Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 60 Business
Buckets of miscellaneous fish are poured into the bluestone pond. Once in the water, various fish start to seize the territory according to their habits.

White stripes and squid occupy the water surface, grass carp occupy the middle layer, and season flowers, carp, crucian carp and catfish occupy the bottom of the water.

The water in the pond comes from Bailongtan in the backyard. The water quality is clean and clear, and the sunlight can be cast directly to the bottom of the pond. Standing by the pond, you can clearly see all kinds of fish playing and preying, making the originally deserted pond full of vitality.

After pouring down the last bucket of miscellaneous fish, Fu Sheng looked at the fish scurrying about in the pond, and couldn't help but secretly startled.

There were so many fish, but none of them died.

Hell.

Li Hongbing greeted with a smile while holding a bucket.

"Fusheng, don't leave later, Dahua and the others have just caught a few wild animals, and later they will let the wild apricots be made into stewed pheasant with mushrooms, and then a piece of fish. Let us have a good drink."

"That won't work, Yuzhi is still at home waiting for me to go back." Fu Sheng waved his hand and refused.

"It's okay, let the idiot go and call Yuzhi to come with him, just in time to call Tie Zhu and the others, so it's a welcome for Teacher Cui."

While talking, Li Hongbing didn't give Fusheng another chance to refuse, and ordered Shawa to go to the village to invite someone.

The mushrooms picked weigh several hundred catties, and it is impossible to eat them all. The industrious mangosteen moved out the bamboo mat from the utility room, and spread the mushrooms on the bamboo mat. If the weather is good, it can be dried in three days. Dry.

Dried mushrooms have more umami and fragrance than wet mushrooms, and they are also durable to storage. As long as they are well preserved, they can be eaten all year round.

At this time, Sister Cui's mood has calmed down. To put it bluntly, she has figured it out. In the past two days, she has seen everything that should be seen and should not be seen for medical treatment.

As long as you keep your position well, you can let Li Hongbing suffer.

Besides, it's not normal for women to cheat.

Thinking of this, Sister Cui smiled again and helped Shan Xing dry the mushrooms.

Women drying mushrooms.

Li Hongbing and Fu Sheng disemboweled the pheasants and hares caught by the pups, plucked their hair and took their internal organs.

While working, while chatting.

"Uncle Hongbing, why are you drying so many mushrooms, can you eat them all?"

"Eat slowly, it won't spoil if you let it go, and give it away if you can't finish it."

Li Hongbing threw a pheasant into hot water to scald its feathers, and then eviscerated another pheasant that had been molted, pulled out the internal organs from the chicken's belly, and threw them to the pups.

"There are so many mushrooms in the meadow, why don't the villages pick them? Wild dried mushrooms are quite valuable when sold in the city."

Fu Sheng was busy skinning the hare without raising his head, "It's valuable, but we can't find a way."

"A few years ago, Lao Gen made a few sacks of dried mushrooms and sold them in the city. He was confiscated before he sold them, saying that he set up a stall at will to affect the appearance of the city. In the end, even the scales were confiscated, and he was fined 50 yuan. Lao Gen is furious."

Ugh!
Li Hongbing sighed helplessly, this kind of thing often happens in cities.

"Then you can't see so many good mushrooms in vain if you don't do business to make money."

"It's okay. Every year, dealers come to the village to collect mushrooms, but the price is a bit low, but it's okay. These mushrooms are originally rewarded by God. It's a little less to earn a little, so you can feel at ease and save trouble."

"How much is charged per catty?"

"5 yuan, depending on the quality, the quality and size are lower, and I sold more than 200 catties last year, just to save money, what to say."

It costs 5 yuan a catty of dried mushrooms, and the payment is also paid.

What a black heart.

What's the difference between this and grabbing.

Wild dried mushrooms can be sold for hundreds of kilograms in Mingzhu City, and the supply exceeds demand.

Looking at the mushrooms drying on the bamboo mat, Li Hongbing made a decision in his mind.

……

"Uncle Red Soldier, I'm here."

"A lot of mushrooms, you went to the meadow."

"Hey, the big flowers are getting bigger again, and they are eating pig feed."

"Uncle Hongbing, your vegetable garden is not bad, and the vegetables grow really strong."

