Her Cultivation Diary

The director was so engrossed in filming on the mountain that he couldn't care less about the excess of landscape shots; by the end, it really turned into a beauty appreciation tour...

Perhaps every commercial director has a heart for the arts.

But this artistic streak was interrupted before noon by a spell.

No other reason, just that Boss Chang came in person, enthusiastically diving into the fields, looking left and right, planning and commenting, already envisioning his own empire.

In a way, when you're the one with the money, you're the one who's right.

So the three of them could only set up the camera, watching Boss Chang walk from one field to another, with Song Tan reluctantly following alongside, looking particularly gloomy.

The cameraman, however, focused on the lens: "I'm telling you, this Boss Song looks really good on camera!"

The director glanced at the lens and was also stunned.

"Could I have been wrong?"

Song Tan's good looks are something everyone notices at first glance, and the director was no exception.

But compared to those celebrities in showbiz whose bones you can practically count, this body would certainly appear chubby on camera.

After all, with the current beauty standards favoring thinness, anyone over 165 cm is expected to keep their weight around 80 pounds; it doesn't matter how they look in person, looking ethereal on camera is a must.

And about the appearance, an oval face without sufficient makeup and styling in today's costume dramas will only be enlarged and flattened by filters.

This is why many girls who look good in real life may appear less attractive in photos.

A director with experience seeing many actors can instantly tell if someone will look good on camera.

Yet now, Song Tan in the lens doesn't seem chubby at all; the facial lines are very smooth, and even only a little different from how he looks in reality.

The director stroked his chin for a long time, finally giving his assessment:

"...A kind of beauty with abundant vitality."

So healthy!

While muttering this, Song Tan in the lens seemed to sense something, turning his gaze towards them.

The director was taken aback for a moment, and a while later, joined the cameraman in viewing the shot, finally expressing regret:

"Take a closer look; doesn't he have a low recognizability..."

Indeed, the scenery on the mountain is more captivating.

...

Meanwhile, Boss Chang felt on top of the world.

Now every unplanted area on the mountain is filled with vegetables, countless in variety and thriving beautifully, freshly picked and delivered batch after batch, he could hardly imagine how good his business would be this year!

The most delightful part is that the entire mountain before him is his source base! Those fruit trees in full bloom now could also be bought out in the future!

Boss Chang grinned so widely his gums were almost showing, but he hadn't forgotten the potential threat—

"That local vegetable vendor Zhao, he wouldn't be able to secure such a quantity, would he?"

Song Tan stifled a laugh: "Old Zhao doesn't pack these up. He only wants a small amount, the rest is procured from the village."

The village's vegetables are also considered boutique items, more fitting in Boss Zhao's store within the local market compared to her high-priced goods.

"And what about the fruit trees? Those guys Qian or Wang, with their dithering over finances, will you not sell to them this year?"

Thinking of the messages sent by the two bosses every now and then, along with their expectations for this year's fruits, Song Tan decided:

"We'll sell."

"After all, they were quite sincere for our first collaboration, and they handled things honestly, the reputation wasn't tarnished at all after selling the fruits."

"This year's fruits, half for you, the rest we'll sell online, and another half for them."

"But the fruits are going up in price this year. If they don't want them, it all goes to you."

Contractual prices differ from shared prices among everyone, so Boss Chang doesn't lose out.

Yet at this moment, he still let out a heavy sigh:

"Selling to those two is so tedious! Why don't you just pack them all for me? I enjoy spending money, plus I offer good prices..."

After all, who wouldn't want more of a good thing?

"Besides, there're plenty of wealthy people at my place! Selling these fruits will move faster than those going to gourmet supermarkets, won't they?"

While he made a good point, but—

"The flowers just bloomed, aren't you thinking too far ahead? We'll see when the time comes."

Boss Chang truly dreaded that "we'll see," worried that by simply observing, they'd be gone.

After pondering for a bit, he asked: "Then the soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes from your fields this year, can I buy those?"

Song Tan: ...

"You can! After we sell a batch online, we'll discuss the rest."

Boss Chang grew dejected: "With the online buying power of your family, will there still be any left after a wave?"

"It's actually unnecessary to sell online; you have to package them, ship via courier, and provide customer service… It's troublesome with no significant profit."

But Song Tan disagreed: "That's Qiaoqiao's venture, now he's achieved some success, of course, we must help him sustain it."

Boss Chang was at a loss for words.

After a moment, he pointed to the large fields of Milk Vetch at the foot of the mountain:

"Let me take a truckload of that back today."

Song Tan: ...

"Don't envy others packing up a truckload, you're picking up other vegetables today, aren't you? Just mix it up with a bit each day for freshness."

"Taking a whole truckload back would mean everything at your hotel revolves around that for a day?"

Since we're not setting up stalls this year, and the Milk Vetch isn't worth mailing, half was contracted to Xin Jun and Boss Zhao.

Xin Jun's family farm focuses different from Boss Chang's; they couldn't handle too luxurious stuff, thus like last year, they contracted a few thousand pounds, providing a steady trickle as giveaways.

It was all about giving people something to long for, but not excessively.

Old Zhao, on the other hand, regularly needed good items to maintain his high-net-worth clients, while also treating himself to something fresh.

Moreover, with 10 acres of rice to plant this year, the paddy fields are chock-full of this stuff, leaving no shortage at all.

And since they were planted in batches, their growth progression varies greatly.

Just waiting for the latest ripening to be harvested, then the remaining older stuff will be collected and taken to the Riverside Beach.

Aiming not to waste a single bit.

Yet Boss Chang sighed sadly:

"Honestly... You can't finish 10 acres of rice, how about selling three to five acres to me?"

"But three to five acres of rice at your place is just a drop in the bucket, isn't it? It holds no meaning."

Rice is relatively easy to mail, and the online community has been waiting for over a year; she plans to sell some.

After all, Qiaoqiao's fans are alarmingly stable, over a year without any turmoil, quite accommodating towards him...

Wouldn't it be right to reciprocate?

However, Boss Chang disagreed: "Who said so? I can make congee."

Song Tan: ...

"When you say congee, do you mean the thick, porridge kind, or the kind where you have to scoop around the bottom with a big ladle to get a bowl of rice grains?"

Boss Chang chuckled happily.

Why not? They even sell rice soup at their place.
