Chapter 67: The Old Watch of Mountain Goods
Qi Jingtao left home in the evening, planning to go to Xiaoxinzhai and Guanyintang in the northwest of the dam to order the chickens and ducks to be ordered, and then go over tomorrow to get the goods. Otherwise, those free-range chickens and ducks are not easy to catch in the daytime, and it will take some effort to eat good things.
Riding a bicycle onto the road, I hadn't gone far when I encountered a sudden shower. June day, child's face. The weather changes quickly, and the sun and rain alternate frequently. Especially in the plateau basin area of central Yunnan, local showers come quickly, which is also one of the reasons why there are many kinds of fungi and special tastes in the Caiyun area.
Fortunately, there is a car repair shop on the side of the highway for passers-by to shelter from the rain, and as soon as I drove the motorcycle to the canopy built by the repair shop, I saw my distant cousin Shi Lei and several young men also sheltering from the rain here. Before he could speak, Shi Lei happily greeted him, "Old Cousin, are you here to hide from the rain?"
"Hehehe, the stone is here, too. Seeing Shi Lei, Qi Jingtao was also very happy, Qi Jingtao's grandmother is three sisters, her mother has no brothers, Shi Lei is the nephew of Qi Jingtao's grandmother, and the two families have always been very close.
Qi Jingtao immediately took out a cigarette and distributed cigarettes to his cousin, who was one year younger than him, and the few young people who seemed to be in the same group as Shi Lei, "Come on, come on, everyone smoke and smoke." Stone, what are you doing here?"
Shi Lei took the cigarette, pointed to the side, and the basket filled with various kinds of fungi said with a smile: "Collect the fungus." Where are you going?"
"I plan to go to Xiaoxinzhai to buy a few small local chickens in their tea garden, and I plan to go to Guanyintang to buy a few old hemp ducks. I didn't expect it to rain. Hehe, where are you going to sell the mushrooms you collect? Is it okay?" Qi Jingtao looked at the wild mushrooms that Shi Lei and the others bought with great interest, the unique fragrance of wild mushrooms was very good, very special.
"If you don't collect much, you will sell it in the state city, and if you collect more, you will send it to Spring City to sell. Hehehe, in our business, it is enough to have a few thousand dollars to do cost turnover. ”
"It should be more cost-effective to bring more to Spring City to sell, right?"
Shi Lei smoked a cigarette, looked at the rain outside the canopy, which was getting bigger and bigger, and said happily: "Hehehe, there are more than 100 kilometers to go to Spring City, and it takes a day to go back and forth." It's inconvenient to take the shuttle, it's not cost-effective to bring less, and it's inconvenient to take the shuttle bus with too much, and it's very troublesome to run a trip. There are valuable bacteria to make a special trip. ”
"I remember that if you have a car driver's license, why don't you sell a miniature car and run it to Spring City? If you can't collect enough cars yourself, you can gather other people's collections and run once a day, and if you want to sell them yourself, you can leave a few people to set up stalls in Spring City. Qi Jingtao went to school in Chuncheng a few years ago, and when he learned about the madness and consumption power of those foodies in Chuncheng, he couldn't help but give Shi Lei advice.
"Hehehe, old watch, it costs forty or fifty thousand yuan to sell a miniature car, a few of us just started to do it, we don't have so much capital, we use a motorcycle to run first, and then make plans in a few years. Shi Lei said with a grin.
Qi Jingtao pointed to the other young men who were giggling and smoking and bragging, and asked, "If you want it, do it step by step." How many of them are your friends?"
"Yes. We are a companion of a village. Hehehe, we Shijiatang moved from the dam to the mountains to live, there are few mountains, and there is usually less work at home, unlike Miluo Village, where you can plant some fruits and sell them, so you can buy a motorcycle to run the mountain goods. Shi Lei said open-mindedly.
Qi Jingtao studied since he was a child, until he worked, and he spent a lot of time outside, so he didn't know much about running mountains, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Stone, what kind of goods do you usually run?"
