The next day, at dawn, Aniu took the men, women, and children of the village to the mountains in the south.
When they got to the woods, Aniu led everyone to carefully identify morels and told everyone the requirements for picking them.
After hearing this, everyone immediately rolled up their sleeves and started picking mushrooms.
When Ah Niu saw that everyone was very enthusiastic, he was so anxious that he started picking them too.
Zhou Bin and Li Nan prepared the scales and bags, waiting for everyone to come and hand in the mushrooms.
Originally, Li Nan and Xiao Hua also wanted to go picking mushrooms, but Zhou Bin didn't let them go.
He said that he was now the one responsible for earning money at home, and they and their old father just needed to enjoy themselves.
Seeing that Zhou Bin was quite determined, Li Nan didn't say anything.
While Zhou Bin was waiting to harvest the mushrooms, Zhou Jianren and others also heard about it.
Liu Ailing said in disbelief: "Is that guy a spirit? How can he have so much money to buy mushrooms?"
Zhou Jianren shook his head angrily: "Don't you know? I heard that bastard made some money recently and is very wealthy now!"
Zhao Meiqin, who was standing by, said angrily, "You didn't see how arrogant Li Nan was. He was wearing new clothes, twisting and turning on the street, showing off to everyone!"
"Oh my, how could this happen? How did that guy suddenly become rich? This is really unexpected!" Liu Ailing looked depressed.
Zhao Meiqin gnashed her teeth and cursed: "That Zhou Bin also beat up Zhou Xing and my brother. He was so vicious! He was so mad that he could kill me!"
Zhou Jianren was so angry that he rolled his eyes: "I heard that Zhou Jianming is still giving away good cigarettes everywhere. He is very capable!"
Liu Ailing's face was full of reluctance: "His father, his family is too arrogant, are we just going to let them continue to be so arrogant?"
Zhou Jianren said angrily, "They are lucky now, what can I do? I can't scold them, and my two sons are still cowards, what can I do?"
"Dad, it's not Zhou Xing's fault. It's because Zhou Bin was too fierce. Zhou Xing has been lying on the kang for several days." Zhao Meiqin defended.
Zhou Jianren said with disgust: "That's enough, you have no ability, what's the point of saying that? I've lost all my face! Now I don't even dare to go out!"
Liu Ailing said bitterly: "No! I can't stand Zhou Jianming's arrogant look, I must find a way to put a stop to his arrogance!"
Zhou Jianren sneered: "Humph! Just you? Stop embarrassing yourself!"
Liu Ailing shouted, "Just wait and see. I'm going to make his kid suffer a great loss this time!"
Soon, three days passed and the villagers had mastered the method of picking mushrooms. Many people had already dried the first batch of mushrooms they picked.
Since it is early summer and the weather is hot, the mushrooms were dried in one day.
Aunt Zhao and Li Jun were the first to deliver the mushrooms. Li Jun was carrying a bag and followed by Aunt Zhao.
As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Zhao shouted, "Zhou Bin, we are here to sell mushrooms."
When Zhou Bin heard the voice, he hurried out, and Zhou Jianming and Li Nan also came out to greet him.
"Aunt Zhao, how much did you get?" Zhou Bin said as he opened his pocket to check and found that the mushrooms were all good and had been dried.
So he put the bag on the scale and weighed it, and it was exactly almost ten kilograms.
He handed the bag to his father and asked Li Nan to write down the weight in a notebook. Then he did a simple calculation and directly took out five yuan for Aunt Zhao.
When Aunt Zhao saw that the money was really given, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "Oh, Zhou Bin, Auntie is so lucky to follow you!"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Aunt, don't say that. We are helping each other. You guys keep picking. I'll take as many as you can."
Li Jun smiled and said, "No problem, we'll go pick them right away."
After Aunt Zhao left, Liu Junyi and Aniu came. After weighing, Aniu's mushrooms were almost ten kilograms. Zhou Bin swiftly took out eight pieces and handed them to Aniu.
Liu Junyi looked puzzled: "Zhou Bin, why did you give so much?"
Ah Niu quickly said, "Dad, keep your voice down. I'll talk to you later."
The father and son took the money, talked in low voices, and left.
Later, Wang Quanwa, Wang Haichao and Zhou Dexing all came. Zhou Bin weighed their items one by one and paid them in cash on the spot.
The next day, more people came, and everyone brought dried morels to sell.
After four days of purchasing, Zhou Bin's yard had stored a total of 300 kilograms of dried morels, waiting for Zhang Hongwei to come and collect them.
Two days later, this morning, Zhou Bin had just finished his meal when he suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle at the door.
He hurried out to check and found that Zhang Hongwei had indeed arrived.
He parked his motorcycle and immediately walked forward with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I'm here."
Zhou Bin quickly handed him a cigarette and said, "Brother Zhang, we've been waiting for you."
Zhang Hongwei lit a cigarette and asked, "How is the harvest of morels going? Show me."
At this time, Li Nan and Xiao Hua also came out to greet them. Zhou Bin introduced them: "Brother Zhang, this is my wife Li Nan, and this is my daughter Xiao Hua."
The two of them smiled and greeted Zhang Hongwei. Zhang Hongwei was stunned when he saw Li Nan, and immediately said exaggeratedly: "Oh my God! There is such a beautiful daughter-in-law in this place!"
Li Nan blushed at this, and Zhang Hongwei praised: "This kid is also good-looking, and you can tell at first glance that he is a smart kid!"
Zhou Bin laughed. Zhang Hongwei was really talkative.
The two of them came to the place where the mushrooms were placed, and Zhou Bin opened the bag for Zhang Hongwei to check.
Zhang Hongwei immediately smelled the fragrance of the morels. He carefully looked at the quality of the mushrooms and immediately smiled with satisfaction: "Brother Zhou, your mushrooms are really good. I want them all!"
