Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

"No, it's fifty thousand. It has to be well dug. If it's damaged, it won't be worth that much. I'll give you a few big wooden boxes. After you harvest the fruits, put them in deerskin bags and then put them in the boxes. That way they won't be easily damaged. And you have to be quick. If someone else delivers it first and you deliver it later, it won't be worth that much. This is something a big customer bought for an elderly person in his family."

Liu Xia Lian vaguely remembered that in 1987, a 110-year-old ginseng was produced and bought by a local winery for 1.7 million yuan. Now that the reform and opening up had just begun and money had not yet been circulated, 50,000 yuan was a sky-high price.

"Okay, I can only say that I'll try my best to find it. An eighty-year-old ginseng is not a carrot. I can just pick it up from the vegetable garden and leave."

The only things that needed to be sold in retail were small miscellaneous fish. When the two men drove to the morning market, it was busy and bustling with people coming and going.

The old man who managed the market greeted Liu Xialian from a distance: "Girl, you are here. I have reserved a seat for you."

The old man was a very nice man. He left a place for the carriage and even prepared a bundle of corn stalks for the mule.

People who often come to the morning market are familiar with this stall. The prices are not high, but the fish are fresh, so they sell out quickly.

A dozen pounds of small fish are not worth much money and can be sold for only five or six yuan in total. It is enough for ordinary workers to spend a few yuan or eighty cents to buy a few pounds of fish to improve their lives.

Liu Xia Lian's stall has also been bought out, charging fifty cents a day, or twelve yuan a month.

In just an hour, all the fish were sold out and the stall was closed. Liu Xia Lian took out a few taels of small river shrimps that she had prepared earlier. The price was not cheap, more than two yuan per pound.

"Uncle, there are only a few ounces of small river shrimp left. It's not worth selling them. You can take them and eat them."

The old man was very happy: "Thank you, girl. This is a good dish to go with wine. There is a new game restaurant in the back street. I saw them coming to buy pheasants. You can ask them if they want your goods."

"Okay, thank you very much, I'm leaving now."

After leaving the market, Li Damei praised: "Sister Xia Lian, I was scared to death this morning. The bandits are so scary. You are amazing. Why can't I practice like that? I have been practicing for three days, but I am still timid. I have been brave, but I am still not brave enough."

"Haha, you also said that we have only been training for three days. Your physique is not bad, you should be able to protect yourself in three months. Don't be discouraged, let's go find Yang Bin."

Yang Bin rented two houses in the forest farm guesthouse, which served as an office. After handling the goods, he would send them to Anguo, Hebei by train. He was not often here every year, so there was a young employee who was responsible for receiving the goods and making payments.

"Is Manager Yang here?" Liu Xia Lian knocked on the door.

Yang Bin had already changed into a Zhongshan suit and hurried out when he heard the voice.

"Xia Lian, thanks to you just now. I was so scared that I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet. Please accept my greeting." Yang Bin said as he was about to kowtow.

Liu Xia Lian quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, it's just a piece of cake. It's no big deal, just a small matter. The scarred man is a wanted criminal with several lives on his hands. The other two are newcomers, it's nothing, nothing."

Yang Bin was horrified when he heard this. Who is the most terrifying person? Of course the wanted criminal. After all, there are lives on their hands, so one more or one less will not make much difference.

"What about those three people? Have you dealt with them?"

"Manager Yang, don't worry. He has been sent to the forestry security department. It will take at least ten years. He won't be able to leave in the short term. I came here to discuss some business. I will pick up the goods in the village and send them back to you. Do you think it's okay?"

Yang Bin said without hesitation: "Okay, that's great. As long as they don't use fakes to fool people, I'll take as many Changbai Mountain products as you can get."

"Then please Manager Yang write a price list for me. I'll remember it so I can pick it up when I get back."

Yang Bin took a piece of paper and wrote down more than 30 kinds of common medicinal herbs in Changbai Mountain. Most of them were sold at prices of 70 or 80 cents. In the village, the price was 30 or 40 cents, and the profit was at least 50 percent. Of course, the price fluctuated, it was not fixed, and there were peak and off-peak seasons.

"Collecting and selling goods is just the simplest way to play. When the medicinal materials are on the market in large quantities, we collect them, then store them, and then sell them in the peak season. This way, the profit can be much higher. Sometimes, with a thousand yuan, after storing them for a few months, we can sell them for three or four thousand yuan, which is much more profitable than collecting goods."

In the past, this was considered speculation, but now with reform and opening up, individuals can buy and sell herbs and mountain products, and the village encourages villagers to go into the mountains to collect herbs and hunt to make money, but at the same time, many villagers have no professional knowledge and do not know how to hunt and collect herbs, and they lose their lives for no reason when they go into the mountains. They go in whole and come out half dead, and some even have their bones missing.

The peddlers carrying loads on their shoulders exchanged extremely cheap needles and thread for medicinal herbs picked by villagers from the mountains, making several times the profit.

Yang Bin took out 500 yuan and put it on the table: "Xia Lian, take this 500 yuan first, it's a down payment, and you can use it as collateral for the goods later."

Liu Xia Lian smiled slightly and pushed it back: "Thank you for your kindness, Manager Yang. In business, we should be clear about the accounts so that we can go further. Let's settle the accounts normally. However, the quantity is not small. How can our village produce one or two thousand kilograms every month? Can you eat it?"

"Don't worry about this. Some major medicinal materials are used in quantities of hundreds of thousands of kilograms a year. Wild ones can no longer meet market demand and all have to be cultivated. For example, ginseng, salvia miltiorrhiza, honeysuckle, and isatis root will probably have to be cultivated in the future. Honeysuckle is especially useful for colds and fevers, mosquito repellent, and herbal tea. It's very priced."

Liu Xia Lian first sold a batch of medicinal herbs she had picked a few days ago, a total of 35 kilograms. The prices varied, but generally more than twice the price paid by street vendors.

There are a lot of details to know when buying medicinal materials. What grade of medicinal materials is good, how to check the quality, how to store them, how to prevent them from getting moldy, and how to prevent them from tainting each other's taste. There is so much knowledge involved that Yang Bin gave Liu Xialian a purchase manual that he compiled internally and asked Liu Xialian to figure it out on her own.

"Thank you, Manager Yang. We'll leave first and deliver the goods in a few days."

Yang Bin accompanied the two of them all the way to the door of the guesthouse before turning back.

The woman at the front desk was quite gossipy and asked, "Boss Yang, who are these? You are so polite to them."

"Remember to treat these two people well next time. They are my lifesavers. We were robbed this morning, and this girl beat three robbers with a stick. I gave her 200 yuan, but she didn't take a penny."

The receptionist didn't dare to say much. She was still a woman, a delicate girl, who knocked down three robbers with one stick. It was incredible and terrifying.
