Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 615 - Chapter 615 615. Money at the doorstep_1

Chapter 615: 615. Money at the doorstep_1 Chapter 615: 615. Money at the doorstep_1 Song Tan’s words were indeed sincere.

No matter how good the spice mix is, it’s only enough to cook 20 eggs at a time. Who would eat so many in a single day–Oh, her own family…

Cough, anyway, how many people live in one city household these days? Eating so many tea eggs at once, you’d definitely get sick of them.

So, for those who love them, buying one pack to try first makes sense. With ten to twenty thousand people watching the live stream, it’s normal that only a few hundred would pay.

But the problem is, during half a year of live-stream selling, the fans have successfully mastered self-control, and now the live stream’s hype of limited stock doesn’t even need the word “hype” to describe it–it’s craze at first hunger!

What do you mean there’s enough for everyone so no need to rush? Impossible, there is no such possibility!

That’s why Qiaoqiao relayed the message, and just as Song Tan clicked the “Publish with One Click” button, the backend started to chime continuously with notifications, causing her to pause. When she refreshed the page, the entire screen had gone gray.

Song Tan: …

Actually… is it possible that the spice packs are still in the process of being sorted by type and weighed, and not a single one has been packaged yet?

After all, there are dozens of pounds of Sichuan peppercorns alone. Each type of spice requires a different amount, and it’s too easy to get mixed up if only one person is in charge.

So everyone is working together, each person handling one type of spice, getting them ready by weight. Later, they will all be combined into bags–

At present, they have not even finished the first step.

Song Tan then glanced at Brother Xiaozhang, who was not only meticulously packing mats, but also doing it unhurriedly. After a moment of silence, she too sat down at the table and slowly began to help with the packaging.

Li Lanhua, having just resolved a major concern, was still smiling as she advised her, “Tantan, these spices have a strong smell; you shouldn’t touch them. There’s enough of us to finish the job. If you help out and we’re done before it’s even dark, we’d be embarrassed to take our pay.”

Spices are afraid of high heat, and today they had taken out just a few pounds of each kind, estimating they could finish packing them by the afternoon.

Song Tan was quick and smart. Her joining in did indeed boost efficiency.

The aunty next to her watched curiously, “Song Tan, I heard that you have to constantly monitor that website. If someone sends a message, you have to reply quickly, or they might go buy from someone else. You just take care of your computer; no need to help us.”

“emmmm…”

Song Tan hesitantly put down the spice she was holding and tried to say calmly, “I just put up 1000 packs, and they all sold out.”

As for replying to messages in the backend… besides asking when items would be back in stock, it was all about replenishing inventory, and she really couldn’t be bothered to reply, deciding to let Zhang Yanping log in to respond tonight.

Anyway, he knew the account and password and helping out a bit during the holidays was not an issue!

And at that moment–

“1000 packs?!”

Xiaozhang, who had just finished sticking a shipping label, suddenly looked up.

…

In the live stream room.

Only then did the chat, which had abruptly quieted down, slowly start to liven up again.

“I knew it! I knew it! Good thing I was sitting right on top of the router to grab it fast!”

“Ha, good thing I just got a new phone!”

“You can believe anything the host says, except about stock availability.”

“You guys!!! I came just a bit too late and only managed to snag the last three packs!”

“Regrettably not gifted enough, in possession of five packs here.”

“Tsk! Now I see why it was so hard to grab one. Why do each of you buy so many!”

“I’m different. We have a lot of people in my family, all fond of tea eggs. I don’t feel secure unless I have these 20 packs.”

“You… are so outrageous, buying something as expensive as a spice pack, and so many people still buying them.”

“Exactly! For 20 yuan, you can buy a whole bag of ten packs at other stores.”

“Really don’t get it, it’s more and more like you’re being paid to promote.”

“You’re right! Fifty cents per post.”

“You’re right, fifty cents a piece,”

“You’re right, fifty cents…”

New fans, who re-read the details a couple of times but ended up buying nothing: …

Yi, this live streaming room is so strange, let’s take another look.

…

Li Lanhua returned home at seven o’clock and, remembering the money she was about to use, couldn’t help but sigh deeply:

“It would be great if I could make money like the one right outside our door every day.”

“What’s up?” Zhou Maozhu had no work to do today and curiously asked while serving dishes:

“Your job today was pretty easy, right?”

It wasn’t easy, not to the extent that would call for such a sigh, anyway.

Of course not! Whether standing or sitting, I could chat while getting my work done.

For Li Lanhua, it indeed wasn’t considered laborious.

Only…

“I reckon these seasoning packets from Lao Song’s family could run into the thousands. However, we only managed over 600 this afternoon, and I guess we could hit a couple of thousand tomorrow.”

Even though Song Tan called today to order several hundred pounds of ingredients, who knows when they’ll actually arrive?

Working for two days, then taking a break for another two–without making money, it feels empty and uncomfortable inside!

“Don’t panic,” Zhou Maozhu comforted her, “Think on the bright side; we didn’t even have this work in the previous years.”

“Besides, Sancheng told me over drinks the last time that these seasoning packets could number into the tens of thousands; we’ll definitely have work for a while.”

Under normal circumstances, Li Lanhua would naturally be nothing but pleased.

But just this afternoon, when the topic of arranging a date for Tianyu came up, didn’t the pressure of money manifest all at once?

Frowning, she was just discussing this when she saw Zhou Tianyu pushing the door open, slapping his own face with a pop, leaving a squished mosquito red and lifeless in his palm…

He complained bitterly, “There are way too many mosquitoes!”

Only then did Li Lanhua remember: Oh, she hadn’t even mentioned it to her son yet!

So she quickly showed concern, “Go easy on yourself, don’t hurt your face. I’ll light some mosquito incense for you shortly… Oh, right, Tianyu, make yourself ready these next few days. Mom has asked Auntie Chen to set you up with a girl for you to meet.”

No sooner had she finished speaking, she recalled that young people of today don’t start a relationship like they did in her time–one meeting and they’d be married.

She quickly added, “Just meet her to get acquainted. How you want to date afterward is up to you; we won’t interfere. It’s all about fate.”

Zhou Tianyu: …???

He was utterly bewildered.

He finally got a break and had been gaming all afternoon. Enjoying himself while simultaneously anxious about going back to work, and now suddenly he’s supposed to go on a blind date?

“I’m not going,” he flatly refused, “Mom, forget about it. If I’m to find a girlfriend, I’ll find her in Beicheng. If I look in my hometown, who would be willing to come back with me?”

He wasn’t demanding for a girl with a local hukou–just whatever, a worker couple trying together to buy a house, that’s good too.

And furthermore…

“I’m not in a position to be dating anyone right now.”

“What do you mean ‘not in a position’?”

Li Lanhua’s thoughts were straightforward–since her son insisted on staying in Beicheng, and they as parents couldn’t persuade him to come back, what if he fell in love with a local girl who desired to stay? Would hardened steel not soften in her hands?

Perhaps then, her son might change his mind.

This method, though selfish, could be effective, right?

Li Lanhua couldn’t afford to consider that much.
