The day gets brighter and earlier, and the temperature gradually rises.
The peach and cherry trees at the door have begun to bloom. The village is a light green with sprouting grass and trees, and is particularly beautiful with the morning mist.
Song Tan edited the video and posted it last night. It has been refreshed about a hundred or eighty times so far, but it hasn't received many views.
Her cultivation is not professional, at least her peaceful state of mind is not yet cultivated. Seeing the number of views in this digit makes me angry, and finally I turn my grief and anger into motivation and go to the field to pick astragalus.
Anyway, there is no problem selling vegetables. I can make one or two thousand yuan each time if I make one trip a day.
But today, only she and Qiao Qiao were picking.
Grandma Wang Lifen wrapped a piece of plastic rain sheet around her waist, tied the basket to her waist, and then asked with a straw hat, "Tan Tan, I'm going to pick tea leaves, can you pick the vegetables in time?"
After thinking for a while, he added: "Why don't I stay here? There are four people picking tea on the mountain. One more person is enough."
Wulan said quickly, "It's okay, Mom. I'm here. You can go pick tea. It happens that there are people here, so they don't have to dawdle."
In fact, they are all villagers, and Wulan hired hardworking people. No one will slack off even for the sake of face.
But after hearing this reason, Wang Lifen hurried up the mountain.
Song Tan had just brought back the astragalus he had picked. Together with Qiao Qiao, the family of three were busy packing up. Hearing this, they hesitated:
"It's hard to stand in the field all day picking tea leaves. I might as well ask my grandma to help with the cleaning at home."
Wu Lan shook her head: "Working at home isn't that easy, but I want to give you money, but your grandparents won't take it. It's okay for a day or two, but if it goes on for a long time, your uncle will be unhappy."
The pension is paid by both families, so why does the old man only help his youngest son with work
This is not a matter of being petty. In all things, what is worrying is not the lack of food but the inequality of distribution of food.
The reason why their family is so harmonious now is because they pay special attention to this aspect.
"It's different when you go up the mountain to pick tea. We pay people 150 yuan a day. Your grandma is willing to take the money when she goes to pick tea."
Although he made the excuse that he was old and didn't pick much, and agreed to take only 100 after much persuasion, he still took it.
Song Tan nodded and sighed again - this is a completely different mentality from when he was cultivating and farming!
There are too many emotions to take care of.
Wulan carefully picked the astragalus she had picked, and felt sorry for the money she had to pay:
"You said we only have one tea garden, and usually one or two people would be enough. Who knew the tea would grow so well this year, and you insisted on hiring two more people... Now, including your grandmother, the daily wages are 700 yuan."
I don't know why, but the tea leaves this year are growing really well, just like the sweet clover in the fields, with densely packed fresh and tender buds. You can tell just by looking at them that the quality must be very high.
But let's do the math: "The tea leaves are so abundant here that one person can definitely drink four catties of Maojian tea a day. If your grandmother is here, then we'll have to drink five catties of dry tea a day."
"The labor cost is 700, plus we have to pay for fertilizer and other things, and we have to hire someone to fry it... If it's less than 300 per pound, we will definitely lose money."
Wulan was a little worried as she calculated: "The tea from our mountain is not famous at all. Will it work if I sell it at a higher price?"
Song Tan had no choice but to promise a hundred times: "Mom, don't worry! If it doesn't work, look at our baskets full of wild vegetables. We can make 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in half a month."
"Besides me, who else has this ability?"
My daughter is bragging again!
Wu Lan glared at her and said, "Is that your ability? It's because our fields are doing well and the vegetables they grow are good!"
While muttering: "We have been farming for decades, and you, who know nothing, have caught up with us..."
There was a sense of relief and a little sourness in his words.
Here, I stacked all the bundles of astragalus in plastic storage baskets, and at the same time, I did not forget to instruct:
"Remember to leave two or three pounds of Astragalus for your uncle and aunt. Last time I said I would send you wild vegetables, but I was too busy the next day to take care of them. Now the wild vegetables are old."
"You've been selling vegetables for about a month. It would be inappropriate if you don't deliver them this time."
Song Tan nodded: "Okay, I will definitely not forget it this time."
This time when I went to the vegetable market, there were more aunties waiting on the roadside.
Everyone even helped to carry the basket so that they could buy the vegetables faster. Qiao Qiao took out the QR code and stuck it on his chest as if he was familiar with it. Then he took the plastic bag and was ready to go!
He has been very good at counting recently, and the aunts are all willing to let him get the food. Qiao Qiao is the talk of the town and is very active.
"Girl, you accept reservations and deliver the food to people from other places, why don't we accept reservations here? I'll tell you on WeChat, and you can come, pick up the food and leave. How simple."
Song Tan smiled with a dimple, looking cute and sweet:
"Auntie, they pay for the postage. It costs several dozen yuan each time you ship."
"Besides, people from other places can't taste such good food as ours. They are not like you who have a keen eye for gems and can recognize them at first sight."
"Oh my! You are such a good talker..."
The aunts happily paid the money, then left with a few bundles of vegetables in their hands, satisfied.
In fact, it is not because of the postage, but the process of these reservations and collections is very cumbersome and it is easy to make mistakes if you are not careful.
The quantity is not large now, and this is the only crop currently, so it is not worth developing a small program for this purpose.
Song Tan is busy at home every day, so there is no need to do this.
They are bustling here, and people in the vegetable market are used to it.
A girl brings her silly brother and drives a pickup truck here every day to set up a stall to sell vegetables. The vegetables are very expensive and sell out very quickly!
People in this vegetable market have been looking at it for more than a day or two. Not only are nearby vendors asking about it, but even people buying vegetables can't help but want to join in the fun and ask:
"Big sister, you buy vegetables from this stall every day. Are you doing group buying?"
"No!" the aunt said confidently.
How could she handle the group buying on her phone? She had been buying vegetables at the market all her life:
"This girl's food is good. Let's check the group to see what time she'll come and wait in advance."
He glanced at the vegetable stand behind him and said, "There are only two baskets left. They will probably be sold out in half an hour."
Even though everyone knows the numbers every day, they were still surprised to hear about this efficiency.
This is not the busiest morning market, this is mid-morning, around nine or ten! Is it still possible to sell such fresh leafy vegetables at this time
"What's so good about this dish? I'm going to buy it for 20 yuan, and my family will spend over 100 yuan a day on it."
The vegetable vendor next door couldn't help asking, this way of eating is too extravagant.
And there is this older sister. He looks at her coldly. She comes every day and won’t be satisfied unless she spends a hundred or eighty yuan each time - how rich must this family be
