Chapter 1116: Chapter 1112: Orchard Brand

Although Dai Annie didn’t understand much about business opportunities, she smiled and said, “Chen Yang, you just go ahead and do it! As long as you do it, I’ll definitely help you promote it. I can’t guarantee other places, but in our county, your wild mountain oranges will surely be a hit!”

Dai Annie was full of confidence, guaranteeing Chen Yang a market in their county.

Because her dad was the richest man in the neighboring county, all the notable figures in the county would visit her home with gifts during the holidays, so she had the confidence to say this.

Hearing this, Chen Yang felt there was potential in the idea.

After all, with so many supportive friends helping out, each from a prominent family, just a word from them that they would only accept wild mountain oranges as gifts could instantly boost his brand!

Thinking of this, Chen Yang immediately decided not to waste such good resources but to utilize them effectively.

“Alright! Since you’re all saying this, I’ll go for it. You guys have to support me when the time comes!” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“Sure, don’t worry, I will definitely support you.”

Dai Annie, as active as ever, was the first to promise Chen Yang.

Of course, Wang Qingyue and Wu Kexin also agreed without hesitation.

As they chatted and laughed, time quickly passed, and before they knew it, it was already past two in the afternoon.

By then, the weather outside was no longer hot, and the breeze was comforting, so Chen Yang initially wanted to take them for a walk.

But just at that moment, the construction team for the farm expansion project arrived.

The construction team was supposed to come in the morning, but they called to say they hadn’t sorted out the wire mesh, so they would come later.

Chen Yang thought they would come the next day, but unexpectedly, they came in the afternoon.

With the construction team here, Chen Yang naturally had to go out and greet them.

“Kexin, why don’t you take Annie and Qingyue to your village office first? I’ll come to find you after I’m done here,” Chen Yang thought for a moment and said.

Knowing that Chen Yang was busy, Wu Kexin nodded in agreement and then left with Dai Annie and Wang Qingyue.

Chen Yang proceeded to meet with the construction team.

This expansion project was relatively large, so there were quite a few people from the construction team.

However, Chen Yang didn’t concern himself with them; he only interacted with the boss. The rest was the boss’s business, unrelated to him.

After a brief discussion with the boss on site, determining the expansion range and height needed, the construction team began work immediately.

Chen Yang didn’t leave immediately but stood by for a while to ensure there were no foreseeable issues before leaving.

After leaving the farm, Chen Yang did not go to the village office right away but went to the wild fruit orchard first.

Earlier, Chen Yang had made up his mind to develop a fruit brand, specializing in high-end fruit business.

With such a plan, of course, he wouldn’t waste time and went straight to the orchard to study the fruit trees carefully.

The orchard was quite large, with most of the trees being orange trees, while other types were relatively few.

Chen Yang did a simple count: there were more than fifty orange trees, which seemed like a lot.

However, for business purposes, this number seemed insufficient.

Ideally, there should be about a hundred trees to ensure adequate quantity for sale.

But planting new trees now would certainly not be timely enough, so other methods had to be considered.

Chen Yang stroked his chin, pondering for a while.

He quickly thought of a solution!

If planting new trees was too late, increasing production was still possible, right?

To have one tree yield as much as two or three, wouldn’t that be perfect?

With this thought, Chen Yang closed his eyes and searched through the “Yaowang Jing” for a solution.

Chen Yang vaguely remembered that while studying the “Yaowang Jing,” he had seen a formula to increase the yield of fruit trees.

He hadn’t paid attention then, so he hadn’t looked into it further. Now that he remembered, he started searching from the beginning.

After searching with his eyes closed for two or three minutes,

he finally found the formula for increasing fruit tree yield!

“I have the formula, but I’m not sure how much increase it can achieve. I’ll try it this afternoon first.”

Chen Yang opened his eyes and smiled gently, then left the orchard and headed to the village office.

By the time he reached the village office, it was already late, around four in the afternoon.

When he entered Wu Kexin’s office, he found only Dai Annie and Wu Kexin there; Wang Qingyue was nowhere in sight.

“Chen Yang, you’re back. How did things go?”

Sitting alone on the sofa playing with her phone, Dai Annie immediately noticed when Chen Yang appeared at the door.

“The farm expansion has begun, so there shouldn’t be any issues.”

Chen Yang answered and then walked in, asking, “Where’s Qingyue? Where has Qingyue gone?”

“Something came up in the county town, so Qingyue went back first. You weren’t around, so we couldn’t tell you.” Wu Kexin stood up from her desk and said.

“Oh, I see.”

Since there was an issue in the county town, Chen Yang didn’t think much of it.

After spending a while in Wu Kexin’s office, he left with Dai Annie.

Because he still had other matters to attend to.

“Chen Yang, why the rush? Why not stay a bit longer with Sister Kexin?” As soon as they walked out of the village office, Dai Annie, curious as always, asked Chen Yang.

Chen Yang thought for a moment and replied, “Of course, there’s something to do. Otherwise, why would I call you out? I need your help with something.”

Hearing there was something to do, Dai Annie didn’t say more and obediently followed Chen Yang back home.

Upon returning home, Chen Yang immediately found all the water buckets in the house.

Living alone, he didn’t have many buckets, just two.

“Two aren’t enough.”

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then went to the small shop next door to borrow four large water buckets from Uncle Niu.

Dai Annie, in the courtyard, was playing with Wangcai while waiting for Chen Yang.

Seeing Chen Yang come back with four buckets, she couldn’t help but stand up and curiously ask, “Chen Yang, why did you bring so many buckets back?”

Chen Yang smiled and replied, “Later, I’ll take you to the orchard to fertilize the fruit trees. Of course, we need more buckets.”

“Fertilizing? But aren’t the fruits in the orchard growing well? Why fertilize them?” Unsure why, Dai Annie became more puzzled.

“You’ll see in due time. Don’t ask so many questions now. Please help me fill each bucket halfway with water. I still have to prepare some things.” Chen Yang found it hard to explain to Dai Annie at that moment, so he asked her to help instead.

“Oh, okay.”

Dai Annie, being obedient, saw that Chen Yang didn’t want to explain further, so she didn’t press for more. Instead, she began filling the buckets with water at the tap, as instructed by Chen Yang.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang went into the house to search for all the herbs he had.

After searching back and forth for five or six minutes, he gathered over ten different herbs.

“Not enough, I need to get some good herbs from the herbal field.”

Thinking of this, Chen Yang turned and headed to the courtyard to search for herbs in the herbal field.

After working on it for about twenty minutes, he finally gathered all the herbs needed for the yield-increasing formula.

Once gathered, he fetched a pestle from the utility room at home.

He ground all the herbs into a fine powder, then evenly added them to each bucket before stirring with a wooden stick.
