Just as they arrived at the canteen, Village Chief Lin went to ring the bell to call the villagers to eat. While they were eating, Xia Hua told Village Chief Lin about their impending departure.
The clansmen were somewhat surprised when they heard this, but they quickly became indifferent. After all, the two sisters-in-law often left, and now they were just going to a farther place and spending more time outside. There was no need to make a fuss.
Village Chief Lin put down his chopsticks. “Sister-in-law, you can go to the capital. I will take care of things in the village. But since you are going so far away and staying for so long, do you want to take a few people with you? Even if they don’t protect you, they can help carry things and drive the carriage.”
Xia Hua refused outright, "We're going there on business, not for fun. We won't be taking a carriage, we'll be riding horses. You can just stay in the village. After dinner tonight, we'll distribute the profits from the workshop during this period."
"Also, you'll be coming with us to Jinnan City tomorrow. Huahua and I have bought two estates there. The crops there will be ready for harvest in two months. The farmers will get 30% of the produce, and you can take the rest back to your village."
"And Wu, you cook, cook more. I'll pack some in bags to take with me. If we can't find an inn, I'll just heat it up and eat it."
She could make it herself, but it was troublesome, and the tribespeople were quite skilled. Once it was done, she would put some in a large bowl and store it in the warehouse. Anyway, they wouldn't keep an eye on her all the time, so it was up to her to decide how to take it.
Village Chief Lin looked at her in surprise, "Sister-in-law, when did you buy this estate? I've never heard you mention it. But it's good to have an estate, don't worry. I'll definitely bring people to check on it when the crops are harvested."
Others were also pleased to hear this, even though it wasn't their turn.
“It’s nothing special that we bought it before. I just said that you can handle the village affairs. Hurry up and eat. Da Wa, you guys need to hurry up and sort out the account books this afternoon, so that we don’t waste time if we can’t figure it out.”
"Yes, Auntie, we understand."
“Yes, Mother!” said several of the workers in charge of managing the workshop.
After finishing their meal, An Shuyi and Xia Hua went up the mountain without taking anything with them. When the villagers saw them, they would just assume they were walking around in the village.
This time, the two went to the mountain on the right. The village's water was drawn down from this mountain. They didn't stop at the outer edge of the mountain, but went straight into the depths of the mountain. They didn't want to find much; they just wanted to find one or two things and sell the seeds that could be used to grow wheat.
Actually, wheat seeds also exist in this world, but the two of them were worried that they wouldn't be as good as the seeds in the trading system, so they thought of buying them from the trading system.
As soon as they reached the depths of the mountain, An Shuyi saw a tea tree. She placed her hand on it and found it to be another mother tree of Da Hong Pao tea, but it could only be sold for 1,500 taels of silver, not as big as the one they had planted in their house.
"Huahua, this is a large red tea tree, are you selling it?" She was a little reluctant. Actually, she had a small Ganoderma lucidum in her warehouse, which could also be sold for two thousand taels of silver, but Huahua didn't mention it, and she didn't mention it either.
After all, the Ganoderma lucidum is useful. They had nothing to do in the afternoon, so they could come up the mountain to look for it. If they couldn't find it, they could sell it. Most importantly, one Ganoderma lucidum could not guarantee the appearance of wheat seeds, so they thought of coming to look for more.
Xia Hua looked at the tea tree in front of her and said, "I'll dig it up. You sell the Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse. If the wheat seeds haven't appeared yet, then sell this tea tree." If they still haven't appeared, then they'll have to go back.
It took them an hour just to climb the mountain, and another hour to get back. She couldn't guarantee that they would be able to find any more precious flowers, plants, or saplings in the remaining time.
An Shuyi nodded, opened the trading system, sold the Ganoderma lucidum, and her balance increased by another two thousand taels, becoming seventy-two thousand five hundred taels. She then opened the purchase section again, her mind still on the wheat seeds.
After clicking, she began to look through the seedlings: peony seedlings, bird of paradise seedlings, calla lilies, epiphyllum, tulips, hyacinths, lotus, hydrangeas, roses, and wheat seeds. Only when she saw the last one did she feel relieved.
The previous ones were all flower seedlings and flower seeds. I thought the last one would also be a flower seedling, but it turned out to be wheat seeds. Now I don't need to sell the mother tree, Da Hong Pao; I can take it home and plant it in the yard.
As expected, the trading system is the most considerate. This time, it actually gave her ten more items. However, she sold so many items before, but could only buy more than seventy kinds of items. She couldn't say anything, for fear that the trading system would be dissatisfied and give her more recipes.
Let the trading system disappear, take out the hoe, and dig tea trees with Huahua. "Huahua, this time we can buy ten kinds of things, including wheat seeds. You can rest assured. When we get back, I will buy more. Give me more sacks from your place, pack them up, and tomorrow we will take people to haul the seeds to the village."
She has to sell more—two farms, and her village. Although she still needs to reserve some land in the village to grow vegetables, she still needs a lot of seeds, especially in the farms, where she needs even more.
Xia Hua shook her head. "We'll bring the seeds back to the village and leave them there. When we need to plant them, we can have Mu Tou and the others deliver them to the farmers. I don't feel comfortable leaving so many seeds with them."
One should always be wary of others, but never harbor malicious intent. She won't harm anyone, but one must still be cautious. Otherwise, if one is not careful, the losses will be all one's own. Although it's a bit troublesome to bring her back and then take her away, there are horse-drawn carts and oxcarts in the village, so it can be taken away in a day without taking too long.
“Okay, then let Changwu and the others bring it back tomorrow and put it in the newly built canteen, is that alright?” An Shuyi asked. The canteen had already been paved with stone slabs today, and it was just waiting to dry completely before it could be used. It would be dry and usable overnight and tomorrow.
“Okay,” Xia Hua nodded. “Then buy more, just in case there isn’t enough to plant later. Also, buy some vegetable seeds. Buy whatever vegetables you like to eat.”
"I'll buy them when I get back, and then I'll pack them up and put them in the warehouse so I don't have to pack them up tomorrow. By the way, besides wheat seeds, the only other things I can buy this time are flower seedlings and seeds. I'll buy some of those too. When we come back, every household in this village will probably be full of flowers."
Moreover, this flower has other uses. It can be made into perfume and so on. When there are enough flowers, the tribespeople will pick the petals and make perfume so that the skin care workshop can add more products.
"Then let's go back and buy some, and hurry up and dig up the tea trees!" Then the two stopped talking and focused on digging up the tea trees. Soon the tea trees were dug up, but instead of putting them in the warehouse, Xia Hua carried them directly on her shoulder.
"Let's go back to the village." When the two arrived at the village, it was not yet time for dinner, so they went back to the house first. Xia Hua soaked the tea trees in water until they were thoroughly wet before planting them. When they entered the left wing, An Shuyi started buying wheat seeds, and Xia Hua was responsible for packing them into sacks.
