TWWMABMTBH Chapter 28

“…”

The entire screen went silent.

[Bewilderment Value: 1998]

Rong Ziyan, seeing this, thought they didn’t understand what he meant, hence their lagging reaction. So, he conveniently took out a salted duck egg from his storage and cut it open to demonstrate.

Having learned from the previous live-streamed boar castration surgery, Rong Ziyan’s filming this time was also quite good. He captured the shots perfectly and even, without any instruction, learned to use phone software for editing, slowing down key parts, and adding sound.

Thus, these top students, who had finally finished their papers and could breathe a sigh of relief, were attacked by Rong Ziyan’s advertisement while still lying in bed.

And there it was, the video posted by Rong Ziyan, with the background music of “A Bite of China.” Rong Ziyan had even specially recorded the sound of the salted duck egg being cut open.

The sharp tip of the knife broke through the resistance of the eggshell. The moment it pierced the soft egg white, the red oil with its unique fragrance from the yolk gushed out, making people want to suck it up in one go.

Next, Rong Ziyan scooped out the yolk and evenly spread it in the center of a bowl of plain porridge, adding some pork floss and a little bit of preserved mustard greens.

Then, he evenly mixed the porridge and took a spoonful to eat.

The freshness of the salted egg yolk, the crispiness of the pork floss, and the soft and refreshing taste of the preserved mustard greens, with them as enhancement, even the plain porridge became mouthwatering.

Eight top students: …

[Hunger Value: 3000]

Rong Ziyan, upon hearing the system message, knew his strategy had been effective and successful. He quickly asked them, “Really not going to try one? Porridge in the morning, steamed buns and rice at noon, instant noodles and self-heating hotpot for late-night snack.”

“This is a versatile salted duck egg. In trial operation, available for single sales, wholesale is cheaper.”

The eight top students were silent for a long time before one finally asked, “How much is it with free shipping?”

Rong Ziyan: “We are all brothers, I’ll give you a cheaper price.”

The eight thought Rong Ziyan was going to say free shipping.

But Rong Ziyan said, “I’ll save you the packaging fee, you pay a basic shipping fee. I’ll also throw in a small bag of salted fish for you to try.”

So it didn’t mean free shipping after all?

This kind of profiteer really!

[Dissatisfaction Value: 999]

However, the images in the video kept replaying in their minds, and since they hadn’t eaten yet, their empty stomachs kept growling. They couldn’t help but want to surrender to the evil forces.

[Hesitation Value: 888]

Rong Ziyan seized the opportunity and continued his pitch, “Come and buy it, old buddies. Investing in salted duck eggs is definitely not a loss.”

So, a minute later, these eight top students had inexplicably given money to Rong Ziyan, averaging ten salted duck eggs per person.

Even the top student from the mechanical engineering department had inexplicably added five salted fish.

Rong Ziyan was very enthusiastic, “First big customer, I’ll give you a small bag of fried salted fish as a sample.”

After saying that, Rong Ziyan stopped chatting with a “I’m going to pack and ship your orders” and disappeared from the group.

He was like a scumbag after a one-night stand, pulling his pants up and running away, extremely heartless, and, what a bastard, hadn’t even paid the hotel bill.

The eight top students looked at each other in the group, beginning to doubt their life choices.

They had discussed it all. As soon as Rong Ziyan entered the group, they would give him a good roasting and let him know that being such a jerk wouldn’t make friends. Then they would reconcile and have deeper interactions. After all, Rong Ziyan was capable, and other than being an everyday jerk, his character was quite strong, suitable to be a close friend.

As a result, they had made full preparations and even discussed how to respond after Rong Ziyan spoke, but they still lost?

They even paid money to buy the nameless salted duck eggs that Rong Ziyan was selling?

The same salted duck eggs that Rong Ziyan ate every morning while they were working on their papers, making them feel angry to the point of stomachaches?

Instantly, their resentment value increased by several hundred.

Rong Ziyan: Sigh, these are people of genuine feelings!

Then he took the time to say something in the group, “Don’t worry, we’re in the same city, the salted duck eggs will arrive tomorrow after I ship today.”

So were they worried about the salted duck eggs? The eight felt a mouthful of old blood stuck in their throats, almost choking them to death.

