Chapter 70 A Slight Lost
When the market day came in the county town, Gao Mingcheng took time out to go there.
He had saved a lot of honey these days and needed to find time to sell it. He had spent almost all of the more than 1,000 yuan he had without realizing it.
Medicinal herbs like gardenia are actually very cheap, only 40 cents per pound, but they cannot be used in large quantities!
But Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry. After he sold all the honey, he would earn a few hundred dollars. If someone was blind enough to rob him, that would be even better!
With this wonderful expectation in mind, Gao Mingcheng went into the city. After successfully selling the honey, he even wandered around the market on purpose, trying to attract some ignorant people.
During that time, someone did try to get close to him and steal his money, but before the thief could actually do anything, he was pulled away by his companions.
Gao Mingcheng pretended not to notice their movements, but in fact, they were all in the corner of his eye.
What happened? Was he recognized?
No way? After his rebirth, he had only been to the county town twice! The number of people he knew in the county town could be counted on ten fingers!
After walking around for a few more minutes, Gao Mingcheng found that no one dared to approach him, let alone steal his money. Wherever he was, it was quite safe.
After realizing this, Gao Mingcheng felt a little lost.
But he couldn't take the initiative to rob those people of their money.
After buying what he wanted at the market, Gao Mingcheng left the market. He didn’t plan to look for Gao Guobing, but decided to go home.
Seeing him leave, the people hiding in the dark all breathed a sigh of relief, except for the young man who tried to steal Gao Mingcheng's money. He was puzzled and muttered: "Chen Laoer, what are you doing? Why did you pull me just now? I saw money in his trouser pocket! I even saw a corner of the money sticking out!"
There was a "pa" sound, and it was Chen Lao Er who patted the young man's shoulder heavily. He said earnestly: "I saved your life, you know? You're treating us tonight, and we have to prepare some delicious dishes!"
The young man was completely confused.
Not only did you stop him from stealing money, but you also asked him to treat you to a meal?
"Hey, what's going on? Is that person your relative?..."
Another slap hit the young man's shoulder, causing him to grimace in pain. Just as he was about to glare at the man, he heard him say, "Hey! If I had such a powerful relative, I would die of laughter! Do you know Liu Daoba? Do you know He Dayou? Both of them suffered a great loss at the hands of that man just now!"
"I dare say, if you dare to steal his money, your hand will be broken! Not only your hand will be broken, but also the money in your pocket will be gone! That man is very ruthless!"
"Really?" The young man was skeptical, but his other companions nodded in unison.
That person is so ruthless!
Gao Mingcheng was unaware of the incident that happened in the market. He returned all the way to Gaojia Village and continued his plan of purchasing medicinal materials.
The yard of my grandmother's house is full of various medicinal herbs drying in the sun. Fortunately, the weather has been good recently, so after turning the herbs over and drying them for two or three days, they are almost dry.
Now that you have the medicinal materials, you need to prepare sacks to pack them.
Normally people are not so particular about it and the bags they use are fertilizer bags and feed bags, but when medicinal materials are packed in such bags, it gives people a cheap and counterfeit feeling.
This was the first time for Gao Mingcheng to sell drugs in his two lives. In fact, he had no idea about the tricks involved. However, there were resources in the mountains, so he wanted to give it a try and felt that he had the ability to withstand the risks.
He had someone make beehives, and placed them in different locations in the mountains. He also captured the queen bee and locked her in the beehives. As long as the queen bee settled here, the worker bees would come to build nests, reproduce, and make honey.
He had a good idea. Even if he lost money on this trip selling medicinal herbs, he could continue to go to the mountains to make honey and hunt. After all, he would not starve to death.
After investing the money from the last sale of honey, it was almost all gone in just two or three days.
So Gao Mingcheng stopped purchasing medicinal materials.
"Why don't you want it anymore? I know a place where there is a large area of gardenias, and I'm planning to go there to pick them tomorrow!" When the villagers who had been actively picking herbs to sell heard that Gao Mingcheng would no longer collect herbs, they immediately became dissatisfied.
Gao Mingcheng was not afraid of them. He stood at the door with his arms folded across his chest and said nonchalantly, "I am collecting these herbs for another boss. He only gave me this much money, so of course I will only collect this much. Do you want me to pay for it? Even if I am willing to pay, how much money do I have on me?"
Yes, from the beginning, Gao Mingcheng never said that he wanted to do medicinal materials business, but he used the excuse of coming to the countryside to collect medicinal materials for a boss and earning a hard work fee.
He grew up in a mountain village. In fact, the atmosphere in Gaojia Village is pretty good. They can unite against the outside world and help each other. However, conjunctivitis is everywhere.
Even brothers often have subtle psychological states such as disliking others' poverty, fearing others' wealth, hating others' wealth, and laughing at others' poverty.
In the words of later generations, they are afraid that you live a hard life and are also afraid that you drive a Land Rover.
In order to avoid trouble, Gao Mingcheng simply said that he was just doing something for someone else, so that after he took out the capital, he would not arouse suspicion.
Since he started purchasing medicinal herbs, his family members have rarely looked for him. Only his younger sister came once and asked him if she could pick gardenias and send them to him to sell.
Of course Gao Mingcheng agreed immediately. It didn't matter who he collected the medicinal herbs from. Why did he specifically reject those from his own family?
Gao Mingcheng stopped the people who wanted to sell the herbs with just a few words. Seeing that they were getting addicted to the herbs, he said, "If you want to sell them, just keep picking them and then sell them at the market to see if anyone wants to buy them."
The villagers were a little hesitant. If they picked the fruits themselves and no one wanted them, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?
But there are also people willing to give it a try. Since a boss asked Gao Mingcheng to purchase medicinal materials on his behalf, there must be other people who will also purchase them.
It doesn't matter who you sell it to, just do it!
The day Gao Mingcheng stopped purchasing medicinal materials was October 11, which was five days away from the Zhangshu Medicine Fair.
But if you want to attend the pharmaceutical trade fair, you have to go there at least two days in advance, so Gao Mingcheng has to prepare for the trip in the next one or two days.
Looking at the medicinal herbs that filled half the room, Gao Mingcheng fell into deep thought.
It seems...the development of things is not what he expected!
There are not enough things and the money earned is not enough, so it is not cost-effective to make a round trip.
But there are so many things, how can he carry them?
Although he is very strong, he doesn't have three heads and six arms after all!
At this moment, Gao Mingcheng had a headache.
Even at night, he did not meditate for the first time, but was thinking about how to deal with the herbs. It would not be possible to do it alone, so he had to find some helpers.
The first choice of helper is Gao Zhuang, but two people are not enough, so we have to find another one. Who should we find?
