At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
Lotus came four more times, each time carrying a large bag of herbs.
Wang Yue'e also specially made a large cloth bag for He Hua to carry so that she could put as much as possible in it.
Going back and forth like this every day, it's inevitable that people will see it.
Mu Ruanruan told the truth and said that she was collecting some herbs for the owner of the herbal medicine shop in town.
Those people asked her again how much she wanted, and Mu Ruanruan told them the prices of several medicinal herbs.
Some people half-jokingly said that it was not cost-effective for her to do business at a loss.
Mu Ruanruan smiled: "Anyway, I'm just helping out someone I know in the village. There's no point in talking about whether it's cost-effective or not."
The man asked cautiously again, "If I come across these herbs, can I pick them and sell them to you?"
Mu Ruanruan nodded: "Of course, it just needs to be cleaned of mud and sand, and there must be no weeds. After all, if I spend more time doing this, I will really lose money."
Those people nodded, each with their own thoughts, thinking that Mu Ruanruan's request was very low and very reasonable.
The next night, she received nearly three times the amount of medicinal herbs, but they were delivered by one person.
Many packages with people's names on them were delivered much later than Lotus's, so they did not bump into each other.
Mu Ruanruan weighed the items one by one, calculated the price, and recorded it in a notebook. Finally, she copied the money and the accounting notebook again and handed them to the visitor.
When the man borrowed the money, his eyes lit up and his hands trembled. He didn't know whether he found it incredible that Mu Ruanruan actually bought the herbs and paid the price she had agreed to before.
That incredible price.
Soon, all the educated youth knew about this matter.
Many of them have few work points, either because they don't work hard or because they are unable to do the job. After all, they don't have much work experience. Over the years, they can't even get enough to eat and have to go to the village committee to borrow money and food.
When it was time to distribute grain, they had to pay off the debts from the previous year first. As a result, they would not be able to make up for the next grain distribution and had to borrow again.
This cycle repeats itself year after year, and few people can pay off their debts. Instead, they owe more and more.
It’s not that they haven’t thought about finding something else to do, but they are already exhausted from working during the day. At most, those who are physically strong will go to the farmers’ private plots to find something to do and earn a meal.
Most people would rather skip dinner than move again.
Nowadays, you can go to the mountains to dig medicinal herbs after work, wash them and exchange them for money directly. The price is high, and a little more can be enough for a meal. It is much easier than working in the fields.
Therefore, both men and women are willing to do this.
Except for a few people.
Liao Xiaohong is not short of money, and Qi Juan does not care about material enjoyment. Both of them are unwilling to do more work. After get off work, they go home and lie down to read and chat.
Qiu Mei, on the other hand, did not get along with Mu Ruanruan. She thought that Mu Ruanruan was being hypocritical and was sacrificing her own interests to get involved with these people. She especially looked down on Mu Ruanruan.
Although Sun Lili wanted to do it, there was a gap between her and Mu Ruanruan because of the issue with Dai Xiaohu, and the two of them never met alone afterwards.
Except for these four people, everyone else had heard about this and sent some herbs over.
On the day the news came out, Mu Ruanruan achieved the breakthrough of becoming a ten thousand yuan household.
The main reason was that a male educated youth actually sent a precious wild ginseng, which was sold for five thousand yuan.
According to the modern market price, it would cost at least tens of thousands, but Space unexpectedly gave several reasons, probably saying that the high price of this kind of medicinal material in the new century was mainly due to speculation, and this wild ginseng, although precious, was not very heavy.
After doing all the math, we settled on a figure of five thousand.
Mu Ruanruan was dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do. The space did not provide any communication channels at all, and it was basically a unilateral agreement.
You have to count for what it gives you.
Fortunately, prices are different in this era, and even five thousand is a sky-high figure.
Before long, the livestock and poultry in her space will have grown up, and she can make several thousand yuan by selling them.
If she accumulates a few thousand like this, she will soon become a wealthy woman.
After the lotus herbs were processed, Mu Ruanruan felt very happy as she watched her wealth growing rapidly.
As I felt better, I ate a little too much for dinner, so I went downstairs for a walk to help digest the food.
There is a small path downstairs, not far from the dormitory, and there is a small activity center inside. It used to be an open-air auditorium used for village mobilization meetings.
There aren't many such meetings these days. We only come here when we distribute grain every year.
Usually, children will play games here, and adults will come here to dry some dry goods.
At night, this place is dark and deserted.
Mu Ruanruan took a flashlight and decided to take a stroll on the empty mountain.
These people have lived in Shangshui Village for decades. Except for a few newly arrived educated youth whom she is not very familiar with, the rest are all acquaintances.
Not to mention leaving doors unlocked at night, there are indeed relatively few people who go out at night to steal.
Mu Ruanruan didn't think that she would meet anyone when she went out for a walk to digest her food so late.
When she heard footsteps, she had already held the electric baton in her hand.
"Sister Ruan Ruan, don't be afraid, it's me."
Li Dazhu's hoarse voice sounded not far behind her.
Mu Ruanruan turned her head to look at him, and shone the flashlight over, but it didn't hit his eyes, but his chest.
Li Dazhu was in a daze, as if recalling something. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Mu Ruanruan.
