The spring breeze of reform was like a warm and strong whirlwind, which eventually blew to that remote black market.
Due to geographical limitations, news spreads relatively slowly here, but because of this, when others have not yet noticed the changes, they can still seize the initiative in purchasing mountain products.
Gu Changmu was well aware of this rare opportunity, so he decisively ordered Huang Po to pass on this important information to his brothers who had not come to the capital with him that year.
After learning the news of the reform in advance, these brothers were filled with hope.
Huang Po took on the responsibility of teaching them how to start a business.
After all, for this familiar land and its rich resources, as long as we seize the opportunity, we will definitely be able to achieve something.
Taking into account the fact that there are many mountain products in the areas surrounding the black market, Huangpo generously donated a sum of money to them and explained in detail the key targets of the acquisition.
Among them, hazel mushrooms, winter mushrooms, flower mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms are the primary focus. If you are lucky enough to receive the extremely precious Hericium erinaceus, it will be icing on the cake.
You know, hazel mushroom, shiitake mushroom and hericium erinaceus are known as the three most famous mushrooms in Northeast China!
In addition to various types of mushrooms, other unique local specialties such as hazelnuts, pine nuts, pecans, ganoderma lucidum, gastrodia elata, black fungus, and forest frogs are also an indispensable part of this purchase list.
Especially those valuable wild ginseng and red ginseng, if you can find them, the more the better, and you will take as many as you can.
After hearing Huang Po's instructions, the brothers immediately became energetic, quickly packed up their carts, and set out on the journey to the various teams below with great anticipation.
Before long, they arrived at their destination. It was the season when every household had stored a lot of mountain products, which undoubtedly provided them with an ample supply guarantee for their purchase.
The purchase price they offered was indeed quite considerable, which made the simple villagers very excited.
You know, going to the town to sell these mountain products is not an easy task. It takes at least a whole day to go back and forth.
For villagers who are busy in the fields all day, the time cost is too high.
Moreover, in this village, many people still have deep-rooted ideas and always believe that farming is the foundation of their livelihood.
They are accustomed to a life of farming, working from sunrise to sunset, and have a deep affection for and dependence on the land. So, when they can sell mountain products at their doorstep and earn a good income, who would refuse?
In this way, it didn't take long before they successfully collected hundreds of kilograms of mountain products.
As the saying goes, good news travels a thousand miles, and people from other nearby villages quickly learned that someone here was buying a large amount of mountain products.
Everyone heard the news and rushed here excitedly, bringing all kinds of mountain products they had picked or stored, hoping to turn the goods in their hands into real money.
For a moment, the originally quiet little place became extremely lively.
Just then, an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face slowly walked up to them.
He approached cautiously with a slightly unsteady step, seemingly hesitant, but eventually mustered up the courage to speak softly, "Um... my family has accumulated quite a bit of red ginseng over the years. I wonder if you guys need any?"
When Jianhua and Jianjun heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they felt ecstatic.
You know, they had heard Huang Po mention before that red ginseng is really worth a lot of money in big cities!
If they can successfully purchase this batch of red ginseng, they will definitely make a lot of money!
Thinking of this, the two brothers almost jumped up in excitement and quickly answered in unison: "Uncle, we took it! We took it! After we finish our business here, we will go to your house right away. Is that okay with you?"
The old man with a weathered face and white hair saw them nod and agree to go to his home to collect red ginseng.
The heart that had been hanging in his throat finally settled back down. The old man secretly felt relieved that this trip was not in vain.
On this side, they looked at the chaotic situation in front of them that was difficult to resolve in a short time, and had no choice but to arrange for Jianjun and the old man to return to his residence first to collect the red ginseng.
After all, the current situation does not allow any further delay.
It is worth mentioning that in recent days, Jianjun has put a lot of effort into studying the knowledge of various precious medicinal materials.
In particular, he was well versed in the knowledge related to red ginseng.
In this way, Jianjun, with a wealth of knowledge, set out on his journey home with the old man.
As soon as he stepped into the house, the old man could not contain his excitement and hurriedly took out all the red ginseng that he had carefully collected over the years.
Jianjun took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp: Wow! This pile of red ginseng must weigh at least a hundred pounds!
It was the first time that Jianjun had seen such a large number of red ginseng. Each one was rosy in color, plump in texture, and exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.
The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with deep emotion: "These red ginsengs were collected by my son and I through hard work in the mountains!
It’s a pity that the middlemen in town have kept the prices very low, so we have no choice but to keep them here.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
