The chef arranged a box of vegetables on his own and then ran away with the box.
Doctor Zhang's face flushed red. Seeing that the wild vegetables were in danger, he hadn't mustered up the courage to think of a line yet. Now he was so excited that he rushed directly to the office:
"Director, I bought some more wild vegetables. Let's go to the cafeteria together at noon—"
He is stuck.
Because in this office, sitting at the top position is a middle-aged man who is familiar yet not so familiar to the people of this province.
The other person looked at him and laughed cheerfully: "Are we going to the cafeteria to eat wild vegetables together? Is it convenient to add me and Secretary Wang?"
Doctor Xiao Zhang didn't know whether this meal was convenient or not. He only knew that he felt like he was in a cloud and didn't even know what he had for lunch.
Later, many people came to talk to him, but he only remembered that he numbly pushed Song Tan's WeChat message, and then he became dazed and stupid again.
Fortunately, the chef was considerate and, seeing that he looked distracted, gave him a thermos bucket of porridge.
Doctor Xiao Zhang was sitting in the department, touching his shoulder and thinking: My boss is patting me on the shoulder!
Then he happily opened the lid.
At that moment, the overbearing fragrance of vegetables filled the entire department and was smelled by passers-by through the open door.
By the time the meal was over, even the patients could smell the odor.
…
Song Tan had no idea about the ups and downs in Dr. Xiao Zhang's life.
She only knew that since that afternoon, her phone had been filled with messages asking her to add friends one after another, and the notes on them were all very strange.
There is someone named Secretary Wang - Oh my God, who would come up with a friend request saying "Hello, I'm Secretary Wang, are you Ms. Song who sells wild vegetables?"
There is also one called bed 46.
There were also some people whom Song Tan knew - their friend requests all had the prefix of Provincial People's Hospital in the remark, so they were probably colleagues of Dr. Zhang Yuan.
However, Song Tan is busy working now and has no time to think about it, so he simply pulls all these people into his vegetable selling group.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Only the man who marked himself as "Secretary Wang" raised three question marks, and then quickly withdrew them.
But he obviously has the greatest consumption potential, and he asked right away:
"Hello, do you have any more wild vegetables of the quality sent to Dr. Zhang? I want 50 kilograms."
As soon as she said this, she was besieged by the aunts in the group.
[Hey, young man! Don't be so greedy. We only buy ten kilograms of wild vegetables.]
[Wild vegetables are no longer for sale now, only Chinese milk vetch is left. It is delicious when stir-fried, but not so good for making dumplings. If you want to buy some for one person, just buy one or two kilograms to try, don’t buy 50 kilograms.]
[Don't worry, the boss said there is a large supply of Astragalus, so there is no need to rush.]
Most of the messages sent by the aunts were long voice messages. In the provincial government office, Secretary Wang patiently listened to them one by one. The more he listened, the weirder it seemed to him.
This vegetable vendor... does he really not take him seriously
Didn't he ask Dr. Zhang for an introduction? Why was the other party so cold
When he came to his senses again after being distracted, he found that the group had started sharing new recipes for shepherd's purse dumplings and purslane buns. Then an aunt posted a photo of stir-fried pork with chili and astragalus...
Well, it’s really a serious vegetable selling group.
He, Wang Qing, the chief secretary of the provincial party committee, is now waiting in this group to grab food
Secretary Wang missed the lunch he had in the hospital cafeteria, and was in a daze again.
In fact, if they all have the same flavor, it’s okay to join a group and queue up!
Thinking of the leader's endless praise and repeated nagging, Secretary Wang gritted his teeth:
[Boss, I want ten kilograms of Astragalus sinicus. Please ship it as soon as possible.]
Thankfully, this time money was involved, and the boss finally showed up:
"Ten pounds? Do you want it today?"
Secretary Wang was delighted: "Yes, today, the sooner the better!"
Song Tan was very satisfied with this new big farmer: "Okay, I'll go pick them later and ship them this afternoon. But you have to pay for the courier fee yourself!"
After thinking for a while, I couldn't help but ask again: "You are all colleagues of Dr. Zhang Yuan, right?" Dr. Zhang is really nice! The twenty yuan worth of wild vegetables is worth it.
Sure enough, there was a chorus of responses in the group.
The number of people here has now reached 61. Secretary Wang didn't say anything and no one cared at all.
Song Tan took another look at the list of items that needed to be shipped, and couldn't recognize what level of family compound this was, so he turned around and put the matter out of his mind.
…
Old man Li's cow has officially stepped into the field. It can't lift its head because of the fresh and tender sweet clover on the ground. If it weren't for Old man Li pulling the reins firmly, the old cow would have wanted to sleep in the field at night.
After all, it feels really good to be surrounded by the faint spiritual energy from all directions.
On this side, Qiao Qiao was picking vegetables, while Song Tan was facing Lao Niu and Old Man Li, and finally took a video full of pastoral atmosphere.
At this point, although the astragalus has not yet bloomed, she has accumulated enough material for her first video.
It is tiring and inefficient to rely on individual customers to sell five or six plots of sweet clover. Besides, although Song Tan wants to make money, he also likes to see others enjoying the food.
Therefore, she planned to sell products online for a long time.
Originally, I planned to become famous by shooting a beautiful video of the astragalus blooming.
But this sweet clover is delicious only when it is in tender buds, it becomes old when it blooms.
She had no choice but to edit together some videos of herself picking and sorting wild vegetables, some videos shot at the vegetable market, and shots in the fields to warm up the scene.
Nowadays, the pace of life is fast and the pressure is high, and more and more people like pastoral videos.
Although Song Tan took this photo with a mobile phone and the filter composition is simple, the advantage is that the family is really doing farm work. The juicy wild vegetables and fresh sweet clover seem to jump out of the screen!
She simply added some music, and then posted the link to the Taobao store she had just applied for. The title was simple and direct:
[Waiting for the nameless little wild flower in my childhood memory—Astragalus sinicus]
Small words below: "Fresh and refreshing Astragalus sinensis seedlings are waiting to be put on the market. Free shipping nationwide during the promotion period! You can pick them live!"
Free shipping nationwide is already Song Tan’s limit, so the price remains at 20 yuan per pound.
The first video directly put the product link. Looking at the entire network, Song Tan only saw herself. The intention to make money was so obvious that she didn't know if anyone would buy it.
However, we have to figure out the path step by step.
The fresh and tender period of Chinese sweet clover is only ten days to half a month. Sell as much as you can. If you can’t sell it, turn the land over and make it all green manure. It will still be useful!
After all, they had intended to use Chinese milk vetch as green manure from the beginning! Selling vegetables was just a side job.
This wave belongs to not forgetting the original intention.
As for whether online shopping will disappear... I don't know.
Song Tan believes that as long as someone tries to buy, she will be able to keep them coming back!
This is the biggest advantage.
