Chapter 21 [Mountain Warehouse, Help Transport]
I want to quickly ship back this tonnage of matsutake mushrooms without attracting attention.
Lin Ze has already come up with a solution.
That is, to have a warehouse of his own, store matsutake mushrooms in it to avoid the sight of the villagers, and then Lin Ze can open the door in the warehouse to quickly move the materials, and he said to the outside world that he called the same door to come over to help move it away.
But it takes time to build a warehouse, and the agreed transaction time between Lin Ze and Qingmu Mountain is just three days away.
In the eyes of the world, Lin Ze is a disciple of a hermit master who lives in the depths of Yunwu Mountain.
Even if he is vigorous as a martial arts practitioner, it will take a day to walk back and forth between Shanmen and Qinghe Township.
If it is a trip a day, the donkey cart pulls a weight of five or six hundred catties, and then carries another two hundred catties, and at most three days, a little more than a ton of matsutake mushrooms will be pulled back.
So what Lin Ze is worried about at the moment is how to quickly transport the matsutake away right now.
"Perhaps, this method can be improved for a temporary transition, first let the villagers help me transport the matsutake mushrooms to a secluded place in Yunwu Mountain, and then I will transport these matsutake mushrooms overnight under the pretext of helping to carry them from the same door."
"Even if there are a lot of doubts about this excuse, such as many of my classmates never show up in front of people and so on."
"But as long as I am not directly seen opening the Gate of the Heavens to travel across the world, it is not a big problem, and this suspicion can also be explained that the senior brothers in the door need to maintain a pure heart to practice martial arts, and it is inconvenient to have contact with the world before they are successful and go down the mountain to travel."
Thinking about it, Lin Ze's plan in his heart had been decided.
Then he began to pave the way: "The road in the Yunwu Mountain is rugged, and the number of pine mushrooms purchased is too large, and it is indeed inconvenient to transport, so I plan to build a warehouse near Eagle's Beak Mountain, and then the elders will arrange for someone to send the collected pine mushrooms to this warehouse for settlement." ”
"I will pay an additional transportation fee, this eagle's beak mountain is not far from my mountain gate, and it is not troublesome for the elderly to arrange people to enter the mountain."
"When I arrived, I could call the disciples in the sect to come and carry them, anyway, they usually need to climb mountains and wade through water to chop wood and carry burdens, but they just happened to help me carry these pine mushrooms back."
Lin Ze's words had two effects.
The first is to tell An Ye that there are many disciples in his master's family.
Now it's July, and there is only half a month left to pick matsutake mushrooms, even if all the villagers near Qinghe Township mobilize to pick matsutake mushrooms, he can eat them all, and he can keep these dried matsutake slices to enjoy all year round.
So that they don't have to worry about too many matsutake mushrooms, and they won't continue to buy them on their side.
The second is to pave the way for yourself to quickly transport a lot of matsutake mushrooms.
People who practice martial arts are strong and strong, as light as a swallow, even if they carry a few hundred pounds to walk in the mountains, they are also vigorous.
With the foreshadowing of Lin Ze's words, many villagers will not wonder why Lin Ze is moving goods so quickly.
Anye didn't think much about it.
In his opinion, Lin Ze's purchase of some worthless miscellaneous mushrooms at the price of rice was a blessing for these villagers.
And he settled down to help buy these miscellaneous mushrooms, and he also had a share of the income to take.
Not to mention that Lin Ze bought pine mushrooms and went back to eat them, even if he took back his belongings and burned firewood, it was none of their business.
Isn't it a loss of conscience for them to enjoy this blessing and question the ulterior motives of others?
"Yingzui Mountain is about ten miles away from our Lianghe Village, I remember that there is a natural cave there that can shelter from the wind and rain, if you build a warehouse there, Ziyi, it will indeed be much easier for you to carry materials."
Anye said with a smile.
"Then bother the elders to find some manpower for me, and now follow me into the mountain to explore the site and build a warehouse."
"I will pay for the construction of the warehouse at the current market price."
Lin Ze said directly.
Anye nodded and said, "I'll go and call someone." ”
With that, turn and leave.
-----------------
When Lin Ze put three large sacks and six hundred catties of matsutake mushrooms on the donkey cart, An Ye quickly came back with people.
There are a total of fourteen young people, all of whom are villagers of these two river villages.
"Aren't you going to pick pine mushrooms?"
Lin Ze asked these villagers of Lianghe Village curiously.
This Yunwu Mountain Range is rich in products, picking matsutake mushrooms a day casually has dozens of catties, and even hundreds of catties if you are lucky.
Even if the matsutake mushroom shrinks greatly after drying, it can earn thirty or forty yuan a day, and even hundreds of yuan in many cases.
However, repairing the warehouse for him obviously did not make such a profit, and his daily salary was at most seventy or eighty yuan, which would be much more tiring than picking matsutake mushrooms.
"There are only so many pine mushrooms, and now they are not as good as they were some time ago, and it is the same for the women of the family to pick them."
"It's still Lin Gongzi's matter that matters, we will definitely help Lin Gongzi repair the treasury as soon as possible."
A villager from Lianghe Village, who was the leader, said with a smile.
Although there are some beautiful words, it is also very straightforward to explain the reason.
The matsutake mushrooms near the Yunwu Mountains have not been as easy to pick as they were at the beginning after they have been collecting them for several days, and they need to go to farther areas to collect them, which takes more time and energy.
Although the construction of a warehouse does not pay well, such a job opportunity with a stable income is not common.
"Let's go, then."
Lin Ze said.
"Lin Gongzi, let's help you carry some pine mushrooms."
These villagers of Lianghe Village took the initiative to speak.
Then, he took the initiative to carry a bag of about 100 catties of pine mushrooms and followed Lin Ze's donkey cart into the mountain.
"Okay, I'll give you an extra five cents per person for transportation."
Lin Ze nodded.
The villagers of Lianghe Village, a group of fourteen people who were just about to take a step, paused, and carried a bag of 100 catties of matsutake mushrooms on their shoulders.
Originally, they planned to contribute for free, but now that Lin Ze has given extra money, it would be a little embarrassing to carry a bag.
"It's really sincere."
Seeing this, Lin Ze had some smiles on the corners of his mouth, and he didn't say anything.
Stopping and stopping all the way, Lin Ze soon drove the group into the Cloud Mountains and came to the vicinity of Eagle's Beak Mountain.
The hill is not particularly tall, and there is a small cave in the middle of the mountain.
"Lean on this, make a storehouse out of stone and wood that is dry and closed enough to protect against wild beasts and shelter from the wind and rain."
"If the building materials are made locally, the wages will be seventy yuan a day, and if they can be completed in half a month, I will have additional wages here."
Lin Ze pointed to the location of the cave in Eagle's Beak Mountain and spoke his request.
On the way, Lin Ze told these villagers of Lianghe Village his request, and at the moment it was just to confirm the location of the building.
"Don't worry, Master Lin, we will definitely help you do a good job."
These villagers of Lianghe Village all opened their mouths to promise.
