Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 7 Precious Medicinal Materials
Behind the dead tree, Xu Jichang broke off a tree fork and hit it twice to confirm that there were no snakes or insects hiding, and then bent down to pick a cluster of yellow-brown things.

Shunzi's eyeballs almost fell out of sight, and his feet stood still: "Chaga!"

His tone was very excited, and he couldn't believe that everything in front of him was real.

Chaga is a very rare fungus with high medicinal value.

It has a blocky shape and a growth cycle of more than ten years. It is said that tens of thousands of birch trees may not grow a piece of chaga.

Even in the old forests in the northeast of Wuhua Tianbao, many mountain people have never seen this thing in their life, and Shunzi only recognized it by relying on the description of the old man in the village in his memory.

Chaga lives by absorbing the essence of the birch tree. When it grows, the birch tree dies.

Like the birch tree in front of me, most likely it was sucked to death by force.

After Shunzi came back to his senses, he walked to Xu Jichang's side and saw the whole picture of the chaga velvet.

I saw that this piece of birch velvet was as big as a washbasin, and it was tightly attached to the bark. It was extremely thick, and it looked like it was old.

"Brother Chang, you really made a fortune this time."

Shunzi looked at the bulging bag in Xu Jichang's hand and said enviously.

Chaga is so precious and has extremely high medicinal value, so the price is naturally high. This full bag is all money in Shunzi's eyes.

"What are you still doing, you pick it too."

Xu Jichang glanced at Shunzi and said.

The rule of entering the mountain is that those who see it have a share, not to mention that Shunzi is still a boy in his village.

This is a tradition cultivated by the mountain people for thousands of years. It talks about mutual benefit and mutual help. If something happens, they can help each other.

"Oh, thank you, Brother Chang."

Shunzi shivered with joy, quickly picked two small pieces, and threw them into the jacket he had taken off earlier.

"Take out the goat's milk, I'm not afraid of soaking the birch velvet after it breaks."

Xu Jichang quickly patted Shunzi to remind him.

The mountain road is rugged, and walking on it ups and downs, it is easy to break the berries and flow out the juice.

However, chaga velvet can't be soaked in water. Once soaked in water, its nutrients will be lost, so it can't be sold at a high price.

In order to prevent this situation, Xu Jichang put all the goat milk he picked earlier into his pocket, and the cloth bag was specially used to hold chaga.

"Hey, thanks to your reminder."

Shunzi shrank her neck in embarrassment, quickly took out the chaga, put all the goat's milk into her pocket, and then put the two pieces of chaga back.

At this moment, Shunzi felt very convinced by Xu Jichang.

There are so many people walking down the mountain road, but only Xu Jichang discovered the precious chaga velvet. This is not only explained by luck, but also by his good eyesight.

He was also careful and thoughtful in handling things, it wasn't for Xu Jichang's reminder just now, he would probably have nothing but fun today.

Just such a person, with exceptionally good grades, compared to him, he looks like a fool.

Among the young people in the whole black blind village, Xu Jichang is definitely the most awesome one.

Shunzi silently gave Xu Jichang a thumbs up in her heart.

After a while, Xu Jichang finished picking chaga, and the cloth bag was bulging.

Shunzi also used his clothes to carry the two small pieces that he had picked up earlier, and happily went down the mountain together.

"If we sell this to a buying station, we'll make a lot of money!"

On the way, Shunzi said excitedly.

"The buying stations are so ruthless in killing prices, you still look for them."

Xu Jichang said with a half-smile.

"Why... you mean..."

Shunzi looked at Xu Jichang with a bit of fear in his expression.

Who else can you sell to if you don't sell it to the buying station?Sell ​​to private?

Isn't that speculative?If someone catches you, you won't be able to eat and walk around.

Brother Chang is so courageous!
"Look at your ugly face, you're usually so shy, why are you so timid when things happen to you?"

Xu Jichang smiled lightly, patted his shoulder and said,
"What the country really strictly controls is the circulation of grain and industrial products. As far as I know, they turn a blind eye to the mountain goods and so on. Only the purchasing station will send people to inquire from time to time to see if there are any private transactions."

"As long as we sell the mountain goods to people who can't be provoked by the buying station, they will have nothing to do with us."

Hey?
After listening to Xu Jichang's train of thought, Shunzi felt his head brighten up.

That's right, the workers at the buying station also watch and order food, and they don't usually kick their feet against the iron plate when they have nothing to do.

If you really do what Xu Jichang said, wouldn't the buying station just stare blankly?
"Brother Chang, this is a good idea, we won't sell it to the buying station next time."

"Call him the price of killing grandpas every day!"

Shunzi said excitedly, admiring Xu Jichang for coming up with such an idea.

The gap between the brains of this person is really huge.

Shunzi sighed in her heart.

With high spirits, Shunzi followed Xu Jichang down the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a small meandering river. After the river exits the valley, it forms a small alluvial fan.

Heixiazi is located on this fertile alluvial fan, but because the area of ​​the alluvial fan is too small to feed all the people in the village, the village is still poor.

Looking along the alluvial fan, you can see a house with stone walls and mud brick walls. This is the former Huangxian Temple, which was later converted into a warehouse for the production team to store collective property and various account books.

Behind the warehouse, there are houses of the folks in turn, all of which are mud bricks from the bottom to the top, without any other building materials.

As the production team leader, Shunzi's family is no exception. The life of the grassroots team leader is at most a little better than that of ordinary members, and it cannot be much better.

Xu Jichang and Shunzi quickened their pace and entered the village, and Shunzi invited him to come to his house for dinner later.

"You're not at home all year round. It's troublesome to start a business again. It's getting late."

"Come to our house for dinner tonight."

"OK, I'll go to your house in a while."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he temporarily separated from Shunzi, and walked to his home in the deep part of the village.

On the way, I met some villagers from the village, and Xu Jichang greeted them.

When some of them saw Xu Jichang, regret flashed in their eyes, and they obviously felt that it was a pity that he, a high school student with excellent grades, returned to the village to farm.

There were also some subtle expressions, Xu Jichang understood that they were gloating.

Let's have fun one by one, and it won't be long until I find out that I am recruiting workers to go to the city.

Xu Jichang sneered in his heart, and went back outside his house.

His home is a small mud-brick house, behind the house is the private land assigned to them in 62.

The area of ​​the private plot is not large, with a total of two fractions of the field, and all vegetables are grown on it.

After his father passed away, Xu Ji often had to go back to the village to tidy up the land every once in a while, watering, loosening the soil and so on.

However, due to the academic requirements and the long distance, Xu Jichang didn't come back very often, and he didn't come back for a while due to many things in the days before graduation.

Xu Jichang was very worried that the vegetables in the private plot were not growing well, so he came to the back of the house with a feeling of apprehension.

"Hey, that's not right."

As soon as he came to the vegetable field, Xu Jichang's eyes were a little surprised.
