Chapter 1052: 1032. Is Qiaoqiao that amazing?
Zhang Yanping’s face fell.
A night shift for half a month only adds one thousand yuan, and she still deducts so?
With Song Tan’s miserly appearance, how could she be so ruthless!
Zhang Yanping picked up her phone: “I’m sending the video to the village group right now…”
Song Tan couldn’t help but laugh: “Alright, alright, just ntion it in our family’s group chat and let them take a look. Don’t spread it further. The old man is already elderly, and he still has a personal assistant. He’s soone with status… if he gets mocked, it wouldn’t look good.”
“Yes, yes! That’s right, that’s right!” Secretary Xiaozu finally let out a sigh of relief.
She trusts the moral character of the Song Family. At the mont, she didn’t say much else but sighed: “If it really gets out, I’ll have to face family discipline… Song Tan, Song Tan, don’t worry. Once this pig-slaughtering feast is over, I’ll go to the municipal office to stage a protest to get the village’s electricity lines upgraded!”
Song Tan finally exclaid, “Oh my! Weren’t you talking about writing invitations? Should I write them today?”
“Write them!” Secretary Xiaozu nodded vigorously. “Write them today. I’ll deliver them first thing tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is the 7th; just enough ti to give our leaders so preparation.”
It’s year-end, everyone’s busy!
Switching gears, Secretary Xiaozu successfully obtained the video that was fild last night. Without hesitation, she dragged several of the grandpas as well as Brother Xiaodu into the group chat, then posted two videos.
One panoramic. One close-up. Truly a comprehensive display, nothing left out.
Up in the mountains, those who had finally overco their terrifying mories reluctantly finished their mountain breakfast—truth be told, the chef’s skills were quite decent. Plus, everything was cooked in a ground-based stove, making it much more exciting than the mountain’s health-food dishes.
But…
Thinking back to their drunken escapade as soon as they arrived, Lao Zhu now felt a bit ashad. It was hard enough to accept the embarrassnt in his mories, but seeing last night’s video now…
Lao Zhu was devastated—if only he had brought an oxygen tank!
Xiaodu’s face darkened, thinking to himself: if their drunken antics led to the old man’s crew ending up trending online… It’s over, completely over. My whole life is ruined!
Drinking is harmful!
No more drinking, absolutely no more! Not even the Queen Mother’s wine!
And last night’s al… How hateful! They only managed to eat five and a half bowls, barely savoring the dishes! For the next round of food, they’ll have to wait until the pig slaughter…
Xiaodu hardened his resolve and imdiately asked, “Where’s the pigsty? How about we go check out the pigs first?”
Five people, five pigs. Let’s figure out which leg to pull first and put in so effort to redeem this embarrassing mory from everyone’s minds.
“No way!” Du i hurriedly stopped them: “Before the pig slaughter, no one is allowed near the pigsty. Don’t even ntion the words ‘pig slaughter,’ otherwise the pigs might overhear it, lose their appetite, and get upset.”
Uh-huh?
Everyone was stunned.
In fact, when Du i first heard this, she found it hard to believe, but after witnessing the earnest explanations of several countryside grandmas and aunties, she’s now fully convinced and speaks with confidence:
“It’s true. Pigs are incredibly smart. If you ntion slaughtering pigs, they can sense it. Who isn’t afraid of death? If they get scared, they won’t eat, their mood is affected, they won’t gain weight, and they might even lose pounds…”
“Besides, we’re going to eat them anyway, so why scare them? These pigs are so pitiful!”
Lao Zhu and the others didn’t feel the pigs were pitiful—raising pigs and chickens, aren’t they all ant for slaughter? But losing weight was unacceptable, difficult to stomach.
So, the group asked, “What kind of pigs does the family raise?”
Du i, having helped cook pig feed before, replied with enthusiasm: “Da Wang caught two little wild boars, one’s been castrated, the other hasn’t.”
“Qiaoqiao brought back a big wild boar—a sow. It’s planned to breed next year and produce lively, firm-at piglets.”
Oh wow! Lao Zhu imdiately began drooling: “Wild boar at is great. It’s tough to stew, but if you really stew it thoroughly and tender, the fragrance can’t be matched by dostic pigs!”
anwhile, Xiaodu was astonished: “Qiaoqiao, looking so clean and delicate, can capture wild boars? How did he catch them?”
For soone trained like them, they wouldn’t dare face off against a wild boar unard. How is Qiaoqiao so capable?
Well, um. Du i had never seen it herself, but she heard: “Just… use two sweet potatoes to lure it into the pigsty, isn’t that simple?”
The group: …
“Wait, can the wild boar be eaten now?”
“Yes!” Du i had wondered before but now replied confidently: “For years, hunting wild boars was prohibited. Now they’ve beco rampant in these woods, so Ning Province allowed hunting wild boars this spring.”
“I heard last year they allowed it too, but you had to spend 500 yuan to get a permit. This year, not even 500 yuan is required.”
“The Song Family doesn’t particularly enjoy eating wild boars. If that big wild boar hadn’t ssed up their sweet potato field, they wouldn’t have bothered to catch it!”
…
anwhile, in Yun City’s urban area, Old Zhao set off with his nephew.
Before departing, he edited a ssage for his family group chat—
［Premium radish and cabbage are about to hit the shelves. Initial sale limited to 1,000 jin. Hurry if you want to buy!］
The group couldn’t help but grumble:
［Why don’t you tell us when Yunqiao’s gourt products will be available?］
［Exactly! The good stuff is coming less and less now!］
［Old Zhao, I’ve been buying vegetables from your stall for years, and now you can’t even sell a jar of honey!］
［Yeah! It’s the end of the year, and tea leaves aren’t available either.］
［When’s the fish going to be sold? It’s almost New Year’s. Sell so so we can prepare it for the celebration feast!］
Old Zhao glanced at his phone, pretending to sigh deeply:
［Dear family, it’s not that I don’t want to find a way for Yunqiao’s gourt products. Truth is, our city’s initial sales volu was low, and we aren’t their primary supply custors.］
［That limited stock was sothing I worked hard to pull strings for. At first, everyone hesitated due to the price, and I had little confidence myself.］
［Now they’ve got suppliers, and the wholesale price for tea leaves won’t be less than 100,000 yuan. Before, the 10,000 yuan price was just to break into the market at a loss… Honey requires bundled purchases even more.］
［Family, it’s not that I lack skill now, but we really don’t have that capability…］
The nephew was quietly driving, listening to Old Zhao’s audio-to-text ramblings and couldn’t help but glance sideways.
But the longer Old Zhao’s been in business, the thicker his skin has beco:
“What are you looking at? Am I not speaking the truth? Even if the pricing has so slight discrepancies, the stock volu is accurate!”
The honest nephew: …
Just as Old Zhao was righteously defending himself, his phone buzzed again.
He looked down—it was a private ssage from the group chat:
［Tea leaves for 100,000 yuan a jin—I’ll buy!］
Another ssage ca through—
［How much honey do I need to purchase to qualify for the bundle? I’ll buy!］
［What’s the price of silver ear fungus? Prices are negotiable.］
Old Zhao: …!!!
What? In this 18th-tier town of Yun City, how co there are people with so much money?!
