Chapter 3 [Matsutake Mushroom, 500 Times Profit]

Before setting foot in the other world, Lin Ze had thought about how he would earn the first pot of gold in the transaction between the two worlds.

When the two worlds sell sugar, this is just Lin Ze's expedient measure.

In fact, he took the opportunity to sell sugar to establish contact with the villagers living around the Yunwu Mountains.

Then buy their matsutake mushrooms and sell them back to the main world to reap huge profits, so as to quickly accumulate the original capital, which is Lin Ze's real purpose.

Matsutake mushrooms, known as matsutake mushrooms in the Overworld.

The price is high, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan for a pound of matsutake mushrooms.

However, in history, the price of matsutake mushrooms was not too high at the beginning.

Because of the unique taste of this mushroom, it used to be a niche hobby and was not liked by the general public.

So from ancient times to the present, matsutake mushrooms are just a worthless miscellaneous fungus.

However, in modern times, due to the increase in the consumption of matsutake mushrooms and the decrease in production, it has not been possible to cultivate them on a large scale.

However, the price of matsutake mushrooms has skyrocketed to the category of luxury ingredients, and they have begun to sell grams.

In this other world called the Great Zhou Dynasty, matsutake mushrooms have not yet become a luxury and high-end ingredient, and they are still in the category of miscellaneous mushrooms.

It doesn't sell for much price.

Therefore, in normal times, matsutake mushrooms are just an ingredient used by these villagers who rely on the mountains to supplement their staple food.

And such miscellaneous fungi, Lin Ze has to buy them for eight cents a catty, which is the same price as rice.

It's simply doing charity.

In the opinion of the simple An Shi, an honest merchant like Lin Ze should not suffer such a loss.

So he didn't plan to sell it, so he sent it directly.

-----------------

For An Shi's kindness, Lin Ze refused.

He is not a liar, he did buy it for his elders, but it doesn't have to be his own elders.

Other people's elders are also elders.

Lin Ze smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but if you can send it once, you can't send it all the time, right?" ”

"In the days to come, I may come to buy this pine mushroom every year, and I'm always embarrassed to let you give it away."

In the modern world, a pound of dried matsutake mushrooms, even if they are not in good condition, will cost hundreds of yuan, and those in good condition will cost thousands of yuan.

He paid eight cents to buy dry matsutake mushrooms at the price of one pound of rice.

A pound of rice is only two yuan, and the profit directly starts hundreds of times.

This is simply the first emperor touching the wire, and the first emperor soaking his feet in pepper water - it is really a win!

Moreover, they also want to thank Lin Ze.

Sure enough.

Hearing this, An Shi's gaze at Lin Ze softened even more.

This is a particular person.

The worthless miscellaneous mushrooms, bought for the elders, are willing to pay eight cents a catty.

Not only exquisite, but also filial piety.

This teenager is a good guy and deserves a deep friendship.

Such a thought surfaced in An Shi's heart, and also appeared in the hearts of many simple villagers in Lianghe Village.

"Lin Langjun, you wait, I'll go and bring you all the pine mushrooms at home."

An Shi said this, and drank the porridge in the bowl in a few sips.

Then he trotted to his house.

"Lin Langjun, wait, I also have pine mushrooms at home, and I will sell them to you together."

Nearby, other villagers from Lianghe Village opened their mouths and ran home.

I didn't expect that the miscellaneous mushroom ingredients used as a supplement to the staple food would be purchased at a good price, and I don't know if there will be a next time if I miss this time.

So at this time, the people of Lianghe Village were very active, and they wanted to sell the pine mushrooms accumulated in their homes to Lin Ze.

At the same time, some people are thinking that it is the time for pine mushrooms to be produced recently.

Next, they can go to the mountains to pick more pine mushrooms, and if they can sell them to Lin Ze at the price of rice, then they can also improve their lives with the money they get.

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you here."

Lin Ze looked at the villagers rushing towards his house with gentle eyes, as if he was looking at high-quality cash cows that could walk.

-----------------

Soon, the villagers in Lianghe Village who had matsutake mushrooms at home all returned.

They used bamboo baskets, dustpans and other things to pack these matsutake mushrooms, and when they came to the entrance of the village, they looked at Lin Ze expectantly.

Lin Ze lived up to expectations and began to overweigh these matsutake mushrooms.

When selling things, Lin Ze made the scale head high, and the portion was sufficient.

When buying something, it is to press the scale head flat, so that the actual weight of the thing can be displayed as much as possible.

Such a move can win people's affection.

This is especially true for these villagers, who usually do not live very well-off.

"An Shi, eight catties, nine taels and three money pine mushrooms, count nine catties, seventy-two dollars."

Lin Ze said loudly.

After weighing, paying, and then using the sack you brought with you to pack the matsutake mushrooms.

An Shi saw the whole process of weighing matsutake in his eyes, and looked at Lin Ze's gaze more friendly.

Many villagers in Lianghe Village on the side didn't say anything, but their attitude towards Lin Ze became much friendlier.

Here, Lin Ze is buying a lot of matsutake mushrooms, because everyone is coming over in one go, and when they are busy, they are really busy.

But just for a while, in just over half an hour, Lin Ze completed the entire acquisition process.

As the acquisition progressed, the joy in Lin Ze's heart also accumulated.

"I collected two hundred and seven catties of dried matsutake mushrooms!"

Lin Ze quickly calculated in his heart.

Although the quality of these dried matsutake mushrooms varies from high to low, these mushrooms are all picked by the villagers for their own consumption, and the overall quality is on the passing line.

According to the average of 1,000 yuan per catty, the two hundred and seven catties of matsutake mushrooms here are worth more than 200,000 yuan.

But in fact, the final price will only be higher than that!

And what about Lin Ze's dedication?

It's only about 400 yuan in cost, and he hasn't even spent the profit he got from selling sugar!

That's a 500-fold profit!

-----------------

Seeing that no one came to sell matsutake mushrooms anymore, Lin Ze was ready to leave.

"Lin Langjun, I still have a tiger skin at home, which was killed directly by one arrow, the tiger skin is very complete, do you want it?"

There is a warm greeting from the villagers of Lianghe Village.

"Tiger skin is nothing, I still have a good bear skin at home, and it is also killed with an arrow, Lin Langjun wants it?"

Another villager spoke.

Because their good impression of Lin Ze has been elevated to friendliness, and their impression of him is very good, these villagers of Lianghe Village are also willing to trade some precious things.

If they encounter a merchant with bad conduct, they may cause trouble if they take out precious things, but a good boy like Lin Ze will definitely have no problem.

"No, no, this is not needed."

An embarrassed but polite smile appeared on Lin Ze's face, and he waved his hand to refuse.

Of course, he knew that these furs were valuable, and he could make a lot of money by buying them and selling them, but this thing was too punishing, and he was guaranteed to be invited to tea when he brought it back and sold it.

He now has thin arms and legs, but he doesn't dare to have anything to do with these protected animals.

Many villagers suddenly realized that since Lin Ze was a disciple of a hermit master and usually lived in the Cloud Mountain Range, he must have beaten these tigers and bears, so he naturally did not lack fur.

"I'll come back next time."

Lin Ze drove away in a donkey cart, and behind him was a piece of villagers from Lianghe Village.

Leaving Lianghe Village, Lin Ze did not rush to open the 'Gate of Heavens' and go back to the main world, but drove a donkey cart to the next village.

It's still early, and although he has already harvested a wave of matsutake mushrooms, he is obviously not satisfied.

Next, keep making money!
