Chapter 10: Looking at the mushroom market

Chen Dakui and Liang Xiufen came back in the evening.

Seeing Chen An calling the children in the yard, they couldn't figure out why Chen An brought so many things back at once?

But if Chen An wants to go crazy, let him go crazy, as long as he doesn't go sneaking around again!

After 10pm!

Chen An asked Han Shuya to put the two children to sleep, and at the same time, he woke up his parents and cooked a pot of crab porridge with Dachun.

While drinking porridge, Chen An said: "Dad, I want to repair our house!"

Houses were built in the old collective days, when people in the village built them together. There was no need to spend money. Whoever built the house would have to build it again!

The bricks and tiles are also made by ourselves.

Although it is still very strong, the country has changed too quickly since then, and there is no time to clean up the house. Every year when it is windy and rainy, some parts of the house leak, and even the walls get wet.

If time passes, this house will become dilapidated!

Moreover, Chen An felt that she could no longer treat Han Shuya badly. It could be seen that her life was quite good before. She came here to marry him, but she did not enjoy the blessing and was beaten for several years!

After the house is repaired, we will find a carpenter to make some furniture and a cotton player to make some new quilts.

"You can do whatever you like, I don't have the money to fix it for you!"

Chen Dakui took a puff of his cigarette and instinctively guarded against Chen An, but he didn't want to care what he was doing!

In his opinion, Chen An's so-called kindness was obviously just to find an excuse to ask for money from him!

My mother also had a sad face. She saw Chen An coming back after making money yesterday and thought he had changed!

Now he is making excuses to ask for money again. He must have lost all his money today!

She advised: "Da'an, Mom has nothing to do with you. As long as you do your duty, don't cause trouble, and stop spending money randomly, Mom will be happy, and the house can still be..."

She hasn't finished speaking yet!

Chen An took out 400 yuan and threw it on the table!

Yuan Jiao divided a lot of them, leaving the three of them stunned!

Before they could react, Chen An said: "Dad, you can use this money to repair the house, pick up the tiles again, and then pave and compact the ground."

Chen Dakui had never seen so much money in his life, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

I thought Chen An was fooling himself with the leaves!

But after blinking his eyes a few times, he still saw money, which made him dumbfounded.

"This, this money..."

Chen Dakui was so excited that he was speechless.

"Da'an, where did you get this money?"

Liang Xiufen asked hurriedly!

"I earn money by teaching others how to fry crabs. This is the royalties!"

"What's the fee?"

"...Anyway, it's money earned from selling technology. It's clean, so you can just take it."

"What is clean?

You are speculating!"

Chen Dakui slapped his cigarette on the table and angrily said, "You, you'd better surrender yourself tomorrow and strive for leniency!"

Chen An: "..."

This is the sadness of the people at the bottom in the great era, because there is no information and no correct channels, and their minds are filled with the pain of the past!

Little do they know that the world outside is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

"Dad, Chen An is a serious businessman, not what you said!"

Han Shuya helped to rescue him.

She could feel that Chen An had really changed!

"What are you crazy about?"

Liang Xiufen slapped Chen Dakui on the shoulder and helped her son: "Da'an knows how to make money, isn't that what you want to see?

The tiger's poison doesn't even eat its seeds, so you want him to surrender?

Let me see, it's not your turn to get the money. Shuya, you are more literate than us, so you can keep the money!"

"I don't……"

"Shuya, just take it!"

Although Chen Dakui was worried that this was speculation, he thought carefully that Li Guilian and Wang Yong were fine!

If he really wronged Chen An, wouldn't it make him feel cold?

But this is too much money. I have never seen so much money in my life, and I am afraid that I will make a miscalculation!

Han Shuya is literate, so she can rest assured with this money!

But the latter also felt that the money was too much, too much, and he was afraid that if he failed to manage it well and betrayed everyone's trust, he might even be beaten up by Chen An!

He hesitated to agree.

Both parents said so, and Chen An also felt that it was appropriate for Han Shuya to hold the money, because she was a real scholar, although she didn't know why she came here.

But Chen An believes she can manage the money well!

So he said: "Shuya, I will leave this money to you. Part of it will be used to repair the house, add quilts, clothes and furniture. You can buy whatever you want, and I won't interfere; I have other uses for the other part!"

Chen Dakui immediately asked: "What?

Do you want to take the gambling table and the wine table again?"

Chen An shook his head and said, "Dad, this money is used to collect fungi!"

Everyone knows fungi, but just like snails and crabs, they can't understand how they can make a lot of money?

Liang Xiufen was startled, "Da'an, my mother will be very happy if you can make money by selling mountain snails, so don't bother with the rest, right?"

You finally made money, don’t lose it again!”

After selling local goods well, he suddenly used the money to do other things. Chen An doesn't have that ability, does he?

Chen Dakui said: "What do you know?

If Daan is really making money, then I support..."

"Thanks dad!"

"snort!"

Chen Dakui turned away, lit the cigarette with a sullen face and started smoking again!

"But harvesting fungi is too risky."

Liang Xiufen said: "When I went to the market, I saw some people selling mushrooms, but they didn't make much money at all. Not many people eat them, and they are easy to spoil!"

"Mom, you don't have to worry!"

Chen An said: "I have my own way! When the time comes, Shuya will be too busy, so you and dad can help!"

It's mid-August now, the autumn air is crisp and clear. Anyone who has done military training knows that it won't rain at this time and the sun is scorching.

Collect raw mushrooms at low prices and dry them into dried mushrooms for easy storage and transportation.

Dried mushrooms are ten times more expensive than fresh ones, but they are still relatively cheap in rural markets.

The main reason is that the urban population has begun to pay attention to health and good nutrition, and the demand for mushrooms has increased.

People also eat it in rural areas, and most of them fry it after picking it up.

Even if it is dried in the sun, they keep it for themselves. It is hard to imagine that this thing can be sold at a good price!

Chen An took advantage of this information gap and wanted to make a fortune.

"We can't harvest much by ourselves. I need a lot. The more the merrier!"

"Mom and Dad, spread the news tomorrow and ask everyone to help collect the fungi."

"Let's just say we get 2 cents per catty for fresh ones, 3 cents per catty for sun-dried ones, and 2 cents per catty for those that are neither dry nor wet!"

Although there is a market for mushrooms, it has not yet formed a climate in urban and rural areas, and there is no price benchmark. Some people pick it and sell it in the town, some selling it for 5 cents a catty, and some selling it for 50 cents a catty.

Most of the time, the price depends on the appearance and mood!

But Chen An knew that after the drastic change in his family in his previous life, he went to a big city and knew that the market price of dried mushrooms was about 1 yuan per pound.

The price difference of 7 cents is already a very generous profit!

Before going to bed, Chen An said to Han Shuya: "Wang Defa and the three of them may be weird tomorrow. No matter what they do, don't be afraid or worry!"

"What's going on?"

"Let's talk tomorrow!"
