In this way, the aunt also got along with the gang and started reselling with Zheng Zhishang and his son. When he went out to collect dried red mushrooms again, his father told Zheng Zhishang that he wanted to add money and could no longer collect them at the price of eight yuan. Zheng Zhishang doesn't have much opinion on this, even if he collects it at eight yuan now, I'm afraid that no one will sell it, but he just told his father that the maximum can't exceed ten yuan.

Although my father was puzzled, he also knew that this price could not rise too much, and the first time it was collected at eight yuan, it only took a long time for it to rise by two yuan, isn't this a cheat?

This time to buy dried red mushrooms, I don't know if my father is absolutely guilty, or what, and did not buy the remaining red mushrooms in this village, but went to other villages to collect, but fortunately, the countryside is inconvenient, although there are already sharp-eyed people, joined the resale of dried red mushrooms, but the number is not large.

The funds are not as sufficient as Zheng Zhishang's family, although there are some people, or find a few people to partner, or borrow money to go to the countryside to collect, most of the villages, still do not know the outside market.

When my father came to collect dried red mushrooms at a high price of ten yuan, a few of them were not competitive, and some asked my father if they would come again next year. It's not autumn now, and the wild mushrooms in the mountains don't regenerate, so if you want to pick them, you will have to wait until next summer.

Regarding this question, my father naturally smiled and nodded, and said, "I will come to harvest after the autumn harvest next year." ”

Because of the beginning of the resale of red mushrooms, all the mountain villages in T County, in the near future, will set off a wave of wild mushroom picking, for the price of red mushrooms, you are competing for me, some days before dawn into the mountains, and the price of red mushrooms has risen again and again. More and more people are picking, and many places where wild mushrooms grow have been destroyed, resulting in fewer and fewer real wild mushrooms.

Even Zheng Zhishang did not expect that it was not until the end of the 20th century that people began to resell mountain goods, but under his instigation, it was advanced by nearly 15 or 6 years.

This time, my father was the same as last time, not only turned all the cash in the family into dried red mushrooms, but also brought back nearly 500 IOUs, and said with a smile: "After this harvest, after receiving it once, this dried red mushroom should be about the same." By the way, I've met a couple of red mushroom dealers like me? ”

Zheng Zhishang didn't know how much dried red mushrooms were produced in the county, and he couldn't calculate it, so he could only estimate the situation purchased by his father, which was very inaccurate, because not all places in the county could produce red mushrooms. Since these things are not familiar with my father, and since my father said so, it should not be wrong.

"Aren't there red mushrooms in other counties?" Zheng Zhishang asked:

"The last time I went to the next county to sell red mushrooms, I went to see it, this red mushroom is only available in our county, although there are also in other counties, but there are not many, and the quality is not as good as ours.

"Is it any wonder there is a tribute?"

It's not that it's rare, if it's not a unique rarity, the county officials who want to come to the past don't dare to pay tribute to the emperor.

Although the production of red mushrooms is very small, Zheng Zhishang still does not dare to be careless, after all, the county, the next few counties, plus the urban area, the market is limited, and it is not allowed to buy and sell privately before, and naturally there is no reselling. Now the situation is different, the market is opening up.

When I found out that this thing was valuable, I ate less and gave away less. There will be more inventory flooding into the market. For this information is not as developed as the 21st century, the value of this thing, but also in the city area, some people understand, take it outside, others do not believe it, how to sell, or plan well.

This time, Zheng Zhishang did not let his father sell dried red mushrooms in this county, since the red mushrooms are only the best in this county, they are naturally sold to the urban area and other counties, the profit is higher than the county market, and it can also avoid competition with the county's resellers.

Once there is competition, it is easy to form vicious competition, fight a price war, and come with good and inferior. Reselling dried red mushrooms, Zheng Zhishang doesn't just want to do it this year, in this kind of mountain village with inconvenient transportation and information, it is really not easy to find a profiteering thing to do.

But it didn't take long for Zheng Zhishang's dream to be shattered. When my father and aunt went to sell them in other parts of the city, the farmers in the county took the dried red mushrooms to the market to sell, and they did not sell very well.

However, some people are profitable to resell red mushrooms, and they are still blindly following the trend to join the ranks, in this village alone, Zheng Zhishang knows that there are several families who have begun to resell in gangs, and even the fourth uncle and the second uncle have come to find their father.

It's just that my father and aunt went to resell dried red mushrooms and were not at home. For his two uncles, Zheng Zhishang was not stingy, and still gave some advice.

