After seeing this, everyone felt that the current screening method was better. Unlike before, they had to wait a long time before screening out all of them.
When it was the turn of a thin man, he asked, "Haili, your old man came to sell truffles this morning. They went to the one in Fangtian."
Luo Haili glanced at him and said, "Uncle Sun, I have nothing to do with them anymore. When their family delivered goods last year, my aunt's family confiscated them."
Uncle Sun laughed and said, "No wonder you didn't go to your sister's wedding. Their family..."
"Sun Er," Uncle Chen came out and gave him a sidelong glance. "Whatever happens to Luo Dayou's family has nothing to do with my Hai Li! Our family has long severed ties with that jerk."
"I know!" Sun Er said gloatingly, "I wanted to tell Hai Li that on the day when Luo Dayouxiao's daughter got married, the bride-receiving agent quarreled with Gong Xianghong on the spot, and the man's family kept saying they wanted to cancel the engagement, and the matchmaker persuaded them for a long time before they took the girl away."
"Serves them right!" Zhou's mother also looked gloating, "Evil will be punished by evil. I don't think those two black-hearted kids will have a good life in the future after marrying into a family like that."
Uncle Chen smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, we will see those beasts of the Luo family get their comeuppance sooner or later."
Luo Haili felt that she had nothing to do with that place anymore, and that family's good or bad had nothing to do with her.
Uncle Chen helped pour the truffles into the bamboo sieve and said to several villagers, "Brothers, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and help sift them out. We can also go back to dig truffles and make money!"
"Okay!" Several villagers came forward to help.
Using a bamboo sieve to sift truffles is similar to sifting rice at home, and there is no countryman who can't do it. With the help of a few strong laborers, all the truffles on the chicken bus were sifted out in a short time.
After seeing off Uncle Chen and the villagers, Yang Chunyan calculated that their village alone had sent over 4,000 kilograms of truffles. It seemed that today's harvest was even greater than yesterday's.
After Zhou's mother moved the truffles to the new oven, she said to her, "Your old man and grandfather have built a shed at the entrance of the oven. When Village Chief Qu and his men come, we should bring them over there to be weighed, so as to save the trouble of moving the truffles back and forth."
"In that case, someone will have to stay here in the afternoon and take the person over there to be weighed."
Yang Chunyan discovered this problem yesterday, but everyone is used to selling goods here, and there was no one here to guard and bring people over yesterday, so they had to receive the goods here.
"This is the only way. I have to collect goods for several months. It's so troublesome to move them back and forth like this every day!"
"Okay, then let's move the things over first." Yang Chunyan carried Xiao Jiuer in a sling, and the three of them moved the bamboo sieve and scale to the new baking room.
After a while Zhou Yiding also came to help collect the second-grade truffles and pack them into baskets. A total of 153 baskets of second-grade truffles, 65 baskets of lowest-grade truffles, and 70 baskets of third-grade truffles were produced.
After everyone loaded the goods, Zhou Yiding gave Yang Chunyan a receipt and said, "Sister-in-law, give me the passbook. I'll deposit the extra money in the bank."
"Okay!" Yang Chunyan gave him a memorial, "Yiding, there was something I wanted Huai'an to tell Wang Zhen, but he fell asleep before I could tell him, and I didn't have time to tell him this morning."
"Sister-in-law, you say!"
"This is what happened..." Yang Chunyan told him about Fang Sihai's family going up the mountain to dig truffles in advance, and explained to him the possible impacts of digging truffles in advance.
Let him go to Ning'an and tell Wang Zhen that it would be better to tell the bosses in the provincial capital about the harm of digging truffles in advance. Everyone should start now and formulate an industry rule to prevent later buyers from opening the market too early to purchase truffles in order to grab business.
Zhou Yiding felt that her worry was unnecessary. "All farmers know that things growing underground are like sweet potatoes. They cannot be dug up before they are ripe. If they are dug up too early, the yield will be low and the taste will not be good.
The same goes for truffles. Only a fool would dig them up and sell them before they are ripe!"
Yang Chunyan felt distressed when she thought of what Zhou Jiakang said, "Of course not. As long as there are people collecting, there will be people digging, because anything in the forest that you dig up belongs to you."
"Oh! I see. You are worried that Boss Feng will open the market early to collect goods in order to grab business!"
"From the opening of the market this year, it seems that Mr. Feng is still a rule-abiding person. I am worried that in the future, more and more merchants will come in to collect goods, and everyone will do anything to grab business."
"I understand. There are so many vendors who buy the goods, and there will always be some who don't follow the rules. If there is no restriction at that time, they will buy the goods whenever they want, regardless of whether the goods are grown or mature. They can only make money if they buy the goods."
“That’s what I’m worried about.”
"Don't worry, I'll tell Wang Zhen when I get there." Zhou Yiding climbed onto the driving platform with his bag, "I'm leaving!"
Yang Chunyan put her mind at ease and stayed at home to receive the goods and do the housework.
After Wang Zhen learned the news from Zhou Yiding, he sent a message to Yang Chunyan, telling her not to worry, he would collect all the information and have someone take it to the provincial capital to give to Boss Zheng, and after seeing the information, their suggestions would not be ignored.
