Chapter 9 Mukbang Peaches



Yan Jie made a phone call and summoned the e-commerce staff.

He discussed with the manager: "I still want to sell these peaches on your platform. The price will be based on the high price of similar products. I'll give you 80% and you 20%. You will be responsible for picking and shipping. I only guarantee that the peaches will sell out as soon as they go online."

The manager had worked with him once and knew how terrifying the traffic behind it was.

The free-range eggs from Canglang Village sold out as soon as they were put online, and pre-orders were even booked until the end of the month, so he couldn't guarantee that they would be delivered.

If he only gets two-tenths of the profits from this peach business, he will undoubtedly lose money. But if he does the peach business for the entire Canglang Village, the profits will be quite considerable.

"Will it still be sold online under the name of Canglang Village peaches?"

"yes."

"Can all the flat peaches grown by the fruit farmers in the village be sold online under this brand?"

"Can."

The manager readily agreed, saying, "I'll have my staff draft the contract immediately. It'll be a pleasure working with you."

Director Chen sent someone to inquire about what Yan Jie was talking about. After learning the situation, he spoke up again to remind him:

"We warn individual male guests that any behavior that violates the program's purpose will be considered a violation, and the program team has the right to impose the maximum penalty on the responsible guest."

Shen Yingyu picked a basket of peaches and placed it directly in front of the camera:

"Director Chen, this is a reality show about labor. As long as we participate in labor, you can't say we're breaking the rules."

"You asked the e-commerce staff to help you pick the peaches, so what are you doing?"

"Sale."

Shen Yingyu picked out a large peach from the bamboo basket and handed it directly to Jiang Hexi, giving her a wink as he said:

"You understand what I mean?"

Jiang Hexi nodded emphatically, "I understand."

She used a fruit knife to peel the peach and held it up in front of the camera, showing it off back and forth.

"Family members, these are freshly picked peaches from the orchard. Let me let you taste them."

She took a bite, and with a crisp "crunch," the peach burst with juice. Enjoying it, she said:

"Sweet and juicy, honestly, I could show off six of these peaches in one go."

Yu Xiangwan took the juicer from Shen Yingyu, peeled and pressed the peaches, and demonstrated the process of making peach juice.

Chu Yang took a glass of peach juice and drank it all in one gulp. He held the glass upside down and said, still wanting more:

"Sis, another one."

Director Chen was so angry that he didn't know how to react. "Please, guests, abide by the live broadcast rules, otherwise the production team has the right to issue an exorbitant fine."

"It's just a mukbang, why is Director Chen so nervous?"

Shen Yingyu tossed the peaches up into the air and caught them steadily with one hand. "The orchard had a good harvest. What rules of the program could we be violating by eating a few peaches from our own garden?"

With another crisp "crunch," Jiang Hexi took a big bite, maximizing the comedic effect of the live stream.

[Last time it was a blatant advertisement, this time it's a mukbang (eating broadcast). They can find a way to squeeze in any rule!]

[Another day of feeling sorry for Director Chen. If there's really no other way, Director Chen, just blur their faces.]

[The queen of mukbang! Xi Mei has amazing teeth! Every bite is bursting with juice, making my mouth water.]

After Jiang Hexi finished eating the sixth peach, Shen Yingyu pushed a full basket of peaches in front of her.

To eat or not to eat, that is the question.

If she keeps eating like this, her stomach will burst, but if she doesn't eat, the "advertisement" can't continue.

She stared at the basket of peaches in deep thought, then suddenly turned to Yu Xiangwan beside her and asked:

"Wanwan, these peaches are so delicious, should we let the crew members try some?"

"If we dare to give it to them, would they dare to eat it?"

Yu Xiangwan put the peeled peach into the juicer, pressed hard, and the peach burst open, squeezing out a cup of juice. She then handed the cup of peach juice to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang patted his belly, which was big enough to "support a boat," and looked at the cup of peach juice with a dreadful gaze, questioning the meaning of life.

Jiang Hexi, carrying a basket of peaches, got up and walked towards the film crew across the street.

How will you know if you don't try?

"That's right, maybe the staff just love drinking our peach juice."

Chu Yang picked up the cup and chased after Jiang Hexi's retreating figure.

Jiang Hexi approached her on-camera producer, and before he could refuse, she forcefully placed two peaches into his hands, quietly telling him:

"Here you go. I only give one to others, but I'll give you two. Remember to take good pictures of me later."

One sentence left the camera PD speechless, both amused and exasperated.

The staff members all retreated to the outside, watching them with suppressed laughter.

"I'm not Yan Jie, why are you all avoiding me?"

Jiang Hexi joked, "Besides, Director Chen isn't that stingy. He's in charge of your work, so why would he care if you eat a peach?"

Laughter erupted from all around, and Chu Yang also stepped forward to chime in:

"Director Chen forbids us from taking advantage of the production team, but he didn't say we can't take advantage of you. Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, you don't dare to do it."

The assistant director called out, "Do you charge for your tastings?"

Jiang Hexi handed the peaches to the assistant director and said generously, "Eat without worry, it's free."

She carried a basket of peaches, handing them out along the way, and finally arrived in front of Director Chen.

Director Chen said slyly, "I was waiting to watch your mukbang, what's wrong, you can't eat anymore?"

Jiang Hexi picked out the biggest peach for him, saying, "Director, they said you wouldn't dare eat it, but I don't believe it."

Director Chen remained standing behind the camera without moving, so she pushed the peach forward slightly, as if to soften her stance:

"Director Chen, don't worry, we won't take any shortcuts, we will definitely farm properly."

Director Chen then reached out and took the peach.

[Is this... a reconciliation? What's with Xi Mei's actions? It's like they're fighting and loving each other!]

[Director Chen, didn't you look down on capital? How come a peach from the Heavenly Palace won you over?]

[Xi Mei's emotional intelligence is so high she could teach a class! Just by offering the peach to Director Chen instead of shoving it at him, she gave him plenty of face. Not to mention her subsequent flattering words, she had Director Chen completely under her thumb!]

[Xi Mei clearly comes from a privileged background and grew up in a loving family. She possesses a pure joy that constantly infects those around her.]

When Yan Jie returned, he witnessed this delightful scene. He glanced at the peaches in the staff's hands, and they immediately hid them behind their backs in perfect unison.

He looked up at Director Chen, who had just taken a bite of the peach, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

[I'm laughing so hard I can't live anymore!!! The King of Hell is here! Who understands the expression on Director Chen's face when he's frozen in place? He wishes he could disappear into a hole in the ground!]

The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet...

Another epic moment has been created.

[I'm terrified that Yan Jie will blurt out: "Did the production team pay for the peaches they ate?" Hahahaha—]
