Chapter 119 Digging Spikes
"It's just a small potion, let's not look at it."
Mo Yu said with no interest at all: "Find a way to make her unable to continue her business. You should know how to do it, right?"
As he said this, he looked at his assistant coldly.
The assistant was in his fifties, very cunning and skilled at this kind of thing.
"Yes, Master, don't worry, I know what to do."
field.
Lianqiao and her mother collected thorns together.
There were especially many ground thorns today, so densely packed that there was nowhere to step. The whack-a-mole player couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw so many ground thorns, but Lian Qiao smiled so hard that her eyes curved. She said to her mother, "Mom, can we pick 500 today? I didn't expect there would be so many ground thorns today!"
"Well, don't talk, just dig."
Lianqiao's mother was also smiling happily, her hands moving non-stop, the small shovel flying around, holding the ground thorn in one hand, and using the small shovel to dig out the roots of the ground thorn, then throwing it into the basket, and then going to dig the second one. While she was talking, she had already dug several plants.
Three plants equal one silver coin.
Lianqiao didn't dare to delay any longer and started digging. The ground thorns looked cheap, but if there were a lot of them, they would still make money, even more than playing whack-a-mole.
But no one said it out loud, everyone was making a fortune in silence.
Lian Qiao's family has earned nearly two hundred gold coins, which is a huge sum that they could never have imagined before. Now Lian Qiao no longer has to worry about having no food to eat, and can even buy some cheap natural food to try occasionally. However, Lian Qiao's mother is afraid that one day she will not be able to dig ground thorns and will not make money, so she saves the money she earns and dares not spend it.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Another nest of gophers was lured out of their nests by Zhang Qiao. They ran all over the mountains and plains, and Zhang Qiao began to hunt them.
There were too many thorns on the ground today, and he accidentally tripped over one of them and fell to the ground. Not only did he fail to play whack-a-mole, but he was also bitten on the foot by a panicked mole. He was limping and it was difficult for him to catch the mole again.
"I say, what are you doing digging thorns in the ground?"
Zhang Qiao, who was sitting on the ground to rest, looked at a man digging thorns in the ground not far in front of him and asked in confusion.
He didn't like surfing the Internet and didn't have many friends, so he didn't know that ground thorns were being acquired in the free market. The man looked up at him, didn't answer, turned around and continued digging with his back to him.
"Why don't you answer?"
"Can this thorn be eaten?"
Zhang Qiao pulled up a ground thorn in confusion and put it to his mouth to taste it, thinking that the ground thorn should be edible, otherwise why would they dig it?
It's impossible that he went home to watch it!
"Hey, you can't eat it."
At this moment, Lian Qiao happened to walk over and saw him opening his mouth to eat the ground thorn. He quickly shouted, "The ground thorn is poisonous. You will die if you eat it."
"Is it poisonous? That's horrible."
Zhang Qiao immediately put down the ground thorns when he heard they were poisonous. He looked up and saw a girl about thirteen or fourteen walking over. She was squatting not far away, digging ground thorns. Her backpack was already filled with ground thorns. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ground thorns can't be eaten, so what are you doing digging them?"
"There are people buying it in the free market, so you can sell it for money."
Lian Qiao said with a smile.
"Hey, just dig your thorns and stop talking!"
When Lian Qiao's mother heard her words, she patted her on the back of the head and said coldly.
Nowadays, the price of ground thorns is high, and more and more people have started digging them up to sell. Lian Qiao's mother always has a sense of urgency, fearing that one day the ground thorns will be gone, dug up, or no one will buy them anymore. So she doesn't want more people to rush with them to dig ground thorns. The fewer people know about it, the better. Seeing Lian Qiao foolishly tell the news, Lian Qiao's mother wanted to scold her.
“So someone is buying it?”
When Zhang Qiao heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he opened the terminal to enter the free market. Sure enough, he saw the information about purchasing ground thorns. More than a thousand plants had been purchased, and the merchant had ordered 5,000 plants. One silver coin was three plants, which seemed very cheap, but there were too many ground thorns and they were easy to dig.
Compared to this, it is even more convenient than playing whack-a-mole.
Zhang Qiao was delighted and immediately smiled at Lian Qiao and said, "Thank you. I'll come and dig the ground thorns too."
As a result, more and more people began to dig thorns in the ground.
The ground thorns are also doing well. They will not decrease just because more people are digging them. Instead, they are growing well. In recent days, more and more ground thorns have popped up in various places in the wild, just like bamboo shoots after the rain. New ground thorns grow out of the ground every day, and they grow very fast, completely keeping up with the speed of people digging.
Yu Mu didn't go to the business hall to buy the ground thorns for one day, and the ground thorns had already purchased 5,000 plants and could not be purchased anymore.
"Oh no! The merchants have already bought out all our thorns. We can't sell them anymore. What should we do?"
That day, I returned home in the evening.
Many people stopped at the door of the business hall, feeling anxious.
Because the ground thorns were already saturated with harvested plants, and the merchant's order to purchase 5,000 plants had been fulfilled, the free market automatically closed its purchase function, leaving many people unable to sell their ground thorns. Lian Qiao had dug a lot today, and together with her mother, they had 500 or 600 plants. She had originally thought that this would bring a rich return, but she didn't expect to be unable to sell them.
She was anxious.
Lian Qiao's mother glared at her angrily and said, "I told you not to say anything, don't say anything. Now look at us. More people are digging, merchants won't buy them, and our ground thorns are rotting in our hands and we can't sell them. What are we going to do in the future?"
As he spoke, he began to cry unconsciously.
Thinking of the hardships in the past, she and Lian Qiao were still worried about a tube of nutrient solution every day half a month ago. Now they finally made money by digging ground thorns and no longer had to worry about starving to death. However, it happened that the ground thorns could not be sold, and they would soon return to the difficult days of the past.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll ask Aunt Yu Mu."
Lian Qiao immediately called Yu Mu on the terminal.
Yu Mu was watering the peanut field at the Lin family manor at this time. The soil had been activated and could normally grow plants, but the peanuts were germinating a little slowly. Only a few spores had come out, and it would take a long time for them to break through the soil.
"Ding-ling-ling."
At this moment, the terminal rang.
Yu Mu looked over and saw that it was an unfamiliar number with the business office logo on the number label. It seemed that the call was from the business office. Why would the business office call her out of the blue?
Yu Mu quickly took it, and then she heard a man's voice coming from inside. "Hello, Ms. Yu Mu, I'm Xiao Zhang from the sales office. Because you've already purchased 5,000 ground thorns, which meets your purchase criteria, we've automatically closed your purchase request. However, there are still so many people sending ground thorns that it's causing congestion in the sales office. I'd like to ask, are you still determined to purchase ground thorns? If you only want to purchase 5,000, we'll ask these users to leave. If you still want to purchase ground thorns, please increase your position and continue purchasing."
