417 Strange Tree
After calming down, Liu Shuan started talking about the vegetables in the village.
“In a few days, every family’s vegetables will be ready. Xi, have you found a sales channel?” This was what Liu Shuan was most worried about. Although the vegetables were growing very well, without a sales channel, their efforts would be in vain.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Liu. Sweet Dew Fruit Store will be in charge of selling everything.”
Qin Xi explained, “As you know, Sweet Dew is very famous now and the number of people buying from it has increased. Moreover, they’re all rich people, so it’s most suitable to sell the vegetables at the Sweet Dew Fruit Shop.”
“Then how should we split the money?” Liu Shuan asked in embarrassment.
At the mention of money, Liu Shuan felt that it was very unfair to Qin Xi. After all, be it the vegetable greenhouse or the vegetable seeds, they were all provided by Qin Xi.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Liu. I won’t ask for much. Let’s do it 60-40. I’ll get 60% of the profit. After all, transportation fees, labor fees, and management fees of the Sweet Dew Store are all very expensive. After paying all that, I don’t earn much. What do you think?”
“Sure, I have no objections to that.” Liu Shuan quickly added.
Previously, he had discussed with a few villagers in private that as long as Qin Xi gave them 30%, they would be satisfied. However, now that Qin Xi offered 40%, how could Liu Shuan not be excited?
Qin Xi smiled. “When the vegetables are ready and sold, I believe it won’t be long before every family can afford coal.”
It was winter but the coal was too expensive. In the countryside, people were usually reluctant to buy coal and could only burn timber to keep themselves warm.
Moreover, there were only two months before the New Year. At that time, the New Year goods would also be a problem for the villagers. Now that they could earn a sum of money, it was undoubtedly a timely help for the villagers.
Besides, back then, she had promised Liu Shuan that she would let the villagers live a good life and transform Shangwan Village into the number one village in the world.
Now, the vegetables were just a small step. Next, as long as the tea trees were planted, the village would undergo a tremendous change.
After sending Liu Shuan off, Qin Xi and Jiu Yuan went to the orchard at the back of the mountain. She wanted to set up a spirit gathering array for the orchard.
It was winter now, and the fruit trees were in hibernation. Fortunately, they were nourished by vitality water, and the trees were bearing fruits despite the cold winter.
When they arrived at the orchard, Qin Xi asked Jiu Yuan to help protect her. She formed a seal with both hands and chanted the incantation. Her hands waved non-stop, and the True Qi in her body circulated crazily. Soon, a huge Spirit Gathering Array was formed.
Not long after, dense spiritual energy surged into the orchard, enveloping everything.
After doing all of this, beads of sweat appeared on Qin Xi’s forehead. Such a huge spirit gathering array had almost consumed all the true Qi in her body. It would probably take her at least three to five days to recover.
Just as she was about to rest, Jiu Yuan, who was guarding her, was surprised to discover that a large and lush tree suddenly grew out of the depths of the orchard.
He muttered softly, “That place seems to be where the tree that doesn’t bloom or bear fruit is planted.”
“What happened?”
Qin Xi wiped the sweat off her forehead and asked weakly.
Jiu Yuan floated down and said, “Do you still remember that strange tree that doesn’t bloom or bear fruit? I saw it grow into a towering tree.”
Qin Xi raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with curiosity. “Let’s go and take a look!”
