Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

After daybreak, the danger became less severe, and Li Hu came down from the tree to cook. He simply cooked some wild boar meat with wild vegetables.

It was already past eight o'clock after dinner, and we had barely dug half of the ginseng, with the other half still to be dug out.

Liu Xia Lian said, "After dinner, Da Mei will take Li Hu and Xu Xiong with you. The three of you will dig. Daya and Erya will be on guard and pay attention to safety. Brother Xu and I will collect wild vegetables in the surrounding area. We will try to leave the mountain at noon and head straight to Wanshan Town."

"Okay, no problem. If the three of us work together, we can probably finish the battle in two hours."

Daya and Erya were on guard while collecting wild vegetables. Changbai Mountain was a treasure trove, with prickly ash sprouts everywhere. Liu Xialian and Xu Shiba were picking them with snakeskin bags.

"I heard that these days, some people can harvest more than 200 kilograms a day. It's really amazing. One day's salary is equivalent to one month's salary."

Liu Xia Lian shook her head. "That's impossible. There's no planting in the mountains. They're all scattered. How could they pick so many? Several people must have picked them and put them together, and one person went to sell them."

Four people picked for more than two hours and collected more than 100 kilograms, which were filled into four bags. The soaked fruits were difficult to carry, so they were loaded on horseback.

It implies a bountiful harvest and not returning empty-handed.

There were cries of surprise from the ginseng diggers: "We have found a treasure, we have found a treasure, thank the mountain god for taking care of it."

Li Damei came out holding a ginseng. It was indeed big, with the main body weighing about one kilogram. The roots were at least one meter long, with dozens of them, and it was very beautiful.

There is a wooden box on the horse's back with moss inside to fix the ginseng inside so that it does not shake and keeps it moisturized.

Daya said, "Let me carry it on my back. This horse is naughty. It will be troublesome if it gets lost while running around."

Liu Xia Lian looked at her watch and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock. Let's go out of the mountain. If we see wild vegetables, we can pick them. If we see wild boars, we can kill them. But don't kill other animals. Let's go."

Not far away, we came across a forest of prickly ash. We worked together and collected several more bags. All four horses were loaded with ginseng. We went straight out of the forest and came to another town called Wanshan Town. This is the No. 1 ginseng town in Changbai Mountain. The history of ginseng cultivation can be traced back to three or four hundred years ago. In other places, people grow corn and cabbage in the fields, but here in the forest area, most people grow ginseng, which is called garden ginseng. It takes about three years to grow. A lot of chicken manure is used. A ginseng thicker than a finger costs only a few cents, and the dried product costs only ten yuan per pound. This ginseng is the main force of raw materials for pharmaceutical factories. Drugstores and pharmacies basically use this kind of ginseng.

When they got outside the town, Liu Xia Lian took out the rifle and shotgun and handed them to Daya.

"Brother Xu, Damei and I are going to the market to buy some things. We will be back soon. You guys wait in this grove."

"Okay, then you two should be careful, there are a lot of scoundrels in the market."

Liu Xialian and Li Damei simply carried a canvas bag and went to the market. This market is similar to a giant courtyard, surrounded by shops, offices of major pharmaceutical companies, purchasing offices, etc. In the middle is the ginseng trading place. There is a rule here that sellers do not have to pay stall fees, but buyers have to pay money, a 5% fee. After the transaction is negotiated, find the market administrator to open the order, and the transaction is based on your own eyesight. No matter whether you suffer a loss or make a profit, you pay the money and the goods are delivered, and you are no longer responsible afterwards.

Ginseng is sold by the basket, and the main type is garden ginseng, which comes in both large and small sizes.

As soon as Liu Xialian came in, a broker in his thirties came over and asked, "Sister, are you buying or selling? My name is Guangzi, I'm a broker in this market, I'm very familiar with it."

"Buy goods. How much is a 20-year-old forest ginseng?"

"Come on, follow me and take a look at the goods first." Guangzi led the two to a stall. The stall owner was an old man in his sixties. He had a cigarette in his hand, and his hands were yellowed by smoke.

The ground is densely covered with ginseng, some are ten or twenty years old. They are long and slender, and you can tell at a glance that they are grown in the mountains. They are of good quality.

"How much is this?"

The old man said, "They can be bought for three to five yuan, or ten to twenty yuan, depending on the quality. The big ones over there are from the ginseng fields, and they are more than ten years old, but they are not valuable, three yuan each, and each one weighs more than three taels. These ones over here are more than twenty years old, planted in the red pine forest by the production team, and the lowest price is fifteen yuan."

"Brother Guang, I want all these dozens of twenty-year-old trees. Please pick them out for me. They have to be fresh. A friend asked me to buy them. They have to be able to sprout when I get home."

"No problem, they can even sprout when soaked in wine." Guangzi was still very professional. He carefully selected and got 32 roots, and sold each one for eleven yuan.

Li Damei next to her didn't understand why Liu Xia Lian was doing these things. They could be dug up in the mountains. But she knew that Liu Xia Lian never made a loss in business, so she didn't ask any more questions.

I looked at some other ginsengs and found that they were polarized. The younger ones were extremely cheap, while the older ones were extremely expensive. Even 50- or 60-year-old forest ginsengs could be sold for several thousand yuan, and it was difficult to distinguish between artificially cultivated forest ginsengs and wild mountain ginsengs.

Liu Xialian said with emotion: "If we open a few specialty stores selling Northeastern products in the interior, it will be quite profitable. People in the south don't know much about ginseng, so the profits will surely double."

Guangzi smiled and said, "This is true. Someone opened a store like this in Beijing. The profit has increased tenfold. They buy goods for 50 cents and sell them for 5 yuan in Beijing. They make 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month."

Information is not well-informed these days, and prices vary greatly. This is indeed a good way, but Liu Xialian is not planning to do it for the time being. She will finish the task at hand first and then do other things.

The two of them bought some sesame cakes and cooked food from the market entrance and prepared to take them back for everyone to eat.

Li Damei whispered to Liu Xialian, "There's someone with a bad face, and he seems to be targeting us. I guess he has bad intentions."

"It's okay, don't worry about them. If they insist on following me, then make sure they never forget it."

The two men carried ginseng and food and walked out of the town to the west.

Three people followed behind, all of them were thin young men in their twenties.

Liu Xialian looked back, pulled Li Damei and said, "It's bad, there are bad guys, let's run."

The two people in front quickened their pace, and the three people behind followed even more closely.

After following them for about two miles, a boy behind them said, "They went into the woods. What's going on?"

"I don't know, but wouldn't that be better, hahaha."

The three of them followed him in, but didn't see anyone. As they were looking around, they suddenly saw seven gun barrels pointing at them.

"Tell me, what do you do?"

"No, nothing, I just came to the bathroom."

Erya cursed: "You dare to set your sights on my sister? I think you are courting death."
