Li Feng shrugged his shoulders: "Brother, I'm really not bragging. I used to go to college in Haicheng, and my house often sold mountain mushrooms. Naturally, I paid attention to the price there."
Man: "Are you still a college student? How come you are selling this crap?"
Li Feng: "Yeah, isn't there something going on at home..."
The two chatted briefly and found out that the man also graduated from Haicheng Medical University, his name was Chen Guangming, fifteen years earlier than Li Feng, and he was still considered a senior.
Now the relationship between the two became closer. After chatting about the school for a while, Chen Guangming became more and more heroic and said: "Xiao Feng, it's not easy for you to sell vegetables. I'll give it a try. If it's really more delicious than home-grown mushrooms, I'll pass."
I'll call you again in two days, and you can bring me to the factory."
Li Feng was very happy to hear this. He really didn't expect to sell all the mushrooms and quickly followed him to the furniture factory.
The large electronic scale over there made Li Feng worry-free. He weighed the items and found that the total was 203 jins. Li Feng gave up three jins and counted it as 200 jins.
Chen Guangming took 500 yuan and walked around the factory with Li Feng, chatting about school affairs.
When I found out that Li Feng was still a talented student, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "Xiao Feng, it's a pity that you sell vegetables. It's not easy for a college student to grow up in this mountainous valley."
Li Feng smiled bitterly: "What can I do? I had an eye disease a few years ago, and I stayed at home for four or five years. Now I can't go back even if I want to."
"How about you come to my factory to help?" Chen Guangming suggested.
Li Feng waved his hand: "No, no, no, no, brother Chen. I study Chinese medicine. I can treat people well, but I can only cause trouble for you with these wooden furniture and other things."
Chen Guangming: "What's the point? Give it a try. This thing doesn't have much technological content. It just depends on the type of wood. The most expensive ones are mahogany and rosewood..."
Then he talked for a while, which made Li Feng gain some knowledge.
He had heard about mahogany, rosewood, huanghuali, etc. before, but those things were often hard to come across. But now he realized that these classical household materials are not the only ones, such as pine, cypress, elm and so on.
It is one of the materials used, and the price is equally expensive.
Especially the larger ones have stronger cutting plasticity and the price will be higher.
After chatting for a while, Chen Guangming saw that Li Feng had no intention of working, so he didn't press for it.
After leaving the furniture factory, it was still very early. Li Feng walked around the town again, bought a candied haws, and pulled a piece of floral cloth for Qin Xiuli before returning to the village.
It was around ten o'clock in the morning when she got home. Qin Xiuli was a little puzzled when she saw Li Feng coming back so early: "Xiao Feng, you sold out now?"
Li Feng: "No, I met a big customer today..."
Then he told Chen Guangming about buying mushrooms.
Qin Xiuli nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "That's a big factory. I'll go to the mountains to collect wild products in a while. I'll definitely be able to collect 100 kilograms in these three days."
Li Feng grinned: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to go, just let me go. I haven't been to the mountains for a long time, so I went to the mountains to relax."
Qin Xiuli thought for a moment: "Well, that's okay. I'll make this piece of cloth into sheets for you to put on in the afternoon."
The two agreed, and Qin Xiuli quickly started cooking. After dinner in the afternoon, Li Feng took the things and went up the mountain.
Picking mushrooms is an unpleasant job. Although mushrooms are very common in the mountains, they don't have much weight when dried.
Li Feng came to the mountains simply to see if there were any other ways to make a fortune.
Li Feng was also a little disappointed as he walked all the way into the mountains.
There are a lot of good things in the mountains, including medicinal materials, mountain products, wild animals and so on.
But the distribution is too wide, and it takes a lot of time to collect them. To put it bluntly, it is just like picking mushrooms. There are obviously many mushrooms in the mountains, but those who really sell mushrooms often choose to cultivate them personally, which means that the time for picking is much longer than the time for planting.
The same goes for medicinal materials and other local products, they are available but you have to look for them!
If we take this time, we still don’t know when it will be done.
This is also the reason why those who purchase mountain products make more money than those who harvest them. Although those who collect mountain products make less per pound, the more they collect, the more money they will naturally make.
It would be great if we could find a relatively concentrated place where we could collect a lot of them at once.
Thinking about it all the way, Li Feng continued to move forward. There were many people coming to the mountain next to the village. Most of the useful things on the mountain had been collected. It might be better to go deep into the mountain.
Not to mention, the deeper the wind goes, the easier it is to find mushrooms. The trees in the mountains are denser and shady, and most of these mushrooms grow in shady places.
In this way, we arrived at the mouth of Baixi in the mountains. The sack was almost full of mushrooms. Li Feng was very thirsty. He ran to the mountain stream and took a few sips of water. Then he rested against a tree, feeling a little discouraged.
.
I picked a lot of mushrooms, but after drying this bag, I can sell it for a hundred yuan at most, and I have to go to the market to deliver it. In the end, it's not as much as earning at work.
While he was thinking about it, Li Feng looked up and suddenly saw the branches and leaves on the tree, and his eyes lit up instantly.
Elm tree? This is an elm tree? It’s so big!
While thinking about it, Li Feng quickly stood up and circled around the big tree.
This made him very happy.
In the morning, he and Chen Guangming talked about the wood. Chen Guangming said that the price of the elm wood was that the ordinary elm wood at home with the thickness of a bowl could be sold for two thousand yuan per square.
If the diameter exceeds half a meter, it can cost more than 4,000 yuan per square.
The elm tree in front of me is too big, with a diameter of seventy centimeters, straight and tall. If it were sold like this, it would probably fetch a lot of money.
right!
Just do it! Anyway, no one cares about the trees in this deep mountain forest. If one tree is missing, no one will care.
After thinking about it, Li Feng began to study the terrain again.
This place is more than ten miles away from the village, so transporting it is not an easy task.
The only way is to float down the stream.
The stream at Baixikou is heading towards the village. Because it rushes down the mountain, the water is not slow. As long as you tie a rope to adjust the direction, you can smoothly transport it to the mountain.
Li Feng did what he said. He first cleared out the rocks around the tree, and then used the knife to dig out the roots of the tree.
It was almost done. When it got dark, Li Feng carried the mushrooms down the mountain.
When she got home, Qin Xiuli had already prepared dinner. After Li Feng finished eating, he first packed up the tractor at home.
My brother passed away in the past few years, and no one is running the machine. Fortunately, it is in good condition, and it just needs to be pumped up and oiled.
Qin Xiuli saw Li Feng busy and looked puzzled: "Xiao Feng, what are you doing with the tractor at night?"
Li Feng smiled: "Sister-in-law, we are going to make a fortune this time..."
Then he talked about the big elm tree.
Qin Xiuli didn't know much about this aspect, so she said worriedly: "Is it true? Can elm trees be sold for so much money?"
Qin Xiuli obviously didn't believe it. After all, willow, elm and locust tree were the most common tree species in the village.
Li Feng smiled confidently: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, you will spread out some egg pancakes for me later. I will cut down the trees in the evening and bring them to town tomorrow morning."
"If everything goes well, we can get at least tens of thousands of dollars tomorrow."
Qin Xiuli: "How about I go with you."
Li Feng waved his hand: "No, sister-in-law, it's not safe in the woods at night. If you really encounter a tiger or a leopard, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you..."
