Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1222. Selling Spinach [Very Many Barrages 1222-in-]

Danmu talks about Danmu, and Qiaoqiao talks about Qiaoqiao.

The former is dazzling, while the latter is as still as a mountain. No matter how many people in the barrage call for the link, Qiao Qiao is still not in a hurry and starts with spinach.

"Children, today I'm going to sell you spinach from the fields. My sister said this is a very old variety called ground spinach, and it's different from the ones sold in supermarkets."

"Because the leaves are lying on the ground, they will be covered with dirt and dust. Children who don't like them don't have to buy them."

"Also, although the leaves of this prostrate spinach look old and dark, they are actually very soft, tender, and sweet when boiled in water. They are much more delicious than they look."

After the winter vacation, Qiao Qiao is a little uncomfortable with being a teacher again. Even talking about spinach sounds dry.

But it doesn't matter, fans don't care about his tone. It's about——

[Link to link! 】

[Oh, I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to understand, I don’t want to know, I just want to eat! Go to the link, Baoer.]

[Ahhhh, hurry up, I've been waiting in the toilet for over ten minutes! ]

【I love eating spinach! 】

[Huh? Why are there so many people in this live broadcast room? Selling spinach lying on the ground? I like this too! Waiting]

Lines of comments flashed by quickly, and Qiao Qiao adjusted the position of his phone, first observing the spinach closely, and then putting it back down again.

At this moment, the camera captured the security team members who had just arrived to carry out the picking task from a distance.

It was too far away and I couldn't see people's faces clearly. I could only vaguely see a dozen people with straight postures, carrying a bench in one hand and a basket in the other. They were obviously wearing a variety of clothes, but they walked into the vegetable field in an inexplicable sense of order.

Because it was the first time that Song Tan recruited employees for his family on such a large scale, he did not have much experience, so when they arrived, they did not even have uniforms prepared, and everyone was still wearing their old clothes.

But it was just such an ordinary outfit that attracted everyone's attention from a distance in the live broadcast room.

[Um… off topic, does anyone else think that people who pick spinach look very elegant?]

[+1, the clothes they wear seem ordinary, but from a distance they look like a whole... it really enhances the atmosphere.]

[Strange, in the past we always invited the aunties and grandmothers from the village to pick the fruits, and their gossip was very interesting, but why are all the people here young men this time?]

As more and more comments paid attention to this point, everyone's attention was attracted by Chen Yuan and others who were sitting on stools in front and shoveling spinach skillfully.

I saw them sitting on small stools wearing old clothes with the baskets beside them.

Then you just need to lift your arm slightly, aim the shovel at the roots of the spinach, and shovel forward lightly, and the whole spinach will be scooped up.

It doesn't seem to require much technical skills, but in the live broadcast room, everyone's movements are consistent, and even the angles are similar, which creates a special sense of order.

[I don’t know what to say, but I never thought that shoveling spinach could relieve stress in this way. ]

[I feel sleepy, what’s going on…]

[Who knows the value of this spinach shovel! Obsessive-compulsive ecstasy! ]

[Teacher Qiao Qiao! Can you please move the camera closer? I want to watch the hypnosis from a close distance and fall asleep.]

  Teacher Qiao Qiao was unmoved. He felt that he had explained all the characteristics of this spinach, and now he loudly announced the price:

"My sister said she wishes everyone a happy new year, and it's 20 yuan per pound, including shipping."

"We shoveled it directly from the ground and weighed it, then sent it by express delivery - there will be a little bit of mud on it, but our weight will also be a little bit more."

"Because the spinach is sold so cheaply, each person can only buy one kilogram."

After he finished speaking, he thought about it carefully. After he had explained the price and purchase restrictions, he nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, kids, it's time to sell it!"

Little did they know that the live broadcast room had exploded again.

[What does that mean? We all just celebrated the New Year, do you look down on my New Year's money? Why is there a purchase limit? ]

[Wow, woo ...

【Teacher Qiao Qiao, you are so kind to us】

[Yes, it’s free shipping! ]

【Buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy...】

[Please don't limit the purchase, ah baby! 】

[Teacher Qiao Qiao, look at this mountain and field, isn't there lush green spinach? ]

[That’s right! Why limit purchases? Just sell as much as you want!]

