Chapter 1115 Give Me More Guidance
Shen Yingying took a small square bag in her hand. The bag was embroidered with a very beautiful peony pattern, with several flowers and leaves, and the colors were very pretty. She said, "Sister, this bag is so pretty."
Shen Xuening said, "It was embroidered for me by an elderly person at the nursing home. Do you like it? If you do, you can carry it."
Shen Yingying shook her head and put the bag back on the display case: "They gave this to you, how can I accept it? Just keep it in the cabinet and look at it."
Shen Xuening handed the bag to Shen Yingying: "Take it if you like it. I have more than a dozen bags. Look how many I've carried."
She didn't buy the bags herself; they were bought for her by Qin Zizhou, Qin's mother, and Old Madam Qin. She would buy them whenever she saw one she liked, and Qin Zizhou would bring them over when he came. Qin Zizhou had many bags at home, all for Shen Xuening. If he brought them all over, there wouldn't be enough room at home.
Shen Yingying really liked the bag and held it in her hand: "Thank you so much, sister. This bag is so beautiful. When I have a holiday, I want to learn how to embroider."
Shen Xuening immediately replied, "Okay, I support you."
Shen Yingying nodded happily: "Mm."
Shen Xuening called Shen Wenxu over: "Take a look, see if there's anything you like, take it if you do."
As the older sister, I also need to treat everyone equally. If Shen Yingying gave a gift, my younger brother should also give one.
Shen Wenxu didn't stand on ceremony with Shen Xuening and rubbed his hands together: "Sister, can I really choose one?"
Shen Xuening chuckled: "Of course, would I joke with you, sister?"
“Then I’ll choose.” Shen Wenxu walked to the display case and looked at each gift. “So many gifts. The old people put so much thought into them.”
Shen Yingying couldn't help but say, "These things can't be done in a day or two; it must have taken a lot of effort."
Shen Wenxu nodded in agreement: "Sister's kindness has been rewarded."
Shen Yingying said, "My sister gives gifts to the elderly every year for the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year, so it's normal for them to give her something in return."
Shen Wenxu shook his head: "What's normal about that? Many people think it's only natural and won't reciprocate."
Shen Yingying thought about it and said, "That's true. Many people don't know how to be grateful."
After some selection, Shen Wenxu chose two strings of peanuts. He first braided the peanuts with a ball of yellowish-brown thread, then strung them together and hung them on the wall as decorations. There were two strings in total.
Shen Wenxu held the peanuts with obvious delight, his business acumen kicking in: "These peanuts look so good. If we sold them in Yongle, we could definitely make a lot of money."
Shen Xuening encouraged, "You can try to find the source of the supply. If you can, you can sell it."
Shen Wenxu looked at Shen Xuening with bright eyes: "Is it okay?"
Shen Xuening said, "Sure, you can find any items in this display case that are suitable for business and sell them. I support you."
Shen Wenxu nodded emphatically: "Sister, I understand."
Shen Yingying patted Shen Wenxu on the shoulder: "Little brother, how about investing?"
Shen Wenxu laughed heartily: "No problem, I'll help my second sister make money."
"You little brat, you're getting cocky." Shen Yingying chuckled. "If you don't make any money, I'll definitely laugh at you."
Shen Wenxu was extremely confident, as if he were radiating light: "Second sister, don't worry, with eldest sister protecting me, I won't let you suffer any losses."
Shen Yingying smiled and said, "I believe that."
Shen Wenxu waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Let me see how I can make this business a success."
Shen Yingying asked, "Aren't you going to school anymore?"
Shen Wenxu said casually, "Going to school is so easy, you can do it in your spare time."
Shen Yingying clenched her fist and made a thumbs-up gesture: "I believe in you."
……
The "Let's Farm" program's large group chat.
Chen Xi said, "Our scallions are ready to be harvested. Shall we harvest some tomorrow and sell them at Yongle?"
He Hao said, "Tomorrow is the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone will be happy to buy some things to take home. Our scallions look fresh and crisp, so they will definitely sell well."
Jiang Hao said, "I also agree that we should harvest some to sell tomorrow. Our scallions are good, and we're sure to get a good price."
Li Yun said, "I agree. We'll go pick scallions at seven o'clock tomorrow and then find someone with good looks to sell them."
Li Yunhao, the handsome guy, immediately spoke up: "Okay, I'll go sell them, you guys go pick them. By the way, how much per pound?"
Zhang Luzhuo chimed in, "Yes, how much does a pound of scallions cost?"
Zhao Fei said, "We'll ask tomorrow. The small supermarket sells all kinds of vegetables. We'll just pay the same price as they do there."
Zhuo Yuan said, "I'm near the small supermarket, I'll go ask."
Li Tong also spoke up: "You guys are really something, there's President Shen in the group, why don't you just ask him directly?"
Several people tagged Shen Xuening.
Shen Xuening replied, "The scallions here cost 8 yuan per jin (500g)."
Chen Xi: "See, it's so fast to ask a professional."
