Chapter 1803: Chapter 1652: Daxiong’s Double
The cucumbers are in their peak fruiting period, not only are there plenty of fresh, crisp fruits, but also many bright yellow flowers.
One after another among the leaves, making it hard to keep up.
Obviously, this spring and sumr, the bees at ho have been living an unprecedentedly wonderful life.
In front of the livestream cara, there are often little bees buzzing around. Yun Duo is a villager, and even if she sees them, she knows not to provoke them, as generally they don’t sting anyone.
So she confidently holds her phone, following Qiaoqiao back and forth in the cucumber field.
However, the chat started going off-topic after moving away from Sanbao and Sanbao’s cubs.
At this mont, soone murmured:
[Haven’t seen Daxiong for a long ti.]
Once ntioned, more and more people joined the discussion, and so fans have exceptionally deep feelings towards Daxiong.
After all, Qiaoqiao’s first batch of fans was attracted by Daxiong’s furry behind.
This borderline gimmick is sothing many subsequent countryside strears attempted to imitate but couldn’t replicate, secretly cursing it many tis.
Thinking about how scheming this family’s script is!
Yun Duo silently watched by the side, unable to understand the aesthetics and thoughts of contemporary young people.
But with more people asking, she reminded Qiaoqiao:
"Everyone says we haven’t seen Daxiong for a long ti."
Qiaoqiao sighed: "It’s hot."
He frowned in distress, but his hands kept picking cucumbers: "Daxiong doesn’t like working in the heat."
[I don’t believe it, I also don’t like working in the heat, but I’m still working?]
[Is that Daxiong’s decision, or is it because you spoil him?]
[Didn’t Teacher Qiaoqiao say Daxiong has to work all day to get a full belly? How co he’s not working now?]
[Do bear bees have such a long lifespan? Isn’t it possible that Daxiong is already gone?]
This comnt fleetingly appeared, but still made everyone tense!
[It’s possible, Daxiong is the queen bee, so his lifespan is a bit longer than regular bear bees, typically around a year.]
[Yeah, it’s already been a year and a half.]
[Is Daxiong really...]
[If Daxiong is really gone, there’s nothing that can be done, it’s the species’ lifespan, and nothing to do with the strear.]
[I know, but it’s still really sad, never seen such a unique bear bee.]
[Hey, mainly because you’ve probably only seen that one bear bee in your lifeti...]
As everyone chatted, the mood inexplicably turned somber, even Qiaoqiao picking cucumbers up front couldn’t draw their attention.
Yun Duo was a bit puzzled: "Isn’t Daxiong just fine?"
Her words were heard by everyone, sparking excitent in the livestream:
[Really? Strear, I checked online, really only about a year’s lifespan, don’t lie to ]
[If Daxiong’s gone, it’s fine, it’s not the strear’s fault]
[Let’s not go on about replacents...]
But Yun Duo thought, when she started, she was especially taken to see Daxiong.
Sotis Qiaoqiao secretly gave them extra food, she knew about it too.
Daxiong is really fine!
It’s just, it’s just getting fatter and fatter.
The hole in the beehive was such that it could no longer squeeze in and out, but if enlarged, the hornets could co and go as they pleased.
Song Tan was quite helpless too.
Overall, when they first raised him, they didn’t realize he’d have this lazy, gluttonous nature.
Now the entire bear bee colony is languid.
Aside from exerting themselves in the greenhouse during winter, during this great ti in spring, sumr, and autumn, even if they can’t live off the pollen they find themselves, they still accept offerings from the bees.
Especially Daxiong, for the entire bear bee clan, they can barely feed themselves, let alone him.
He relies entirely on the bees for sustenance.
These days...
When Yun Duo first encountered Daxiong, she was afraid, such a big bee, although furry, it was still a bee.
But seeing that chubby, furry, black and yellow striped distinctive body, then those light, thin, small and utterly incapable of supporting its weight poor little wings, and then Daxiong slowly crawling on fingers...
Oh!
Who would be afraid of such a bear bee!
Now thinking back on the comnts in the livestream, she surprisingly understood.
But, everyone did not appreciate the double narrative for Daxiong’s replacent, she hesitated for a while, saw Qiaoqiao still focused on picking cucumbers, so she ssaged Song Tan.
Even Song Tan didn’t expect the fans to be so devoted!
But given Daxiong’s situation, saying he’s dead was quite a guilty thought.
If he’s not dead, this bear bee living so long, if an entomologist ca by, there’s no way she could accommodate that!
She said: "Just tell everyone that Daxiong’s offspring successfully took over his queen position, and now acts just like him."
Fans don’t like the replacent story, maybe this kind of replacent story is okay.
[Actions]
Yun Duo pondered these words and ultimately shared them with the livestream audience exactly as told.
Everyone was quite indignant!
[How can you use the word "actions" to describe our Daxiong’s wonderful character?]
[Yeah! The bees willingly support him, how can it be Daxiong’s fault?]
