"Brother, this is my summer vacation. I have nothing to do and I don't like to play. Just let me go into the mountains with you."
Ziqiang pulled Gu Zhaocheng and begged, still very eager to make money.
Ziqiang can be regarded as a very financially savvy kid at the forest farm.
If Liu Yuliang hadn't been unwilling to do so, he would have made money from the neighbor's children in the forest farm and would have been talked about behind his back.
When Ziqiang was in the first grade of elementary school, he could think of wholesale snacks from the town, go to the forest farm, and then sell them to other children to earn the price difference.
This economic acumen has surpassed many college students of this era.
"Then you can't go into the woods. It's so dangerous in the woods. Your task now is to study. If you really want to have nothing to do, wait for your second brother to rest for a few days and let him take you two for some tutoring."
Originally, it was not something unacceptable for a child to go into the mountains at the age of nine.
Children here in the forest area, seven or eight-year-old children, follow their parents into the mountains to pick some mushrooms, pick up some pine nuts and walnuts, and collect traps. It is not something they cannot accept.
In the past two generations, people in the forest area would do this kind of thing.
But Gu Zhaocheng thought that Zhaoxi was frivolous and Ziqiang wanted to go into the forest. Zhaoxi would inevitably want to play, so Gu Zhaocheng refused Ziqiang without hesitation.
"Brother, it's summer vacation. I can't just study. I also want to do something at home and help my parents."
Ziqiang replied to Gu Zhaocheng sincerely.
The children were very serious when they said this, which made people feel sincere.
Gu Zhaocheng also had some sympathy for self-improvement. He thought for a moment and said, "If you really like to help the family, then you can help your elder brother. I wonder if you can do that?"
"Of course I can. If you want me to help you, brother, just tell me."
"Brother, go down to the ground cage by the river. Can you help me collect it every few days? Not only can our family eat these fish, but we can also sell them for money if there are too many?"
Going to the river to collect a cage is certainly not a completely safe thing to do.
But compared to the various unstable risks in the woods, the riverside is still much milder.
As long as you don't go into the water intentionally, nothing will happen.
After all, this location is a mountainous area, and it is not that easy to completely isolate the children from the river and the mountains.
In the family area of the forest farm, the children have left the mountains and rivers behind, and there is nothing left to play with.
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. I can do this."
Ziqiang agreed happily. He has been interested in making money since he was a child.
Of course, the main reason is that the children have learned to be grateful since they were young. After coming to the Gu family, they have been thinking about helping the family reduce the burden.
When the child lived with his biological father Liu Yuliang, he already had a clear way of being grateful.
I also try my best to help my father Liu Yuliang all day long, cooking and making some local products to reduce stress.
"Okay, come in and watch TV. I can already hear Journey to the West being played."
The Monkey King can be regarded as the collective memory of this generation of children.
Comics, animal movies, and TV series are recycled in various ways, and you won’t get tired of it.
Not to mention the Gu family, they haven't seen it all.
"Brother, when are you going to the river?"
Ziqiang looked at the room and said reluctantly.
I wanted to watch TV, but I was worried that Gu Zhaocheng would go to the river alone to collect the net.
"I'll call you when it gets over before dark in the afternoon." Gu Zhaocheng said to Ziqiang, letting the child watch TV without worries.
"Gu Zhaoxi, why did you come here too?"
Last winter, Gu Zhaocheng had proved with facts that Gu Zhaoxi had no interest in fishing.
He lacks a stable temperament. He is only willing to play when Gu Zhaocheng calls. When Gu Zhaocheng doesn't call, he is still more willing to play by himself.
"I'll be with Fourth Brother. If you're not at home, I can help Fourth Brother close the net."
Zhaoxi put his arm around Ziqiang's shoulders and said.
"Loyalty is quite loyal, but you are loyal to your fourth brother. Why haven't I seen you so loyal to my eldest brother before?"
It took a few months for Zhaoxi to become completely accustomed to the existence of self-improvement.
