Chapter 519: 519. Travel? Official expenses_1 Chapter 519: 519. Travel? Official expenses_1 The conversation in the comments had veered off topic yet again.
The fans who had been drawn over by Xiaojiang, went from utter confusion at the start, to somewhat intrigued later on, and now they were thoroughly engrossed…
Even though there were still some things they didn’t understand, when it came to sending comments, they were all very eager.
Meanwhile, Qiaoqiao was carefully adding water to the basin, moistening it when too dry and adding soil when too wet, making the mud she mixed thoroughly smooth and even, ready to shape at any moment!
Then he felt the duck eggs — they were so sunbaked they were hot to the touch!
He moved the duck eggs back into the shade, while Song Tan had a look and said, “If we wrap them all in mud and put them together, won’t they stick to each other and be hard to separate when we eat them? Use this.”
She took out a set of small plastic bags, rectangular in shape, each just large enough to fit a mud-coated duck egg — those were originally prepared for packaging peaches, but since they went with bulk sales later on, they hadn’t been used at all.
She casually brought out two large ceramic jars from the house as well, “Once the duck eggs are ready, put them in here.”
His sister was watching! So Qiaoqiao became even more conscientious, picking up a duck egg and covering it with an even layer of yellow mud, rubbing it by hand, then sealing it in a plastic bag, knotting it, and placing each one into the jars…
This task required meticulous care and couldn’t be rushed.
Fortunately, he also found playing with mud quite fun, feeling the joy that Peppa and George felt, so he got through the task cheerfully and busily.
It wasn’t until after he had washed his hands that Qiaoqiao remembered:
“I forgot to explain to the children how to use the mud to wrap the duck eggs just now, can you all learn it?”
“That’s okay.”
Song Tan reassured from the side, “If you teach them well, we can invite them to join us for a reunion later and eat the salted duck eggs you prepared.”
A reunion?! Qiaoqiao was indeed excited, nodding his head seriously, “Did you hear that kids? Make sure to learn well, only those who do will be invited to the rice-harvesting reunion!”
[What reunion?]
[Alright, host set a date, and I will take leave to bring a couple of sacks over.]
[Peaches, honey, white fungus, tea, and chili sauce, I’m coming!]
[The excellent student is me — wait, what exactly are the criteria for an excellent student?]
[Let me think, probably someone who can pick pumpkin vines, prepare duck eggs, pluck white fungus, harvest honey, and cut sorghum.]
[Good grief, I don’t have a yard, where can I practice all these?]
[Host, remember to call me next year for sorghum cutting, I can also help with corn picking.]
[Dream on, I’ll definitely be there for the rice harvest!]
[I’m particularly good at eating.]
In a short while, the number of comments surged. And as everyone chatted away, they started feeling peckish again, unable to resist taking a look around the Peach Treasure Shop.
And then they discovered —
[Why is the chili sauce stock running low?]
[Never mind, I’m placing an order for 10 bottles right now.]
[Only 21 bottles left!]
[Damn, only two bottles remain, quickly snatching them up!]
Zhang Yanping, who was watching the comments at that time, hurriedly shouted, “Qiaoqiao, tell everyone that we don’t have much chili left, so we’re going to stop selling the sauce.”
“Okay!” Qiaoqiao agreed, “Kids, we don’t have much chili left, we need to save some for ourselves to eat, so we’re not selling it anymore.”
He counted on his fingers, “We need to pickle chilies, dry chilies, make pickled peppers, grind chili powder, fry chili oil, and we also need to save our own sauce… We didn’t keep any for ourselves before, selling it all, so now we can’t sell anymore. Next year Qiaoqiao will grow more.”
With these words, everyone in the live stream followed the shopping cart into the Peach Treasure Shop, and upon seeing the sold-out chili sauce, they instantly shed a sea of tears —
[Shouldn’t the host reflect a bit? Such a big store is selling only a few items.]
[Guys, did you notice that the dried cowpeas are also out of stock now?]
[Damn it, I don’t cook! But that doesn’t stop me from buying.]
[There’s a bit of sour pickled long beans left.]
[Inventory is running out– who on earth is buying?]
[Has the host thought it through, if your shop continues like this, what will be left to sell?]
[They even only stock 6 straw mats a day!]
Song Tan was also curious and leaned over to take a look, then asked Zhang Yanping, “Do we still have any tea left?”
“Well, there is some, but not much. And don’t we need to prune the tea trees?”
“Tremella has been keeping up recently, but at this pace, if other things run out, customers might make revenge purchases. If it really comes to that, we’ll have to take them off the shelves.”
Zhang Yanping checked the inventory list and also felt helpless.
Great, honey is reserved for regular customers, tea is reserved for regular customers, and now even the tremella is almost gone… What’s left in this shop?
Calculating it this way, the steady income every day is about to be cut off.
But there’s nothing that can be done about it.
Song Tan could only sigh, “Oh well, if the inventory runs out, we’ll take it off the shelves. In a few days, we need to prune the tea leaves. After that, it’s a good time to take a longer break.”
After all, it’s too hot these days, and it’s a good opportunity to properly plan out the mountain area.
“It’s about time for that.”
Zhang Yanping stretched languidly, “Since I’ve arrived here, I haven’t had a break. If everyone is free, I’d love to swagger out and have some fun for a few days–Xin Jun, would you want to join?”
Xin Jun pondered, “I’m thinking, whether I should go back home for a visit.”
Otherwise, his mom is going to blow up–after all, he said he came to scope out the competition, but in fact, he didn’t snatch anything. However, there is one thing he might bring back…
Xin Jun turned his head, his gaze landing on Zhang Yanping’s face, and looked at him strangely, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing.”
Xin Jun then withdrew his gaze.
His mother’s health wasn’t great due to overwork in her early years, quite frail in fact. Doctor Guo’s medicine should, in theory, help to nourish her.
But providing this medicine for his mom, should he get some for his dad as well? If they don’t notice its health benefits but instead think of other effects, and it’s given by their son…
How awkward that would be!
He fell into indecision for a moment.
But Song Tan had other ideas:
“Teacher Xin, if you’re not planning on going home, would you consider joining Brother Yanping and take Qiaoqiao on a vacation?”
She generously said, “I’ll reimburse the trip expenses! Accommodation, meals, entrance fees, travel costs–of course, if you guys buy any local specialties, that’s on you.”
What?
Qiaoqiao had just finished live streaming and overheard the conversation, excitedly rushing over:
“Sister, are you taking me on a trip?”
“I’m not going.” Song Tan shook her head, “There’s some work to do at home, I need to keep an eye on it.”
“But what if Brother Yanping and Teacher Xin take you, would you like that?”
“I would love to!”
Qiaoqiao puffed her chest out, proclaiming it loud and clear.
Then she reopened the live broadcast room: “Sister, I have money, I’ll pay for myself!”
“How much do you have?”
Song Tan leaned in to look, “The live stream donations should still not be much…”
But at a glance at the backend, she fell silent.
Zhang Yanping also leaned in for a look and his eyes instantly bugged out, “Holy shit, over 30,000!”
