Upon learning that his employer was going to open a shop in the city again the next day, he quickly inquired about her location and went to Xiaoqingshan to request an audience.
After listening to the old man's story and his anxious questions, Yun Zhiyi frowned.
Upon seeing this, the old man's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He quickly said...
"We were too greedy, please forgive us, sir."
Yun Zhiyi frowned not because she was unhappy that the other party coveted the melon seeds; she had just casually picked some herself.
Others are happy to plant her because they can enjoy a peaceful life.
She shook her head. “Selling you seeds is not out of the question, but as I said before, this crop is suitable for planting in sandy soil. Moreover, food is the foundation of the people, and we cannot waste farmland for this. If you really want to plant it, you need to cultivate new land and it must not affect the planting of grain.”
Upon hearing this, the old man was overjoyed and repeatedly bowed to express his gratitude.
"Don't worry, boss. Grain is our lifeline, and we will definitely not be biased. We are only thinking that each family should plant an extra acre of melon seeds to increase their income."
Yun Zhiyi smiled and said, "You all know what I'm talking about. I've priced this batch of raw sunflower seeds at 100 wen per jin. Outside, I'll limit purchases to one jin per person, while within the farm, it's ten jin per person. However, if you're not buying them for consumption but just for planting, about five jin should be enough. I'll have Lao Liu teach you how to cultivate and plant them."
The old man was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
One jin of seeds costs 100 wen, and one mu (unit of land area) requires five jin, which would cost 500 wen.
It might be a bit expensive, but if it can be successfully planted, the cost of the seeds will be negligible after the harvest per acre.
Not to mention, such an opportunity is rare.
Yun Zhiyi smiled and said, "You guys are quite quick-witted. If you're going to plant it, you have to do it as soon as possible. This plant loves sunlight, and time is already a bit tight. If you plant it quickly, you can still harvest it before the first frost in mid-October."
The old man was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and could only repeatedly say yes.
Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly said.
"Master, if we accept these melon seeds, could you please take them to town to sell?"
They knew that their employer owned a restaurant and other shops in the city.
But we don’t know exactly what we’ll be selling. However, with so many sunflower seeds, it’s clear that we’ll be putting them out there to sell.
If they also go to sell, wouldn't they be competing with the owner for business? That's absolutely unacceptable.
He thought that if they couldn't sell in the city, they could join forces to form a small caravan and have people transport the goods to other cities and towns to sell before winter.
It just so happens that the second son of the Li family is a merchant, and judging by the time, he will probably come back before autumn.
He travels around a lot all year round, so he should know a lot.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the landlord say...
"Of course, it's up to you. If the quality is good and you don't want to sell it to others, you can sell it to me for eighty coins a pound."
The old man was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"Eighty coins? Per pound?"
Yun Zhiyi thought he thought it was too little. "I price these melon seeds at one hundred coins for raw seeds outside. You can also sell them in the city at this price. However, there is one thing I need to make clear: the price you sell them for outside must not be lower than one hundred coins."
The old man gasped in shock.
So that's what the owner meant by the price of one hundred coins.
He thought that 100 coins was the price for the seeds.
The sunflower seeds that were originally intended to be sold were also priced at this level.
They had previously thought that even if they could sell a pound for twenty coins, they would still make a lot of money.
Who would have thought it would cost a hundred coins directly?
Can these melon seeds really be sold for 100 coins?
The old man didn't understand any of this and was quite bewildered, but he understood what his employer meant by selling it to him, and he couldn't help but get excited, his beard trembling.
"Can we really sell you sunflower seeds?"
Yun Zhiyi chuckled, "Didn't I say that? But I have to consider the quality. I only accept high-quality melon seeds like these, so you have to take good care of them. They'll be eighty coins a pound, and I'll accept as many as you bring."
She didn't grow these sunflower seeds primarily to eat as snacks.
It's still about pressing oil.
Although the melon seeds are not produced in the spiritual fields of the space.
However, since she always uses the water she condenses and occasionally uses her supernatural abilities to accelerate growth, the quality of the seeds is no less than that of those planted in the space.
As long as they take good care of it, even if they can't get more than 600 catties per mu, they should still be able to get 500 catties.
The quality is also slightly inferior, but she couldn't possibly explain everything clearly.
Anyway, as long as you put your heart into it, it won't be too bad; it's just enough for pressing oil.
After receiving the answer from Yun Zhiyi, the old man excitedly returned to tell the people who were secretly waiting outside the green hills the good news.
Upon hearing the old man's account, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Eighty coins a catty? Is the owner really accepting it?"
"We'll take them, but we must ensure the quality is the same as what we have now. So everyone needs to learn from Dashan and take good care of them. Whether you can make a lot of money and have a good New Year this year depends on yourselves. The boss has already given you the opportunity."
The old man smiled broadly, gripping his cane, his eyes moist.
After the others recovered from their shock, they all gasped in astonishment.
Eighty coins a pound! My goodness!
Even if you harvest 400 jin from one mu, you can still earn more than 30 taels of silver, even if you don't expect 600 jin!
If you take good care of them, you can get five or six hundred catties per mu, just like the landlord's, and you'll make even more money.
Someone couldn't help but ask again, "The owner really said eighty coins per catty, not eighty coins for ten catties? You didn't hear wrong, did you?"
The old man initially thought he had misheard, but now he laughed and tapped his grandson's leg with his cane.
"I'm not that hard of hearing."
Once they confirmed that it really was eighty coins, the group exchanged glances, then excitedly raised their hands and shouted excitedly.
At the foot of the mountain, Yun Zhiyi listened to the sounds in the distance and couldn't help but chuckle.
Upon hearing this news, You Xinyue in the village couldn't help but feel envious.
It is clear that the Yun family treated these farmers very well and with exceptional favor.
Only a group of lazybones forced to work in the mountains were filled with resentment.
At this time, the Li family members, who were still in the city, were unaware that something good was happening at the farm.
However, they were also excited and happy at that moment.
After seven consecutive days of treatment, Li Shurong and Li Erhua's condition visibly improved.
After taking the Rejuvenation Pill given to them by Yun Zhiyi for three consecutive days, both of them recovered very well from their internal and external injuries.
Aside from still being a little weak, Li Erhua can now move around freely like a normal person.
The only problem now is the burn on my face.
However, the Rejuvenating Pill also has a restorative and revitalizing effect on external injuries.
So although her burns were not completely healed, they had already scabbed over.
At first, the doctor only said that the scarring would be quite severe.
But as time went on and the wound changed, the doctor changed his tune again and again.
By the third day, it had already turned into a scab. After the scab falls off, I will apply the medicine carefully for a period of time. Although it cannot be said that it will be completely restored to its original state, it should not leave obvious scars.
The most likely difference is in skin color, which they will need to take care of themselves afterward.
