Chapter 129: The Three Brothers of the Nursery

Song Tan was currently standing on the large truck, helping to unload the cargo.

Two thousand saplings were no small number, especially the fine seedlings Zhang Yanping had selected. They weren't just straight, single stems; after being grafted and then pruned and bent, they were now sprawling in every direction with many branches.

Once such seedlings were planted, as long as the subsequent care kept up, they would be laden with fruit that very year.

Correspondingly, they also took up a lot of space.

If it weren't for the seller's many years of experience in bundling and pruning, it was uncertain whether a single truck could have held them all.

For such a large business deal, even though thirty percent of the deposit had already been paid, the boss, seeing this remote location, still called upon two brothers he trusted.

The three burly men delivered the goods, but before they could show the other party how tough they were, they first vomited messily—

It was truly because this unfamiliar mountain road had a turn every three steps and a bend every nine; they had driven the large truck along the village road in fear and trembling, and even driving like a snail couldn't withstand the sudden braking and stopping... They couldn't take it!

They had suffered a huge ordeal!

"Oh my, I'm truly sorry."

Song Tan hadn't expected them to vomit so miserably. She instructed Zhang Yanping to help lead them to wash up simply, and then arranged for Qiao Qiao to prepare a cup for each of them, with nothing much inside, just a shallow spoonful of honey.

The warm water dissolved it slowly, and when the three of them had recovered their strength, she handed the water over—

Goodness!

The lukewarm, sweet honey water instantly moisturized from their throats down to their stomachs, and their whole bodies seemed to be soothed from the inside out.

The fruit nursery boss drank it all in one gulp, then smacked his lips, and asked lingeringly, "Is there more?"

"Yes." Qiao Qiao brought over the thermos and continued to refill a cup of warm water for each of them.

Everyone:...

This time when they drank, the sweet taste in their mouths had dissipated quite a bit, but it was as if that fragrant sweetness still lingered on their lips and teeth.

Looking again at the jars of honey in the courtyard that hadn't been packed away yet, logically speaking, their own orchard wasn't lacking in good honey, but at this moment, their hearts were still stirred by this flavor.

"Little sister, is this honey harvested by your own family? How do you sell it? Give us a jin."

Song Tan had just finished checking the condition of the truckload of saplings.

The seller was right; they were indeed a late-ripening variety. At this time of the month, they had just sprouted small, brown flower buds and leaf buds that hadn't shed their outer shells yet.

The freshness was truly as the boss had said; they had probably mobilized people to dig them up that morning before bundling them up. Now that they had been delivered here, it was guaranteed to be within one day.

Considering that they had already started to bud on top, the roots also carried full mud balls.

This business deal Zhang Yanping had negotiated was truly worth it.

However, for most people encountering this situation, the yield in the first year would definitely decrease, yet in Song Tan's hands...

At this very moment, Song Tan had already fallen into the anticipation of a money tree.

But Qiao Qiao couldn't wait to answer the other party's question: "One thousand yuan per jin."

What on earth? Honey for one thousand per jin?!

The three old gentlemen were stunned, then drank the water in their cups in one gulp, exchanged glances, and pretended they hadn't heard that remark.

However, this batch of peach saplings had cost over one hundred thousand; how could Song Tan let them leave so easily?

Qiao Qiao took the cups, then changed to a pot of hot water, and carefully placed two tea leaves in each cup.

It was truly two leaves.

The nursery boss saw it with his own eyes; he had counted them one by one.

When the hot water was poured, the fresh fragrance of the tea leaves swirled and permeated the air. The three of them just sniffed it lightly, and felt their minds were washed clear. The heads that had been shaken dizzy by the mountain road felt much clearer!

How should one put it? The honey drunk made the stomach feel comfortable, and the tea smelled to make the mind clear!

"Good tea!"

The three big men praised in unison.

Then they couldn't help but ask: "How is this tea sold? Is it also from your own family?"

It was mostly likely from their own family, because it had been taken out of the living room freezer, bundled layer by layer in a large plastic bag.

Qiao Qiao answered loudly again: "Ten thousand per jin."

Nursery boss:...

The item was truly good, but was this price a bit too unreasonable!

He looked at Qiao Qiao, who seemed different from other normal boys, and at this moment couldn't help but walk to the gate, shouting loudly at Song Tan who was standing on the truck counting the goods:

"Little sister, how exactly are this tea and honey sold?"

Song Tan didn't even lift her head: "Just the price my younger brother said."

Just kidding, people had delivered themselves to the door; could she let them leave empty-handed?

After answering the question, she put the matter aside and then called for Song Sancheng to move all these peach trees, bundle by bundle, onto her small pickup truck.

The road to the back mountain was not easy to walk; the large truck could not pass no matter what, so she had to rely on her own transport.

Zhang Yanping's eyes rolled: "I don't understand fruit trees. Tan Tan, you happen to go and check the quality with everyone. I see these bosses are quite wealthy; see if you can sell them something?"

Anyway, he wasn't going to dig for bamboo shoots anymore; whether it was breaking shoots or digging shoots, it was quite tiring.

Better to sell things; he was at least good at this.

Song Tan had a rough idea of the quality and quantity of the trees in her mind with a glance, and besides, with ten trees per bundle, two thousand peach trees were easy to count.

Since that was the case, she readily transferred the payment directly:

"Boss, you truly live up to the recommendation of my brother Yanping; your fruit saplings are really good."

The nursery boss sat waiting for the payment to arrive, his heart relaxed, and then he gave her a thumbs up: "Straightforward."

At this moment, he also followed to help unload the cargo, while whispering to his two brothers: "We were worried for nothing; this young lady does things quite straightforwardly. Let's leave as soon as we unload the cargo."

The third brother, who was responsible for driving, had a bitter face:

"Big brother, let's sit for a while longer; this road is really hard to walk, you tell me to slow down."

With such a large truck, one side was a mountain and the other was a steep slope; walking all the way here, the half-hour drive through the village was really hard not to be fearful.

The big brother's face twitched, and then he whispered: "Look at the sky; if we don't leave now, it will be dark, and this section of the road will be even harder to walk."

The second brother, who had been silent, said gloomily: "But big brother, their family's tea is so good to drink; I'll wait for them to refill my water twice more."

Speaking of tea, the nursery boss didn't say anything either.

After a long while, he threw down a bundle of saplings with hatred: "This family is too stingy! Why only put one tea leaf in a cup! I didn't even charge for shipping!"

The third brother looked at him: "If I sold tea for ten thousand a jin, I wouldn't even give you one leaf; I'd just let you look at it."

Big brother:...

This troublesome relative.

With this business sense, if it weren't for himself all these years, could this nursery business have been done well?

But silly is silly, they were both honest people after all. He had to swallow his anger, and then suddenly climbed down from the truck with hatred again:

"Little brother, brew me a proper cup of that tea; I'll decide whether to buy it or not after one cup."

Before Qiao Qiao could answer, Zhang Yanping had already responded happily.

"Oh my, boss, you truly have an eye for things. This tea now has all repeat customers; we don't even sell it to ordinary people! Come, where is your cup? I'll brew it directly in your cup for you!"

The remaining two brothers didn't agree: "We want it too."

Although the big brother was the boss, there were three bosses in their nursery; he couldn't just give one cup!
