Li Damei was startled: "This big dog is quite fierce, can you control it?"

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "It's okay. The man-eating tiger in the forest farm has been killed. Why would you care about a dog?"

As he was talking, the door opened by itself, as if it was playing a trick on him.

This big dog is really big, about the same size as Dahuang, about 70 kilograms, with black hair on its back, brown limbs and belly, and long hair on its ears that droop naturally. When it sees a stranger coming, it bares its teeth, barks, and pounces on him.

Liu Xia Lian stretched out her hand: "Come on, little darling, sit down."

The fish ball that the dragon brought yesterday morning had been refined in the green python's body for decades, and it was given to Liu Xia Lian after it turned into a dragon. It can be called a dragon ball. Although it is only a dragon's dragon ball, its pressure should not be underestimated.

The big dog was very ferocious at first, but when it was halfway through its pounce, it suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure. The people in front of it seemed like extremely ferocious tigers, so it had to lie down obediently and crawl on the ground.

Liu Xia Lian gave it a head pat, patting its big head and big ears.

"So good, so good. Go and call the master."

The three of them did not go in, but waited at the door for the big dog to get Liu Xia Lian's permission and then go back to call for help, barking loudly.

After a while, Wang Hong came over with the thin man from yesterday.

"My big dog has a very bad temper and dares to pounce on anyone he sees. I didn't expect him to be so well behaved when he saw you. It's really strange."

Li Damei said: "My sister is a tiger-hunting hero. She has hunted several man-eating tigers."

"No wonder. He has a murderous aura that would scare any dog. Come in." Wang Hong extended his hand and invited the three people into the yard.

The front yard has more than one acre of land, with a small vegetable garden. The red brick tile house has five rooms, with warehouses, firewood rooms, and stables on both sides. The two heavy horses at the trough are fat and strong, and they are good at pulling carts.

Workers and farmers were not rich these days, but those who had land and jobs lived relatively well, and this house was considered a wealthy family.

The living room is very well tidy, but a little messy, with the benches and coffee table.

"Boss Wang, your family should be one of the best in the village, right?" Zhao Hua said as he pulled a chair for Liu Xia Lian.

Wang Hong chuckled, "That was in the past. It's not possible now. I was a lumberjack in the forest farm, and I also did a timber business. Although it was a small business, it was quite profitable. I wouldn't say for more than a year, but I made tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. It's not possible in the past two years. The timber trading business has stopped, and logging in the forest farm has stopped. I'm making fifteen yuan a month now. I don't know what to do with the mountain products business. I just started and I don't know how to do it."

"It's all the same. My hometown is Changbai Mountain. The decades-old state-owned forest farm is also in the final stages of closing. The loggers are planting trees. In the future, timber can no longer be cut casually. You have to apply for permission to cut down your own trees. I came here today for nothing else but to see how the timber you collected is doing. If you manage it well, can we cooperate?"

"Don't worry, drink some tea first."

There was no special tea these days. All of it was common jasmine tea shipped from the south. It had a strong, pungent aroma, so Liu Xia Lian didn't like it very much.

Boss Wang's warehouse is in the west wing. All three rooms are warehouses, with cement floors, glass windows, and dry goods placed in large bamboo baskets on wooden shelves.

There are too many varieties, at least dozens of varieties. But most of them are not worth much, especially the raw materials collected by large pharmaceutical companies, which only make a little more than 10 cents per pound.

"It's important to be dedicated when doing something. Although I have markets for all these products, I'm only buying four varieties at the moment: hazel mushroom, pine mushroom, wood ear, and schisandra chinensis. I'll come and bring a truckload in 20 days. How much can you have?"

Wang Hong smiled and said, "How much I can get depends on your price. We are both open-minded people. What's your price?"

"For the dry goods, hazel mushrooms are 50 cents, pine mushrooms are 50 cents, black fungus is 80 cents, and Schisandra is 80 cents. Are you satisfied with this price?"

Wang Hong has contacted many buyers, but none of them can offer such a high price. You have to know that the average worker here only makes about 40 yuan a month, and 50 cents per pound of hazel mushrooms is the highest.

"Okay, okay, I'm very satisfied with this price, but I'm afraid your requirements are not low."

"Yes, I have requirements for your purchase price as well. I will lower your purchase price by one cent. I also require that the fruit should be dry, free of mold and insects, and that the root cuts should be neat. In short, it should be able to be sold directly to restaurants, so I have to offer a high price."

Wang Hong seemed to be thinking: "Whether it is pine mushroom or hazel mushroom, a large number of these wild mushrooms have small white worms inside. When we locals eat them as protein, we don't care at all, but outsiders don't understand, which is more difficult to deal with. When they are dried in the sun, the temperature is not high enough and they won't crawl out."

"It's easier to deal with a small amount. Put it on a bamboo mat and expose it to the sun. More than 90% of the bugs will crawl out. A large amount can be dried in a sun shed. The temperature is high, the drying is fast, and there is no need to worry about rain."

Wang Hong was stunned. It was the first time he heard that one could dry things in the sun without worrying about rain.

"What is a sun shed?"

"To put it simply, you use bamboo poles, iron wire, wood, and plastic sheets to build a sun shed. The temperature inside is more than ten degrees higher than outside, so you can dry things very quickly without worrying about rain. For example, if you have thousands of kilograms of pine mushrooms drying in the shed and it suddenly rains heavily, you don't have to worry at all because the shed won't get wet."

"This thing sounds simple, but unfortunately I still don't know how to make it. How about making one for my family next time you come to pick up the goods?"

"Sure, I'll bring the workers over, you just need to level the site and prepare the materials yourself."

The price was agreed, and the rest was not difficult. The two signed an agreement, and Boss Wang became Liu Xialian's buyer. In comparison, Changbai Mountain has the most ginseng, but mushrooms are still produced in Daxing'anling.

Not long after the two of them signed the contract, they heard a voice on the village loudspeaker: Wang's family at the entrance of the village would buy hazel mushrooms, pine mushrooms, black fungus, and schisandra chinensis. They all wanted high-quality, dried goods. The price was high, 40 cents a pound. If you have good goods, bring them to sell, and if you have rotten goods, don't come along, because they don't accept bad goods.

Wang Hong arranged for people to go to the village and call for help several times. As a big town store, the volume of goods delivered here is very huge, about 3,000 kilograms of goods in 20 days.

"Okay, I'll send a car over on time in 20 days, and we'll say goodbye now."

The group reached an agreement here, returned to the guesthouse, packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Sister Zhang said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Those baskets of mushrooms haven't been dried yet?"

"No, I'll give it to you. Arrange to pick up the goods as soon as possible. Come on time in 20 days. If there is no goods, there will be no next time. This trip costs a lot of gas."

"Don't worry, my old Zheng has already brought two baskets this morning. Dozens of people are bringing goods to my house. It must be no less than a thousand kilograms."
