Chapter 1188: Supply, Oh Supply
These 50,000+ orders successfully made the old Song family, which had been dormant for a whole winter, move.
Until Wu Lan and Song Sancheng were also not idle, and after calling the old men and old ladies at home, they also followed and stuck boxes on the side.
The old people in the village were too slow, if they didn't work harder, the goods really wouldn't be sent out.
Song Youde and Wang Lifen then went up the mountain, seeing everyone busy, without saying a word, they also carried baskets and joined the army of shoveling spinach.
The old couple actually had more experience than Chen Yuan and the others; at this moment, the shovel was tilted slightly downward and pried, and the spinach came out whole.
Then lift the leaves and shake them, and the mud on top basically fell off.
Just shoveling one by one like this, the speed was not half a bit slower than this group of young people, making Chen Yuan and others feel a sense of crisis, and they also silently accelerated their speed.
After a while, Grandma pushed Grandpa up the mountain, seeing this situation, she couldn't help but sigh:
"This spinach is so good, anyway, it has to be sent by express, Tan Tan, don't forget to send a copy to Xiao Chuan."
"Won't forget." Song Tan was sticking orders with Brother Zhang, and at this moment, she shook the stack of orders in her hand: "Actually, it's okay not to send it, it won't be long before he comes over again."
"Send it." Even though she was so busy, Until Wu Lan spoke on the side:
"Xiao Chuan loves our family's vegetables. He left because it wasn't easy to bring them on the high-speed rail, sending two copies doesn't cost much."
Song Tan nodded, and at this moment, she looked at the piles of boxes with Brother Zhang, thinking that all orders had to be ranked behind.
The only one who was truly happy was Qiao Qiao.
After a winter vacation, he returned to being a teacher, even if the lens was aimed at everyone shoveling spinach, it didn't hinder him from chatting with the little friends on his own—
The kind of one-sided chatting.
"... Going to sell a lot this year!"
"Going to sell wild chrysanthemum tea, and mugwort sticks..."
"Sister said to plant a large piece of potatoes, by then the mountains and plains will be full of those light purple little flowers, especially, especially beautiful! I'll pick flowers for the little friends to see by then."
"Sweet potato vines are also for sale, sweet potatoes weren't planted much last year, and there weren't many vines to eat, this year going to sell a lot, a lot... but it should still not be sold to little friends, express delivery takes a long time, and they won't be fresh."
"There are also many watermelons! Sister said they will be sold! Specially planted more for the little friends..."
"There will be apples this year, do you eat them?"
"Oranges will be sold in winter!"
"The wheat in our family grows especially well, the flour ground out must be super, super fragrant, but this is not for sale either..."
Everyone was looking forward to their own express delivery that hadn't been sent yet, while listening to Qiao Qiao muttering here. At this moment, the mood was complex—
【Baby, I know you have me in your heart... but can you open a pre-sale for so many things first?】
【Thinking of so many good things fills me with joy, thinking that I probably won't be able to grab so many good things makes me hate the world】
【Woo woo woo, I swore to save money this year, what should I do if I can't save it like this...】
【Watermelon watermelon watermelon watermelon!!! Watermelon is heaven!】
【Nonsense! Eagle-beak peaches are!】
【Oranges oranges oranges! Baby, plant more! I can finish a basket of sugar oranges by myself during the New Year!】
【Quietly ask, wild chrysanthemums shouldn't be wanted by too many people, right?】
【Potatoes! Potatoes that can be sent by express! I want a sack, one dig, one sack!】
【Sweet potato sweet potato sweet potato sweet potato!!!!】
【Woo woo woo woo, with so many things, how many can I grab?】
【Exactly! Our Qiao baby is clearly so low-key, why did the number of fans suddenly become over a million again?】
【Said not to call seven aunts and eight aunts... now I can't grab them at all...】
【Can't grab, hate the boss. Grabbed it, can't bear to share it with the boss. Grab again next time, the boss comes to influence... infinite loop】
【This is not for sale, that is not for sale. Can't grab this, can't grab that... I'll change my name to This-This-That-That】
【Speaking of which, can't you really open a pre-sale? Last year, it was clearly agreed to pre-sell corn for a year, but it didn't open.】
【Regret, really regret! At that time, I said it was a joke to pre-sell for a year... how many fans were there then? It's better than now.】
【Woo woo woo, why did the number of fans suddenly become so many?】
【That... I clicked in from the screen promotion, this family's spinach is so expensive, will you really buy other things?】
【This question is so heart-piercing, if I don't buy it, should I leave it for you to buy?】
【New friend, we are a family that values loyalty, I'll take care of the spending, you just gather popularity.】
【That... our Qiao Qiao doesn't interact with us usually, following doesn't do much, don't follow, go earn money well】
【That... is honey still for sale this year?】
【Tea leaves tea leaves tea leaves tea leaves tea leaves, my dad asks me every day, I'm going crazy!!!】
【Woke up, everyone don't stare at the near, look at them shoveling spinach in the distance, it's really good to sleep.】
【I'm sleepy too...】
【Does anyone think the movements of shoveling spinach are so unified? Do they even have pre-job training for this?】
And on this side, Song Tan's phone rang again.
