After returning to the other courtyard and having breakfast, I learned that the village chief and his people were already busy on Chaishan Mountain next door.

Xu Yin asked the nursing home to help.

“There is strength in numbers. You all go and open a piece of land as soon as possible. I want to breed.”

Out of the twelve guards, four are left to guard the gates, and the remaining eight go to Chaishan to help.

This is still the result of bargaining with my mother-in-law.

 Xu Yin: Relax! As long as my sister is here, it doesn't matter whether I stay in the nursing home or not.

But the mother-in-law and the maids didn't know that. Seeing that there were only four gatekeepers in the entire villa, their hearts were very high, fearing that someone with evil intentions would suddenly break in.

Xu Yin saw that they were always looking out the door and raised her head from the plan: "Is it boring to stay here? How about you go with the big brothers from the nursing home?"

The old lady suddenly felt frightened: "No, no, no! The old slave stays here to take care of the girl."

 “I won’t leave either!”

 Xu Yin: “…”

　　I thought for a while and said, "Then you can pack the tea leaves around the other courtyard. After picking them, fry them. The tea farmers from the province will come."

 The ladies looked at each other: That makes sense!

Who knows if there are bad people among the tea farmers? This is a good idea, girl!

As long as strangers are not allowed to approach the other courtyard, the other courtyard will be safe.

Except for Zi Yuan who was serving tea and water to the girl indoors, waiting for instructions, the other women and maids had gone to pick tea. Only then did Xu Yin's ears become clear and she was planning the future spice mountain without any distractions.

The village chief was very efficient. Knowing that she was in a hurry to use the land, he cleared a piece of land in less than half a day.

“Girl, the land has been cleared, what should we do next?”

“Turn the soil deeply and let the sun dry the soil thoroughly to kill bacteria.”

The village chief was confused when he heard "sterilization": What does this mean?

Xu Yin told him: There may be bacteria or insect eggs in the soil. Sun exposure can remove bacteria and kill insects. If you plant flowers in the future, you will be less likely to get sick.

The village chief thought thoughtfully: "So, before we plant crops next time, we should plow the ground and dry it thoroughly as the girl said. Will the crops we plant not be prone to insect diseases?"

 “That’s the truth.”

The village chief suddenly became enlightened and returned happily with the good news that he had unexpectedly gained something that was beneficial to farming.

Xu Yin started soaking the flower seeds.

In addition, sandalwood, clove, laurel, magnolia and other saplings were also scouted.

 After the entire Chai Mountain is cleared, plant it along the foot of the mountain.

 The weather is warm and the flower seeds can be sown in less than a day after being soaked for half a day.

Xu Yin found a corner in the flower bed on the patio of the second courtyard and sowed the first batch of experimental flower seeds.

Once the buds have sprouted and the stems have grown strong, transplant them to the next hill.

 The flower species tested are classic fragrance flowers such as rosemary and roses.

In the first plot of land she planted, she decided to plant rosemary. This flower is most suitable for sowing in March and April, and it does not require cultivation. Just sow the seeds directly, and it is easy to propagate.

As long as there is sufficient light, ventilation and light, it can quickly give you a green rosemary field.

 At first glance, it looks like a weed, but only when it blooms do you know how beautiful it is.

After the village chief finished plowing and drying the second piece of land, Xu Yin transplanted the budding roses there.

Like roses, roses are relatively easy to grow. The end of April and early May is also the most suitable planting season.

 Following this are vetiver, bergamot, jasmine, and lavender. For now, let’s plant these six spice crops that are most suitable for refining fragrance, and plant them according to their respective most suitable months and seasons.

However, after hearing her description, the maids and the village chief all said they had never seen lavender and bergamot before.

Xu Yin couldn’t help but wonder: Could it be that lavender and bergamot haven’t been introduced into the country at this time?

 Fortunately, the Xu family has its own merchant ships, and two of them travel overseas all year round. It is believed that the merchant ships brought foreign flower seeds.

"Actually, my parents had successfully cultivated them before they were alive. I wanted to come back to Xiangcheng to plan the planting, but it didn't work out... I want to fulfill my parents' dream! Plant for them the spices and flowers that no one in our country has been able to grow so far, so that my Xu family can be fragrant. The industry will be famous throughout the dynasty!"

 Zi Yuan and others felt their hearts surge and their eyes moistened when they heard this.

Who's daughter is like their girl, busy all day long in the mountains planting spices?

 The warm sunshine of late spring and early summer has completely sunburned the girl Shengxue's beautiful skin, and her hands that used to be as smooth as gelatin are also a bit rough.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...ww... those girls, it's really hard work!

In order to inherit the legacy of the master and his wife, he did not hesitate to show his face, and spent all his money in farming.

 “Girl! You are tired!”

 Xu Yin: “…”

 What are you all thinking about?

Aren’t I just saying this because I was worried that you would become suspicious?

 …

Fortunately, everyone believed her words and believed that the master and his wife had really cultivated overseas flowers during their lifetime. The girl was putting into practice the cultivation experience of the master and his wife.

Seeing that they no longer looked at her with confused eyes from time to time, Xu Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and could finally let go and do it boldly.

 She lived in Chashan for three months.

 During this period, the ripe seasons of peaches, bayberries, and pears are ushering in.

The village chief brought her a few baskets of fresh food, and the rest was made into wine and jam according to the recipe she provided.

 Wine needs to be stored in cellars, but jam is made and sold immediately.

As Xu Yin expected, those high-ranking families were very fond of jam. According to the instructions for eating, scoop out two spoons of jam containing pulp, mix it with light tea and mix well, then add a few ice cubes to drink, and drink with it. It’s the perfect match for the hot summer months.

 Xu Yin can naturally understand this happiness.

This is the basic version of fruit tea that has become popular in the streets and alleys in later generations. A cup of iced fruit tea in summer is an extremely happy enjoyment.

Even a modern person like her was greedy. After teaching Ziyuan and Hongqian how to make fruit tea, she gave herself a cup the next day.

The village chief is a capable person. He saw that tea was mentioned in the best way to eat it provided by Xu Yin. He tasted it himself and found that after the tea was mixed with jam, the taste was indeed better than that of pure boiling water. That kind of taste was difficult to use. Words can describe it, but it tastes really good. So by the way, I started promoting tea from Xujia Tea Mountain.

This year, a merchant specializing in tea business came to Fucheng. The tea he sold was very cheap, which suddenly brought down the price of tea in Luocheng.

The village chief was originally worried that the tea from Chashan would not sell well this year. Unexpectedly, he sold it with jam, and the business was surprisingly good.

What's even more exaggerated is that the tea merchant actually came to him and said that he wanted to buy a batch of jam from Xujiacun.

Of course, if the price is right, the other party will also want to buy the jam recipe, and probably also want to sell it with tea.

Village chief: “…”

 I just want to laugh.

In any case, Xujia Village is prospering this year because jam and tea are sold together, which is no worse than when the old man was here.

Xu Yin was also very pleased when she looked at Chaishan Mountain, which was gradually filled with spices and flowers.

Next, she plans to try planting several flower seeds collected from the Hundred Gardens of Cultivation World in the boutique cultivation area on the top of the mountain. She wonders if they can be successfully cultivated.
