    “Yes, I want to buy the hill.”


    Qin Xi nodded firmly. “Uncle Liu, I want to nt tea trees on the hill. I wonder if you’ve noticed something. In recent years, our vige has been producing more and more tea than ever, but why are we earning less and less?


    “Not only that, but the middlemen are also getting more and more shameless about taking kickbacks. We’ve been working hard all year long, but it turns out that middlemen are the ones who profited the most. The ie we earn is only enough to maintain the status quo. As a result, the quality of life in our vige is much worse than in other viges.”


    Liu Shuan’s expression immediately became solemn. He had been the vige chief for so many years. Naturally, he knew very well about the situation.


    However, there was nothing he could do.


    He had also tried to boycott these ck-hearted middlemen, but they did not care about it at all. Not only did they monopolize all the sell channels, but they also threatened the other middlemen to not purchase tea from the vigers. It was said that the reason why those people dared to raise the price so brazenly was because they had a big shot backing them.


    They were just a group ofmoners. How could they go against those people with power?


    Liu Shuan shook his head with a bitter smile and exined the difficulties he had encountered over the years in detail. He said tiredly, “Xi, these people have a powerful background. If we don’t follow their rules, they will lower the price. At that time, the vigers will only earn less and less!”


    Qin Xi finally understood the whole story.


    Although the tea in Shangwan Vige was not particrly good, it was produced inrge quantities. However, because of these ck-hearted middlemen, the vigers made very little profit and could hardly support their families while the middlemen could earn a fortune using cheapbor.


    “Uncle Liu, I have a way to increase the ie of the vigers.”


    “What way?”


    “I’ve said it before. I want to buy the hill and develop the ntation industry on it, but the hill is too big. I definitely won’t be able to manage it alone. When the timees, I can hire some vigers. Not only that, but I also n to build a factory base. The factory will produce and sell fruit drinks.”


    “Of course. If the tea production is good, I’ll buy it all and make it into herbal tea to sell domestically.”


    “Moreover, there are some ces on the hill that are very suitable for raising chickens. The free-range chickens raised in the hill are definitely better than those in cages…”


    The more Qin Xi spoke, the more shocked Liu Shuan and the others were. They couldn’t help but calcte the possibility of her n happening.


    Liu Dequan shook his head with a solemn expression and spoke his worries. “Xi, it’s not that I want to discourage you, but what you’re saying now doesn’t sound feasible. You have to know that nting is not easy. You have to consider all aspects.”


    “First, you have to choose a good nursery. If the nursery isn’t good, the yield will be low, and the fruits will not be juicy. This will greatly affect the sales. Secondly, not all hills are suitable for nting fruit trees. Normally speaking, fruit trees demand nutrient-dense and fertile soil, as well as sufficient sunlight.”


    “Of course, there’s also the water source problem. The most important thing you have to know is that it will take at least three to five years for the fruit trees to grow up, let alone build a factory base.”


    “As for raising chicken, I think it’s feasible. There’s still a lot of space for the poultry on the hill.”


    Qin Xi smiled mysteriously and said, “Grandpa Liu, you tried my vegetables before, right? Do you know why my vegetables are so delicious?”


    Liu Dequan’s heart skipped a beat as he asked excitedly, “Why?”


    “Because I have a secret weapon!”
