Chapter 542

The weather at the end of July is truly getting hotter by the day; early in the morning, before the sun has even risen, the surroundings already feel like a sweltering steamer.

Qiaoqiao sighed: "So hot..."

Even he, who isn't particularly sensitive to heat, said this; Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun were drenched in sweat just from eating breakfast, and only after washing their faces in a disheveled state did they begin to organize the ingredients.

Taking advantage of the morning, they are going to pack the tea egg seasoning packets!

They had prepared plenty of tea leaves, but since there were only a few jin of the other seasonings, they didn't plan to hire anyone; the family members just chatted and got it done while they were at it.

Song Tan took out the non-woven fabric bags, and seeing Qiaoqiao carrying a bucket, intending to feed the pigs and dogs, she hurriedly said: "Qiaoqiao, I'll feed them in a while; you go start a livestream first, and let everyone see how this tea egg seasoning is made."

It's also a way to get in some livestreaming hours—after all, since she signed a contract, there are still minimum monthly requirements.

"Okay!"

Qiaoqiao ran over excitedly to set up his phone, asking as he went: "Then can I teach the children how to make this seasoning?"

Song Tan looked at Grandpa Qi Lin, who was holding his bowl—the porridge hadn't cooled yet, but he wasn't in a hurry, just eating it slowly, small mouthful by small mouthful.

"Why look at me? You can find recipes for tea egg seasoning all over the internet. The one we figured out last night, if it weren't for the excellent ingredients, it would only taste slightly better; whoever wants to learn, let them learn."

Qiaoqiao understood immediately: "Okay! If there are children who can't afford our seasoning, they can buy it themselves and make it themselves!"

Indeed, a seasoning packet costs 20 yuan, which is only enough to boil a pot of a dozen or twenty eggs—the ones others sell online cost twenty yuan at most, but they contain ten small packets, and one packet can boil at least thirty eggs!

By comparison, their family's is indeed quite expensive.

Only Tang Xiaodong looked at the time in a daze: "It's only five-thirty in the morning... Starting a livestream at this hour, you guys really don't care about the viewer count!"

Starting a stream at midnight would be livelier than this!

"What else can we do?" Song Tan said while stuffing old eggplants into a bucket—it's too hot, the vegetables at home are still trying their best, but they aren't working hard enough, so inevitably some fish slipped through the net and secretly grew old.

She added matter-of-factly: "It's so hot, of course we have to work early in the morning. It doesn't matter how many people are watching; anyway, we only have a few hundred seasoning packets in this batch, so they'll sell even without a livestream."

Just kidding, her shop has never been operated, yet it already has over seventy thousand followers.

Tang Xiaodong:...

Is this the willfulness of someone who doesn't worry about sales? It really sounds so satisfying!

And over here, Qiaoqiao's livestream has also started!

【The early bird gets the worm! Look what I found!】

【I just changed into my running shoes ready to jog, but the streamer started the stream... I changed back into my slippers.】

【I'm so sleepy from working overtime early in the morning and rushing to the subway; ah ah ah, streamer, you are my refreshing artifact!】

【A mom reporting in—streamer, what are you selling today? Hurry up and list it; my child is crying from craving it, and Mom is craving it too.】

【I'm a mother of two, it's like this, streamer, please list the items in your shop again; I'll let my child call you Daddy!】

【To the person above... that's not necessary.】

【Mother of two, you're going to make me laugh to death.】

【Pregnant woman here! Who understands constipation during pregnancy? Ah ah ah, snow fungus, please list it quickly; I'm crying on the toilet early in the morning.】

【Good heavens, I didn't sleep all night and stayed up until now to enter the livestream; why is everyone so full of resentment this morning?】

【It's not that the resentment is heavy in the morning, it's that there are fewer people in the morning, so our comments can slowly be seen...】

The comments are varied, but there really aren't many viewers; it's been five minutes since the stream started, and there are only a little over a thousand viewers.

Qiaoqiao, however, is not in a hurry at all; he doesn't look at his phone as usual, but is busy with his own affairs. Only after tidying up the table does he sit down and face the camera:

"Children, the tea leaves from our mountain have been brought back, and we are making tea egg seasoning packets for everyone. Friends who like them can buy them themselves. Those who don't want to buy them can look at the ingredients and mix them themselves."

After he finished speaking, he took his phone and aimed it at the basins of spices on the table:

"This is the recipe we selected; we need star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, bay leaves... this is salt... this is rock sugar..."

After introducing all the ingredients, he sat down: "Later we will put these into non-woven bags; children who want to learn can write it down."

After he finished speaking, he first picked up the Sichuan peppercorns:

"One packet needs 5 grams of Sichuan peppercorns..."

Comments:...

【He really wants to teach me—laugh to death, my five-square-meter rental room doesn't even have a place to put a table.】

【Contemporary young people stay up late to daydream, just not eating breakfast.】

【Tea eggs, yay! I have a small pot that I just used to make a late-night snack and breakfast, and I'm not afraid of getting fat!】

【Tea eggs aren't healthy, right? You can't eat too many...】

【To the person before, are you planning to eat a whole pot a day? Nothing is healthy if you eat too much of it.】

【Wait, the streamer is still introducing the weight; he is really honest...】

【Teaching the recipe in such detail, aren't you afraid your own seasoning packets won't sell?】

【Laugh to death, the streamer's things are only ever in short supply; how could they not sell?】

【You're overthinking it; watermelons, peaches, snow fungus, and pickles are sold everywhere, but I'm the one who can't forget the streamer's, begging him to sell them.】

【Wait, the tea leaves used for these tea eggs—are they really old tea leaves?!】

【Absurd! Shouldn't tea eggs be made with green tea, black tea, or Pu-erh?】

【Exactly, these old leaves were obviously cut off and discarded; this is too perfunctory.】

【The streamer's way of eating is too ugly.】

【Once you get famous, you just openly harvest the leeks!】

【To the ones above, I advise you to be cautious; Xiao Jiang, who said he was ugly and harvesting leeks last time, is now posting on Weibo begging the streamer to list items...】

【Although I don't know about tea, if the streamer dares to sell it, I dare to buy it!】

【Trust the streamer; if he can film it, it must be trustworthy!】

【By the way, those crushed seasoning packets online, you can't tell what the raw materials are at all; do you know what tea they use?】

【I don't care! Post the link directly!】

【Streamer, we have to go to work at eight o'clock; hurry up and post the link!】

【Exactly, hurry up, ah ah ah, otherwise I won't be able to grab any after I go to work!】

Perhaps because it's too early, there are few people in the comments, and basically everyone can see every comment posted, so it's actually very suitable for everyone to argue; now the comments are a mess, with everyone having their own opinions.

However, usually, Zhang Yanping would be watching the comments, but today he was hit by the bad news of being given time off and had no mood to manage the business at all.

At this moment, everyone else is packing seasoning packets, and only he is sitting lonely in a corner, eating tea eggs with white rice porridge.

Crack!

He cracked one open, peeled it, ate it in two bites, and slurped down a mouthful of the cooled porridge.

Crack!

He cracked another one open, peeled it, ate it in two bites, and slurped down another mouthful of porridge...

And just at this moment, Wu Lei rushed down from upstairs: "Yanping, Tan Tan said I could take twenty seasoning packets home; she already deducted the money!"

Zhang Yanping glanced at him, thinking: Silly boy, these were meant to be given to your family anyway; your salary is all with your mother!
