Chapter 58: One-Time Sale
Luo Xiaohua's arrival made Gao Mingcheng's mood a little bad, and he felt more urgent about making money, so he had lunch, and in the afternoon he went to the mountains again, this time to get honey, he planned to get more, and when he arrived at the county market, he would take it to the county seat to sell it.
Today is the fourth, and the sixth is the county seat, he plans to get honey today, and then go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, it is best to get a yellow muntjac, and then take it to the county to sell together.
After all these things are sold, the money in his hand should be less than a thousand.
In the past two days, Gao Mingcheng has been running alone in the mountains, and this feeling of tranquility and freedom has fascinated him.
In his previous life, he didn't like the mountains, he felt that the mountains restrained him, he liked the outside world of flowers, he liked to fight with people, his life was smooth, he also had twists and turns, and experienced a lot of things.
But now that he is back in '86, he feels like he's back to basics.
Especially after getting those two pages of gold leaf, he meditated every night, practiced boxing in the mountains in the early morning, ran freely in the mountains and woods, and got meat at his fingertips.
If you choose to leave this small mountain village and go to the city like in your previous life, you will have to travel day and night, and you will have to live in a small house, and it will be difficult to stretch your muscles.
For the sake of this freedom and pleasure, he did not want to enter the city too early, and when he chose to enter the city, it must be when he has a family background and can live well in the city.
And this family foundation, the mountain can be given to him.
The days passed in a flash, and as Gao Mingcheng wished, he not only got more honey, but also got two yellow muntjacs.
This yellow muntjac was specially captured alive by him, just to avoid the hot weather and the meat will spoil.
September 6th, fine.
After Gao Mingcheng woke up, he went halfway up the mountain to fight a set of boxing techniques as usual, and then at about six o'clock, he carried his burden and prepared to go to the county seat.
The reason why he has to carry the burden is because he doesn't have a car to travel!
The honey was not filled in a suitable container, and it was still placed in the big jar, but fortunately, the jar was very large, enough to hold forty or fifty catties of honey, and on the other side of the burden, there were two yellow muntjac with their limbs tied, and the yellow muntjac was alive, so the price could be higher.
The size of the yellow muntjac is not big, the two ends are together, less than 100 catties, the weight of the jar itself plus honey, is not light, but it is still lighter than the yellow muntjac, when people carry the burden, there will be a heavy head and a light head.
But the solution is also easy, as long as the position of the flat arm is moved, so that the heavy one is in front and the light one is in the back, so that it can be more coordinated.
He carried the burden, walked like the wind, quickly shuttled on the country road, along the way met a lot of people who also carried the burden to the county seat, there are also a few people who are riding bicycles, behind the bicycle, tied to a large bamboo basket, which is full of things.
Halfway through, Gao Mingcheng also met a special father and daughter, the father was also carrying a burden, but on one side the burden was full of vegetables, and on the other side was a five or six-year-old girl squatting on the burden.
The little girl was dressed in a floral dress, with two pigtails, and her eyes were round and flexible, and she looked very clever and beautiful.
When she saw Gao Mingcheng, her eyes were shining, and she said loudly: "Dad, look at that brother, he walks so fast!" ”
His father is an honest-looking person, and he also glanced at Gao Mingcheng, and said with a smile: "When Dad was young, he also walked so fast!" ”
"Really? Daddy is amazing! The little girl was a little skeptical, but she praised her father.
The father and daughter let out a hearty laugh together, and this laughter gradually became lower in Gao Mingcheng's ears until he was completely inaudible, because his speed was far faster than that of the father and daughter, and he had already walked in front.
Rao was fast, and it took him nearly an hour to reach the farmers' market in the county seat, and if he didn't carry a burden and didn't need to deliberately slow down, with the speed at which he could run, it would only take half an hour at most.
Gao Mingcheng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was seven o'clock in five minutes.
He didn't rush to find a place to set up a stall, but went to eat something first, and when he was eating, he asked people if there was a place to buy a lot of honey.
This time, it is better to sell the honey all at once, even if it is cheaper, it is okay, and selling it little by little is not only not containerized, but also time-consuming.
The people who set up stalls here to sell breakfast are naturally very familiar with this place, so they pointed out a few places for Gao Mingcheng and asked him to go over and ask.
Gao Mingcheng ate the last bite of food, put the bowl down, thanked him, picked up the burden and left.
Following the guide, he came to a grocery store, which occupied two storefronts and was filled with all kinds of things, and the owner of the shop had a good business, and many people were there to pick up their goods.
Gao Mingcheng opened his mouth to ask him if he would accept honey, but the boss didn't even look at it, and waved his hand directly and said no.
Gao Mingcheng saw that he was busy selling goods, so he didn't stay long, and continued to walk with his burden.
Someone noticed what he had brought, and went up to inquire about it, and learned that he did not have a container for honey, and some of them left rather regretfully, but one of them told him that he could go to a shop and buy some jars.
Gao Mingcheng listened to the persuasion and went to buy jars, if no one was willing to accept the honey, then naturally he had to sell it little by little.
He went to the place where the jars were sold, and the owner of the jars knew that he had bought them to sell honey, so he asked him how much the honey cost a pound, and asked him to taste it.
Gao Mingcheng acted generously and scooped it out with a spoon.
The wild honey in the mountains is the most mellow.
If it is self-raised honey, if the honey is shaken frequently, it may happen that the honey has not been thoroughly brewed, and the water is too much, and it is not sweet enough.
But wild honey does not have this worry, and before Gao Mingcheng took honey, honey had been operating in the mountains for many years.
"What thick honey! Sweet! It's so sweet! ”
"How do you sell this honey?"
Obviously, this is a knowledgeable person, and after tasting it, he moved his mind to buy it.
"If you sell it in bulk, it will cost you seven yuan a catty, and if you collect it all, it will be six yuan and five pounds." Gao Mingcheng wanted to sell it all at once, so he hinted at it.
The shopkeeper was really moved, but he was still hesitating.
Gao Mingcheng continued: "Boss, you have a shop here, and honey won't be bad, you can sell it slowly." ”
"That's it, I'll let me make a little more price, six dollars three!"
"Six pieces, I'll ask for it!" The shopkeeper saw Gao Mingcheng's intention and decisively lowered the price.
But Gao Mingcheng didn't let him get his wish, shook his head and refused: "Six pieces of two, if it doesn't work, forget it!" ”
He sold it for six yuan and two, and after the owner of this shop bought it, he could earn eight cents a pound, and this profit was not low.
"Six! I'll take all the honey you get in the future! ”
The shopkeeper continued to increase the size, which made Gao Mingcheng hesitate.
In the end, he agreed, going to the mountains to get honey was just a little troublesome for him, but selling honey a little bit was also a troublesome thing.
He nodded, and began to get the honey out of the jar.
Because the shopkeeper sells cans, he directly fills the cans and then weighs them together.
After a lot of work, there were just fifty catties of honey, and Gao Mingcheng easily received three hundred yuan.
As he counted the money, a young man in a bat shirt and bell bottoms stood not far away, his eyes staring at the money, flashing with greed.
But instead of stepping forward, he quietly walked away.
