Chapter 488: 488. Live broadcast peach incident_1 Chapter 488: 488. Live broadcast peach incident_1 Zhang Yanping, with the last four pills he had painstakingly scraped together from Guo Dong in his pocket, returned only to hear this news and couldn’t help feeling depressed–

“I don’t mind raising the prices in the livestream; after all, we still need to maintain a gap from the wholesale prices. But there’s no need to be so hasty. I was planning to wait until after this livestream session to get in touch with those wholesalers from before.”

The unit price of peaches was too high, and Peach Garden was small, unable to attract those with real strength. They could only make up quantity where quality lacked, but I didn’t expect to clear out Peach Garden in one go.

But if a few large and small buyers came by, we’d offer them some tea, and if they then wholesale a few thousand pounds, it would essentially be over.

He reassured, “Don’t worry, the Eagle Beak Peaches aren’t that fragile, they’re not like those ripe honey peaches. If you pick them and store them properly, they could last a couple of months in the refrigerator!”

Song Tan also sighed, “I know that, but with the prices as they are, I always think about selling the freshest ones.”

Otherwise, it would be a disservice to such a great taste.

What’s the rush otherwise?

“Okay,” Zhang Yanping let out a sigh too, “Let’s just continue with the livestream like this, and we’ll set the price at 80 as you’ve suggested. Let’s not count on having much sales in the livestream, it’s strictly to help generate some buzz.”

His plan was crystal clear, “Tell Boss Qian to heat things up online in advance for us.”

Having eaten lunch, we could arrange manpower and start picking peaches by 3 pm; by nightfall, Boss Qian’s truck would come to haul them away…

The three of them gathered together to discuss and suddenly felt much more stable.

Meanwhile, Seventh Uncle returned with a full basket of corn cobs.

Next, it was his time to shine!

It’s a pity though–

Boss Qian, preoccupied with his business, only managed to eat two peaches and didn’t even have time for a few sips of tea; he was busy signing contracts, transferring money, and contacting business partners…

And when a table full of homely dishes was ready at noon, with the delicious aroma filling the house, the two visiting inspectors clutched their bellies, on the verge of tears.

Who would have thought that these ignored individuals would let loose in the living room and gorge themselves on four big peaches in one go!

They were peaches that weighed half a pound each!

They even guzzled several cups of tea…

And now, just smelling the food, having eaten only a few bites, they were already full.

In just two words–regret!

If only they had known, why bother?

Wu Lan was so embarrassed that she even resorted to polite talk upon their departure, “Look at you, coming from so far away, and we haven’t treated you well…”

She wringed her hands, feeling awkward–of course, they barely had a couple of bites of food, but instead, they managed to gouge out quite a bit of money from her for tea leaves and peaches (because it was too hot to pick at noon that Secretary Xiaozu even contributed four boxes of peaches she had packed).

There were also two secretly kept pills, each priced at 199, of Mysterious Supplements.

In any case… this inspection took a heavy toll!

Only Qiaoqiao, with her sincere heart, pulled two corn cobs out of the stove with slightly charred husks:

“Uncle, since you didn’t eat lunch, take these corn cobs to eat on the road.”

She paused, then innocently added, “These are free of charge.”

Money? Where is there any money left?

Thinking about their shrinking wallets, the inspectors looked at the corn cobs, their eyes welling up.

Boss Qian, though, had his mind and eyes full of business. After tasting the corn, he quickly asked (he was afraid to inquire sooner and have the inspectors invite competitors over to cut into his business!)

After all, they had promised to introduce reliable wholesalers soon.

“Girl, the corn is just tender now, when are you planning to sell it? What’s your price per pound?”

He pondered: eating the peaches himself and then taking time to ship the products, he’d need at least half a month to free up some cash flow.

But this corn is too tender now, it tastes so good roasted; in half a month, it will mature just a little more, wouldn’t that have more bite, a more pronounced corn flavor and be just perfect?

He rubbed his hands together, thinking that as long as the price was reasonable, the corn market was currently tight too!

However, before even making plans in his mind, he saw Song Tan ruthlessly shaking her head:

“We’re not selling the corn, we only planted an acre, and we won’t have enough for ourselves by the end of it.”

“An acre?!”

Mr. Qian was about to jump out of his skin, as if it was his own land being wasted: “Such delicious corn, why only plant an acre?”

Why make things difficult for Mr. Qian?

But Song Tan just smiled and said, “Next year! Definitely more next year! By the way, do you buy chestnuts, Mr. Qian? My chestnuts should be ripe in September.”

“We picked peaches in the evening, come over for some tender chestnuts.”

Mr. Qian: …

His heart felt like it was sitting in a washbasin bobbing up and down on the open sea, wave after wave, tossing him about until he was all but adrift…

…

In the afternoon, Song Sancheng and Secretary Xiaozu had gone to great lengths to finally gather eight more people from the village.

Zhang Yanping was directing on the side: “Come on, Auntie Liu, you and Auntie Chen are meticulous, in charge of sorting the peaches by size.”

This was an additional request from Mr. Qian, but since the workload wasn’t heavy, Song Tan agreed to it.

“Auntie Wang, Auntie Li, and Uncle Liu… you’ll be in charge of picking the peaches…”

“Later, Wu Lei and Uncle Zhang will take care of transporting them down the mountain…”

Only…

“With all these pumpkin vines on the ground, we need to be careful picking the peaches above and minding the vines below; two eyes aren’t enough!”

Auntie Liu complained at the front.

“No problem, no problem!”

Zhang Yanping quickly reassured: “See how densely our peaches have grown. Apart from those too small and unripe ones, we just need to pick the rest tree by tree–that’ll fill a basket after three to five trees, so we won’t have to move around much.”

“Besides, the ground might be a bit difficult to walk on since we can’t step on the pumpkin vines, but isn’t the wage a bit higher for that reason?”

Indeed, 100 for half a day’s work!

And for a good reason–

“The baskets will be heavy once full, but you don’t have to carry them to the roadside; you can just leave them where they are.”

That saves a lot of effort! Well worth the work.

Everyone was chattering and laughing, and they quickly got to work.

During this time, the live stream finally opened up once again.

Qiaoqiao brought the phone close to the peaches, green and red intertwined:

“Kids, look, our Eagle Beak Peaches are ripe. Do you want to taste them?”

“Sister said some of you might want to know what peaches taste like, so Teacher Qiaoqiao specially brought two from home to eat for you later.”

The live stream that had just opened: …

[Haven’t seen the host for days, looks like she went to snatch bamboo shoots from pandas]

[I do want to know the taste of peaches, but there’s no need to share it in this way]

[Exactly, can you mail the taste over? If you can, kindly feed the peach into my mouth.]

[The one in front, what are you talking about with that Cthulhu horror movie, if mailing, send the whole head]

[Ahhh, I love crispy peaches the most!]

[Quick, post the link! Post the link!]
