Chapter 936: 918. Wild Chrysanthemums [Lots of Danmu]

This hour of live streaming obviously can’t be spent just sitting around, so Qiaoqiao, holding up her left hand to show it off for a while, sighed, "Then what should I do... what should I do?"

Zhang Yanping looked around and said, "The greenhouse is too small; there’s not much to see. You might as well take advantage of today’s nice weather and show everyone our mountain."

After thinking for a bit, he cautioned, "Don’t take them to see the pigs, okay? The pigs are big now, all very tasty... If you show them to people who can’t eat them, it will make them feel upset."

[Big Brother Underworld, when it comes to being ruthless and tough, it really has to be you!]

[You know exactly how to hit a nerve with me]

[Just talk about how to choose pigs for slaughter in winter!]

[Are you even speaking like a human?]

[I can’t even eat it, and you won’t even let me have a look?]

[We’ve had an outbreak of swine fever here, the price of ribs at the supermarket has gone up to 38 yuan per 500 grams]

[Same with the swine fever... with the New Year coming, it won’t hike up the prices again, will it?]

[I remember buying commercial pork for 27 yuan per 500 grams during the Spring Festival two years ago... it hurts!]

As expected, the conversation has gone off course.

Qiaoqiao doesn’t read the comments; life has less troubles that way. At this moment she obediently nods her head, "Okay, I’ll take everyone to see the apple trees."

Zhang Yanping thinks about the bare apple trees on the mountain and hesitates for a moment, but still nods:

"Alright, folks love to follow you around, you broadcast whatever you want."

Qiaoqiao doesn’t quite understand, but upon hearing the praise, she nods again: "Right! The kids do listen well."

Zhang Yanping: ...Indeed, because they are all cursing at me.

...

Actually, Qiaoqiao’s choice isn’t wrong. The vast expanse behind the mountain is indeed quite the sight to see.

The road up the mountain, though now smooth and well-maintained, is still flanked by gentle slopes of uneven yellow soil on both sides.

In the gaps between the road and the bushes, clusters of bright yellow wild chrysanthemums are blooming exuberantly on this cold winter day, their fragrance rich and vigorous, wholly natural and plant-like.

But to the children of the village, this is nothing unusual.

Wild chrysanthemums, blooming from September until the end of the year, sometimes even when the branches and leaves have withered away, the flowers persist. Although in previous years, people would cut and sell them in droves, causing them to be seldom seen for a while...

But as the economy has become more active and travel more convenient nowadays, many are willing to go out and work for money, so the humble wild chrysanthemums have once again flourished and grown magnificently.

Qiaoqiao likes the slightly bitter fragrance of the chrysanthemums and now brings the camera closer: "It’s so fragrant... I used to pick these and dry them to brew tea."

He acts like an expert: "You must add rock sugar when you brew it, otherwise it’s so bitter and hard to drink! You can also boil it in water to make a face mask. My sister used to get a lot of acne when she was in school, so she would use this boiled water to soak a disposable mask, then apply it to her face."

He’s talking about what Song Tan used to do back in her college days when she suddenly got a lot of pimples and acne. Too thrifty to spend money on skincare products, she would return home to boil dried chrysanthemums in water and soak disposable paper masks...

By some lucky mistake, it actually had some effect.

But the live stream audience misunderstood upon hearing this—

[Man, wild chrysanthemums are that effective?]

[Looking at the acne on my face, my hand is itching to place an order right now]

[Just keep broadcasting from there, don’t stop; I’ll go buy some chrysanthemums and be right back]

[Do we need to buy the wild chrysanthemums from the host’s place, or just any will do? Are chrysanthemum buds okay?]

[What a coincidence! I bought a lot of pearl chrysanthemums mentioned by the host before and haven’t finished them... now they’ll come in handy!]

[Calm down guys! Just looking at the skin of the host siblings, you can tell it’s not nourished by skincare products]

[Good skin, it’s seventy percent nature and thirty percent care]

Everyone chatted noisily, which finally calmed the impulsive mood of the crowd.

Alas, being a streamer who knows nothing yet dares to speak about everything is really tough!

However, the streamer himself knew nothing about it, and he merrily finished checking the wild chrysanthemums and went back on the road forward.

When he reached the slope, he pointed forward with his gloved finger: "Kids, these are my apple trees! Look, aren’t they very tall and robust?"

Ah, this, ah this...

The people in the live streaming room ate apples often, but apple trees... Everyone looked left and right, and finally realized:

[Could it be that the bare tree... is the apple tree?]

[Got to admit, it’s really tall, how will we pick apples from it when the time comes?]

[It’s so strange, other people’s apple trees are short and bushy with lots of branches, resulting in a dense look... why is this one so tall?]

[You guys must be mistaken, nowadays apple trees are short, you can’t even pick apples from something so tall.]

What everyone mentioned is precisely why these apple trees are free - they’re old varieties from many years ago, too difficult and costly to manage and harvest, completely different from the adjusted short fruit trees of today.

Yet Qiaoqiao happily said: "These apple trees grow so tall, Teacher Song said after the vernalization of winter, next year they will reach for higher and brighter places to soak up the sunlight and dew."

"Their roots will spread deeper and wider to stabilize their standing bodies, absorbing more nutrients..."

He was very much looking forward to it: "So although the tender leaves that grew in autumn have only been there for a short while before withering, next year there will be many, many fruits, and they’ll definitely be delicious!"

[Wow, amazing! A streamer who can’t go three sentences without talking about eating—just post the link already!]

[I never thought there’d come a day when I, as a noble consumer, would earnestly beg a streamer to put up a pre-sale link for next year’s products]

[Post the link, post the link]

[Brother Lianjie, you’re here again? Don’t even say it, the streamer has never listened to you]

[I don’t care, I don’t care, next year we must have more apples for the fans!]

[That’s right! Listen to me, streamer! Apples can’t sell for much anyway. Our honeyheart apples are not even 7 yuan per catty, it’s more profitable to sell to fans]

[Yes, yes, yes! Fans, have money! Been saving since Chinese New Year]

[Streamer, let’s make a pre-sale link, sell corn first, then apples...]

[Tears in my eyes, so someone else remembers that corn too]

[Eh... Since it can’t be bought now, I just want to ask what’s that large green patch over there? There’s so much, you can sell that, right?]

What’s that green?

Qiaoqiao didn’t see the chat, but it didn’t stop the educational streamer from introducing them one by one to everyone.

Green radishes, white radishes, red radishes, carrots.

Lettuces, big cabbages, small cabbages, black cabbages (Wutacai), yellow-heart cabbages.

There’s also Leek, because it’s quite frost-resistant, so it comes out to bask in the sun during the day and is simply covered with a thin film at night. Right now, it’s growing in a large green patch, and there is a freshly cut new batch further away.

Not to mention cilantro, spring onions, and the like.

In short, all the above, if it wasn’t for the fact that Boss Chang offered good money, and the vegetables are easy to grow and manage, Song Tan wouldn’t have planted so much.

In early autumn, the variety of crops would be more abundant, but now...

Qiaoqiao sighed: "That’s all there is left!"
