Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 365 - Chapter 365 365. Trademark Registration_1

Chapter 365: 365. Trademark Registration_1 Chapter 365: 365. Trademark Registration_1 It was already late.

Sun Shouping’s resentment had completely dissipated under the allure of Song Tan’s braised eggplant with soy sauce, steamed pork with mashed beans, and mixed cold noodles.

But after all, it was someone else’s dog, and he didn’t dare to leave them on the mountain, so he still dragged them back with much effort.

Dabao and Erbao obediently turned back and squeezed into the house to cool off and rest.

Whereas the three dogs whimpered and barked frantically, almost digging trenches in the grassland with their paws, creating quite the scene of a “desperate original partner clinging to her husband,” which even got him caught up in the melodramatic rhythm.

On the way down the mountain, he couldn’t help but sigh,

“Look at our General William and the treasure, their names sound so dominant, but in reality, they are so love-struck; love at first sight, one glance for eternity! If they were dating, they surely wouldn’t look at any other dogs.”

Song Tan nodded in agreement, “That’s true. But the thing is, my Dabao and Erbao are so outstanding, it’s normal for them to not fancy other dogs.”

She was so confident!

The conversation made Sun Shouping even more reluctant. He silently clenched his teeth: “Don’t worry, once I go back, I’ll look around again. There’s certainly someone who can catch their fancy.”

“And the king. I’ve already contacted several Kangal owners recently. I will select the best and definitely find a beautiful wife for him!”

Song Tan glanced at him: “Kangal’s eat too much, if you aren’t 100% sure, then it’s better not to bring them here.”

Sun Shouping: …

He had come all this way, specially to match his dogs, and hadn’t been so picky, how could your family’s meals be so stingy? Can eating an extra tub of chaff really lead to poverty?!

…

As the two of them and the three dogs tugged along, upon arriving back at Song Youde’s courtyard, they saw Brother Xiaozhang had already started packing the pickled green peaches.

Song Tan couldn’t help but wonder, “Right, I didn’t get the chance to ask you earlier, but what do you want with 100 pounds of green peaches?”

“Hehehe,” Brother Xiaozhang scratched his head embarrassingly,

“My wife is pregnant, and she liked everything about your green peaches that day, so she recommended them to the mommy group.”

“As a result, everyone wanted to buy them–”

He got that far and quickly clarified, “I’m not a middleman making a profit. I sent them the link to your store. I can have my wife send you a screenshot when I get back!”

“But the mommies all said that it’s too expensive without free postage, and I couldn’t make the decision for you… So you see, my wife told them I work in the delivery industry, and after everyone discussed it, we agreed on a deal: add 6 yuan for each shipment if it’s not overweight, and we’ll send out the orders.”

He ended up giggling to himself as he spoke.

Song Tan: …

Six yuan per order, Brother Xiaozhang was going to make at least two to three yuan himself. But now he had to do all the packing, and there were also the costs of the packaging boxes…

It really seemed like arduous work for little pay, and it looked like he was genuinely doing it for the sake of his wife’s social life!

“Alright,” Song Tan also laughed, “That is helping us increase sales too. How about this, for every 100 pounds, we’ll give 5 pounds of green peaches to your sister-in-law for free, so you don’t have to pay out of your own pocket.”

“That’s great! Great!”

Brother Xiaozhang was overjoyed.

Anyway, he didn’t feel like he was helping to boost their sales. With the taste of Song Tan’s products, it was just a matter of time before the first batch sold out and left everyone wanting more, to the point of placing additional orders in droves.

Moreover, the green peaches on the mountain were almost gone, and there were only a few jars left in storage in the courtyard. He really couldn’t be so brazen as to claim he was helping to increase sales…

He couldn’t help but slap the tape on while letting out a silly, heh-heh chuckle, just thinking about the child he was about to have.

Qiaoqiao, smashing garlic cloves, glanced at him and then muttered softly, “Brother Xiaozhang is laughing in such a strange way, I definitely can’t have kids in the future.”

“Why?”

Although the family had no plans for Qiaoqiao to marry and have children considering his state, his remark piqued curiosity.

Qiaoqiao said softly, “I think having kids makes people stupid. Look at Brother Xiaozhang, even sticking tape isn’t as smooth as before, he keeps taking time to giggle…”

Everyone paused, then burst into laughter, and nodded in agreement, “That’s right! Qiaoqiao really sees things clearly!”

…

During the laughter, Zhang Yanping, as usual, had prepared and delivered lunch to the pond-side. By the time he returned, he was drenched in sweat, his face even darker and shinier. It took eating almost half of a chilled watermelon before he felt refreshed.

After washing his face again, he suggested,

“Tantan, it’s getting unbearably hot; let’s not open the pond for fishing for now, okay?”

Song Tan was somewhat puzzled, “Don’t you want to save up more money?”

It wasn’t her who would lose out with the fishing closure.

Zhang Yanping gave a wry smile, “Everyone wants to earn money, but in this scorching weather, they don’t fish much during the day, relying mostly on the night. But with the heat, insects and snakes abound, I’m worried about someone getting bitten by a venomous insect or snake at night–it’s our own pond, after all, and we have to take some responsibility. It’s not worth it.”

Besides, even if there were no pests, the back and forth could still be debilitating for people. It wasn’t appropriate.

Best to refuse them all outright.

Although the group of anglers hadn’t caught many fish over time, the fingerlings Tantan had released in early spring were now growing. They deserved a more stable environment.

Song Tan indeed hadn’t considered the issue of insects and snakes–since the use of “Spiritual Energy” to disperse and shake them off was something she often did at night, especially targeting the surrounding bugs. As a result, their products had hardly suffered from pests… This point had not occurred to her.

But she agreed with Brother Yanping’s point; it was more worry-free to refuse them all given the hot weather.

Her quality goods had already built a solid reputation anyway, and the fishing crowd consisted of just two or three groups of regulars who were stubbornly not leaving their spots. There was no influx of fresh blood for the time being.

Peeling back the layers of the issue, Song Tan lost interest in them, so she nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yanping then quickly began sending out the notices.

Seventh Uncle couldn’t help but nod, “That’s good, now there are more than a dozen fewer meals to make. Those fishing folks do eat a lot.”

Secretary Xiaozu, who was mid-bite into a piece of soy-braised eggplant, thought for a moment before he couldn’t resist advising,

“Song Tan, I’ve already started discussing this procedure in the village. You should think about it–if next year there are more people working at your place and you don’t provide meals for them, that’s fine. Or you can distribute the labor to the villagers.”

“If you do provide meals for the workers, you’ll also need to consider the chef carefully; you have to find someone reliable to take charge of the cooking.”

This year, no one knew the prices at which Song Tan was selling her products, but that might change next year.

If the kitchen chef couldn’t be trusted, the back-and-forth could easily lead to many troublesome issues.

Embezzling would be the least of those troubles. If they turned around and resold the goods, there could be problems, or if the food’s quality were compromised, it could affect the reputation…

That would indeed be more loss than gain.

You see, building up a brand is difficult, yet destroying it is quite simple.

Moreover, you’ll soon need to worry about trademark design, registration, and packaging. Once the peaches on the mountain ripen, you’ll need some distinctive branding to make a stronger impression on people!”
