Chapter 43

The brighter the day, the earlier, and the temperature gradually rose.

The peach and cherry trees at the door also began to bud, the village was full of the faint green of grass and trees sprouting, and the morning mist lingered, which was exceptionally beautiful.

Song Tan edited the video and sent it out last night, and has refreshed it a hundred times since then, but hasn't gained many views.

She is practicing immortality very unprofessionally, at least her peaceful state of mind hasn't been practiced yet. Seeing this number of views made her angry, and finally, she turned grief and indignation into motivation and went to the fields to pick Chinese milk vetch.

Anyway, vegetables are not worried about selling, one trip a day, one or two thousand yuan steadily.

But today, only she and Qiao Qiao were picking.

Grandmother Wang Lifen wrapped a plastic rain cloth around her waist, tied the basket to her waist, and asked with a straw hat: "Tan Tan, I'm going to pick tea, is it too late for you to clean up the vegetables here?"

Thinking for a moment, she added: "Or should I stay, there are four people picking tea on the mountain, it doesn't matter if I'm not there."

Wu Lan hurriedly said: "It's okay, Mom, I'm here, you go pick tea, just right there are people, and it saves people from slacking off."

Actually, they are all people in the village, and the diligent people Wu Lan hired wouldn't slack off even for the sake of face.

But hearing this reason, Wang Lifen hurriedly went up the mountain.

Song Tan had just brought the picked Chinese milk vetch back, and with Qiao Qiao, the family of three was busy cleaning up, and hesitated upon hearing this:

"Picking tea leaves in the fields all day is also very hard, might as well ask Grandma to stay at home and help clean up."

Wu Lan shook her head: "Working at home isn't much easier, but I have to pay, and your grandparents won't take it—it's okay for a day or two, but if it's for a long time, your eldest uncle will be unhappy."

The pension is paid by both families, why do the old folks only help the younger son work?

This isn't about being narrow-minded, everything is about not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality.

Their family is harmonious now, also because they are particularly particular about this.

"Picking tea leaves is different, we hire someone for one hundred and fifty a day, your grandmother goes to pick tea, and she is willing to take this money."

Although she made an excuse that she was old and couldn't pick much, and only agreed to take one hundred after much persuasion, she took it after all.

Song Tan nodded, sighing again—this is a completely different mentality from farming when she was practicing!

There are too many emotions to take care of.

Wu Lan carefully picked the Chinese milk vetch she picked, and felt distressed about the wages:

"You said we only have such a piece of tea garden, usually hiring one or two people is enough. Who knows that the tea leaves grew so well this year, and you insisted on hiring two more... Now, plus your grandmother, the daily labor cost is 700 yuan."

The tea leaves this year don't know why they grew so well, just like the Chinese milk vetch in the fields, dense and fresh buds, looking at it, you know the quality must be very high.

But calculating the account: "The tea leaves are lush, one person can definitely pick four jin of Maojian a day, plus your grandmother, five jin of dry tea a day."

"Labor cost 700, plus we have fertilizer and so on, and we have to hire someone to stir-fry... calculating it, it will definitely lose money if a jin is not 300."

Wu Lan was a bit uneasy calculating: "Our tea in the mountains is not famous at all, can it work if it's sold expensive?"

Song Tan had to promise a hundred times: "Mom, don't worry! If it really doesn't work, look at our baskets of wild vegetables, selling them for half a month can make two or three thousand yuan."

"Except for me, who else has this ability?"

"After all, Tan Tan is really beautiful, she looks even better after coming back! Her skin is snow-white and translucent, youth is good, I think the stars on TV can't compare."

Wu Lan glared at her: "Is that your ability? That's our land being promising, growing good vegetables!"

Muttering on the side: "We have been farming for decades, but you, who know nothing, caught up..."

Between the words, she was both gratified and a bit sour.

Here, all the bundled Chinese milk vetch were coded in the plastic storage basket, and she didn't forget to instruct:

"Remember to leave two or three jin for your eldest uncle and aunt, last time I said I would send wild vegetables, but I didn't take care of it the next day, and now the wild vegetables are old."

"It's been almost a month since you started selling vegetables, if you don't send it this time, it's not appropriate."

Song Tan nodded: "Fine, I won't forget this time."

This time when going to the vegetable market, there were more aunts waiting on the roadside.

Everyone even helped lift the baskets, just to be able to buy vegetables quickly, Qiao Qiao skillfully took out the QR code and stuck it on his chest, and then took the plastic bag, ready to go!

He has been counting very well recently, and the aunts are willing to let him take the vegetables, Qiao Qiao was in the limelight for a while, very active.

"Girl, you accept reservations and mail them for people from other places, why don't you accept reservations for us here? I'll tell you on WeChat, come and take the vegetables and leave, how simple."

Song Tan smiled, revealing a dimple, sweet and obedient:

"Auntie, people pay for postage, every time it's dozens of yuan more."

"And people from other places can't eat such good things, unlike you, Auntie, who have discerning eyes and recognized it at a glance."

"Oh my! You little girl can really talk..."

The aunts took out their money happily, and then left with a few bundles of vegetables satisfied.

Actually, it's not because of the postage, but because the process of receiving money for reservations is very cumbersome, and it's easy to make mistakes if you're not careful.

The quantity is not large yet, and there is only this one crop at present, so it's not worth developing a mini-program for this.

Song Tan is also busy at home every day, no need to do that.

They were lively here, and the people in the vegetable market were used to it.

A girl with a silly brother, driving a pickup to sell vegetables here every day, selling very expensive, and selling very fast!

The people in this vegetable market have been watching for more than a day or two, not only the nearby vendors are inquiring, but even those buying vegetables can't help but want to join the fun and inquire:

"Big sister, you buy vegetables at this stall every day, are you doing that kind of group buying?"

"No!" This aunt said righteously.

She couldn't handle that kind of group buying on her phone at all, she had been buying vegetables at the vegetable market all her life:

"This girl's vegetables are good, we look at what time she comes in that group, and wait in advance."

Looking at the vegetable stall behind: "Only two baskets left? It's estimated that it will be sold out in half an hour."

Even though everyone watched it every day and had a number in their hearts, they couldn't help but be startled when they heard this efficiency—

This is not the busiest morning market, this is in the middle of the morning, nine or ten o'clock! Is there still this speed for selling this kind of fresh leaf vegetables?

"Then what's so good about these vegetables? Twenty yuan a jin, a family has to eat a hundred yuan a day."

The vegetable vendor next door couldn't help but ask, this way of eating is too arrogant.

And this big sister, he watched coldly, she came every day, and wouldn't be reconciled without spending a hundred or eighty yuan each time—how rich must the family be.
