Chapter 158: Wild Mushrooms Sold to the City
The location of Caiyun Village is located in a small basin surrounded by mountains, and on the mountains around Caiyun Village, there are several small villages that belong to the mountainous area. Due to various factors such as geographical location and climatic conditions, these villages cannot grow vegetables in large quantities throughout the year, so the land in these villages is a large amount of mountainous land where corn, sorghum, wheat, and potatoes can be grown, except for some paddy fields where rice can be grown.
But because of the geographical location and climatic conditions, this area is particularly suitable for the growth of fruit trees, basically, every household yard, outside the house, or in the field are more or less planted with cherries, chestnuts, pears, peaches, plums, apricots and other fruits.
Since the opening of Yu Mingyue's fruit shop, every afternoon from four or five o'clock, from time to time, there are mountain villagers in threes and threes, either on their backs or on a pack, walking for two or three hours on the mountain road with their family's fruits, and rushing to Yu Mingyue's house to sell goods.
At this time, it is already June, the rainy season has arrived, and the wild mushrooms in the mountains and forests have begun to grow. In addition to selling some fruits to Yu Mingyue's family every day, many villagers in these mountainous areas also brought chicken fir and miscellaneous fungi that they had collected, because Yu Mingyue's family has now begun to collect all kinds of wild mushrooms.
In these years, in this place of Kapok City, there are no artificially cultivated shiitake mushrooms and oyster mushrooms for sale, so there are no other new varieties such as enoki mushrooms and tea tree mushrooms.
Yu Mingyue has not studied the development history of artificially cultivated mushrooms, and she has never heard of this in her previous life, so she doesn't know if there are no artificially cultivated mushrooms in this year, but in the market of Kapok City, no one has sold any artificially cultivated Xianggu and oyster mushrooms for sale, so since her vegetable stall began to sell all kinds of wild mushrooms, these wild mushrooms are very popular, not to mention, the price is also quite high.
The best kind of long-blooming chicken fir bones are 1.8 yuan/jin, and the second ones range from 1.5 yuan/jin to 1 yuan/jin; The best porcini mushroom bone duoer is 1.2 yuan/jin, and the second ones range from 8 jiao to 6 jiao/jin; The first-class chanterelles are also 1.2 yuan/jin, and the second-class ones are 8 jiao/jin; As for other miscellaneous bacteria, the best bones are 8 jiao/jin, and the second is 5jiao/jin.
In recent years, there are not many people in the city who sell mushrooms, but there are still a lot of people in the city who know mushrooms, and when Yu Mingyue was selling mushrooms, she also deliberately told everyone how to eat some wild mushrooms, such as steamed chicken fir with ham, chicken fir meat slice soup, stir-fried porcini mushrooms with green peppers, fried chanterelles with green peppers, dried porcini mushrooms, dried stir-fried miscellaneous mushrooms, miscellaneous mushroom soup and so on.
Yu Mingyue in addition to telling everyone how to do it, but also told people who bought mushrooms how to eat safely, and finally felt that every time someone bought mushrooms, they had to say that it was troublesome, and after thinking about it, they bought a big red paper, and when they went home, they went to find Yu Tianxiang, who was very good at writing calligraphy, and asked Yu Tianxiang to write down the various practices of mushrooms and how to eat them safely.
The next day, Yu Mingyue posted this big notice on her vegetable shop.
Yu Mingyue did this, originally just wanted to save some trouble, but she didn't think about it, even those who didn't plan to buy mushrooms, after seeing the content of this notice, they all started to buy some and try it, Yu Mingyue soon found that after posting the notice, her family's wild mushroom business became more and more popular, and even the green onions, ginger, and garlic that were used to make wild vegetables were also sold very well, and her heart blossomed.
After all, Yu Mingyue was a normal major in her previous life, and she didn't understand the ways of doing business, but there was a way that was unintentionally inserted into the willows and willows, so by mistake, she played a successful marketing example.
The wild mushrooms are easy to sell, and the amount provided by Kong Xinggang, Yu Mingyan and Li Hongmei alone can't satisfy the market, so after Yu Mingyue and Yu Zhiqing discussed, they decided to start buying a large number of wild mushrooms from the whole village.
