Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 9
Today, Chen Mu woke up early, opened the door and walked into the rice room. As expected, he caught another little mouse in the mousetrap. He still killed the mouse and cut it into meat, and fed it to the young eagle, and also fed some to the bumble bee. food.

Chen Mu plans to go to the city to sell medicine next.

There is no wild medicinal material trading market in the county, so we can only set up stalls on the street and wait for customers to come to our door. However, it seems that this kind of Ganoderma lucidum can't be sold at a good price in the county, so it is best to go to the city.

Yang City is more than 300 kilometers away from Shanjin County, but in recent years, the expressway has been opened, and it takes about four hours to get there by bus. In order to get a good price for his super wild Ganoderma lucidum, he decided to go to Yangcheng for a walk .

Before leaving the house, Chen Mu went to Wang Fugui's house next door. His mother said that Fugui drove a van to solicit customers early in the morning for the town fair.

Forget it, Chen Mu took Ganoderma lucidum out of the road at the entrance of the village, and got on the minibus to the county town alone.

The minibus came from Shuitian Village above. Longdong Village and Shuitian Village lived next to each other. Shuitian Village was much larger than Longdong Village, with hundreds of households. Usually, the two villages had constant conflicts and were almost deadly rivals.

The bus stopped, and there were not many passengers in the bus, so Chen Mu randomly found a seat in the back and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he saw a young girl sitting in a seat next to him.The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with average build, ordinary clothes, and a ponytail. She looked innocent and cute. Perhaps it was because of the frequent exposure to ultraviolet rays that the girl's cheeks were slightly flushed from the plateau.

Chen Mu noticed that there was a small basket in the aisle next to the girl, which was covered with withered grass, and he didn't know what was inside.

Chen Mu guessed, could this girl be from Shuitian Village?
The girl obviously noticed Chen Mu, but it wasn't Chen Mu's person who attracted her. When she saw the big Ganoderma lucidum in a snakeskin pocket next to Chen Mu, her eyes lit up several times, probably because she was surprised by such a big Ganoderma lucidum. Arrived.

The girl kept staring at Ganoderma lucidum, she seemed to want to ask something but couldn't speak, she hesitated and was very shy.

Chen Mu saw what the girl was thinking, and smiled, "Young girl, are you from Shuitian Village?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and quickly gathered herself together before she nodded a little shyly; "Well, where did you pick your Ganoderma lucidum, it's such a big Ganoderma lucidum."

Hearing this, Chen Mu smiled and said, "Well, I found it in the mountains, little sister, are you from Shuitian Village?"

Chen Mu asked about Shuitian Village again. At this time, the girl was obviously embarrassed. Shuitian Village and Longdong Village have always been rivals. The villagers of the two villages often had conflicts because of going to the mountains to collect herbs or going down the river to fish.

The villagers all depend on the same mountains and rivers to live. The wild medicinal resources growing in the mountains in this area are not monopolized by any village. The villagers in nearby villages can go to the mountains to collect medicines and go down the river to fish. What a harvest they can get All on their own.

Because of these limited public resources, competition between villages is unavoidable. Where there is competition, there will be conflicts and disputes. The most obvious is the hostility and conflict between Longdong Village and Shuitian Village. People in the two villages have rarely interacted of.

When the girl saw Chen Mu asking this question, she nodded in embarrassment. Even though she herself disliked the hostile relationship between the two villages, this kind of relationship between villages cannot be changed by a girl.

Chen Mu also saw the girl's thoughts. In order not to embarrass the girl, he ran away from the topic and smiled instead; "Little sister, what's your name, are you a senior in high school?"

The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Liang Xiaoyue, I don't go to school anymore, I want to stay at home and take care of my mother."

Chen Mu was taken aback. He wanted to ask the girl's mother if she was suffering from some kind of disease. After thinking about it, he didn't ask any further. He just smiled and said, "It's a pity, sister, are you going to the county town too?"

Liang Xiaoyue nodded, her eyes still looked at the Ganoderma lucidum next to Chen Mu intentionally or unintentionally, and finally, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Well, big brother, do you often go to the mountains to collect herbs? Can you take me into the mountains together? I want to collect herbs." Make money to treat my mother."

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood, and smiled, "Well, it's not impossible, but you have to tell me what's in your back basket?"

The girl was overjoyed, and hurriedly moved the small basket placed in the aisle to her side. She lifted a layer of dry grass inside, and saw a plastic bucket with a lid under the dry grass.

Liang Xiaoyue bent down to open the lid, and when she saw what was inside, Chen Mu's eyes widened instantly, dumbfounded.

Inside the plastic bucket was a huge eel. Its head weighed at least ten catties. Its body curled up like a snake at the bottom of the bucket, taking up the entire area of ​​the bottom of the bucket.

"Sister, where did you get such a big eel?"

Chen Mu was surprised, and the other passengers in the car also cast their eyes on the bucket, they were all shocked by this super eel.

"I caught it in my old paddy field." Liang Xiaoyue said shyly, "I thought this eel should be sold for some money, so I planned to sell it in the county town."

Immediately, a passenger in the car said, "This rice field eel must weigh about ten catties, and at least it can be sold for 800 yuan."

"Yes, yes, it's the first time I've seen such a big eel. I don't think 800 yuan can get away with it."

"Hey, if you buy well, it may not be possible to sell for more than 1000 yuan."

. . .

Passengers were all estimating the price of this super large eel based on their own experience. Liang Xiaoyue heard that her large eel could be sold for 1000 yuan, which made her happy.

In her opinion, she would be content with selling this eel for 300 yuan, but now it seems that the price may double several times at once.

Chen Mu listened on the sidelines, and he didn't take seriously the price estimated by the passengers. Field eels of this size are very rare, let alone wild ones. If they are sold in restaurants and hotels in the city, they will definitely fetch a good price.

It just so happened that Chen Mu was going to sell Ganoderma lucidum in the city today, so why not do the little girl a favor and sell the rice field eels in Yangshi as well.

"Xiaoyue, can you see if this works." Chen Mu said, "I'm going to Yangshi to sell Ganoderma lucidum today, why don't you give me the rice field eel and I'll sell it in the city for you. You, I can give you 1000 yuan first, and if I really run away, you can treat it as 1000 yuan and sell the rice field eel to me."

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, someone in the car immediately said, "Little girl, since this brother has said so, you can hand over the rice field eel to him. If he really runs away, you won't lose 1000 yuan. In my opinion, whether this eel can be sold for 1000 yuan is still unknown."

"Yes, little sister, it's a good idea to ask this big brother to sell it in the city for you."

When Liang Xiaoyue heard about it, she hesitated, not because she didn't trust this big brother, but because she didn't trust that her eels could be sold for so much money.

She looked at Chen Mu and said with disbelief, "Can you really help me get the rice field eels to sell in the market?"

Chen Mu smiled. He took out his wallet from his pocket, took out the only 1000 yuan and handed it to Liang Xiaoyue, saying;

"Xiaoyue, you take this money first, and I'll give you the rest of the money after I sell the eels, do you think it's okay?"

Looking at the 1000 yuan handed over, Liang Xiaoyue took the money in disbelief. She got 1000 yuan before she even arrived at the county seat, which was something she never expected.

At that moment, in order to facilitate contact with Liang Xiaoyue, Chen Mu asked for her phone number.

After Liang Xiaoyue handed over the rice field eel to Chen Mu, she didn't have to go to the county again, so she got off the car and went home to wait for news from Chen Mu.
