Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 29: 29. Relative issues

Views:

Looking at the green wild vegetables all over the ground, Wulan still felt distressed: "Are you really not going to sell them?"

Song Tan has gotten used to picking wild vegetables these days: "I won't sell them anymore."

Give the wild vegetables a chance to survive. The spiritual energy they have already been digested has already been almost completely digested. If you continue to sell them, their taste will not be up to standard.

By the way, she also whetted the appetite of her precious 28 group members.

"Twenty yuan per pound!" Wu Lan still didn't give up.

"Twenty yuan a pound!" Qiao Qiao parroted.

Song Tan put down the shovel and said, "Mom, look at me. I graduated from college and work in Ningcheng. Does that give you face?"

Wu Lan curled her lips slightly: "Why are you saying this? You can't live by reputation - it's OK. There are not many college students in our village."

"Look, if I stop working and come back to farm, will the villagers complain? Let's go meet my grandma and uncle. Will they say anything? Will they persuade me? Will they say that I don't know how to educate my children?"

Wu Lan's face gradually darkened: "Why do they do that? My daughter earns 10,000 or 20,000 yuan selling wild vegetables. Do you think they are that lucky?"

Song Tan: ... There is no need to emphasize that it is luck, it is actually real ability.

But she just said at this moment: "Wild vegetables are available every year, why don't they sell them at this price? If you say I make a lot of money, they will definitely think you are being stubborn. Our wild vegetables grow well, so we have to let them taste them and shut them up."

"Shut up!" Repeater Qiao Qiao spoke again.

Wulan looked at him and said, "You silly boy, what do you know? But, Tantan, you are right!"

"They just love to point fingers. I have to let them know that my daughter is in college and is better at farming than them!"

"Come on, Qiao Qiao, pick more!"

Song Tan also smiled secretly, hiding his achievements and fame.

Actually, their family members are quite harmonious with each other and there are no major conflicts.

But Qiao Qiao is like this. Although Wulan wanted to save face back then, he actually swallowed countless tears behind the scenes.

There were stupid children in the village before. To raise a stupid child requires a lot of effort, education, and careful care...

In short, those who are able to take care of themselves are mostly sent to factories by agents, and go to where the salary is higher.

Those who are unable to take care of themselves are sent to local engineering teams to do manual labor, with food, drink and accommodation provided... which also gives their families a sigh of relief.

For Qiao Qiao, it seemed that Wulan had done something wrong, and every relative in the family could give her some advice. They might not all have bad intentions, but it was heartbreaking anyway.

Now that a healthy college student has suddenly returned to farm, his relatives don’t know what to think.

With these wild vegetables for them to taste, Wulan will feel more confident.

Thinking of this, Ulan no longer remembered the twenty yuan.

While the mother and son were working hard, Song Tan's phone kept ringing. He opened it and saw that people in the [Rural Wild Vegetables] group were asking questions:

[Boss, when will you come again?]

[Girl, bring more shepherd's purse next time. It's good for making dumplings. I didn't get any last time.]

[Add more wild onions! This pork bun is especially delicious!]

[Boss, your food is great, but it’s too expensive. My son spends over a hundred dollars on a meal. If you calculate the cost of food, it’s a lot!]

[That’s right, girl, it’s warm now and there are a lot of wild vegetables. When can you make it cheaper?]

Song Tan thought about it and took a picture of picking wild vegetables:

[Dear customers, it is the growing season for wild vegetables now, and there are more and more of them in the market. It is difficult to maintain the price of 20 yuan per catty. In addition, the wild vegetables in this field grew early, and now they are gradually getting old. In order to ensure the quality, we will not sell wild vegetables this year.]

As soon as these words were spoken, the group exploded instantly.

[Hey girl, we are just talking about the price, I didn’t say it has to be cheap. Twenty is twenty, I just like your food.]

[Yes, boss, please don’t refuse to sell! Don’t worry, I will only buy from you in the entire market.]

[What wild vegetables are old? Look how green they are. They are just like the ones you usually buy... Boss, aren't they being picked?]

Song Tan replied one by one:

[I plan to leave the last batch of wild vegetables for my relatives. Sorry, I won’t sell them!]

[But I'll warn you in advance that the Chinese milk vetch can be picked in three days. It's plentiful and tasty. See you at the market then. If you like it, you can prepare it in advance. It's also 20 yuan per pound.]

This sudden news left everyone stunned.

Before I had time to feel sorry for the wild vegetables, how come we are already growing Astragalus

Besides, wasn't the astragalus originally planted in the fields as fertilizer? To feed cattle, sheep, pigs, etc. They don't eat much of it locally.

I planted this myself, and the astragalus is so easy to grow, so why does it cost 21 kilograms? This is too expensive.

There was silence in the group for a moment.

Only one group member who had never bought groceries commented:

[I was shopping with my girlfriend and found this stall by accident. I have always wanted to try wild vegetables, but never bought any. Now I am back home—Boss, does Astragalus membranaceus taste as good as wild vegetables? If so, can you please give me five pounds and send it by express delivery?]

Ouch!

Finally, I have an online shopping customer.

Song Tan agreed readily:

[Yes, but this dish needs to be fresh and tender, so it needs to be shipped frozen, and the freight is payable on delivery.]

The other party seemed to have never been able to grab the product, and now seeing that it could be pre-ordered and shipped, he did not hesitate:

"OK!"

Someone started the conversation, and everyone smacked their lips at the taste of the wild vegetables, and now they all became more active:

[Okay, what day of the week will it be in three days? I will definitely be there then!]

[Xiu-fen, I'll go too. Let's go together.]

[Don't worry, girl. As long as the taste of the food remains the same, I can keep buying it.]

Song Tan thought about it and realized that Chinese aconite is not a wild vegetable, but a vegetable that can be grown on more than ten acres of land and has a good yield.

Although she didn't give much spiritual energy, she had already started to cultivate it slowly from the seed stage, so the taste would definitely not be bad, and it might even be sweeter than wild vegetables.

Of the seven fields, except for one that must be left for the old cow to eat, the rest can be sold.

It is simply not possible to rely on just the twenty-eight group members!

So we need to be more diligent in setting up stalls in the market, and we should also edit the video to promote it appropriately. No matter what, every customer we get at the beginning is worth it.

Although there may not be much transaction volume at the beginning due to the high unit price, she can guarantee repeat customers, which is a long-term steady flow of income.

So he added: "Please help promote it. Otherwise, if few people buy it, I will go to Ningcheng to ask if there are any suppliers who need it, and then I won't sell it individually."

The aunties who were doing underground confidential work were all too guilty to say a word.

It’s not that there are few wild vegetables, they are just afraid they won’t be able to get them, so they keep it secret!

Even so, sometimes they are bought by people who come to the vegetable market to join in the fun.

But since the astragalus is said to be filling, why not ask the boss to hire a few people? Otherwise, if this continues, what will we do if we can't eat good food in the future

Everyone started to make their own plans.