"While the old men go, the girls will also do the work, so it's not ashamed."

Lao Gen, Tie Zhu, Dakui, and Shui Sheng led the wife into the courtyard gate.

Seeing the overgrown vegetables in the vegetable garden, the bent branches of the fruit trees, and the dense schools of fish in the pond, I couldn't help but scream.

As soon as the women appeared, they took over Li Hongbing's job, and welcomed Teacher Cui's appearance.

A few gentlemen sat under the old oak tree, drinking tea, smoking and bragging, very comfortable.

At this time.

Li Hongbing expressed his thoughts.

"I plan to buy dried mushrooms in the village, so that the big guys can earn more money."

Dried mushrooms?

Several old men looked at each other with blank faces.

Tie Zhu was the first to speak, "What kind of mushrooms do you want? If Uncle Hongbing wants to eat, I'll get it for you when I go back. I still have a hundred catties at home."

"Yeah, I also have them at home, and I'll bring them to you later."

"They're all worthless things. I'll go to the mountains and get you some pine mushrooms some other day. They'll taste delicious."

A few old men, you talk to each other, and what you say is whether you want money or not.

Li Hongbing knew their good intentions, but in business, one yard is worth one yard, and it is definitely not enough to take it for nothing. First establish a good rule, and then the villagers will poke their backs in the future.

"I'm not kidding, it's true. Let's say, dried mushrooms cost 30 yuan a catty, regardless of size or color."

30 a catty.

Be nice!

The dealers from outside only gave 5 yuan a catty, and Uncle Hongbing directly doubled it six times.

"Is it too much? Just give me 10 yuan." Lao Gen said cautiously, his eyes brightened.

"As much as you want, Uncle Hongbing, if you really accept dried mushrooms, you can pay the dealer's price of 5 yuan a catty." Dakui strongly objected, and then Tie Zhu followed closely, "Giving money means looking down on me."

The two had a good relationship with Li Hongbing because of their medical treatment, while Shuisheng and Fusheng were very interested in the purchase price of 30 yuan a catty, but after hearing what the old man said, they could only hide their disappointment in their eyes.

Li Hongbing put away his smile, and raised his hand to signal Dakui and Tie Zhu to stop talking.

"I really want to do this business. My second brother-in-law runs a supermarket in the city. There are many channels and fast distribution. If you charge 30 yuan a catty, you may lose money or you may make money, but I can guarantee that the goods When payment is made, there will be no default.”

"Okay, don't talk about giving it away anymore. I want to eat and get it directly at your house. You are still reluctant to give it away. This is settled. Go back and tell the villagers that everyone can earn some pocket money before the rainy season. money."

"By the way, the mushrooms should be dried and packed separately according to the species."

After speaking, Li Hongbing got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Leaving a few old men to look at me, I look at you, and the look of joy slowly climbed up the old face full of gullies.

In fact, as early as when he was killing chickens, Li Hongbing had thought about this matter all over the place.

Can this business make money?

The answer is that you can earn, and you can earn a lot.

Dried mushrooms are sent back to the city, re-screened, and put into exquisite packaging bags. They can become wild game delicacies on the dining tables of urban people, and the price will naturally not be cheap.

Conversely, the purchase price of 30 per catty is very high in forest areas.

Based on the calculation of 10 catties of fresh mushrooms and one catty of dried mushrooms, one person can easily pick 100 catties of mushrooms all day long, and 10 catties of dried mushrooms can be sold for 300 yuan. Can break a thousand.

If you want to ask why you can go to the city to sell, the villagers can also go to the city to sell, so that there is no middleman to make the difference.

Yes, of course, anyone can go to the city to sell.

But the people in the village don't have sales channels, and they don't know what channel is king.

On the way out of the mountains and into the city, eating, drinking, lodging and transportation, plus the loss of the journey, and various inspections and evictions, it may not be possible to sell the price after a toss.

As for why he didn't do business in partnership with the villagers.

Ha ha!

Business is business, no personal relationships involved.

Even Confucius once said, don’t worry about scarcity but inequality, don’t worry about poverty but anxiety, not to mention the villagers who can argue all day over trifles.

If you simply use three words to answer.

Why! !

I contribute money, I contribute, I contribute channels, and the money earned is shared equally.

Is there such a beautiful thing in the world?