Only dare to buy a large number of them, when Yu Mingyue and Yu Zhiqing discussed, they had already considered that in addition to pulling the wild mushrooms to the city every day to sell, the surplus could not be sold, so they were ready to dry at home, and after the rainy season, these dried wild mushrooms should also be sold at a good price in the city. After asking for the opinions of Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying in the hospital, Yu Zhiqing learned to set the grade for the vegetables when he bought the mushrooms, and also set the corresponding grade for the mushrooms.
The best kind of chicken fir bones that have not yet grown are set as first-class, and the purchase price is 8 jiao/jin; The long open or inferior ones are set as the second or third poles, and the purchase price is relatively set at 6 jiao/jin, and 4jiao/jin; The best porcini mushroom bone duoer is 5 jiao/jin, long or inferior, ranging from 3 jiao/jin to 2 jiao/gong; Chanterelles do not need to be divided into long or no long opening, and the good 5 jiao / jin, the second 3 jiao to 2 jiao / jin; The other miscellaneous fungi are not subdivided, and the unity is 3 jiao/jin of bones, and the kind of fresh and intact 2 jiao/jin has just grown, and it will not be accepted again.
In those days, there was basically no one buying and selling this wild mushroom in the market of Daping Township, and in the rainy season, even workers who worked in various units in the town would climb into the mountains and forests on weekends to pick up some of the mushrooms.
Therefore, when Yu Mingyue's family announced that they wanted to collect wild mushrooms, and they bought them at such a high price, the villagers who heard the news boiled for a while, and some people went up the mountain to pick up mushrooms at the same time, and also hurriedly told the news to their relatives and friends who lived in other villages.
It's no wonder that everyone is so positive, when the best morning market vegetables in the village come out at the beginning of this year, the price has always been the highest green pepper or something, and it can only be sold for about 3 jiao after the sky.
Therefore, after Yu Mingyue's family began to collect a large number of mushrooms, in addition to these mountain people who like to bring some mushrooms to sell when they like to buy fruits, or bring some fruits to sell to Yu Mingyue's family when they sell mushrooms, some villagers in Caiyun Village or nearby, after they have finished their work, will occasionally go up the mountain to color some wild mushrooms to sell to Yu Mingyue's family.
And now it happens to be the time of the school summer vacation, and the children in several villages who have been on vacation are at least 100 people, some of whom are diligent and greedy, and they gather in groups to go up the mountain to collect fungi every morning.
By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when Yu Mingyue and Yu Zhiqing returned home after selling vegetables, there were already a large group of adults and children waiting in front of her house, carrying various wild mushrooms or fruits.
The adults can sell the money, and after counting it, they will usually save it well, and those children, after selling the money, most of them will go directly to the village public sales house to buy some candy or something to satisfy their hunger. Even if you don't spend all the money you get from selling mushrooms in the sky, you will spend a dime or two or a few dimes generously.
At the beginning, whether it was a mushroom seller or a fruit seller, everyone had nothing to do with each other, but with more and more people selling mushrooms every afternoon, especially after more and more children made money selling mushrooms, there were more and more children who were hungry for fruits and fruits, and finally, there were some children who were bold or knew Yu Mingyue, and they discussed with Yu Mingyue, who was also a child, and asked Yu Mingyue to give them a few catties of fruit to satisfy their hunger.
In the previous life, there was a village primary school near Caiyun Village, these children Yu Mingyue basically knew each other, and they basically joked and shouted Yu Mingyue's "little broom star" or something bad, after Yu Mingyue was reborn, she didn't like to contact the children in the village at first, but later when Yu Mingyue began to collect melon seeds and other things, she had some contact with these children.
In this life, in the face of these children who have never hurt her and still like Baba to take the initiative to contact her, Yu Mingyue can't talk about any hatred at all, so when these children come to her to buy her fruits to eat, of course Yu Mingyue will not object, and at the purchase price, she resells them to these greedy but very diligent children who know how to earn money by their labor.
After this situation appeared a few times, several nimble mountain people also saw business opportunities, in addition to bringing Yu Mingyue's family to buy high-quality fruits every day, they would also bring dozens of catties of smaller, not very good-looking crooked melons and cracked dates, when everyone was waiting for Yu Mingyue's family to come back to receive the goods, these people brought small fruits that were not actually crooked melons and cracked dates, and put them under the big eucalyptus tree on the side of the road in front of Yu Mingyue's house to sell.
