Chapter 1709

Huh?

Can't use water bottles?

Although currently 0 people had water bottles, everyone was still curious: "Then those sold in the small shop..."

The kitchen helper's cheek twitched.

"I'm talking about those serious large water bottles, the sports water bottles in the small shop... I didn't keep an eye on them for a moment, everyone is using them, if you want to use them, go ahead."

It's thanks to them making the tea water light, otherwise, if everyone used those large water bottles, one bucket of water wouldn't be enough for many people. Everyone carrying one that big is like a water buffalo.

It's also thanks to the kitchen helpers being them; if nothing else, they have plenty of strength to move things, boil water, and pour tea.

Otherwise, Master Jiang would have quit long ago.

But although he compromised, the group of people in front of him still didn't have water bottles.

The girl was hesitant and pitiful: "We didn't bring water cups..."

The kitchen helper pointed to the disinfection cabinet: "The stainless steel ones are for public use. When you finish using them, wash them clean and put them back, remember to press the disinfection button again."

He paused and added: "It's still more convenient to buy a water bottle, you can carry the tea water with you."

The poor students:...

Every bit of living expenses needs to be calculated carefully, that water bottle costs several dozen yuan, not buying it!

However, this firmness wavered instantly when they took a bowl, filled it with tea water, and took a sip.

The tea water was warm, and after drinking it, another layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads. But the tea fragrance was both light and lingering, making even their throats feel exceptionally refreshed, with a bitter-then-slightly-sweet taste.

With this taste, even the college students who knew nothing about tea and felt they were "chewing peonies like cows" opened their mouths, and after a long while, let out a long sigh:

"It's really delicious."

With such delicious tea water, if they couldn't carry a large water bottle with them, they would want to stay in the cafeteria all afternoon!

Everyone looked at each other; actually, several dozen yuan, if they grit their teeth, isn't impossible to squeeze out...

The auntie of the small shop was blowing the fan and playing Landlord on her phone. Seeing the familiar figures returning from the mountain, she didn't even need to look up—

"Buying water bottles, right? The price is the same, pick one yourself."

The college students:...

Such an accurate prediction! Just holding them hostage because they couldn't bear to part with the tea water, right?

The prediction was right!

Thus, less than two hours after arriving in Yunqiao Village, the college students' savings were -40 (the bus fare was settled by Song Tan).

The girls held their phones and muttered: "No wonder the guide says you must spend money when you come here..."

Their vigilance was all on the villagers ripping them off, never expecting it was because of the benefits they got for nothing.

But looking on the bright side, those tourists who can drink tea for free here still have to pay to eat the cafeteria food, while they can get it for free by being thick-skinned.

Thinking about it this way, the forty yuan spent didn't hurt so much.

Song Tan, however, opened her phone and inadvertently saw their step count, and fell into a deep silence.

She showed this page to Wu Lan: "Mom, you still say it's too expensive to spend over a thousand to invite these college students to accompany Song Qiao Song Qiao to exercise—look at their stamina!"

They've only been here for two hours, their step count was 4000 when they arrived, and now it's 【number】.

And this is at 3:00 PM on a 39-degree hot day!

The energy of young people, there are those like Zhang Zhang Yanping who feel tired just lifting an oil bottle, and there are also these ruthless people; they are truly unfathomable.

But the power of contemporary college students was clearly not fully displayed.

When they returned to the mountain and filled their bottles with tea water, the kitchen helper looked at their excited appearance and added:

"Drink more tea water now, don't drink it at night. Also, since you're here, Auntie Zhang Hong's iced bean curd is also very delicious, and cheap, you can go and try it."

The college students' faces instantly turned bitter: Again?!

There really is no more living money!

At the same time, Huo Huo Xueying was opening software on her phone, frantically knocking on a wooden fish, her screen almost sparking.

Her colleague couldn't help but be curious:

"What are you doing?"

She looked bitter: "I'm burning incense to pray, hoping I won't have to work overtime today."