The two of them had a slight disagreement before arriving at the Gu family.
It has developed to the current state of conjoined twins who are inseparable from each other and are inseparable from each other.
"How old are you, eldest brother? Only the fourth brother is so old. Why are you still comparing yourself to the fourth brother?"
Gu Zhaocheng was joking, but Zhaoxi answered seriously.
"Okay, you can go with me, but don't think about going into the water to play. If you dare to go into the water to play, let me know, and you can just wait for me to find you to practice alone!"
Still a little worried about Gu Zhaoxi, Gu Zhaocheng threatened his little brother.
It can only be a threat. It is impossible to trap the little brother just because he is not at ease.
They are not allowed to enter the forest, nor are they allowed to go to the river. The restrictions on the forest farm are too great.
"Brother, why did you only tell me, why didn't you tell Fourth Brother?" Zhaoxi raised his opinion to Gu Zhaocheng.
"The same goes for self-improvement. If he dares to play in the water, my eldest brother will not bypass him."
Gu Zhaocheng almost had the same style as Gu Changshan when he met Zhaoxi.
In fact, he still has a self-improving character, which is more reassuring.
The naughty side of Zhaoxi's temperament is not that reassuring.
There is more time for reprimanding to bring joy, and less time for reprimanding for self-improvement.
This will make Zhaoxi feel that Gu Changshan and other people in the family are stricter on him.
"Brother, I will watch over the third brother and prevent him from playing in the water."
"Okay, Ziqiang, my eldest brother is most at ease with you. Seeing that your third brother won't get into trouble, I will leave it to you with confidence." Gu Zhaocheng gave Ziqiang a pat on the head to encourage him.
Sometimes it is true that one person is more likely to die than another, and the younger brother has to be thrown away.
Ziqiang is a little smaller than Zhaoxi, but it is much more reassuring than Zhaoxi.
The matter of collecting the floor cage is actually not complicated. Just pull the rope to collect the floor cage.
Gu Zhaocheng was not prepared to leave the matter of getting down to the underground cage to two people.
If it weren't for the riverside, there really would be no need for Gu Zhaocheng to worry about these two nine-year-old children.
Gu Zhaocheng was completely prepared to leave the matter of collecting the ground cage to Ziqiang.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is summer now. After harvesting the fish, just put them directly in the water tank at home.
There is no trouble of the fish freezing quickly after being taken out when the weather is cold.
After he has accumulated some money, Gu Zhaocheng will still take the fish to the city and sell them.
Gu Zhaocheng is not going to ask for this money anymore, so he is going to save all this money for self-improvement.
Gu Zhaocheng still wanted to see what results he could achieve after self-improvement and no shortage of start-up capital.
It's a good atmosphere and you can feel free to express yourself.
After everything became stable at home, Gu Zhaocheng also returned to work in the woods.
After entering summer, the forest is still quite productive.
There is much more vitality than in winter.
Patrolling the woods at this time is much more rewarding than in winter.
Gu Zhaocheng only has this one deer herd now, which is a bit of a gain.
In terms of medicinal materials, there is no success yet.
Of course, I still hope to go into the mountains and dig out the head of the Three Treasures.
After finding a ginseng producing area and digging out an old ginseng, Gu Zhaocheng could gain a lot of fat.
After all, he is still a person who makes a living in a forest farm. Only after he has experienced everything can he be considered complete.
Time flies very fast, and soon another half month has passed.
It has almost reached the hottest period of the year.
The forest farm is located in the northeast and is surrounded by mountains on several sides. Although it is not too hot in summer.
But it is also the hottest period of the year.
It would be a bit boring to be active and working all the time.
"Dad, Mom, it's been a long time since I started picking hazel mushrooms. Has anyone harvested mountain products come to the forest farm?"
Because he was worried about selling the medicinal wine and building a house this year, Gu Zhaocheng did not stay in the mountains.
Basically, you go into the mountains for three days and then go home for two days.
Hazel mushrooms can be produced in large quantities in the forest from May to June.