As the resellers hid, the number of dried red mushrooms was limited, and some people bought more dried red mushrooms in order to be able to buy more. Regardless of whether there is a risk or not, regardless of the market situation, they are competing to buy at a higher price, and they have basically reached the market price of 14 yuan a catty, and they have actively lobbied the villagers in various villages to sell them the dried red mushrooms at home.

In this case, many people who still want to keep the few dried red mushrooms left at home for their own food are also tempted to use them and sell them all to resellers.

Even some people don't care whether the reseller can pay cash or not, and an IOU is made. Faced with the sudden and somewhat crazy situation, Zheng Zhishang was also worried that his father would also follow the price increase to grab the harvest, but this worry was obviously superfluous, after two reselling, the young father also obviously saw the problem inside.

In addition, basically everyone's dried red mushrooms were taken away by other resellers at a high price, and my father couldn't buy any dried red mushrooms at a price of ten yuan, and finally bought more than a dozen catties at a price of twelve yuan a catty, the quantity is small, but don't worry, even if you can't sell the price, you can eat it for your own family.

Zheng Zhishang's worries are not superfluous, in this era when traffic information is not smooth, even if the red mushroom in this county has been paid as a tribute, its value, that is, the people in the city and the area know, as for the people in other urban areas, they are afraid that they don't even know what the red mushroom is, what effect it uses, how to eat it, and what no one knows, want to sell it In the era of underdeveloped information, the cost of publicity is too high.

It's not at all something that we can afford to do with a small amount of money.

Therefore, the specialty of dried red mushrooms is basically consumed internally in the urban area. Under the influence of the upside-down hawkers, the dried red mushrooms in the hands of almost most of the farmers in the county were gathered and poured into the market at the same time, although the quantity was not very large, but it was difficult to buy them at a high price.

After all, in this era, there are not many people who can afford to buy 15 or 20 yuan a pound of dried red mushrooms, and ordinary salaried families are reluctant to use a month's salary to buy a pound of dried red mushrooms to eat, so dried red mushrooms can only be sold to those high-level elites, and only they can afford this luxury.

The group of senior elites, in this era, is like the spire of the pyramid, which is pitifully rare, and only when there is no competitive pressure can a large profit margin be obtained. As soon as there is competition, it is easy to dry goods, and it is easy to backlog, which is extremely unfavorable to the accumulation of funds.

It didn't take long for the county's market situation to be very good, which is the best explanation, with more people pouring dried red mushrooms, more people setting up stalls to sell dried red mushrooms in the market. In the past, I could sell ten catties a day, but now I can only sell one catty a day.

Some resellers, who had borrowed money to buy dried red mushrooms, began to adjust prices in order to free up the backlog of goods in their hands when there was a profit margin. After some scramble for acquisition, the cost has been grabbed to a very high level, no matter how much the price is reduced, it is impossible to be below the purchase price.

The price of dried red mushrooms is still very high, and it is not something that ordinary workers can afford. Some people began to sell the dried red mushrooms in their hands to neighboring counties, although the profits could not be as high as Zheng Zhishang's father's, but they finally got rid of the accumulated goods in their hands.

There are also people who have stopped, speculation is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the market, this sentence still makes sense, and some people, art masters are bold, although the profits are not as high as before, but fortunately, they have small profits and quick turnover, and they have purchased their dried red mushrooms from other upside down hands, and sold them in neighboring counties and urban areas.

Seeing this situation, Zheng Zhishang knew that the business of pouring dried red mushrooms could not be done. Zheng Zhishang also regretted this, and at the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of the following trend of some Chinese people.

However, as the first person to eat crabs, Zheng Zhishang, his father and aunt, in this poured dried red mushrooms, or made a lot of money, although only three times, adding up to only more than 200 catties of dried red mushrooms, the share of the station is very small, but it is the most profitable batch.

In the end, this month's poured dried red mushrooms made a profit of about 2,000 yuan, of which he only used more than 200 starting funds.

After pouring the dried red mushrooms, my aunt took Yichengli and went home happily. The family has some money, Zheng Zhihao and Zheng Zhixin's food has also been greatly improved, and milk powder is not eaten by changing the taste occasionally.

While continuing to pick up shiitake mushrooms and fungus, my father began to plan for next year, buy a residential land, build a house or something, so that the family of four can have a home of their own.

My father made some money because of reselling dry goods, and he also became famous in the village, no one knows how much he earned, my father didn't say it to anyone, and Zheng Zhishang wouldn't say it to others, but there have been a lot of rumors in the village, in short, my father has thousands of savings, and he is the richest man in the village.

Maybe it was the existence of this rumor that there were some enthusiastic people in the village who helped my father introduce the girl or something. However, his father was very polite, and refused on the grounds that Amin had only been gone for a long time, and the three babies were also young, and he didn't want to think about it now.

