After a ten-minute drive along a small mountain road, Shen Yao arrived at the lychee orchard at noon.
Because this area had already been cleared, the remaining people were busy on another hilltop and couldn't see this side, so the first thing Shen Yao did upon getting out of the car was to use her spiritual energy to take a bird's-eye view with her phone.
The live stream suddenly shrank, and then the entire appearance of the orchard appeared on the phone.
Red fruits hung from the trees. Seeing the heaps of lychees, everyone finally believed that the lychee yield in Shen Yao's video was indeed real.
If they could claim it was fake when only one tree was laden with fruit, what about when the entire mountain was covered in full lychee trees?
If it were truly fake, how much effort would it take to create such a deception?
After capturing the panoramic view of the orchard, Shen Yao retrieved her phone.
“The moment it lifted off, I felt a shameful fear of heights!”
“Brother upstairs, you’re not alone. I let out a scream in class and am now standing in the hallway as punishment.”
“Does anyone else think the streamer is a big spender, using a drone to live stream for us? The footage isn’t shaky at all.”
“Please, streamer, share the drone link and brand. I desperately need it!”
...
Shen Yao pretended not to see the comments asking for the "drone" and continued walking towards Shen Papa and the others with her phone.
When Shen Papa and the others started appearing on screen one by one, the netizens in the live stream were envious to the point of tears.
“Wuwu, everyone in the streamer’s family has such high颜值 (yan zhi - appearance value). They must have saved the galaxy in their past lives!”
“Wuwu, my love, which should have been shattered before it even began, ultimately means I’m not good enough.”
“Those who aren’t good-looking are afraid to marry into the streamer’s family, lest they lower the family's overall appearance.”
Seeing the netizens’ adorable comments, Shen Yao couldn’t help but smile and say, “Everyone is unique, so we shouldn’t judge people by their appearance.”
“Alright, next, I’ll show you our family’s lychees.”
“Do you see these? The lychees I’m holding now are called ‘Fei Zi Xiao’ (Consort’s Smile), the ones Yang Guifei ate. Aren’t they big? Not only are ‘Fei Zi Xiao’ big, but they are also especially delicious.”
After speaking, Shen Yao ungratefully ate a lychee, making everyone in the live stream drool.
“Little sister, I advise you to behave!”
“Little fairy, please share the link. Don’t force me to beg you.”
“Wuwu, tears are uncontrollably flowing from the corners of my mouth. I really want to eat them!”
“Little sister, are your lychees for sale? As long as you post the link, I’ll buy them. I really want to eat them.”
...
Seeing that the comments were all asking for lychees, Shen Yao said, “We won’t be selling the lychees. Let’s do a giveaway. We’ll pick 50 winners, and each will receive 5 jin of lychees.”
“Here, I’ll post a link for the giveaway. The system will announce the list of winners in 5 minutes.”
The giveaway link was randomly selected by v station data, which eliminated the possibility of fraud.
When everyone heard Shen Yao mention the giveaway, they started lamenting again.
“As an unlucky person, I think spending money suits me better.”
“You’ll never understand the pain of never winning a giveaway.”
“I’m crying out loud. No matter what, I want to eat them too.”
Shen Yao found the antics of the netizens in the live stream amusing and enjoyed interacting with them, finding the experience novel.
While waiting for the giveaway, Shen Yao took everyone on a tour. Only after the giveaway results were out did Shen Yao bid them farewell.
Amidst the reluctant comments from everyone, Shen Yao closed the live stream.
“Phew.”
Shen Yao let out a breath. She felt that being a streamer was really tiring, but she suddenly understood why Xixi insisted on continuing to stream.
Having a group of people whom you’ve never met, yet who unconditionally stand by your side simply out of the purest liking, it’s truly hard not to care about them.
Shen Yao packed the lychees prepared for the giveaway and waited for the delivery driver to pick them up.
As for Xia Chao and the others, they immediately tagged her in the group chat after the live stream ended.
Chao Chao Mu Mu: @Yao Yao Yu Zhuai, Yao Yao, give me one tree of each variety. Someone will come to pick them up in a couple of days.
Xixi Related: @Yao Yao Yu Zhuai, Yao Yao, I want one tree of each variety too.
Nan Nan Zi Yu: @Yao Yao Yu Zhuai, Yao Yao, I’ll take all your lychees. The price is negotiable.
Yao Yao Yu Zhuai: Can you eat that much? It’s so much. I’m afraid you’re asking for more just so you can eat more!
It had to be said that Shen Yao understood them truly well. They hadn’t discussed with their families about buying so much, but since they had already bought them, what was wrong with asking for more!
Therefore, even if their families found out, they wouldn’t do much to them.
Yao Yao Yu Zhuai: @Nan Nan Zi Yu, Nan Nan, why do you need so many lychees?
Nan Nan Zi Yu: @Yao Yao Yu Zhuai, my parents also watched your live stream just now and thought your lychees grew exceptionally well. So, they are prepared to acquire all your lychees and sell them in our family’s department store.
Zhou Ya Nan’s parents made a lot of money in the south years ago. Later, after moving to H City, they opened their own supermarket and eventually built their own department store.
Now, Zhou Ya Nan’s family department store can be considered a chain, with branches in all first-tier and second-tier cities.
The reason for wanting so many lychees was to sell them in department stores in northern cities.
Nan Nan Zi Yu: @Yao Yao, it’s okay if you don’t agree. Don’t worry.
Zhou Ya Nan said, but she still hoped Shen Yao would agree. After all, the competition nowadays was too fierce, with almost every department store using all sorts of methods to retain customers.
Yao Yao Yu Zhuai: @Nan Nan Zi Yu, I didn’t say no. I’ll discuss it with my parents tonight when I get back.
Seeing Shen Yao’s message, Zhou Ya Nan became extremely happy, feeling as though she had finally done something good.
In the afternoon, after Shen Huai Min and Shen Papa had packed and shipped the lychees, the father and son discussed preparing to set up their stall.
During this time, Shen Huai Min and Shen Papa had become engrossed in the joy of earning money every day, constantly thinking about how to sell more lychees.
And Shen Yao’s family’s lychees had indeed become a local specialty, attracting countless people.
Upon learning that Shen Huai Min’s family also ran a guesthouse, people even wished to stay at their guesthouse directly.
Later, Shen Papa mentioned that the guesthouse was temporarily closed for renovation and would reopen after the renovation was completed.
Upon hearing this result, people didn’t pester further but instead said they would come to their farm stay for a few days after it reopened.
Seeing that people were already planning to visit before it had even reopened, Shen Papa’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.
