Chapter 289: 289. The budget is not enough_1 Chapter 289: 289. The budget is not enough_1 Hearing Song Tan say this, Grandma no longer cared about the new customers, and now glanced at the remaining peach blossom petals in the basket, pondering over them with Aunt Lianhua’s mother-in-law:

“Do you think what’s left is enough for 100 boxes?”

“I reckon it’s about right.”

The old lady, with a chuckle, stretched out her hand to grab another handful of petals and stuffed them into the box.

Despite her age, her hand was steady, and at that moment, looking at the little scale, it was indeed a firm 10 grams.

But she added another pinch of petals to account for any loss.

This operation left the young couple utterly gobsmacked–

Meaning to say, where can’t you pick regular peach blossom petals? And to actually buy them?

And this big basket, it’s all sold out?!

Unbelievable!

“How much for one box?”

The girl with a head of woolly curls couldn’t help but ask.

“Cheap, just for popularity, 20.”

With the road being tricky to walk on in the rain, Song Tan also helped Brother Xiaozhang with packing, not even looking up as he spoke:

“You can search ‘Tian Yuan Notations’ on TaoTaoBao, everything sold in the store is available here. If it’s not in the store, then we don’t have it.”

Meanwhile, Qiaoqiao, vigorously dusting the beehives with a dry towel, looked at the heavy rain outside and couldn’t help but worry:

“The bees haven’t been moved yet, how can the rain fall so fast…”

In short, everyone in the family had their own business to attend to, even Brother Xiaozhang, who had previously been encouraging them all the way, was immersed in the order numbers and couldn’t afford to be distracted.

—-Just, it seemed very perfunctory.

The couple had thought they would receive a warm welcome from the country family, but the other party seemed quite indifferent, yet spoke with such certainty–surely the packing scene before them wasn’t a ruse just for deceiving the two of them, right?

After thinking it over, they still ended up opening TaoTaoBao together.

Isn’t that absurd?

Coming in person to buy local specialties, and yet ending up opening TaoTaoBao in the yard of the sellers.

The evil times of information technology.

Fortunately, after Qiaoqiao finished wiping the beehives, she thoughtfully brought over stools for the two guests and then looked at them warmly, “What do you want to buy?”

Just now, Sister had said that one box is 80 yuan, and the cost of beekeeping has gone up!

Making more money is the goal.

—-Finally, someone came to serve them!

Although this boy seemed a little different, the couple still suddenly felt a sense of being favored.

They immediately pointed to the tea bags in the store, the number one in sales, with a monthly sales volume that even reached over 7000, “Is this tea bag really the same as this tea?”

“Why is it so expensive?”

Qiaoqiao, now literate in many more words, pointed at the reviews, “Because it’s really good!”

“Especially fragrant.”

But no matter how fragrant, isn’t 10,000 yuan per half kilogram for some obscure tea leaves a bit excessive?

And these tea bags, which are specifically noted on the detail page as being exactly like the tea leaves, how did one gram reach the price of 50 yuan? And so many people are buying?

“Because it needs to be packaged,”

Qiaoqiao pointed to the bustling people throughout the yard, “Everyone is so busy, packaging really takes up time.”

Alright then.

All explanations are the seller’s prerogative.

The girl hesitated, “Then if I buy one gram, would you sell it? Is there a discount?”

“No.”

Qiaoqiao stood with her hands behind her back, took a step back, and looked at the two people warily, “Our family’s goods have never had a discount. But if you come to our house to buy, you don’t have to pay for shipping.”

The girl looked down–good heavens, the items in this store were so expensive and didn’t even include free shipping!

She fell silent.

But the young man beside her pondered for a moment, “Your shop doesn’t have much left, does it? Tea leaves, tea bags, baby bok choy… That’s it?”

“We have more,” Qiaoqiao counted on her fingers: “Onions, ginger, garlic, Schizonepeta, but we don’t have much of those left either. We need to sell them in the city market, so we’re not selling them online.”

“We also have honey, but it’s not listed yet. We have to ask the other uncles and aunts first.”

“There’s also white fungus, 80 yuan can stew a large pot, did you miss it?”

The young man looked down, right next to the shipping link, and sure enough, he had made a mistake–

“80 yuan for 10 grams?”

“This white fungus…” was way too expensive.

The young man hesitated to speak.

Hearing him say this, Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered–Mom said when there are guests at home, we should serve tea and bring out snacks and fruits!

He quickly asked, “We have white fungus soup in the pot, would you like some?”

Then he hurried to the stove, took a large bowl, and served a bowl for each person.

This pot was made by Seventh Uncle with broken pieces of white fungus because everyone at home had a good appetite. Although Song Tan didn’t care much about quantity, Seventh Uncle still added plenty of water to it.

Now the two large bowls looked not so thick, and besides… with bowls as big as a face, bringing them over was just too extravagant!

The girl looked at the large bowl awkwardly and said delicately, “I can’t finish it.”

Qiaoqiao blinked; he had yet to see someone come to their home and say they couldn’t finish their food.

After a moment’s hesitation, he finally said, “Then you… want to try harder to eat it?”

At that, the girl couldn’t help but laugh and reached out to take the large bowl, “Okay, I’ll put in the effort! Thank you.”

She then glanced at her boyfriend, “Try harder, if you can’t finish later, it’s yours.”

Saying this, the two scooped up a spoonful and brought it to their mouths–they had been on the road for a while and indeed wanted to drink something soup-like…

Yum yum yum!!!

What is this flavor?!

A spoonful of white fungus soup hit their taste buds, and both were momentarily stunned, only to then help themselves to another spoonful…and another spoonful…

Until they had gulped down half a bowl in one breath, it finally dawned on them:

“Is this the white fungus your family sells?”

“Yes,” Qiaoqiao watched the two eating with sudden pleasure–it was just like watching piglets eat on the mountain.

The girl was already heartstruck, “Is everything from your family of this quality?”

Qiaoqiao smiled and nodded firmly, “Our family’s goods are super delicious!”

“Then the peach blossom petals…”

The girl thought it over and realized that probably only the baby bok choy and peach blossom petals were the cheapest items they sold.

Although there were only 10 grams of peach blossom petals, due to the weight not being pressed down, it looked like a lot, and it felt different psychologically.

Qiaoqiao blinked, “Peach blossom petals don’t have much taste, but they’re fragrant, leaving your mouth smelling sweet after you drink it! However…”

He glanced in the direction where Brother Xiaozhang was packing, then shook his head, “I can’t sell you the peach blossom petals, someone else bought them already, there are no extras left, and the flowers on the mountain have all withered away.”

The young couple: …

The two large sea bowls of white fungus soup were finished clean. Seventh Uncle was sitting in front of the stove browsing TikTok and saw the two hesitantly place their bowls in front of the stove, he hummed subtly–with his cooking skills, there was never any leftovers!

Brother Xiaozhang watched the couple wander around the yard, their looks full of indecision, and couldn’t help but shake his head:

Told you not to come, but you wouldn’t listen!

Now look, running out of budget, aren’t you?
