Chapter 285: Chapter 285: One Hundred Thousand Taels of Gold Is Not Enough to Buy the Head of the Enchanting King (1)

"Alright, Big Brother, I’ll stop smiling now," she said, seeing her elder brother sit back down, stifling the smile on his face.

"Big Brother, I have someone here for you to take with you when you leave. His name is Sun Xiangjie. His family makes a living from tea, and he’s going back with you to prepare for planting tea trees."

When the big brother heard it was about planting tea trees, he just frowned a little, "Little sister, planting tea trees requires many conditions. Is our village’s land suitable?"

"It is. We can give Sun Xiangjie the land by the winery. That spot is the most suitable for planting tea trees, and there’s also a well," she pondered for a moment, still thinking that spot was most fitting for tea trees.

"Alright, I’ll arrange it after I get back." Since the little sister said it was possible, he would proceed as she suggested.

"We shouldn’t leave the mountains empty either; let’s plant some fruit trees. That way, we can add another variety to our winemaking, and on the ground, we can grow some easy-to-cultivate medicinal herbs," the big brother considered, making a mental note. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Okay." He paused, then added, "We could also raise some chickens and ducks in the mountains, they wouldn’t need to be fed, they’d just find their own food on the land."

Feng Xuxu thought it over and found it practical. These would be naturally raised, free-range chickens and ducks, "Good, but you must save a portion for the villagers."

Feng Xi, hearing her words, grinned, showing two rows of white teeth, "I’ve got it in mind."

As Feng Xuxu spoke about raising chickens, ideas of livestock farming flashed through her mind, forming an image of a livestock farm, "Big Brother, let’s establish several livestock farms for raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, and the like. Once they are grown, we can sell them at the restaurant. We can also make marinated meat with the leftovers, and with the eggs laid by the chickens and ducks, we can process them too. This way, we’ll have another source of income," she said, her eyes wide with excitement as she stared eagerly at her big brother.

Seeing the excitement shining in his little sister’s eyes, he also felt inspired, "That’s a great idea. We can buy chicks, ducklings, and goslings and distribute them to the villagers, letting the idle elderly take care of them. We’ll buy them back, along with the eggs they lay. This will save us trouble and earn the villagers silver, a win-win situation."

After listening to her big brother, she looked him up and down, surprised to find that her big brother had become so clever, coming up with such a plan.

Feng Xi noticed his little sister’s surprised look and how she began sizing him up. He felt uncomfortable under her gaze and said with a stiff smile, "What are you staring at me like that for?"

"Pfft, Big Brother, that’s a really good idea. I’m just very surprised," she said with a chuckle, seeing him looking all nervous, so she stopped staring so intently.

"Naughty," the big brother said helplessly, shaking his head and slowly sipping water from a cup on the table.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, he thought he’d better hurry back to pack his things and prepare to return home. After hearing his sister’s speech, he was filled with energy, as if there wasn’t enough time to spend it all.

"Little sister, I’ll head back right now. After I pack my things, I’ll return to Feng Family Village," he said, standing up with urgency in his step, as if he couldn’t wait to get back.

"Big Brother, you’re in too much of a hurry. It’s almost midday. Why not eat here before you go back? It won’t be too late," Feng Xuxu said, rushing forward to urge him as she saw him about to leave.

"No need to wait. I’ll hurry back, get everything ready tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning." He waved his hand at his sister and stepped through the door of the study, leaving Feng Xuxu with no choice but to follow him out.

"Big Brother, how is Sister Jiaojiao doing? When do you plan to get married?" She was already married, and their father had been gone for two years. Children the same age as her big brother were already old enough to start helping with tasks, yet her big brother had yet to settle down.
