I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

Chapter 173 Planting Tea Trees

"Everyone, rest assured. Since I said so, I must have prepared these. You can order the saplings from me. As for how to plant them, I will write them down. If you have any questions, you can come to me. If I'm not here, you can find Yan Yan. I will collect all the tea leaves grown by then."

"How long will it take to make back the money?"

"As long as we can harvest, we can get our money back in the year of harvest. Of course, the harvest time of two-year-old seedlings and five-year-old seedlings is different. The former can be harvested in two to three years, while the latter can only be harvested in one to two years."

In fact, this is the time Zhao Qiqi planned to calculate after using the spiritual spring to accelerate it.

Everyone present was in deathly silence.

"Everyone, if you buy tea tree seeds, you can ask me for pepper seeds when the time comes. I will also buy these peppers."

These words were so tempting. Everyone knew that this pepper was easy to grow and sold at a high price. Li Yuzhu had grown it before, which made them jealous.

“How much does it cost to plant this tree?”

"The small ones are ten cents each, and the big ones are thirty cents each."

"It's so expensive."

"Yeah, it's too expensive. One big plant is almost a day's salary, and it takes a long time to collect the money. It's not cost-effective, not cost-effective."

"That's right. We haven't grown it before, so who knows if we can succeed?"

Seeing that the head of the village had finally arrived, Zhao Qiqi began to make promises to everyone.

"Now, many people have jobs in my workshop. I'm not being arrogant, but I can say for sure that most people working in the workshop make more money than they did doing farm work before. But now that everyone has some money, why do I want everyone to go back to farm work?"

"Because I want to make our village rich. Now working in the workshop, of course there is no problem with having enough to eat, but how to get rich? We need to create some more ways to make money. At the beginning, we gave everyone time to do farm work, but with the current development, everyone is gradually unwilling to do the hard and tiring farm work. In essence, we still don't earn enough."

"I hope everyone knows that the purchase price of our peppers is about 15 wen per pound. The effort required is not as much as growing rice, but the income is much higher than rice. After the tea trees are planted, we can harvest about one pound, which can be sold for 15 wen."

"What? Did I hear correctly?"

"My God, this pound is only fifteen cents, and the tea leaves still need to be picked, what a hassle."

"That's right, I don't know if it can survive."

"What are you arguing about? Let the other person finish his speech!" The head of the village shouted loudly, asking everyone to stop complaining.

"Although this tree can only produce about one kilogram, it can be harvested three to four times a year, which is about thirty-five cents. Tea trees only need slight pruning, fertilization and some measures to prevent diseases and pests. There is not much to do. It is equivalent to picking them when they grow up."

"Of course, it's everyone's choice whether to plant or not. This is just my idea. If you want to plant, you can find Yan Yan to register later. If you don't want to plant, I won't force you."

Zhao Qiqi wanted to go to a quieter place to talk with the village head, so he gestured for him to go out.

"Li Zheng, actually, the reason I planted tea trees is not just to harvest tea leaves, but I also want to turn Gujia Village into a tourist village."

"Qiqi, just tell me what you think. You are a person with ideas, so why not speak out and let us discuss it first."

"It's like this. Our place is located in nature, with beautiful mountains and rivers and leisurely scenery. It is the place most desired by literati and dignitaries. Those people are used to luxury and confusion, and occasionally need a quiet and pleasant place to relax. The first step is to plan a place to plant tea trees, one for viewing, and the other for turning into money. Build some inns here, but unlike ordinary inns, we need some special houses. I will also provide some recipes for everyone as our special food to attract everyone to come here, and some handicraft projects, such as making soap. What do you think?"

The village head thought it was interesting, but also worried: "Of course there is no problem with this kind of tea, but it's a tourist village, you can try it, but you have to take it slowly. I'm worried that if the road is difficult to walk on, no one will be willing to come."

"Of course, I have thought of all this. Now I am just giving you an overview of my plan, but I will take my time with the specific planning projects."

Zhao Qiqi knew that the head of the village was willing to do so. "I also know that everything is difficult at the beginning. You still need to convince everyone about the tea tree business. In addition, the income from growing peppers will definitely be much higher than the current income."

The head of the village waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do. It is my job to ensure that everyone has enough food to eat. Since you opened a workshop, our village has become better and better. I really want to thank you."

"mother!"

Zhao Qiqi turned around and saw the children calling her.

Gu Fanggui also looked at her. Zhao Qiqi felt it was a little strange and didn't know what they talked about.

As she approached, Gu Yansui said, "Mom, we all heard what you said. I can also grow tea trees."

Zhao Qiqi was a little surprised, but also very pleased: "Okay."

"Yan Yan, have you heard what I told you? I'll leave the recording to you."

"I know mother."

Zhao Qiqi could see that Gu Fanggui was about to leave. After all, he was a very busy man, so there was no way he could stay here for so long.

"Mom, are you going to the county?"

She was looking for her son before, and now that she found him, she felt relieved. How could she let her son come to see her all day long?

"No need. I have other things to do in the village. You and Lin'er can go to the county together."

Zhao Qiqi shook her head. As long as Old Lady Gu didn't go, there was no way she could stay in the same carriage with Gu Fanggui.

"Gu Lin, you are busy, so go back first. I still have to stay in the village to help."

He heard everything Zhao Qiqi had just said, which greatly changed his impression of Zhao Qiqi's abilities.

"Ah."

Gu Fanggui got on the carriage. A group of people were still squatting at the entrance of the village and watching. After the people left, they came forward in a crowd and surrounded Old Lady Gu.

Zhao Qiqi took the children away as she had something else to do.

"Narcissus, do you want to come with me to the county to work? In the shop I bought."

Gu Xiaohua was not that steady after all. After much thought, Zhao Qiqi felt that Ye Shuixian would be a more suitable person to go.

"Of course, if you feel that you and Dazhu are separated and you don't want to go, that's fine too."

"Go! Auntie, I'm willing to go!"

She had never been to the county in her life, and she longed to go higher and farther. If she went to the county, she could also stay with her aunt.
