Regarding peppers and aniseed, Qiao Xuan had discovered wild varieties in the nearby woods during her land visit with Shao Yunduan. They appeared to be of good quality.
During that moment, a realization struck her. Why else would she purchase 50,000 mu of farmland in one go?
Confident in her superpower, she harbored no concerns about the growth of herbs, peppers, star anise, and the like. Post-harvest, she planned to dry them and secure a buyer. Even with limited mountain transportation, she remained unfazed.
While she had contemplated planting lychees, longan, mangoes, dragon fruits, and more, she ultimately abandoned the idea. These tropical fruit trees weren't suitable for this location, but she intended to revisit the notion in two years.
Given the proximity to Yuzhang province, transportation of these fruits would be relatively straightforward.
With her crop choices determined, it was time to embark on exploration.
