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

Everyone was very happy. It was a great fortune to be able to witness the birth of a three or four hundred year old ginseng with their own eyes.

Daya packed the ginseng in a flat wooden box, fixed it with silk thread, and added moist moss. The moss retains moisture, so the ginseng will remain alive for a short period of time.

"This ginseng will shock a lot of people when it reaches the market, but I'm also worried. If I'm asked to hand it in later, it will be dead." Li Shaoling expressed his concerns.

This kind of situation has happened before. After all, old items that are three or four hundred years old are national treasures and are worthy of being put in a museum.

"Don't worry. When I get back, I'll ask the people in the 750th Bureau if they want it. If they do, I'll sell it to them. If they don't want it, I'll just find a client to sell it to. I won't bring it to the market. Isn't that asking for trouble? Anyway, everyone can get a few thousand dollars, so your work won't be in vain."

Dayong said: "It doesn't matter whether we divide it or not, the main thing is that we can't let others take it away for no reason."

"Absolutely not. We don't bully others. If anyone bullies us, there will be no good results. I'm afraid it will be difficult for ginseng to grow in this big hole. Let's transplant a blueberry plant. I hope it will grow well."

Zhao Hua went somewhere else and found a seedling as thick as a finger, dug it up with the root system intact. It had rained heavily yesterday and the soil was moist, so there was no need to worry about water problems and he planted it in a big hole.

Liu Xia Lian and Er Ya sowed hundreds of ginseng seeds on the hillside. Going mountain-climbing is to take from the mountains, and only by borrowing and giving back can there be healthy development.

Daya put the wooden box on her back. Liu Xialian looked at her watch and said, "It's only three o'clock. This ginseng is much easier to dig than I expected."

Damei said, "It's not that ginseng is hard to dig, it's that you looked too hard. You just came here and found it. It's really strange that you could think of such a place."

"I told you, this is what the giant python told me in my dream yesterday. It said that it has turned into a dragon and left here. There is no use for the ginseng, so I came to dig it up."

Everyone was half-believing and half-doubting. If they believed it, it was too bizarre. If they didn't believe it, who would go to the tip of the cliff to look for ginseng if they were not the chosen one? There was a plant growing on the tip of the cliff, and it was ginseng.

"Let's go back. Pick up any mushrooms we see on the road and bring a few baskets. That way we can look like mountain herders."

It rained heavily some time ago, and the forest was full of mushrooms: pine mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, hericium erinaceus, black fungus, etc. They were everywhere. Everyone put them into their backpacks as they walked. There were only four backpacks in total, and they were full halfway through.

Li Damei was worried: "These mushrooms have a lot of water content now. If they are left at home for two days, they will go bad. That will be difficult to deal with."

"It's okay. Let's find a place to dry them when we get to the guesthouse. We still have to look around tomorrow and leave in the evening. By then, they will probably be almost dry."

When we returned to the guesthouse, the weather was still good and it was not dark yet.

Liu Xia Lian asked the lady at the guesthouse: "We picked four baskets of mushrooms. If we leave them like this, they will definitely go bad. Do you have a place to dry them?"

"The parking lot at the entrance should be good for sunbathing, but there are too many horses and donkeys, so they are ruined because they can't be seen. So, let's do it in my old house. There is a small yard at the back, which used to be the staff quarters of the forest farm, and there is a place for sunbathing."

"Okay, thank you, sister. What should I call you?"

"Don't be so polite. We Northeasterners don't talk like that. Just call me Sister Zhang."

Liu Xia Lian brought Daya and Erya and followed Sister Zhang to a small village behind the guesthouse. There were not many people in the village, just dozens of households lined up neatly.

At first glance, it was a staff dormitory, built in the same way, with three main rooms, two kitchens in the east wing, and a firewood room in the west wing. The yard was quite small, barely more than half an acre. In rural areas of Longjiang Province, yards usually start at two or three acres. The sparsely populated area was no joke.

The bamboo mats for drying things in the yard are ready-made and can be put up to dry quickly.

Sister Zhang couldn't help but be curious: "Aren't you all big businesses? Why are you interested in these small businesses?"

"This is no small business. We just picked four baskets of mushrooms. Look at the hazel mushrooms. The dried ones cost 50 cents, the pine mushrooms cost 50 cents, and the monkey head mushrooms cost 70 cents per pound. Black fungus is even more expensive. The better quality ones cost 80 cents per pound. Of course, black fungus is not cost-effective. Hazel mushrooms, pine mushrooms, and monkey head mushrooms are the only three that can be picked in large quantities. As long as one is not too lazy, he can pick three baskets a day."

Sister Zhang was a little tempted: "According to what you said, if one person picks three baskets a day, wouldn't it be easy to make five or six yuan?"

"It's more than five or six yuan, it's quite high. If you're lucky, you'll be able to pick more valuable Ganoderma. In three months, you can buy a house from a village like yours. We collect high-quality dried goods all year round. If you're interested, you can pick them and sell them to me."

"I'm only free for about half a month a month, sometimes I work the day shift, sometimes the night shift. In a month, I only produce a little over 100 kilograms of dry goods. Judging from your accents, you're not that far apart. I don't think this 100 kilograms of goods will cover the gas money."

Liu Xia Lian calculated that it would definitely be enough to cover the gas money, but there would be no profit.

"That's true. If there are about 1,000 kilograms in a trip, we can send a truck to pick it up. You can be a collection agent and lower the price by 10 cents per kilogram. If you can collect 1,000 kilograms in a month, you can get 100 yuan, which is more than several months' salary."

Sister Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, that's settled. I'll arrange for my family to pick the fruits starting tomorrow. How often will you come over?"

"I'm going to Dachong Town tomorrow. There's a man named Wang there who says he's buying mountain products. I'll go over to see how the goods are. If they're good, I'll send someone over in about 20 days. By then, I'll send a truck. About 1,000 kilograms will be enough to cover the cost."

Sister Zhang asked her colleagues to help watch the front desk. In fact, this guesthouse was basically abandoned. Forest farms across the country were withdrawing from the stage of history, and it was an irreversible trend that virgin forests were not allowed to be cut down.

Sister Zhang now lives in the yard next to where she was drying mushrooms. Her husband, Lao Zheng, did not go to the forest farm today and was drinking at home.

I was in my thirties and I was a bit decadent. I couldn't sleep at night, didn't want to move during the day, felt weak all over, and even had no feelings for beautiful women. I thought it was a stable job, but who would have thought that the forest farm would be disbanded suddenly.

"Boss, there's a guest at the guesthouse, he's here to collect mountain produce, the price he's offering is 20 cents higher than ours. I'm going to have a day off tomorrow, so you can prepare some firecrackers and we'll go up the mountain to pick produce tomorrow morning. If we do a good job, we can make at least 10 yuan a day."

Lao Zheng stood up and said, "What are you talking about? Ten yuan a day, that's impossible. It's not that easy to make money."
