Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 2005 - 1759: Baiyu County’s Discussion

Yan Ran and the others set up the equipment, adjusted the devices, and then, dripping with sweat, arrived at the Village Department.

The room that had been specially cleared out was cooled by the air conditioning, making goosebumps rise on their arms.

Tai Xiaodong asked, "While we're selling grapes here, what about the peaches at home?"

Song Tan was a bit puzzled: "Didn't Brother Xiaozhang take them all yesterday afternoon? Boss Chang wanted them, and someone will be arranged to pick them at dawn."

The peach harvest season lasts a long time; we can keep adding some periodically, steady and continuous, no problem.

Tai Xiaodong was annoyed: "I was thinking about when I can snatch some online myself..."

Peaches are delicious! They're also rare in that they're easy to transport, just right for letting family taste them and knowing their agricultural efforts aren't in vain.

Song Tan laughed: "You may not be able to snatch any online, so don't take a spot—how about this, you all are on a field assignment this time, I won't give the bonus, but three boxes of peaches, five pounds each. Are you willing?"

Whoa!

Such a good deal! Who wouldn't be willing?

Not just Tai Xiaodong, Qi Lin and Yan Ran were also nodding eagerly.

Besides, even Qi Lin, who now has the poorest family conditions, doesn't need money that much anymore.

After all, with room and board included every month, and a salary of eight thousand in hand, there's really nowhere to spend it!

The only major expense was renting a house for Qi Lin's grandpa and leasing a piece of land.

But that money, ever since the old man started growing vegetables, he happily gave back to his grandson, and now he walks with a spring in his step, just waiting for the right opportunity to raise a flock of sheep!

Calculating it like this, after just over half a year, they've saved up quite a few tens of thousands in salary.

Plus, they receive an allowance for field assignments, up to two thousand, maybe? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

But just those three boxes of peaches, if they wanted to sell, with patience, they could naturally find someone on a fish platform willing to buy at a high price.

Of course, no one would actually sell them—after all, there's always Top Brother in the village ready to take them!

In any case, the boss has become increasingly generous, and everyone is happy.

Meanwhile, in Baiyu County, a few big orchard owners have picked several bunches of full and perfect Sunshine Rose grapes, rummaging for a delicate white porcelain plate to serve them on.

Freshly washed grapes glisten, making them irresistible to the eye.

The village secretary's face, sunburnt to a blackish-red, busily yet nervously arranged everything:

"Try them, everyone, our grapes are really good, selling them cheap is really too much of a loss..."

If nothing else, just look at the controlled yield to ensure quality.

Sunshine Rose grapes at three yuan a pound on the market have a yield of four thousand easily per acre.

And us?

Our yield is definitely no more than two thousand pounds per acre.

Such a gap, if in the end, they all fall to the same price, it would simply shatter everyone's spirits.

Lun Chuan stood up: "Please, sit down as well; we can't delay with these grapes here. Let's try them first, and discuss matters on the spot, there's no need to hold back."

That's good! That's good!

The anxious secretary, watching his fair and noble handsome face, seemed to calm down.

So he sat down calmly, watching everyone with eager anticipation.

Seeing everyone still, Song Tan took the lead and popped a grape into his mouth.

Yan Ran, however, picked up the entire bunch in front of him, weighed it with his hand, and casually placed it on the prepared scale beside him—three pounds and one ounce.

"The flesh is dense, judging by the weight the texture is also solid, the appearance is good, from the top to the bottom there's no condition of some being overripe and some underripe, the grains are full and round, free of blemishes or traces of insects and birds..."

Tai Xiaodong also picked a grape to taste, and at this moment his eyebrows raised: "They weren't exaggerating, the taste is really nice, not much different from what the teacher brought us to eat last year."

Upon hearing this, the village secretary immediately perked up: "These are premium grapes of ours, hardly matched by others!"

What the teacher brought for students surely wouldn't compare! The secretary had heard too much of this price-suppressing rhetoric recently, it had become a reflex.

And at that moment, Qiaoqiao, also with his mouth full of grapes, looked over:

"Uncle, don't worry, I need to eat a few more before I can tell you if they're good or not."

He spoke with innocence, yet his eyes were bright.

The confused secretary didn't ponder too much about this incongruent contrast, just observing them—seeing Lun Chuan and the others, each looked like they could be a big-earning internet celebrity, he couldn't even tell who was leading.

Such good grapes, Song Tan only ate one before losing interest, and instead asked Lun Chuan: "Are they good?"
