Chapter 289 289. Insufficient budget
Hearing what Song Tan said, grandma no longer cared about this new customer. She looked at the remaining peach petals in the basket and thought about it with Aunt Lianhua's mother-in-law:
“Do you think there is enough left for 100 boxes?”
“I reckon it’s about the same.”
The old lady smiled and reached out to grab another handful of petals and stuffed them into the box.
She is old but has a steady hand. When she looked at the small scale, it was indeed 10 grams.
But she still added a handful of petals to make up for the loss.
This operation left the young couple dumbfounded——
In other words, where can’t we pick ordinary peach petals? Still have to buy it?
And such a big basket has been sold? !
That’s outrageous!
“How much does this box cost?”
The girl with her hair curled in wool couldn't help but ask.
“It’s cheap, just gather some popularity, 20.”
It rained and the roads were difficult to walk, so Song Tan also helped pack little brother Zhang without even raising his head:
“Go to Taotaobao and search for the [Pastoral Notes] store. I have everything sold in the store. If it’s not sold in the store, it’s gone.”
And Qiaoqiao was wiping the dust on the beehive with a dry towel. At this moment, he looked at the heavy rain outside and couldn't help but feel worried:
“The bees haven’t moved yet, why is it raining so fast…”
In short, everyone in the family has their own busy work. Even Brother Zhang, who had been enthusiastically advising them all the way, was immersed in the number and could not be distracted.
——Just, it seems very perfunctory.
The young couple originally thought they would be warmly received by the rural family, but they did not expect that the other party would look at them with lukewarm attitude. However, they spoke with such certainty - the packing scene in front of them couldn't be just to deceive them, right?
After thinking about it, I decided to take my boyfriend and open Taotaobao together.
Isn’t it outrageous?
I came to buy souvenirs in person, and finally opened Taotaobao while standing in someone’s yard.
This evil information age.
Fortunately, after Qiaoqiao finished cleaning the beehive, she diligently brought stools to the two guests, and then looked at them enthusiastically: "What do you want to buy?"
Sister said just now that a box costs 80 yuan, so the cost of raising bees has increased again!
The only thing is to make more money.
—Finally someone came to greet them!
Although this boy looked a little different, the couple still felt a little flattered.
Then he hurriedly pointed to the tea bag that was the best-selling one in the store, with monthly sales reaching more than 7,000: "Is this tea bag really the same as this tea?"
“Why is it so expensive?”
Qiaoqiao now knows a lot of words. She pointed at it and commented: "Because it's really good!"
“Exceptionally fragrant.”
No matter how fragrant it is, 10,000 kilograms of unknown tea is too outrageous, right?
And this tea bag, it was specifically stated on the details page that it is exactly the same as tea leaves. How come this gram is sold for 50 yuan? So many people are buying it?
“Because it needs to be packed”
Qiaoqiao pointed to the busy people in the yard: "Everyone is so busy, packing will take up time."
All right.
All interpretation rights rest with the seller.
The girl hesitated: "Then if I buy one gram, will you sell it? Is there any discount?"
Qiaoqiao put her hands behind her back, took a step back, and looked at the two people warily: "Our products are never discounted. But if you come to buy them at home, you don't have to pay the postage."
The girl then lowered her head and looked - Oh my goodness, the items in this store are so expensive, but they don’t even include free shipping!
She fell silent. However, the young man next to him thought for a moment: "There is nothing left in your store, tea leaves, tea bags, cabbage... nothing else?"
"Yes." Qiao Qiao clapped her fingers: "Onions, ginger, garlic, and nepeta, but these are not much in quantity. We have to sell them in urban areas, so we won't sell them online."
“Honey is also available, but it’s not on the shelves yet. You have to ask other uncles and aunts first.”
“There are also Tremella fuciformis, and you can stew a large pot of it for 80 yuan. Did you miss it?”
The young man lowered his head and saw that there was a postage link next to it. Sure enough, he had misjudged it——
“80 yuan for 10 grams?”
“This white fungus...” is too expensive.
The young man was about to speak but stopped.
Hearing what he said, Qiao Qiao suddenly reacted - her mother said that when there are guests at home, she should pour tea and bring snacks and fruits!
He quickly asked: "There is white fungus soup in the pot, do you want to drink it?"
With that said, he hurried to the stove and took a big bowl and filled each of them with a bowl.
This pot was cooked by the seventh cousin with crushed white fungus, because everyone in the family could eat it. Although Song Tan didn't care how much he ate, the seventh cousin still added a lot of water to it.
Now the two big bowls don't look particularly thick, and... a big bowl as big as the face plate, it's too exaggerated to serve it!
The girl glanced at the big bowl in embarrassment and said delicately, "I can't finish it."
Qiaoqiao blinked: He has never seen anyone come home who said they couldn’t finish the food.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "Then... do you want to eat harder?"
At this time, the girl couldn't help laughing, and reached out to take the big bowl: "Okay, I'll try harder! Thank you."
Then he glanced at his boyfriend and said, "Work harder. If you can't finish it later, it will be yours."
With that said, the two of them took the spoons and put a spoonful into their mouths - they were traveling all the way and really wanted to drink some soup with water...
Hmmmmmm! !
What does this smell like? !
With a spoonful of white fungus soup in their mouths, both of them were stunned on the spot, and then couldn't help but take another sip, and another sip...
It wasn’t until he finished half the bowl in one go that he came back to his senses:
“Is this the white fungus you sell?”
“Yes.” Qiaoqiao looked at the two of them eating, and suddenly felt good—just like watching a piglet eating on the mountain.
The girl couldn't help but feel excited: "Are all the things in your house of this quality?"
Qiaoqiao smiled, and then nodded heavily: "Our food is super delicious!"
“The peach petals…”
The girl thought about it and found that the only products they sold were cabbage and peach petals, which were the cheapest.
Although there are only 10 grams of peach petals, because there is no scale, it looks like a lot, and the psychological feeling is different.
Qiao Qiao blinked: "The peach petals have no taste, but they are very fragrant. After drinking it, your mouth will be fragrant! But..."
He looked again in the direction where Brother Zhang was packing, then shook his head and said, "I can't sell you the peach petals. Others have bought them, and there aren't many left. The flowers on the mountain have all withered."
Little lovers:…
The two large bowls of white fungus soup were drank cleanly. The seventh cousin was sitting in front of the stove and playing TikTok. He looked up and saw the two of them put the bowls in front of the stove, Ai Ai, and let out a "hum" without leaving a trace - With his craftsmanship, there will be no leftovers!
Brother Zhang looked at the two people walking around in the yard, full of tangles, and couldn't help but shook his head:
I told you not to come, but you didn’t listen!
Things are good now, but the budget is not enough, right?
Good night.
