Chapter 287 - Chapter 287 287. Visitor from out of town_1

Chapter 287: 287. Visitor from out of town_1 Chapter 287: 287. Visitor from out of town_1 Song Tan laughed, “Uncle, I also use WeChat. And my sales are pretty good too. Do you have time? If you do, I’ll bring a few beehives over.”

The beekeeper’s expression visibly showed a hint of envy:

“You young people are really nimble-minded. I’ve heard some also sell on that TikTok thing, and some on forums and Tieba, and there’s also Weibo…”

He turned his head to look at the several beehives beside him, as well as a few jars of honey he had brought over specially, and he simply waved his hand:

“I’m waiting for someone! You can go get them yourself. They’re right behind my tin shed, probably five or six empty hives, take as many as you need.”

“50 yuan each, but that’s for the empty boxes, without the mesh cover, separators, and bee cloths. If you want the whole set, dig through the hive, it’s all laid in together. That would be 80 yuan each.”

The price was really fair, and Song Tan agreed without hesitation:

“Okay.”

That’s how business is done among fellow villagers.

Song Tan simply got into her car, “Then uncle, I’ll go get them myself and transfer the money to you later.”

“Alright, go on…”

A car was approaching from a distance, honking its horn.

The beekeeper instantly stood up, invigorated, “The person I’m waiting for is here, you go ahead!”

Song Tan also smiled and got into the car directly.

Following the path back, she indeed saw several dust and leaf-covered hives piled up behind the tin shed. She opened one to check, and sure enough, the bee cloths, mesh, and cover boards were all there.

Thinking it over for a moment, and seeing that only 5 were left, she directly moved them all onto the truck.

After all, judging by how vigorously the bees were reproducing, she would eventually need them.

She had just transferred 400 yuan when her phone vibrated before the other party had accepted the payment, and the beekeeper’s loud voice came through:

“Girl, have you left yet?”

“No,” Song Tan was puzzled, “Is there something else?”

The beekeeper heaved a sigh of relief and then exclaimed loudly, “My customer is heading to Qingxi Town. The main roads are navigable with GPS, but this side path down here is hard to find. Could you lead the way for us?”

“Sure.”

Qingxi Town was the small town where Yunqiao Village was located, and Song Tan was going to pass through it anyway, so she immediately agreed.

The distant sky was dark and gloomy, as if a heavy rain could pour down at any moment. She waited patiently for a little while, and soon, she saw the beekeeper riding his motorcycle over, followed by a car that was bumpily crawling along the mountain path.

On such roads, one really pities the undercarriage of the car.

The beekeeper smiled, “A client referred by a friend. Only then did I realize it’s our local guy, just hasn’t been back in one or two decades.”

At that moment, a head popped out of the driver’s seat, and a young man greeted Song Tan, “We’re planning to go to the police station in Qingxi Town to deal with household registration matters. Could you please show us the way, miss?”

Sure. What’s the problem with that.

Song Tan turned and got into her pickup, “Follow me.”

Halfway through, she suddenly remembered–although she was neither studying nor working, wasn’t today a weekend?!

Sure enough.

Standing in front of the police station, the couple also seemed a bit stunned–they had done all the preparatory work, even noted down a lengthy checklist, but how did they not think that today was a weekend?!

Song Tan sat in the car, watching them looking flustered and couldn’t help asking, “So… do you have any other places to go next?”

They were probably heading back to the city.

There was nothing they could do. How remote and impoverished was Qingxi Town?

The town had only one old hotel, and looking at that hotel, Song Tan thought it seemed like it hadn’t had guests in ten years.

Not to mention whether these two were willing to stay there or not.

The young woman got out of the car and stamped her feet, her face full of anguish.

The young couple sighed, ready to get back into their car, when they saw a young man coming out of the Wind Speed Express across from the police station:

“Song Tan!”

Brother Xiaozhang was at the door calling out loudly for her: “Song Tan!”

Song Tan hurried over: “What’s up?”

She heard Brother Xiaozhang say, “Didn’t you call me earlier to pack up? Is everything ready? I can make another trip to the city at 6 p.m. I’ll leave at 4 p.m., and if you can pack in time, I’ll come get it.”

Brother Xiaozhang was obviously considerate: “Otherwise, your peach blossoms might not keep well.”

Especially with the rain about to start, the flowers definitely needed to be picked first.

“Sure, I can pack quickly.”

Song Tan nodded, then looked at the message Zhang Yanping had just sent her:

“There are a few more orders for silver fungus this morning, so it’s good to send them together. Oh, and tea bags–bring more document bags.”

Brother Xiaozhang was beaming: “It’s perfect, my in-laws are coming over tonight, and I was planning to get a few pounds of baby bok choy from your field–are you still growing them?”

“Yes.”

Although there wasn’t much left, and the online store had delisted them, there was still enough for personal consumption.

A few pounds for Brother Xiaozhang was certainly no problem.

However, Song Tan still smiled: “Brother Xiaozhang, you’re really splurging now, even willing to buy my vegetables?”

Brother Xiaozhang’s face turned red, and he made a show of dignity: “What do you mean splurging? I’ve always been willing, alright? Didn’t I buy your bamboo shoots before?”

He did, but that was only once or twice, and each time he ate them as if they were very precious, his hands shaking.

Song Tan had heard Brother Xiaozhang’s wife mention this more than once!

Looking at the sky again, the rumbling of thunder continued, and the sky was getting darker, so she quickly said, “Let’s go, let’s hurry.”

Meanwhile, the couple in the distance exchanged glances:

“Is this store selling local specialties? Should we also buy some? Don’t our uncle and aunt miss the local products?”

The guy hesitated a bit: “We don’t need to buy local specialties; we’ll just ask relatives to send them over.”

“Are you crazy?”

The girl scolded him: “Which of our relatives here are that close? It would just impose on them, and we’ve already spent so much money, why bother! We’re back now.”

“Just right, you can also show me some of your village’s specialties.”

The man gritted his teeth: “All right!”

He had moved away with his parents when he was young, and it had been many years before he could finally settle down and buy a house in his hometown. How could he know what the village’s specialties were?

Even for honey, he had to rely on someone else’s recommendation.

After thinking it over, he stepped forward:

“Do you sell local specialties here? What do you have? My wife and I came back and want to buy some.”

Song Tan and Brother Xiaozhang exchanged glances, and Brother Xiaozhang smiled: “The stuff from Song Tan’s place is pretty expensive. If you’re looking to buy local specialties, there are two other shops in town with reasonable prices and decent quality; you can check them out.”

The couple was puzzled–were there really businesses that turned customers away?

The two of them exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued.

“Pretty expensive? Why? What are they? We want to have a look.”

Brother Xiaozhang: …

Why won’t they take advice!

Can just anyone go to Song Tan’s place? Don’t let it bleed you dry of the money you’ve saved for registeration!
