Yuezheng Xiao even sent a letter, telling them how well the lipsticks were selling, asking her how much longer it would be before the next lot of lipsticks was available. He wanted to get as many as he could.
Qiao Xuan wasn’t surprised about the popularly-sold lipsticks. She asked Shao Yunduan to write a letter back to Yuezheng Xiao, telling him that after twenty days or so, they could come to fetch the lipsticks again, which should be around 500 or 600 in total.
She further asked him to mention that the tea mountains had been found and the leaves should be transplanted by the end of this year, around New Year. In autumn next year or so, they would get some amount of tea leaves to be given to him but he still needed to find a proper processor.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “We will definitely have some amount of tea next year, and the tea trees in the mountains should not be touched, but we can pick some when we go to the mountains next.”
She had her superpower and could make sure the tea trees lived on after being moved. But the trees had been in the mountains for so many years a_nd they didn’t need to transplant them. They were born and grew in the mountains, and they might produce better quality leaves there itself.
Shao Yunduan agreed and smiled. “Ok, that is good. Should I tell him about the mushrooms?
The shiitakes and wooden ears had started to grow very fast. There were not many snow fungus but were still growing vividly.
There were not many wild- growing snow fungus and Qiao Xuan decided not to find any more. She decided to breed some on her own for the moment.
She smiled. “You can remind him that the purchase should be done by the end of this year.”
She further added. “We would need some more laborers to work on our tea mountains. Uncle Erzhu and the Zhou Family might not be enough. What about getting some more staff?”
Shao Yunduan thought. “I don’t think we can find any suitable ones in the town.”
The town was so small and very few laborers were available. The rich families only hired contractors.
In big towns, there were endless business people and rich families who required such staff.
There was almost no department to recruit such staff. Some people were working part time, who worked on occasions. She decided to get someone from the province, and pay the middle men.
More importantly, Shao Yunduan also hoped that their purchase of staff would not be revealed to the Qiao Family, so that was another trouble.
Not everyone had a tight mouth.
Qiao Xuan agreed. The town was too small to meet every need. Oh man, she had become so arrogant as to not like the town any more.
Suddenly, Qiao Xuan smiled. “Darling, what about we travel to the province? You can tell Young Master Yuezheng that when he sends someone to fetch the lipsticks, we would like to tag along. It must be bustling in the province and many more things are available there. Let’s see if we can get some appropriate laborers ourselves. You can buy some books as well and visit the famous colleges in the province and exchange opinions with them, sounds good?” Shao Yunduan was startled. But after a moment, he was quite motivated. He also sensed that those people at Minghua College were not on the same level as he was. But the province was different. There were always better people outside.
Maybe the trip would help him become better?
“Darling, let’s just go there!” Qiao Xuan tugged his arms and coaxed him happily. ‘You are going there in the future to attend the examination, and we can visit the place first to check it out..”
