Chapter 934: 916. Kudzu Root Powder received [Group Photo]

Zhao Lei threw out the takeout box and picked up his parcel from the reception.

After quite a while, not long after seeing Daxiong, he managed to buy something from Host Qiaoqiao’s shop again. At first, it was just an accidental click on the live-stream. Then, he was captivated by the chubby behind of Daxiong at the center of the screen.

The black and yellow color scheme, the fluff covered with specks of pale yellow pollen, and the little wings that tried flapping only to eventually plummet down with the whole flower...

So cute, way too cute! Even a straight man like him couldn’t resist. Afterward, the live-stream host got more pets, more content, and Daxiong made fewer appearances. Now that he’s seen him again for just a short time, sure enough, he succeeded in grabbing the Kudzu powder from the host’s shop!

Ah no, wrong, this is from someone in the same village.

But it doesn’t matter; if Host Qiaoqiao says it’s good, then it must be worth it! He can’t wait!

This time it’s not the usual Fengfeng Express, but Lulutong Express. However, he’s been refreshing the shipment status nonstop since the order was placed, so he already knew what courier it would be and it wasn’t a surprise at all.

Just think about it, 200,000 fans vying for 900 packs of Kudzu powder, who wouldn’t praise such luck like his? As for which courier it is, it’s not important at all.

At this moment, just as he returned to the office ready to unbox it, the lady from the neighboring desk leaned over and asked, "Xiaozhao, what did you buy again?"

Zhao Lei didn’t really want to answer, mainly because this lady wasn’t very popular in the office, but since the box was already half-opened, he kept it brief: "Kudzu powder."

"Oh dear!" As expected, the lady started making a fuss: "You young people really like to spend money. I see you getting parcels every day, and the items are always so expensive. Let me tell you, this stuff is just more than ten yuan per pound at the market... How much did you pay for it?"

Zhao Lei thought to himself, you’re the lady who strolls in the supermarket until after 8 PM just to buy discounted items, even going as far as to pinch the discounted vegetables until they’re misshapen... He really couldn’t agree with that kind of lifestyle.

Isn’t the fruit vendor downstairs reluctant to sell to you anymore? Picking just a couple of apples and still squeezing them with your fingers...

So he thought about giving her a cheap price, but if he did, she’d take advantage of it, so he just smiled and said:

"88 yuan per pound, yes, it’s quite expensive, I can hardly bring myself to eat it."

yuan per pound?

The lady immediately raised her voice: "Have you lost your mind? What Kudzu powder could be so expensive? You better return it, and give me the money, I’ll help you buy it — You can get it for 19.9!"

I’d be a fool to return it!

Zhao Lei sighed: "Sister, I’m picky about food, I can’t get used to common items — I only love drinking this Kudzu powder that’s 88 yuan per pound."

"Is that so..." To his surprise, the lady did not persist but instead appeared to ponder. By the time Zhao Lei unpacked the Kudzu powder, unwrapped the oil paper, and opened the sealed bag, the lady leaned over again:

"Xiaozhao, I just thought about it a bit. You really are picky about what you eat. How about this, you return the Kudzu powder. Buying online, you don’t even know what it is or whether anything has been added... I’ll bring it from my hometown for you, we have it there too! And for a good price, just 80 yuan per pound."

After she finished, she assured fervently: "Sister won’t overcharge you!"

Zhao Lei: ...

Glancing at his colleagues, they were all holding back laughter, looking forward to the drama unfolding.

Zhao Lei joined in the fun: "Really? Well then, how about this, I’ll let everyone taste this Kudzu powder later, and Sister, when you bring yours next time, you can let everyone have a taste too."

"If it really tastes the same or similar, then I’ll definitely buy it."

Everyone burst into laughter, agreeing unanimously, clearly eager for a good show.

Kudzu powder, that’s something you savor for a while.

In the office, there were just five or six people plus it wasn’t Host Qiaoqiao’s own stuff, so he wasn’t that reluctant to share.

At this moment, he tore open a plastic takeout spoon, put a spoonful in each cup. Then, following the host’s instructions, dissolve it with cold water first, then add sugar—there’s none in the office, so they used the coffee creamer sugar packets from the break room.

Then, pour in hot water and stir.

Kudzu powder is originally tasteless, even if its quality is enhanced by Spiritual Energy, it remains so. But now, with sugar added and hot water melting and blending it...

The sweet and refreshing scent wafted up instantly. Everyone was still stirring their cups, but now someone couldn’t wait and scooped up a dollop of gel-like substance into their mouth.

"Mmm mmm mmm! Hot hot hot!" Breathing hard, they were reluctant to spit it out, but instead, eagerly asked after swallowing, "Where did you buy this? Where? Worth every bit of 88 yuan per pound! I’m also buying!"

Even though it was the sweet flavor they didn’t particularly love, because the amount added was small, it actually made the refreshing taste stand out even more under the contrast of the sweetness.

Not bad, really not bad!

Previously in the office, whenever a new girl wanted to enhance her bust, she would drink papaya and kudzu powder in rotation—though it really didn’t work and soon they got tired of it, keeping everyone supplied with a cup daily.

They, the big dudes, weren’t picky. Other than not enlarging breasts, this stuff had a bit of everything else, good for health—yeah, not bad! It’s just the taste was so-so, and that probably explained why it hadn’t taken the country by storm over the years.

But the kudzu powder they were drinking now was certainly not the same grade as what they’d bought before!

In the office, everyone took a spoonful each, and the bag was still full. This stuff could really last a while and was worth it!

"Hurry up, from which store? Give me a link!"

Seeing colleagues so eager, everyone started stirring faster and became more anxious.

Only big sister was stunned: "Xiaozhao, didn’t you say it was for everyone to taste? Where’s mine?"

Zhao Lei paused, then said in surprise: "Big sister, you’re usually the pickiest, you’d like to eat this? I was worried they might have added something that’s not good for you."

After speaking earnestly and enjoying the continual urging of his colleagues, he finally took pride in saying:

"No more, can’t buy it. Their stuff has always been about who’s quickest..."

He paused, but this time, did not dodge around but generously gave out the address: "XX livestream platform, uh that thing, ’Secretary Xiaozu Boosts the Village’s Economy’ livestream room."

"This livestream is initiated by the village Secretary, trying to find more sales channels for the villagers."

"However, currently there isn’t much to sell, the Kudzu Root Powder is from an old timer in the village, it’s made from wild kudzu roots, heaven knows how many years old, the quality isn’t the same as the common ones you find on the market."

As he laid out so much background, those impatient had already downloaded the APP and found the livestream room, and immediately blurted out, "What the heck! Didn’t you say this is the village Secretary helping villagers to find sales channels? And their village also sells hand cream?"

What, what now?

Zhao Lei was about to ask when suddenly his phone also "dinged." Both devices, with the closely watched livestream room, sounded off with a notification:

[Hand cream for everyone, coming up!]

Clicking on the details, they saw a heartfelt apology letter...