Shen Xuening: "Are you planning to set up a stall tomorrow? You can sell cilantro now, it's the best time to sell it."
He Hao: "We want the cilantro to grow a little longer. It's growing so well that we're reluctant to sell it."
Shen Xuening: "Sell when you need to, and then you can plant new ones. You can sell them again a month later, so you can plant them in a cycle."
Jiang Hao: "We listened to the professionals and sold the scallions and cilantro together."
Wang Yi: "Let's listen to President Shen. We'll pick more to sell tomorrow and make more money."
Director: "Everyone, get ready. We'll start filming tomorrow, focusing on the vegetable selling scene. Audiences love seeing that."
Everyone: "Roger!"
……
valley.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the filming was ready and everyone gathered in the valley. Shen Xuening arrived last, and filming began as soon as she arrived.
The guests split into two groups, one picking cilantro and the other picking scallions.
The area where cilantro and scallions are grown is quite large. People gather around the two plots of land and start harvesting from all four sides towards the center.
After picking them, tidy them up by cleaning off the mud and other dirt, and then neatly arrange them in bamboo baskets. These vegetables don't need to be washed; they can be sold directly, and they will look fresher.
We prepared a total of ten baskets, five for each small vegetable, and will come back to harvest them after selling them.
On camera, everyone worked together to pick the vegetables, filling ten baskets to the brim.
Then they carried baskets and followed Shen Xuening toward the village.
However, they hadn't gone far when they were surrounded by onlookers: "Where are you taking all these side dishes?"
Chen Xi said with a smile, "Take these to the small supermarket and sell them. Do you want to buy them?"
One audience member asked, "How much do you sell them?"
Chen Xi replied, "Scallions are eight yuan a pound, and cilantro is fifteen yuan a pound."
One enthusiastic audience member said, "Come on, give me five yuan for the scallions and five yuan for the cilantro. It doesn't matter who you sell them to, it's the same whether you sell them to me or not."
"Okay." The guests immediately started scrambling around, some grabbing bags, others taking scales, it was quite a flurry of activity. After about ten minutes, they finally managed to hand the side dishes to the first guest.
The audience found it amusing: "It's obvious this is their first time doing business. They're so flustered and clumsy that I feel embarrassed to buy anything from them."
Chen Xi repeatedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is indeed our first time selling today, we don't have much experience, but we'll be better next time."
The audience burst into laughter: "I believe in you guys, keep selling!"
"I want three yuan's worth of cilantro. The cilantro you just picked is very fragrant. I'll take it back to cook with the fish."
"I need half a pound of scallions to take home and make garlic-flavored pork belly."
"I want three yuan's worth of scallions and three yuan's worth of cilantro. Pack them together for me to take home and make a dipping sauce. It'll be very fragrant."
The audience gathered around and enthusiastically bought all the cilantro and scallions. Looking at the ten empty baskets, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Xi glanced around at everyone: "Are we still selling today?"
The director waved his hand: "Of course we have to sell it. It's only a few o'clock, not enough time for filming. Everyone go back and get back to work..."
After listening to the director's words, everyone turned around and walked towards the field, ready to harvest again.
Shen Xuening left early. Today is the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and a kite festival will be held on the grass. The kite that flies the highest will win a prize of five thousand yuan. Many people came to participate. Xia Rui was in charge of the event, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
When Shen Xuening arrived, the kite was about to be flown.
A total of 141 people participated, and they brought their own kites, including small kites, which cost three yuan each and were for the children to play with.
The entire area around the grassland, the square in front of the Flower Goddess Temple, and the square outside the Jade Peak Temple were all packed with people; it was practically a sea of humanity.
I registered for the kite-flying competition in advance, and everything has been verified so we can start flying.
A clear whistle sounded from the loudspeaker, signaling the start of the competition. Everyone chose a spot and began to play the whistle.
Qin Zizhou waved to Shen Xuening: "Is filming over there going so fast? It's not even ten o'clock yet, and it's already over?"
Shen Xuening briefly described what happened.
Qin Zizhou couldn't help but exclaim, "The power of fans is truly amazing!"
Shen Xuening said, "Doesn't your Qin family own an entertainment company? Don't you know how powerful the fans are?"
Qin Zizhou shook his head: "I'm not interested in entertainment and don't pay much attention to it. The only person I pay attention to is you."
Shen Xuening glanced at Qin Zizhou: "You should pay more attention to your family's businesses, otherwise you might not understand them later and there could be problems."
Qin Zizhou said optimistically, "We'll just have to learn and apply what we've learned when the time comes."
Shen Xuening said, "That's true. Your learning ability is even stronger than mine, so I don't need to worry about you."
Qin Zizhou said, "No, you're my girlfriend. My business is your business. You still need to worry about me more. What if I make a mistake? People will laugh at me."
Shen Xuening said, "Do you believe what you're saying? How much money have you made at Qin's company? Have you ever made a mistake?"
Qin Zizhou said modestly, "I am just a mortal. How can I be perfect? What if something really goes wrong one day? Xue Ning, you are good at these things. You must give me more pointers."
