Chapter 282: 282. Peach Blossom Petals Unexpectedly Bestselling_1 Chapter 282: 282. Peach Blossom Petals Unexpectedly Bestselling_1 The temperature in May had already gradually climbed to 30 degrees Celsius, making the midday sun particularly scorching.

Fortunately, Grandpa had now set up a sunshade in the yard, and with the countryside being more spacious, surrounded by mountains and forests, the gentle breezes made fans unnecessary.

But, the peach blossoms on the mountain had indeed vanished.

If they continued to bloom, Song Tan would have been worried sick, after all, it’s the fruit that makes the money.

During that period, as she kept picking the unceasing peach blossoms, and they kept blooming relentlessly, she wondered if she was perhaps giving them too much Spiritual Energy at night, causing them to focus on flowering rather than fruiting?

Fortunately!

After the earliest batch of peach blossoms faded, the first hint of green peaches finally appeared, and the mountain’s peach blossoms had completely withered, which allowed Song Tan to breathe a sigh of relief.

Next time!

Next time they bloomed, she would definitely not provide so much Spiritual Energy!

Zhang Yanping, looking at the listing of fresh peach blossom petals with over 500 sales on Taobao, pondered, “Should we take down the peach blossom petals for now?”

They had collected quite a few fresh ones, all of which had been shipped out. Some were meant to be sold after air drying, but they weren’t quite ready yet.

These were mostly purchased by people who were also buying tea bags, honey, and silver fungus, so the quantities weren’t large. But because the blossoms were seasonal, they didn’t expect much sales volume to begin with, so the 500+ orders were a pleasant surprise.

Anyway, they had tried the peach petals themselves, brewing them in water, and so returning customers were inevitable. When he put the air-dried peach petals for sale, he would be perfectly timing the market.

Zhang Yanping had already grown adept at this unending strategy of making money.

Song Tan wasn’t in a hurry, “There are still some on the mountain, no rush.”

Indeed, since May, the peach blossoms on the mountain had rapidly diminished, and after a rain shower, one could faintly see the tiny green peaches starting to sprout beneath the spent blooms.

But in the twenty-acre Peach Forest, there were always some corners where the peach trees seemed slower, still naively and cheerily blooming away.

However, this didn’t affect much; it was just a matter of timing.

Zhang Yanping went to check on the peach blossom petals that were air-drying in Grandpa’s storage room–they were a hassle to clean, requiring initial soaking and rinsing in cool boiled water, followed by air drying.

To prevent dust, they even laid gauze above and below… In short, the treatment wasn’t much different from what they gave the silver fungus.

“Then I’ll update the inventory…”

He moved the mouse to change the listing of the fresh peach blossom petals to show low stock, but as he was about to do so, the Peach Treasure Shop’s backend emitted a series of urgent beeps.

On closer inspection, in just this short while, another ten orders for fresh peach blossom petals were placed!

Fine, this must be some customer spontaneously recommending them, as most items from the store were sold in this fashion.

Ten orders were no big deal; there were still enough peach blossoms on the mountain to fulfill them.

However, as he moved the mouse again, the backend beeped repeatedly, mixed with the curious inquiries of new customers:

[Is this the place where Huahua buys peach blossoms?]

[Did Huahua buy peach blossoms from your shop?]

[Are your peach blossom petals really that good? They’re quite expensive; it wouldn’t be just marketing, would it?]

What was all this about?

Zhang Yanping quickly replied:

[Hello dear, may I ask who Huahua is? All products in our shop are worth more than their price, with a return rate of 98%. If you are unsure about the taste, you could start with buying a single portion to try it–you definitely won’t be at a loss.]

His sweet, girlish tone was perfect for soothing customers; he was now very experienced with it.

And during this process of replying, several more portions of peach blossoms were sold!

Among the buyers was a customer named Chen Huahua, marked as a returning customer, who had just purchased a staggering 100 portions!

At 10 grams a portion, priced at 20 yuan each, her total spent was 2000 yuan. In the Peach Treasure Shop, a 2000 yuan order wasn’t unusual. But to buy just peach blossoms alone, she was the first!

Zhang Yanping promptly sent a message to inquire:

[Hello dear, I see that you’ve ordered 100 portions of fresh peach blossoms. Could there be a mistake in the quantity?]

The reply came back almost immediately: [No mistake, I want this many.]

[By the way, is there a discount for purchasing so many?]

You’ve already paid, and now you’re asking for a discount…

Zhang Yanping remained unfazed, “Sorry dear, our products do not participate in any discount activities.”

The customer on the other end was quite generous, “It’s fine if there’s no promotion, when can you ship it?”

Zhang Yanping: …

He really couldn’t guarantee that.

He quickly called out, “Tantan, are there still many peach blossoms blooming on the mountain? Hurry up!”

Song Tan thought for a moment, “There aren’t many left, really. Just a few trees on the edge are still blooming; everywhere else has already started to bear fruit.”

Zhang Yanping panicked!

Where could he possibly find an extra 100 orders worth of peach blossoms at this moment?

The peach blossom petals they shipped did not include the stamen, just the pure petals. Although it looked like 10 grams, it was actually a large handful when scooped up!

And it had to be sent with ice, for fear that it would wilt and not be fresh upon arrival–although most people did prefer them in a semi-dried state, either for eating or for other uses.

A few trees, would that be enough?

Zhang Yanping hurriedly took the peach blossom petals off the shelves.

Only then did he explain to Chen Huahua, “Sorry dear, the peach blossoms on the mountain are almost all withered now, and not many are in bloom. We might not be able to supply your 100 orders…”

The customer on the other end obviously felt let down, but that didn’t stop her from replying quickly:

“It’s alright, just send me as many as you have.”

Fine then.

Encountering such an easygoing customer, what more could he say?

Zhang Yanping called out again, “Tantan, hurry up and go pick peach blossoms on the mountain!”

The aunts hired for picking peach blossoms had gone home long ago, so for such a small task, it was better to rely on their own family.

Song Tan didn’t refuse to work. Picking peach blossoms by herself was actually a piece of cake.

At the moment, she was just curiously leaning over the computer:

“How come there are suddenly so many customers from all corners of the country buying peach blossoms? Also, who is the “Huahua” that the customer asked about? The Chen Huahua who ordered 100 portions?”

“Not sure.” Zhang Yanping pondered for a moment, then took out his phone: “Let me go search on Tremor or Little Broken Station, see if a blogger has started promoting it.”

He first searched for the term “peach blossom,” but what appeared were a bunch of film and television related hits.

After thinking it over, he added “Huahua” after it.

Instantly, a video with over a million views appeared before him.

Zhang Yanping clicked to watch, and saw that the video’s uploader was indeed named Huahua!

The title was also very odd–

“Natural Peach Blossom Cakes, So Delicious You’ll Run to the Bathroom for 100 Years.”

Ew~~~

The siblings both leaned back in unison.

Peach blossom cakes, they knew about those.

But the latter part about running to the bathroom, that was both enticing and off-putting, how did it attract a million views?

Are fans these days all so into bizarre things?

Little did they know, Chen Huahua, looking at the store’s message in her backend, was also extremely anxious at that moment!

–Drat!

How could she have taken so long to find such a hidden gem of a shop!

She touched her own delicate and smooth cheek, then glanced at the skyrocketing number of followers in her backend, feeling even more hurried now.
