After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 256 Acquisition

Shen Qiuqiu didn't want to be the focus of discussion all the time, being gossiped and judged by the aunts and ladies in the village;

So he took the initiative to throw out a topic that would interest them.

"Only 800 kilograms of strawberries will be delivered today, and the express station's truck will arrive at twelve o'clock to pick up the goods. Let's move faster and finish the work in the morning."

Everyone knew why they only worked for half a day today. Everyone looked at each other and smiled knowingly, but they didn’t make fun of Shen Qiuqiu anymore;

Everyone was happy to be able to get a morning job.

"Okay, I promise to finish it before twelve o'clock."

"It's just right. After finishing the morning work today, I can still go to the fields to do some work in the afternoon."

"I don't want to go to the fields. The sun is very hot in the afternoon. I just wash clothes at home. I have been busy every day during this period. I have accumulated dirty clothes for more than half a month. I happened to wash them all today."

"Speaking of which, my family has also saved a lot of dirty clothes. Let's go to the river to wash them in the afternoon."

While the aunts who were packing were working, they were discussing with each other;

Shen Qiuqiu cleared her throat and interjected: "There are ferns everywhere on the mountains these days, which are tender and fat. If the aunts have nothing to do, they can go to the mountains to pick some ferns and come back to dry them..."

Before he finished speaking, someone took over the conversation;

"Hey, my family hasn't even finished the food they dried last year."

"It seems that no one eats this stuff now. My mother-in-law went up the mountain to collect a large basket and came back. She spent most of the day sorting and washing it. She carried it to the town to sell it two days ago and kept it there for a whole day. I sold only four kilograms in a whole day, which was not enough to take a tricycle.”

"Why no one eats it? Our family eats it so much that we dry out dozens of pounds of it every year. We use it to stew bacon and cook hot pot in winter. It's delicious and doesn't cost anything."

"The Gan Nian family also likes to eat this, I guess. I see Gan Nian's mother going up the mountain to pick bracken every day. Every time she carries a big basket on her back."

Li Cunju, whose name was called, laughed dryly and replied vaguely, "Yeah, I love it."

As she spoke, she secretly looked at Shen Qiuqiu with the corner of her eyes; she was afraid that she would tell these people about harvesting dried bracken and let these people compete with her for business.

Since selling more than ten kilograms of dried bracken to Shen Qiuqiu last time, Li Cunju has kept this in mind;

After working at Shen Qiuqiu's house every day, she would go up the mountain with a basket on her back to pick bracken, and she would never go home until dark;

Then at night, he took Wang Weidong and Wang Channian together to process the bracken picked during the day;

After these few days, the family has accumulated dozens of kilograms of dried bracken; there are still many drying on the roof at the moment;

Li Cunju had a very strict mouth and didn't tell anyone about this. She planned to make a fortune alone.

Shen Qiuqiu knew Li Cunju’s little thoughts;

However, the wild vegetables on the mountain are also considered as public resources in the village. This costless business cannot be enjoyed by just her. She cannot pick all the bracken on the mountain by herself;

Moreover, Shen Qiuqiu now needs something to divert the energy and attention of all the aunts and ladies.

She found an opening and intervened in their conversation;

"Dried bracken is very delicious, and many people in the city also like to eat it now; I put some for sale online a few days ago, and the sales are pretty good."

The batch of dried bracken sold in the [Qinghe Nongxian] store has already been reviewed, and the feedback is pretty good, with most customers saying it is delicious;

Only a handful of people said they couldn't get used to the taste and didn't like it.

After a comprehensive evaluation, this business can be done.

Shen Qiuqiu had only finished speaking halfway when the courtyard suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked over, waiting for the next words;

She didn't give in and continued: "I want to take advantage of the bracken season to buy more and sell it online."

Li Cunju sighed helplessly: Here comes the money robber...

There are brackens all over the mountains and fields, and now someone wants to pay for them. Isn't that just like picking up money in a sack?

Everyone understands this;

Wang Xiaoling quickly asked, "How do you collect it? How much is it per pound?" "We only collect this year's dried ferns. They have to be tender and of good quality. Eighteen yuan per pound." Shen Qiuqiu replied.

"Eighteen dollars!"

Some people couldn't help but exclaimed that the price was not low.

How many brackens can a person pick in a day, and how many dried brackens can be dried... Everyone has already made a small calculation in their minds.

"You already knew this, right? No wonder I've been running to the mountains every day lately."

Wang Xiaoling crooked Li Cunju with her elbow and complained: "You didn't tell me about such a good thing. You don't have to worry about choking when you eat alone."

"What do I know? I just love to eat that bite. I thought the weather is nice these days, so I can pick more and come back to dry it." Li Cunju pretended to be dumbfounded and refused to admit it.

"Humph." Wang Xiaoling rolled her eyes and ignored her.

The yard was much quieter;

No one said much, just thinking about where to go to pick bracken in the afternoon.

Everyone’s work efficiency was surprisingly high today;

It was only half past eleven, and eight hundred kilograms of strawberries were already packed;

Boxes were piled neatly in the yard, just waiting for the express station's car to take them away.

Loading the car is Wang Gannian's job, and others can just pack up their own things and call it a day.

Before leaving, Wang Xiaoling asked again, "Xiaohua, are you kidding us? Are you really paying 18 yuan a pound to harvest dried bracken? Don't let us go up the mountain to pick it up, and you said no." ”

Shen Qiuqiu said with a smile: "Why are you teasing me? I'll take whatever you can get for eighteen yuan a pound. However, I'll start with the ugly talk. I only want the good ones; I won't take the ones with bad quality."

"Hey, we are all from the same village. How can we fool you with bad things?"

Everyone felt relieved now, simply said hello and left quickly;

I have to go home quickly to eat. After eating, I can go up the mountain to pick bracken;

No, it’s to go up the mountain to pick up money!

Compared with the high energy of others, Li Cunju is a little listless;

With so many people going up the mountain together, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pick up the leaves;

I just regret that I don’t have eight hands, so I took advantage of the past few days to light up all the bracken on the mountain.

Li Cunju looked at the green mountains in the distance in trance, and suddenly had an idea in her mind;

She hurriedly dragged Wang Weidong home, "Let's go home quickly. After dinner, we will go to Xiangyang Village to pick bracken."

Wild vegetables and wild vegetables also grow wild;

Bracken grows on many hills in rural areas. If you can't get it in your own village, you go to pick it from the hills in other villages.

Xiangyang Village is not far away, Qinghe Village is just twenty miles south;

Wang Weidong couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "You must have been poisoned by picking bracken! If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I won't go. There is a lot of work waiting in the fields."

"If I can ride a bike, I'll go there by myself. I don't need to beg you! You'll ride your bike to take me there in a while, and then come back to work when you're done."

The couple went home noisily;

Grandma Shen couldn't stop laughing, "It's going to be really lively on the mountain this time."

Shen Qiuqiu also smiled and nodded, "Well, the village will be quiet for a few days this time."
