In the next few days, Xiao Zhengping didn't care which mountain belonged to whom, and specialized in collecting mushrooms with higher purchase prices.

Xiao Zhengping also carefully flipped through the directory copied from He Yongfu, and he found that the most valuable thing in the nearby mountains was only fungi. Although there are other mountain goods, but the way down the mountain is difficult to walk even for livestock, and you can't get up on your own two legs, and if you can't get up, you can't compare with the fungus with a high unit price.

I had no choice but to walk and watch!

For four or five days in a row, Xiao Zhengping was able to sell for more than thirty yuan every day, which not only stunned He Yongfu, but also frightened Xiuye.

I came back this day and handed the money to Xiuye, but Xiuye didn't take it for a long time.

Xiao Zhengping looked at Xiuye's sad face and asked her what was wrong.

"Brother," Xiuye has been calling "brother" more and more frequently recently, Xiao Zhengping is very happy, but Xiuye's next words made Xiao Zhengping's fiery heart suddenly cold to freezing point, "Are you gambling again?" ”

"Ye'er, brother swore to you, you don't believe me?"

"I~~I~~" Xiao Xiuye is too contradictory, the eldest brother's performance is there, she can't believe it, but the problem is that the money is coming too fast and too much, "Then where did you say that so much money came from?" ”

Xiao Zhengping was stunned, and suddenly laughed, "So that's the case, I thought who was gossiping in front of you!" In this way, Ye'er, isn't tomorrow the weekend? You and your eldest brother pick mushrooms, and then let's go to the township, and I'll let you see with your own eyes how my brother sells mushrooms. By the way, it's just tomorrow to catch the market, let's go to the big market. ”

After all, Xiao Xiuye hadn't been down the mountain for more than half a year, and when she heard that she was going to the market, she immediately left her doubts behind.

The next day, the brother and sister got up early, and Xiuye gave a hot meal and brought two boiled sweet potatoes.

Xiao Zhengping still carried a broken bamboo basket and a firewood knife, Xiuye was not far behind, and also carried the bamboo basket she used to pick vegetables.

The two of them kept going all the way, and went straight to the back mountain, Xiao Zhengping taught Xiuye which fungi were valuable and how to pick them, Xiuye was puzzled after listening.

"Brother, how do you know that these mushrooms can be eaten? Teachers in school have taught that mushrooms can't be eaten blindly, and if you eat them wrong, you will hallucinate, and some can even eat dead people. Xiuye looked at the strange-shaped bamboo girl in her hand and asked.

Xiao Zhengping was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, he couldn't tell Xiuye that he had crossed over, and he had eaten all these mushrooms.

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhengping replied casually: "Dad taught me." ”

"Daddy?" The smart Xiao Xiuye is not so easy to fool, "Why didn't he teach me?" ”

Xiao Zhengping was a little flustered, and had to say in a hurry: "It's a matter of old age, you were still young at that time." After that, he ignored Xiao Xiuye and went into the bamboo forest alone.

One morning, the two of them had to go through most of the mountain to fill the bamboo basket and bamboo basket, and then they ate the sweet potatoes with the spring water, and then walked down the mountain.

There are still a lot of people selling cigarettes, who come and go, and they work harder than ants. However, unlike at the beginning, Xiao Zhengping can be seen carrying the fungus down the mountain almost every day these days, and these tobacco farmers don't ridicule him much anymore, and sometimes they will stop and ask what the mushroom market is.

This time, Xiao Zhengping took Xiuye with him, and it immediately became a scenery on the road, and many people greeted him, but almost all of them greeted Xiuye.

When she arrived on the road, Xiao Zhengping saw that Xiuye was a little unbearable, so he asked her to stop and rest.

The road at Xiao Zhengping's feet leads to the county seat, and there is a big river next to the road, and there are towering mountains on both sides of the river. It is precisely because of the barrier of this river that the road was built far away, in fact, if there is a bridge in the middle of the river, it can completely save the dozens of miles of detour.

