Chapter 1192

~7 min read 1,372 words

Secretary Xiao Zhu finished breakfast and greeted them, "Are you guys also installing surveillance on Old Man Li's tea mountain? I'm going to go take a look."

"I'm going too, I'm going too!"

Qiao Qiao ran over holding his phone, "We're planting tea and spreading fertilizer today. I want to teach the kids how to plant, but I haven't taught this before."

The young boy felt a great sense of worry: "What should I do if I finish teaching everything I'm supposed to teach?"

Xin Jun had gone to the construction site, so there was no one to answer this question at the moment. Secretary Xiao Zhu thought for a moment and could only say sincerely:

"Then you can just livestream yourself doing homework... or livestream yourself eating, that's at least still good for helping people sleep."

Song Tan thought about it and followed along, "Brother Yanping went on a date, so I'll keep an eye on today's livestream—oh right, Qiao Qiao, you can also teach them how to plant watermelons. We're interplanting watermelons in the tea fields this year."

Although there wasn't much to keep an eye on and they weren't selling anything today, the 8 million yuan signing bonus was already in hand, so she had to pay some attention to the livestream's atmosphere.

As for the interplanting...

The tea seedlings were still small, and growing all alone on over a hundred acres of mountain land was so pitiful!

"So... if we take the fertilizer off the shelves, everyone will cry because they can't snatch any. But if we don't put it up at all... will they cry even louder?"

"It's true! Last year when she livestreamed to sell goods, her main strategy was 'buy if you want, thanks if you do, and it's fine if you don't'... To put it nicely, it's called being 'Buddhist,' but to put it bluntly, it's called not caring."

Guo Dong explained, "That's all fermented cow and sheep manure from the riverbank pasture, plus some chicken and duck manure, and the fermented fertilizer Professor Song formulated last year, all mixed together. It was originally meant to be used as base fertilizer."

So Yan Ran and the others thoughtfully arranged for neighbors—

All I can say is: it's quite steady.

Speaking of that, Secretary Xiao Zhu thought for a moment and summarized:

"Your mindset now is much more human than when I first met you last year."

"You guys are starting to value your fans more. Actually, the family's financial situation hadn't been completely resolved back then, right? But that move really felt like you were giving back to so many customers."

Secretary Xiao Zhu still didn't quite understand, so she asked curiously, "If this fertilizer is spread just two days before planting the tea, won't it burn the seedlings?"

The spiritual energy is so scarce that even though I have mature experience and am constantly stirring up wisps of spiritual energy, I have only accumulated this much ability to this day.

Secretary Xiao Zhu understood after that explanation and laughed, "You have so much fertilizer stored in the pasture warehouse, and it's all packaged in bags. I thought you were going to go into the fertilizer business this year!"

On the ground was a stretch of undulating, sun-dried yellow soil. During this time, base fertilizer had been buried under the soil one after another, and only a part of the eastern slope remained unfinished.

In the weather of early March, Qiao Qiao wore a versatile windbreaker, and Secretary Xiao Zhu was wrapped in an old cotton-padded jacket. Sitting in the cargo bed and gripping the railing, she finally got to experience Song Tan's driving skills.

Secretary Xiao Zhu's analysis seemed quite reasonable, but...

Song Tan laughed along, "I actually did have that thought."

Qiao Qiao: "???"

If the things produced this way still couldn't be sold at a high price, and if she still couldn't be the one in control of the sales, wouldn't she cry even louder?

The livestream paused for a moment, and then it was filled with dense comments again.

Qiao Qiao thought about it, and indeed, that had already been taught! So he quickly got on the tricycle: "Sister! Secretary Sister! I'll drive you guys!"

"A seller's market, I'm the seller, how refreshing!"

Song Tan said, feeling a bit aggrieved, "You guys aren't farming... I asked everyone to review farming knowledge, but no one posted photos."

Secretary Xiao Zhu looked at the brand-new tricycle and fell silent. Instead, Song Tan skillfully took out two small stools and stepped into the cargo bed:

Song Tan said "Ah," and her entire face looked blank on the livestream.

And most of the people in the village were starting from the west, planting the tea seedlings one by one.

Over a hundred acres, compared to the twenty acres that were awkwardly interplanted with peach trees last year, this year's watermelons would definitely be even fresher, crispier, and sweeter!

"Let's go!"

"Although Song Tan acts as a buffer, the atmosphere in your livestream is very good, and it has attracted many fans. But as an outsider, I can still feel that state."

She pondered, tracing back that state bit by bit: "It seems like it started from when you offered free shipping."

Song Tan looked left and right, having learned how to find camera angles herself, and was already holding her phone to go to the east side to watch people fertilizing.

Then he asked the kids in the livestream in confusion: "Sister said there's a screenshot giveaway today for ten bags of fermented manure fertilizer. It's the kind of manure from our own chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep."

"Because it has been fermented and decomposed, it releases nutrients very slowly. The fertilizer strength is gentle and non-irritating, so it won't hurt the roots."

She curled her lips and waved at Song Tan, who was looking at her:

"Whether the fans can buy it or not is their business; you won't care if they cry or not."

That was also the confidence Qiao Qiao had to say 【Selling Watermelons】 in the livestream later.

"But the riverbank is only so big, and the cows and sheep combined are only so many... There's no need to make a business out of manure fertilizer. If it's put on the shelves and everyone can't snatch any, wouldn't they cry again?"

"It's a bit like the granular slow-release fertilizer often used by gardeners now; just sprinkle it on."

"For example, with this fertilizer, if it were last year's state, plus the fact that there are three full warehouses of stock, you would definitely put it on the shelves as long as it could make money."

Song Tan is not someone who reflects on herself!

"But later on, your ideas were different."

Watermelons, muskmelons.

"Song Tan, tell your little friends, there's a screenshot giveaway in the livestream today, giving away ten bags of fermented fertilizer! The 5kg kind!"

But fortunately, although the tricycle looked pink and useless, it was actually somewhat useful. After spending some time, the three of them finally stood at the top of the slope.

Secretary Xiao Zhu recalled the past: "Of course, your strength deserves that kind of thinking. If I were doing business and the quality of the things at home could be this good, I would make people beg to buy them."

Then she explained: "It's fermented, like little balls. It doesn't stink, it has no smell... but the kids probably won't like it, right?"

And they were all used on their own fields.

"Have you ever grown flowers at home? Potted flowers. Every winter, take the whole soil ball out, spread a layer of this fermented and decomposed fertilizer at the bottom, and it will grow even more vigorously next year."

The small tricycle was a bit small after all. When carrying three adults up the slope and mountain, it made a "buzzing" sound that was exceptionally pitiful. Secretary Xiao Zhu was worried that it wouldn't have enough power and would just slide straight down the mountain.

"It won't."

So she just laughed: "The output of things is really limited, and the things I sell are indeed genuine and worth more than the price."
