Chapter 481: Chapter 482: He is Ashamed Chapter 481: Chapter 482: He is Ashamed Chiang Xiao was actually startled by their reaction.
Uncle Huo was already excitedly saying, âMiss Xiao Chiang! If you can revive the Ancient Tea Tree, you can take as much tea powder as you like, and Iâll give it to you for free!â
UhâŠ
For free?
Chiang Xiao thought to herself, do you think my tea cake business wonât take off, that Iâll just be dabbling and wonât be buying much stock?
Do you have any idea how popular matcha will be in the future?
Chiang Xiaoâs mind quickly started to whirl again.
âTea powder for free isnât necessary; how about I use reviving the tea tree as my investment into your Tea Garden Villa, and in return, I get a 10% share of the profits from the sale of the tea leaves from the Ancient Tea Tree? What do you think?â
Although reviving this tree amounted to doing the Huo Family a huge favor, she didnât want the profits from any other tea, just from this Ancient Tea Tree.
This way, it really wouldnât count as taking advantage of the Huo Family.
Old Huo and Uncle Huo exchanged looks, barely believing at this time that Chiang Xiao had the ability. Yet, the tea was crucial for them, and they now had no other alternative but to try this desperate remedy â treating a dead horse as if it were alive.
âMiss Xiao Chiang, if you can really revive this tea tree, let alone 10%, Iâll give you 30% of the tea treeâs sales profits,â Uncle Huo said with a wry smile.
Chiang Xiao immediately agreed, âOkay. Letâs draw up an agreement then! And while weâre at it, letâs draft the agreement for the tea powder and honey as well.â
She glanced at Hu Xibing, âBrother Hu, if thatâs the case, then Iâll have to stay here a couple more days; is that okay with you?â
Hu Xibing, already dumbfounded by her, replied subconsciously, âOf course, why wouldnât it be?â
And so, they settled in at the Tea Garden Villa owned by the Huo Family.
To make it look real, Chiang Xiao even made a trip down the mountain that day, claiming she was going back to the city to find some Medicinal Soil for reviving the trees. Hu Xibing wanted to follow, but Chiang Xiao refused. Jokingly, if he really went with her, wouldnât she be exposed?
After all, she didnât actually go to the city but walked a bit farther to a secluded place, flashed into the Space, and filled a small sack with Black Soil.
That piece of Black Land had dug out a hole for her, and just as she hesitated, the hole slowly started to fill up automatically right before her eyes.
It was then that Chiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
If this soil wasnât inexhaustible, she would really be reluctant to take any of it away.
Fortunately, the Space was considerate enough to refill itself after digging.
However, she felt that the effects of the Black Soil would be discounted once it left the Space; it definitely wouldnât be as miraculous as it was within it. Fortunately, that was what she wanted. If it were too miraculous, she felt it would be too conspicuous.
Timing it well, Chiang Xiao emerged from the Space and hurried back to the Tea Garden Villa. Seeing her returning with just a small bag of black soil, the Huo Family father and son were both skeptical and expectant.
âMiss Xiao Chiang, the tea tree is already planted. We chose a good spot on Tea Mountain especially for it. What should be done with this?â asked Uncle Huo.
Hu Xibing had already taken the small bag from Chiang Xiaoâs hands.
It felt heavy the moment he took it.
He was inwardly shockedâChiang Xiao had carried such a heavy bag up the mountain? Wasnât she tired? How could she carry it?
Such incredible strength!
Then he regretted not insisting on accompanying her. Having let sister-in-law do such laborious workâCaptain Meng had specifically instructed him to take good care of herâhe felt ashamed!
However, when Chiang Xiao was determined, he was helpless; he didnât have the authority to speak to her commandingly like Captain Meng, and he felt that if he did, he would surely suffer a terrible fate.
