Zhang Xuehan was full of excitement, "They’re all sold out!"
"That fast!" Ye Wanwan was also surprised, it had only been about half an hour in total.
"Shocked, huh? I can’t believe it either!" Zhang Xuehan’s face was also uncontrollable joy, hardly able to believe they could sell the strawberries so smoothly, especially since the street had been empty, and they thought they wouldn’t be able to sell any today!
Soon, Su Tong and Zhao Yingling came back as well, with smiles they just couldn’t suppress.
Ye Wanwan was very curious, "How did it go so smoothly?"
Then Su Tong recounted their strawberry selling process, which was pretty much the same as Ye Wanwan’s experience.
First, because the strawberries weren’t too expensive to begin with and theirs were fresh, and second, some merchants wanted to feature them in live broadcasts, regardless of its effectiveness, just to get some advertising done.
After all, in the internet era, many young people enjoy exploring and checking into various places.
So their strawberries were sold easily just like that.
Su Tong opened the calculator on her phone, after deducting the money they owed to the strawberry farm owner, they had made six hundred yuan in this short time.
"It’s getting late, let’s go buy some groceries," Zhang Xuehan said.
"Sure, but I noticed earlier that there’s just one big supermarket here that sells vegetables when it’s not market day," Su Tong had observed more carefully.
"No problem, as long as there’s something to buy. If we can’t find what we need, we can go back to the village and buy from the villagers," Ye Wanwan said.
"Let’s go have a look first," Zhang Xuehan said.
So the group headed to the supermarket to check it out.
Indeed, the supermarket had vegetables for sale, but they were not fresh, having obviously been on the shelf for a while. As for the meat, it was all frozen.
They looked around and found that not only were the vegetables not fresh, but the meat had also been frozen for who knows how long. After discussing, they only picked some vegetables and bought some ribs.
"When we go back, we’ll return the car to the strawberry farm. On our way to the homestay, if we pass by any villagers’ homes, we can ask if they sell chicken or duck or something," Su Tong shared her plan.
Everyone agreed and that’s how they returned to the village.
They returned the car first and also paid back the capital for selling strawberries. Only then did Ye Wanwan and the rest leave.
As they passed by the villagers’ houses, they stopped to inquire and found only an old grandma at home. After some effortful communication, Ye Wanwan and her friends successfully bought some chickens.
Knowing they didn’t know how to process them, the grandma even offered to help with slaughtering the chickens and allowed them to pick vegetables from her field, any kind they wanted, for free!
Of course, Ye Wanwan and her group wouldn’t really leave without paying, after much persuading they left the money behind.
By the time they got back to the homestay, it was already past five. They had eaten very casually at noon, and now not only the children were hungry but the mothers were too.
"Xixi, you play with your brother and sister in the living room. Mommy and the aunties are going to cook, okay?" Su Tong said.
Wu Yaxi obediently agreed.
The mothers got busy in the kitchen, glancing towards the living room now and then to make sure the kids weren’t up to mischief, before continuing with cooking.
But suddenly, a sharp cry of "wah" came from the living room, ringing through the air with the child’s shrill wails.
