Chapter 288 - Chapter 288 Peach Blossoms Role_1
Chapter 288: Peach Blossom’s Role_1 Chapter 288: Peach Blossom’s Role_1 Brother Xiaozhang is truly kind-hearted.
Don’t be fooled by Song Tan’s money-grubbing appearance; in reality, Xiaozhang had seen right through her–she absolutely hates hassles!
What made him stand out among all the courier services?
Besides the efficiency of Wind Speed Express, it was his considerate nature, spot-on service, and a genuine willingness to work hard.
And then, she didn’t actually need any walk-in customers.
During usual business days, Song Tan’s dealings were perfunctory. In the city, there was that vegetable vendor surnamed Zhao taking care of customers, and everyone in the group chat had accepted the benefits of her family’s products.
But she had been back in the village for two or three months now; had she sold anything to her fellow villagers?
Not a bit!
What she feared was the hassle.
After all, doing business with acquaintances means if you ask for too much, they think you’re ungrateful.
If you ask for too little, they won’t believe you’re not making a profit.
So, Song Tan didn’t bother expanding to the surrounding areas at all.
Xiaozhang had visited her house a few times, and the aunties who worked picking tea would inquire now and then, but she never said a word about the prices.
That’s why he was intercepting this couple now.
Moreover, it looked like heavy rain was coming, and the mountain roads were really not easy to navigate.
“If you want to buy special products, just have a look around town. You really don’t have to go to my house… and there’s not much left anyway.”
Her words were true; the shop, though small, had impressive sales.
Apart from a sufficient stock of tea leaves, there wasn’t much left of the white fungus. Honey hadn’t even hit the shelves. She had only sent a few heads of cabbage in sporadic stock…
Tsk.
To run a business to this extent was truly enviable.
However sincere he was, the young couple didn’t agree–
What’s there to see?
This small town can be seen in one glance. The houses look like they’re straight out of the style from 20 years ago, with only the police station across the street looking a bit newer.
Besides, people tend to have a bit of a rebellious streak.
The more earnest Xiaozhang was about not selling to them, the more rebellious they became.
Now, the young couple whispered to each other, head to head, muttering back and forth.
The girl said, “What if they don’t sell to walk-in customers like us? What if they have regular clients?”
“I think so too. Otherwise, why would the courier guy be so attentive? He must usually do big business!”
“Oh! If we hurry over there, can we get a wholesale price?”
“I doubt it, they said their stuff is pretty expensive, right?”
“Are you dumb? You get what you pay for. If their quality is good, it’s natural for it to be expensive! But if we can snag a wholesale deal within that high price, aren’t we still coming out ahead?”
“We can also let uncle and auntie see if the specialty items we buy ourselves are any good when we get back!”
With their own little schemes in mind, the couple no longer cared about the difficulty of the mountain roads, weren’t afraid of the looming rain, nor did they feel tired; they gritted their teeth and insisted on following along.
This…
Xiaozhang could only smile at Song Tan, “Look at you, customers are coming to your door and you can’t even stop them.”
Song Tan wasn’t keen on dealing with walk-in customers either. Today’s weather, along with visitors from out of town, brought together a variety of factors, didn’t it?
She too stubbornly pushed the money away, now smiling at the couple, “Alright then, I’ll lead the way, and you can follow behind. Be careful on the road.”
“It will take roughly twenty to thirty minutes to get to my house, which is in Yunqiao Village.”
“Okay, okay.”
After all, they’d already come this far on mountain roads, so a little more wouldn’t make a difference.
Thus, leading with a pickup truck, followed by a sedan in the middle, and Brother Xiaozhang’s truck at the rear.
The three vehicles steadily drove on the mountainous road but halfway through, a heavy rain began to pour down.
With the downpour, the air was refreshingly cleared; the previously damp and stuffy feeling disappeared, lifting everyone’s spirits involuntarily.
Song Tan drove back to her grandfather’s house and saw that everyone was sitting under the canopy weighing peach blossoms.
She hadn’t used her hands to pick the peach blossoms today, which saved her the sorting process, as each petal was plump, rosy, and fresh, without a hint of wilting.
At that moment, handfuls of petals were scooped onto the small scale, and as soon as 10 grams were gathered, they were securely packed into boxes, leaving the new couple utterly astonished–
“You mean… the peach blossoms from your village can be sold for money?”
“Yes! They are great stuff!”
On this rainy day, Grandma no longer climbed the mountain; she was about the same age as Aunt Lianhua’s mother-in-law, and now they sat with plenty to talk about.
Both women worked with their hands while chatting; they didn’t miss a beat:
“Grab a few petals, add a scoop of honey, and it tastes wonderful.”
“Girl, where are you from? You’ve never tried the peach blossoms from our home, have you? If you could just taste it…”
“I’m not tasting it, no tasting!”
Song Tan quickly interrupted, “Grandma, the peach blossoms are barely enough to sell, let’s focus on our customers first.”
Grandma glanced at the packaged products in front of her, counting more than 200 portions: “Is that still not enough?”
Song Tan pointed at Zhang Yanping, helplessly, “A customer just sent a message asking for 100 more portions, we’ll send whatever we can accumulate.”
The one who sent the message was Chen Huahua.
If her initial 100 orders were due to the unique taste of the peach blossoms, then the additional order, after half a day, was because of their effects.
As everyone knows, peach blossoms have functions–relieving constipation, detoxifying, and beautifying the skin.
Whether they detoxify or not, Chen Huahua didn’t know.
All she knew was that after devouring a small bowl of sugared peach blossoms, she soon had a satisfying and thorough “crop rotation” in the toilet.
Actually, she wasn’t normally constipated, but for some reason, she especially had a lot to pass this time.
By the end, her pajamas even smelled awful.
She thought she might have eaten too many peach blossoms and got diarrhea, only to find upon getting up to clean herself, she felt none of the usual weakness from diarrhea, instead feeling invigorated, as if she was light as a feather and utterly comfortable!
Looking in the mirror–did the pimple on her forehead deflate?
Whether it was truly the effect of the peach blossoms or just her imagination was hard to say.
But as Chen Huahua looked in the mirror, she felt her face seemed brighter.
She couldn’t help but recall the taste of those peach blossoms; the room was still filled with a faint fragrance, and without hesitation, she attributed it all to the petals!
In any case, she had to buy more, then make peach blossom jam!
One cup every day, so satisfying!
Thus, she kept sending a barrage of messages to the backend, nearly at the point of outright saying “add money.”
The effect of the peach blossoms was something Song Tan’s family didn’t know about!
After all, they had tea and honey at home; who would fancy drinking tasteless petals?
Zhang Yanping observed the customer’s eagerness and peeked at the abundance of peach blossoms picked by Song Tan–perhaps they could spare some!
“Okay.”
He was keen on encouraging customers to spend more, so he readily agreed, “We’ll send the goods first, whatever quantity we have, we’ll send to you, is it okay to refund or add money for the difference?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
It was a delightful surprise!
Zhang Yanping even took a separate video of the peach petals for Huahua–a bucket full of pink and white petals, how romantic!
Huahua could only lament that today’s courier service still required a two-day wait!
