Tang Jiamei was also overjoyed; their family's life was going to get better and better.
Gu Wei was very happy to see that his goal had been achieved smoothly.
Zhao Zhengyuan said excitedly, "My third sister's in-laws have wild ginseng, and it's even better than the one we have. They even asked me about it the other day. Brother Gu, I'll take you there tomorrow."
Gu Wei was overjoyed. He could sell wild ginseng in the modern world to make money. Who would complain about money biting their hands?
"Okay, let's go together tomorrow."
Afterwards, Zhao Zhengyuan was ordered by Tang Jiamei to work as an assistant in the kitchen.
Gu Weize sat at the kang table in the east room, drinking tea and chatting with Zhao Dajiang.
Gu Wei put down his teacup: "Uncle Zhao, there's actually something else I'd like to discuss with you this time."
Zhao Dajiang paused in his hand as he rolled the cigarette, staring intently at Gu Wei: "You say it."
Gu Wei said what he had prepared in advance: "After trying your vegetables with dipping sauce, I really liked them. I feel that vegetables grown in the black soil taste the best. So I was thinking about whether we could grow them on a large scale and sell them to other places."
Zhao Dajiang's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked excitedly, "How much can we sell this for in other places?"
The vegetables we grow are just for our own consumption. If we take them down the mountain to sell, a bundle doesn't fetch much money, not even enough to cover the cost of the journey and the round-trip bus fare.
Gu Wei said confidently, "It will definitely be much more expensive than what you sell it for locally."
Zhao Dajiang was instantly excited: "This is a great thing! The forest farm may have been doing well in previous years, with high wages and subsidies, but now the timber is dwindling, and it might be shut down any day. Then we forest farm workers and our families will be left with nothing to do. If you do a good job with this vegetable selling business, all of us at the forest farm can make money! We won't have to worry about anything anymore..."
"This is just a trial phase for now, so Uncle Zhao and your family should handle it. Once the sales channels are established, we can let the other people in the forest farm make money together."
Gu Wei knew that with the complete cessation of logging, the forestry industry was bound to fail, and it would be considered a lot if only a few or a dozen households remained in a forest farm's residential area.
His main purpose was to benefit Zhao Dajiang's family and indirectly compensate them; otherwise, he could have gone elsewhere.
Zhao Dajiang felt that Gu Wei's words made sense: "Okay, then let's first study the matter of my family leasing land."
