It starts with the production team driving the big truck

Chapter 1522 There is an unexpected gain!
"That's good. I'll go talk to the old man after get off work and discuss something."

Sun Jianping had an idea in mind, and patted Wang Xianmin on the shoulder with a smile, "Drive slowly, don't get too excited!"

"Got it, boss. I'll go over first!"

The tractor started to rumble again. Bai Guiyun poked Sun Jianping, "Have you come up with something good?"

"Well, a little bit. I'll go back and ask Mr. Wang and Uncle Cao what to do with this mountain product distribution center."

"Okay, I'll go to the processing plant and take a look. Once those foreigners leave, there will only be a bunch of young guys messing around. If they break the machines, we'll be screwed!"

Sun Jianping watched Bai Guiyun walk away and scratched his head. Although the processing plant was now up and running and the mountain products distribution center was not difficult to build, the most troublesome thing right now was the goose down!
Garment manufacturing is not as simple as you think!
Another question is, where can I find lining materials that won't burr?

It’s a headache just thinking about it!
He yawned, returned to the county compound, grabbed his horse, and headed straight for the Ji family oil mill!

Wang Xianmin’s father was Wang Zixue, who was Wang Ziping’s cousin. The Wang family of Jijia Oil Mill was a wealthy family. There were nearly a hundred people with the character “Zi” in their generation alone. Just hearing the names was enough to make one dizzy!
"No wonder the Wang family is the largest family in the country. Look at them, they have so many people..." Sun Jianping was riding a horse in Jijia Youfang Village when he suddenly thought of something!

The first thing that determines the size and population of a family is the family’s innate strong fertility!
Even though there has never been any emperor in the Wang family's history, there are so many people in the family!

Among a hundred descendants, at least one will succeed!
Just competing on the base number is enough to support those small families!

As for those small families and surnames, apart from other things, their fertility is definitely lower than those of big surnames!

Seeing him coming, people passing by greeted him, and Sun Jianping returned the greeting with a smile.

In front of us is Mr. Wang’s house. At this moment, the old man is sitting in the yard chatting with Mr. Xia.

"Jianping is here!"

Seeing him coming in, the two old men stood up. Sun Jianping waved his hands hurriedly, "I am so embarrassed. How can I let you two greet me... Sit down quickly, sit down quickly..."

He handed over the net bag, which contained milk powder produced by Ermajia. The two old men accepted it after a few polite words. Mr. Wang's daughter-in-law hurriedly moved a bench over for County Chief Sun to sit down.

"I came here this time because I have something to consult you about. I heard that you were a mountaineer when you were young?"

"Well, I've been through both mountain and water fields." The old man smiled and grabbed a tomato, handed him half and put the other half in his mouth, "Daughter-in-law, pour some honey over here!"

"Eh!"

The fat daughter-in-law ran out again and put a small bowl of honey on the table.

"So you guys go to the mountains just to cut wood? No one goes up the mountain specifically to collect mountain products?"

"Yes, of course there are treasures here. Our mountains are full of treasures. People who pick mountain products..." The old man looked up at the mountain behind the Ji Family Oil Mill. "They are all southern barbarians who come here to pick mushrooms, pine nuts, and hazelnuts... They can pick up a big bag in a short day..."

"So how do they deal with it? Do they just transport it away, or..."

"It's like this. They don't come in groups of two or three, but in groups of ten or twenty. Don't they take care of each other? For example, you go up the mountain today, and I go up the mountain tomorrow. We take turns to cook and watch over the crops. Some of them hide in the wooden houses built by hunters in the mountains. Isn't this a place to shelter from the wind and rain..."

"Then what they picked..."

"They picked too much. Those who had horse-drawn carriages used them to pull the products out of the mountain, and those who didn't had to carry them on their shoulders. At that time, there were several mountain product farms in Nahe. They would go there and sell the products before the mountain was closed by heavy snow. They would then return to their hometown in Guanli with the money, spend the New Year in peace, and come back the next year. They were just like swallows, coming in spring and going in winter..." Sun Jianping nodded. So that's how it was!

