"Grandpa likes orchids. I was just thinking how nice it would be if there were more orchids. I didn't expect it to be all orchids!" Gu Xin didn't know the prices. Her grandfather also said that some orchids were very expensive, so she wasn't surprised that Gu Nian mentioned millions.
Gu Nian: "...You really are a lucky charm, everything you wish for comes true!"
“I’m not.” Gu Xin shook her head, then laughed, “But I know a lucky charm, hehe.”
“There are so many orchids in this field. If they’re really valuable, it’s not right for us to just leave them out like this!” Cai Xiaolian said hesitantly, looking at the orchids in full bloom.
“Let’s give it to Grandpa! Grandpa will like it!” Gu Xin said.
"What if this is really expensive, and Grandpa asks us where we got it? What should we say then?" Gu Nian asked with a smile.
"This... um..." Gu Xin frowned, and after a long while, she said, "Let's just say we dug it up in the mountains!"
"We've dug up so many in the mountains! This variety could fetch at least a hundred taels of silver if sold to a wealthy family." At this moment, Gu Shouxin came over after washing the dishes and said.
"Huh? So expensive?" Gu Xin scratched her head, then, as if remembering something, added, "Dad, Mom, Sister, we got the seeds from Master Zhou, shouldn't we give some to him?"
"You just got the seeds and you're already going to send him flowers? Do you think he'll believe that?" Gu Nian said with a helpless smile.
"Then, shall we put them in Houyanggou first, and place two pots in our bedroom? We can also send two pots to Grandpa, saying that we dug them up in the mountains. The rest can be kept here at the old house for now, and we can move them to the manor once we get the land deed?" Gu Xin thought for a moment and said.
"Once we get the land deed, let's go to the prefectural city! Let's see if we can sell these flowers. If we can, it'll be good to get some silver," Gu Shouxin said after examining several types of orchids.
"Going to the prefectural city is great! I want to go, I want to go!" Gu Nian was the first to agree.
She had visited all the cosmetic shops in Taoyuan County, but wasn't very satisfied. They didn't give her any inspiration for making lipsticks. Since Tainan was a bigger city, she wanted to check out the cosmetic shops there.
“Sure! We can also take some shampoo and conditioner sets to the prefectural city to sell and see how it goes. But we have so much to do, we can’t go and come back on the same day,” Cai Xiaolian said.
"Let's take a day off! Isn't Auntie in the prefectural city? Let's visit her and have her show me around," Gu Nian said.
"Alright, it's decided then. Pack the shampoo and conditioner sets to be sold in the next couple of days, and the broker should be able to bring the land deeds over in the next day or two. I'll go for a walk around the back mountain tomorrow and look for a way to get directly to the estate from there. When I come back, I'll bring some orchids to give to your grandfather." Gu Shouxin nodded, and that was the decision.
After making the decision, everyone picked the carrots. There were quite a few pickling jars at home, so they would wash them clean tomorrow and put them in the jars to add color to the brine.
Besides the carrots, they transplanted all the flowers into pots, but didn't pick the dragon fruit and zucchini.
After clearing out six more plots of land and recording these varieties, they took out six more seeds in order and planted them. They then watered the plots with water infused with jade beads before the family went to sleep peacefully.
In less than two days, all thirty kinds of seeds were cleared, and everyone was quite satisfied with the results.
