Chapter 461: Yellow-bellied tit

~8 min read 1,415 words

When Brother Xiao Zhang's car drove over, he was immediately shocked by the neat rows of boxes in the courtyard.

He turned his head and looked at his Brother Wu Ling van with empty seats with heartache—although it is known in the world that "you never know how many people can be stuffed into this car," peaches are not people, they can't be squeezed!

"You have so many boxes, I can't fit them! Send them in two days!"

Song Tan looked back—where is this?

There are still so many baskets left to pack!

But the peaches are picked, they must be sent out quickly, otherwise how can they take care of tomorrow?

So she took out her phone: "Old Zhao, I can't pick watermelons today, can you let your nephew drive a car over to help me pull a load of goods? I'll pay the price."

And then said to Brother Xiao Zhang: "His car is small, he can pull!"

And the Old Zhao on the other end of the phone was heartbroken: "How can you not take care of it? It's only early July, it's impossible that there are no watermelons!"

"I'm busy packing peaches, not enough manpower, let's slow down for a day."

Tomorrow, the rice transplanting will be finished, and Wu Lei can continue to pick watermelons. After all, peaches can't wait, and watermelons can't wait either!

Old Zhao was stunned: "What peaches? Good job Song Tan! Your peaches are ripe and you don't tell me? Looking down on this vegetable market of mine?"

"Isn't it 20 per jin? I'll let my nephew drive over and pull them, I guarantee you'll earn a big sum!"

"Oh." Song Tan tore off a piece of tape with an expressionless face: "Peaches are expensive, 80 per jin for retail."

Old Zhao:...

He sighed: "You set this price more and more wildly, not treating RMB as money at all!"

Wait!

He reacted: "You just said you were busy picking peaches today... why, there are people who want them at 80 per jin?"

"Yeah." Song Tan tore off a piece of tape quickly, sealed another box, pushed it to Zhang Yanping to stick the order, and replied: "A wholesaler here contracted half the orchard, and another wave was sold in the livestream room—not many, three hundred boxes!"

Old Zhao "swooshed" and bounced off the recliner!

"I want them too!"

He screamed frantically: "You have peaches and you don't tell me? Are you not treating me as a brother?"

Wu Lan, who was listening on the side, glanced at Song Tan—young people nowadays, calling everyone brothers. Old Zhao's daughter is older than Tan Tan!

Result, these two, one calls big brother, one opens mouth and is nephew...

Tsk.

"Don't get involved, there aren't many people in our small city with high consumption ability, peaches won't be fresh if left for a long time!" Song Tan kindly persuaded.

"Don't worry about it! I definitely have a way—give me 10 jin first!"

Old Zhao's voice was so loud that everyone nearby heard it without turning on the speakerphone.

... Ten jin?

Song Tan expressionless: "Then wait, call your nephew to drive over, you pay the car fee, I'll give you ten jin of peaches."

Running back and forth from the city, 500 yuan is about it.

Old Zhao:...

He hummed and hawed: "You contracted half the orchard with 80 per jin peaches and you are still so calculating... fine fine fine, I'll tell him."

Song Tan also laughed: "Wholesale definitely isn't this price, when have I let you suffer?"

Old Zhao was happy to agree.

Brother Xiao Zhang, who listened to the whole scene, also breathed a sigh of relief.

He added a stack of express orders to the background, and then looked at the peaches—

Green and fluffy, with a little red... really beautiful!

"These peaches are 80?"

While his hands didn't stop, he also helped stick orders, check, and move.

Wu Lan saw it in her eyes and liked this nimble young man, so she took a peach and stuffed it into his hand: "Come, taste it, see what 80 yuan peaches taste like."

To be honest, Brother Xiao Zhang really didn't want to taste it.

It's not that he is coy, nor that he doesn't like to eat. It's that past bloody experience tells himself: once tasted, it's hard to resist the urge to spend money!

Especially since there is a pregnant wife with a big appetite at home.

But people stuffed the peach into his hand, and he couldn't say he wanted to take it back... that would be too inappropriate, right?

So he could only steal joy and sadness and "crack" bit the big green peach—

Mmm really delicious sob sob...

He became more and more tearful, how much money would he have to spend this time?

Song Tan looked at him: "If you want to eat at home, it's the same as Boss Qian, he's wholesale, 55 per jin."

Boss Qian actually wanted to eat watermelon.

But his family was busy, he didn't have the heart to mention it, so he could only stroll in the courtyard, helping to sort peaches, now he didn't care about this box or two, just radiant and satisfied.

Even quite enthusiastically said: "Young man, don't buy now, wait for my brother to come over and talk business tonight, these peaches will become 50 per jin, 5 jin is only 250, how cost-effective!"

Brother Xiao Zhang:... Is this price a bit unpleasant to hear?

He looked at the peach in his hand again—such a big head, 5 jin can have 10, right?

80, ah no 55, or 50, really delicious and worth it!

And 50 yuan, compared to 80, it's so cheap!

He was instantly shaken.

However, this thought just turned, Brother Xiao Zhang instantly woke up, surprised at his extravagant style—

Once upon a time, 20 yuan per jin winter bamboo shoots, the couple hesitated for several days, found a bunch of excuses before eating them.

Now it's good, 50 per jin peaches, he said buy and buy!

But thinking of his wife's six-month pregnancy...

He gritted his teeth: "Buy it!"

Song Tan smiled at him: "Is sister-in-law pregnant? Eating more has benefits, just

Brother Xiao Zhang nodded, his hands moving non-stop to stick labels—selling peaches is simple like this; you just need to stick them one by one onto the printed shipping labels.

Zhang Yanping had already finished checking the multiple quantities for the same address earlier.

One hand was busy, and the other wasn't idle either, but peaches eventually come to an end; after a few bites down to the pit, Brother Xiao Zhang couldn't bear to spit it out, just mumbling as he asked:

"Until what month can you sell these peaches?"

Zhang Yanping finally finished organizing all the peaches ordered in the livestream today, let out a sigh of relief, and subconsciously said:

"If the cooperation talks go well, once the fruit is picked in the next two days, Boss Qian will haul them away and we won't be selling any more."

The so-called 'bagging the garden' means taking the entire orchard, including all sizes of fruit.

Of course, since the peaches are so delicious, Song Tan will likely keep a portion for the family to eat, but that quantity is limited, and they certainly won't be sold out anymore.

Brother Xiao Zhang gasped in shock!

Such delicious peaches, at such a favorable price, and he can only buy them once?!

At this moment, he couldn't care about the cost: "Give me... give me 6 boxes!"

One box for the wife, one for himself, one for the wife, one for the parents, one for the wife, one for the parents-in-law...

Only then would there be enough for everyone to share!

Meanwhile, Boss Qian's expression on the side became increasingly comfortable.

I mean, no one can resist these peaches!

Even a young man collecting express deliveries in the countryside has such boldness; this wave of his is absolutely secure!

The chapter title is because I found a yellow-bellied tit this evening.

I don't know what happened, it couldn't fly or stand.

I brought it home and asked a neighbor for a cage to raise it... it's much better now, at least it can hop around and peck at me.

But it still refuses to fly away. I'll try to release it tomorrow.

Ah, today was really hard, busy from morning till night, so tired.