[Purchase restrictions are good, purchase restrictions are good, this non-African live broadcast room grabbing goods will always be a useless denominator. 】

[Finally the purchase limit has been lifted, so you probably won’t mind having me as an additional member, right? Ahhhh, why did you just buy it right away! ]

In an instant, the dense barrage of comments in the live broadcast room suddenly dropped a lot, and some were even messy garbled characters.

The new fans were surprised by the hundreds of thousands of viewers. They just came in and saw that the screen was full of people with few normal comments.

[??? What's the point of having hundreds of thousands of viewers? There aren't many real fans.]

[That’s right! I still looked for it in the popular live broadcasts. The live broadcast platforms nowadays are really getting more and more unreliable. ]

[Oh, there is a shopping cart with goods...]

[It’s really crazy to sell things to increase popularity... Eh? Streamer, what are you selling in your live broadcast room? ]

[What do you mean? Isn't it spinach? ]

[How could it be spinach? 20 yuan per pound, and now there are over 3 orders... This is too much to increase sales]

[Maybe it’s the kind of thing that’s selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton…]

[Hehehehe, I mobilized all my aunts and uncles to buy one pound each! ]

[Got it, got it, it was really easy to get this time! My bestie and I each bought a pound! ]

【I got it too】

[Hey? What's up with the previous comments? Who bought the fans? Why are you slandering someone out of thin air? ]

[What, there's a newcomer? You really don't know anything and just talk nonsense... Does our Qiao Qiao need to buy fans? ]

The quantity was set large today, so basically everyone can get one. That's why I paid and mobilized relatives and friends to help. But when I came back, I found that the speculations on the barrage were not right.

This made everyone very uncomfortable.

  They couldn't get it, so they came to appease the newcomers...but they couldn't ruin Qiao Qiao's reputation just because they couldn't get it, right?

No one can say that the food at Qiao Qiao’s house is not worth the price!

So in the blink of an eye, the barrage of comments became noisy again.

Zhang Yanping estimated the time and took the opportunity to check the sales volume in the backend.

What the hell!

He quickly reset the inventory and took the product off the shelf. Seeing that the sales volume in the backend was fixed at 52136 orders, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This sold out so fast! It almost sold out!"

The yield of ground spinach is just over 1000 kilograms per mu. Now that so many have been sold, almost all the spinach in the mountains and fields has been cleared out.

The enthusiasm of the big guys who just celebrated the Chinese New Year to spend money should not be underestimated!

……

The order was closed as soon as it was said, and those who didn't buy it were crying loudly. However, Zhang Yanping was as ruthless as a wolf and resolutely did not sell it anymore.

He even came close to the camera to add two sentences:

“I can’t sell it anymore, I really can’t sell it anymore!”

The gangster frowned and said helpless words, which made the netizens in the live broadcast room shudder, and the barrage of comments dropped by 80% instantly.

The other party had a tense look on his face, as if he would immediately pick up a knife and chop people through the Internet if the netizen's comments were not to his liking.

Even the old fans who had followed the live broadcast all the way were holding their breath at this moment.

Zhang Yanping himself didn't feel much, he just looked sad:

"As everyone knows, this price includes free shipping via Fengfeng Express. We are really selling it at a loss."

"Look at the orders that have been sold - more than 5 orders! Thank you for your support! But we can't supply them anymore, we really can't supply them anymore. How long will it take for our spinach all over the mountains to produce more than 5 kilograms?"

"Whether it's enough or not is another matter."

In fact, it should be enough, but there will definitely not be much left in the end. The number of orders now seems to have reached the limit.

The fans choked up for a moment, and only when Zhang Yanping's face left the camera did they finally cry loudly:

[I understand the reason, but why didn’t I buy it? ]

[Just because I was late for work...]

[I hate it! I was in the bathroom and had everything ready, just about to place an order, when my boss called! ]

[Me too! I took a phone call and came back with nothing.]

「Ahhhh, I’m going crazy……」

There's nothing we can do about it.

Zhang Yanping didn't explain any more and just continued broadcasting according to Qiao Qiao's wishes - there has to be a place for everyone to vent their emotions.

Qiao Qiao turned the camera of her mobile phone around and showed everyone from a distance Brother Zhang who was on standby to pack the spinach and the security team members who were shoveling the spinach nearby.

Brother Zhang, who was playing single-player games on three machines and was furious, didn't expect that such huge wealth would come so quickly!

He was prepared to sell a lot of things today.

For example, 1000 orders, 5000 orders... orders!

He has thought about it.

