Chapter 318 - Chapter 318 318. Tian Yuan Blogger_1
Chapter 318: 318. Tian Yuan Blogger_1 Chapter 318: 318. Tian Yuan Blogger_1 Sun Shouping could only squeeze out a smile with difficulty, then looked at the two… ah no, three dogs that were following closely by Song Youde’s side:
“Are they this well-behaved every day?”
Song Youde laughed heartily, “Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn’t say that your dogs are well raised, obedient, and capable. They guard the vegetable garden so tightly, it saves much trouble!”
While saying this, he suddenly asked, “Want a cucumber?”
Sun Shouping: …
His mind hadn’t yet caught up, but Song Youde was already sizing up a row of cucumber vines and casually pulled a cucumber to hand over:
“Come on, it’s hot, our local cucumbers grow especially well, try it.”
Zhang Yanping, seeing this, didn’t hesitate to pick one that caught her eye and twisted it off directly.
At that moment, Song Youde already pulled off three more cucumbers.
But he didn’t eat them himself. Instead, he gave one to Sanbao and one to Sibao on either side, and then wiped the last one clean and “snap” broke it in two.
Qibao, sitting on the ground, wagged its tail so vigorously that it nearly swept the soil away, but as it watched the cucumber being broken, its eyes were full of confusion.
However, what was more agonizing for the dog was that after breaking the cucumber in two, Song Youde picked one half, broke it in two again, and only then gave one piece to it:
“Qibao didn’t work today but caused trouble, so you can only have this much.”
Qibao: “Wu wu wu…”
It pitifully shuffled its front paws on the ground, with wistful, watery eyes, but Song Youde could only turn his head away:
“No way, no way, Tantan said we shouldn’t spoil you. One costs twenty yuan, and you’ve already got five yuan’s worth, be content!”
Only then did Qibao, looking somewhat dejected, lie down in line with Sanbao and Sibao in a cool spot and started to munch seriously with the help of its two paws.
Sun Shouping: …
Looking at the dogs and then at himself, he felt something was off.
In any case, Zhang Yanping was already munching loudly, juice flying everywhere.
With the sun beaming down on him, Sun Shouping couldn’t help his mouth going dry, and he bit into the crisp cucumber with a crunch!
“Crunch!”
The refreshing taste burst in his mouth, the juicy and crispy bites of cucumber chewed by his teeth. Standing there, Sun Shouping was thunderstruck.
Then, he turned his head sharply to look at the three dogs nibbling on that cucumber, his heart twitching with pity: “Such good cucumbers… could surely sell for a high price, and you just give them to the dogs to eat?”
Song Youde looked puzzled, “No matter how good the cucumber is, it’s grown in our own field. What’s the point of keeping it if we don’t eat it, and we can’t become wealthy overnight by selling it all!”
At first, knowing how expensive the vegetables were, they did feel pained while eating them. But Tantan kept brainwashing them every day, saying what’s the point of her making money if her own family can’t even enjoy them?
Song Youde was already getting on in years! He quickly came around to the idea. Now, he didn’t feel at all reluctant to give the best of his home produce.
Eating and drinking well made for a strong body, and avoiding one trip to the hospital saved the children a lot of money, so why worry all the time!
Zhang Yanping, however, stole a glance at her old classmate:
“What’s the matter? Can’t bear to give up the cucumber?”
Although she felt a bit reluctant herself.
“You just accused me of feeding the dogs…”
He didn’t continue because Song Youde was there, and Sun Shouping had just eaten his cucumber, now making faces at him, gesturing secretly.
Just then, Song Youde suddenly turned back, reached up to the shelf, and pulled off another cucumber: “For Old Lee.”
This old chap was quite stubborn; despite insisting he pick anything he wanted himself, he wouldn’t do it and wouldn’t touch anything in the vegetable garden.
But the more he was like this, the more they insisted on actively bringing things to him.
“Where’s Old Lee?”
Zhang Yanping looked around.
“Gang Niu was grazing over there in the field, but now that the sun is out, he has led the ox to the pond,” he said.
As the three of them chatted, they continued walking and soon came upon two large plots of land planted with hot peppers, topped with green peppers, facing-the-sky peppers, and slender sharp peppers.
Upon seeing them, Sun Shouping’s eyes lit up at the sight of the green peppers interspersed with layers of little white flowers, occasionally spotting some that had ripened to a bright red. He couldn’t help but exclaim,
“These peppers are growing really well.”
Indeed, they are.
Song Youde replied with pride, “They’re just too spicy.”
They really are spicy.
Just a few days ago, Seventh Uncle stir-fried some eggs with pepper rings, and boy, that was a dish that made the rice go down easy!
It was so spicy that our mouths were watering non-stop, and we almost couldn’t stop eating.
Though we enjoyed it, we all overstuffed ourselves that day.
After all, downing three bowls of rice and drinking three large glasses of water still didn’t quell the fire from the peppers–it’s not something everyone can handle every time.
Fortunately, despite the tingling in our mouths, our stomachs didn’t seem to suffer any discomfort, and going to the toilet was not painful either.
So, every day, we were both scared and eager to eat it. Seventh Uncle himself got a bit of a craving too, and these past few days, he has been pondering using just a little pepper for flavoring to see how it goes!
Remembering this, Song Youde quickly instructed,
“Right, Yanping, since we’re here, let’s pick about twenty or so peppers to cook with.”
“Sure, do you want red ones or green ones?” Zhang Yanping started to walk into the field, while Sun Shouping looked at the lush and vibrant vegetable plots and couldn’t help but remark, “Life is so good… If you were a countryside vlogger, you’d definitely gain a lot of followers.”
Zhang Yanping halted in his tracks, “A countryside vlogger?”
Without picking any peppers, he turned directly to Song Youde and said, “Grandpa, let’s call Qiaoqiao over for a live stream, his channel hasn’t been updated for several days.”
A countryside vlogger? They have one!
They also have a sales host, a white noise sleep-aid broadcaster, mukbang hosts, and educational broadcasters!
Song Youde was also very excited,
“This kid, why isn’t he proactive? Every time he goes live, people reward him, he’s making money!”
Alright then.
The old man’s way of thinking was always so straightforward and unembellished.
But Sun Shouping was genuinely taken aback, “He gets rewards as soon as he goes live… How many followers does he have?”
Many streamers with a hundred thousand followers might not have that ability.
What’s more, their Qiaoqiao isn’t…
As he pondered, Zhang Yanping had already answered his question,
“He doesn’t have many followers, but they are very loyal and willing to spend money.”
With the customer endorsements from the Tian Yuan store, the number of followers on the live streaming account was about to break the 10,000 mark, which was quite an accomplishment for an ordinary person.
It was hot, and neither of them felt like walking anymore. Zhang Yanping simply pulled Sun Shouping to sit in a cool spot on the side,
“Grandpa, you go and call Qiaoqiao, we’ll wait here.”
“Okay,” Song Youde looked at Sun Shouping, “Young man, is there anything you can’t eat? I’ll go back and ask Seventh Uncle what he plans to cook.”
“No.” Sun Shouping didn’t dare to be as casual with the old man as he was with Zhang Yanping and said somewhat restrainedly, “I’m not picky, I can eat anything!”
“That’s good to hear!” Elderly folks like those who can eat well. The little old man walked away with his hands behind his back, “Alright, I will cook more for lunch, make sure there’s enough!”
