Chapter 226: Sold Out

Imperial Capital, Wanhe Garden.

Lu Chuan placed the order and finally let out a long sigh:

"Mom, next time if someone sends things, don't accept them."

They had originally met in the hospital because of a bowl of dumplings; they weren't actually close. As a result, when the other party saw them being discharged, they even sent an extra piece of aged old ham.

From the other party's perspective, it was probably because they had eaten a lot of good things in the hospital and felt bad, so they sent some gifts to show their appreciation.

After all, Ren'ai was a famous Grade A tertiary hospital in the Imperial Capital. Because of the many medical insurance restrictions, those who stayed there were basically not short of money.

A piece of ham, in the other party's view, might not be worth mentioning.

But Lu Jing, who received the ham, couldn't help but calculate the price...

This, this was just a few bowls of dumplings, and the other party had already brought big bags and small bags of nutritional supplements to the hospital; why were they still sending gifts?

Wasn't it obvious that their family was taking advantage?

With no other choice, Lu Jing had to return the favor and took a box of tea leaves sent by Song Tan over.

First sending ham, and then immediately having a gift of equal value returned—the intention not to deepen the relationship was very obvious.

However.

At this moment.

On the kitchen floor, inside a large transparent plastic bag, a neatly cleaned whole sheep was lying there awkwardly, the red and white meat exceptionally fresh.

That's right, the other party sent another gift.

Lu Jing also looked helpless: "I didn't want to accept it either, but they drove directly to the entrance of the residential complex today; I couldn't just leave them there."

"They said it was Yanchi Tan sheep, not a bit fishy or gamey, and a friend brought it back directly by car from there... they specially sent us one."

The Tan sheep of Xia City is famous nationwide; Lu Jing really couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to bring it over.

"I'm still working; it's a hassle to chop the bones of a whole sheep like this, so you handle it; you have more talent for cooking than Mom."

It was precisely for this sheep that they ordered so many vegetables and honey; one was to keep a portion for their own family, and the other was to give the other party another return gift.

The other party's sincerity was so obvious that it would be inappropriate for them to keep being polite back and forth. Moreover, Lu Chuan saw that the other party had clear eyes, so they should be decent people; there was no need to keep them at a distance.

Thinking about it this way, he felt much more at ease.

This time, it was a return gift for treating them as proper friends, so there were mostly vegetables.

The mother and son stared at the bag of mutton and pondered their lunch together.

Braised lamb chops? Charcoal-grilled lamb leg? Or lamb offal soup? Stewed lamb with carrots?

Slurp!

And over here, in the company where Huo Xueying worked, the entire office was filled with complaints:

"I haven't bought it yet, how is it gone?"

"Exactly! I just hesitated for a moment; is this really not them faking orders themselves?"

Sister Lan's annoyance was written all over every pore, while the fatty on the side seemed to have picked up a big bargain:

"Hehe, I bought it."

Now, everyone stopped caring about whether they were familiar or if there were discounts, and one after another, they dug Song Tan's WeChat out of their contacts and asked anxiously:

"Song Tan, why is your honey sold out? Are you restocking? I was planning to buy a bottle too."

Little did they know that in Yuncheng, Song Tan looked at the twenty jars of honey in front of her and asked Qiao Qiao: "Is it really gone?"

"It's gone," Qiao Qiao counted on his fingers for her:

"Sister, you already sent out the previous forty-plus jars of honey. Later, Qiao Qiao went to the mountain to shake it once more, but it hasn't finished fermenting yet, so that's all there is."

No stock, well, that's something that can't be rushed, so she had to reply one by one:

【Sorry, there wasn't much left to begin with, and it's sold out now. The next wave will take at least a week.】

Peach blossoms and Cherokee roses are blooming in competition; after the bees collect it, they still have to ferment the honey slowly—everything is left to time.

In short, as long as there are no big orders, it can barely keep up with sales.

But when Sister Lan heard Song Tan say this, it was truly a case of regretting not doing it sooner.

Don't look at how she was picking on the expensive price and picking on it not being a big brand earlier. The old saying goes: "The picky ones are the real buyers."

Sister Lan had actually made up her mind that as long as she hesitated for a certain amount of time, she would definitely pay!

Now it's fine; both her psychological preparation and wallet preparation were ready, but the stock was gone.

Between the lines, it was obvious that there would be stock in at least a week... so how were they supposed to get through this week?

If it were before, with honey placed in front of them, everyone might not necessarily think to drink it, but now that they had experienced its effects, who would be willing not to enjoy it properly?

With this hesitation, those who were reluctant to place an order because of the one thousand yuan became even more annoyed.

Sister Lan had a sense of loss that her money couldn't be spent; at this moment, she hatefully refreshed the page, and then discovered with surprise—

The stock of baby bok choy at the very top was also decreasing rapidly!

At first, 180 portions were sold; how long had it been? It had already sold 314 portions!

Outrageous!

This twenty-yuan-a-jin baby bok choy, even if shipped with ice, could it be as fresh as the vegetable market?

Is it worth it?

Eating a vegetable requires shipping it from thousands of miles away for dozens of yuan in shipping fees, and those green onions, ginger, and garlic—she had a pot on her balcony, yet they were selling so expensively here?!

Of course, Sister Lan wasn't the only one muttering in the office, but while everyone muttered, their refreshing actions didn't stop—

Pull down and release, pull down and release.

In less than half an hour, all the baby bok choy was sold out.

The page turned gray, and then it moved to the last position, actually competing with that person for the honey that was no longer meant to be.

Everyone had nothing left to say, because the entire group-buying page only had green onions, garlic, mustard greens, and tea leaves left...

How should one put it?

No one wanted to be a fool.

Spending a large sum of money from thousands of miles away to buy green vegetables that can be seen everywhere in the market sounds like having more money than brains.

But...

"Why is this green onion sold out too?!"

Sister Lan's voice raised instantly, and then she openly called out to the rare male colleague in the department:

"Quick, quick, quick! Did anyone buy mustard greens? Join me for a portion!"

And in Yuncheng.

The construction team that had just arrived was surveying the site in front of and behind the house, and Song Tan moved the vegetables that Seventh Uncle had listed from the back of the truck, finally finding a moment of leisure:

"Huh, I found that having a mini-program is really much more convenient; I sold quite a lot of vegetables early this morning."

After muttering, seeing the three little local dogs that had been rolling around in the fields and hillsides approaching while whimpering, she finally realized—

"Huh, where are Wu Lei and his girlfriend?"

Wu Lan and Aunt Lianhua were fiddling with the meat and vegetables in front of them; the freshness had long passed, and they didn't even lift their heads upon hearing this:

"They went to the back mountain, saying they wanted to see the peach blossoms. Oh right, when Lili went out, she was holding a very large silver-white tablet in her hand, and a very tall phone stand..."

【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.】

Wu Lan was also a veteran Tremble lover, muttering at this moment: "Is she going to film a Tremble video?" ===== CHAPTER 227 =====

Until Wu Lan is also a veteran fan of Tremble, and she muttered at this moment: "Is she planning to film a Tremble video?"