But I never expected that in just a short period of time, more than 5 orders would be received.

  At this moment, he stood there in a daze. The label printer was buzzing and heating up while working. He quickly picked up his phone:

"Wait a minute, I'll apply for a reserve price for you, and we'll go by that reserve price from now on."

  More than 50,000 orders in rural areas... Sooner or later, Xiao Zhang will ride a colorful van and contract all the express deliveries in this area!

Also in shock were Chen Yuan and others who came to scoop up the spinach.

Yes, they admitted that the Song family’s dishes were truly impeccable, and they also thought that they must be very expensive.

Most of them have even watched the live broadcast replay and seen the prices of the vegetables sold during the live broadcast.

It was shocking enough at the time that even a random weed growing in the field was looked upon with great regard.

But no matter how shocked you are, nothing is as shocking as being there and seeing it with your own eyes!

  In just a short while, their baskets haven’t even been filled with spinach yet, but they’ve already sold over 5 kilograms?!

More than 50,000 orders!

  This is even on limited sale!

Is it because they have been in the closed team for too long and now they can’t keep up with the trend of new agriculture?

At this moment, although everyone was carrying benches and shoveling spinach skillfully, their actual movements were soulless and all their emotions were focused on the word "shock".

After a long while, Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Well... I'll adjust my shift tomorrow, and then apply for an upgrade of the equipment in the monitoring room."

Zhu Xinyu asked, "I remember when we came here, we talked about employee benefits. How many kilograms of vegetables were included?"

After everyone thought about it this way, they shoveled even faster.

Song Tan began to worry——

There are more than 5 orders, but I didn’t make much money, far less than Boss Chang.

But the trouble is even greater.

Not to mention anything else, just expanding and gluing all the folding cartons in their warehouse would be a huge project.

She had no choice but to take out her cell phone and use the universal summoning method -

"mom……"

"I told you guys that you guys are not reliable at all!"

Not long after, Wulan rode his tricycle up the mountain and asked, "Do we have to sell so much at once? Can't we sell a little bit every day?"

"There are so many orders at once, and we have to ship them out quickly... We are planting orange trees on the mountain right now, so we don't have enough manpower!"

Now the delivery mechanism on Taotaobao has been adjusted after the New Year, and the orders must be shipped as soon as possible, otherwise he might have to pay them out of his own pocket...

Wu Lan said with a headache: "You guys do it first, I'll find some people."

After saying that, he took out his cell phone, and just as he was about to dial a number, he paused, turned around and rode his tricycle back down the mountain.

Half an hour later, she rode her bike up the mountain again, pulling a bike full of old ladies.

  Song Tan’s eyes widened!

She remembered very clearly that these old men and women were all given big cotton-padded jackets and leather trousers by their families during the Spring Festival, but now they can't do any heavy work, and many of them are still taking medicine.

But now they were all dragged up the mountain by her mother!

Then, without waiting for her to say hello, Wulan said loudly:

"Thank you for your help! It costs 3 cents to glue a box. It doesn't matter if you glue slowly, the main thing is to make sure it is neat..."

  3 cents each?

Okay!

The old ladies were instantly enthusiastic.

At their age, what source of income do they have in the village? The only savings they have are the gifts from their children and grandchildren during festivals.

Nowadays, just gluing a cardboard box can get this price...

  What else is there to say?

Even though they are old, they are still very skilled in tearing off tape!

After settling down, Wulan had to turn around and go home:

"The tape dispensers on the mountain aren't enough. I remember you bought a set of more than ten, right? I'll go back and find them."

For a moment, the hillside, which had been cold and quiet, became lively again.

But in Qiao Qiao's camera, you can see those old men and women from far away.

They wore bulky cotton-padded jackets and rustic leather cotton trousers, crocheted woolen shoes on their feet, and crocheted hats on their heads.

The collar was stuffed so full that not a single bit of the cold wind could penetrate his body.

The old men and women sat there, their skeletons hunched over like a ball of fancy cloth. They moved slowly, squinting their eyes for a while when applying the tape.

But the only thing that was left in my mind was the sound of everyone talking loudly about their deaf and hard of hearing, and the satisfied smiles on their faces.

  Only Song Tan sighed:

Next time, we can’t just take them all up the mountain on a tricycle like this - they’ll get carsick if they do!

Here I come...Good night.

I should be able to get five stars tomorrow or the day after tomorrow...a small goal achieved.