[Our Daxiong is just limited by his innate genetic makeup, eats more and flies slower, constantly busy all day without stashing any honey...]
[Don’t say that, feels like you’re speaking about ]
[Waaaah, Daxiong is just , with no savings waaah]
[Stay on topic, Daxiong’s character shouldn’t be blad!]
[Yes, the bees willingly do it! Why don’t they raise other bear bees? Why don’t they raise hornets?]
Yun Duo: ...
Listen to yourselves, bees raising hornets, why don’t workers raise their boss—oh.
Workers really are raising their boss.
Anyway!
She has indeed heard of Daxiong’s trendous achievents.
But if mory serves, Daxiong only had that one encounter where it used its weight to crush several hornets.
Ever since then, it has been content being the queen, occasionally going out to gather a few baskets of pollen, but never again relying on that for sustenance.
Very un-self-reliant, very uninspiring, very contrary to values.
It turns out everyone just likes sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others without labor, right?
The livestream room buzzed with noise for a while, then it had nothing to do with Yun Duo, so she simply kept silent.
Now the sun is high, the temperature soaring, and Qiaoqiao, with flushed cheeks and sweat, looks at the three large baskets of cucumbers before him and says to Yun Duo holding the phone:
"Kids, let’s head back."
"These cucumbers need to be cooled quickly, packaged, and sent out. Wind Speed Express can manage next-day delivery in many places now. Eat them quickly when you get them."
With that remark, everyone reacted—
Oh! There are cucumbers today!
Then they wait to receive them—
[Wait a minute! You didn’t put up the link!!!]
Everyone quickly flooded the screen:
[Put up the link quickly!]
[Quick, quick, I want to grab them! Hurry, I want to get them before anyone notices...]
But Yun Duo held the phone, which was already hot.
Qiaoqiao calmly walked ahead, deftly placing the cucumbers onto the tricycle, not paying attention to the chat.
The crowd: ...
Alright, alright, ignoring us again, huh? Just wait to see where you send your stuff.
But just as they said this sharply, Yun Duo’s voice ca through:
"Ah, the phone is too hot, and the battery is dead, let’s end the stream now."
The next mont, the livestream went black.
The crowd: ...
No, where are my cucumbers? Who did you sell them to?!
After a bit of chaos, everyone cald down again.
They weren’t anxious, they were confident, they even discussed in the group, and finally, they chatted away happily.
According to normal progress, once the cucumbers are harvested, packing orders comnce.
When the orders are printed, oh, no order!
Then the link will appear.
Everyone started discussing how the new assistant wasn’t reliable...
[Deduct her salary.]
[In this hot weather, the girl is in the field every day, deducting her salary is too harsh—make sure she speaks well for us next ti and sells another basket]
[Makes sense, and can we add her as a friend? If there are any freebies, can she resell them to ]
[Wow, think she’s clever? So am I]
The fans went back to happily boasting and joking.
But waiting and waiting.
An hour passed, how co no one contacted them?
...
In fact, when it’s hot, these fruits and vegetables need pre-cooling treatnt, but because these cucumbers are small in quantity, they didn’t use vacuum pre-cooling; instead, they are placed in plastic baskets in a cold storage room with cold air blowing.
This process must last two to three hours.
With ample ti, the total weight of the three baskets of cucumbers is only 200 pounds, which is negligible compared to Brother Xiaozhang’s daily order volu.
The paper boxes needed are large in quantity daily, and the villagers who had finished collecting sweet potato stems began sealing boxes again.
In no ti, the sound of tearing tape echoed throughout the factory.
Qiaoqiao doesn’t like hearing it, given that his task is complete, he took his phone and went back.
After charging for 1 hour, Brother Xiaozhang asked: "Another hour before loading, right? Are the shipnt labels ready? I’ll stick them now."
Shipping to the Qiao Family has this advantage, everyone has the sa weight, it can be packed in advance, without identifying who is who, no worries of mistakes.
Yun Duo responded, opened the backend, then suddenly rembered:
Wait, did they list them this morning? Why didn’t anyone go crazy grabbing them, or the complaints from those who didn’t snag them?
Going through the morning’s process again...
Yun Duo: ...!!!
She was busy talking about Daxiong and forgot to put up the link!!!
Oh my, why is she always making these mistakes early in her career?
Returning to the group chat, there were countless people @ing her, the assistant.
The group chat stacked thousands of ssages, witnessing everyone’s laughter, jokes, preparation, fruitless preparation, panic, urging... the entire communal process.
Oh the misery! Why were they toying with the fans’ hearts?
In a hurry, she called Song Tan and explained the situation, truly feeling terribly guilty.
Even though the cucumbers will sell eventually, it greatly affects the fans’ experience.
Song Tan didn’t expect this either!
She had no choice but to and: "Then inform Qiaoqiao, get him to do a livestream apology, and then put up the link."
"By the way, also take everyone to see Daxiong—the children of Daxiong."
