Chapter 129: 129. Nursery Owner Three Brothers_1
Song Tan was standing on the big truck at the moment, helping to unload the goods.
The two thousand saplings were no small number, especially since Zhang Yanping had chosen good ones. They were not just straight stems; they had been grafted and further developed through branch splitting and branch pressing. At the moment, they looked imposing, with a tangled growth of branches stretching out in all directions.
Such saplings, once planted, as long as the follow-up care was sufficient, could bear a heavy harvest within the year.
Accordingly, they also took up a lot of space.
If it weren’t for the seller’s years of experience in packaging and pruning, a single truck might truly have not been enough to fit everything.
Even though a 30 percent deposit had already been paid, the boss still brought two trustworthy brothers because of the remote location.
Three burly men had delivered the goods and before they could even demonstrate that they weren’t to be messed with, they started vomiting a flood —
It was really because the unfamiliar mountain roads had so many twists and bends that as they drove their big truck along the village roads, they were constantly anxious and terrified. Their driving was as slow as a snail, but that didn’t help against the sudden stops and starts… they couldn’t take it!
The poor lads were suffering!
“Oh dear, I’m so sorry.”
Song Tan hadn’t expected them to vomit so badly; she instructed Zhang Yanping to help them find a place to wash up and at the same time arranged for Qiaoqiao to prepare a cup with not much in it, just a spoonful of honey for Qianqian.
Hot water was poured in slowly to dissolve it, and when the three men had recovered a bit, the water was handed over—
Just great!
The honey water, warm and sweet, seemed to soothe them from their throats to their stomachs, and it felt as if their entire beings were being calmed inside and out.
After gulping down his drink, the sapling seller smacked his lips, looking reluctantly and asked, “Is there any more?”
“Yes.” Qiaoqiao came over with a thermos, then refilled a cup of warm water for each person.
Everyone: …
This time when they drank, the sweet taste in their mouths had dissipated somewhat, but it was as if there was still a hint of sweet fragrance lingering on their lips and teeth.
Looking at the jars of honey that hadn’t yet been put away in the courtyard, their own orchard also had good honey, but at that moment, they were still tempted by the taste.
“Miss, is this honey harvested by your own bees? How much is it? I’ll take a pound,” one of them said.
Song Tan had just finished inspecting the saplings on the truck.
The seller was right; they were indeed late-maturing varieties, and at this time of the year, they had just begun to sprout tiny, unshed brown buds and leaves.
The freshness was just as the boss had said; they must have been dug up that morning and bound for transport. They had arrived here, guaranteed within a day.
Considering that they were already beginning to bud, the roots were also packed with moist clumps of soil.
The transaction Zhang Yanping had made was indeed worthwhile.
But normally, in such a case, the first year’s yield would definitely decline, but in the hands of Song Tan…
At that moment, Song Tan had entered into the daydreams of a cash cow.
Qiaoqiao couldn’t wait to answer the inquiry, “A thousand bucks a pound.”
What in the world? A thousand per pound for honey?!
The three big fellas were stunned, then they finished the water in their cups, exchanged glances, and pretended they didn’t hear that.
However, Song Tan had just spent over a hundred thousand on this batch of peach saplings, so how could she let them go so easily?
Then, Qiaoqiao took the cups and swapped them for a kettle of boiling water, carefully placing two tea leaves in each cup.
Really, two leaves.
The nursery owner saw it with his own eyes; he counted them one by one.
As the hot water brewed, the fresh aroma of the tea leaves filled and drifted through the air. With just a light sniff, the three felt as if their minds had been cleansed and refreshed. The dizzying effects from the bumpy mountain ride seemed to clear up quite a bit!
How should one say it? The honey went down soothing the stomach, and the scent of the tea made the mind clear!
“Great tea!”
Three burly men praised in unison.
Then they couldn’t help but ask, “How much does this tea sell for? Is it also from your own family?”
Most likely it was their own, because it was taken out of the living room freezer, wrapped up in layers with a big plastic bag.
Qiaoqiao answered loudly, “Eleven thousand per pound.”
Nursery owner: …
The product was really good, but the price seemed a little unreasonable!
Looking at Qiaoqiao, who seemed a bit different from other normal boys, he couldn’t help but walk to the gate and shout to Song Tan, who was tallying goods on the truck:
“Young lady, how exactly are you selling this tea and honey?”
Song Tan didn’t even lift her head, “Just the price my brother mentioned.”

What a joke, the customers were already at the doorstep; how could she let them leave empty-handed?
After she responded to the question, she put the matter aside and then called over to Song Sancheng to get the bundles of peach trees onto her Little Pika truck.
The road on the back hill was rough; big trucks simply couldn’t make it through, so she had to rely on this method of transport.
Zhang Yanping’s eyes twinkled, “I don’t understand fruit trees, Tan Tan, why don’t you go with the folks and check the quality? I think these bosses seem pretty wealthy, see if you can sell them something else?”
Anyway, he was done with digging for shoots; whether it was breaking or digging shoots, both were quite tiring.
Better stick to selling stuff, he was good at that at least.
Song Tan had only to glance at the quality and quantity of the trees to have a rough idea in her mind, and what’s more, with ten trees per bundle, counting two thousand peach trees was quite easy.
So, she promptly transferred the payment:
“Boss, worthy of Brother Yanping’s recommendation, your saplings are indeed excellent.”
The nursery owner sat waiting for the transaction to complete, feeling relieved, then gave her a thumbs up, “Straightforward.”
He also began to help unload the goods and whispered to his two brothers, “We worried for nothing. The girl is quite straightforward; once the unloading is done, we’ll leave.”
The youngest brother in charge of driving made a sour face:
“Big brother, let’s sit for a bit longer; the road is really tough, let me take a break.”
With their large truck, one side against a mountain and one side a steep slope, getting here was stressful, a half-hour journey through the villages that was difficult to endure without anxiety.
The eldest brother’s face twitched, then he said in a low voice, “Look at the sky; if we don’t leave now, it’ll be dark soon, and this stretch will be even harder to navigate.”
The usually silent second brother muttered, “But big brother, their tea is so good. I want him to refill my cup a couple more times.”
Speaking of the tea, the nursery owner also kept quiet.
After a while, he angrily threw down a bundle of saplings, “This family is so stingy! Why just one leaf per cup? I didn’t even charge for shipping!”
The younger brother glanced at him, “If I sold tea for ten thousand a pound, I wouldn’t even give you a single leaf; I’d just let you look.”
The eldest brother: …
This vexing relative.
With such a business sense, would the nursery have done well all these years without him?
But as naive as they might be, both were honest people. He had no choice but to swallow his pride, and then suddenly he climbed down from the truck, resentful:
“Buddy, brew me a proper cup of that tea, and after I taste, I’ll decide whether to buy or not.”
Before Qiaoqiao could respond, Zhang Yanping already replied cheerfully.
“Ah, boss, you really have an eye for quality. Nowadays, all our tea customers are repeat customers; we don’t even sell to just anyone! Come on, where’s your cup? I’ll brew it directly in there for you!”
The other two brothers objected, “We want some too.”
Though the eldest brother was the boss, the nursery had three bosses, and it wouldn’t be fair to serve just one cup, right?
