Chapter 1281: Precision

The mugwort tea, of course, sold out very quickly.

As soon as Zhang Yanping clicked the "list" button, the platform—which wasn't exactly large by today's livestreaming market standards—stuttered for a moment, and then...

And then there was nothing left.

All that remained were the barrages flooding the livestream, a chorus of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

【Are you guys even human!!!】

【Who exactly snatched up my treasure?】

【I had my tablet and phone out, and I still didn't get any!!!】

【Ahhhhh, I'm going crazy! I didn't get the 19.9 one, I didn't get it!】

【I'm literally crying to death! Whether it's expensive or cheap, I can't buy it no matter what!】

【Ahem, since everyone is so unhappy, let me share something happy—I got some.】

【Sharing is caring, I got some too.】

【Raising my hand as well. You guys had the chance, but you just weren't fast enough. How could you not grab any of the 5,000 portions?】

【Sigh, I was going to say this livestream platform is too niche, the host should switch to Douyin...】

【Don't switch, don't switch! The big platforms have too many rules and too much traffic. Our Teacher Qiaoqiao is used to speaking freely here; he wouldn't be comfortable elsewhere.】

【Look at the follower count—over a million now. What more traffic do you need?】

【Is the person before me just bitter because they didn't get anything, so they want to tear down our umbrella?】

Zhang Yanping saw that comment.

Not to mention the 8 million signing bonus, even without it, the chances of Qiaoqiao switching platforms were slim because there were genuinely fewer restrictions here.

But the livestreaming platform didn't know that, or rather, they wouldn't believe it even if they did—how could anyone turn their back on money? More traffic equals more money, right?

That was why they were so anxious to lock him down.

In short, all three parties were happy.

Zhang Yanping checked the time and said to Qiaoqiao, "The duration isn't long enough. Let's keep it going a bit longer."

"Okay!" Qiaoqiao was quite used to the phrase "keep it going a bit longer" by now. He adjusted his phone position with practiced ease:

"It's all sold out, there's nothing else to talk about, so I'll show you guys our packing process."

Many people enjoyed watching this kind of rhythmic livestreaming; the crisp rustling sound of the tea leaves being stir-fried, the sound of the kraft paper bags being opened...

The barrage slowed down significantly. Nianxu, who was lying on his bed down the mountain, was expertly preparing to take a nap—

A moment later, he sat back up: "Can't sleep, can't sleep! I've already slept enough during the day. If I sleep now, I won't be able to fall asleep at night, and that'll mess up my schedule."

Although he had to get up to pick vegetables in the middle of the night, his sleep cycle was very stable. If he slept too much during the day and couldn't get into the right state at night, his whole night might be ruined.

He didn't sleep, but many in the livestreaming room did. Qiaoqiao, however, was unaware of this as he continued packing.

Lu Jing had slept beautifully last night and had helped with plenty of chores this morning. Now that it was time for packaging, she rushed over too.

She watched for a moment, then put on a pair of gloves with practiced ease:

"Is it 10g per bag?"

"Yes," Until Wu Lan replied. "There's quite a lot; it'll take us the whole afternoon to pack."

As she spoke, she deftly grabbed a handful and stuffed it into a bag. The bag was then placed on the digital scale, and Song Tan and Qiaoqiao adjusted the amount if it was too much or too little.

This task was a bit boring, so Song Tan soon swapped places with Until Wu Lan. Watching the family-style assembly line, she actually found herself getting into it.

Lu Jing had only arrived yesterday and had a belly full of things to say, so she just picked a random topic to start:

"Tan Tan, did you plant any loofahs this year?"

Of course they had.

Whether stir-fried with eggs or made into soup, young loofahs were soft, slippery, and tender. Besides, Seventh Cousin loved old loofahs—though he wasn't the one washing the dishes now, out of habit, he still liked using them to scrub the pots.

"But the seedlings are still small. We didn't plant them on a large scale, just a bunch along the perimeter fence."

Lu Jing knew that with hundreds of acres of mountain land fenced in, it couldn't be small. This year, even the Japanese rose cuttings weren't enough, and they had to look in several places just to find enough seedlings.

The amount of loofah must be significant too.

"What's wrong? Auntie, do you want to eat loofah?" Song Tan asked curiously.

Lu Jing felt relieved: "I was just wondering if I could cut some of the vines once they get old and collect a few bottles of loofah water?"

"The weather is dry in the summer, so it's quite nice to use as a hydrating mask."

She loved beauty and was quite attentive to how she dressed and took care of herself.

Although it wasn't recommended to use masks too often, in the dry, hot summer, a three-to-five-minute hydrating mask wasn't much of a burden, which was why she asked in advance.

Until Wu Lan became interested: "Is that stuff actually useful? I've only heard of using cucumber slices."

Using cucumber slices wasn't exactly useless, but as soon as Lu Jing thought about the taste of Song Tan's cucumbers, she felt it would be a waste to put them on her face. She was afraid she'd end up eating them, which would be a real shame.

So she nodded: "It's useful. Some people might have a reaction at first, so you have to test it out."

"But I don't think there'll be any issues for us."

"So, Tan Tan, is that okay?"

After saying this, Lu Jing felt a bit embarrassed—how could she be asking for things the moment she arrived!

So she added: "The tea oil hand mask and hand cream you gave me last year were really amazing. Look at my hands this year, and look at your mother's hands and skin—they're so good!"

"I just thought this loofah water might be pretty good too."

How could that not be okay?

Song Tan laughed: "Cutting a few loofah vines is no problem at all. If you time it right, it can even encourage new growth."

"Go ahead and collect as much as you want later, and share some with the relatives too."

She had indeed planted quite a lot of loofahs this year. If there was a surplus, she might even be able to sell some.

The barrage instantly erupted in excitement.

【Loofah water!!! Me, me, me! I'm not allergic!】

【I've been using the one that costs ten-something yuan for a huge bottle for years!】

【I want some too, ahhhhh!】

【I haven't used it, but the complimentary hand mask was absolutely amazing!】

【You guys really just used it as a hand mask? I put it on my face.】

【Put it on my face +1, it's incredible! The effect is no worse than those masks that cost hundreds of yuan!】

【It's very effective for repairing chapped skin! I used it on my daughter.】

【Yes, yes! My son's face was red and dark from the cold, and it got much better after applying it.】

Beauty and skincare were always popular topics. Once the conversation started, the barrage became a lively discussion without the host needing to say a word.

It wasn't until then that someone slowly typed out a sentence—

【Am I seeing things? How come every time the host packs a bag, it's exactly 10.5 grams?】

【!!! I saw it too! So Qiaoqiao doesn't even need to adjust it before sealing the bag!】

【Something's not right, how is it so precise! Let me look again.】
