Chapter 113 Walnuts "A leaf fell on your hair."...

Chapter 113 Walnuts "A leaf fell on your hair."...

The rules have been announced, and the tools have been distributed.

Just as everyone was preparing to form groups, Ye Hantao waved to Aunt Hua, who had come with them.

Aunt Hua, carrying a tied plastic bag, hurried over. "These are the walnut buns I made. Everyone, please try them."

She had never made walnut buns before. It was Tao Tao who suggested it to her during breakfast that morning and then guided her step by step on how to make them.

In fact, Ye Hantao only knew how to eat but not how to cook; she learned these steps from Chef Jing of Jinwan Hotel.

Ye Hantao and Aunt Hua prepared the filling according to the steps and tasted it. If they felt that something was missing, they would add seasoning.

While Aunt Hua was distributing the walnut buns, Ye Hantao said, "Aunt Hua made a total of 30 walnut buns. Let's each take one first, and the rest can be left for the winning team."

Yuan Kai accepted the walnut bag from Aunt Hua, surprised that such a wonderful opportunity had come to him.

He stared at the walnut bag for a few moments, then suddenly sighed.

When someone looked in his direction from the sound, Yuan Kai said with great concern, "My wife sent me a message yesterday saying that Ruoruo has been having the flu and doesn't want to eat much these past two days. She really likes walnut buns."

Oh no! Has Ruoruo caught the flu?!

My heart aches for the baby.

The flu is very dangerous for children.

[Ruoruo is already thin, hopefully it won't get worse.]

Viewers who watched the reality show about raising children were worried about Ruoruo, and Ye Hantao also asked with concern, "How was she this morning?"

Yuan Kai was surprised that Ye Hantao would ask him this question. His mind raced, but his expression remained worried. "The fever has subsided."

Anyway, no one shares a room with him, and it's unclear whether he's sent a message to his family to inquire.

While answering, Yuan Kai subtly observed Ye Hantao's expression.

Does Ye Hantao like children?

He could use Ruoruo to build a good relationship with Ye Hantao.

He didn't expect to be able to fool Ye Hantao like he used to fool young newcomers, but Ye Hantao's uncle was Oliver, which was a real fashion resource.

Yuan Kai had long planned to groom his daughter for a career in the entertainment industry.

He couldn't directly tell Ye Hantao that he wanted some resources, but Ruoruo was able to reap a lot of benefits by taking advantage of her innocent and naive words.

"That's good." Ye Hantao then asked, "What medicine does your daughter usually take for the flu?"

Cheng Zhao raised his eyebrows.

He looked at Yuan Kai again and caught a fleeting hint of unease on the other's face.

Yuan Kai, being a seasoned actor, instantly revealed an impeccable smile. "It varies each time. What medicine the doctor prescribes is always the same common children's medication available on the market."

Ye Hantao didn't say anything more.

Actually, Ye Hantao's prejudice against Yuan Kai had little to do with the rumors in the original novel.

It's best to stay away from rumors to avoid developing subtle prejudices.

She had watched the reality show featuring Yuan Kai and his child.

In the show, several families ate together, and Ye Hantao noticed that Yuan Kai always put the scrambled eggs closest to Ruoruo on his plate.

Ruoruo can eat every last bite.

However, when the children eat together at the same table, Ruoruo never touches the scrambled eggs.

Ye Hantao didn't know why she was so interested in this.

It could be that the father from the family next to them crossed half the table to put meat on his son's plate, or it could be that when the children were asked about their favorite food during an earlier interview, Ruoruo said it was steamed pork made by her mother.

From a young age, Ye Hantao has always loved eating steamed pork with rice flour.

There was clearly a plate of steamed pork with rice flour on the table where the guests were having dinner that day.

As she served it, she was still comparing it in her mind to the steamed pork with rice flour that her family often ate.

Everyone had a walnut bag, and Chen Xiaofeng was the first to take a bite.

"Great, I didn't eat enough this morning!" He got up late today and didn't eat much before the production crew urged him to go up the mountain, leaving him feeling hungry.

