ding Jinshan and other recruits gathered in the county town on the first day of February and set out. After gathering together with people from various counties in the provincial capital, they headed north on February 3.