The female top student who had previously been asked by Rong Ziyan if she needed an ambulance, only to be so angry that she jumped off the hospital bed, said through gritted teeth, “Heh, this guy is definitely the type of dead straight man who won’t find a girlfriend in his entire life.”

The top student from the mechanical engineering department was curious, “How do you know?”

The female top student sneered, sending a photo, “I can bet he absolutely can’t tell the difference between these two lipsticks.”

Two very bright reds appeared in the picture.

The chat group, which had been lively, suddenly quieted down for a few seconds.

“What? Am I wrong?”

“It’s not that you’re wrong,” the other five boys in the group were confused, “It’s mainly that we can’t tell either!”

Just then, Rong Ziyan saw the reply and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not color blind. One is Kung Pao Chicken color and the other is Spicy Chicken Diced color!”

The boys suddenly understood: “Damn! That makes sense! You’re so good, boss!”

The female top student: “Completely shut down. Rong Ziyan and dogs are forbidden to talk to me.”

[Depression Value: 1111]

The system was disappointed: That girl is extremely beautiful, with big eyes, a small face, and long legs. You just missed a cute girl.

Rong Ziyan said righteously: Don’t be fooled by her appearance. Legend has it, the girls in the landscaping department can uproot big trees with their bare hands. They are very strong!

System: Rong, if you can find a wife in your lifetime, I’ll do a handstand and eat ten pounds of shit.

Rong Ziyan obviously didn’t think so. He currently had nothing to his name, so how could he have the resources to marry a wife? It would only be delaying a good girl. After a few years of hard work, when he has a business, and his life is settled down, when he could take on the responsibilities of a family, then he would find a like-minded girl. That would also be quite nice.

The system was suddenly curious: Host, what kind of girl do you like?

Rong Ziyan thought about it: Someone talented and can act cute?

System: … Mmp, isn’t that just setting yourself up to be single for life?

Which girl would be willing to act cute with a dog straight man like you? Damn it!

No matter how much the system collapsed, Rong Ziyan calmly packed the salted duck eggs he sold today.

At the same time, after sending out the first batch of deliveries, Rong Ziyan also took the time to visit the village chief, and told him about his plan from yesterday.

“As you know, I’m more of an academic type and will focus on academic research in the future. Keeping the recipe would be keeping it. It would be better to take it out and make something with the people of our village.”

“It might not make a lot of money, but it would be best if it could improve everyone’s economic situation.”

“Is that appropriate?” The village chief hesitated.

He had eaten Rong Ziyan’s salted duck egg before and knew that the taste was quite unique. Not only did it surpass the ones made by the villagers, but even those common in the market couldn’t compare to the ones Rong Ziyan made.

Almost every family in the village raised ducks, and sometimes they had too many duck eggs that they couldn’t sell, sometimes they would just spoil in their homes. So there was a moment when the village chief had considered it as well. But he considered that it was Rong Ziyan’s unique recipe, and Rong Ziyan was alone and not having it easy. If he spoke up it would be like threatening Rong Ziyan, so he had kept silent.

He had never expected that Rong Ziyan would bring it up himself.

Therefore, the village chief was also very grateful to Rong Ziyan. Rong Ziyan then handed over the recipe to the village chief, and the two carefully discussed it. The village chief gave suggestions for profit sharing.

“How about this, of the total price of the sold salted duck eggs, Doctor Rong, you take 30 percent? In addition, the ones that you sell yourself, all the money is yours, we will give you 30 percent of what we sell.”

After all, the village still needed money for raw materials. Thirty percent was already quite high.

But Rong Ziyan shook his head, “Thirty percent of the net profit is enough. We are doing e-commerce to make the villagers earn more money. If it’s 30 percent of the total price, it is no different from selling directly to factories.”

“Also, the trademark here still needs to use the village’s channels. I’m just contributing technology.”

That was what he said, but in fact, if it wasn’t for Rong Ziyan’s recipe, many of the villagers’ duck eggs would probably not be sold.

So in the end, it was still Rong Ziyan who was thinking of everyone.

The village chief took a deep breath, silent for a long time, and finally patted Rong Ziyan on the shoulder and said, “Doctor Rong, I’ll say this, you will always be one of our villagers!”

Rong Ziyan also smiled, “Haven’t I always been?”

The village chief also laughed, “Yes, yes, always!”

[Intimacy Value: 2999]

His character and medical skills were top-notch, he really hadn’t misjudged him! The village chief thought in his heart, giving Rong Ziyan an additional two thousand of gratification.