Boss Chang is really going to be pissed off!
Just didn't watch for a while! He was stolen at home!
"Is the price of spinach I gave not good? We can discuss this." He called aggressively, but his voice was terrifyingly gentle.
Song Tan was a bit puzzled: "Didn't you say that the amount of vegetables is small and not scaled, and it's easy to cause customer disputes, so don't worry about supply for now?"
Boss Chang was anxious!
"I said the amount of vegetables is small, so don't worry, but you sold 50,000+ jin of spinach..."
50,000 jin of spinach, put in their Chang Le Ju, it could support them for a week, right? Just sold it so cheaply to netizens... Is the traffic on the Internet so important now? In order to pamper fans and solidify fans, the money in hand is not earned.
Song Tan was even more strange: "Then you operate seriously, do you only sell this one spinach?"
Boss Chang:...
Heartbroken.
Really broken.
Indeed, either don't sell, or sell with more variety. A good restaurant only has one spinach, which is too unreasonable.
But the problem is, the reason for falling into such a situation is all because of the old Song family!
"Can't you really expand the scale?"
"No." Song Tan tore the tape with a crackling sound: "If I really packed the land for a hundred miles and exported vegetables and fruits to the world... money isn't earned much, but our life will be a mess!"
Furthermore, with her turtle-speed cultivation, it's already exhausting to guide the thin spiritual energy to this mountain village.
Any further, I really don't have the ability, can't come, not at all, the land on Shitou Slope still needs me to check regularly.
But Boss Chang doesn't know at all, just really painful, how can there really be someone who doesn't earn money?
But... thinking about it, he swallowed the bitter water again.
Because if the old Song family really looked at money, anyone could spend more money to pack it, and he wouldn't have a way to live.
Forget it, just like this.
He took a deep breath and exhorted: "The variety is increasing, don't forget me!"
"Don't worry!" Song Tan likes this Chang Letian, Chang Baobao, very much, and at this moment promised seriously: "Don't worry! In another month, the green vegetables in the field will be scaled."
"There are many laborers in the village this year, we rotate planting here, there will be much more than last year."
Boss Chang breathed a sigh of relief, exhorted again and again, and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.
And on this side, there was another person who groped his way back to Yunqiao Village.
"The changes are quite big..."
Bai Yan stood at the high-speed rail station, took a deep breath to cheer himself up, and then got on a taxi at the exit:
"Do you know Yunqiao Village? Go there."
"Good, good, good, I know, I go there often—but few people go there, I guess I can't find many passengers if I shout, so if it's just you, it counts as a chartered car, it'll be 400 yuan."
The driver said while looking at the other party carefully through the rearview mirror—if it were a young man, he wouldn't necessarily open such a price, because everything is transparent now, you can check it online, and there are strategies and such.
But this one, a middle-aged man who doesn't look very healthy, doesn't even touch his phone when getting in the car, I guess he rarely brushes Douyin.
That's simple, open a price first!
You can bargain if you think it's expensive!
The driver's calm face was nervous, waiting.
However, Bai Yan thought: That winding mountain corner of Yunqiao Village, it must be quite far from the high-speed rail station...
400... it's fine!
Sigh! If he hadn't been fired, he would definitely be able to find a local chef to drive and pick him up. At worst, he wouldn't have to consider 400 yuan at all.
Now... can only sigh at the tiger falling into the flat sun!
Hmph, but it doesn't matter. Wait until he sees the old man, speak nicely and hold him...
With such a supply channel in hand, and such a skill to cultivate special vegetables, wouldn't all those bosses, whether it's the Leisurely Ecological Base or the Chang Le Ju opposite, have to beg him?
