Chapter 531: Good Ingredients

The weather was hot. The sun had set at seven o'clock, but the light was still very good. The family's dinner had basically been at this time recently.

Just as the dishes were served, a taxi suddenly stopped at the door. Zhang Yanping rushed out of the car: "Seventh Uncle, what do you have to eat? Hurry up and let me taste a bite, I'm so hungry!"

Leaving Qiaoqiao shouting behind: "Brother Yanping! Your suitcase!"

While saying this, he pushed two suitcases and followed into the house.

Only Xin Jun was unhurried, first paying the taxi fare, then confirming the luggage, and then calmly saying goodbye to the driver.

When the driver left, he looked at this rural villa and thought that tea at ten thousand yuan per jin really makes money! Look at how this villa is built, how beautiful it is!

It was the people of the old Song family who were shocked.

"Yanping, didn't you say you were traveling? This is only..." Wu Lan calculated—they left the day before yesterday afternoon, the family caught fish last night, until today...

"Counting it up, it's only been two days, right? What did you travel for?"

Wu Lan thought more: "Is it because you feel embarrassed to spend Qiaoqiao's money? Oh my, Qiaoqiao has been so sensible in the past six months. He treats you, it's your brotherly bond, don't be restrained! You ran so far to Haicheng, taking planes and high-speed rails, and it's only been two days... it's not even enough to stroll around the seaside."

According to her simple thinking, since so much travel money was spent, they must play enough at the local attractions to make it worth it.

Zhang Yanping felt bitter: "Don't mention it, the food outside was too terrible, I didn't even get full today—what are we eating tonight?"

"Eating what?" Seventh Uncle snorted: "Three rice buckets suddenly came back, just eat whatever I cook—do you want to eat flatbread?"

The three big young men could eat especially well, and they could finish a whole rice cooker of white rice. They came back suddenly, so naturally, dinner wasn't prepared enough tonight.

"Eat, eat, eat! Eat everything!" Zhang Yanping wasn't picky at all!

What's more, Seventh Uncle's dough-kneading skills were amazing, and flatbread in vegetable soup was also a specialty!

However...

Xin Jun was stunned: "Zhang Yanping, didn't you tell your family we were coming back tonight?"

Zhang Yanping asked back: "Didn't you say so?"

Qiaoqiao pushed the suitcase in and said loudly: "I didn't say!"

Damn!

Speaking of which, they were all seven-foot men and eight-foot burly men, and not one of them was reliable.

After the journey, the three confirmed dinner, and they rushed back to the third floor to take a shower and change clothes. It wasn't until everyone gathered in the restaurant wearing big shorts that they met Professor Song and the others.

Little did they know, Professor Song had already discussed them.

Yanran was careful. She went to watch Qiaoqiao's live broadcast replay in the evening for the past two days when she was free. At this moment, she looked carefully and shared the gossip with everyone:

"Look at this Song Qiao, white and clean, how handsome! Actually, he is very good at farm work, and he has great strength! I saw it in the video, a full bucket of yellow mud, he carried it with one hand, without any effort."

Tang Xiaodong and Qi Lin suddenly felt a sense of crisis: "This Song Tan family is really not what they seem..."

By comparison, the advantages of their senior and junior brothers and sisters being able to work in the mountains and fields were gone.

Tang Xiaodong also secretly muttered: "Especially that Zhang Yanping, he looks so strong and dark, I don't know how much energy he has when working in the fields usually! I heard he also manages the online store..."

And there was the slightly white and clean Xin Jun, who was said to be not only Qiaoqiao's tutor but also a part-time online store manager.

Mom!

Everyone in this family is a good hand, what did they come here for? Really just to eat for free!

Several people looked at each other and secretly made up their minds: they must make some achievements tonight!

Zhang Yanping was full and satisfied, squatting in the corridor crunching watermelon, while watching Song Sancheng pile up the tea leaves that hadn't dried in the courtyard into bags, and couldn't help but be curious:

"Is this old tea all of it?"

Song Sancheng laughed: "This is just the beginning!"

There weren't many tea buds picked, but there were a lot of old leaves! The pile in the courtyard was only one-fifth of what was on the mountain.

Outside the courtyard, tea branches were piled up in a stack.

Zhang Yanping was thoughtful: "The temperature has been so high these past few days... can it be sold in about two days?"

"Almost."

Seventh Uncle also stood over holding a watermelon: "This pile will be almost done after drying for another day tomorrow. Tantan bought those gauze bags, self-sealing bags, and then add some ingredients, and it can be sold—how much do you plan to sell it for?"

Zhang Yanping laughed: "That depends on you, Seventh Uncle! Is this marinade bag disposable, or can it be cooked more and more fragrant like old marinade?"

Seventh Uncle shook his head: "Old marinade gets more fragrant the more it is cooked, but the fire cannot stop, and ingredients must be added every few days."

"As for you young people now, can I not know? It's good enough if you can turn on the fire."

"This marinade is mainly for tea eggs, right? It'll only last a day or two. Any longer, and it won't work. It's not that I'm afraid of spoilage, it's that the flavor won't be good."

"What is the cost of the ingredients?" Zhang Yanping asked in detail.

Seventh Uncle thought for a while: "To sell it out, I'll make you a simple one, star anise, bay leaves, Sichuan peppercorns, and then seal a small bag of salt, a small bag of rock sugar..."

"I'll give you the recipe, you buy the ingredients yourself and calculate it."

Professor Song happened to be full and strolling, and when he heard this, his spirit was lifted!

He seemed to be able to come in handy!

At this moment, he quickly asked: "Need ingredients? I have a few self-produced and self-sold ones from the research base of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The price is a bit expensive, but the quality is good. Do you want the contact information?"

This was truly the case!

Not every academy of agricultural sciences in the country can get sufficient funding, and because their sales channels are very... very...

It's just very hard to describe.

So many varieties have not been widely circulated yet, only planted by a few cooperative bases and a small number of merchants.

Similarly, sales channels are also very thin.

Professor Song asked this with selfish motives, but he could also confirm the quality.

He felt that, don't look at it as old tea, but Song Tan's family's things, so far, nothing has been found to be unpalatable. Using some ordinary ingredients—it would be a waste.

Zhang Yanping was overjoyed!

This is Professor Song! If he endorses it and says the quality is good, what are they waiting for?

As for the price possibly being a bit expensive... laugh to death, they didn't intend to sell their tea egg marinade cheaply either!

Coincidentally, for such good things, he also felt that using ordinary ingredients would be a waste.

At this moment, his spirit was lifted: "Professor Song, then trouble you—star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, rock sugar... or others, we all need them!"

Professor Song:...

Just... don't look at him as a well-known expert, but generally, he really doesn't have many opportunities to recommend things to others, especially recommending these.

And the other party waited for him to contact without hesitation...

Oh my!

The old professor's heart, don't say, was quite comforted!

At this moment, he also laughed happily: "You wait, I'll call and ask."

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but emphasize: "Don't worry, the quality is absolutely good. I'll ask someone to send samples, if it's not good, we won't take it." ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
