Chapter 58 One-time Sale
Luo Xiaohua's arrival made Gao Mingcheng feel a little bad, and he felt more urgent to make money. So after lunch, he went to the mountains again in the afternoon, this time to get honey. He planned to get more, and when the market came to the county town, he would take it to the county town to sell it.
Today is the 4th, and the county market will be on the 6th. He plans to make honey today and go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. It would be best if he could shoot a yellow muntjac, and then bring them to the county market to sell.
After selling all these things, he should have nearly a thousand yuan in his hands.
These two days, Gao Mingcheng was traveling alone in the mountains. He was fascinated by the feeling of tranquility and freedom.
In his previous life, he didn't like mountains and felt that they bound him. He liked the colorful world outside and liked to compete with others. His life had been smooth but also had its ups and downs, and he experienced a lot.
But now that he has returned to 1986, he has a feeling of returning to nature.
Especially after getting the two pages of gold foil, he meditated every night, practiced boxing in the mountains in the early morning, ran freely in the mountains and woods, and got meat at will.
If I choose to leave this small mountain village and go to the city like I did in my previous life, I will have to rush around day and night and live in a small house, making it difficult to stretch my muscles.
For the sake of freedom and happiness, he was reluctant to move to the city too early, and when he chose to move to the city, it must be when he had some assets and could live well in the city.
And this family fortune can be given to him by the mountains.
Time passed quickly, and as Gao Mingcheng wished, he not only got more honey, but also caught two muntjacs.
He caught this yellow muntjac alive on purpose to prevent its meat from spoiling due to the hot weather.
September 6th, sunny.
After waking up, Gao Mingcheng went to the middle of the mountain to practice a set of boxing as usual. Then at about six o'clock, he picked up his load and prepared to go to the county town.
The reason why he has to carry the load is because he has no car!
The honey had no suitable container to be filled, so it was still placed in the big jar. Fortunately, the jar was big enough to hold forty or fifty kilograms of honey. On the other side of the shoulder pole, there were two yellow muntjacs with their limbs tied up. The muntjacs were alive, so they could be sold at a higher price.
The yellow muntjac is not big, and the two ends together weigh less than 100 pounds. The weight of the jar itself plus the honey is not light, but it is still a little lighter than the yellow muntjac. When people carry a load, one end will be heavy and the other end will be light.
But the solution is easy. Just move the shoulder pole so that the heavy part is in front and the light part is in the back. This way, it will be more coordinated.
He carried a load on his shoulder and walked as fast as the wind, quickly shuttling along the country roads. Along the way, he met many people who were also carrying loads on their shoulders and heading to the county town. Some of them were riding bicycles with a large bamboo basket tied to one side of the bicycle, which was full of things.
Halfway through the journey, Gao Mingcheng met a special father and daughter. The father was also carrying a load on his back, but one side of the load was piled with vegetables, while on the other side a little girl of five or six years old was squatting.
The little girl was wearing a floral dress and had two pigtails. She had a pair of round eyes that were full of lively light and looked very smart and pretty.
When she saw Gao Mingcheng, her eyes lit up and she said loudly, "Dad, look at that brother, he's walking so fast!"
His father was a simple-looking man. He also glanced at Gao Mingcheng and said with a smile, "Dad also walked that fast when he was young!"
"Really? Dad is so awesome!" The little girl was a little skeptical, but still praised her father.
The father and daughter laughed heartily together, and the laughter gradually became lower in Gao Mingcheng's ears until it was completely inaudible, because his speed far exceeded that of the father and daughter and he had already walked ahead.
Even though he was fast, it still took him nearly an hour to reach the farmers' market in the county. If he was not carrying any load and did not need to slow down deliberately, it would only take him half an hour at his running speed.
Gao Mingcheng raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was five minutes to seven.
He did not rush to find a place to set up his stall, but went to eat something first. While eating, he asked people if there was any place that could buy honey in large quantities.
It would be best to sell all the honey this time at once, even at a lower price. Selling it bit by bit not only requires no containers, but also takes time.
The people who set up stalls selling breakfast here were naturally very familiar with this place, so they pointed out a few places to Gao Mingcheng and asked him to go over and ask.
Gao Mingcheng took the last bite of food, put the bowl down, said thank you, picked up his load and left.
Following the instructions, he came to a grocery store. The store occupied two storefronts and was filled with all kinds of things. The store owner was doing good business, and many people were picking out goods there.
Gao Mingcheng asked him if he would accept honey, but the boss didn't even look at it and just waved his hand and said no.
Seeing that he was busy selling goods, Gao Mingcheng did not stay for long and continued walking with his load on his shoulder.
Some people noticed what he brought and came up to ask. They found out that he had no container to store the honey. Some people left with regret, but one person told him that he could go to a store to buy some jars.
After listening to the advice, Gao Mingcheng ran to buy a jar. If no one was willing to buy the honey, then he would naturally have to sell it bit by bit.
Unexpectedly, he went to the place where jars were sold. The owner of the jar shop knew that he bought them to store honey, so he asked him how much each pound of honey was and suggested that he wanted to taste it.
Gao Mingcheng was generous and scooped out a spoonful with a spoon.
The wild honey in the mountains is the most mellow.
If you raise your own honey and shake it too frequently, the honey may not be fully brewed, contain too much water, and not be sweet enough.
But there is no such worry for wild honey. Before Gao Mingcheng collected the honey, the honey bees had already been operating in the mountains for many years.
"Such thick honey! Sweet! So sweet!"
"How much do you sell this honey for?"
Obviously, this person is connoisseur of goods. After taking a bite, he was tempted to buy it.
"If you sell them individually, it'll be seven yuan per pound. If you buy them all, it'll be six yuan and a half per pound." Gao Mingcheng really wanted to sell them all at once, so he hinted.
The shop owner was indeed tempted, but was still hesitant.
Gao Mingcheng continued, "Boss, you have a store here, and honey won't go bad, so you can sell it slowly."
"How about this, I'll lower the price a bit, six dollars and thirty cents!"
"Six dollars, I want it!" The shop owner saw Gao Mingcheng's intention and decisively lowered the price.
But Gao Mingcheng didn't let him have his way. He shook his head and refused: "Six dollars and two cents. If you don't like it, forget it!"
He sold it for 6.2 yuan, and after the store owner bought it, he could make 80 cents per pound, which was not a low profit.
"Six bucks! I'll take all the honey you get from now on!"
The shop owner continued to increase the price, which made Gao Mingcheng hesitate.
Finally he agreed. Going to the mountains to get honey was just a little troublesome for him, but selling honey bit by bit was also a hassle.
He nodded and started to get the honey out of the jar.
Because the shop owner sells cans, he packs the goods directly into cans and then weighs them together.
After a busy work, Gao Mingcheng produced exactly 50 kilograms of honey and easily earned 300 yuan.
While he was counting the money, a young man wearing a bat-shaped shirt and bell-bottom pants was standing not far away. His eyes were staring at the money, flashing with greed.
But he didn't come forward, but walked away quietly.
Let me reiterate, my product is very good, I will never run away! Sometimes there are many things in life, so I may update later, but it is definitely guaranteed to be 4,000, and I will add more from time to time after it is put on the shelves!
Please keep your ticket because I have such a good character!