Because he knew that the income brought to Boss Zheng by selling truffles this year was no less than that from his other businesses, and the investment was small but the profits were huge.
A week later, Wang Zhen sorted out the information and took it to Boss Zheng in the provincial capital.
After reading the information, they found Boss Feng's boss and showed him the information. The meaning was very clear: now only two companies would receive the goods. They could engage in a price war, but they must ensure the quality of the products and must not do anything that would destroy their own business.
As the two earliest bosses involved in this industry, they should formulate industry rules to prevent those who do not follow the rules from ruining the industry in the future.
After the negotiation in the provincial capital, they called Wang Zhen. That day, Zhou Huaian came back from Bailing Mountain to deliver medicinal materials into the city, and Wang Zhen told him the news.
"The provincial capital knows that you have set up several points this year and received a lot of goods as soon as they opened. They are also very happy. They also said that they heard that Boss Feng's several purchasing points here are not doing well, especially Fangtian, which is said to only receive one or two thousand kilograms of goods a day."
Zhou Huaian was happy to hear this and said, "Fang Sihai has a bad reputation in the village. In addition, he has occupied other truffle nests, so not many people from Fangtian Brigade deliver goods to him."
"Integrity. The most taboo thing for us in doing business is dishonesty. The villagers in Fangtian would rather go a long way to sell goods to your house than to his house, because Fang Sihai is dishonest."
"I think the person in charge there has no vision and chose Fang Sihai to help them collect the goods. If he had chosen someone else, our family would have received much less goods from Fangtian and Guanyin this year."
"Yes, the people at the purchasing point are really important. My brother said that a lot of their supplies in Hengshan and Pulin Town were robbed this year. Fortunately, the production this year is good, so the loss is not serious."
"Talk to my eldest brother and ask him to buy a four-wheel tractor and go directly to the neighboring Yun Province to collect the crops. The production there is not lower than ours."
"It's only been a short while since we started, so there's still time to set up two purchasing points over there. I'll go down there tomorrow and talk to him. If it's okay, we can come over there to pick up the goods and bring a four-wheeler with us."
"Then thank you for making the trip. I will go back first. Chunyan is still waiting for me!"
Wang Zhen nodded and walked him out of the alley. "Be careful on the road."
Zhou Huaian waved his hand, and Zhou Huaijun, who was guarding outside, started the tractor, and the two brothers drove out of the city.
It was past ten o'clock when the two arrived home. Lin Wu and the Lai brothers hurried forward to unload the goods. Zhou Huaian pulled Yang Chunyan and went back to the room with her.
He took off his waist bag and gave it to her, then took out 150 yuan and gave it to her. "This is the bonus from this draw. Keep the rest of the money and give it to me tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" Yang Chunyan took the waist bag and hid the money in the secret compartment under the cabinet. "Is there any news from Wang Zhen?"
"Yes, he said..."
"That's the best." Yang Chunyan was completely relieved after hearing Wang Zhen ask Zhou Huaian to take it back.
With big guys taking the lead in formulating industry rules, there is no need to worry about truffles being harvested by short-sighted people in a way that will destroy their future generations, as happened in the past.
The truffles here will also have a place in the market in the future, and the truffles dug by the mountain people every winter will be able to be sold at a better price.
"Mr. Feng has snatched away a lot of the supply from my brother. I suggest that he..."
"That's fine." Yang Chunyan said to him, "Huaian, Mom said the other day that the kitchen in the old house is leaking. I want them to live here in the future and not move around. What do you think?"
"Okay!" Zhou Huaian happily went forward and hugged her, "Yan'er, thank you, you are the best wife in the world."
"Slippery mouth!" Yang Chunyan pinched him gently, "You're trying to feed me with some magic potion again!"
"That's right!" Zhou Huaian hugged her and sat on the rattan chair. "Huai Qing came back the other day and said that Uncle Datian said that he would put our family on the list of the five best families in the village next year, and he said that we deserved it!"
"Look how proud you are!" Yang Chunyan snuggled in his arms and found that the weight he had gained some time ago had gone down again after being busy for more than a week.
He said distressedly, "Huaian, why don't we hire someone to help drive the tractor?"
"No, I'll go to Bailing Mountain and help sell the herbs. Also, Xu Laosan has to go with me tomorrow to pick up the goods. We've already collected 30,000 kilograms of goods today."
Zhou Huaian said happily, "Now more and more people are coming to Chuancheng to sell truffles. Some people drive their mules and horses for two days to come to our place to sell goods."
"There's so much cargo that you can't transport all of it even if you run all day long." Yang Chunyan thought for a moment, "I heard Yiding say the other day that if four-wheeled vehicles can't reach Baicaoping, they should be able to go to Baicaoping. How about you transport the cargo to Baicaoping and then have Yiding transport it out?"
Wan Xuejiao's due date is next month. Zhou Yiding is very nervous. Not only does he ask his mother-in-law to help take care of her, he also notifies the midwife and asks her to stay at his house a week in advance. If things don't go well, he can immediately send her to the town hospital.
"That's a good idea. I'll tell Yiding when he gets here."
"Yeah!" Yang Chunyan stood up and pulled him, "They're still busy outside, let's go out quickly."
"Okay!" Zhou Huaian lazily followed her, locked the door and went to help next door. (End of this chapter)