"Uncle, you said there were mountain goods farms in Nahe at that time. What were they like?"

"You have to ask this old gentleman about this!" Mr. Wang smiled and patted Mr. Xia on the shoulder. Mr. Xia smiled and said, "You've asked the right person about this. The most prosperous time for our Nahe mountain product store was during the time of Marshal Zhang. There were three in the county at that time. The largest one was called Jushenghao. The boss was a fat man. They bought mushrooms, fungus, hazelnuts, pine nuts... everything, and their business was fair. I treated his daughter at that time, and I saw how they stored the mountain products..."

"You old man, you were treating someone's daughter and you ended up falling into bed!"

Mr. Xia blushed, "Don't talk nonsense, it was his father who chose me..."

Sun Jianping's eyes lit up. This was an unexpected gain!
"Haha, that was many years ago. My second daughter-in-law..." The old man was a little embarrassed. "It was a big cellar. The ground was covered with more than five feet of lime. A row of wooden racks were built on it. A house was built on top. There were several ventilation holes. What are mountain products afraid of? They are most afraid of water and moisture. They are like wood ear mushrooms. They will be finished if they get wet..."

“So how did they harvest it?”

"Some people collect them at home, and some people collect them in the mountains. Collecting them at home is less troublesome, but the price is definitely higher because people carry them from far away... Collecting them in the mountains is cheaper, but those days were not peaceful, and there were bandits everywhere. You never know if they will be intercepted halfway."

Sun Jianping nodded. It seems that the mountain product business has quite a history!

It’s not as easy as you think!
After understanding the general situation, Sun Jianping politely declined the invitation from Mr. Wang’s fat daughter-in-law to stay for dinner, and rode his horse straight to Ermajia!

"Jianping, he never forgets to bring me any goodies he has." Mr. Xia picked up two bags of milk powder and stood up. "I should go back and water the vegetable garden. The radishes I planted need to be watered frequently."

"Well, Jianping is a benevolent man... Old man, please walk slowly!" Old man Wang also stood up, using his walking stick, and wanted to help the old man a few steps. The old man waved his hand and said, "Sit down, you are not as strong as me!"

"Haha, this old man, his words are really choking!" Old Man Wang scolded with a smile and watched Mr. Xia walk out of the house. He sighed softly. He had been through more than a dozen mountain and water fields. It was like tying his head to his belt to make a living. As long as there was a way to survive, who would want to risk life and death?

"Speaking of mountain areas, it is indeed not done by humans. Bandits, hooligans, tigers, worms, and small bites... any one of them can take a person's life."

Back home, Lao Cao was toasting with his father-in-law. When Sun Jianping mentioned this, the old man sighed, "When I was young, I also worked in the mountains for half a year. I cut wood from the mountains and put rafts. These wood floated down the river to Harbin, and that was considered a job."

"That's not a good job!"

"We can only start working after it snows in winter. We use huge logs that are so thick that you can hug them. You can't find logs that thick in the mountains now. We use a big-bellied saw, which two people pull back and forth. A saw blade weighs thirty to forty kilograms. We cut the felled wood into four sides, nail iron hooks on them, hang them on the back of a horse-drawn sleigh, pull it to the weaving field, make it into a raft and push it onto the ice. When spring comes and the flowers bloom, we get on the raft and head downstream..."

Recalling the past, the old man was filled with emotion.

"What about mountain products?"

"Mountain products are a small business, mostly done by southern barbarians and old women, picking mushrooms and pulling fungus, etc. It's a joke for a man to do that!"

"Oh……"

Sun Jianping nodded, "I'll apply to the higher authorities to build a mountain product distribution center in our county to see if we can gather all the mountain products from the Greater Khingan Range in our county. This way, the people in our county will have another way to make money..."

"How did you think of this?" Lao Cao suddenly realized!

By the way, mountain products can also be sold for money!
