Chapter 245: 245. Sold Out_1 Chapter 245: 245. Sold Out_1 Imperial City, Wanhe Garden.

After Lun Chuan placed the order, he finally heaved a sigh of relief:

“Mom, next time someone wants to give us something, don’t accept it.”

They had met in the hospital over a bowl of dumplings, which hardly made them close, and now that he was discharged, the other party had even given them an aged ham as an extra gift.

From their perspective, they probably felt a bit embarrassed for having eaten so much good food in the hospital, so they decided to offer some gifts as a gesture.

After all, Ren’ai was a well-known tertiary hospital affiliated with Imperial City’s healthcare system and imposed many insurance restrictions, so those who were admitted there were generally quite wealthy.

To them, a ham probably wasn’t worth mentioning.

But Lun Jing, who had received the ham, couldn’t help but calculate the price…

This, this is just for a few meals of dumplings, and they already brought so many nutritional products to the hospital, why are they sending more?

Isn’t this blatantly taking advantage of our family?

Having no choice, Lun Jing had to return the favor, selecting a box of tea leaves that Song Tan had sent over to give in return.

They had received a ham and immediately returned a gift of equal value, clearly indicating they weren’t interested in deepening the relationship.

However.

At this moment.

In the kitchen, on the floor, inside a large, transparent plastic bag, a neatly prepared whole sheep was uncomfortably lying there, its red and white flesh exceptionally fresh.

Yes, they had sent another gift.

Lun Jing was also helplessly saying, “I didn’t want to accept it either, but they drove straight to the neighborhood entrance today, and I couldn’t just leave them there.”

“They said it’s a Salt Pond Plateau lamb, without a hint of gamey smell, a friend drove back from there directly… and specially delivered one for us.”

Summer City’s plateau lamb was nationally renowned, and it was only because Lun Jing couldn’t refuse that she brought it over reluctantly.

“I’m still at work, it’s difficult to butcher a whole sheep like this, you handle it, you’re more talented at cooking than mom.”

It was for this sheep that he had ordered so many vegetables and honey; partly to keep some for their own home, and partly to prepare another gift in return.

Their sincerity was so clear, it would have been somewhat inappropriate to continue with mere formalities. Besides, Lun Chuan could see that the other party was upright and seemed to be a decent person; there was no need to keep them at arm’s length.

With that thought, he felt much more at ease.

This time, the gift was indeed a gesture of friendship, hence the abundance of vegetables.

Mother and son, staring at the bag of lamb, pondered over the meal for midday.

Braised lamb ribs? Grilled lamb leg? Or perhaps a lamb offal hot pot? Carrots and lamb stew?

Slurp!

Meanwhile, in Huo Xueying’s office, the entire workspace was filled with complaints:

“I haven’t bought yet, how come it’s already sold out?”

“Exactly! I just hesitated for a moment, could they be fake orders placed by themselves?”

Sister Lan’s frustration was apparent from ever pore, while a plump colleague seemed as if he had snagged a great deal:

“Hehe, I got it.”

At this, everyone stopped caring about the problems of familiarity or discounts, and they all began scrolling through their contacts to reach out to Song Tan, then anxiously asked:

“Song Tan, how come your honey is already sold out? Will there be more stock? I wanted to buy a bottle too.”

Little did they know that over in Yun City, Song Tan looked at the twenty jars of honey in front of her and asked Qiaoqiao, “Is it really all gone?”

“It is,” Qiaoqiao counted on her fingers for her:

“From the previous batch, you mailed out over forty jars of honey. Later, Qiaoqiao shook some more from the mountains, but it’s not ready yet, so we only have these left.”

With no stock left, there’s no rushing it. She could only reply one by one:

“Sorry, there wasn’t much left, and it’s all sold out now. It’ll be at least a week before the next batch is available.”

As peach blossoms and Golden Sakura trees bloomed in competition, and the bees, once they finished gathering nectar, still had to take their time to make honey–all things left to time.

In short, as long as there weren’t any large orders, they could just about keep up with the sales volume.

But when Wu Lan heard what Song Tan said, she truly regretted her past decisions.

Don’t think that just because she used to fuss over high prices or non-brand items. The old saying goes, “It’s the choosy ones who are buyers.”

Wu Lan had already made up her mind that after enough hesitation, she would definitely make the payment!

Now, both her mental readiness and her wallet were prepared, but the stock was gone.

Between the lines, it was clear that there would be nothing available for at least a week… How were they supposed to get through this week?

If you say before, with the honey right in front of them, it wouldn’t necessarily cross anyone’s mind to drink it, but now after experiencing its effects, who wouldn’t want to enjoy it properly?

With this dilemma, the people who previously hesitated to place an order because of a thousand yuan were even more vexed.

Wu Lan felt a sense of loss at not being able to spend her money, furiously refreshing the page only to be surprised to discover–

The stock for the top-listed bok choy was also rapidly depleting!

At first, 180 servings were sold, and how long had it been? Now 314 servings had been sold!

Outrageous!

This twenty-yuan per jin bok choy, even if flown in by air, could it be as fresh as that from the market?

Is it really necessary?

To eat a vegetable, you have to spend a fortune on express delivery from thousands of miles away, and those scallions, ginger, and garlic–she has a pot of them at home on the balcony, and here they are, selling for such a high price?!

Of course, Wu Lan wasn’t the only one in the office grumbling about this, but while everyone murmured, the refreshing action of their hands didn’t stop–

Pull down, release, pull down, release.

In less than half an hour, all the bok choy was sold out.

The page turned grey and was then moved to the very last place, following right after the likewise unavailable honey.

People were at a loss for words because the whole group buy page was left with only scallions, garlic, Jingjie herb, and tea leaves…

How can I put this?

Nobody wants to be a fool.

Splurging a hefty sum to buy vegetables that are easily found in the market feels like a fool with too much money.

But then…

“How is the scallion sold out too?!!”

Wu Lan immediately raised her voice and then loudly called out to one of the rare male colleagues in the department:

“Quick, quick, quick! Anyone buying Jingjie? Come join me for a share!”

…

Meanwhile, in Yun City.

The incoming construction team was conducting an on-site survey around the houses, and Song Tan, having moved the vegetables that Seventh Uncle had listed from the back of the truck, finally took a breather:

“Huh, I’ve found this app just makes things a lot more convenient, I sold a lot of vegetables first thing in the morning.”

After her murmur, she saw the three happy dogs that had scampered off into the fields and the slope returning, whining at her, and she realized–

“Mom, where are Wu Lei and his girlfriend?”

Wu Lan and Aunt Lianhua were together fussing over the meat and vegetables in front of them, the novelty having worn off by now, and without even lifting their heads when they heard her:

“They went to the back mountain to see the peach blossoms. Oh, right, when Lili left, she was carrying a big silver-white tablet and a tall phone stand… ”

Wu Lan was also an avid fan of short video apps, and she murmured, “Is she going to make a short video?”
