Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Oh, it's all the same, all the same. You're all excellent anyway."
"I heard Zhou Qian's restaurant opened a branch. It's really doing better and better!"
Wu Tian chuckled, "Yes, the restaurant's business is quite good now. Have you been there to eat?"
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Since it's Zhou Qian's restaurant, of course I'd patronize it."
"Her premium cabbage is truly delicious. I've never eaten such good cabbage before!"
Wu Tian smiled, "Her premium cabbage is her signature dish. But when I first approached her for cooperation, I never expected this cabbage to sell so well."
"You cooperated with her?" Hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but freeze.
"What do you mean you cooperated with her? Don't tell me you supply the premium cabbage?"
Wu Tian hadn't intended to say it, but since he had already let it slip, there was no need to hide it any longer.
So Wu Tian nodded and said, "Yes, I cultivated the premium cabbage, so of course I supply it."
"My goodness, no way?" Xiao Yi's eyes practically lit up.
She said incredulously, "Wu Tian, who exactly are you? Is there anything in this world you don't know how to do?"
Wu Tian scratched his head and smiled, "Don't say that. I'm not that amazing. I just learned a few things casually."
Xiao Yi knew Wu Tian was just being modest.
After all, as far as she knew, Wu Tian was skilled in appraisal and medicine, and now he could cultivate such premium cabbage. How could an ordinary person achieve this?
She already had a good impression of Wu Tian, and now she was starting to feel jealous of Zhou Qian.
"If only I had met Wu Tian first," she couldn't help but think.
Seeing her fall silent, Wu Tian couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Yi snapped back to attention and said, "Huh? Nothing. I was just thinking, it would be great if you could also cultivate fruits."
"Cultivate fruits?" Wu Tian didn't understand Xiao Yi's meaning. "What's the connection between cultivating vegetables and cultivating fruits?"
Xiao Yi sighed and said, "Since we've come this far, I'll be direct."
"My family actually has a business that specializes in fruit.
"And we recently have a orchard plan, which means we will select a rural village with strong cultivation capabilities for investment.
"We will help them build orchards and invest fully.
"And the fruits produced in the orchards will be exclusively handled for sales by our company."
Xiao Yi continued, "That's why I said it would be great if you could cultivate fruits."
"In that case, wouldn't there be an opportunity to participate in our company's orchard plan?"
After hearing Xiao Yi's explanation, Wu Tian's heart stirred slightly.
Of course, he could cultivate fruits. From the very beginning, when he obtained spiritual energy, the first thing he cultivated was fruits.
And those fruits were currently selling very well, also being one of his main sources of income.
If he could join the orchard plan, wouldn't Taohua Village have a direction to strive for?
When he rallied everyone to plant fruits in the orchards, Taohua Village's overall standard would definitely improve!
If done well, even if it wasn't a grand goal like being among the top ten in the country, at least it could shed the title of a poverty-stricken village, right?
Thinking of this, Wu Tian felt a surge of excitement.
He quickly said to Xiao Yi, "No, no, no, you're mistaken. I can do more than just cultivate vegetables; I'm also good at cultivating fruits!"
"How about this, after I go back, I'll cultivate a fruit for you to try."
"If you're satisfied, then let our Taohua Village undertake the orchard plan, okay?"
"You can cultivate fruits!" Wu Tian's words made Xiao Yi feel surprised.
But soon, she became hesitant and said, "But I'm sorry, this isn't something I can decide."
"What do you mean?" Wu Tian was taken aback again.
Xiao Yi explained, "It's like this: there are already dozens of villages participating in our orchard plan, so we can't directly designate an investment target."
"What did you say?" Wu Tian found it even more confusing. "Didn't you say there was only one spot? How are there dozens of villages participating?"
Xiao Yi explained again, "It's precisely because there's only one target that we are being so cautious."
"We have decided to invest one hundred million yuan in the second party within three years. This is not a small sum, so we cannot afford to invest in a failure."
"Our company will organize a selection competition, and only the village that ultimately stands out will get the spot."
"If I were to give you preferential treatment, then the other villages would definitely have opinions."
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian understood and then smiled, "It's okay, I can understand."
"After all, you're doing business. Business is about making money, not losing it."
"Then how about this, I'll also participate? You should at least give me one entry spot, right?"
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "If it's just an entry spot, then there's absolutely no problem."
"However, the orchard plan has been in preparation for three months, and the competition is in a week.
"Can you cultivate excellent fruits in such a short time?"
Wu Tian was quite confident in his spiritual energy. After all, whether he was cultivating fruits or vegetables now, it only took a short while to achieve it.
He nodded and said, "No problem, trust me."
"Not only can I cultivate them, but I can also let you taste them in advance."
"Then you can be the judge first and see if it's good enough."
Seeing Wu Tian's confidence, Xiao Yi naturally didn't say much more.
She smiled and said, "Seeing how confident you are, I'm also looking forward to it."
"Alright then, once you've cultivated them, just contact me directly. I'll await your good news."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry. The fruits I cultivate will definitely not disappoint you."
After that, the two chatted about other topics. After the meal, Wu Tian drove home.
However, after parking, he didn't rush into the house. Instead, he turned towards the village committee and found the village chief, Wang Damao.
Wang Damao was there, his eyes shining as he watched some foreign cat videos on his computer.
Wu Tian's sudden entrance startled him greatly.
He quickly closed the computer screen and patted his chest, saying, "It's you, Wu Tian. Honestly, why didn't you knock when you came in? You scared me to death."
Wu Tian immediately knew Wang Damao was up to no good. He said with some helplessness, "Village Chief, how old are you? What are you doing?"
Wang Damao was somewhat embarrassed, glared at Wu Tian, and then said, "It's none of your business. Why did you suddenly come here, you kid?"
