Chapter 56: 56. Courier guy ecstatic_1

After sending off Zhou Maozhu, just as Wang Lifan hurried over to make breakfast, she fed the chopped milk vetch to the ducklings that had just arrived home yesterday.

The fluffy, chubby ducklings weren’t a bit shy or annoyed by the change of environment; instead, they were lively and hasty. Seeing that food was available, they flapped their wings and wiggled their tails as they rushed over, bouncing on top of each other to compete for food.

Their tender “quack quack” sounds were particularly adorable.

This sight made Wang Lifan’s face crease into a blooming smile:

“Eat up, eat up! This is feed that costs twenty yuan per jin! If those two fields hadn’t been used to feed the cows, it wouldn’t have been your turn to eat this…”

As she spoke, she scattered the leaves from the basin into their small enclosed space.

...

Meanwhile, she peeked inside the house—why was there no movement? Why hadn’t her son come out to do chores?

The old lady thought about how everyone had gone up the mountain to pick tea leaves. Being slow and falling behind made her anxious on the inside.

By the time the dumplings were cooked and the green vegetable pancakes were ready, even Song Tan and the rest had returned, yet Song Sancheng still hadn’t come out of his room, which annoyed Wang Lifan immensely:

“What are you doing at home? Everyone’s been busy as tops since early this morning. Why are you still holed up inside?”

Song Sancheng finally came out of his room, reluctant to part with the tea leaves— they were too good, but there wasn’t a big enough freezer at home. After moving things around, not only was there no space in the fridge, but he also couldn’t fit back the items that were originally inside.

At this moment, the house was still a mess.

Now that his mother had called him out, and seeing the mud on his wife Wu Lan’s feet and the dew on her pants, he guiltily held a cup of green, fragrant tea and offered it as if revealing a treasure:

“Look at this tea, how fragrant, how sweet!”

Wu Lan declined the offer with thanks, as she didn’t care for tea..

However, just as she was about to refuse, the unique aroma wafted through the air, making her change her tune, “Let me try.”

Then she took a big gulp, a sight that made Song Sancheng’s forehead twitch, his pain and reluctance unable to be concealed.

But Wu Lan didn’t notice anything; instead, she pretended to be a connoisseur:

“Not bad, not bad at all. The tea is fragrant and refreshing, a little bitter at first, but then a sweet taste spreads from the throat. It’s pretty good— how much will we sell this for?”

She tilted her head back and took another big gulp, finishing the cup of tea.

After all, she had been to the field early in the morning and had to drink a lot when she returned.

Wu Lan’s brutish way of consuming the tea made Song Sancheng’s eyelids twitch.

Song Tan, however, checked the time, “No rush— Mom, you go ahead and eat with Qiaoqiao. I’ll sort out all the orders first, and then take them straight to town later.”

The tea leaves weren’t going anywhere; there was no rush to taste them.

Instead, with the sun being warm these past days, she needed to sell the vegetables quickly before it got hot. Otherwise, once the sun shone, their appearance wouldn’t be as nice.

Her phone had added quite a few new friends last night and received several new orders, and with the small team from the vegetable market, today Little Pika would be packed full.

Luckily, the one hundred jin she was sending out of town didn’t need to be bundled, saving her a lot of effort. For this, Song Tan even generously added five more jin to cover any losses.

By that calculation, the morning was far too busy!

…

Bright and early, Wind Speed Express in Qingxi Town was already open and waiting.

The owner, named Zhang Hua, was only twenty-five this year. He had invested all his money earned from working to open this Wind Speed Express franchise, thinking that being the only one in town, it couldn’t possibly do too badly.

He forgot that with the aging population in the village and towns, there are few young people living around here. With the courier fees starting at twenty yuan, people are even more reluctant to spend.

After struggling for two years, he barely managed not to lose money.

In the current challenging environment, he had even decided that if there was no improvement this year, he would simply go work in a factory next year.

Screwing bolts would have more prospects than entrepreneurship!

Who knew that his luck would turn now!

Zhang Hua counted his packing boxes, dry ice bags, and bubble columns for the Nth time while praying in his heart, “Dear God, please let that girl have a lot of orders! I haven’t had such a good start in two years!”

Just then, a car stopped at the door, and Zhang Hua’s heart skipped a beat; he hurried out and, sure enough, saw the familiar pickup truck!

And the person who was handing down baskets from the back.

“Sister, are these the two baskets?”

Song Qiao picked up the heavy baskets and carefully handed them down.

Song Tan was checking her phone; without even lifting her head, she stretched out an arm to catch the baskets and then set them down firmly.

Zhang Hua watched in fear—those baskets of vegetables were not light!

Song Tan confirmed the order again:

“There are a total of 52 orders, all in Ning Province; the weight of each order varies, adding up to a total of 156 jin—here, we’ve weighed them out, each measure one jin and two liangs. The two liangs are for loss.”

Then she moved her hands and sent all the address records over: “Boss, you said last time you’d give me a discount for picking up fifty orders. Now you don’t have to pick them up, so the discount should be bigger, right?”

Zhang Hua was already ecstatic.

He nodded enthusiastically: “Definitely a discount, definitely a discount!”

But then he started to worry: “If they were all small parcels, it would be no problem to give you a thirty percent discount, but many of these are overweight, so the specific shipping cost still needs to be calculated…”

Indeed, the largest order was for ten jin at once.

He would have to figure out if he needed to divide it into several packages…

Song Tan understood as well: “There’s no rush to settle accounts. In addition to what was left over last time, I’ll transfer another thousand to you. These goods must be shipped out today, and there can be no loss during packaging. I’ll come back at noon from the city center, and we can settle the account in detail. What do you think?”

Although she was straightforward, she did not intend to be taken for a fool. To prevent the courier from getting carried away, Song Tan added another sentence:

“Of course, if the discount you offer isn’t attractive enough, I go to the city center every day. It would be more efficient for me to find someone there to ship the goods.”

Zhang Hua’s heart jumped again: “Don’t worry, our company has certain subsidies for agricultural products shipped from rural towns. If you’re not in a hurry, after the goods are dispatched this afternoon, I’ll come directly to your house. This way, I can calculate the charges in detail and, if someday you need me to pick up the goods, I can also familiarize myself with the route… How does that sound?”

The young man has promise!

Isn’t that what business needs—a smart person?

Song Tan nodded: “Okay! It’s settled then!”

She then looked outside at the weather: “Qiaoqiao, cover the rest with the straw mat, it’s time for us to head to the bus station.”

Their arrangement with the freight driver was to meet near the bus station. It seems he was a relative of the customer, so he had specially instructed them that there was no need for packaging; they could just deliver it directly.

Song Tan sighed—indeed, wholesale was less hassle.

Especially since her wholesale prices were not cheap.
