The villagers looked at the cartloads of saplings in confusion.
"Heihu, why did your family buy so many saplings?" asked a gossipy Aunt Zhou.
"I don't know either...my niece bought it..." He Heihu scratched his head. To be honest, he still didn't know what Xiaomi was going to do.
"Oh, what a waste! They bought so many saplings and I don't know what they are for. It's a waste of money!" Aunt Zhou took a look and said with heartache.
He Heihu, who was originally talking to her, turned pale the next second when he heard her say that. "Whether she's ruining the family or not, you don't need to tell me. My niece is capable. She opened her own shop in town. It's very big and has many customers every day. My niece does whatever she wants."
After He Heihu finished speaking, he did not give the other party a chance to refute and went to the other side to direct the guys to work.
Aunt Zhou was annoyed and was about to get angry, but when she was about to speak, He Heihu walked away, making her so angry that she stomped her feet.
Others heard the conversation between Aunt Zhou and He Heihu and began to whisper.
Yi Yami heard some of what He Heihu said in front and silently curled the corners of her mouth. It doesn’t matter what others do, what’s most important is the family who protects them.
By the time Butler Yang finished unloading, the sun was already high in the sky.
"Come, Butler Yang, have some water." Yi Yami handed over the water. The other servants poured water for the other servants.
"Thank you." Butler Yang thanked him, took the water and drank it in big gulps.
"Butler Yang, how is this fee calculated?" Yi Yami asked.
"The young master asked me to bring saplings this time. There are about 1,000 large saplings, 2,000 medium saplings, 3,000 small saplings, and the seeds you wanted. Here they are." Butler Yang handed over a purse that was neither too big nor too small.
"Is that all?" Yiyami looked at the purse, a little dissatisfied.
"This is just a little bit that the young master collected after searching many places. This little bit is much more valuable than those Miao golds." said Butler Yang.
Yi Yami scratched his head. Damn, these might be very expensive.
"Young Master said that we want to have long-term cooperation with Yi Ji, and the prices we offer are all lower than the market price. The market price of that large seedling is 150 wen, and Young Master said it should be 100 wen. The medium seedling is 120 wen, and Young Master said it should be 80 wen. The small seedling is 100 wen, and Young Master said it should be 50 wen. These seeds are more precious, so they are counted as 90 taels. So the total here is 500 taels, Miss Yi." Butler Yang slowly explained the price of each seedling, and finally came up with a total price.
Yi Yami calculated it in her mind and found it was correct. She smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I don't have that much cash on me. Here are three hundred taels. You can keep them first. I will send the remaining two hundred taels to Yang's house when I get back."
"Okay, if you are not free, you can also notify me to pick it up." said Butler Yang.
Yi Yami smiled and said, "Go back and thank your young master for me."
Butler Yang nodded. After drinking the water, he felt better and took his servants back.
He Heihu learned from He Shoushan that Yi Yami had just spent 1,200 taels to buy three mountains and now spent another 500 taels to buy a bunch of saplings. He felt a little dizzy.
"Xiaomi, come in for a moment." He Heihu asked eight children to guard these precious seedlings outside to prevent someone from taking advantage of them. He would feel painful if someone stole one.
Yi Yami entered the house and saw that all the members of the He family had serious expressions.
"What's wrong with you?" Yiyami asked in confusion.
"Xiaomi, I don't mean to say anything, but can you discuss what you want to do with us first?" He Heihu spoke first.
Yi Yami understood immediately that the He family was worried about the money.
"Oh, I'm busy, and I want to finish it as soon as possible. Besides, it will take some time for the seedlings to grow, and the results will not be harvested so quickly. I finally met a noble person who knows where I can find what I want, so I think everything is done, and the rest, I just have to do it as I say." Yiyami explained.
"We know you are a capable person, but you can't spend it all at once. 1,700 taels! No matter how good your business is, how can you spend money like this?" He Shoushan spoke softly. Although his words showed that he felt sorry for the money, it was not difficult to hear that he felt sorry for her.
"Oh, it's okay, grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, and aunt, don't worry. I earned this money relatively easier than others. I have my own ways, so don't worry." Yiyami comforted them.
Zhao Hongying wanted to say something, but held it back.
"Okay, don't be so serious. Now let me tell you my plan. Please listen carefully." Yiyami said with a smile.
The entire He family listened attentively.
"This is what I thought. The soil on the mountain is acidic. I noticed this when my grandfather took me to the mountain before. There are many economic crops suitable for growing in acidic soil, one of which is tea tree. Oh, yes, it's the pile outside. Then I asked someone to bring back some seeds of other crops, and I will sow them after I cultivate them." Yiyami paused.
He Heihu suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "You plan to let us plant tea trees, pick the tea leaves and sell them, right?"
Yi Yami snapped his fingers and said, "Uncle is so smart!"
He Heihu thought that tea was indeed a rare thing. It was usually drunk by rich people. Ordinary people would also buy some tea leaves, and even a little bit of it would be very expensive. Unless there were distinguished guests at home, they would not take it out easily.
"It takes some time for tea trees to grow. So I thought that we should plant them as soon as possible so that we can reap the rewards faster in the future. Grandpa, grandma, no matter whether my cousin wants to pursue a career in politics or other paths in the future, it will not work without money at home. Besides, Jinlu is grown up and needs a dowry when she gets married. The elderly in the family need money to treat typhoid and colds. Anyway, as long as there is money in the pocket, I will not be worried. So I thought about it and decided that planting tea trees and selling tea leaves is one way. I have investigated the area within a hundred miles and no one is planting them. Our tea comes from Jiangnan, so why can't we grow our own tea? Instead of others making money from us, we might as well make money from others." Yiyami's words touched the He family.
