Chapter 1223: Supplying, Supplying [Double-Length] (2)
[Um... Our Qiaoqiao usually doesn't interact with us, so even if you follow, it doesn't help much. Just focus on making money.]
[Um... Is the honey still for sale this year?]
[Tea leaves, tea leaves, tea leaves, my dad is asking every day and driving me crazy!!!]
[After a nap, everyone stop staring up close, look far away as they are digging up spinach, it's really a good sleep aid.]
[I'm sleepy too...]
[Does anyone feel that the movements of digging up spinach are very synchronized? Do they even have pre-job training for this?]
Meanwhile, Song Tan's phone rang again.
...
Boss Chang was really about to explode with anger!
Just took his eyes off for a moment! And he got burgled!
"Is it because I didn't offer a good price for spinach? We can totally negotiate this." He called angrily, yet with a frighteningly smooth tone.
Song Tan was a bit puzzled: "Didn't you say that since the supply is low and not in scale, it could easily cause customer conflict, so there's no rush to deliver for now?"
Boss Chang was anxious!
"I said we shouldn't rush because of the low supply, but you've sold over 50,000 pounds already!"
50,000 pounds of spinach, at their Changleju could last at least a week or so! And to sell it so cheaply online... Is online traffic really that important now? Just to please and keep fans, they're not even earning money in hand.
Song Tan found it even more strange: "Then for real business, are you just going to sell this one spinach?"
Boss Chang:...
Heartbroken.
Really broken.
Indeed, either don't sell, or sell many varieties. A decent restaurant having only spinach is too outrageous.
But the issue is, the reason they ended up like this is all because of Lao Song's family!
"Can't you really expand the scale?"
"Nope." Song Tan tore the tape with a crackling sound: "If we did lease hundreds of acres and export vegetables and fruits globally... we'd make a lot of money, but our lives would be a complete mess!"
Moreover, with her snail-paced cultivation, managing to draw some Spiritual Energy to this village was already quite an effort.
Reaching any further isn't feasible, not at all feasible; she still has to regularly check the land at Shitou Slope.
But Boss Chang has no clue how painful it is, how could there be someone who leaves money on the table!
But... after thinking it over, he swallowed his complaints.
Because if Lao Song's family really cared about money, some bigshot could casually throw in more money to contract it all, and he wouldn't survive.
Forget it, let's leave it at that.
He took a deep breath and reminded: "If the variety increases, don't forget me!"
"Rest assured!" Song Tan, liking this Chang Letian, earnestly promised: "Don't worry! In another month, the greens in the fields will be in full scale."
"This year, there's more labor in the village, and we are alternating and rotating planting, so it'll be much more than last year."
Boss Chang finally felt relieved, giving countless reminders before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
And here, someone else was also making their way back to Yunqiao Village.
"The change is quite notable..."
Bai Yan stood at the high-speed rail station, looking around at the environment, took a deep breath to invigorate himself, then got in a taxi at the exit:
"Do you know Yunqiao Village? Take me there."
"Sure, sure, I know, I go there often—but there aren't many passengers going there, I might not find anyone else, so just you will count as a charter, it'll be 400 bucks."
The driver said while carefully observing the person through the rearview mirror—if it's a young person, he wouldn't offer such a quote, because everything's transparent now, you can check online, there're guides and all.
But this guy looks like an unwell middle-aged man, didn't even touch his phone after getting in; probably doesn't scroll much on short video apps.
That makes it simple, first quote a price!
If you find it expensive, you can negotiate!
Underneath the driver's calm face, his heart anxiously awaited.
Yet Bai Yan thought: For Yunqiao Village in that remote mountainous area, it might be quite far from the railway station...
400...maybe it's reasonable!
Sigh! If he hadn't been fired, he could've had a local chef personally drive to pick him up. At worst, he wouldn't even need to think about 400 bucks.
Now... he could only sigh about the fall from grace!
Hmph, but it doesn't matter. Once he meets the old master, speaks sweetly and flatteringly...
Such a supply channel in hand, such skills in cultivating special vegetables, wouldn't those bosses from Youran Eco Base or across at Changleju be all eager to partner with him?
Chef Bai steeled his expression, signaling the driver to drive faster.
