Chapter 39 Simone’s Surprising Knowledge
Simone and her three teammates went to the villager’s house to assist in the traditional method of extracting camellia oil.
For many viewers watching the livestream, this was their first time witnessing such a method of oil extraction. Simone and Keira helped steam the camellia seed powder, while Eric and Zac helped mold the steamed powder by hand. Finally, they took turns pounding the molded powder, similar to striking a bell.
Both the celebrities and the viewers found this process rather interesting.
Jacob Poole, the owner of the farmhouse, chatted with the four of them while they worked.
Eric asked, “Does your camellia oil sell well?”
Jacob replied, “It’s not bad. We sell it in town and earn just enough money to cover the costs and labor.” He then changed the subject, asking, “Have you all tried camellia oil before? Do you know its benefits?”
Erie, Zac, and Keira shook their heads. “No, we’ve never tried it before, nor do we know much about its benefits.”
Simone explained, “Camellia oil has a pure aroma when consumed. It’s also rich in nutrients, earning it the nickname ‘Olive Oil of the East.” She went on to explain its uses and flavors in salads, stir–fries, frying, baking, and soups. Additionally, she added, “In addition to being used in cooking, camellia oil can
so moisturize the skin, nourish hair, aid in weight loss, reduce wrinkles, and whiten and beautify the skin.”
Jacob was stunned before he replied with a chuckle, “You know quite a lot, Miss Gray. Indeed, camellia
oil is a wonderful product.” He hadn’t expected this famous celebrity to be so knowledgeable about camellia oil.
On the other hand, Keira was very interested in the other benefits of camellia oil. “You mentioned this oil can even nourish the hair and skin?”
Simone replied, “Yes, it can. In fact, camellia oil is great for hair care. You can..” She explained several methods and effects of using wild camellia oil directly for hair care. “You can also purify camellia oil for skin care or make lip balm with it.”
He said with a smile, “People around here do use camellia oil for hair and skin care.” He asked Simone, “But we’ve never tried making lip balm with it in difficult?”
Is
Simone replied, “No, it’s not. You can make it with camellia oil, beeswax, and vitamins. Handmade lip balm made with camellia oil is not only moisturizing but also safe to use; even children and pregnant women can use it.” She then suggested to him. “I noticed you have several plantations of wild camellia here. There are also quite a number of families producing camellia oil. Actually, you can try making essential oils and lip balms with camellia oil and sell them online. These pure natural and chemical- free products are quite popular, you know.”
Jacob said with a wry smile, “We tried selling our camellia oil online before, but not many people bought it. They prefer to buy from well–known merchants. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be selling it at a low price to those buyers.”

Simone thought for a moment and said, “In that case, you can sell it through live–streaming. Just livestream the process of extracting the oil and making essential oils and lip balms. When viewers see that you don’t add any chemicals and that everything is clean and hygienic, people will buy them.”
Jacob’s eyes lit up. “That sounds like a good idea. If we do it, we’ll definitely keep everything clean and hygienic.”
Simone asked, “You’ll need beeswax for making lip balm. Do you have any bee farmers here?”
Jacob nodded and replied with a smile, “Yes, we do. We’ve got several bee farmers here who produce pure local honey. There are also people in the nearby villages who keep bees, so beeswax is readily available. It’s just that we don’t know how to extract the essential oils and make lip balm.”
Simone replied, “I know how to do that. I can teach you.”
Jonah didn’t expect her to know about these things. The point was, this could also benefit their show: helping villagers prosper would help spread positive vibes. So, he chimed in, “You can advertise your products on the livestream of our show. We’ll share a link to your livestream so that interested viewers. can visit your livestream and make purchases. Of course, there can be no compromise on product quality. If you want to do it, we’ll need to talk to the village head and have them oversee things.” If they were going to advertise their products through the variety show and make live stream sales in order to make a fortune, only products of good quality could be involved.
Jacob replied with excitement, “All of us are honest folks. If we can do this, we definitely won’t cheat. And besides, as Miss Gray just said, we can let viewers watching our livestream supervise us at any time. He had heard his son, who worked outside the village, talk about farmers selling their crops through live–streaming. Some people in the village had tried it, but for several months, hardly anyone showed up, let alone made any purchases. Therefore, they had no choice but to give up on this avenue. And now, with the show helping with advertising, this would be a good opportunity. He was so excited. that he couldn’t even wait any longer; he called the village head and invited him over to discuss it.
The village head was also happy and excited when he heard this. He had been finding ways to help the villagers generate income; unfortunately, the village was impoverished, and they didn’t have any specialty products, making it difficult to find ways to help the villagers become rich. Camellia oil was considered a specialty product, and the village committee had been acting as a go–between to help the villagers sell it, but its price had never gone up significantly.
Soon, the village head visited Jacob’s home, where Simone repeated what she had said earlier.
The village head was very supportive of her idea. This is great! Our village committee will certainly keep an eye on this at all times.”
Simone then proposed, “Actually, it’s not only the camellia essential oil and lip balm that can be sold. through live–streaming, but also other products from your village. You can showcase and sell all of the village’s agricultural products during the live–stream. For example, Mr. Webb’s peaches are not only sweet and flavorful, but they also surpass the expensive peaches sold at many grocery stores in the city. The rice grown in your village is organically fertilized with minimal chemical additives, and I have personally tasted it over the past few days it’s delicious. Additionally, the villagers‘ homemade meatloaves, sausages, and local honey can also be sold through the live–stream. Your village can establish a committee and select one or two individuals to focus on live–streaming. By watching the live–stream, customers can witness the production process of these products on a daily basis, ensuring their quality. The person conducting the live–stream can receive a commission for the products they
sell.”

Nowadays, there are numerous live–streaming sessions aimed at promoting agricultural products, but it won’t be easy to succeed initially Insufficient publicity and intense competition are likely to pose challenges. However, with the viewership that comes from the variety show, they have an advantage. Viewers of the reality show can also become viewers of these live–streaming sessions. As long as the product quality is guaranteed, the agricultural products are of high quality, the prices are reasonable, and there are no hidden issues, their business is bound to thrive.
Evidently, the village head shared the same sentiment. “Our village has an abundance of agricultural products. In the past, it was difficult to sell them, but if we can sell them through live–streaming now, the villagers‘ quality of life will significantly improve. He extended his hand and shook hands with Simone and the others. “Thank you so much for coming up with such a great way for us to generate income. Being astute, he naturally understood that Simone and Jonah were providing them with an opportunity to promote their products through the viewers of the reality show. It would be foolish not to seize this opportunity.
At noon. Jacob’s family warmly hosted the four of them.
The production team went the extra mile to purchase vitamins and the necessary tools for making lip balm and extracting essential oils.
Meanwhile, the village head visited a family of beekeepers in the village and requested beeswax.
In the afternoon, Simone publicly taught Jacob’s family, as well as several other skilled villagers and the live–stream viewers, how to make lip balm and extract essential oils for hair and skincare.
