Chapter 2290 - 1911: Going Live Again!

Chapter 2290: Chapter 1911: Going Live Again!

The arrival of fishermen one after another brought some bustle to the village, which had been somewhat neglected due to the continuous rainy weather.

The villagers were full of enthusiasm for them, and they could chat for a couple of sentences upon encountering them.

There’s nothing else, just that when these fishermen leave, they have to linger in their vegetable gardens a bit.

Zhang Yanping, while starting the boat, shouted, "You all won’t know how tired you get after fishing. If you want any vegetables, just let me know. I’ll have someone prepare them for you."

"Ah, that won’t do."

Disregarding this kind gesture, everyone was quite polite, saying, "After sitting so long, we definitely need to get up and stretch our legs, move about a bit."

Zhang Yanping thought it over briefly and understood at once. Then he teased:

"Wouldn’t you also carry your fish net while you’re moving around?"

"Certainly not," someone swiftly answered:

"The fish net has a cover, I can’t just open it for anyone I meet, can I? At that time, I’ll just hold it by the gills."

First, tour every vegetable garden in their village, then on the way back, feel slightly dizzy for a while. Before entering the community, inexplicably encounter a ghost hitting the wall, and circle around three times!

With this process, who wouldn’t get it?

Zhang Yanping was at a loss for what to say to this group of confident fishermen.

As he was about to start the boat, there was a rustling sound from the reeds, and a robust flower-armed tabby cat at the riverbank eyed the group carefully, deciding somehow.

In any case, the cat nimbly jumped onto the small boat, majestically perched at the bow, not even the rumbling motor sound scared it.

Zhang Yanping immediately laughed: "Hey guys, try not to embarrass yourselves! This tabby cat followed my relatives to fish but didn’t catch a single fish; it had to rely on itself in the end."

"I mean, if you folks spend the whole day and still let it go hungry, it would be a shame."

If you catch those tiny fish, you can totally offer them to Brother Cat.

Upon hearing this, a fisherman moved forward sincerely and clasped his hands:

"Brother Cat, if I catch ten big fish today, I’ll definitely share one with you."

Zhang Yanping immediately fell silent.

Well, which fisherman doesn’t have a dream? If Brother Tabby doesn’t get to eat today, it is evident these folks indeed won’t break even.

Not breaking even is good! Isn’t it just the fishermen who suffer the loss while they, Song Tan, and the village get a win-win-win?

He instantly showed a crafty merchant smile.

...

Fishermen have their dreams, and Qiaoqiao has returned several days ago, today finally resuming live streaming!

Xiaoyang was helping him review group chats, seeing everyone cheering and couldn’t help but wonder:

All are live streamed, Qiaoqiao has done plenty at his farm! He was delayed for several days after returning, why is everyone so eager now?

The reason Qiaoqiao is live streaming today is the education endeavor is starting again! Teacher Qiaoqiao is about to begin a lesson!

— In short, his family is starting the autumn sowing seedling cultivation.

Although there were still faint drizzles from the sky, farming could not be delayed. Everyone consciously put on raincoats and wide-brimmed hats, and by this time, they had arrived at the finely plowed ground.

Qiaoqiao also held an umbrella over his phone, but Xiaoyang looked at the camera and found it a bit dim, thus added an additional light.

Looking at Qiaoqiao again, he habitually set up the tripod well, tried it, and found it stable, then took a step back:

"All right, I’m going to plant now."

"Wait a minute." Xiaoyang quickly stopped him, "Haven’t seen everyone for a long time, say a few words before you go."

Now, the live streaming room was already open.

"What should I say?" Qiaoqiao pondered:

"Children, today I’ll teach you about sowing and seedling growing, you must learn well! This way, when the weather cools down, the seedlings will grow fast and well."

As soon as he spoke, comments poured forth.

[Teacher Qiaoqiao is starting the class again.]

[Finally back to live streaming, it just feels different outside.]

[Whoa? Today seems like something I can learn! The balcony gardening enthusiast is taking notes seriously.]

[Is sowing in the ground any different from sowing at home?]

[Qiao Bao! Are your seedlings for sale?]

[Link please, link please!]

[When streaming outside Brother Lianjie remained silent, finally seeing familiar comments here.]

[Teacher Qiaoqiao, what seeds did you choose? Please share.]

[Requesting vegetable seeds, requesting vegetable seeds.]

[Don’t fuss, if it’s truly the good taste from the seeds, the reputation would have spread long ago, Qiaoqiao’s farming skills are what make it grow well.]

Qiaoqiao only said one sentence, but the comments had already started chatting on their own.

Professor Song brought students who also showed interest in the comments, circled around the sticky wet ground several times, and then sighed.

Yunqiao Village’s geographical environment still imposes significant development restrictions!

Modern agriculture mainly relies on high-tech precise control for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, like large-scale breeding factories on Cui Island, which can sow 20,000 seeds in an hour once the production line starts.

Everything is done on the assembly line, with perfect conditions of light, wind, water, and fertilizer, producing uniform and consistent seedlings.

But what about Yunqiao Village?

Lao Song’s family, doing such a big business, still employs traditional sowing.

But this is unavoidable because looking around the village, apart from farmland, there isn’t a place big enough to build a CNC factory!

He again stared at the soil, sighed:

"Song Tan, if you could spare a piece of land nearby for mechanical sowing, your seedling selling business could be extraordinary."

Song Tan shook his head: "I wouldn’t know how to handle a larger business; it’s good as it is, where family can eat and drink well with improved living."

Look at Daoist Qingyun’s path, if taking that route, maybe she’d be holding a mountain of gold now.

But holding a gold mountain won’t fool the mouth!

Living requires concessions for three meals a day.

Professor Song also smiled: "I know, I’m just saying. Even if you’re accustomed to traditional sowing, don’t forget to learn about cutting-edge technologies, you might need them someday."

Speaking of which, Song Tan indeed wanted to know: "What advantages do factory-produced uniform seedlings have?"

Advantages huh...

"Actually, there are many,"

Professor Song said:

"Factory uniform breeding, due to better light and temperature control, allows the fruits of transplanted seedlings to mature half a month earlier."

"You sell agricultural products, you should know the economic benefits this half-month difference brings to farmers, right?"

Song Tan innocently said: "I don’t know, early or late, my family sells well regardless."

Professor Song: "..."

The two exchanged a glance, then both laughed.

Song Tan quickly added: "I understand — advancing by half a month differentiates from the market, which can easily establish premium pricing."

The profit from the first batch may likely cover the rest of the fruitful season, which is extremely crucial for businessmen.

"Yes." Professor Song also nodded.

While they were chatting, Qiaoqiao asked: "Sister, kids also want to learn to plant, but they can’t get fresh seedlings. Can we sell some?"

Song Tan looked down at the seeds packed in boxes inside the basket: ...Baobao, the seedlings haven’t emerged yet!