Because Yu Mingyue's family is a high-quality fruit harvested, the price is three or five points higher than that in the local market, and these people set up a stall in front of her house to sell small fruits, because the good ones are sold to Yu Mingyue's family, and the small ones are sold cheaper than those in the market, generally selling 1 jiao/jin, or 7 points and 8 points/jin, for a while, in addition to being very popular with the greedy children, they are also very popular with the villagers who come to sell mushrooms.
At this moment, there are more and more people in the mountainous areas who run to the front of Yu Mingyue's house every day to set up stalls to sell fruits, and it is getting earlier and earlier, and Yu Mingyue's house, which originally had no neighbors within one or two hundred meters of the left and right, has become unprecedentedly lively since after noon.
In this way, in front of Yu Mingyue's house, first every morning, there are people who come to sell fresh vegetables, and every day after noon, there are people who come to set up fruit stalls in front of her house, and even those old people in the village who are too old and only take care of housework on weekdays and don't have much work to do and like to like to have breakfast at noon, so they gather at the gate of Yu Mingyue's house to chat and brag, plus watch the excitement, as soon as Yu Mingyue's house passes noon, it becomes as lively as a small market for a while.
In fact, since Yu Mingyue's family began to buy all kinds of vegetables every day, those small vegetables grown in the gardens of the villagers in Caiyun Village close to Yu Mingyue's family in several societies, in addition to eating at home, a large part of them were sold to Yu Mingyue's house for money. So now those mountain people who sell fruits in front of Yu Mingyue's house, the fruit business has always been quite good.
Yu Mingyue was a little entangled when she saw that the front of her house was so lively that it was like a small market.
It's not that she naturally likes to be quiet, but the arrival of these crowds makes her a little worried every day, for fear that when someone with good deeds runs to her house to find water to drink, go to the toilet or something, she will wander around, and then find those fruit tree seedlings raised in her yard.
The fruit tree seedlings that were raised after the year have all grown taller, except for the grape seedlings that have been planted in a vegetable field more than two points in May, the others are still in the yard, just waiting for the rain to fall more thoroughly, and the peach trees, longan trees, and small persimmon trees, which have grown tall, are planted in the wasteland around her house.
As for the lychee tree, it is known for its slow growth, and it only grows one foot tall in half a year, and it will have to wait for next year to transplant, and the pomegranate seedlings have grown two feet high, but they can only be transplanted before the pomegranate tree germinates.
Now I can receive a lot of mushrooms every day, among which those bones that have not yet grown are sold very well, and they are brought to the city every day to sell, but the rest of the mushrooms that are not good or sell poorly are left at home and cut into slices and dried.
But in this way, when the weather is fine, it is okay, but when it is rainy for a few days, the fungus is not easy to dry, not to mention, it is easy to rot and deteriorate, for this reason, Yu Zhiqing had to find Kong Xingming and other brothers and sisters to help, and spent a few days to build a small baking room next to his stove.
Since collecting the mushrooms, Kong Xiaoyu and Pu Xiaoqiang, who helped at home, have also been busy, and every day as soon as they send people who sell vegetables into the city, Kong Xiaoyu and Pu Xiaoqiang keep cutting mushroom slices at home to dry, and turning over all kinds of wild mushrooms that have been dried for a while.
And as soon as Yu Mingyue and Yu Zhiqing got home every day, in addition to being responsible for collecting mushrooms and fruits, as soon as they were free, they also had to help dry the mushrooms.
Yu Mingyue's family made such a big move, in addition to the villagers near Caiyun Village, the people who planted a lot of fruits in the mountainous area, and the Liu Wang family who contracted the work in Yu Mingyue's field, the biggest beneficiary was Zhang Mingjiang (a craftsman who weaves bamboo products) from another production team in Caiyun Village.
However, it is precisely because of the high demand of Yu Mingyue's family that Zhang Mingyue, who has always been known for his kindness and honesty, and his ability to handle things, also gave Yu Mingyue's family a very affordable price, and the dustpan and sieve that originally cost 1.3 yuan a piece on the market were sold to Yu Mingyue's family for only 1 yuan. It turned out that Yu Mingyue had set a small fruit basket of 8 corners, but now it has been reduced to 6 corners.
