Chapter 305: 305. No one goes out empty-handed_1 Chapter 305: 305. No one goes out empty-handed_1 Song Shuliang was unpacking and inspecting this year’s new tea leaves, which his father had somehow gotten hold of. Just sniffing the dry tea aroma was refreshing and soothing to the heart and eyes.

Just then, he heard his daughter’s cheerful exclamation:

“Baba! This honey is so delicious!”

The two sisters had found two spoons, and each was scooping honey directly into their mouths, their expressions filled with the same surprise and ecstasy.

Song Shuliang: …Isn’t that too sweet?

But looking at his daughters’ faces, they did not seem to find it too sweet–in fact, they seemed unable to stop themselves.

His younger daughter curiously asked, “Baba, everyone says the fruits and honey from our place are especially good, but why is the stuff Grandpa sends even better? When will you take me to your hometown?”

A thought struck Song Shuliang’s heart.

However, before he could even make a plan, he saw the two girls had already scooped another spoonful into their mouths, making his brows twitch: “Can honey be eaten like this? Just scoop a spoonful, dilute it with water, and drink it; you shouldn’t eat so much of it directly.”

As he spoke, he walked over, but as soon as he got close, he too caught the unique fragrance of the honey–rich and sweet, making him involuntarily take a deep breath!

When he came back to his senses, he saw his elder daughter looking expectantly at him: “Baba, let me scoop just one last spoonful to mix with water…”

His younger daughter vigorously nodded in agreement.

Song Shuliang had intended to agree, but then he glanced at the glass jar–good grief!

These sisters had been spooning it out, and now a third of the honey was already gone! They had eaten too much!

He was shocked and hurriedly put the jar away: “No more, you’re not allowed to eat any more. Aren’t you getting sick of it? Would you like some tea instead?”

The two daughters did not care for tea.

But… since the honey was so delicious, surely the tea leaves… wouldn’t be bad either? Especially with such a fragrant aroma!

The two exchanged glances and nodded.

Song Shuliang liked his tea strong, so he grabbed a hefty amount for himself now, while the two girls, being young, were each given a little for the sake of it.

But when hot water was poured and the lingering fragrance of the tea filled the entire space, the trio all bowed their heads and then took a deep breath in unison.

The older daughter also said wistfully, “Baba, why does your hometown have so many good things? Why haven’t we tasted them before?”

Song Shuliang was also puzzled–where had his father gotten these from? They certainly weren’t cheap, truly the cream of the crop.

After thinking it over, he decided to make a video call home later to ask whether they needed more sheep. He might as well send a young lamb back as well.

Seventh Uncle certainly had no idea of the surprise his son had received. He just looked at the sturdy young man operating the excavator, now all smiles:

“How about it? Not a bad deal working here, right?”

The earnest young man had always worked hard; Seventh Uncle had a good impression of him.

“Not at all,”

the excavator operator quickly shook his head, eagerly looking at the covered pot.

Meanwhile, Song Youde had just washed a plate of cherries, warmly calling out to the supervisor–

Indeed, it’s wonderful to enjoy the finer things at an older age.

Just the other day, Secretary Xiaozu brought wine, and now here’s someone from the construction site offering him cigarettes!

All over some cherries–how embarrassing, haha!

The little old man was filled with joy throughout his being.

But while he said he was embarrassed, he knew the goods from his family weren’t cheap; it was just inconvenient to ask the supervisor for payment.

Now that the man was offering, he accepted with ease.

At that moment, the excavator operator asked, “Sister, does your family still have things for sale? What else do you have? I’d like to buy some.”

Good lad! He catches on quick!

With a wealthy person in charge here, he’s asking about his own products? Isn’t that the perfect opportunity for promotion?

Song Tan hurriedly sent him a link: “Here, this is our group-buying event, and this is our Peach Treasure Shop, take a look and choose whatever you need directly on it.”

“To see if the products are good, just check the reviews. When you make a purchase, I’ll give you some extras.”

“Alright then!”

The young man operating the excavator perked up immediately, but when he opened the link– well, 80 bucks for 10 grams of white fungus, 50 bucks per gram for tea, 1000 for a bottle of honey.

The rest were some vegetables, and as a bachelor who doesn’t cook, buying them would be pointless!

Plus, he wasn’t like the boss, over-the-top with spending. Which young guy actually manages to save up money!

After hesitating for a long while, he could only point to the tea: “Could I… can I just buy two ounces for now?”

Buying in such small quantities?

Song Tan couldn’t help but laugh.

However, this young man really worked with sincerity. He had been particularly hardworking during the excavation in the back mountain, so Song Tan took the liberty to say:

“Alright, I don’t sell in such small quantities to others, but you work hard, and I trust you. I’ll sell just to you individually at 20 per gram!”

The young man’s cheeks flushed red, overwhelmed by a surge of inexplicable affirmation in his heart, and he nodded vigorously:

“Sister, rest assured! Next time you look for me, I’ll definitely do a good job for you again!”

“Good!” Song Tan also responded, “If I decide to rent the mountain again next year, I’ll definitely need you.”

She still had so many things she wanted to plant!

The person in charge: …

He had never seen such a simple and naive kid. The money was just too easy to swindle, what’s with this delight over tea at twenty bucks a gram?

Yet before he could hide his complex expression, he saw Song Tan next to him cheerfully asking, “Uncle, you haven’t tried our white fungus soup yet, right? Later at dinner, I’ll serve you an extra couple of bowls to try. You can take some home for the elders and your wife, it’s absolutely top-notch stuff.”

The person in charge laughed heartily, covertly recalling the prices he had seen following the link earlier and thinking that with that money, he might as well buy imported goods!

But he was a mature adult now and did not voice his thoughts, instead he changed the subject:

“I see you’re packing things up again, is it for a sale?’

Song Tan naturally also realized this.

But not to worry, except for those who were genuinely strapped for cash, so far nobody had ever left her place empty-handed.

So she called out: “Qiaoqiao, make another cup of honey water for Uncle.”

Only then did she casually answer his question: “We have a few customers from Imperial City who wanted to buy more honey. Just cut several jin the other day, and now getting ready to ship them out.”

The person in charge was taken aback–people actually buy it?

He had thought the shop was just pumping up their sales figures, considering the price tag of 1000 yuan per jin was anything but cheap!

He couldn’t help but stare at the packages: “They’re all from Imperial City?”

Just as Qiaoqiao came out with the cup of water, she shook her head: “No, not just. Imperial City, Ning City, hospitals… Many places! We’re short on honey to send out!”

And that was indeed the truth.

In Ning City, Huo Xueying had sacrificed her own half-bottle of honey, causing the entire office to jump back and forth between buying and not, struggling immensely.

And in the hospital where Dr. Xiaozhang worked, all the old patients knew that the products sold by this family were good!

Now that there wasn’t much vegetable stock left to sell, the taste of the honey they had impulsively purchased when the vegetables were previously on sale was truly delightful!

Tea was out of reach, but honey, with some teeth-gritting, wasn’t that possible?!
