Chapter 359 Paying for Your Own Choice
I can relate to this. Back then, my father and I went to the countryside to harvest corn, and they mixed half a bag of moldy corn into the corn. In the end, we had to bear all the losses ourselves.
Song Zhiyuan locked his gaze on the two of them. "Your cilantro has been soaked in water, right? You just took it out of the water before selling it here."
The two villagers originally thought that Song Zhiyuan was just an amateur who came here to resell coriander, and he couldn't tell that it was soaked in water.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhiyuan saw through it.
Yesterday, when they brought the coriander back to the internet celebrity to sell, since the live broadcast venue at the internet celebrity's home was not big enough, they just left it in the yard for a while. Who knew that in just that short while, the coriander would become a little wilted.
They thought there would be no problem if the internet celebrities could pack up the products immediately after selling them.
Who knew that after working on it for an entire afternoon and night, the internet celebrity only sold one piece, and their coriander was still there and was not kept properly.
In this way, even if they sell it to Song Zhiyuan, Song Zhiyuan may not buy it. He will also greatly reduce the weight and simply soak the coriander in water to make it fresh again.
Song Zhiyuan put the coriander in her hand back into the basket. "Coriander soaked in water will rot if it lasts more than a day, so I can't collect this coriander. You can take it back."
Xiao Zhang felt at the time that they had gone back on their word and shouldn't have accepted their coriander. Now that they were bringing trouble upon themselves and had caused problems with the coriander, he couldn't blame anyone.
As soon as Song Zhiyuan finished speaking, Xiao Zhang and Cheng Yuhan quickly took the coriander off the scale.
【At first I thought they were just trying to sell it for more money, but now it seems they are just bad.】
Fortunately, the newbie was careful. If he hadn't noticed the problem with this batch of cilantro, he might have packed it up and sent it to consumers, which would have caused Sister Song a greater loss.
[I've tried it before, and soaking in water can indeed restore the freshness of vegetables in a short period of time. However, if you soak them for a little longer, they will develop an unpleasant smell.]
They were truly wicked. Not only were they ungrateful, but when their cilantro was unsaleable and about to rot in the fields, Sister Song, who had helped them, was actually full of schemes against her.
[Sister Song is collecting coriander this time under the guise of charity. Why can she collect other people's coriander but not hers? Sister Song is really hypocritical.]
[Since Sister Song is helping farmers, she should treat everyone equally.]
[Sister Song is helping farmers, not simply showing her love. Sister Song has no reason to pay for the mistakes made by others.]
[Since you haters are saying Sister Song is hypocritical and heartless, then why don't you buy all this cilantro? We can help you with the postage.]
Seeing the coriander being carried down, the two villagers immediately chased to Song Zhiyuan and blocked his way. When there was no smile on their faces, which were already fat, they looked a little ferocious.
Song Zhiwei, who was helping to load the truck, saw what was happening and immediately ran forward, blocking Song Zhiyuan and saying fiercely, "What do you mean by this? Do you want to hit anyone?"
"I'm telling you, if you dare to hit anyone, I will never let you off easily."
[I like Song Zhiwei more and more, this little lion who protects his sister. He always appears in front of Sister Song at the most critical moment.]
If Song Zhiyuan doesn't accept it, these corianders will never be sold.
They have also been soaked in water and cannot be stored for long periods of time.
The two villagers immediately raised their hands and took a step back, keeping a safe distance from Song Zhiyuan. "Don't misunderstand me, we will never do anything."
There are so many people at the scene, and they will be the ones who suffer if they take action.
"Little girl, could you please be flexible and accept these corianders? It's okay even if you lower the price a bit." The villagers looked at Song Zhiyuan eagerly.
Song Zhiyuan walked out from behind Song Zhiwei and said, "I won't accept it, not because I want to deliberately lower your price.
I believe you all know that soaked coriander cannot be kept for a long time. Not only will it change its taste, but it will also rot. The coriander we sell is sold to several neighboring provinces and cities. Even if the logistics is fast, it will take two to three days to reach their hands.
By the time they got their hands, the coriander would have definitely rotted.
This is not only irresponsible to consumers, but also damages the reputation of our Jiujiang Town. In the future, Jiujiang Town’s agricultural products are bound to leave a bad impression in people’s minds.
If the problem can be solved simply by lowering the price, there is no way I won’t help you solve it.”
[Sister Song is right. We must be responsible to consumers for the products that enter the market.]
[Now I'm thinking of selling it at a lower price. What was I doing in the first place?]
[It's like greed is insatiable. When the price was 60 cents, they didn't know how to cherish it. Now, even if it's 30 cents, no one will buy it.]
Hearing this, the light in the villagers' eyes gradually dimmed. "Just consider it as a favor. My child's tuition for the second half of the year depends entirely on the coriander grown in the fields. Now not only is the price not high enough, but there's no harvest at all. I really don't know how to pay for the tuition for the second half of the year."
[They're so pitiful, so why not just lower the price and accept it, Sister Song? Just think of it as helping them.]
[A hemp rope breaks at its thinnest point. They're truly pathetic. Song Zhiyuan often markets herself as a philanthropist. Now, consider it a philanthropic endeavor. Helping them collect the money won't cost much, but it would ruin the philanthropic image she's been promoting.]
[They say it sounds good, but who knows that the cilantro they give to consumers is definitely good cilantro that has not been soaked in water.]
When did Sister Song ever promote her public welfare image? She was just quietly doing public welfare work. It was you haters who helped Sister Song become popular, and now you are turning the tables on her. This is really eye-opening.
[Sister Song feels pity for them, but who will pity Sister Song, the resentful person? Once this kind of thing starts, the people who follow will only go even further.]
[Who knows if this was just a lie made up to sell cilantro, or to gain public sympathy.]
I knew it was fake the moment I heard it. My family lives in the town next to Jiujiang Town, which has been developing quite well in recent years. Local residents often work outside when they don't have farm work to do. If they really want to pay for their children's tuition, a month of work would cost more than begging Sister Song to buy this little bit of cilantro, which doesn't fetch much.
[I don't believe it either. A few hundred yuan can pay for tuition, but it's not even enough for textbooks. It's obviously just a trick to deceive people.]
[Since you haters are so kindhearted, why not just pay their children's tuition?]
Song Zhiyuan usually does some charity work, and feels sorry for the villagers who can't get a good price for their coriander.
But she has her own principles.
“We all pay for our own choices.
If you didn't soak your cilantro to restore its freshness, I might be able to help you with it, but I really can't do anything about it now."