The system was very sad and confused about what it should do. The old man who gained intimacy with the host had increased again today.

Luckily, this time, Rong Ziyan focused on the follow-up marketing of e-commerce and did not continue to stimulate the system, letting it off the hook.

With the previous groundwork, the subsequent plans became smoother.

At noon, the village committee’s loudspeaker broadcast again, calling several large duck farmers in the village and the owner of the snack shop to the village committee for a meeting. Rong Ziyan knew that the village chief was planning to formally prepare for the salted duck egg business.

Before long, the whole village knew that Rong Ziyan had told the village chief the salted duck egg recipe and wanted to cooperate with the whole village.

[Gratitude Value of 1999 from Villager Li Hanhan], [Gratitude Value of 2000 from Villager Wang Zhu]…

The villagers were simple. Whether or not they could earn money was a matter for later. But for now, Rong Ziyan had this intention, which made them very grateful to Rong Ziyan.

System: The desire for having a partner has reached its critical point. Do you want to take him as a minion?

Rong Ziyan: No.

System: This time it’s not just a few, but almost the entire village!

Rong Ziyan: Wake up. Starting a cult, are you afraid I won’t die early enough?

The system was silent for a while, feeling that Rong Ziyan had a point, and decided that in the future it would ignore and block all similar options.

This isn’t a xuanhuan world. The route of taking minions is too inconsistent with the core values!

So, in the midst of busyness, time quickly passed into the afternoon.

After discussing with the villagers, the village chief came to see Rong Ziyan again to talk about the specifics. Several big duck farmers in the village had agreed to try Rong Ziyan’s method, and as for the trademark, the village chief could take care of that. What was left was the sales channel.

“Doctor Rong, what about the sales? Everyone here doesn’t really understand e-commerce!” The village chief was also worried. It was his first time, and he hoped Rong Ziyan could set an example for them so that it would be convenient to follow.

Rong Ziyan thought about it, and a word suddenly popped into his mind, “WeChat business.”

WeChat business was currently one of the most widespread marketing methods in e-commerce, relying on WeChat Moments to share. Although it was a bit of a disturbance, it was effective. Especially since some of the villagers had gone out to work or study, if these people were willing to share on WeChat, it was estimated that the first wave could be sold quickly.

After all, their salted duck eggs were not only great in color, aroma, and taste, but were also cheap and easy to store.

The village chief immediately understood, “Then can we also use Douyin?”

“Like those people who go out to sea to catch seafood, like ‘double tap and give a little heart,’ we can make some videos?”

Rong Ziyan nodded, “I think so!”

The village chief, after being confirmed, also started to think quickly, “Then we have to find someone good-looking to record videos.”

The village chief made up his mind, immediately deciding to find a suitable person to film videos in the village. He had already thought of the position. It would be like the public relations that city companies have!

The village chief planned to find several, and the person with the most video views and the best promotional effect would be promoted to public relations officer.

And Rong Ziyan, after talking with the village chief, had also secretly set his eyes on his phone.

Rong Ziyan felt that he could do something now.

So, he entered his WeChat. Rong Ziyan looked at his friend count, more than 600 people, 80 percent of whom were university classmates. Almost the entire veterinary department was on the list.

He had to thank the person who created the department group early on. At that time, when university just started, Rong Ziyan was good-looking, and had the reputation of a top student. Many people chose to add Rong Ziyan first when expanding their contacts.

However, for the next three years, these people had been quietly lying on Rong Ziyan’s list, almost never speaking.

But now… it was time for them to shine!

Calculating the time, Rong Ziyan uploaded the video to his Moments.

On this evening at six o’clock, when the students of the veterinary department opened WeChat to browse their Moments, they all simultaneously saw Rong Ziyan’s update.

In the video, the rice in the fried rice with salted egg yolk was wrapped with the soft, granular salted egg yolk, each grain distinct. The cucumber was sweet, and the ham was rich. Adorned with farm-fresh radish greens, it looked very appetizing.

And above the video was Rong Ziyan’s standard advertising slogan: Salted duck eggs, red yolks flowing with oil, perfect with millet porridge. Buy ten get one free, DM me. Plus a very annoying emoji.

A bald little man was sitting upright on the ground, saying to everyone: Take the initiative, not only will we have a story, but we’ll also have kids.
