Chapter 28: Ten Thousand Kilograms

The villagers who walked this way were very worried, after all, it was deep in the mountains, and no one dared to guarantee that there would be any accidents.

Although the villagers showed a desire to make money in their hearts, they were still cautious and did not dare to be careless.

Li Xiao agrees with the current mentality of the villagers, picking fungus in this deep forest, in addition to some hurtful beasts, there are other dangers, such as the large ant nest that Li Xiao encountered a few days ago, which is even more dangerous than wild wolves, tigers and leopards.

If you want to go deep into the mountains, caution is a must.

Even if it is Li Xiao, who can drive the gray wolf Ah Da, relying on Ah Da's ability, he can detect danger early, and even drive away a lot of beasts, but even so, Li Xiao does not dare to have any carelessness.

After all, Ah Da is just a gray wolf, and there are some aspects that he can't really describe clearly like people.

Under the leadership of Li Xiao and several people, the villagers soon came to the fungus production area.

After seeing a vast fungus production area in front of them, the villagers all let out a cry of amazement.

Ning Village is surrounded by mountains, and the villagers in the village are naturally no strangers to the mountains and forests. Wild fungus, although rare, but over the years, I have seen a lot.

However, they had never seen such a large area of fungus, and in their opinion, it was simply a masterpiece of nature, which really took their breath away.

At this moment, they also knew how much Li Xiao had paid for them.

Not to mention anything else, it is these fungus, if Li Xiao is allowed to pick it by himself, then what he can get is definitely a sky-high price!

Originally, they were still uncomfortable with Li Xiao earning their 'kickback' money of ten yuan per kilogram, but now this discomfort has disappeared.

Compared with what Li Xiao paid, what he could get was too little.

It was also from this moment that the villagers really recognized Li Xiao as a person.

The villagers have already taken out the various bags they have brought with them and are ready to pick the fungus.

Li Xiao coughed and shouted loudly: "Everyone, you must be careful when picking fungus for a while, don't destroy those dead wood, if it goes well, we can still come here again to pick this time next year." ”

In fact, Li Xiao didn't say it, and the villagers also knew that just like hunters would not attack their cubs when hunting, they had never violated this ancient concept of sustainable development.

After visiting the fungus production area, the villagers secretly estimated that there are about 60,000 kilograms of fungus here, and more than 100 of them can pick more than 10,000 kilograms a day. These fungus are about enough for them to pick for five days. In just five days, I am not afraid of delaying farm work, and I can earn a lot of money, which is simply a double win.

If it is really like what Li Xiao said, he buys it at a price of sixty per kilogram, then each household can at least be able to do it every year

Earn an extra 30,000 yuan.

Hiss!

At the thought of 30,000 yuan, almost all the villagers gasped.

That's how much it should be.

You know, they used to earn more than 10,000 yuan a year at most, but now they have tripled all of a sudden, which is simply a beautiful thing that they never dreamed of.

In this way, the villagers' interest in picking fungus is even stronger.

For a whole day, the villagers spent a whole day picking fungus in this dead wood field, and under the stimulus of money, they did not feel any fatigue at all, and some of them did not even eat a bite of lunch.

But even so, the faces of the villagers were still filled with joyful smiles.

Especially the villagers whose family conditions are not good, they work even harder.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the sacks that everyone brought could no longer hold the fungus.

Li Xiao led everyone home.

On the way home, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces, and they were still secretly estimating how much money they would make on this trip.

"Brother Xiao, did you say we're going to pick fungus tomorrow?" asked a young villager.

"You don't want the money anymore? Tomorrow I'm going to go to the county and sell the fungus, so I can give you the money. Li Xiao explained.

Hearing that the money would be divided tomorrow, the villagers immediately cheered.

Back at the entrance of the village, Li Xiao found Ling Bingbing standing there with an anxious look on her face, as if she was waiting for her husband to come home.

Seeing that everyone came back intact, Ling Bingbing breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, she was really worried enough on this day, for fear that the villagers would encounter any danger on the road, and if a few people were seriously injured or even killed, then she might not be able to be at peace in her life.

When Ling Bingbing saw Li Xiao coming back with the villagers talking and laughing, Ling Bingbing immediately greeted him and asked, "How is the harvest?"

Li Xiao glanced at Ling Bingbing, his gaze lingering on her plump lips for the longest time, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Ling Bingbing's face immediately covered with a layer of redness, and it was obvious that she remembered the bet she had made with Li Xiao.

Li Xiao didn't push Ling Bingbing too much, but turned his head and said to everyone: "Old and young masters, the village chief asked, how is your harvest?"

"Good!"

"Great harvest. ”

"I'm making a lot of money. ”

Listening to the heartfelt gratitude and laughter of the villagers, Li Xiao was also happy, he felt that what he had done was not in vain, and everything was worth it.

At this time, a villager came to Li Xiao's side and asked, "Brother Xiao, where do you say we put these fungus?"

Li Xiao took a look, this is tens of thousands of kilograms of fungus!

I am afraid that the average villager can't really put these fungus in their yards.

Li Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Seeing that the weather is good today, it shouldn't rain, so let's put the fungus in the small square and wait for it to be shipped away tomorrow." ”

Li Xiao's suggestion was immediately echoed by the villagers.

However, a few villagers were still not at ease, saying that they would come to vigil at night, and the villagers readily agreed.

In fact, in Li Xiao's opinion, there is no need to keep vigil at night, because there is no need at all.

There are so many people in Ning Village, and basically they all go up the mountain to pick fungus, no one will steal fungus at all, not to mention that these fungus are tens of thousands of kilograms, if you can really let people steal it, then you really have the ability!

However, Li Xiao still couldn't hold back the excitement and enthusiasm of the villagers, since they wanted to keep vigil, then keep watch, anyway, tomorrow there will be time for them to catch up on sleep.

With the help of Ling Bingbing, the villagers recorded the weight of their fungus picking, and then left in twos and threes, leaving only a few villagers to stay vigil in the small square.

Fortunately, the night was not very cold, and there was a large light bulb in the small square, and a few villagers drank a little wine and played poker, and the night was not very difficult.