Chef Bai tightened his face and signaled the driver to drive faster.
Seventh Uncle doesn't know that he just sent away his son, and another apprentice is coming back.
At this moment, he was happily calculating in the kitchen of the old Song family, deciding to show his skills.
Sigh. Few people during the New Year, cooking feels unenergetic. Plus the ingredients at home are not as handy as the old Song family's, no matter how he does it, he feels he can't play it out.
Fortunately, his silly son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter are not picky, each time they show off two or three bowls, which counts as satisfied.
When leaving, the granddaughter couldn't bear to part with him.
He thought while feeling that his son was really troublesome, and couldn't think too much. So he carried the basket and decided to go to the greenhouse to turn around.
It's warm soon, the vegetable seedlings in the greenhouse can't keep up with the growth later, so they can only be pulled out, and then the land is vacated specifically for seedling cultivation.
He also has to ponder: what to plant this year?
Not to mention anything else, strawberries are grown locally in spring and summer, how is the strawberry seedling cultivation in Tian Tian's family? Can it be planted?
If it can be planted, he will definitely make two pots and send them to his granddaughter!
Don't say, Seventh Uncle's thinking is really accurate.
Tian Tian stared at the strawberry seedlings in the greenhouse at home, and felt it was about time at this moment.
Tian Ye had already started school and left. After the last quarrel, her parents felt short of breath when seeing her, and now everything she said was what it was.
Every time Tian Tian saw it, she felt blocked in her heart.
Because she used to be wholeheartedly thinking of her family. Yet her mother said such things, and her father didn't even refute... And now that she has become strong and her temper has worsened, she even declared she wanted half of the family's farmland...
They, on the contrary, didn't dare to speak.
This discovery made her emotions increasingly complex; at this moment, she closed her notebook and said in a businesslike manner:
"Alright, they've been taken care of quite well. However, since the seedlings are good, there shouldn't be a need to hire anyone else to look at them. Your health is much better this year; decide for yourselves what vegetables you want to plant."
"I'll go to Yunqiao Village to ask how to handle these strawberry seedlings."
Thus, Song Tan, who had just hung up the phone not long ago, received this news again.
This left her a bit stunned.
Because after a winter, the strawberries in the greenhouse were almost gone, and now she was suddenly told that there were still a few mu of strawberry seedlings that hadn't been attended to...
Hiss...
Forgot, truly forgot.
She was calculating whether to plant them herself or sell the seedlings directly?
Thinking it over, she only felt her head was as big as a bucket, so she summoned Sister Yanran and the other two.
"What do you think?"
Sister Yanran, however, was very interested.
"Your own family's strawberry seedlings, the strawberry seedlings grown by taking them to someone else's place and using standard cultivation methods!"
"Song Tan!" She stepped forward and gripped Song Tan's arm: "Please, set aside a piece of land this year and let us try these strawberry seedlings."
"Really, really!" Tang Xiaodong also nodded repeatedly from the side: "If they grow well, we'll be relying on them to graduate!"
"Don't you worry, water and fertilizer management, pest and weed control—we won't let you worry about a single thing! Later, we'll have to pester the professor to get another testing instrument over here."
"By the way, the teacher said your green organic labels are about to be approved."
The three of them looked at her together, their eyes filled with expectation.
And Song Tan thought for a moment: "In other words, if I give you a piece of land, I don't have to worry about anything, and the strawberries produced will still be mine, right?"
"That..." Tang Xiaodong explained: "There is still a portion we need to take away to test as samples, and we also need to keep some seeds to try."
Oh, that's fine then.
Song Tan nodded: "You go to the mountain to choose; whichever piece of land you take a liking to is the one you get."
Qi Lin, however, shook his head: "We don't want the land on your mountain. Your family has special methods for cultivating base fertilizer and irrigation; I know that, otherwise the seedlings couldn't have grown into this state."
"Can we be allocated a piece of land behind our dormitory? We'll use our own methods to plant this one?"
"The main thing is to test the stability and continuity of this batch of seedlings."
Song Tan thought for a moment—actually, these seedlings on the mountain could still absorb some spiritual energy, just much less than those in the fields.
But the three of them were so earnest, and she couldn't find any reason to refuse now, so she simply nodded.
"Alright! Go look at the land yourselves."
Sister Yanran jumped up in surprise instantly: "Graduate, graduate, graduate!!!!"
