But the faces of the villagers all looked better.

Lu He can kill bears, blind wild boars, and if he has this ability, he can make dozens of taels by selling them once. Why doesn't he kill them? Are you still asking Xu Mengxiao to take risks every day to pick mushrooms?

Although mushrooms are profitable, everyone knows that they only cost five cents per pound, which is not as expensive as meat.

"It turns out that this is the reason why I asked Lu He not to hunt anymore."

"I still occasionally catch some rabbits, pheasants and the like, and come back to satisfy my cravings, but I really haven't sold them for any money." Xu Mengxiao said sincerely.

The villagers were very happy after hearing this. They were originally jealous that they could just go to the mountains to pick up money. Now think about it, it is not easy for them to make money, not to mention the dangers in the mountains. Indeed, they also bear great risks.

"Then why did you spend so much money to buy the mountain?" Someone who didn't react asked curiously. The deed clearly stated, "Two hundred and twenty-eight taels." They all saw it.

"Although we don't hunt much anymore, we still pick up some mushrooms to sell. People don't know what we do in the mountains, and they might think that we make a lot of money there..." She paused and spoke bluntly.

"I'm afraid you'll be unhappy and suspicious, so I might as well buy the mountain. As long as it becomes my own mountain, people won't say anything wrong about me."

People, if you are poor, you will be looked down upon by others, and if you are rich, you will be jealous and plotted by others, so you should be humble and courteous.

"No one said you weren't. You earned your hard-earned money based on your skills." Someone coughed lightly.

"No matter what, I have spent all my savings and can go pick mushrooms openly and with peace of mind."

When everyone hears this, just picking a mushroom costs more than two hundred taels. How many years does it take to earn back the money?

It's not cost-effective, it can even be said to be a big loss, unless Lu He goes hunting, but hunting will take a long time.

Obviously they can go to the mountains to get these benefits without buying it, but now they have spent more than two hundred taels and used up all their savings...

Even the red-eyed people felt relieved. Even Zhang, Zhou and others had to admit that Xu Mengxiao paid too much attention to reputation and was willing to spend such a large amount of money to do things that were not good for herself.

Xu Mengxiao was also heartbroken. She originally expected it to be one hundred taels, but the government officials found out from somewhere that the mushrooms in Taoyuan Township were picked from that mountain, and then they raised the price and doubled the price.

Who knows, there really aren't that many delicious mushrooms and delicacies on Zuoshan Mountain. She took them out from the space herself. She just crossed the road and used Zuoshan to cover up, and it cost her more than two hundred. two.

What she told these villagers was indeed what she thought. It was not pure deception, not for her own reputation, but also for Uncle Li Zheng, who was Li Zheng, and wanted to consider the villagers' thoughts and opinions.

The most important thing is naturally Xu Laoer, whose plan has failed at this moment and whose expression is gloomy.

Xu Mengxiao was in a happy mood.

Xu Laoer couldn't even spend more than two hundred taels to buy the mountain. Even if the mountain wasn't bought, he couldn't snatch it from Xu Mengxiao.

I feel more and more that Taoyuan Township has given Xu Mengxiao a lot of help by making money!

What I hated the most was that this damn girl not only seemed to have predicted what she wanted to do, but also came up with such a grand reason, instantly winning over people's hearts.

Everyone was no longer jealous, breathless, and even felt that the Lu family's food was not so delicious. It was more than two hundred taels, and the total wealth of the whole village may not be that much!

After everyone left, Xu Mengxiao said: "You have also seen that in order to prevent Xu Laoer from taking away Zuoshan and the mushrooms, I must buy the mountain."

"It's okay to buy it." Otherwise, there will always be people in the tribe and village who say how difficult their family is and want Xiao Yatou and Lu He to take them to pick mushrooms and hunt.

If Lu Lizheng were not Li Zheng, he would have pushed them as far away as possible, but precisely because he was Li Zheng and shouldered responsibilities, some things were not so easy to refuse. After refusing him several times, he had a headache. Xiao Yatou simply bought the mountain decisively.

No more worries!

On this side, Lao Xu's family also breathed a sigh of relief. Shan didn't buy anything, so Lao Xu only kept more than two hundred taels in his pocket.

Although they won't be able to get the money for a while, they will need it sooner or later!

Seeing their delighted expressions, Xu Laoer's face became more and more gloomy, "Do you know why Xu Mengxiao can succeed again and again?"

"Is this a success? This is being taken advantage of! There is no difference between them buying a mountain and not buying a mountain, yet they spent so much extra money!"

"Ignorant! What do you know? She bought the mountain just to prevent me from buying it! In this way, all the mushrooms in Taoyuan Township are in her own hands, otherwise I can cut off her financial path with Taoyuan Township. It's gone. It’s not easy for us to deal with her!”

The Xu family was stunned for a moment, and You said unconvinced, "Aren't mushrooms everywhere? Why do you have to buy this mountain?"

"No, I haven't seen many of the mushrooms in Taoyuan Township elsewhere. I'm afraid they are only found in Zuoshan. I don't know how she discovered them and discovered so many ways to eat them, and they became Taoyuan Township's signature dishes."

"Then if you have the guts, go to Zuo Mountain to collect it. She won't watch such a big mountain every day." Zhou said matter-of-factly. Of course, she also had her own little thoughts. If something happened to Xu Laoer on the mountain, , those two hundred taels will become theirs!

How could Xu Laoer not see their little thoughts, his expressions were cold, they were a bunch of idiots!

Such a small profit is naturally not worth his efforts. As long as he takes Taoyuan Township, Xu Mengxiao will lose this mountain in his hands.

At that time, it is not impossible to sell it directly to yourself at a low price.

What's more, there are many recipes in Taoyuan Township, and there are many dishes that don't require mushrooms.

Xu Mengxiao seemed to have guessed Xu Laoer's trick. In the afternoon, he called two families to discuss how to develop Zuoshan's value.

“Originally, if I bought it for one hundred taels, I might just do nothing and just pick some delicacies and game. But now that I have spent more than two hundred taels, I have to see what else I can do to generate more income. "

Lu Hai was the first to propose, "From now on, you can hunt as you please, and the wood that you originally had to buy with money is now yours. Don't Uncle Li De's waterwheels use a lot of wood?"

Xu Mengxiao's original intention was not to let too many people get close to Zuoshan. On the one hand, it was dangerous, and it was also easy for her secrets to be exposed.

"They buy well in other places, and they have their purchasing channels. It is not easy to interrupt their cooperation. It is not safe to go to Zuoshan to log wood often."

Lu He also said: "You can continue to hunt prey, but the amount must be appropriate, otherwise it will not be conducive to the reproduction of animals."

It's okay for him to hunt some from time to time and bring them home to eat, but if he really wants to make a living from this, the price of large beasts is high, but the quantity is extremely limited, and small prey can't be sold for much, so it's better to do other things. .

"I don't agree with hunting often. Lu He's body needs more rest." Xu Mengxiao thought about giving him acupuncture recently. This set of acupuncture has a drawback. People will become weaker, but it can also relieve the pain in the body. Toxins affect his organs.

"Then this won't work, and that won't work either. Wouldn't it be a loss if I bought the mountain?"
