Chapter 222 - Chapter 222 Plan to go to the provincial capital_1

Chapter 222: Plan to go to the provincial capital_1 Chapter 222: Plan to go to the provincial capital_1 If these people’s fanatical praise could be mistaken by readers as support and a filter for the author, then what came next from this rich reader–

After honey had resolved the troubles of constipation for his ninety-year-old mother, allowing her to sleep soundly, he then threw two generous gold rewards onto the website, where they hung for an entire day–

The entire group was in an uproar.

“I don’t believe it! It’s just honey, isn’t it? Look how much you’re raving about it, just tell me where to buy it, I want to see for myself!”

More and more people started asking for honey in the comments, leading many new readers to wonder: What’s going on, is the author starting to sell products now? Even boosting comments shouldn’t look like this, right?

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, editor Yun Feng quickly stepped in to remind them:

“Don’t give out the link, definitely don’t give out the link, once you do, you won’t be able to explain yourself!”

Especially since the honey is sold for such a high price, although everyone knows it’s good stuff, some people might not take kindly to it.

Once it stirs up more attention, given the current climate, it wouldn’t be a good thing for neither the author nor the seller.

Lun Chuan understood this in his heart and nodded:

“Rest assured, I will buy some more and reward the group, but I ask everyone not to talk about it in the group anymore.”

“I will also make a note of the seller’s address, but not leave it too detailed.”

But from what he knew, the deliveries there were all packaged by the courier station, and the phone number left was that of Grandpa Song Youde.

Grandpa Song Youde, due to his old age, used a feature phone. Out of fear of being scammed, he rejected all calls from unknown area codes.

Anyway, he didn’t need to take deliveries or pick up packages himself.

Song Tan did this intentionally.

She knew how good her products were, and to prevent people from calling frequently to rush orders, she decided to set up a small barrier.

Firstly, real customers would communicate through WeChat, which also has a call function, so urgent matters wouldn’t be delayed.

Secondly, she really couldn’t stand answering phone calls!

Therefore, unless a buyer was really determined to the point of showing up at her door, she wasn’t worried about being rushed.

However, Lun Chuan sighed, feeling ashamed; he sent these gifts partly as a token of appreciation to his readers, and he genuinely wanted to help this young rural girl.

But he hadn’t anticipated that the popularity would grow too big and go beyond his control, so he could only stop there.

At least he had helped to clear some inventory, somewhat alleviating some pressure for the other party, right?

The pressure indeed had eased a bit, but Song Tan also realized something:

It seems people in big cities have more purchasing power!

In their local farmer’s market, although they rely on quickly selling out, about three hundred pounds of vegetables would almost saturate the market.

What’s more, after waiting for so long, not a single discerning wholesaler had come to negotiate, and although she might not lower her prices, the absence of inquiries made her feel as if casting pearls before swine; something was missing.

The sole Zhucheng customer did have money, but it was just too far away, with truck transportation taking nearly a day; many vegetables wouldn’t stay fresh upon arrival.

The customer didn’t seem to care and was even discussing ordering more onions, garlic, and other side dishes…

After pondering for a while, she realized that spending every day in the village made her less mindful of broader considerations.

Ning City, as the provincial capital, had high housing and living costs, but people’s incomes were also high!

High income brought confidence, allowing people to buy things without hesitation; looking at her WeChat customer base, Ning City’s customers were all very straightforward!

With that being the case, what was she waiting for?

“Mom, in a couple of days when the bok choy is ready, please hire more people to start picking and packaging by 8pm, and I’ll head out to sell them in Ning City at dawn.”

From their urban area, it would take about three to four hours to reach Ning City. From their old home, they would need to plan for five hours of travel.

Wu Lan was rather reluctant, “Why go through all this trouble? Your pickup truck can’t hold much anyway, travelling all that distance. Driving at dawn is so dangerous…”

Song Tan ignored the topic of danger and comforted her at this moment, “Mom, we’ve been selling in our city, where the spending power is limited. My pickup can carry a maximum of 750 kilograms, that’s 1500 pounds, and it would take us a week to sell it all if we did it every other day.”

“But at the First People’s Hospital in Ning City, the entire hospital is our customer base, not to mention the patients. Most of my customers come from there.”

“When the truck is full of goods and parked in the hospital’s market, who knows, it might be sold out by the morning.”

The population density in the provincial capital is a completely different story from that of Yun City, let alone being right next to a hospital.

“Also, this time, I want to bring Qiaoqiao and Brother Yanping along.”

It made sense to bring them, and Wu Lan nodded, “It’s unfamiliar territory over there; at least the two of them can give you a hand.”

In the midst of the conversation, she had apparently forgotten that her daughter had actually worked in Ning City for two years.

Ah, the days of earning money from farming had been so dazzling that the bitter times before seemed to start fading away.

Thinking it over, she hesitated again, “Maybe we shouldn’t take Qiaoqiao, though. It’s crowded there, and if he causes a scene…”

But Song Tan shook her head, “Mom, I mainly want to take Qiaoqiao. There’s a big children’s amusement park in Ning City, and Qiaoqiao has never been to a park before. He’s been behaving so well recently, obedient, and helpful. I want to take him to the amusement park to have some fun.”

Wu Lan’s eyes began to redden.

Yet she still felt uneasy, “But driving at night…”

“Mom, it’s okay. I know the road conditions well enough to be safe, and there’s less traffic on the roads at night. Trust me to be steady.”

In the end, Wu Lan nodded.

But she soon had another idea:

“Don’t just bring bok choy, bring all kinds of vegetables! Take more tea leaves, take more honey, in case regular customers want to buy on the spot.”

“After all this effort of going there, it’d be such a loss not to earn more.”

Song Tan: …

Goodness gracious, true to form as the mother focused on money,

It was just…

“We’ve run out of honey, sold the last of it today. I’m about to deliver the goods to town and will buy some more glass jars on the way.”

“Sold out?!”

Wu Lan was instantly overjoyed, “Buy! Buy more! Stock up!”

At the same time, she loudly instructed, “Qiaoqiao, remember to harvest more honey tomorrow afternoon! Your sister said she’ll take you to the amusement park in a few days!”

The peach blossoms were blooming profusely recently, and the bees collecting pollen had produced honey that was even more beautifully colored. So, harvesting in a few days was sure to yield plenty of honey.

The next moment, Qiaoqiao’s cheer erupted from Xin Jun’s room, and he rushed out excitedly, looking at Song Tan with such eagerness!

Song Tan: …

She had planned to surprise Qiaoqiao.

Now she could only ask, “Have you finished your lessons? Have you learned everything? Have you done today’s homework? If not, we’re not going!”

Qiaoqiao, in a super loud voice:

“Not yet!”

Then he dashed back into his room.

Song Tan laughed happily–because Qiaoqiao was now, truly, becoming more cheerful and outgoing!