Chen Xiaofeng's eyes lit up as he took a big bite into the walnut bun.

The dough is soft and absorbs the sweetness of brown sugar. What's even better are the chopped walnuts and red dates inside, which are crispy, rich, and become more fragrant with each chew.

He'd had his share of delicious walnut buns before, but how could he find walnut buns here that tasted just as good as those sold in high-end hotels?!

Amazing!

That's amazing!

I imagine his first breakfast here was a sour steamed bun that had been over-fermented.

This is a world of difference in treatment.

Su Yi'ang ate without looking up, mumbling, "Delicious, delicious, delicious!"

Chen Xiaofeng echoed with his actions, "Aunt Hua, can I have another walnut bun? No, have two!"

Seeing the two of them like this, the others also started to try the walnut buns that had already cooled down.

He Qiang: "Not bad."

Seeing that they were all satisfied, Ye Hantao pointed to the walnuts on the tree, "The main thing is that the walnuts and red dates from this mountain are fragrant and sweet enough!"

Cheng Zhao roughly guessed Ye Hantao's plan and immediately asked Aunt Hua, "Have any manufacturers made reservations for the walnuts and red dates from this mountain? Can we still buy them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a surprised look from Tao Tao.

Cheng Zhao's expression remained unchanged; he simply touched Ye Hantao's hand with the back of his own.

Ye Hantao lowered her head.

She wore the gold bracelet Cheng Zhao had given her, while Cheng Zhao still wore the same zodiac pendant.

Cheng Zhao's words served as a reminder to everyone.

Su Yi'ang raised his hand high, "I also want to buy walnuts and red dates from the mountain!"

【Ahhhhhh I want to buy this! +1!】

[The walnuts and red dates that Ye Hantao personally endorsed are a must-buy!]

Ye Hantao still believes that Aunt Hua made the steamed buns.

[This is different! This time, both Chen Xiaofeng and Su Yi'ang say they're certain!]

Why were Cheng Zhao and He Qiang, who were also identified as having similar views, singled out?

They had no principles in front of Ye Hantao.

【I don't care!!! @《Classmates Are Here》 program team! I need to buy walnuts and red dates!!! Tell me quickly where to buy them!!!】

Seeing that one or two people wanted to buy it, Aunt Hua was overjoyed.

"Sell them! Sell them! Our village grows a lot of walnuts and red dates!"

Aunt Hua plans to wait until they finish picking walnuts and recording the program before counting how many they bought.

No matter how much they buy, it's a good start for the village.

Unexpectedly, after Ye Hantao divided the guests into two groups, she verbally counted how many they wanted to buy while cracking walnuts, asking, "How many walnuts do you want to buy? I want to buy 100 jin of walnuts and 100 jin of red dates."

The walnuts and red dates tasted really good; Ye Hantao wasn't lying this time.

A hundred pounds each seems like a lot, but after buying them and giving them away to different people, there's not much left.

Cheng Zhao didn't hesitate, "I'll buy 100 jin of each too."

"Me too!" Su Yi'ang knocked a walnut off a tree and shouted, "I'll sell as many pounds of walnuts as I knock down today!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaofeng immediately became enthusiastic, "That's great! I'll buy all the walnuts we harvested today!"

After Chen Xiaofeng finished speaking, the remaining Wu Xia, Jin Shiyue, He Qiang, and Yuan Kai each bought anywhere from several dozen to a hundred catties.

"Aunt Hua, Aunt Hua." Ye Hantao looked at Aunt Hua, who was standing there in a daze, "Did you just write down what we wanted to buy?"

Aunt Hua suddenly snapped back to reality, "I've got it! I've got it! I'll go find someone right now."

Aunt Hua was walking on air.

The village has been growing walnuts and jujubes for several years. Every year after the harvest, most of them are left unharvested. At the beginning of the year, some families expressed their intention to cut down the trees.

The village leaders pleaded with them to persevere for another year, saying they would try their best to find a manufacturer this year.

Aunt Hua never imagined that she would sell over a thousand kilograms of walnuts and red dates before they were even picked from the tree!

