The next day, Zheng Gan and his friends got up early. Today was the day of the mountain-chasing competition, so the village was bustling from early in the morning. After a simple breakfast, the group of four plus Sun Chao set off for the competition venue.
"You two have too little experience in mountain climbing. You must be careful when you go up the mountain. It's not just a problem of the road. You may also encounter some poisonous insects, snakes, ants, etc. Don't go deep into the mountain." Jiang Fusheng kept reminding Zheng Gan and Lin Hao on the way.
The Jiang family father and son and Sun Chao have all lived here all their lives and used to rely on this for a living, so they are very experienced. But they are not like that, even though Zheng Gan has had two experiences of driving mountains.
"Don't worry, uncle. We all understand. Safety comes first." Zheng Gan assured. However, he was not really worried about these problems. With the map plug-in here, he could see valuable mountain products and ferocious beasts in advance, so it would not be a problem to avoid them.
"Don't be careless." Jiang Fusheng said in a deep voice, "Let Xiaofeng go with you two. I don't expect him to accomplish anything great anyway."
These words were quite heartbreaking, causing Jiang Feng to cover his face and cry. Of course, he also knew that he could not catch up with his father and Sun Chao in terms of mountain climbing.
The group chatted and soon arrived at the competition site, which was also the entrance to the mountain. There were already a lot of people waiting here. In addition to the people from the village who came to participate, there were indeed many professional mountain chasers, and of course some tourists. After all, this was considered an above-average competition.
The rules of this competition are simple. You just need to find valuable mountain products within the specified range, the more the better. The final ranking of the competition will be calculated according to the value.
The champion of the competition will receive a cash reward of 30,000 yuan, the runner-up 20,000 yuan, the third place 10,000 yuan, and the next seven will receive some cash rewards. This is already a very generous reward for a competition organized by a county-level government.
Jiang Fusheng saw many acquaintances in the village and went up to greet them first. Zheng Gan and the others were also idle and stayed where they were, chatting casually.
"Boss Zheng?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard. Zheng Gan turned his head in confusion, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "It turns out to be Boss Hu. Long time no see."
Boss Hu was the boss who collected mountain products that they met at the mountain product trading market when they came back last time. Zheng Gan had sold mountain products to Boss Hu twice in total. He didn't expect to meet him again here.
"Haha, I didn't expect Boss Zheng to still remember me." Boss Hu said with a smile, "We are quite predestined to meet. Boss Zheng, are you coming to participate in the mountain-chasing competition as well?"
"Well, my uncle is from this village. The village is going to be developed, so I came back with him to take a look. I happened to come across a mountain-chasing competition, and I thought I'd just treat it as fun since I have nothing to do." Zheng Gan didn't hide it and told the truth. It wasn't something to keep secret anyway.
"That's great! Boss Zheng, if you find any rare mountain products, please come to me. I promise to give you a satisfactory price."
Boss Hu is a well-known local buyer, so he will definitely come to see what good things he can get in this mountain-hunting competition. Zheng Gan has obtained a lot of precious mountain products twice before, so it would be best to build a relationship with him in advance.
This mountain-hunting competition not only attracted many participants, but also many mountain product buyers. In recent years, the number of wild mountain products has been decreasing, and business has been difficult.
"Okay, Mr. Hu, as long as the price is right, I will sell it to you first." Zheng Gan laughed. There is nothing wrong with what he said. I am not familiar with you. If I can sell it to you at the same price, it will be very good to you.
Boss Hu also knew that no one could resist money, so it was already very good to be able to say that.
The two chatted for a while and then separated. The competition was about to begin, and Jiang Fusheng came back after chatting.
"As I said before, you must pay attention to safety. If anything happens to your two brothers, you should stay on the mountain."
Jiang Feng shuddered when he heard this, and then immediately patted his chest and promised that he would never let anything happen to these two brothers.
"Then, Brother Hao, I'll go to the other side first. See you in the evening." Sun Chao was the main player in the village, so when the game started, he said hello and then quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Jiang Fusheng did the same thing. After giving a few instructions, he left alone.
Their goal is to win and not let outsiders get the championship, otherwise the villagers who have lived at the foot of the mountain for generations will lose face.
"Shall we go too?" Lin Hao was eager to try. He went to the sea every day, so this was his first time to go mountain climbing, so he was naturally very interested. Seeing the contestants leaving one by one, he couldn't stay any longer.
"Let's go." Zheng Gan waved his hand, and then the three-person team started into the mountains.
Although there are many people participating in this competition, at least half of them are tourists. They are basically no different from people who come here for tourism. Going up the mountain and picking up mountain products are secondary. Taking photos as souvenirs is the first priority.
Lin Hao was doing the same thing, taking photos everywhere and even making a video call with his wife to show her the scenery. If Zheng Gan hadn't kicked him, he would probably have continued playing.
"You two follow me, I think there are some good things ahead." Zheng Gan took the lead. He turned on the map plug-in as soon as he entered the mountain, and all the mountain products within the range were in full view.
Jiang Feng and Lin Hao had no objections and followed behind very obediently. After all, they had subconsciously determined that following him would definitely bring them good results.
At this time, the map plug-in shows that there are many people around picking up mountain products, but they are all very ordinary, and the better ones are mushrooms.
"What kind of mushroom is this? It looks pretty good." After arriving at the destination, the sharp-eyed Lin Hao squatted on the ground first and asked curiously.
"Oh my god! This is a chicken mushroom!" Jiang Feng screamed, then immediately covered his mouth, and then looked around like a thief, fearing that he would be discovered.
"I seem to have heard of chicken mushrooms. It should be a very valuable mushroom. How much is it?" Lin Hao knew that this thing must be valuable as soon as he saw Jiang Feng's reaction, so he asked quickly.
Jiang Feng thought for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure now, but before, chicken mushrooms could be sold for 200 yuan per pound."
"Tsk, I thought it would be worth so much, but it's only about the same as a grouper."