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!

Such a devilish sentence, her colleague also quickly spat in all directions.

After spitting, he was puzzled: "Didn't you resign?"

Huo Huo Xueying:... Oh right.

It's all because the company is too unlucky. She was just here today to hand over things the newcomer didn't understand face-to-face, and by the way, wait for her boyfriend to get off work nearby, never expecting to get immersed!

Work is really too scary.

Although the next job hasn't been settled yet, she already felt happy, so she sat back down happily.

Her former colleague was curious: "Why are you so happy? Is the new job already settled?"

"No." Huo Huo Xueying wasn't worried.

Thanks to the unscrupulous company, every one of them was trained into a six-sided warrior.

Song Tan was one when she was here, and now that Song Tan has left, she has also evolved.

In this era where short dramas are rampant and new media businesses are booming, the skills she has mastered, like editing and retouching, are in demand everywhere.

The only difference is the intensity of the work.

Seeing her colleague still curious, she couldn't help but smile: "Remember Song Tan's farm? She invited me to play at the farm."

Wow!

The newcomers didn't know, but the old employees all gathered around:

"Huo Xueying, does she still have honey? Help me bring back two bottles."

"Tea leaves! Those tea leaves!"

"Peaches! The peaches you ate last year..."

Someone said sourly: "It's different when you're rich. We worked together for a while, and now that she's a boss at home, she doesn't even reply to messages from former colleagues..."

Huo Huo Xueying rolled her eyes:

"Her things are collected by suppliers in bulk, she doesn't sell them retail at all. We were colleagues, that's true, but you want these scraps, and you want to send her messages separately... She has over a thousand WeChat friends, how can she keep up!"

"Besides, you can just buy them from the online store yourselves."

If they could buy them from the online store, would they be this sour?

Besides, the prices in the online store have gone up now.

"Also, you send her messages privately, isn't it because you want to pay the old prices? That's impossible, the prices given by wholesalers have doubled several times now."

"You say this message, if she sees it and refuses, you'll be upset. If she doesn't refuse, she'll lose money..."

"Isn't it very decent not to reply?"

Huo Huo Xueying knew exactly what kind of people they were, and her little mouth kept going, not stopping at all, instantly making everyone feel ashamed and unable to lift their heads.

It was true!

They weren't that close when they were colleagues, otherwise, before she resigned, Song Tan had a car accident, and no one asked about her.

Everyone was sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, so don't try to pull connections later!

If they did pull connections, and paid the full price, Song Tan might have let them cut the line because of their colleague relationship.

But they wanted to buy at the old prices—things that you can't even grab now, she didn't even want to expose these people.

Do they want to buy them back to eat themselves?

Now the price of her things in the seafood market can double several times!

In short, Huo Huo Xueying, who was full of combat power after resigning, harvested a bellyful of envy and jealousy, and was very satisfied.

And the colleague who was retorted wasn't to be outdone:

"Song Tan's farm, what are you proud of? If you ask me, you young people shouldn't always shout about being tired and taking vacations; if you don't settle your work early, I'm afraid you'll end up with nothing."

"You say she invited you, but when the time comes, you'll have to pay for this and that, and your monthly salary won't even be enough for a bowl of rice."

"Even if she doesn't charge you, those things are so expensive, it will probably be a burden to eat them, right?"

The retorted colleague continued to exert force with sour words—anyway, they weren't colleagues anymore, if you don't show mercy, I won't either.

Oh my!

Huo Huo Xueying wasn't the type to hide her light under a bushel!

Finally waiting for this sentence, she said embarrassedly: "I also said I would pay, but Song Tan said that with our relationship, paying would be too distant."

"Anyway, this time it's all-inclusive for food, lodging, and play, and before I leave, she'll let me bring back a few boxes of specialties—sigh!"

She sighed again in a pretentious and affected way, troubled:

"What kind of gifts do you think I should bring?"

?? What should I bring