Amin is the mother's nickname.

Zheng Zhishang knew in his heart that his father didn't want to marry newly, on the one hand, his mother didn't leave early, and he still let go of his mother in his heart. On the one hand, I am also worried that the three brothers and sisters will be wronged in the future, especially myself, because of my right foot, I have already had some personal offensive mistakes among children of the same age in the same square, what "eight-legged monster" and "eight-legged fish".

It is not uncommon to be stuck in traffic and thrown with mud and small stones by children in the same area. Sometimes a few mink mischiefs will block Zheng Zhishang's road, or kick a few times, or deliberately step on Zheng Zhishang's right foot. Although he is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, this body is still a young child, and his body is so thin that he can't outrun these children.

No one will help Zheng Zhishang out of the siege, and the adults who pass by will sometimes laugh with the children. Once Zheng Zhishang's grandmother passed by, although she saw Zheng Zhishang's eyes asking for help, she also turned a blind eye and bypassed directly.

When the young mother was there, once she saw the footprints on Zheng Zhishang's body, a small injury or something, she was very angry and took Zheng Zhishang to find the parents of those children in the same square to theorize, although in the end those children were also punished, but it could not change the situation of them bullying Zheng Zhishang, but it would make the mother sad and cry.

So since then, every time Zheng Zhishang is bullied, he will clean his body before going home, so that his mother will not see that he has been bullied. The situation did not get better until the fourth uncle returned home after graduating from school. With the little adult of the fourth uncle, those children in the same workshop did not dare to throw stones or mud at Zheng Zhishang, let alone block Zheng Zhishang's road.

They were all afraid that the fourth uncle would beat them. Sometimes, Zheng Zhishang will also joke about the fourth uncle, who is a middle school student, and he is also scheming with a group of muddy little kids.

"Why, you're used to being bullied by them, aren't you?" The fourth uncle instead stretched out his hand to push Zheng Zhishang's head, and taught like an elder: "If they are bullying you in the future, you will fight back." If you can't beat it, take a stick. ”

"Fourth uncle, you're not afraid of taking me badly." That being said, Zheng Zhishang is still very grateful in his heart, after all, there is an elder who can love himself like a parent.

A few months ago, after his mother went, Zheng Zhishang's nickname also had an extra "motherless child", Zheng Zhishang was angry about this insult to his mother's wrong name, and it was also the first time he fought back since he endured the bullying of those children, although the final result was that he was pushed to the ground by a group of children, punched and kicked, and it took a while before he was rescued by an uncle who couldn't bear to pass by.

Although Zheng Zhishang also cleaned up before going home that time, and deliberately changed into clean clothes before his father arrived home, his father still knew about it, and his father hugged Zheng Zhishang that night and asked in a throat: "Does it hurt?" ”

Father's expression is the expression that Zheng Zhishang only has when he sees his mother leaving, Zheng Zhishang shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, they have little strength, they don't hurt me." ”

This year's winter is colder than ever, and in his previous life, Zheng Zhishang thought that snow had nothing to do with the south, but he didn't expect to see a snowfall in the south when the Chinese New Year was approaching. Although the snow is not heavy, the temperature is lower at night.

In the cave, the whirring cold wind blew in my ears, even if I hid in the quilt and covered my body with the only two quilts in the house, I couldn't stop it. Zheng Zhishang was so cold that he kept shivering in the bed, and his sister Zheng Zhixin and younger brother Zheng Zhihao were also crying with cold.

Even if they were sandwiched between Zheng Zhishang and his father, the two used their own body temperature to warm the two little guys, and they didn't stop crying. In the end, my father had no choice but to bring a broken iron pot in the dark, and make a small fire in the iron pot, so that the house was warmer, and the two little ones finally quieted down.

But the next day, the two little ones fell ill together. Father took his younger brother Zheng Zhihao and sister Zheng Zhixin to the county hospital, for Zheng Zhishang to stay at home alone, the father was also very worried, originally wanted Zheng Zhishang to go with him, but there were pigs, chickens, and ducks to feed at home, Zheng Zhishang did not agree, insisted on staying at home alone.

In the end, my father had to explain to Grandma Ding and the fourth uncle. From that day on, the fourth uncle came to live with Zheng Zhishang in the cave. In the evening, Grandma Ding also came once, and originally wanted to ask Zheng Zhishang to live at her house, but Zheng Zhishang said with a smile: "Auntie, it's good for me to live in my own house, and the fourth uncle is also here to accompany me, it will be fine." ”

Grandma Ding saw that the fourth uncle was there, and after explaining a few words to the fourth uncle, she told Zheng Zhishang again, and then left uneasily.
