"The creamy milk fragrance with a hint of osmanthus, this Jin Xuan oolong tea can be recommended, but its price is definitely high. Jin Xuan doesn't focus on region since it's a cultivated tea."

"Ah Qing, don't be polite, go for a hundred first, we should get the final deal at around one hundred forty."

After lunch and a rest, the afternoon livestream content shifted to the tea farmers' direct sale area.

Ah Qing led the livestream audience to watch the little fox haggling in the tea farmers' direct sale area.

Ansheng used his experience, tasting the tea brews from the farmers, would give his own price, and then Ah Qing would introduce it to the viewers in the livestream.

If viewers in the livestream want to try, Ah Qing would purchase a few pounds from the stall owner, then let Yu Zhenghong list them on his music note shop at home. Regarding the price, Ah Qing doesn't earn a profit, just gets a bit for shipping.

Of course, regarding the shipping fee, it's not really earning from the customers, it's more of a courier rebate.

Every quarter, reaching a certain volume allows for shipping fee discounts, creating a price difference.

"Boss, 180 a pound is too expensive, right?"

Ah Qing didn't have much experience in bargaining, her personality was more introverted, usually buying from supermarkets or online, where there's no bargaining.

Thus, Ah Qing asked her mom, Chen Peipei, for quick bargaining tips.

Ah Qing raised Master Fox high up and placed it in front of the tea stall owner: "Boss, do you dare swear on Master Fox that 180 is the lowest price? Our Master Fox lives with the Big Milk Mother and Mazu..."

"138!"

The stall owner, almost having Master Fox ride his face, bitterly reported a price.

Shoving River God Big Milk Mother and Sea God Mazu, one of the Daoist immortals Master Fox, in front of oneself, forcing oneself to swear on conscience... If she bargains like this, what else can one say?

Consider speaking further, one might as well enjoy Master Fox's lazy sleep.

"However! Let me clarify! The 138 price is completely wholesale, whether your livestream audience buys online or offline, it must be 153, otherwise I won't even break even…" The tea stall owner explained bitterly to the livestream, detailing tea leaf storage, shipping, and labor costs, explaining that 138 wholesale doesn't mean break-even at 138 sale.

Other costs must be calculated, if someone doesn't believe, one can show the wholesale invoices.

"Ugh! Shameless old thief!" Ansheng rolled his eyes towards Ah Qing: "Price's okay but not considered a value pick. Still, if the audience buys, if he dare mixes, I'll beat him."

"Boss, Master Fox said if you dare mix for our livestream audience, he'll scold you to death."

"Moreover! Master Fox has also said, Jin Xuan oolong doesn't have many stems, you should sort them first, stems really weigh down."

Tea stall owner: "......"

Am I that kind of person? Do I look like someone who'd mix a pound of fresh tea with two ounces of old tea, or cheap similar-grade tea, pretending it's premium tea to sell?

Though we aren't from the same village, at least give me some trust, okay!

Some teas must have stems, but some teas don't need stems.

Tea merchants manually sort stems after purchasing leaves, then pack them, presenting the final tea to customers.

Some unethical merchants intentionally overlook sorting stems to gain more weight and profit.

Jin Xuan oolong is about enjoying creamy osmanthus, the main flavor comes from the tea itself, not the stems.

Rich in fragrance... Essentially roasted oolong, having some stems is normal, different teas vary slightly in craft and output.

Under Ansheng's lead, Ah Qing selected over ten types of tea in the direct sale area, listed them on the music note shop, sold at equal price as a fan appreciation special.

Mainly oolong tea, with some red tea and flower teas, all quite unique.

Ansheng is knowledgeable and skillful, his haggling cuts into merchants' veins.

If the opponent barely shorts some weight, Ansheng wouldn't say much.

If you earn over twenty off a pound, Ansheng would scrutinize the tea leaves and go for the artery.

Ansheng is aware of these tricks, but they're quite common.

Can't compare with big tea merchants, if those lazy ones were to use chemical means and plant sciences, their profit margins wouldn't be noticeable.

Tea stall owner's tricks are too immature.

Those tea stall owners who've been haggled by Ansheng just don't have good expressions.

But to say bad? Not quite.

It's just... they never experienced earning feeling this difficult.

"No way, gotta give a follow, watching that Master Fox trouble other tea merchants, I feel unbalanced." Tea stall owner searched Ah Qing on the music note platform.

After typing in [Ah Qing and Xiaolan (formerly Ah Qing's Tea Story Society)].

A video popped up.

"Hmm? Xiaolan, why do you know so much about tea stuff? What, you say it's all taught by the village head? He even forces you to read tea books?"

Tea stall owner watched the video, then looked at old Chen, along with other village committee members, surveying on site.

"Uh? Why are you looking at me?" Old Chen puzzledly glanced at the neighboring village's tea merchants and farmers.

We haven't done anything wrong by you! While our village farmers took the core area, you can still stall at the periphery, isn't that the usual practice?

Why look at me sullenly?

"Old Chen, old Chen! Your crime is grave!"

"Huh?"

...

"Ah Qing! I'm going with Lao Hei for a poo, don't prepare our dinner tonight, we're going hunting..."

As closing time approached, Ansheng checked the time and said to Ah Qing, ready to leave for a gathering.

"Hunting?"

Ah Qing, collecting stuff, paused, quickly chased out and shouted: "Have some Shiitake Mouse and bamboo shoots! Don't provoke those with national standards, careful not to get beaten up!"

The little fox going hunting... Honestly, Ah Qing is unsure what he can hunt.

Near Changxi Town, only Shiitake Mouse, some escaped bullfrogs from farms years ago, and some fish can be beaten by the little fox; other like wild boars, Xia Nan Tiger, or leopard cats are clearly beyond the little fox's match.

Concerned for safety, Ah Qing tried to remind the little fox in his way home.

"Relax!"

"Old An happily unbeaten upon all, yet to try... Actually, never mind, old An's only defeat was in bed when you sucked my Yang Qi, almost scratched to laugh out pig-calls."

Ansheng turned back with a coo, and just as he stepped out the farmers' market entrance, he spotted Bai Tao at the driver's seat of a family car.

And Bai Tao clearly noticed Ansheng, stepped out of the car, heading to the market, while Su Qiyuan kept following Ansheng upon exiting.

"Master Fox..."

"I've heard from my seniors, could you perform that for me? That one, you know!" Bai Tao glanced at Su Qiyuan, then gestured in anticipation towards Ansheng.

"Eeh?"
