"Go back, we'll go back now."
"That's right, camping here is just asking for trouble."
"I need oxygen during the day. If I get altitude sickness at night, there won't be any chance of rescue."
…
As soon as the pastoral tour guide finished speaking, Li Er, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were the first to step forward.
We thought we could harvest a lot of Cordyceps just by going up the mountain, but after searching for a long time, we only found one or two.
If we hadn't met that group of groundhogs later, we would probably still be searching tirelessly now!
With this probability, there is no benefit at all in staying in the mountains except starvation, coldness and insect bites.
After hearing the opinions expressed by his father and brother, the exhausted little kid did not object.
When going up the mountain, the little girl walked almost half the distance by herself, and after reaching the mountain, she followed everyone to look for Cordyceps.
If I hadn't been so excited, I would have fallen asleep by now.
As for the others, they were equally exhausted.
Besides, everyone has already experienced the process of digging Cordyceps. Staying any longer would just be repeating what we did today.
Compared to camping in such high-altitude areas, they prefer to return to the homes of their nomadic guides to rest.
Upon hearing that Zhou Yu and others were about to return, the pastoral tour guide immediately checked the direction.
Just now, following that group of groundhogs, we circled around several hills. If we return the same way, we will definitely have to take a lot of detours.
After carefully identifying the direction, the herdsman tour guide took the lead and walked down the mountain.
The youngest, Li Shu and Xiao Naitianzi, naturally climbed onto the backs of Li Er and Xiao Naitianzi.
The mountains here are not very steep, and there are no twists and turns in the process of going down the mountain.
When the group arrived at the wooden house where the car was parked, it was already completely dark.
Everyone drove to the groundhog's nest, left all the food there, and then drove directly towards the herdsman guide's home.
Since everyone came back rather suddenly and considering that the herder guide might not have time to prepare dinner, Zhou Yu suggested having a meal at a roadside restaurant.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned to the herdsman's home.
After parking the car, the first thing Zhou Yu did was to arrange for the little princesses to wash up.
After all the little girls fell asleep, Zhou Yu and Li Er, father and son, came to the living room of the pastoral guide's house.
As early as when they just came back, the herdsman tour guide invited them to clean and weigh together.
However, compared to the pastoralist tour guide's emphasis on these Cordyceps, Zhou Yu was more concerned about whether the little princesses slept comfortably, so he did not come over.
When Zhou Yu and others arrived at the living room of the herder guide's house, he was cleaning the dust off the Cordyceps with a brush under the light.
You can tell from his movements how focused he is.
The number of these Cordyceps had actually been calculated when they were picked up.
The only thing that needs to be determined now is the weight of these Cordyceps.
According to the original plan, Zhou Yu was going to keep all the Cordyceps.
But when I heard the herder tour guide say that this thing also has a shelf life, I gave up the idea of keeping them all.
Moreover, the Cordyceps grown in modern times are definitely not as good as those sent by Lu Dongzan from Tubo in terms of growth environment.
More importantly, this thing is considered a medicinal herb.
As the saying goes, every medicine is poisonous. He really doesn't dare to eat this thing as a meal.
As soon as everyone entered the living room, Li Tai, with a tired yet excited look on his face, approached the herder guide and asked, "How much Cordyceps have we picked today?"
"Haha~ You really are rewarded for your kindness. Not counting the ones that haven't been cleaned up yet, there are already more than four pounds. If we clean it all out, it will definitely be five pounds. Tsk tsk~ I've lived for most of my life and I've never seen such a harvest."
The herder tour guide brushed the Cordyceps in his hand while pointing to the electronic scale next to him.
I'm so excited that I probably won't be able to sleep well tonight.
Zhou Yu had previously learned about the price of Cordyceps.
Although the price may fluctuate, it should be no problem to sell these five kilograms of Cordyceps for around 400,000 yuan.
In other words, by rescuing and feeding a few groundhogs today, we have reaped at least 400,000 yuan in rewards.
It’s no wonder that the pastoral tour guide said that good people will be rewarded. After all, such luck is almost the same as winning the lottery.
Because Zhou Yu wanted to keep some for himself, after cleaning up, the pastoral tour guide helped to screen out some more.
The pastoralist tour guide had a rough idea of the wealth of Zhou Yu and others.
Families like this who can form a car fleet and travel with their children during non-holiday times are naturally not short of money.
So when selecting, he picked out all those that were large in size and good in quality.
As for the rest, Zhou Yu did not generously give them all to the pastoral tour guide.
Because as early as when the tour guide contract was signed, it was agreed that all the gains from this trip would belong to Zhou Yu and others.
Of course, with his current wealth, he would not be so stingy as to not give a penny, and he would naturally promise to give the rewards that are due.
After all, the processing of these Cordyceps still depends on the help of the herders’ tour guides.
The pastoralist tour guide was naturally delighted to receive Zhou Yu's promise.
His two sons are both public servants and their family conditions are pretty good, but who would complain about having too much money?
And according to Zhou Yu's promise, after this trip, including his tour guide fee, he can earn at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
With motivation, the pastoralist tour guide became even more excited. After telling Zhou Yu and others to rest first, he became busy again.
Zhou Yu originally wanted to advise him to get enough rest, but he said that when he cleaned it up at night and dried it in the morning the next day, he could sell it in the afternoon, so it would not delay Zhou Yu and others' journey.
After hearing that Cordyceps only needed to be dried for half a day before it could be sold, Zhou Yu didn't insist any further.
After saying hello to Li Er and his son, he returned to his room to sleep.
Perhaps because they were too tired, everyone slept in the next day.
It was not until noon that he climbed out of bed in a daze.
After washing up and coming to the yard, I saw the pastoral guide’s wife carefully turning over the Cordyceps.
After seeing Zhou Yu, she wiped her hands on her clothes, then pointed to the kitchen and said, "Breakfast is heating up on the stove. My husband is out at the market."
As they were talking, the sound of a motorcycle was heard outside the yard.
Zhou Yu turned around and saw the herdsman tour guide riding a motorcycle into the yard.
On the back of the motorcycle, there was a slaughtered pig.
The pig is not very big, and its snout is long and its ears are small. It looks like a thin wild boar.
The nomadic guide stopped his motorcycle and before even getting off, he excitedly said, "If you can hold out for a while, I suggest you don't eat yet. Otherwise, if you can't eat later, you'll regret it~"