Yu Zhiqing felt that the price was too favorable, and when he was polite to Zhang Ming, Zhang Mingjiang, who was in his 50s, smiled and said: "Hey, Yu Laobiao, don't be polite, I have a lot of bamboo planted by the river, I also have a lot of strength and the craftsmanship of weaving a little east and west, do you want to buy these things with me, I just made it up and took seven or eight efforts to carry it to the market to sell, and I can't sell a few pieces in a market, and I have to be grateful to your family, these things that your family wants, That's the price.
In the future, if you still want any baskets, even if you come to me, you will be given a preferential price, and you should not be polite to me again, saying that our two families are still old relatives, the more polite you are, I still collect your family's money for this little thing, which makes my old face red and I feel embarrassed. ”
Speaking of this, of course Yu Zhiqing is not good at saying any more kind words, Yu Mingyue was next to Yu Zhiqing at the time, and after listening to these words, he also has a comprehensive understanding of this Zhang Mingqing.
Everyone says that this Zhang Mingjiang is honest and honest, and this kind of person will do things well, but when it comes to some derogatory meanings, it is equivalent to not being smart "honest", Yu Mingyue feels that everyone has lost their eyes, where is this Zhang Mingjiang stupid, people are smart in talking and doing things, and they are also very good at doing business and attracting repeat customers.
Speaking of the large amount of fruit baskets, we also have to mention the business of Yu Mingyue's current fruit shop.
Since the fruit shop has been open for longer and longer, the business of the fruit store is also getting more and more developed, in addition to the people who visit the hospital every day will go to the small shop to buy gifts, that is, those community residents who live in the community, they also often come to patronize Yu Mingyue's fruit shop business, the economic conditions are good is to buy directly to eat by themselves, even if the economic conditions are poor, when going out to visit relatives and friends, they will also come to buy a fruit basket or a gift, let Yu Mingyue use a small bamboo basket with exquisite and beautiful weaving, Then wrap the small basket with plastic paper and tie the ribbon, and carry it away with a lot of face.
What's more, some of the more nostalgic old men and old ladies also like to run Yu Mingyue fruit store, just spend 2 yuan to buy a small basket to use as a vegetable basket, not a few days, the old men and old ladies in the community are the same as the trend, either to buy a few catties of fruit with a basket, or to buy a basket, for a while, many people who buy vegetables in the morning on this street of Changshou Road have mentioned a small bamboo basket from Yu Mingyue's fruit store.
After that, whenever someone comes into the store to buy fruit, Yu Mingyue will add a sentence after selling fruit to others: If it is a gift, you add 2 yuan, and I can also help you make a good-looking and high-grade fruit basket, you see that it is this kind of small basket, with beautiful and high-grade fruit packaging, not to mention, after the fruit is eaten, this small basket can also be used as a vegetable basket. ”
The person who bought the fruit followed the direction pointed by Yu Mingyue and looked down the street, wow, my good man! How can this fruit shop business be like this? Most of the old men and ladies on this street have the same basket in their hands!
After the shock, many people generally ask for a basket to be added, and then pay and leave happily, and after that, many people also like to tell their friends about the fruit shop called "Yu Ji Boutique Fruit" outside the Mugang Hospital, which has a hot business and is scared to death.
As a result, Yu Mingyue's fruit shop, which buys fruits, gifts and other things, is getting more and more popular, and it has been open for less than a month, and there are often people who hear those legends who come to buy gifts, of course, these people don't need Yu Mingyue to recommend anymore, and they will directly ask for a basket, either to make a fruit basket or a gift basket.
Business is booming, and things have become more correspondingly, and in a flash, it was the second day of the seventh lunar month, and Kong Mingying was finally discharged from the hospital after 40 days in the hospital.
As soon as Kong Mingying was discharged from the hospital, he didn't return home, so he followed Yu Tianzhou to move the bedding and other household goods used in the hospital doctor to the shantytowns outside the Mugang Hospital that could not be used as shops, but could only be used as warehouses, and officially took over the work of watching fruit shops and vegetable stalls.
A few days ago, Mei Zhenggang, the son of Mr. Mei's family who worked as an electrician in the wood steel burning factory, happened to be resting at home that day, so he just helped to connect the wires to the four houses where Yu Mingyue's family was going to stay and live, and he also took the lines in the four rooms, installed sockets and switches, and even connected the light bulbs one by one.
