Chapter 439 Everyone Hates Mother-in-Law (7)
Chen Shichu grew too many beans for her to eat all of them, so she made them into dried beans. She took a video while making them and posted it on a very popular video software. Unexpectedly, some people actually watched her video, and some even asked if they could buy the dried beans she made.
Chen Shichu saw a comment under the video: "The dried beans my sister made are so clean, do you want to sell them? My grandma likes to eat dried beans stewed with pig's head."
Chen Shichu thought that the beans were all grown by himself and were not valuable, so he replied to the man: "No need to buy them, tell me your address and I will send them to you directly."
The man actually replied very quickly: "No, how can I let you give it to me? I have money to buy it. If my grandma likes it after eating it, I will buy it again. Miss, you can't always give it to me, right?"
Chen Shichu did not enter the country, but she showed her hands and half of her body when she picked, washed, and cooked the beans, so this person thought she was a young lady.
After several rounds of refusing, Chen Shichu had no choice but to set an average price. The buyer then transferred the money very readily and bought five kilograms at a time. It was obvious that his grandmother really liked eating dried beans.
The dried beans made by Chen Shichu were naturally clean and high quality. She sent the goods to the buyer’s address. A few days later, the buyer came back excitedly and left a message:
"Miss, my grandma likes your dried beans very much. She said that they taste like the ones she used to dry, and it reminds her of her youth... She eats them every day these days and urges me to buy more from you. Please put the dried beans in the window of your homepage. I want to buy some!"
Seeing the buyers' positive comments, Chen Shichu was also quite happy. It felt like he was recognized when other people really liked the things he made.
However - "What does the showcase on the homepage mean?" Chen Shichu had just started using this video software and had not yet figured out all of its functions, so he asked the buyer.
Fortunately, the buyer was very talkative and taught Chen Shichu incessantly how to sell goods on this software. Chen Shichu was very smart to begin with, and she learned it quickly after the buyer taught her. So she took photos of the many dried beans she had left, wrote descriptions, and put them in the window for people to buy.
She only has one video on her personal homepage now, and she has only three or four fans, one of whom is the buyer just now. It can be said that her life is very quiet. However, Chen Shichu does not expect to make money by being an internet celebrity, so she is very Buddhist. She is very happy if someone watches her videos, but she doesn't care if no one watches. If the beans in the window cannot be sold, she will keep them for herself or give them to neighbors. She doesn't force it.
However, through this incident, she became interested in becoming a host. It seemed easy to just shoot a daily video and put it on the homepage. She had never done this job before, so why not give it a try?
So she did what she said. The next day, Chen Shichu decided to pick all the peppers that were growing too vigorously in her own vegetable garden. She propped her phone up on a phone stand and placed it aside to film herself picking peppers.
The peppers she planted grew thrivingly, some were red, some were green. The red ones were bright as fire, like hanging little lanterns, while the green ones were much more low-key, lush and verdant.
As she picked the peppers, she introduced what kind of peppers they were, how long they had been grown, their spiciness level, and what dishes they could be used to make...
After filming, she posted the video on her homepage. After thinking about it, she also put the freshly picked peppers in the window. If someone really buys them, she will ship them.
After that, she filmed other videos and put some salable things on the window from time to time. After ten days or half a month, she actually sold some goods. Although she didn't make much money, Chen Shichu found it very interesting, so she continued to do it.
Neighbor Auntie Wang noticed that there were always couriers coming to her house during this period, so she asked her curiously, "Ms. Chen, what are you sending to your son? I've seen couriers coming to your house several times."
Chen Shichu replied: "I didn't send it to my son, I sent it to others. I sell some agricultural products I make online, and I send them if someone buys them."
Aunt Wang's eyes widened. "Selling online? How do you sell it?"
"There are many websites on the Internet that can sell things. You just have to register, take a photo of the item and put it online. When others see it, want it and pay for it, you can just send it to the customer. It's very convenient." Chen Shichu gave her some basic knowledge about selling goods online.
“But... will it be difficult? I don’t understand anything on the Internet..." Aunt Wang was tempted but hesitant. In recent years, the express delivery industry in rural areas has also developed rapidly. The elderly people left behind in the village have all received express deliveries to some extent, but they were all bought online by their relatives working outside, but they themselves have never tried to sell goods and send them to others.
"It's not difficult. It's very simple once you learn it. All you need is a smartphone and internet access." Chen Shichu said with a smile.
"Um...what are you selling online?" Aunt Wang asked again. Chen Shichu packed all the items when he sent them, so she didn't know what Chen Shichu was selling.
"We sell dried beans, chili peppers, ginger, and sweet potatoes." Chen Shichu did not hide anything from her. "As long as the product is good, people will buy it no matter what you sell."
"Does anyone want these things? Don't every household grow them? Who wants to eat them?" Aunt Wang was shocked. These things were the most common things in their village. They were all grown and eaten by themselves and were readily available. Only a few people would sell some when they grew a lot at the market. But wouldn't it be too shameful to sell these things online?
"People in the city don't want it. They don't have their own land, so they have to buy everything. Of course they want fresher and more authentic things. How can the peppers and sweet potatoes sold in supermarkets be as good as those grown by farmers themselves? So they prefer to buy directly from farmers, where they get good quality and low price," explained Chen Shichu.
"People in the city still like these things? It's really rare." Aunt Wang sighed, and then she looked at Zhou Shichu expectantly: "Sister Chen, look, my family planted a lot of rice this year. Do you think we can sell it online?"
"Is it possible? But people have to see what you are selling before they will buy it." Chen Shichu reminded her, "If there is no traffic, traffic means how many people can see the things you are selling. If no one knows that you have something to buy, then no one will buy it, right? So it's hard to say whether your rice can be sold."
Aunt Wang was confused: "Hey, what do you mean by visible or invisible? I don't understand! I'll give you the rice, and you can help me sell it?"
Chen Shichu didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he quickly refused: "I can't help you with this. After all, this is sold to others to eat, so you have to be responsible for the food. If there is a problem with your food and the buyer asks for compensation, should he come to me or you?"
