Shen Yao took the seeds and distributed them directly using spiritual power, each seed landing neatly on the ground.
Different seeds were planted in each plot. After planting all the seeds, Shen Yao used her spiritual power to disperse the spiritual spring water into a mist that fell over the vegetable patch.
Suddenly, small green sprouts began to emerge from the previously bare ground.
Then, she took out several saplings from her space, which she had bought at a flower and bird market.
There were Roselle flowers, cherry trees, Meyer lemons, and pomegranates…
All of them were trees that looked particularly beautiful when they bloomed or bore fruit.
With her spiritual power, Shen Yao didn't need to dig the holes herself. With a gentle wave of her hand, neat, uniform pits appeared in the ground.
Shen Yao planted the saplings one by one, and with another wave of her hand, they were all planted.
Shen Yao was very satisfied with the speed. She clapped her hands and stood up, walking towards the pond.
The pond had not yet been planted with lotus roots; it was only filled with water and was being conditioned.
A newly dug pond could not be used immediately; it needed to be conditioned with water, otherwise, nothing could be planted, and no fish or shrimp could be raised.
The Shen family had been conditioning this pond for almost half a month. It was almost ready. Shen Yao poured a little spiritual spring water into the pond and dropped a few lotus seeds from her space.
It wasn't that she didn't want to dig up the lotus roots from her space and put them in directly. It was just that the lotuses in her space grew too incredibly, with flowers as large as basins, and they often grew into twin lotuses!
She was also afraid that if she took them out without spiritual power, they wouldn't live long, so it was simpler to use lotus seeds.
Watching the lotus seeds slowly sprout their leaves, Shen Yao was very satisfied. She stood up and left.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the guesthouse, Shen Yao saw her mother, Song Qiuwan, with an angry expression. A small black snake was wrapped around her hand.
"Mom."
Shen Yao called out to Song Qiuwan.
"Didn't I tell you not to wander around?" Song Qiuwan stepped forward and tapped Shen Yao's head.
Shen Yao replied helplessly, "Mom, with my current strength, let alone being pregnant, I could even come back to life if I died. So please don't worry."
"Pah, pah, pah, may evil be banished and good prevail." Song Qiuwan spat a few times behind her back, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Then, without continuing the topic, she didn't insist that Shen Yao really stay home and not go out.
It was true, although they hadn't seen Shen Yao's abilities to fly through the sky and enter the earth, they knew Shen Yao wouldn't lie to them.
"Why did you come to the guesthouse? It was just renovated and has a smell. It's not good to smell it too much," Song Qiuwan said.
"I was going to check on the backyard. I saw no one earlier, so I planted these vegetables and fruit trees. In a few more days, our agritainment business can open. It wouldn't be good if the backyard was still empty when we open, and we'd have to buy ingredients for cooking."
Song Qiuwan thought it made sense and stopped nagging Shen Yao. "That's something we really didn't think of. We've been too busy lately."
Shen Yao smiled wryly, "Who is it that is impatient every day, wishing they could split themselves into several parts, afraid of not finishing things on time!"
Shen Yao had told them to take their time, but the Shen family members were all restless. Except for the little chubby one, everyone else was like two people working!
"It's just that we see money being spent like water, but there's no income," Song Qiuwan said.
They had been frugal their entire lives, but one day they were spending money like flowing water. In just one month, they had spent more money than they might have earned in their entire lives, so it was natural to be anxious.
And this money was spent by their daughter, which made it even more significant.
"Take your time, Mom. You have to believe your daughter. Soon, our guesthouse will be booming. As for the barren mountain, there's no need to worry. Our fruits haven't even grown yet, but Dad Zhou has already pre-ordered them."
After Dad Zhou transported Shen Yao's lychees, he immediately returned to his headquarters in H City.
Everything in their department stores was distributed from the headquarters to ensure that the goods in every store were consistent.
Except for some fresh vegetables and fruits, but these were handled by their nearby distribution centers.
After Dad Zhou's lychees were transported back, he immediately contacted people to pack the lychees in batches and put them into gift boxes.
After packing the lychees into gift boxes, Dad Zhou had the sales manager contact the customers who had signed up for membership at their department store, and each customer was sent a box of lychees.
None of the people who could afford to become members were lacking money. After tasting the lychees they were given, they all asked to purchase more.
Every household bought no less than ten boxes, keeping some for themselves and giving some as gifts.
After this wave of promotion, the lychees brought back by Dad Zhou were in high demand, and many people were willing to pay higher prices.
Keep in mind that each gift box sold for 888 yuan, and each box contained only two pounds of lychees!
Coupled with the large size of the lychees, each box contained only 18 pieces!
This kind of event happened in every city where they had branches, and it even made a business report due to the gimmick of "sky-high lychees."
These things were not only happening to Dad Zhou but also to the families of Xia Chao and Wang Qianqian.
The few lychee trees that Shen Yao gave them brought back a large truckload. The Xia and Wang families were stunned to see so many lychees.
Initially, they hadn't paid much attention when their daughters mentioned ordering a few lychee trees, thinking it was only a few hundred pounds. They never expected there to be so many!
They had also given many away, but there were still many left.
Finally, due to Dad Zhou's marketing strategy, lychees became a coveted item that couldn't be bought even with money. Upon learning that the Xia and Wang families had so many, people flocked to their doors.
This also indirectly facilitated many business deals for the two families, which gave the Xia and Wang families an unprecedented good impression of their daughters' roommate, whom they had never met.
It also provided their daughters with an opportunity to invite Shen Yao to their homes.
Dad Zhou was decisive. Seeing the excellent sales of the lychees, he immediately signed a contract with Shen Yao for the lychees of every subsequent year.
He even set his sights on the saplings that had just been planted on the mountain.
Just for the sake of Zhou Yanan, Shen Yao would not refuse him. Moreover, Dad Zhou said the price would be absolutely higher than anyone else's, so Shen Yao naturally agreed.
However, Shen Yao also had a condition: she asked Dad Zhou to mark the origin of their lychees on the outer packaging.
With the origin marked, their Puhe County would surely become famous, attracting more attention.
Dad Zhou was not worried about people coming to compete with him if the origin was exposed, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Now that you mention it, I almost forgot. Your father said that the 'Nuomi Ci' lychees on the mountain can also be picked, but we only have a few trees, and our yield is small. Does Yanan's father still want them?" Song Qiuwan asked.
Although those few trees had a high yield, with just a few trees, it didn't seem very cost-effective to pick them up.
"Then I'll go ask Uncle Zhou later."
