Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 755 - Chapter 755 745. Tian Tians idea_1

Chapter 755: 745. Tian Tian’s idea_1 Chapter 755: 745. Tian Tian’s idea_1 It was precisely because of this thought that Tian Tian was even more sincere:

“I’ve sorted this sack out, 10 pounds per pack, for a total of 4 packs of tender board chestnuts.”

When board chestnuts were not yet mature, if you peeled off the spiky shell, they would quickly age and then lose their fresh, sweet, and tender taste.

So, if you want to enjoy fresh and delicious ones, you have to keep them with their spiky shells.

But that meant a 10-pound pack was quite substantial. Now that she had brought them over in a sack, Tian Tian felt a little embarrassed:

“I was thinking of mailing them myself, but the express delivery in town is too expensive… I was thinking since you guys ship parcels daily, maybe you have a discounted rate or something. I can pay for it…”

“We do, we do!” Wu Lan, who had been listening for a while, quickly interjected, “Our express shipping rates are cheap, and since you’re bringing so many board chestnuts, let’s not talk about money.”

At the same time, she made the customary polite remarks: “Look at you, coming over and bringing so much! Did you pick these yourself from the mountain?”

Tian Tian nodded, “It was quite cool in the morning, so I took a bamboo pole and knocked down some extra.”

She mentioned it nonchalantly, but Wu Lan knew that Tian Tian had said their family planted chestnut trees on Tea Mountain. This method saves space but is exceptionally taxing.

After knocking down the chestnut shells, you still have to bend over with tongs and rummage through the tea bushes… There are lots of mosquitoes, and the chestnuts under the tea trees are often invisible and get prickled; there’s also the stifling heat without a breeze…

When you consider all that, this large pile of chestnuts might not be as valuable as those from her own family.

But the thought behind it was indeed precious.

Meanwhile, Professor Song was already pleasantly surprised, “This is too kind of you…”

But he casually accepted them nonetheless: “I really do love eating them tender.”

While speaking, he took out a pair of scissors and picked a particularly large one.

The crisp green spiky outer shell was cut open with the scissors, revealing the milky white tender board chestnut inside. He then tore off the thick soft outer shell along with the membrane, and the cream-colored chestnut kernel emerged.

With a gentle bite, the tender kernel cracked in his mouth, releasing its sweet juice.

Professor Song was very satisfied.

And Wu Lan asked with concern, “How are your tea eggs selling?”

“Quite well,” Tian Tian smiled. “I can sell them all every day, and I can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month.”

The key was the low cost!

It used to be three or four hundred eggs a day, but since the last time the old lady reported the poppy issue, many young people came specifically to buy them, and each day at least 300 were sold!

Thinking of this, Tian Tian’s heart was filled with gratitude:

“Song Tan, thank you.”

Song Tan shook her head, “Don’t keep thinking about such things. Who wouldn’t I sell my spice bags to? After all, the price is the same for everyone.”

“If you can make money from this, that’s your skill.”

Tian Tian didn’t speak, but she knew in her heart that Song Tan’s online shop needed beating the rush to buy from, so why did she always have stock every time she bought?

They were simply using this method to help her.

And for that reason, Tian Tian was also secretly thinking of stopping the sales in another two months.

Favors from others are meant for urgent help, not for oneself to take advantage of for getting rich.

Just as she was contemplating this, she heard Song Tan ask:

“We don’t have much tea leaves left in stock, and the spice bags probably won’t last much longer either, possibly only until November. Have you thought about what you’ll do after that?”

Tian Tian had plans in her mind already; she would be happy selling until November.

She started this business in August, and by November, a full three months would have passed, potentially earning her about a hundred thousand!

This money would be enough to pay off debts at home, let her parents rest assured, and also cover Tian Ye’s tuition and living expenses…

She was momentarily surprised, but her expression was utterly serene, “November will be just fine. By then, I’ll have no worries and will be free to do anything.”

She grinned generously and said, “When there’s work to do at your place, make sure to call me!”

Who wouldn’t like such a girl?

Song Tan couldn’t have been happier.

As for Wu Lan, having received chestnuts from her, she took out two plastic jars of homemade watermelon jam and pushed them into her hands, “Here, this is our homemade watermelon jam. The sun was great this year, and after basking in it for a month or two it turned out great. Here, take two catties back and try it.”

The jam was meant for sale, so the jars weren’t big; each held only one catty.

And Tian Tian was even more embarrassed, “Auntie…”

Before she could finish, Wu Lan said, “Tian Tian, don’t just stay at home all the time. Since you’re not doing business today, why not go have fun on the mountain?”

She hinted, “Xiaosun got off his early shift for the holiday too.”

Tian Tian’s face flushed.

But she wasn’t bashful at all and simply took the watermelon jam with open hands, then said, “Thank you, auntie, I’ll go now.”

…

Wu Lan’s guess the day before was not wrong.

Her aunt Wu Fang said she’d come over in the evening, but her eldest sister-in-law arrived at ten in the morning!

First thing, she took pleasure in strolling through the vegetable garden and came back looking very satisfied.

Then she saw the few cuts of meat that Seventh Uncle had brought in his hands.

Oh the pain! Her heart really ached!

There was nothing her eldest sister-in-law could do, so she just turned a blind eye, then turned to dig out a few jars:

“Wu Lan, don’t use your bottles when you’re putting up the jam. Aren’t they all for sale? I’ll use my own; I brought them with me.”

“Fine!”

Wu Lan had guessed as much and now asked, “How many did you bring? I’ve got three kinds of jam here, and they’re all delicious.”

In this regard, Song Hongmei was reliable. She hugged the jars and arranged them, “Look! Just right, three of them!”

Song Tan came over, couldn’t help but chuckle, and said:

“Eldest sister-in-law, your jar is certainly big enough!”

…

By six o’clock in the afternoon, the sky radiated with the glow of the setting sun, and Aunt Wu Fang and her husband Zhang Hong also arrived in their family’s small truck and parked in the yard.

Aunt Wu Fang, who spent all year chatting with wholesalers from all over the country, had quite the loud voice:

“Oh my, there were so many people delivering gifts tonight, dragging their feet, we barely managed to leave around five o’clock. I was afraid we wouldn’t make it for dinner!”

As she spoke, she busily urged her husband to move the baskets of fruit that were packed in the truck, which caused Wu Lan to be taken aback and then she blocked the way:

“What are you doing? Didn’t you say you were bringing some fruit with poor appearance that you couldn’t sell?”

This… how could these not sell?

“…And you brought so much, are you not living day to day anymore?”

Indeed, it was a lot. The large plastic baskets for fruit were already piled in three rows.

Wu Fang also started laughing, “Why are you being so modest? Yanping has been eating and living at our place for months without lifting a finger, what’s a bit of extra fruit?”

Zhang Yanping, who had just come out of the kitchen, overheard this and felt rather dissatisfied, “Mom! I haven’t been freeloading at all! Why would you say that about me?”

He had been so diligent during this time!
