Due to the significant expansion of the flower field this year and the hiring of many villagers to assist, the secret of the flower field could no longer be kept hidden for much longer.
After the discussion, Taotao and the others didn’t find it too troublesome. They carefully stored away the lipstick making tools, took them home that day, and brought them back the following day. This way, they ensured the tools wouldn’t be easily stolen.
The villagers were quite curious about the floral field, considering the number of people being hired to help. While they couldn’t fathom how the first section of the Shao Family had earned so much money, they knew that planting these flowers was undoubtedly a lucrative venture.
People inquired about it, some even asking outrightly. However, no one dared to act against the Shao Family’s standing in the village. The Land Officer made it clear that any attempt to harm the first section of the Shao Family would be thoroughly investigated, and the perpetrator would be expelled from Shaoding Village.
Moreover, apart from the floral fields, the first section of the Shao Family was involved in cultivating cassavas and managing the tea fields of The Zhang Family. They hired villagers to assist them and paid them well. Additionally, there were various odd jobs available, offering a great way for the villagers to supplement their income.
The villagers understood that ruining this arrangement was out of the question, and they respected and cherished the opportunities provided by the Shao Family.
Moreover, Ms. Fang was not one to be underestimated. With the strength and unity of Shao Sanlang, Shao Dalang, and the sisters-in-law, anyone contemplating doing something harmful wouldn’t dare to make a move.
Taotao took great care of the floral field and proudly showed it to Qiao Xuan with a smile.
Qiao Xuan observed the flowers and infused them with a touch of her superpower, ensuring they grew stronger and more vibrant, storing energy to thrive even more vigorously.
While she was home for a few days, she knew she could attend to the flowers again in a few days’ time.
The floral fields held significant importance to her, and she realized that relying solely on Chunyu and the other servants might not be sufficient. She decided to hire additional trustworthy servants as a precautionary measure.
Having a backup plan was essential in case of any unforeseen events.
She intended to discuss this with Ms. Fang and seek First Madame and Yuezheng Xiao’s assistance in selecting reliable families when they went to the province.
Qiao Xuan remained relatively unconcerned. With her Mother-in-law’s presence and the contract in hand, she didn’t worry too much about tricky buyers.
However, the situation at home was becoming less convenient due to the lack of extra living space. Observing the floral field, she decided to build a few houses nearby, enough to accommodate 10 or 20 people. This would make it much easier for Taotao and Shao Sanlang in the future.
As the scale of beekeeping would continue to expand the following year, they would need numerous beeswax for the production of lipsticks. It was crucial to handle beekeeping within their family rather than entrusting it to others. If Zhang Village couldn’t accommodate them anymore, they would consider doing the same thing elsewhere.
Furthermore, they could involve the villagers in flower planting as well, allowing them to sell the flowers themselves to avoid any potential losses. Qiao Xuan also planned to teach the villagers how to cultivate shiitake mushrooms, wooden ears, tea tree mushrooms, and snow fungus. These products could be made into dry goods, and she could seek help from the Yuezheng Family. If the Yuezheng Family wasn’t interested in purchasing these goods, they could connect with other businessmen willing to buy them.
The ultimate goal was to ensure that when they enjoyed the profits, the villagers could also benefit by having a share of the rewards. This way, the entire village, as well as their family, would prosper together, creating a mutually beneficial situation.