Just as Aunt Hua turned around, Ye Hantao called out to her again, "Aunt Hua, does the village have a live streaming account? I'm worried that some viewers might want to buy it but won't be able to find a channel."

This was discussed between Ye Hantao and the production team.

Although the main purpose of the program team's visit was to broadcast the Hope School and the road that was about to be built, the team did not mind that the villagers would use the popularity of the live broadcast to start their own live broadcasts to help farmers.

【Ahhhhhh, only Tao Tao understands me so well!!!】

[Yes, yes, yes, let's sell them via live stream! I want to eat the walnuts that Tao Tao makes!]

What?! I want to eat walnuts cracked by Flash!!

[Wu Xia, cracking walnuts hard (with a small whip.jpg)]

Ye Hantao is always thinking about helping them.

Don't judge a person by what they say, but by what they do. Based on what Ye Hantao has done these past few days while filming the show, I've decided to spoil her forever.

[Hahaha, if Ye Hantao just talked less, her followers would grow even faster.]

Seeing that Aunt Hua didn't speak, Ye Hantao asked again.

Aunt Hua asked blankly, "Live streaming account?"

What live streaming account?

Do they have this in their village?

Half an hour later, another group of people went up the mountain.

During a break from harvesting walnuts, Ye Hantao noticed that the village leader she had met the day she arrived in the village was talking to Director Wan.

The village leader smiled as he inquired about the relevant matters while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Their village has sold walnuts and red dates before, but they've never done live-streaming sales.

In the past half hour, everyone had different opinions.

Some say they shouldn't miss the opportunity to sell goods via livestream while the trend is hot, while others say they don't understand it and need to prepare slowly.

When the village leaders entered the live broadcast room of "Classmates Are Here," they found that the viewers' enthusiasm for purchasing was at its peak.

If they actually spend a day or two preparing, the hype surrounding the walnut buns and celebrities personally picking walnuts will be gone.

The village leaders made the decision directly: some people tallied the walnut shipments, some contacted the courier companies they had previously worked with, and the rest brought people to the mountain to do a live broadcast.

Ye Hantao watched as they fiddled with their phones for a bit, seemingly stumped by some problem.

Several people took turns swiping on the phone and then handed it to the next person.

Ye Hantao suddenly realized that this village didn't seem to have tried selling goods via live streaming.

She packed up her tools for cracking walnuts and went to see if they needed any help.

Before they even reached their destination, they bumped into Cheng Zhao, who had just put down a basket of walnuts and was being pulled aside by him.

The village leader humbly inquired, "Excuse me, is this how you start a live stream? And how do you link the account...?"

Cheng Zhao shifted his gaze to the other person's screen.

He didn't take the phone to help operate it, but simply replied, "The live-streaming sales permission isn't enabled. Right, tap the top left corner, um, verification... Do you have a photo? Okay, has your official account confirmed its name?"

"Yes! We'll name it after our village!"

Ye Hantao watched them operate from the sidelines; to be precise, Cheng Zhao was teaching while the villagers were operating the equipment.

In the middle of the conversation, Cheng Zhao asked a few questions in a low voice, which Ye Hantao overheard.

Information such as origin, variety, specifications, shelf life, and storage method should be clearly stated.

There's also logistics, shipping, and after-sales service.

Ye Hantao's gaze was initially on the phone screen, but as she listened, it drifted to Cheng Zhao's face.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, falling over his prominent nose and highlighting the half-lit, half-shadowed profile of his face.

Ye Hantao didn't see Cheng Zhao as a photographer in the wild, but she did get a glimpse of him as a boss in the company.

Rigorous and reliable.

A gentle breeze caressed my face, and the leaves rustled in the wind.

Cheng Zhao noticed the shadow approaching, looked up, and his furrowed brows relaxed.

He stood still, and the next second, the hair at the back of his neck was gently touched, with the soft touch of fingertips.

Ye Hantao withdrew her hand, dangling a leaf stem between her fingers, and laughed lightly, "A leaf fell on your hair."
