When Jianjun and his men arrived at the location, they saw the mountain produce covering the ground and were impressed by Sun Daguo's quick action.
"Da Guo, go and get a big table and call the villagers over."
"Okay, I'll go to Third Brother right away."
Jianjun brought a lot of things, including electronic watches and radio tapes, but he brought slightly fewer leather shoes and wool coats.
Jianjun and Tingting are very smart. With so much stock, are you really going to sell it all in town?
Although the town still has strong purchasing power, the market will eventually become saturated.
So people in the village still really like these things, and having even one is considered quite remarkable.
Unlike in the city, there's no fixed salary in this village.
Now they don't have to spend their own money; everything in the mountains is readily available, so they're definitely willing to spend that much.
If you have a child who is getting married, bringing this big item will make you look good.
Isn't this the same as selling the goods? Both sides make money, which is perfect.
"Is everyone here? We're going to weigh them now."
No, no.
Jianjun had just stood there when he saw many people running towards him, carrying a lot of things in their hands.
"I just came down from the mountain. Here are these things. Please take a look and see where to put them."
"Just put it to the side, that's fine."
"Now I'll start weighing it from this doorway. I'll check it later, and if it passes inspection, I'll accept it."
"I'm just helping someone out, so please be understanding. If things go wrong later, I won't be able to explain myself."
"Okay, you must be Guo Jianjun. You look like a lucky man."
"Thank you, Uncle."
The uncle started praising Guo Jianjun right away, clearly hoping to buy his mountain products later.
Jianjun understood, and without saying anything, began to weigh the items.
"Here's the thing, I have to tell you that I need to put all these things together and weigh them to calculate the total weight. I'll keep track of how much your family took."
"He can get the money from you then, and if there are any people who don't want to exchange money, they can come and exchange for goods."
"There are digital watches, radios, cassette tapes, coats, and complete sets of clothes here—all good stuff."
"You all know how much the supply and marketing cooperative charges, right? The things here are cheaper than there, and they're all good quality."
"You can take a look. There's enough time now. We can see what to change later. I don't come here often."
"These can be used as gifts when the child gets married."
"Come on, let's not waste any more time, let's weigh it now."
“Hazelnuts, I checked, there are 7,000 jin in total, that’s quite a lot. Where did you get all of them in such a short time?”
“We all have these that we already had at home. How much do you want for them?”
"We buy hazelnuts for 5 cents, wood ear mushrooms for 10 cents, dried mushrooms for 4 cents, and if you have fish or wild vegetables, we'll take them too."
“For example, shepherd’s purse, dandelion, etc., we’ll buy them for 1 cent each. You know these things aren’t very valuable, but we still want them.”
Actually, these wild vegetables may not seem valuable now, but they will be quite valuable in the future.
In the future, when everyone's living conditions improve, everyone will love to eat this wild vegetable and think it's healthy.
Jianjun and Tingting don't plan to sell now either. It's the early 1980s now, and everything is cheap.
Buy now, sell in a few years, and you'll make a fortune.
"We buy fish, crabs, shrimp, eels, and other fish for 50 cents a pound. Now, as you know, fish are 80 cents a pound."
“But when you get to this town, they can’t eat all that food. It will all spoil when it gets hot. But I’ll take as much as you can.”
"If you have any, please let Da Guo know. If I don't have time to come, Da Guo can come and collect them."
"However, I'll need your help to deliver this to town later."
"Oh dear, why didn't you say so earlier? There are so many wild vegetables on the mountain. If we didn't have nothing else to eat right now, who would eat that?"
As soon as the old woman spoke, everyone looked at her.
She realized she had said the wrong thing and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Um, that's not what I meant. You should weigh it, you should weigh it."
"Okay, I've finished speaking. Now let's weigh them and see how much they cost."
"We just bought 7,000 jin of hazelnuts. At 5 cents per jin, that's 350 yuan in total."
"Make a note of this: walnuts, 500 yuan per kilogram. Record this."
"You dried 20,000 jin of mushrooms. Where did you get so many in just two days?"
"Third Brother, it shouldn't just be theirs, but also their relatives'. I heard they brought over what they gave to their relatives. These were all things they picked from the mountain and dried."
"Now I see mushrooms and wood ear fungus on the ground in every house."
"Alright, it seems that money is the motivation."
"You're quite the great nation, having accomplished so much."
"The wood ear mushrooms cost 2000 yuan."
"These wood ear mushrooms are so valuable, so expensive!"
Jianjun didn't reply. You think this is already quite a lot now, but it will be even more expensive in the future.
"Continue, we still need to weigh it."
"Isn't this a wild kiwi? It's also called a soft jujube. We buy these too, as many as you can get."
Jianjun thought to himself, "This is a good product. I'm only paying a penny now, but I can sell it for tens of yuan a pound later."
"This weighs 200 jin (100 catties), give me 2 yuan."
"This is 4,000 jin of chestnuts, and this one is 200 yuan."
"Do you buy mulberries, blueberries, and wild pears?"
"Buy the mulberries and blueberries. Be careful when you put them in the bag, as they are easily crushed. If they are all in good condition, I will buy them."
"If you want to weigh them, fine, one is 150 jin and the other is 200 jin."
"It's 3.5 yuan in total, that's fine, I'll take it all."
"This is Aralia elata sprouts, monkey head mushroom, this is fine."
"If you have any of these, I'll take them all, if you can find them."
"Get on the scale."
"This prickly ash sprouts are 100 or 120 jin, and cost 1.2 yuan. This monkey head mushroom is 300 jin, and costs 4 fen per jin, which is 12 yuan."
"Continue, pine nuts, this is 500 jin, 25 yuan."
"Oh, this is linden honey, right? This is fine, 10 cents a pound. If you have wild honey, we'll ask for 15 cents."
"100 jin, 10 yuan."
"Jianjun, do you want to take this? It's a type of 'Mao Cigu' (a type of mushroom)."
"We'll take all the common ones, but if it's morel mushrooms, we'll offer a higher price."
"This weighs 100 jin (50 catties), give me 2 yuan."
"Alright, these must have been freshly picked, right? They're really juicy. I can only offer them at half price, is that okay?"
"Okay, okay."
"First, we need to weigh 200 jin of mushrooms. This costs 1.5 fen, which is 30 yuan."