No, under the roadbed where the brother and sister rested, there were people crossing people back and forth on the banks of the river on both sides.

After a short rest, the two continued their journey up the river, and in about an hour they reached the village.

Xiao Zhengping took Xiao Xiuye to the supply and marketing cooperative, and after introducing his sister to He Yongfu, he began to settle accounts.

Xiao Xiuye was smart, listening to He Yongfu say the unit price, and reported a few weights one after another, without waiting for He Yongfu to finish dialing the abacus, Xiao Xiuye covered his mouth and blurted out: "Forty-seven yuan and eight cents, oh my God!" ”

He Yongfu on the side couldn't believe that this girl was calculating so quickly, so he hurriedly finished dialing the abacus, and when he finished dialing it, he was dumbfounded, and the number he said was exactly the same as Xiao Xiuye.

"Little brother, you girl is terrible!" Surprised, He Yongfu laughed.

Xiao Zhengping was also not polite, "That is, our Ye'er was born to study, Brother Yongfu, you said such a smart girl, I want to send her to college is not a big talk, right?" ”

"No, no, no! Oh, Pingzi, you've made a lot of money these days! According to your way of earning, it is more than enough for my sister to go to college. ”

"Hey! Big brother, you are pretending to be confused again, haven't you seen that I only have sheep and finches and bamboo girls these days? I'm worried that I won't have my share when others touch the limelight, so I've stepped up my efforts in the past few days, and it may be gone in a few days! ”

"Also, the fungus is a solar term, and it is very delicate, if you pick it again this year, it is estimated that it will not grow for several years in the future."

Although Xiao Zhengping has eaten these fungi and knows a little more than the people in the team, he is still a layman after all, and he is not very clear about the habits of these fungi. Now hearing He Yongfu say this, he immediately panicked.

"Big brother, is there still such a statement? Isn't that all the time since then? ”

Not only Xiao Zhengping, but also Xiao Xiuye on the side became nervous, now there is nothing at home, only the mountains and forests, finally the eldest brother can pick mushrooms and sell them for money, this family finally has a way to live, if the mushrooms are gone, won't the eldest brother have to go back to the table to "make money"?

He Yongfu was not in a hurry at all, he took out a cloth bag and rolled a cigarette roll for himself, "Speaking of this, I was about to talk to you about it." If you really plan to do this, my next family will come to pull the goods in two days, he knows better than me, and I will take you to get to know him. ”

When Xiao Zhengping heard this, he immediately took He Yongfu's hand excitedly, "Brother Yongfu, this~~ What should I say?" You've saved my life! ”

He Yongfu lit a cigarette, spit out a puff of cigarette and said, "I see that your kid is quite lively, and it's not easy for you to pull your sister." But I'm not all for you, when the two of you negotiate, the goods will have to pass from me, and I have to make some money, right? ”

He Yongfu was the first person to help him after Xiao Zhengping crossed over, no matter whether he helped or not, Xiao Zhengping was grateful in his heart for this meaning.

But in the final analysis, both of them are "businessmen", businessmen pay attention to a win-win situation, but in the end, interests come first, Xiao Zhengping believes that part of the reason why He Yongfu helped him is indeed out of sympathy, but more should be his last sentence - he also has to make some money!

Anyway, this news is exactly what Xiao Zhengping needs now, he turned around and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, directly spent three yuan and five cents to take a "handle" cigarette, and walked out to stuff it for He Yongfu.

"Big brother, no matter how I say thank you, as long as you can use my place in the future, you can just tell me."

He Yongfu didn't mean to push this time, he took a cigarette and motioned for Xiao Zhengping to sit down, "It's easy to talk about the two of us, but you also have to be prepared, that person is from the city, he is a big boss, and he can't be sloppy." ”

Xiao Zhengping nodded again and again, "That's right!" That's right! In this way, Brother Yongfu, when the time comes, I will go to the guest house to set up a table, and you will sit with you, how about it? ”

He Yongfu was very satisfied, "Okay, you kid is a little savvy!" ”
