Chapter 139 Farmers' Aid Activities!
After the two looked at the contents of the bag, Pei Yanchuan carefully put the items away.
After Xu Wang sold out, the other groups gradually started to attract customers, and the stalls became lively.
When Yunxi first started selling, he was a little nervous and almost misquoted the price. But when he received his first payment, his eyes instantly turned into money. He felt a powerful force and courage rising within him, and he became more and more skilled at it.
Jiang Xiubai, who was in charge of weighing the goods, was not as fast as Yunxi, who was in charge of both receiving guests and collecting money.
The two had very little fruit, so it sold out quickly.
Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai's business is gradually getting on track. Most of their customers are young people who have come from afar, and they are also Gu Yunlan's fans who live nearby.
"Thank you so much for making the special trip for us," Qin Huai said, packing the fruit in his hands.
"Be careful on your way back." At this moment, Gu Yunlan was no longer the unreliable person he usually was. He had a polite smile on his lips and was very composed.
As the last fan left, they successfully bought all the fruit in the basket.
[Is this really our golden retriever, Actor Gu? (Stunning, folks!)]
[Gu Yingjun coughs lightly: Let me tell you a joke. I actually have a pretty heavy idol image to maintain.]
[If Gu Yingdi and his sister-in-law hadn't appeared on this variety show together, I really wouldn't have known that Gu Yingdi had the potential to be a comedic actor.]
[Ah, some ladies have already started sharing the fruit they bought! The quality is so good! Director, can't you just post the links? I can't buy it here, you always tell me to buy some online! (I want to eat it!)]
[I looked at the mango with black spots that I had just been holding, and I almost cried.]
[Don't even mention it, I just ordered a fruit platter for delivery. Not only was it expensive, but there was a worm in all the cut fruit! (Deathly smile)]
The director sat in his chair, deep in thought, watching the comments from fans in the live stream. "That's really a good idea," he thought. "Our variety show could also organize a program to help farmers. That way, not only could the fans enjoy high-quality fruit, but the villages wouldn't have to worry about their fruit spoiling and having nowhere to sell it. What a meaningful thing that would be!"
The director acted immediately, standing up, leaving the room, and gathering everyone for a meeting.
After seeing Xu Wang's sales pitch, Xia Yu tried to imitate him and it was quite effective. As soon as Xia Yu made her pitch once, some customers came to her shop.
Xia Yu has a very sweet tongue, which makes the grandpas and grandmas who are buying fruit smile from ear to ear. They can't stop talking to her, and everyone is extremely happy.
Hou Yunqi was also very thoughtful. He was worried that the elderly would get tired if they squatted down to pick out fruit, so he went to the shop next door to borrow a few small stools for them to sit on.
They chatted and sold their fruit, and soon they had sold out.
Leng Yifan and Zhong Ran's stalls were rather deserted. First, both of them had stiff faces, which deterred passersby. Second, even if someone asked about the price, Zhong Ran's high price of 10 yuan per jin made them turn around and leave. Before leaving, everyone couldn't help but complain that it was too expensive.
[You mean Duo Shao? Mangoes are 10 yuan a pound? Are their fruits different from the others?]
[What's the difference? They're all picked from the same orchard.]
[The other groups are selling it for 10 yuan for three jin (1.5 kg), why is he selling it for 10 yuan per jin? Couldn't he have paid a little attention to the prices at the surrounding fruit stalls?]
[I think he's treating this like a supermarket; these prices are only found in supermarkets.]
[Indeed, when I went to the supermarket last night, mangoes were 9.9 yuan per pound, which was 1 mao cheaper than this (laughing and crying at the same time)]
[My home is nearby. Mangoes are currently priced at a maximum of 5 yuan per jin (500g), but this is 10 yuan per jin. I can only say it will definitely be difficult to sell. Of course, if someone is determined to buy, then disregard what I said.]
Just as the comments in the live stream were scrolling rapidly, Zhong Ran finally welcomed his first customer, who was also a fan who had come all the way from another province.
The fan bought a lot, and Zhong Ran's face lit up with a smile again. He smiled and gave his fan a discount of 1 yuan per kilogram.
It's hard to say...
[Being a fan of Zhong Ran really doesn't bring any benefits; even the fruit they buy is more expensive than from other fan groups.]
[Xu Wang's price is 10 yuan for three jin, and he's even giving his fans a discount. His price is 10 yuan per jin, only 1 yuan cheaper. Do you think that's fair?]
[Maybe this is the emotional value of buying (scratching head).]
[I love grandmas who go to the market in the morning, and I launched a fierce吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism) attack from off-screen.]
When Xu Wang and his group returned to the village with the villagers, the sky had already turned orange.
The group returned to the village chief's house and put down their now-empty baskets.
Pei Yanchuan held a small bag tightly in his hand, reluctant to let go for even a moment.
"Thank you all for your hard work this afternoon, teachers. You can go back and get some rest now. For our viewers, today's live stream is coming to an end. See you at the same time tomorrow. Bye-bye." The director waved and smiled at the camera while holding the microphone.
Goodbye.
[See you tomorrow. ]
[Wow, so fast? It feels like it just happened!]
[Bye, isn't it a bit early today?]
Goodnight, my wife.
After the live broadcast ended, the director did not leave but walked up to Xu Wang and the others: "Teachers, please wait a moment. I would like to talk to you about tomorrow's recording. It's like this: because Qinghe Village is located in a relatively remote area, a lot of the fruit they grow with great effort every year rots and cannot be sold. So the production team wants to organize a rural agricultural assistance activity tomorrow."
"Tomorrow we will have 5 live streaming rooms. The live streaming rooms will feature links to the village's fruits. The production team will not take a single penny of the money from the sales. All the money will be given to the local villagers. What do you all think?"
“Yes, I’m very willing to participate. Helping farmers is a very meaningful thing.” Xu Wang was the first to raise his hand. He grew up in the village and had experienced times when crops were hard to sell. Some people might think, “It’s just a few bags of grain. You can keep them for yourself.” But the money from selling those few bags of grain could be a family’s living expenses or a child’s tuition.
Pei Yanchuan raised his hand without hesitation the very next second Xu Wang raised his.
“Count us in!” Xia Yu and Hou Yunqi also raised their hands.
"And us too, the fruit grown in the village is of excellent quality and tastes, it shouldn't be overlooked." Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai had already planned to buy more fruit with their own money when they left the village, and the director's suggestion coincided perfectly with their thoughts.
“We agree as well.” Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai had no objections either.
The director turned his gaze to Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan, who remained silent until the very end.
"Of course, we'd be happy to cooperate. It's an honor to contribute to the village." Zhong Ran smiled, but inwardly thought, "Isn't this just live-streaming e-commerce?"
"That's wonderful. The production team will issue a notice tonight through the official account to help farmers. Teachers, please get some rest tonight." The director said and then left.
Xu Wang stretched, took Pei Yanchuan's hand, and turned to walk towards their residence.
