Xu Lai had considered these issues, but the biggest problem at present was whether the villagers were willing to trust her and entrust her with selling their goods.
The two discussed for half an hour. Xu Lai planned to go back to her room to make the changes, but Zhao Qingyun pressed her shoulder and said, "Just make the changes here. I'll take a look when you're done."
She gave an "oh," pressed her finger on his mouse, and focused intently on making the changes.
After the revisions were completed, Zhao Qingyun reviewed them and, finding no major issues, asked, "So, what's the next step?"
Xu Lai thought for a moment and replied, "Let's go find the village chief first. After all, he has more prestige than me, so we need to persuade him to agree first."
Zhao Qingyun agreed, but there was another issue he didn't mention, which he felt Xu Lai should be able to consider.
After leaving the Jiang family's house, Xu Lai went straight to the village chief. Since the village chief didn't often stay at the village committee, she went directly to his house. Xu Lai knocked on the door, and it was the village chief's wife who opened the gate.
Seeing her come over at this time, she asked in surprise, "Xiao Lai, have you eaten yet? Want to grab something to eat together?"
Xu Lai naturally had no food; she was preoccupied with selling fruit and had no appetite.
But when faced with her aunt's answer, it became "I've already eaten." Xu Lai asked, "Is Uncle Guiping home? I need to talk to him about something."
Aunt Chunmei pulled her into the house and said, "I'm here, come in and sit down."
Xu Lai followed her inside. Gui Ping's youngest son and daughter-in-law were also at home. When they saw Xu Lai coming over, Zheng Yuan greeted her.
Xu Lai had no impression of her, having only met her once on their wedding day.
Liu Guiping quickly finished his meal and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Xu Lai waved the USB drive in her hand and asked, "Do you have a computer at home? The contents are all in here."
Uncle Guiping scratched his head and said, "I don't think we have one at home, but the village committee has one. I'll take you there."
Zheng Yuan stood up and said, "Dad, I have some, I'll get it for you."
Xu Lai explained the advantages and disadvantages of e-commerce in detail and made the plan clear to the village chief. Liu Guiping was a little worried: "Will this work? If it goes wrong, the villagers won't let it go."
“Uncle, I’ve thought about all these problems, but this method is better than the villagers’ hard work growing fruit that ends up stuck in their hands, right?” Xu Lai tried to persuade the village chief.
Zheng Yuan spoke up: "Dad, I think Sister Xu Lai's idea is very good."
Xu Lai was surprised and gave her a grateful look. Liu Guiping was a little worried, but finally said, "Okay, I'll think about it and talk to the villagers about it later."
Xu Lai was about to go home when Zheng Yuan ran out to see her off. "No need to see me off, it's just a few steps."
Zheng Yuan grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Xu Lai, are you short-handed? I want to work with you. I've seen your video, and I think your idea is great."
Xu Lai asked in surprise, "You're not going to work anymore?"
Zheng Yuan said shyly, "As you know, we just got married and are planning to have a child."
"But can you guarantee that your body will be able to participate in the subsequent work?" Xu Lai asked.
Zheng Yuan remained silent for a while before saying, "I hope I can help you this time, okay?"
Xu Lai nodded: "Sure, if there's a chance, I hope you can stay. How about this, starting tomorrow, come over whenever you have time and film me, okay?"
Zheng Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."
The next day, Xu Lai got up, put on some light makeup, changed into an outfit that matched Taoyuan, and called Zheng Yuan to go shoot a promotional video.
Yesterday she filmed a video of picking vegetables, and someone in the comments section asked if she was selling peaches. Xu Lai replied: Yes, I will sell them, but you'll have to wait a few days.
She carried a basket on her back, and someone was filming her. She no longer had to adjust the camera every time she changed scenes.
The sun was quite strong, so Xu Lai wore a straw hat and picked peaches one by one along the path in the peach orchard. Zheng Yuan specially zoomed in on the peaches so that netizens could see their quality more clearly.
Xu Lai picked half of the peaches, then picked one, wiped it on her clothes, and took a bite.
After filming the video, the basket was full. This peach orchard belonged to Xu Lai's cousin's family, and their family and her family shared the same ancestor.
Xu Lai greeted him, took out a printed plan, and tried to get him to agree to sell peaches via livestream.
Xu Shen didn't make money by selling fruit; he just wanted to protect the few acres of land left by his grandfather. He readily agreed, "Anyway, we can't sell much each year. If you're willing to do it, I'll work with you. It doesn't matter whether we make money or not."
Xu Lai: "Brother, thank you for your support."
Liu Guiping visited several families with orchards, and most of them agreed out of respect for him. However, there was one family, an old woman, who absolutely refused to agree.
Liu Guiping wiped his sweat and advised, "Auntie, peaches aren't selling well right now, what are you keeping them for?"
Aunt Juying picked up a broom and yelled at the village chief, "I won't agree to this! I know nothing about online shopping or e-commerce. Don't come here again!"
Xu Lai listened to Uncle Guiping's words and remained silent for a while. After considering it, she said, "How about I go and talk to him?"
Liu Guiping stopped her: "Xiao Lai, be careful. She has a very strange temper. She wasn't like this before. Ever since her granddaughter choked on a peach, her daughter-in-law has been blaming her. The whole family moved away, and she's been acting strangely ever since..."
Xu Lai sighed. What could she do? She still had to go, otherwise Grandma Juying's peaches would be wasted.
She carried some tonics, knocked on the door, and He Juying, seeing that it was a young girl, didn't say anything unpleasant and stepped aside to let her in.
Xu Lai got straight to the point: "Grandma, you have so many peach trees."
Liu Juying nodded and said with some pride, "These were all planted by my husband when he was young. Back then, we supported our two children on these few acres of land."
Xu Lai chimed in, "That's really amazing."
“Grandma, it’s like this, these peaches aren’t selling well in the market, and it’s a waste to let so many rot on the tree. Besides, you’re getting old, so I thought I’d help everyone sell peaches, and I won’t take a penny of the money.”
Liu Juying's expression changed, but she didn't chase her away. She only said, "I won't sell."
Xu Lai took a peach, tasted it, and said, "This peach is really delicious. I wish people from all over the country could eat it."
Liu Juying was stunned and asked, "Can you really make sure everyone can eat?"
Xu Lai didn't dare to make a guarantee, but she assured him, "I can't say that everyone can eat it, but anyone who wants to eat it can buy it."
Liu Juying's hands trembled slightly. She sat in the chair, as if she had no strength left, and said, "Give me the contract, I'll sign it."
After receiving the contract, Xu Lai said, "Grandma, if your granddaughter sees the live stream and knows that these are peaches from our hometown, she might buy some to try."
