Chapter 225: 【Do not eat while reading this chapter】

~8 min read 1,422 words

After asking for the news at eight in the morning, it wasn't until nine that Song Tan finally sent over a group-buying link.

Huo Xueying could finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Her colleagues' anxious gazes had already urged her many times; at this moment, without a word, she forwarded it directly to the internal small group where the boss wasn't present.

Sitting next to her was Sister Lan, who was 38 this year. She was already an old hand in the workplace, slacking off at every possible moment. At this moment, she was the first to click in, secretly thinking:

I'll buy five bottles first!

One for herself, one for her parents-in-law, one for her child, and one each for her own parents.

As for her husband... sigh, men, they're like cows chewing on peonies; how could they deserve to use such good things? He's frugal and doesn't like to drink it anyway.

Her abacus was clicking away, but when she clicked the link, she was completely stunned—

"One thousand yuan?!"

"!"

Was there some mistake? How could this price be so outrageous!

Could there be some kind of discount coupon?

Sister Lan, unable to believe it, exited and clicked again, exited and clicked again... only to finally discover in despair: the price of this honey was indeed one thousand yuan!

And in the process of repeatedly exiting and clicking, she even saw the tea leaves below priced at ten thousand per unit, and the cilantro, mustard greens, green onions, and garlic above priced at twenty yuan for three liang...

Just say, is this price outrageous or not!

Agricultural products nowadays are too bold with their pricing!

It's just local honey; that so-called Black Cliff Honey, where people hang ropes and climb cliffs to harvest it, only sells for two or three hundred! Even imported ones don't cost more than that.

One thousand?

Might as well go rob someone.

She saw it, and everyone else in the office saw it too.

The male colleague with the big belly next door quietly leaned over to Huo Xueying:

"Huo Xueying, ask Song Tan if there's some discount that wasn't applied? This price is just too outrageous."

Logically speaking, as a grown man, his need for beauty and skincare wasn't that high, and he shouldn't be that desperate for honey.

But since he sat in the office every day, and nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids, he was one of those "nine."

It wasn't just hemorrhoids; because of an imbalanced liver and spleen, he was also frequently constipated.

The feeling of having a stomach bloated to the brim, and turning purple in the face while trying to go to the bathroom but being unable to pass anything—whoever has experienced it knows.

The spleen and stomach issues also brought bad breath; even his own children at home disliked him when he spoke...

This problem wasn't fatal, but it was torture!

Yesterday, with the intention of supporting her colleague, when Huo Xueying used that takeout spoon to scoop a big spoonful of honey into his cup, he didn't stop her.

He didn't feel anything last night, but early this morning—

Hey!

At six o'clock, his stomach started to bloat and ache.

When he familiarly and painfully took an enema and ducked into the bathroom, he discovered that this cycle of life had no more obstacles!

Like a river rushing into the sea, it flowed for a thousand miles.

His rock-hard intestines felt as if they were being washed away by a flood, to the point where he had to frequently press the flush button, otherwise, he was truly afraid of clogging the toilet...

Was it smooth?

Smooth.

Was it comfortable?

Comfortable.

What is called a heavenly life? This is a heavenly life!

When he came out of the bathroom, he felt as light as a swallow, as if he could dance on the palm of a hand at any moment.

Therefore, although his voice wasn't very loud in the company, the grown man was determined to get this honey.

But this price was truly something he hadn't expected.

"Ah?"

Huo Xueying still had a small tail end of work to finish, so she hadn't looked at it at all.

At this moment, she subconsciously clicked the link, and the screen opened to the limited supply of three hundred jin of baby bok choy on special today.

【20 yuan/500g, shipping fee not included.】

???

Little Xueying, big question marks.

Not to mention whether twenty yuan a jin for baby bok choy is reasonable, just the fact that shipping isn't included... isn't that stopping others from buying it!

How could they!

But even more outrageous was that it currently showed 【158 portions sold】.

Scrolling down further, there weren't many products on top; before the page was even full, she already saw the honey ranked second to last.

It showed 【1000/500g, 6 items sold, 14 in stock】.

?!

The price of one thousand yuan truly stunned Huo Xueying as well.

She remembered the half jar of honey in her own home, and the feeling of her heart dripping blood returned.

Seeing everyone looking at her anxiously, the instructions Song Tan gave her involuntarily echoed in her ears...

Thinking about it, she inexplicably felt it was only natural.

"I mean, is the effect of this honey not worth one thousand?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the office fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

Then Sister Lan said with an unnatural expression: "The effect is there... but this is honey, how can it sell for one thousand?"

Huo Xueying subconsciously touched her own cheeks.

"Why can't it? A bottle of Mer face cream costs several thousand, and it doesn't even have the effect I have on my face."

【To be honest, I've been using Wild Fruit Reading to catch up on books recently. Switching sources, many reading voices, available on both Android and Apple.】

"How can that be the same?" The change on Sister Lan's face wasn't very obvious; mainly, her stomach felt comfortable after drinking it: "After all, they are a big brand."

Huo Xueying nodded: "That's true. Then Sister Lan, this honey is quite expensive, so don't buy it."

"I see that Tan Tan's things aren't hard to sell, so let's act according to our means."

She refreshed the page, and saw the honey stock of 14 had quickly changed to 9.

!

!

Honestly, Huo Xueying acknowledged the effect in her heart, but she didn't expect everyone to pay so readily—

At this moment, she looked around: "Who bought it?"

However, everyone looked at each other, all expressing doubt about the price.

Only the fatty on the side raised his hand:

"I bought a bottle."

Little did they know that in another city, the customers who had previously bought Song Tan's wild vegetables and bamboo shoots online due to a relative's introduction formed a small group—

Rainbow Square, Cloud Square Dance Team.

The square dance aunties who had hired a professional videographer to film their dance videos had heard the wealthy sisters brag about the effects of this honey; in order to slim their stomachs a bit more and feel lighter, they also slashed a heavy cut into their pensions.

Of course, what was displayed before everyone at this moment was that the sales in this shop seemed to be faking orders.

Every time it refreshed, there was a change.

This was outrageous; are people so willing to spend money now?

Everyone in the office looked at each other; if one thousand yuan could buy face cream and have this effect, everyone might grit their teeth and buy it.

But honey...

Only the fatty felt secure in his heart—not to mention anything else, with the honey, he wouldn't need to use an enema every day, right?

Huo Xueying saw everyone's hesitation and muttered in her heart: Tan Tan is so kind to send such expensive things!

But since she had already given away half a jar, she had to bring her some sales, right?

But looking at everyone's appearance, it seemed they were reluctant...

She felt conflicted and complicated, her fingers unconsciously scrolling down the page to refresh...

????!

!

Why did the honey page turn gray!

!

And in the distant Imperial Capital, Lu Chuan looked at the group-buying link and the 9 jars of honey and 30 jin of various vegetables he had just ordered, and his heart suddenly let out a sigh of relief. ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
