Chapter 4

"Auntie, when you go out to sell, how much does it cost per pound?" Bai Lu asked curiously.

"When we went out to sell it, we always sold it for [-] cents per catty, but no one bought it, so we had to take it back and keep it for ourselves." Zhao Yonghong looked helpless.

It is really difficult for people in these mountainous areas to have other income besides wages.

"Auntie, please sell me these dried fungus! My hometown is in the south. There are no mountains, so there are no mountain products." Bai Lu said, "Auntie, please weigh it! I want all of these, no, And give me everything you have at home!”

Zhao Yonghong was a little surprised, "Nurse Bai, why do you need so much?"

"I have many relatives in my hometown, and I want to give some to each of them. The ones from my aunt's family may not be enough for me!" Bai Lu smiled heartily, fearing that her aunt would have some psychological burden, and she was also afraid that her aunt would What to think about.

"Nurse Bai, are you sure?" Zhao Yonghong couldn't believe it.

Bai Lu nodded, "I'm sure, I want them all. If they don't share enough, I'll ask my aunt to buy them next time."

Zhao Yonghong nodded happily, and after taking Bai Lu back home, he took out the dried fungus and dried mushrooms, "Nurse Bai, our dried fungus is all here. You can choose how much you want, and there is no need to weigh it." If it’s too heavy, just give me a few cents to show your interest. It’s something that every household has, and you can’t sell it at all.”

Bai Lu hurriedly refused, "Auntie, that's not okay. It's whatever it is. I know how hard it is to pick and dry mushrooms. I can't let Auntie's hard work go in vain!"

Zhao Yonghong had no choice but to take a steelyard from the top of the cupboard and weighed several frames of dried wild mushrooms. "It's 25 kilograms in total. The quality here is a bit uneven. Nurse Bai, please give me four yuan." That’s it.”

"Auntie, I just said that it is as much as it should be. If you don't want my money, then I will have to find someone else to buy it next time." I originally wanted to cooperate with her because she was a good person. This would also allow her to earn some money along the way.

After the aunt packed the dried mushrooms, she handed them to Bai Lu, who then handed Zhao Yonghong five pieces of one dollar.

Zhao Yonghong took the money and held it in her hand. She felt elated and had tears in her eyes. She... actually made money!

25 pounds of dried mushrooms was very heavy for Bai Lu. Zhao Yonghong helped her lift the dried mushrooms outside the door and tied them to the bicycle for her. Bai Lu said thank you and pushed the bicycle away. In this place, dried mushrooms are sold directly.

From 25 kilograms of dried wild mushrooms, he earned 1000 and [-] mall coins. Including the previous one thousand and two, Bai Lu now has nearly [-] mall coins in the 'Wanjie Mall'.

Thinking of this, Bai Lu was very happy. She hurriedly rode her bicycle and returned to her aunt's house. She gave 20 yuan to her aunt and said to her, "Aunt, I need you to help me go out and collect [-] kilograms of dried mushrooms. You can Receive [-] cents per catty, and give me [-] cents per catty when the time comes, so that my aunt can easily earn five yuan."

"Really?" Zhao Yonghong couldn't believe that Bai Lu would entrust such a good thing to her.

"Auntie, don't tell anyone else about this. Just the two of us know about it. If anyone asks you why you collect dried mushrooms, just say you send them to relatives."

After the matter was settled, Bai Lu rode her bicycle back. The silent night and the cool evening breeze made Bai Lu full of expectations for the future. Now with the blessing of this 'golden finger', not to mention taking off, she will definitely be able to survive this life. of everything goes well.

Two nights later, Bai Lu borrowed a bicycle again and went to Zhao Yonghong from Jin Jialiang's house next door to get dried mushrooms. Zhao Yonghong tied the dried mushrooms to Bai Lu on the back seat of the bicycle and said with a smile, "Nurse Bai, if you have any more in the future, If you need anything, just come to me." "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely come to trouble you when the time comes." Bai Lu smiled, "Thank you, Auntie, it's dark and the road is difficult to walk, so I'll go back first."

"Nurse Bai, please be safe!" Zhao Yonghong waved to Bai Lu and watched Bai Lu leave.

When the aperture of Bailu's flashlight became smaller and smaller, until finally nothing could be seen, Zhao Yonghong turned around and went in.

On the road far away from the village, Bai Lu sold the dried mushrooms. She earned [-] mall coins for one hundred kilograms of dried mushrooms. Adding those she sold in the previous two days, she had already earned [-] mall coins.

If calculated based on the price of rice, 80 mall coins can only be exchanged for 500 yuan in the [-]s, which is not cost-effective. If you want to exchange mall coins for cash in this era, you still have to choose something with a high price. .

That afternoon, when he was about to get off work, Nuan Nuan saw Bai Lu with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but joke, "Bai Lu, why are you giggling? Is it because it's our turn to have a rest tomorrow? You can finally contact Jin Jialiang. I'm so happy." Already?"

Bai Lu was happy because it was her turn to have a rest tomorrow and she could go to town, not because of Jin Jialiang.

"I didn't buy any new clothes this summer. All I wore were old ones I bought before. Why don't we go shopping in the town together tomorrow!" Nuan Nuan suggested.

"Okay!" Bai Lu was about to go, but now that Wen Nuan was mentioned, she naturally agreed without hesitation.

She bought dried mushrooms from Zhao Yonghong and said they were sent to her home. If she didn't send them to her home at all, would others suspect her?
She must go to the post office to show off!

On the way back to the dormitory, Bai Lu asked, "Nuan Nuan, do you still have the envelope and stamps in your hand?"

"Yes, yes." Nuan Nuan nodded repeatedly.

"Then lend me a set later." Bai Lu said.

"Okay." Wen Nuan nodded happily.

Back in the dormitory, Wen Nuan immediately gave the envelope and stamps to Bai Lu. Another row of shining golden characters appeared in front of Bai Lu's eyes: Great Wall stamps, one for each mall coin, are they for sale?

Bai Lu refused directly. This is an ordinary stamp that everyone sends for credit. It is not a collector's edition. It is not valuable and there is no need to sell it. Let's wait until we encounter a collector's edition in the future!

Then Bai Lu sat at the table and began to write a letter. She wrote to Xu Lebao, her deskmate in junior high school, asking her if she would like to sell dried wild mushrooms and fungus in the south, because they did not have these things in the north. , you can make a little difference by shipping things over and changing hands.

Bai Lu did this mainly to bring some things to light. She couldn't always trade with the 'Wanjie Mall', because in this way, her income would not be able to be made clear. If she suddenly became rich and her living standards suddenly rose sharply, everyone would If she doubts the source of her income, she must do something to let everyone know that her income is obtained through legal means.
