Chapter 715 - Chapter 715 707. Grew a mouth_1

Chapter 715: 707. Grew a mouth_1 Chapter 715: 707. Grew a mouth_1 Leader: … You all have had to change what you plant because the road is so bad, and you still say you’re not too afraid?

He might have to redefine what this young man was all about.

It wasn’t silence, he clearly had a mouth!

Amid the bumpy, shaky ride, they eventually made it to Yunqiao Village with great difficulty.

Wu Lei himself was almost shaken apart, and now, propping himself up, he pointed the way: “… the bamboo grove ahead… yeah, yeah, turn left… see it? That villa!”

Finally, the car turned onto the smooth concrete surface and came to a halt, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Qiaoqiao rode over from the side where the beans were drying, and curiously said to Wu Lei:

“Brother Leilei, you brought friends over to work!”

His innocent, pure gaze, however, was fixed on the leader and Secretary Wang, the two men with such distinct characters obviously piquing his curiosity.

Secretary Wang, having watched the live streams, smiled and said, “Teacher Qiaoqiao, we’d like to have a meal at your place and buy some things, if that’s not too inconvenient?”

Qiaoqiao let out an “Ah!” and his eyes shone brightly!

He then twisted the handlebars and roared back into the yard:

“Sister, my little friends have come for a reunion! But what if the rice isn’t ripe yet?”

Everyone was baffled: What do a reunion and rice have to do with each other?

After all, Secretary Wang was the only one among them who had seen the live stream, and even he, being usually busy, had only caught it three or five times, missing the essence completely!

Song Tan quickly followed and said, “Qiaoqiao, didn’t I tell you to dry the beans?”

Qiaoqiao let out an “Ah!”, instantly forgetting about the reunion and hurriedly rode his bike back to the plastic tarp at the entrance, spreading the flour-coated beans out on the tarp again–although it was a hassle to collect them at night, who was to blame when they no longer had a winnowing basket?

As for why he rode his bike for such a short distance…

Well, Daduo was so pretty, it would be upsetting to not ride it more.

And Song Tan, looking at the four people in front of her… they didn’t seem to belong together at all, did they?

Fortunately, Wu Lei’s ability to talk proved useful, and he took the initiative to introduce, “This is Li… ah no, this is my friend Zhang Chen. He wanted to buy some food. And this one we met on the road, he’s in charge of municipal procurement.”

After saying this, he looked at Song Tan with anticipation: “Tantan, does this count as me bringing business home?”

With those words, not only did Song Tan give him a sidelong glance, even Zhang Chen and the municipal procurement guy looked his way.

Song Tan: …

It’s hard to assess. You brought in business, but not completely?

Nevertheless, she nodded: “You did. But we don’t have much to sell right now.”

No matter the procurement, without enough volume for a transaction, there’s no commission to be calculated!

Wu Lei looked dumbstruck at once.

Yet Song Tan was also puzzled. Even though Wu Lei wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, he had been working diligently for months, and was easily contented when it came to money, never bringing up such matters before.

Suddenly mentioning this now…

She asked curiously, “Brother Wu Lei, are you short on money?”

“Yeah.” Wu Lei didn’t feel the least bit ashamed; instead, he nodded vigorously: “I owe Zhang Chen five hundred yuan.”

Wu Lei explained, “I went to Ning City to see Lili…”

He must have used all his smarts to protect Lili’s reputation, now struggling to justify himself: “… I just felt it wasn’t right, so we broke up. And I didn’t have money to come back, so he drove me all the way here.”

“I just thought, I should at least give him travel expenses; I can’t let him suffer a loss.”

–This kid is really embarrassing!

Zhang Chen beside him couldn’t bear to look directly.

Song Tan sighed and at that moment actually felt a hint of sympathy for Zhang Chen, “Brother Wu Lei, you’ve grown up without a single close buddy, it’s something you should think about…”

After saying that, she let go of the speechless Zhang Chen and turned to look at the two municipal procurement officials next to her.

Whether they had goods or not, another connection meant more benefits; it was always right to start by greeting them!

She smiled, “It’s not easy for everyone to come all this way, and although there isn’t much we can sell right now, we can still offer a simple meal.”

“It’s hot outside, let’s go inside and sit down.”

The group entered the living room, but as they passed through the courtyard, one of the municipal procurement officials curiously looked at the people who were busily spreading beans on a tarp:

“What are you doing?”

Song Tan replied offhandedly, “The soybeans are growing well this year, so we’re planning on sun-drying more for sauce. But you’ve come a bit early; the sauce isn’t made yet.”

“Are these going to be sold once they’re ready?” asked the leader, interested.

Song Tan: …

What does ‘going to be sold’ mean? Are you really in procurement?

But she didn’t voice this question, merely nodding, “Hmm, selling only agricultural products is too monotonous, and not very economically beneficial. Moreover, many young people who actually have the most purchasing power don’t have the time or conditions to cook for themselves.”

“Given that, selling these semi-finished products is somewhat more in line with the market.”

These words were often on Secretary Xiaozu’s lips, and the two procurement officials had a certain air about them that reminded her of Secretary Xiaozu.

Thus, when they asked, Song Tan’s response was instinctive.

If they really followed her explanation, then it would be purely selling the products at a higher price after further processing!

But the leader didn’t know this.

He simply thought that this beautiful young woman was quite insightful in her speech and actions!

It seemed that returning to the countryside to farm wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision or anything of the sort as the young guy on the road said. This young lady had plans and ideas long in the making!

Not bad, not bad! A college graduate returning to the countryside for entrepreneurship, the thinking is bound to be broader.

The air conditioning in the room was on the entire time, and the cool atmosphere slowly eased the burning heat from the sun everyone had been under.

And as Song Tan pushed a cardboard box over, she saw Wu Lan had already brought over some cups of heat-relief tea.

“Come, come, this is the Yuxing Grass Tea we’re selling now, see if you can get used to it,” she said.

Secretary Wang hadn’t bought any of this.

During this period, the leader had been drinking the tea sold by Song Tan’s family, but changing the flavor now wasn’t an issue.

He hurriedly took two cups, placing one in front of the leader.

Song Tan watched for a moment, said nothing, but turned to send a message to her mother from the hallway:

“These two don’t seem like they’re just doing procurement.”

“It doesn’t matter.” This time, it was her carefree mother who replied, “Even if he is from Zhongnanhai, it won’t affect my farming.”

That was indeed true.

After drinking a cup of tea, the dizziness and discomfort from car sickness and the heat slowly subsided, revitalizing the leader’s spirits.

“This tea is really quite good. Are the raw materials also grown by your own family?”

“Sort of.”

Song Tan nodded, “Yuxing Grass grows well by the pond, so we took advantage of that and harvested it. It prevents waste and provides an additional source of income.”

That planting Yuxing Grass should not be difficult, right?

The leader pondered thoughtfully.