Even the water was connected with electricity that day, when Yu Zhiqing bought wires and other supplies earlier, he bought a few circles of bakelite small water pipes, and as soon as the electricity was connected that day, Yu Zhiqing asked Kong Xingming to help, and it took two or three hours to pick up the water from Mr. Mei's house and put it directly on the edge of the courtyard on the side of the four sheds that were ready to live.
During this period, Mei Zhenggang, an electrician who worked in three shifts, has been helping with these things, and has helped a lot. In these years, regardless of the city or the countryside, it costs money to hire an electrician, and the electrician belongs to the technical work, and the salary is not old or young.
Yu Zhiqing gave Mei Zhenggang money at that time, but Mei Zhenggang, who was just 26 years old this year, refused to accept it, and only said: "Brother Yu, you are too foreign, the relationship between our two families is on this, and you still give me money, this is looking down on my brother." After that, he went back to sleep, he rested during the day today, and went to work the night shift at eight o'clock in the evening.
For this reason, Yu Zhiqing was so grateful, in addition to giving a few catties of chicken fir mushrooms and some vegetables to Mr. Mei's house on the same day, the next day, according to Yu Tianzhou's instructions, he caught two big, two small and four rabbits, and sent them to Mr. Mei's house.
Yu Mingyue was a little crying and laughing at the time, this big one can kill and eat meat, it's okay to say, how can this small one be fed by people in the city, the house stinks, there is no place outside the gate, and the rabbit's food is also a problem.
didn't think about it, when Yu Mingyue followed and sent the rabbits to Mr. Mei's cold marinade shop, in addition to Mr. Mei's four-year-old grandson, who was happy, Mr. Mei resolutely did not want two big ones, and only happily accepted the two little rabbits, and specially asked if it was a male and a female, saying that it was to be raised on the roof of his house, and specially asked Yu Mingyue's family to leave him some leftover leaves when selling vegetables every day, saying that his family was also going to raise some chickens on the roof.
Only then did Yu Mingyue know that Old Man Mei's house lived on the fourth floor, that is, the top floor. Thinking about it again, it is not surprising that people in the city who live on the ground floor or the top floor in this era really like to raise some chickens, ducks and rabbits.
Yu Mingyue looked at the gender of the two little rabbits, but she couldn't tell them for a while, thinking that Old Man Mei's family were all generous people, and her family would have to trouble people with water and electricity in the future, Yu Mingyue was also generous, and helped Yu Zhiqing persuade for a while, so that Old Man Mei's family left the two big rabbits as breeding rabbits.
It's just that not long after the father and daughter returned to the store, Mrs. Liu, the wife of Mr. Mei, sent more than two catties of braised chicken feet, a braised pork knuckle, a braised pig tongue and four braised pig tails.
After another period of pushing, he couldn't resist Mrs. Liu's hospitality, Yu Zhiqing had to accept this gift that was not worth the rabbit, watching Mrs. Liu go away, Yu Zhiqing smiled and taught Yu Mingyue: "Xiaoyue see, your grandmother Liu's way of doing things, even if you sometimes suffer a little loss, but no matter where you go, it is commendable, even if our two families are not related, but if we continue like this, we will only get closer and closer, after a long time, our two families are no different from the close relatives around us." ”
After speaking, Yu Zhiqing touched Yu Mingyue's head and said seriously: "You can learn more like this in the future, in this world, it is not only the closest relatives around you that are worth paying and communicating, remember?" Yu Zhiqing has always known that his daughter is good at everything, but she is very stingy with outsiders and very calculating, so she wants to take this opportunity to enlighten herself.
Yu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then had to nod lightly, "Hmm!" "I agreed, but I also had some mixed feelings in my heart.
She knew that whether it was in her previous life or in this life, she was stingy with outsiders who were not close, and even a little stingy and calculating, but she never thought of changing.
Because she knows very well that only if you don't have too much contact with people who are likely to hurt you and are likely to hit a palladium, so that you don't get hurt unexpectedly. After a lifetime, she knew too much in advance and saw too much, so she has been trying to keep her distance from certain people, and even if she doesn't take advantage of these people, there is no need to be generous.
It's just that at this time, when Yu Mingyue found out that she was so stingy in her father's eyes that she needed to be taught like this, in addition to having a small objection in her heart, she also felt a little sad and sad that she was not understood. R1152
