Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 462 - Chapter 462 462. Hardworking Anchor_1

Chapter 462: 462. Hardworking Anchor_1 Chapter 462: 462. Hardworking Anchor_1 The majority of the sorghum had already been processed by lunchtime, and after the meal, everyone had nothing to do, so they helped to finish up, quickly getting everything sorted.

Qiaoqiao, looking at the 372 pounds of sorghum, turned to Seventh Uncle and asked, “Does this need to be dried like rice?”

“No need.”

Seventh Uncle, hands clasped behind his back, walked around it a couple of times:

“For home brewing, this actually retains higher nutritional content and tastes better–just clean them first, and let them air-dry on the side. Remember, wash them at least twice.”

This task didn’t require much skill; everyone took a basin and quickly got it done.

Once the sorghum was spread out in a breezy place under the eaves to dry, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and could rest.

After all, it would be a waste not to take a nap during the blistering summer days.

However, Song Tan didn’t have the habit of taking an afternoon nap.

In the middle of the day, the factory gave her a call: “Boss Song, the customized fruit boxes with your store’s name on them are ready. I’ve just sent you a photo… If you can receive them, I’ll arrange to send them out this afternoon?”

“Sure!”

Song Tan replied, “Go ahead, someone’s always here. I’ll pick them up when they arrive.”

The total of 7000 fruit box sets, the kind with sponge dividers, cost 30,000 yuan, was quite an investment for the orchard.

But thinking back to the Eagle Beak Peaches they picked the other day, still green but already bursting with sweet fragrance, Song Tan couldn’t wait.

It was estimated that in a week or two, when the Eagle Beak Peaches turned from dark green to light green, and the spots touched by sunlight began to blush red, they would indeed be perfectly ripe.

What price should they set then?

Ah, Brother Yanping’s friend circle’s premium lakeside peaches were selling for 45… Of course, he had the premium of many years brand value, but hers had the advantage of being delicious!

Pricing the premium fruits at 40 yuan per pound wouldn’t be wrong, right?

As for the ones with a lower grade–well, that’s a separate matter.

As her mental calculations kept running, Song Tan also had her plans full to the brim–

These days, feed the chickens and ducks some good food, as they’re about to lay eggs, give them some extra nourishment.

The same went for the sorghum wine; thankfully, there wasn’t much, and it could be done in a few days.

The monitoring system was also settled; installation could happen any time now. However, Song Tan guessed that she wouldn’t have time to watch over them anymore. This task would be better handed off to the capable Zhang Yanping.

After all, she had a feeling that her own family would be eating plenty of peaches every day from now on and couldn’t do so without reason.

By three o’clock in the afternoon, when everyone finished their naps and gathered in the living room, they found that Xiaozhang from Wind Speed Express had once again arrived in his van.

“Are there many packages today?”

“Not too many.”

Zhang Yanping, familiar with the routine, sorted out the online shopping orders one by one:

“There haven’t been any new products lately, just some black fungus. Sales are about the same as before.”

Although black fungus was popular, and Seventh Uncle’s cold dishes always got polished off by everyone… what wasn’t eaten this way at home?

Many customers could manage to make silver ear mushroom soup, but when it came to cooking black fungus, they didn’t even attempt it.

Thus, the online store kept its modest sales, earning money, yet still on the same level as before.

“Oh, and,” Zhang Yanping pointed to the straw mat in the corner, “help me pack this later– I’m sending it to Imperial City.”

“Oh my!”

Xiaozhang caressed the emerald green cooling mat, his eyes filled with admiration: “Do you sell these at home? I’d like to buy one, my wife’s been feeling hot recently.”

“Sell.”

Zhang Yanping smiled especially gently, revealing a row of big white teeth, “Just in time, if you want it, today is the first batch of rush mats we can weave. What size do you need? A one-meter-fifty is at a promotional price of 999, with shipping included.”

Brother Xiaozhang, “999?” For a rush mat?!

He wanted to say he was bothering him, but remembering his recently hot-tempered wife, he could only painfully clench his teeth again, “Then wait a moment, I need to make a call and ask my wife for permission first.”

Zhang Yanping thought to himself: Indeed, there’s not a single benefit to getting married!

Just look at Brother Xiaozhang. He drives his delivery van with such swagger, no one dares not to take his calls. After getting married, doesn’t he still have to hand over his pocket money? Can’t scrape together fifty cents.

Brother Xiaozhang had no idea someone was using him as a cautionary tale. At the moment, he was happily packing up the roll of rush mat and the jars on the table while saying,

“The usual address, right? Okay–huh, there are three more orders in Imperial City to the same address but different building numbers!”

No need to say, must be the neighbors influencing each other.

Brother Xiaozhang skillfully sealed the boxes against the order numbers, then remembered something,

“Oh yeah, send two more bottles of sauce from home, and one bottle of honey.”

Song Tan was a bit puzzled, “Brother Xiaozhang, aren’t you living frugally? Why are you so willing to spend today?”

Not only rush mats but also honey… To be honest, Brother Xiaozhang had never even bought their honey before!

Brother Xiaozhang smiled foolishly, “You don’t understand, my wife’s belly is big now, and she’s craving the sauces from your place.”

“Oh dear, that’s so spicy, eating too much can cause heatiness.”

Wu Lan was helping to put away the sorghum and quickly cautioned her, “Pregnant women are prone to constipation as it is. Even though our sauce isn’t too fiery, she can’t have too much.”

Brother Xiaozhang also sighed, “Yeah, heatiness. That’s why I need to buy another jar of honey to cool down.”

Despite watching thousands of yuan about to be spent, Brother Xiaozhang was quite pleased with himself. Zhang Yanping simply couldn’t bear to watch.

At that moment, Guo Dong also happened to send a message:

[Song Tan, I heard the courier has arrived at the village. Could you ask him to stop by the clinic on his way? I have a few parcels to send out.]

People from Lao Song’s family refuse to cooperate with drug trials, but when he told his old customers that he’d found extremely good quality medicinal ingredients, they all supported him generously!

In just a few days, he’d used up all the dried Golden Sakura he had for prescriptions. Guo Dong walked around the courtyard twice, already eager to know the real effects of the medicine.

She had a feeling–this time, she was definitely going to make a big profit!

…

Meanwhile, Zhang Yanping had already smoothly set up another live stream preview for Qiaoqiao–

[Diligent Host Special: Click to see what you don’t usually get to see!]

My goodness, all the fans in the live stream rooms were amused when they got the notification. They had waited so eagerly for the live stream to start, and even though the camera was still dark, they sent out barrages of messages first–

[Titles with previews are always provocative; it definitely wasn’t Teacher Qiaoqiao who posted it.]

[Two sessions in one day, true diligence.]

[I don’t know why, but I’m actually feeling a bit emotional.]

[Compare this with other hosts who stream for at least two to four hours every day… then look at this host.]

[Will there be new products today? Will they be listed? When will watermelons be for sale? What’s the stuff we don’t usually get to see?]

[The way you put it, even the previous streams showed things we don’t usually see.]

[Thanks to Teacher Qiaoqiao, I learned how to cut sorghum in the morning, so in the afternoon, I guess we’ll eat sorghum.]
