Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 479 - Chapter 479 479. Wholesale Fruit_1

Chapter 479: 479. Wholesale Fruit_1 Chapter 479: 479. Wholesale Fruit_1 Secretary Xiaozu’s disapproval was completely conquered by that peach.

Honestly, she never liked this type of crispy peach before. In Zu Jun’s past life, the most she ate were those fully ripe and soft peaches that seemed to contain a pool of water in each bite.

She didn’t even need to wash them, just peeling off a piece of skin and then sucking on it forcefully, the soft ripe flesh would slide into her mouth along with the rich juice…

She could hold a big peach in just two palms, and she could eat several in one day!

Of course, according to the old sayings at home, eating so many would harm the stomach. But they were really delicious!

Nowadays, such peaches are also popular in the market.

However, Song Tan knew exactly why she had chosen this particular type among the myriad of peaches available.

After all, the mountain roads here were really terrible. To ensure the taste of those juicy peaches, they had to be picked just at the right moment of ripeness. But no matter how carefully they were wrapped, the bumpy ride would cause damage before they could even be sent out by courier.

It was genuinely troublesome.

But now…

All she wanted to say was: Forget about those juicy peaches! A real girl should eat these crisp, sweet, and refreshing green peaches!

Not to mention the heart-pounding crunch as you bite, just the slow chewing of the crisp peach in your mouth, with the juice gradually seeping down your throat, made you feel extraordinary, as if you were savoring Flat Peaches… truly marvelous…

If you chill these peaches in the refrigerator during the midday heat before taking them out, and then eat them…

She thought delightedly: I have no idea how delicious that would be!

Without another word at that moment, she immediately checked her current inventory, her grandfather: “Give me 10 boxes to start with–no! 12 boxes! I have to send one box each to my mom and dad! Ship them out today.”

She looked at Song Tan eagerly.

Twelve boxes, five pounds per box, tens of pounds of peaches were nothing; she didn’t even need to call anyone. She could pick them anytime with a basket in her hand.

“Sure,” Song Tan readily found a few more baskets: “We’ll go up the mountain together later. You can pick whatever you like, the bigger the better.”

“Also, the peaches picked in the early morning, when the sun isn’t too hot, taste the best.”

Secretary Xiaozu was already looking forward to it.

At this moment, she looked at her watch: Ah! I wonder when the scheduled visitors will arrive. I’m anxious.

Just then, Song Tan’s phone rang.

Unexpectedly, the caller ID read: [Peach Sapling Seller].

She instantly thought of the three burly brothers who sold peach trees, vomiting messily after getting out of the car but then emptied their wallets before leaving.

She answered the call at that moment.

“Hello, is this Boss Song?”

The voice of the brother on the other end was just as loud: “This is the peach tree seller, do you remember me?”

“Of course, of course,” Song Tan promptly replied: “Boss Wu, what do you have…”

Before she could finish speaking, she heard the other side asking considerately: “Boss Song, your peach trees should have survived well, right? I reckon they’ll be ripe in another half a month or so.”

“Didn’t we promise you at the time? As long as you bought our peach trees, we’d introduce wholesalers to go up the mountain to buy the fruit when it’s nearly ripe–do you have someone at home now? I reckon they should head up the mountain to check on the peaches today.”

“Then they’ll give you an estimate, and you can discuss whether the price is right.”

Ah, this.

Song Tan remembered. When she bought the peach saplings, they did say something about this–these days, with so many people planting fruit trees across the country, and if they all came to harvest at the same time, it was indeed difficult to sell.

For any other farming family, this would certainly have been cause for immense joy.

But she didn’t need this at all!

Before she could think of a polite way to decline, she heard another stream of conversation from across:

“I’ll ask where they are… Oh, looks like they’re about to reach your place according to their Moments. He posted a picture saying the mountain roads by you are bumpy, ha ha ha… Luckily, I provided the full address! Ah, it’s okay, you don’t need to thank me much. Once he sees the quality of the peaches, you can negotiate however you like!”

“Right, Boss Song, if this business referral works out, what about the honey and the tea leaves from your place…”

He hummed and hawed, evidently now getting to the point.

His request wasn’t much, just a bit of tea leaves as a referral fee–not too much to ask for, right?

What could Song Tan say?

Big brother, from the moment the phone connected, you haven’t given her a chance to speak, just monologued and arranged everything right to her doorstep!

She could only politely smile and respond with as sincere a tone as she could manage:

“Okay, thank you! The tea leaves are certainly no issue! But let’s wait for the people to arrive, talk about the business first, and then we can get back to you, alright?”

“What’s there to reply or not reply!” The other party was quite magnanimous: “It’s just a matter of saying a few words. No need to be so polite. Whether it works out or not is all about fate.”

“Alright then, that’s settled. You guys talk first, they should arrive at your place soon.”

After hanging up the phone, Song Tan and Secretary Xiaozu looked at each other in disbelief.

Secretary Xiaozu took another couple of bites of the peach, chewing thoughtfully before saying, “These kinds of acquaintances should usually be reliable.”

“It’s fine if they come. More friends, more paths. If they can take half your orchard off your hands in one go, you’d save the trouble of asking around.”

Song Tan said leisurely, “Each mu of these peaches yields over a thousand jin, and I have twenty mu of orchard. At sixty yuan a jin, how much money do you think he will have to shell out to take it all?”

Secretary Xiaozu: …

After pausing for a moment, she finished off the peach in her hand with a couple of decisive bites, then subconsciously gnawed on the pit before saying, “That’s not an issue either.”

“The inspectors haven’t arrived yet, right? If we gather a few more wholesale buyers, with your storefront selling bits and pieces online as well, with this quality, I’m telling you it’s absolutely stable!”

“If we really can’t find anyone, I can think of a way to sell them off.”

But she was inevitably going to have to involve her friends, elders, and some family connections.

Although the peaches were worth their price, if she could avoid it, Secretary Xiaozu would prefer not involving so many people.

After all, she was just an ordinary village director now, and no matter how well Song Tan’s business did or how unique the product flavors were, she was still a small commoner. What if someone wanted to claim this cash cow?

So, it’s better to keep a low profile and develop silently!

However, no sooner had she thrown the peach pit into the trash, than the sound of a car getting closer could be heard on the road outside.

A while later, the car came to a stop.

Song Tan stepped outside and saw a thin, diminutive middle-aged man with his phone out: “Eh, according to the GPS, this is the place, huh? I was told it was just an ordinary countryside home… whoa, hope I haven’t got the wrong place!”

Song Tan: … Now that’s efficiency!

She quickly asked, “Are you here because the fruit tree seller Mr. Wu referred you?”

“That’s right,” the man’s eyes lit up. “That’s me! My surname is Qian, oh, I’ve finally found it!”

“No wonder Mr. Wu said the mountain road was tough to navigate. What do you mean ‘tough’? It’s extremely challenging! I was bounced around so much… Ugh, miss, got any water?”
