I thought the mountain roads here would be difficult to walk, but to my surprise, they were quite easy.
They chatted and laughed all the way.
There are quite a lot of lichens on this mountain, and they're quite large too, but it's quite slow to pick them up.
They each had a plastic bag in their hands and were picking up soft, fibrous material from the ground.
This was the first time Hong Baobao and Li Qing had done something like this.
To be honest, it's quite easy, but since the two of them are just starting out, they're a bit slow.
Chen Yong and Zhang Xiao had both done this kind of thing before, so they were much faster.
There were four of them in total. They searched from ten o'clock until noon without going back. As for food, they bought pancakes and ate them with a bag of baby bok choy that cost five cents each for lunch.
They kept collecting until 5 p.m., and surprisingly, the four of them collected quite a lot.
“Let’s take them to the street and sell them tomorrow,” Hong Baobao said.
The amount they collected today should be enough to make some money. Zhang Xiao said that a pound of ground ivy can sell for forty yuan. They collected about six pounds today, which should sell for two hundred and forty yuan. That's pretty good.
I just don't know if I can sell them successfully tomorrow.
Hopefully, it will sell successfully.
By the way, they can go out and see if there are any other ways to make money tomorrow.
In the evening, after dinner, they picked up the lichen again, which made it much cleaner.
The next day, Hong Baobao and Zhang Xiao went to the street, while Chen Yong and Li Qing continued to go up the mountain to pick up wild herbs.
This was Hong Baobao's first time on the street. It happened to be market day, so there were a lot of people coming and going. Hong Baobao and Zhang Xiao went to a steamed bun shop and sold the lichen.
Zhang Xiao had previously told Hong Baobao that it would be 40 yuan per jin, but today when she came to sell it, she was actually selling it for 50 yuan per jin.
This was a pleasant surprise for them.
The lichen sold for a total of 316 yuan, and Hong Baobao was very satisfied. After receiving the money from selling the lichen, she felt extremely content.
Their day on the mountain yesterday was definitely worthwhile.
Hong Baobao was overjoyed. She took a picture of the money and posted it in the group chat.
Chen Yong and Li Qing also saw the money and realized that the lichen they had picked up yesterday had sold for 316 yuan. The two were also very excited.
Because they actually made money from the sales, they were even more motivated and picked up the lichens even faster.
After wandering around the streets, Hong Baobao discovered that the barbecue skewers on the street were quite good.
Hong Baobao thinks this is definitely worth a try.
After Hong Baobao shared this idea with Zhang Xiao, Zhang Xiao also thought it was feasible.
I have to say, selling skewers on this street is actually quite profitable.
Zhang Xiao has a classmate whose mother sells skewers. She heard her classmate mention that her mother can earn around 500 yuan a day if business is good.
Even if business is slow, you can still earn a hundred yuan a day.
Hong Baobao acted immediately. She decided to prepare and then started selling skewers.
Selling skewers has costs; she needs to buy ingredients and such.
This would cost money, so Hong Baobao told everyone in the group.
When Chen Yong and Li Qing saw this, they simply told Hong Baobao to handle it herself.
They still have a lot of faith in Hong Baobao.
