Chapter 861
As for the three thousand or whatever food and lodging fee... speaking of such things, to explain it using Wu Lan's expression:
"Who are you insulting!"
For a girl like Tian Tian, who wouldn't like her upon seeing her! It's just that she's held back by her family; otherwise, she could carve out a world of her own!
But then again, perhaps it is precisely because of the pressure at home that her excellence is slowly being revealed.
At this moment, without even needing Song Tan to speak, Wu Lan waved her hand: "Just go live in the factory dormitory! Don't look at it as just a four-person room; in reality, our family hasn't recruited workers, and now that the workers have left, there's absolutely no one."
The single dormitory over there is also empty, but having nothing at all is actually less convenient than the factory dormitory.
Tian Tian also started to smile: "I knew it! I even secretly brought my clothes today!"
Speaking of clothes, Wu Lan let out an "Oh my": "The clothes you helped pick out are great! And those cotton-padded trousers! You wait, I'll get you a pair; you wear those when you ride the motorcycle from now on! It'll save your legs from freezing!"
If Tian Tian was still a bit reserved at the beginning, one could tell from her bringing her clothes directly to ask that now that she has no debt, she is truly carefree.
At this moment, she wasn't the least bit coy: "Alright, Auntie, during the winter break, I thought my dad couldn't ride the motorcycle anymore, so I didn't buy any—I didn't expect to be taking advantage of your family now."
Wu Lan hurried to the warehouse to dig one out, and here Song Tan had already handed over a roasted sweet potato: "Here, warm your hands."
Of course, it is much harder than selling to wholesalers.
"I've heard Old Song mention that your family has great aspirations and just wants to grow some for yourselves to eat and drink—I'm afraid you don't really want to specifically build a high-quality seedling base, even though that could also make money."
"After all, if your village is definitely going to plant your family's things next year, selling them will also be on a scale; I want to hitch a ride."
Wu Lan's expression turned solemn, and at this moment, she couldn't help but feel heartache: "Why aren't you an employee of our family!"
Tian Tian had already carefully peeled the skin and taken a bite, and at this moment, her eyes lit up: "I think it's worth it! It should be expensive; such delicious sweet potatoes, even if only one is sold, will have repeat customers, so sales won't be a worry."
Grandma Tang then said: "Then... there are quite a lot of people in Yunqiao Village; how can you guarantee that you can buy seedlings every time?"
Why else?
But looking at the other party's tone of voice, one knew she wasn't an ordinary person. Song Tan nodded humbly: "My parents are in poor health and may need to recuperate for a year or two, and my younger brother is still in high school. I'll stay at home to farm; my parents will have something to do, and I can look after them. Besides, with Tian Tian's help, the money earned won't be less than working outside."
"Nowadays, live-stream advertising and promotion are also quite expensive."
Song Tan held the sweet potato in her hands, her expression turning solemn:
"You go ahead and plant boldly; sales won't be a worry."
Wu Lan couldn't help but laugh: "You're just hitching a ride on the name? Next year, when my village is selling things on a scale, you can just let the suppliers come to your house to collect them all at once!"
Hmm, just taken off the stove, it's really quite warm. Song Tan kept tossing it between her two hands, sniffing the rich aroma, really reluctant to let go:
"To be honest, if I were the Song family, I wouldn't refuse you either. I've heard about your situation. It's really quite good; no one would dislike you—but relying only on emotional ties isn't reliable."
Wu Lan said casually: "It's fine, selling isn't a worry. Secretary Xiao Zhu plans to use the village's name to set up a live-streaming room. Last time Qiao Qiao helped bring traffic, we already had seven hundred thousand followers."
She just said out of the blue: "Why wouldn't it work?"
She felt a bit embarrassed when she got to this point: "You say, if I discuss it with Secretary Xiao Zhu and then communicate with the platform, can she help me certify a title like 【Yunqiao Village Villager Cooperative】?"
Repeat customers? Can repeat customers be as real as money in hand?
But live-streaming is indeed a bit metaphysical to get off the ground; Qiao Qiao being able to go viral is truly a gift of fame! Of course, his handsome little face also accounts for a very large proportion.
"It's really so fragrant! It's much more fragrant than the especially expensive sweet potatoes my colleague bought—can you sell me some of the seedling cuttings from these sweet potato vines next year?"
Even if an online store or WeChat circle of friends only sells ten orders, having repeat customers is a success; for the rest, I'll set up a stall and negotiate cooperation myself, and the clients will be solid and real.
She slowly savored the taste of the sweet potato in her mouth, and at this moment, she became increasingly certain: "When selling agricultural products, no marketing can beat quality! I want to do long-term business."
But the village is different; engaging in deception and greed for small gains—there's no difference between rural people doing it and anyone else in the world.
"Hmm." Song Tan didn't know who this person wearing a floral cotton vest was—the pink down jacket had already been taken off because of the fire.
Song Tan said without hesitation: "Nowadays, many rural people put video clips on the platform; as long as you spend a certain amount of time accumulating, more or less, you will have a few followers."
What kind of talk is that? For a 40-yuan item, the person took time off and went to great lengths to negotiate the price, and there was even talk of commissions and such between strangers.
She looked at Wu Lan, and Wu Lan shook her head decisively—one must not forget their original intention in doing things. She was just doing it for a bite to eat; why start a seedling base? Isn't making a fortune every day just pure drudgery?!
"Yes!" Wu Lan replied: "If there are any extra seedlings next year, they will all be sold, but they won't be cheap."
Tian Tian thought to herself, you are being too self-deprecating! Can someone in sales not be engaging when they speak?
Song Tan was speechless.
It hurts so much, it hurts so much! Who understands?
Can't eat a single bit!
"Then what do you plan to do?" Tired of eating sweet potatoes, she touched a piece of spicy pumpkin jerky at this moment. This one had some Sichuan peppercorns added inside, and it tasted numbing; she drooled while eating, unable to stop.
Grandma Tang nodded; she actually appreciated her very much: "I see that you think very far ahead in your work; have you never considered that your family's seedling channels are also at Wu Lan's house?"
Old Grandma Tang held the sweet potato and got her hands all dirty, having forgotten her past of roasting them in foil at home and eating them with a fork from a clean white plate.
The world is bustling, all for profit.
Tian Tian hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Then I... then I am tied too deeply to the quality in the village, and the channels all rely on you all... I don't have much sense of security."
The world is bustling, all for profit.
"There are many couples whose emotions have broken down; they all have money and ability, but looking at the overall number, there are actually few who really want to mention divorce—do you know why?"
Afterwards, she turned her head toward Song Tan: "Girl, I've understood a bit more—you don't want to engage in planting at your own home to make money in the future, right?"
Sweet potatoes themselves are also durable; if the client base isn't large, selling this is the most stable.
Song Tan's eyes lit up: "I also plan to learn from others and open an online store—the live-streaming aspect is too narrow; many people don't watch live streams, and if it's not attractive, there's no stickiness. I've tried it; I know my speaking isn't the kind that can attract people."
