After explaining the uses of flowers to Su Yu, Wang Jinhe also discussed the combined effects of using them, and Su Yu listened attentively.
With the inherent effects of the flowers and the spiritual spring water in Wang Jinhe’s hands, the resulting effect would be enhanced, just like with the fruits and vegetables. Once they were put up for sale throughout the seasons, they would undoubtedly be favored by wealthy ladies and young ladies, just like fruits and vegetables.
“However, meeting the requirements for refining essential oils, as you mentioned, is very difficult for us to achieve,” Su Yu said, frowning.
Everything else was manageable, but refining essential oils was too difficult.
“We can make the tools for that,” she remembered visiting a remote village where many flowers were grown, and where hydrosols and essential oils were distilled using primitive tools.
It could be done even without modern machinery.
“Alright, you draw the design of the machinery, and I’ll have someone make it. Let me know what flower seeds you need, and I’ll have them bought,” since Wang Jinhe had a solution, Su Yu naturally wanted to fully cooperate with her.
Wang Jinhe hugged Su Yu’s neck and planted a big kiss on his face.
“Su Yu, I’ve found that with you, I can do anything I want,” Wang Jinhe said happily.
Su Yu hugged Wang Jinhe, realizing that she would kiss him when she was happy.
“How simple is this? List all the seeds you want, and I’ll have Yuan Bao and the others find them for you as soon as possible. You can also start seedlings. But where do you plan to plant the flowers? The surrounding land is either used for growing crops or fruits and vegetables. There’s really no place for Wang Jinhe to start a flower field,” Su Yu said.
“Originally, planting flowers has specific requirements for soil quality, but with the spiritual spring water, they can be grown anywhere. It’s not just about Xie Family Village and the area near Hululu Village; other villages need to earn some money too,” Wang Jinhe considered. The people in the village were already overwhelmed with growing vegetables and watermelons, and adding flowers would likely be troublesome.
There were so many other villages nearby, and they couldn’t let them earn no money at all, as it would lead to a significant wealth gap.
“Regardless, I am the county Princess of this place. Please help me out a bit,” Wang Jinhe said, frowning.
“Afterward, we need to build a large workshop, and people from various villages can come to help,” Wang Jinhe suggested after giving it some thought.
“Building a workshop is the most suitable. We’ll need people to help with making flower tea, essential oils, and such in the future,” Su Yu nodded after considering it.
If it were like Xie Family Village and Hululu Village, it wouldn’t be very practical. Hululu Village had its own profitable orchard, making it difficult for others to help.
“Well, I’ll think about whether there’s anything else they can do,” Wang Jinhe said, feeling a bit of a headache.
“This can’t be rushed. Take it slow. This year, we’ll leave more high-yield grain seeds here,” Su Yu suggested.
“Okay, I plan to go ask the village chief if there are any villages nearby similar to Hululu Village. Let’s start with the relatively poor villages,” Wang Jinhe considered.
“Should I go with you?” Su Yu asked Wang Jinhe.
“When we go to other villages, you can come with me. I’ll take Chen Jinnian with me first,” Wang Jinhe knew that although Su Yu hadn’t visited his business, he had many things to do.
There was no need for Su Yu to accompany her for such trivial matters. She would be fine with Chen Jinnian.
“Alright.” Su Yu indeed had other things to do and didn’t insist further.
“Go get busy, I’ll go find him,” Wang Jinhe said.
After she left, she went to find Chen Jinnian.
“Why did you come, madam?” Chen Jinnian was checking the stored wine in the cellar when he saw Wang Jinhe, feeling somewhat surprised.
“I plan to establish a flower field. After I go to see the village chief, Come with me for a trip,” Wang Jinhe said.
“Madam, wait for me for a moment. I’ll be ready in a minute,” since they came here, their lives had improved.
His other brothers had things to do, and he and Qi Feng followed Madam to help her business thrive, which was more important than anything else.
Chen Jinnian quickly finished organizing the wine cellar and then went with Wang Jinhe to find Xie Kui.
“Why did you come to see me today, Xiao He?” Xie Kui asked Wang Jinhe.
She was always busy, especially now that the rice was starting to bear fruits. After all, she had said that this year, they would produce even higher-yielding rice. They were all waiting for that day to come. So, it was quite surprising for her to come to see him at this time.
“Are there any villages nearby with a situation similar to Hululu Village?” Wang Jinhe asked the village chief.
“Yes, Xiao He, what big plans do you have in mind now?” Xie Kui’s expression turned serious.
“I want to find a place to grow flowers, possibly by planting them myself, or by cultivating seeds for others to grow,” Wang Jinhe briefly explained her idea.
“There are indeed several villages. When do you want to go and take a look?” Xie Kui asked Wang Jinhe.
Their village used to be in a similar situation, but now that their village was doing well, they naturally hoped that others would also have a good life.
“Let’s go today. It’s still early,” Wang Jinhe replied.
“Alright, I’ll let your aunt know, and then we’ll go,” Xie Kui said.
After informing Rong Shi, Xie Kui left with Wang Jinhe.
They quickly arrived at the location in Wang Jinhe’s carriage. The first village they visited was close to Xie Family Village, and they arrived in just half an hour.
After getting off the carriage, Xie Kui led Wang Jinhe to the village chief’s house.
“This is Chen Family Village, with a total of thirty-five households,” Xie Kui introduced the situation to Wang Jinhe as they walked.
“Most people work outside, and many elderly and women are responsible for taking care of the children and farming at home. Life is not easy,” Xie Kui said helplessly.
“I understand.” With Xie Kui’s introduction, Wang Jinhe got a general understanding of Chen Family Village.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the village chief’s house in Chen Family Village.
“Is Elder Chen at home?”
An elderly man walked out of the house and looked surprised to see Xie Kui. “Why have you come?”
Xie Kui was very busy now and living a good life. Not only him, but even Xie Family Village was doing well. He was not envious, as he had also gone to see Xie Kui at the time. Xie Kui had said that if the county Princess needed him, he would definitely bring people to their village.
“Xiao He wants to find a place to grow flowers, and I thought of you. So, I brought her here to take a look at the land here,” Xie Kui said with a smile.
The village chief of Chen Family Village was somewhat delighted to hear this. “Is that true?”
“I’ve brought her here. Do you think it’s true?” Xie Kui couldn’t help but tease, pointing to Wang Jinhe at the door.
The village chief of Chen Family Village felt a little embarrassed and awkward. “I got too excited. Please come in.”
“Xiao He, let’s go in first and listen to Elder Chen talk about the specific situation in the village,” Xie Kui suggested to Wang Jinhe.
