Chapter 151 Likes to Sleep
Xia Shiyu was just testing the waters today, and there were still several days left before the grape picking season, so he only streamed for half an hour before closing the live stream. He gained a few more followers on his account.
While she was dealing with the grape issue, Zhao Yuan also began to exert her efforts on the other side.
She hasn't had insomnia for a long time since she ate the grapes Xia Shiyu mailed to her.
She secretly changed her online name from "Yuanyuan who wants to sleep" to "Yuanyuan who likes to sleep." Others didn't know what was going on, but she knew it meant that she had gone from having trouble sleeping to liking to sleep.
She was overjoyed when she got the grapes, and ate and slept well every day. But after her insomnia symptoms subsided, she felt heartbroken seeing other people in the insomnia group who were also suffering from insomnia.
Insomnia was so frustrating that she was eager to share the good news with everyone as soon as Xia Shiyu finished growing the grapes.
She clicked into the "Insomnia Patients Group" and started editing a message.
[Yuanyuan, who loves to sleep: Family, I know a folk remedy that can treat insomnia. I've tried it myself, and it's really effective, so I can recommend it to everyone.]
[Huh? Yuanyuan, are you serious? What kind of folk remedy is this? Tell us about it.]
[I'd like to know too, could it be from drinking Chinese medicine?]
Wow, you hid it so well! Tell us now!
[Yuanyuan who loves to sleep: This is a grape product that helps with sleep. Here are pictures and a test report; you can take a look. I'm recommending it because I've actually tried it and it worked for me.]
Zhao Yuan knew that everyone's first reaction to this would be disbelief, so she simply sent out the pictures and test report. Of course, the test report did not directly state that it could help with sleep, but it did state that the grapes were highly nutritious and had no harmful effects on the human body.
Perhaps stunned by her words, no one sent a message in the usually active group for a while.
It took a while before anyone started posting.
[Yuanyuan, your account hasn't been hacked, has it?]
[Are you kidding me? These grapes look delicious, but they're unlikely to help you sleep.]
[Could you have taken some other medication? Grapes are said to be good for your health, but I've never heard of eating them making you sleepy.]
[Are you here to sell products? These grapes are so big, they're obviously been injected with hormones. Did you add sleeping pills to them?]
[Is this true or false? I have some doubts.]
[It feels similar to those tea sellers; they're all just using a gimmick to scam money.]
Zhao Yuan was a little flustered by the barrage of questions, but she really meant well.
[Yuanyuan who likes to sleep: I guarantee that I'm not selling these grapes. Any money I make won't go to me. I can give you the seller's phone number and address so you can buy them yourselves. But this will definitely be effective. Anyway, they're just grapes; it's okay to buy them and eat them.]
I don't really believe it anyway.
Forget it, I might as well just buy the grapes myself.
[Your grapes are too expensive! 50 yuan a pound—you could buy so many more outside!]
Many people are still reluctant because Xia Shiyu set the price at 50 yuan per jin (500g), which is too expensive compared to ordinary grapes, so most people are skeptical.
Zhao Yuan was at a loss. She couldn't force these people to believe her if they didn't. It was just a pity that these people missed an opportunity to treat their insomnia.
Fortunately, although most people were skeptical, some who were on good terms with her messaged her privately.
[Bubble: Yuanyuan, do your grapes really have such magical effects?]
[With Dreams as My Horse: Yuanyuan, could you give me a link or contact information? I'd like to give it a try.]
Zhao Yuan recognized these two as people she was close to in the group chat, and they had even played games together when they couldn't sleep before, so she readily sent them the link.
[This seller hasn't listed the product link yet, but you can add her on WeChat and she can ship it to you. Don't worry about her canceling your order. If you're still concerned, you can buy it after the seller lists it in their shop.]
[ok]
After seeing that the two had agreed, Zhao Yuan immediately sent a message to Xia Shiyu to inform her of the matter, and also complained to her a little about how people in the group didn't believe her.
Xia Shiyu offered a few words of comfort, "This is perfectly normal. There are so many scams these days. You two are just online friends who know each other. If you suddenly say something like this online, people certainly won't believe you right away. This is also a sign that everyone is becoming more cautious."
Zhao Yuan said helplessly, "I meant well, and they could have just bought some to try first."
Xia Shiyu shook her head and chuckled, "It's not that easy. These grapes cost 50 yuan a pound. Buying them casually would cost a hundred or two. Besides, people are worried that I might be using some kind of counterfeit or substandard product that will upset my stomach."
"Besides, you don't need to rush. Haven't several of your group members already agreed to buy it? If they experience good results after using it, even more people will be willing to buy it."
"That's true. So, Xiaoyu, when are you going to list your products in the store?"
Xia Shiyu thought for a moment, the application procedures would be quick, "It'll be in the next few days, very soon."
"That's good. I'll wait for your news then."
"Okay," Xia Shiyu said and hung up the phone with Zhao Yuan.
She turned to look at the picked grapes. Xia Lihua was having the grapes arranged, and a crowd of onlookers had gathered in the yard.
In the past, whenever her family harvested a new variety of vegetables, a lot of people would gather around wanting to buy them. But this time, when they asked about the price, not many people were willing to buy them at 50 yuan per kilogram.
"Shiyu, can you lower the price a bit? If you can lower it, I'll be willing to buy it."
"Yes, yes, the child wanted to eat it, but the price is a bit too expensive. Last time, oranges were only 15 yuan per catty."
Xia Shiyu shook her head, "Uncles and aunts, the price can't be lowered this time. The quality of these grapes is different from before, and they even have a sleep-aiding effect. Eating them helps you sleep."
"Really? It's that amazing!"
Xia Shiyu nodded, "I even got test reports for some of them, and the results were all very good. I plan to sell them online later."
"Buying online is great! Online shopping is so popular now. I think someone in our village used to sell things online."
"You mean Da Rong? She used to sell goods online, but she sold tissues."
"Oh yeah, yeah, that one."
A group of people were chatting, but after learning the price of grapes, none of them had any intention of buying them. It's winter now, and grapes in their area generally sell for more than ten yuan per kilogram, which is already a bit expensive. Now that they're suddenly selling for 50 yuan per kilogram, they're even more reluctant to buy them.
As for their own greedy children, they could only drag them away by force.
