Chapter 398 - Chapter 398 398. Ill also have a jin of _1

Chapter 398: 398. I’ll also have a jin of _1 Chapter 398: 398. I’ll also have a jin of _1 This is true.

The silver fungus has been selling tirelessly; the online store has repeat customers every day, but there is only so much grown in the mountains, and after picking, it still needs to be cleaned and dried…

Now, I have stored a cloth bag of broken pieces for my own use, but there isn’t much stock left of the large pieces for sale!

If you really want to talk about it, there are maybe a few dozen people here, and a half-pound per person is all there is.

After all, silver fungus doesn’t weigh much; half a pound is not too little.

But for Wu Qianqian, her “Broken Hopes of Song Tan” were completely shattered, and now she was even more furious:

“I don’t believe it! Are you just unwilling to sell to me?!”

She sneered sarcastically, “How much do you want for it, just say it. We’re all old classmates; I can afford it even if it’s a high price.”

Song Tan was inwardly delighted–Qianqian was still Qianqian!

“4000 yuan per half a kilo, and each person can buy a maximum of half a pound. Do you want some?”

Wu Qianqian’s vision nearly went dark.

Hiss!

The old classmates also sucked in a cold breath!

So, is that a reasonable price? No, I’m not buying, absolutely not!

But then thinking about the taste of the watermelons, and glancing at the empty bowls in hand…

It took a long while before the class leader shakily raised his hand, “That… may I buy two liang?”

“Sure, why not.”

Song Tan promptly sent the link to the online store and the mini-program to the group: “Both TaoTao Treasure and local group buying are supported. The price is as you guys have seen, and for old classmates, I’ll throw in a little extra.”

Everyone’s mouth was saying they wouldn’t buy, but their hands had already opened the link, looking at the topmost silver fungus–

80 yuan for 10 grams.

Fifty grams make one liang, two liang… 800 yuan?

For some reason, after doing the math in their heads, everyone felt like it was acceptable.

Is it a bit of a luxury?

Looking at the price again–

You can afford 80 yuan for 10g, and after all, the silver fungus soup really tastes very good… but would buying only for 80 yuan seem a little miserly? After all, there’s not much stock left, and from the sounds of it, it’s selling like hotcakes; not buying would be missing out!

And although Song Tan didn’t mention a discount, she did say she’d give a little extra… what if for two liang she gives 125 grams?

Isn’t that a gain of a hundred or so yuan for nothing?

With that thought…

The old classmates exchanged glances and then quietly placed their orders.

Meanwhile, on the third floor, having taken refuge with Xin Jun, Zhang Yanping looked at the constantly popping up orders on the backend and couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

Only Wu Qianqian was still staring at her phone, her eyes nearly shooting out flames.

She had no money left.

And her attempt at humiliation had failed–especially with everyone else placing orders, her lack of buying made her seem especially stingy, which the proud and vain Wu Qianqian could not accept.

She clenched her teeth, yet managed to put on a smile, “2000… is still okay. Some imported quality goods go for this price. And the texture of silver fungus is so much better than bird’s nest… Alright then, I’ll take half–”

Before she could finish, a loud voice from the crowd suddenly rang out, “Hey, is that Xiaosong? I’ll take a kilo, can you throw in two extra watermelons for me?”

Wow!

Everyone couldn’t resist looking over: so generous!

The auntie had lively short hair dyed grape-purple red, and now stood among the crowd commanding attention, a living embodiment of the health forums:

“I’ve tried many silver ear mushrooms, but yours, the quality is truly top-notch. Silver ear nourishes the body; I’ll keep some for myself, give some to my daughter, and some to my mom, who has been struggling with her bowel movements at her age. This stuff works wonders for intestinals!”

“One pot a day, and you’re guaranteed a long life!”

Good gracious! Once that was said, the crowd started to buzz–after all, aren’t modern young people the cyber-wellness types who soak goji berries in their beer glasses? Who wouldn’t be tempted by those words?

The aunt’s daughter, embarrassed, squeezed through the crowd and whispered, “Mom, isn’t this a bit expensive…”

But her mother snorted coldly, “Xue Ling, look how haggard you are, slaving away like a maid at home every day, not knowing how to take care of yourself–did your dad and I raise you all these years just for you to suffer?”

“Mom doesn’t need your money, I have my pension. Just take this, and once you get back, don’t let your mother-in-law taste even a bite!”

At these words, Yao Xue Ling’s face flushed crimson–she was at her weakest after harvesting rice because of childbirth, and with non-stop work, household chores, and child care, her back was already in bad shape.

She only managed to come out today because her mom called her husband, making him lose face and proactively communicate with his own mother…

Now, comparing herself to Song Tan’s youthful appearance, she felt like she had aged ten years.

Her mom, saying this out loud in public, must have reached her last straw.

The words, however, resonated with the female classmates, “Right! Men spend thousands a month on smoking, drinking, and gambling; what’s wrong with me treating myself better? Song Tan, I’ll take half a pound. Do you have any gifts?”

“I want half a pound too–”

“I…”

Song Tan displayed the ultimate acting skill of looking touched yet apprehensive:

“Let’s all calm down, don’t make impulsive purchases, after all, this stuff can’t be returned…”

“And don’t buy too much, you only eat 10 grams a day, half a pound can last you a month or two… I really don’t have much stock left! If you don’t believe me, wait, and I’ll bring out the stock for you all to see.”

She seemed so sincere and excited:

“But I also thank my old classmates for their support… You all know about my family’s produce, for better or worse, the cost is there, and I can’t lower the price… How about this, with half a pound you get a watermelon, and with a full pound, you get two! Pick them yourself from the field when you leave.”

Good gracious!

Good gracious!

Who could resist that!

In no time, mobile payments and scanning codes were keeping everyone busy, to the extent that Wa Qianqian, who had only planned to spend 2000, found herself squeezed into a corner.

She barely had any presence left.

Qianqian felt aggrieved!!!

…

Wa Qianqian was aggrieved, and so was Song Tan, her sigh conveyed genuine distress–the pain of giving away gifts!

But the sound of the money coming in seemed to make that pain disappear… thus, she stood there receiving payments, looking both conflicted and pained, making her old classmates sigh in admiration–

Song Tan, her skin is too thin, she’s really not cut out for business!

The atmosphere got everyone carried away, as if they were making impulsive buys in a live stream, to the point where Song Tan had to get Wu Lan to bring a bag of silver ear mushrooms from the storeroom so she could weigh and pack them in front of everyone–

“Folks, stop buying, there’s really none left–I still have daily sales on my online store and app, I can’t leave nothing, can I?”

“This silver ear is quite expensive; I can’t keep selling like this. I won’t be able to ensure timely delivery–”

Her words were heartfelt, as the online store did manage to sell a hundred or so packs each day.

And while the classmates only bought a few ounces each, the older family members who showed up started with a full pound!

When she said that, Wa Qianqian’s eyes lit up–

Not being able to guarantee deliveries is good! If shipments fail, customers will complain, and if they complain, Song Tan will be unhappy, and if Song Tan is unhappy, Qianqian will be happy!

At that moment, she too jumped out, “Song Tan, I’ll take a pound as well!”
