Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 482: Chapter 483: Black Soil Assimilation

Chiang Xiao, except for when she was speaking with Meng Xinian, always insisted on her own opinions and was very decisive when dealing with others.

This was something she probably hadn’t even realized herself.

Chiang Xiao said, ”Take me there, I’ve brought some Medicinal Soil.”

”Medicinal Soil?”

”Yes, it’s some earth mixed with medicine and fertilizer. This kind of Medicinal Soil is hard to come by. It was not easy to get someone to share so much of it with me. If that tea tree still has a glimmer of life left, and its fate is not sealed, it should be able to be saved.”

Chiang Xiao found that her ability to bluff people was improving, and she chuckled to herself secretly.

”Then let’s hurry there.”

The group arrived at the back hill, which had been cleared of space. The tea tree was planted there, and its withered leaves made it look as if its life force was rapidly fading away.

It was completely different from the surrounding lush green tea trees.

Moreover, although it had only been planted for two or three hours, a thin layer of tea leaves had already fallen to the ground.

Old Huo and Uncle Huo were both downhearted, believing that the tree was beyond saving.

”This...” Hu Xibing stood next to Chiang Xiao and said in a low voice, ”Sister-in-law, it doesn’t look like this is going to work. Do you want to reconsider?”

”What’s there to be afraid of? If it doesn’t come back to life, the agreement won’t take effect, and I won’t have lost anything,” Chiang Xiao shook her head, took up a small shovel, and asked him to put the bag down. She then began to dig a small trench around the root of the tea tree, filled it with the Black Soil, and took out a little bottle from her backpack. She opened the cap and poured the water within over the Black Soil.

This was spring water from Bamboo Hut, but she had diluted it to avoid making the effects too obvious.

”Miss Xiao Chiang, what is this?”

After pouring the water, Chiang Xiao stuffed the bottle back into her bag and said seriously, ”This is nutrient liquid, and this small bottle is very expensive.”

She was not bluffing them. Everything from her Space was hard to find in the world, truly priceless treasures. She wouldn’t feel like she was overpricing it no matter what she charged.

This tea tree would not have survived without the Black Soil; it would have only ended up dried and burned as firewood.

Therefore, for her to claim thirty percent of its future profits wasn’t too much at all.

”So is there only one bottle of this nutrient liquid?”

”No, one bottle a day, for three consecutive days,” said Chiang Xiao.

In fact, for the next two days, what she watered it with was just plain Qingshui. That’s what she thought at least, but she didn’t want to make it seem too easy for the tree to come back to life.

By the second day, the Huo Family father and son noticed that the tea tree had stopped dropping leaves, and even the leaves on the tree didn’t seem as wilted anymore.

They were all surprised and delighted, and all their skepticism turned into anticipation.

After three days, the whole tea tree was completely revived, every leaf looking vigorous and lush, and there wasn’t a single fallen leaf beneath the tree.

Chiang Xiao noticed that the ring of Black Soil she had buried had also merged into the surrounding earth, and her heart relaxed. It seemed that once the Black Soil was removed from the Space, its nutrients and efficacy were not permanent. After the tea tree absorbed its nutrients, it turned into ordinary soil.

This was a good thing as she didn’t have to worry about someone digging up that Black Soil for analysis in the future.

”Blessed by the Buddha, blessed by the Buddha!” Old Huo’s eyes reddened with emotion. He had never expected that Chiang Xiao would actually manage to revive the tea tree!
