Chapter 484: 484. Monthly sales 16_1 Chapter 484: 484. Monthly sales 16_1 Song Tan said so himself!
Moreover, if he wasn’t completely sure, how could Doctor Guo, who’s so thrifty with renting his house, dare to say he’d take all the Golden Sakura trees in the courtyard!
“If you don’t believe it, I’ll recommend the doctor’s WeChat to you later!”
He was considerate even at this moment, fearing they’d have trouble saving face, and added, “After all, we’re both not in perfect health, and it’s not just about nourishing our bodies. Our doctor is also very good at conditioning the body. It can’t hurt to ask…”
The two murmured for a while.
Seeing that the WeChat exchange had gone smoothly, the other party cleared his throat and his gaze shifted left and right.
Zhang Yanping immediately understood and then casually suggested, “How about some tea? The tea we fry ourselves has a really good reputation–come on, let’s brew a couple of cups!”
Taking advantage of this diversion, the other indeed gave him a knowing look and then casually started inspecting the living room decor again.
While the tea was brewing, another person strolled over, seemingly to look at the tea leaves, yet his eyes didn’t actually drift to the leaves–
Otherwise, with Zhang Yanping’s experience, seeing those leaves would certainly provoke some sort of reaction…
The person casually whispered, “Is the medicine you just mentioned really that miraculous?”
In that moment, Zhang Yanping instantly understood–
This, is the middle-aged man!
Meanwhile, in the clinic.
Doctor Guo was busy decocting medicine, too occupied to check his phone. When he picked it up later, he found two new friends and a stream of messages from Zhang Yanping–
[Doctor Guo, I introduced two clients to you!]
[I mean, it took some smooth talking to make them believe in you.]
[If I come across clients like these in the future, should I refer them or not? It’s such a hassle.]
[Ah well, we’re practically fellow villagers now, so I won’t mention money. It’d be too awkward.]
[Tantan is so thoughtful. I even get a commission for promoting fishing services to people in the summer on her behalf.]
[I don’t mean anything by it, mainly it’s about the initiative and motivation… You know what I mean?]
Just take the commission, why beat around the bush so much!
Hmph, you were reluctant to try medicine before, weren’t you? Look at how your value has increased now.
So she also took out her phone and typed back rapidly:
[You haven’t even tried my products, and you dare to recommend them ? Have some professional ethics–why don’t you buy one to try first? I’ll give you a discount!]
On the other hand, the inspectors, who had shifted their thoughts away from the miraculous tonic, finally focused their gaze on the glass cups in their hands.
The first thing that caught their eye were the few clearly old leaves wobbling at the bottom of the cup.
There were even two yellow ones!
That was pretty outrageous, wasn’t it? Even under normal social circumstances, you couldn’t serve this even if there wasn’t tea at home!
The two unconsciously furrowed their brows.
However, the next moment, as the ripples spread on the water, a fresh scent of tea leaves instantly filled the air, compelling them to take a deep breath involuntarily, and then they exclaimed, “Good tea!”
Zhang Yanping was overjoyed, and now settled on the sofa, pulling out his phone and showing off Peach Treasure Shop’s sales:
“This is our signature tea! Don’t believe me, ask Boss Qian. The good tea that Boss Wu keeps praising is this one!”
Boss Qian, who had just strolled in from outside: …Ah?
He was also belatedly aware as he fished a tea cup out of his pocket, twisted open the lid, and the water was still a bit hot, but the fragrance that hit his face was even more intense.
So he couldn’t help but nod, “Right, right, right, Boss Wu keeps going on about it, I have to take two pounds of this tea when I leave! Ah, if only the strip-shaped leaves looked a bit nicer, then it could even be given as a gift…”
“Giving it as a gift is great!”
Zhang Yanping slapped his thigh, “Boss Qian, don’t get me wrong. This tea is for our own use. After all, it’s just too expensive and in too high demand. We can barely keep it in stock, so we didn’t dare to drink it.”
“If you really want to buy, we have some that are especially nice looking. Wait till I get it for you to see.”
–Is this what a businessman says?
Boss Qian fell silent too.
That is to say, when the spring tea enters the market, wherever you go asking to see tea at any tea shop, which owner wouldn’t set out three, five, seven, eight cups for you to taste one after another!
And you, when someone comes to your door, you give them this kind of tea to drink, aren’t you looking down on people?
What he didn’t know, was that Zhang Yanping was also feeling the pinch!
As summer came, the tea production dropped off, and the leaves even developed a slight bitterness. Although this bitterness made the tea’s flavor more enduring, Song Tan became even more miserly–
Because after the peaches were harvested, the tea bushes on the hill would need pruning.
Only by waiting until autumn to grow back would there be the last batch of White Dew Tea.
With the current rate of sales, the inventory would definitely not last until the end of the year. That’s why visitors were not easily served that tea anymore.
However, this was for the best. In the past, whenever he made that tea, he would grind his teeth with regret, feeling like he had just wasted several dozen dollars. Now, brewing the kind of tea that everyone in the family drank was burden-free, and you could even take a cup with you when leaving!
It even made him appear more generous.
Anyway, at this moment, his lamenting about his poverty was earnest, “We really can’t keep up with the demand, we can’t even afford to drink it ourselves!”
After this talk, whether everyone believed it in their hearts or not, they felt somewhat more at ease.
Just then, the two inspection officials’ gaze sharpened as they saw the price on the Peach Treasure Shop page, and they subconsciously leaned forward, nearly sticking their faces onto Zhang Yanping’s phone!
“This price of yours, 50 yuan a gram…”
Both were incredulous.
Boss Qian’s hand holding the tea cup trembled.
He hurried over as well, now the three of them were fixated on that tiny screen, with Zhang Yanping’s sigh in their ears:
“Sigh! We were originally not selling in small amounts, purely to give back to customers! They loved the tea too much, and 10,000 yuan a pound was a bit steep…”
“But now, there are fewer buying these small amounts. Because everyone who’s tried it ends up bringing three to five friends to share a taste, and then they can buy a pound in a group order, which is more cost-effective.”
Overall, this 50 yuan seems more like an expensive trial.
But to Boss Qian’s ears, it was a bolt from the blue!
He too was familiar with online sales, and with a flick of his finger, he saw the monthly sales volume of this 50 yuan a gram tea had already exceeded 1000!
And it’s just the start of July!
Opening the shop page, the two staff members also saw the chili sauce–100 per bottle.
And the tea that cost 10,000 yuan a pound, the monthly sales volume was already at 16…
The three of them numbly raised their heads, and the tea they were holding seemed so pure and adorable, even the yellow leaves inside.
But Boss Qian bounced back, now with a desperate gaze fixated on the plate of green peaches still dewy with water:
“So, these peaches…what price do you plan to sell them at?”