"What's going out of the mountains and in the dam, what's running. Oh, in January, February and March, the main harvest of strawberries, April and May harvest cherries, spring peaches, plums, these months on the mountain mushrooms out, the main collection of mushrooms, after September to harvest chestnuts, vegetable peas, hehehe, anyway, there is no fixed number, what is harvested, once it can pull a hundred and ten kilograms, casually mixed. Shi Lei calmly said about the business he was engaged in.
"Yes, yes, those mountain goods are not worth much on the mountain, and they are worth it when they are sent out. You also have an income of 100 or 200 yuan a day for running mountain goods, and you have your own place. ”
"Hehehe, it's more fun and free to run the mountain than to go out to help others work. By the way, old watch, why are you going to buy chickens in Xiaoxinzhai?"
"Hahaha, you're dizzy when you run the mountains, it's your aunt's birthday the day after tomorrow, don't forget to come over for dinner. "Qi Jingtao is happy, and there are still guests who don't know that his house is going to have a treat.
"Hehehe, won't forget, won't forget. If I don't meet you, my parents will remind me. Old watch, the rain can't stop all of a sudden, and when the rain stops, it's dark. It's all dirt roads, and it's slippery on rainy days, so don't go. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the foot of the mountain over there to collect mushrooms, and I'll help you do it. ”
Hearing Shi Lei say this, Qi Jingtao was happy. Shi Lei is more familiar with the people in this dam than him, and it is more convenient to get good goods with Shi Lei. Qi Jingtao took out a stack of money, counted out three thousand yuan, and handed it to Shi Lei with a smile, "It would be great if you did it conveniently." I'm looking to buy some mushrooms, and you can do it all at once. You see, there are ten small local chickens in the tea garden, five big roosters, ten old hemp ducks that are more than three years old in Guanyintang, and you look at the fungi, according to the amount of ten tables of banquets and two meals, get some chicken firs, tender green heads, and dry mushrooms are enough. Well, you can use the 3,000 yuan first. ”
"Hehehe, I'll keep it, and when the time comes, I will return more and make up for less. Old watch, I don't dare to eat miscellaneous bacteria. In the past few days, sheep liver mushrooms, big red riding hood, hunger mushrooms, and big black mushrooms are a lot of good times, and the miscellaneous mushrooms are delicious and delicious. Shi Lei was businesslike, counted the money handed over by Qi Jingtao with a smile, packed it in his bag, and made suggestions to Qi Jingtao.
"Hehehe, if you invite guests to set up a banquet, you won't eat miscellaneous mushrooms, there are many people, and miscellaneous mushrooms are not fried well and are easy to be poisoned. "Qi Jingtao also likes to eat delicious miscellaneous mushrooms, but just invite guests to a banquet, don't take that risk.
"Also, it is troublesome to fry miscellaneous mushrooms, and it is dangerous to fry too much and not grasp the heat well. Come on, I'll take care of all this, and you can do other things. If you want anything else, I'll do it tomorrow. Shi Lei has a better understanding of the characteristics of mushrooms, and every year the greedy Caiyun people have poisoning by eating mushrooms.
Qi Jingtao thought for a while and asked, "Stone, do you know where to sell black goats?"
"Just go to the cold pond and go back, the black goats there are very delicious. "Shi Lei doesn't think twice, he has a goal when he opens up.
"Hehe, pull it home and kill the trouble yourself, if you don't kill someone who sells meat, you can buy meat directly. ”
"Old watch, I'll kill, let my father do it, you haven't eaten the whole sheep banquet he made, that taste, tsk. Shi Lei admired his father's craftsmanship very much, and he couldn't bear to be suffocating when it came to the whole sheep seat.
Qi Jingtao patted his head and was happy, "Hahaha...... , how did you forget Uncle Cousin's chef's skills, the day after tomorrow, I invited Uncle Cousin to come over early, and the sheep was handed over to him. ”
"Hehehe, my dad is gone, and you even handed over the banquet to him. Sheep, I'll do it tomorrow, and the morning after tomorrow, I'll send my dad to your house first, and I'll do all the ingredients I need, don't worry about these. "Shi Lei packed the tickets in a big way.
"Good. I'll buy other things in the state city tomorrow, and that's it. ”
