After the three-wheeled vehicle rumbled to the foot of Jiguanshan Mountain, Lin Mo thought to himself, it's only noon now, and I'm not hungry anyway.
Why don't we just leave all the frozen mushrooms in the car right now and take a detour around the foot of Jiguanshan Mountain to check things out?
My dad once said that the mountain to the northwest of Jiguan Mountain, which runs diagonally alongside it, is called Niubei Mountain.
It is said that Niubei Mountain is half a mountain higher than Jiguan Mountain, and the altitude of the summit can reach about 1,500 meters.
The colder and more barren the place, the less likely it is to produce anything.
If we go and take a look, and if there really isn't any mountain produce on Niubei Mountain, then we can avoid exploring these high mountains in the future.
They only went to explore those earthen mounds that were several hundred meters high.
After thinking it over, Lin Mo turned his fully loaded sidecar around and drove northwest for a while.
When he arrived at a valley, he dumped twenty sacks of frozen mushrooms into them, and then drove the empty car rumbled all the way towards Niubei Mountain.
There was no one else around except him; not even a trace of animals could be seen. The only things that could be seen were the occasional hoof prints left on the snow.
The higher you go, the sparser the eucalyptus and camphor trees become, and the wider the gaps between them.
It's a winding uphill road, with turns here and there, and it really takes a lot of gas.
I originally thought the trees would become sparser as you went up.
Just as he was starting to feel short of breath, Lin Mo suddenly spotted a few sparse, giant red pines standing in front of him.
It was as thick as a eucalyptus seed, with a diameter of at least one meter!
Korean pine is a unique pine tree in the Greater Khingan Mountains. It has a very long lifespan. People die of old age five or six times in a row, but the Korean pine is still alive.
Trees like these, with a diameter of about one meter, are generally over two hundred years old.
When others planted and took root, the United States didn't even exist yet.
More importantly—
This red pine tree still has pine cones growing on it!
And it produced such a bountiful harvest!
Red pine nuts are also one of the few mountain products that can be collected in the Greater Khingan Mountains during winter!
There are scattered red pine resins here, and red pines usually grow at an altitude of over 1,000 meters.
In other words, the top of Niubei Mountain is very likely a large area of red pine forest!
Lin Mo tightened the accelerator and zigzagged his way up the mountain!
In more developed times, this stuff could sell for five or six hundred, or even over a thousand per kilogram!
It should sell for at least a hundred now, a price comparable to that of a wild pine.
The village chief's list also included red pine nuts, but the price he offered was too low—only twenty-one jin (approximately 10.5 kg). Isn't that just bullying people?
Look where this red pine is growing. It's on Niubei Mountain, at an altitude of about 1,500 meters.
It's so remote, and they only gave us this little bit. What a loss.
Only with our sidecar motorcycles can we get to such distant and high mountains to transport the pine cones back, which clearly shows that the quantity is limited.
In this way, it's as if we've temporarily monopolized the source of red pine nuts?
If Xu Zhenting buys camphor and pine nuts from the villagers at 1.5 yuan per jin, then we'll pay 2 yuan per jin for peeling them and ask the villagers to peel them for us.
While pondering this in his mind, Lin Mo had already arrived at about halfway up Niubei Mountain.
When the feeling of chest tightness became slightly more pronounced, Lin Mo estimated that he had reached an altitude of over 1,000 meters.
At that moment, he suddenly slammed on the brakes, staring in disbelief at the uphill slope before him—
The trees here are very sparse, and you can no longer see the Scots pine.
At first glance, all that could be seen was barrenness and desolation, with only white snow covering the landscape.
However, there is a red pine tree standing every ten meters or so.
It's sparse, but it's still a forest!
Red pine forest!
As far as the eye can see, there are red pines with reddish-brown bark!
It's a pity that my father didn't know that the pine nuts extracted from the pine cones of red pine trees could be sold for money. Perhaps even if he had known in his time, there would have been no way to make money from them.
otherwise……
Even if he didn't find a red pine forest on this trip, one red pine tree would be enough for him to harvest fifty or sixty kilograms of red pine kernels. Being able to harvest so much in one trip would already be a great deal.
After memorizing the route, Lin Mo, who rarely made the trip, took out the last dozen or so burlap sacks that he had hidden under the side seat.
He picked up the pine cones that had fallen around the red pine tree.
After filling the container to the brim, they turned around and headed down the mountain.
After I get back, I need to pack up and get ready.
I'm getting ready to go on a long trip.
Establish your own sales channels.
Forget about the village chief's connections; he only gives that little bit of money...
...
After Xu Zhenting rudely and forcefully snatched away Wu Fengshou's pine nut business, Wu Fengshou delivered the last of the pine nuts to his older brother and then returned to the village.
To figure out what that little brat Xu Zhenting was plotting, he deliberately kept quiet for a few days.
I've been secretly observing Xu Zhenting's movements for the past few days.
However, Xu Zhenting's actions were nothing special; he simply rode his motorcycle around the village, showing off, with Jiang Ying by his side.
The two of them were like a pair of adulterers, oh wait, no.
Judging from their posture, it's obvious they're a pair of adulterers, as if they're afraid the villagers won't know.
That's why they keep wandering around in front of people, as if announcing something everywhere.
Then many villagers went to the Nenjiang River to fish, with several households banding together to cooperate, since it was winter and the Nenjiang River was covered with thick ice.
Going it alone won't work; the only way is for several households to cooperate and work together.
After observing secretly for a few days without discovering anything else, Wu Fengshou decided to go to the Nenjiang River.
Upon arriving at the Nenjiang River, he quickly spotted dozens of villagers who seemed unfazed by the cold, their trousers rolled up, their hands and feet soaked.