Now that July is more than half over, it's almost time for the mountain runners to collect mountain goods.
"I haven't heard of anyone coming here. If there are mountain runners coming here, mom will help you ask for the price of those jars of wine."
"Mom, you can ask the bigger bosses when you see them. Don't ask the ordinary hawkers."
Gu Zhaocheng gave another instruction.
This thing is somewhat sensitive, so there is no need to make it known to everyone.
"Mom knows where those vendors can get good prices. These are really good things. Your dad said these wines are very good."
In terms of the quality of the medicinal wine, it can be regarded as certified by Gu Changshan.
The prescription chosen by Gu Zhaocheng was originally the best.
In terms of medicinal materials, we also use pure natural and wild ones, the quality is guaranteed, and the effect can be said to be very good.
"Let's sell all these. The quality of the antlers collected in a few days will be better. I'll keep some better ones for my dad."
A deer can harvest two crops of velvet antler every year. In order to avoid these male deer, they have to fight for the female deer.
Just when the quality is at its best, and before the deer herd’s estrus, we harvest the velvet antlers again.
Under the same conditions, the quality of the latter crop is relatively better.
"It's time for these mountain runs. Now that you have time, you can stay at home for a while."
"Okay, why aren't anyone at home at home?"
The main thing Gu Zhaocheng wanted to ask was self-improvement. This child wanted to make money by collecting mountain goods at a young age.
If all the mountain products here at the forest farm were collected by Ziqiang, those mountain runners might not come to Sandaogou.
In a forest farm that is not completely indifferent, it needs to be a little more humane.
When they all offer the same purchase price, people like these in the forest farm need to take care of themselves to improve themselves.
Although Ziqiang lives in the Gu family, he will not be implicated by Gu Changshan's current poor popularity.
These people all have some respect for Liu Yuliang, so they still have to take care of this child.
Not to mention, Ziqiang will offer a higher purchase price.
People like these in the forest farm are more realistic than human beings.
Both human feelings and reality, Ziqiang's side has the upper hand, so there is nothing incomprehensible about him selling off-price goods to Ziqiang.
"Your father and your grandfather went up the mountain and didn't come back. Zhaoxi and Ziqiang went to play with Fengqin, and Xingjie went to work in the market."
"Why did Xingjie go to the city?"
The other people are doing pretty normal things.
But if Xingjie is in his hands, this is abnormal.
"He said that there is nothing wrong with him this time. He wants to work in the city to make money. Your dad and I can't say anything."
"Haven't dad told Xingjie that he supports Xingjie to repeat his studies for another year?"
"Your dad talked to Xingjie. But during this period, school has not started. After asking about repeating his studies, Xingjie just stayed in the city."
"Okay, if he's willing to work for a while, just do it for a while."
Xingjie wants to work and make money, which is not so unacceptable.
Although I have decided to study for another year, the most important thing to do is study.
But Xingjie's grades can be guaranteed. Going to the city to work for a while is just like experiencing life.
With Xingjie’s achievements, it will be difficult to have this kind of experience again in the future.
As long as the two people communicated their opinions, Gu Changshan didn't have to work hard.
I went to the bureau to ask Xingjie's grandfather to sue his grandmother. Even the dead Chen Shangyou had to move out and help Xingjie find a job in the Forestry Bureau.
Then Xingjie didn't want to work anymore, so Gu Changshan could just go through the trouble of asking for help.
"Zhaocheng, nine thousand yuan is a lot."
At the end of July, a mountaineer who was capable of receiving the goods finally arrived and went to Sandaogou Forest Farm to receive the goods.
"Mom, you have also seen that there are many medicinal herbs in this wine, not just the wine and deer antlers. Selling for 12,000 yuan is already very cheap."
Gu Zhaocheng had to bargain with mountain runners.
I also need to persuade Na Cunhua on the side.
In fact, this price is quite cheap. Gu Zhaocheng made a total of fifty kilograms of wine.
He only left ten kilograms for Gu Changshan, and the remaining forty kilograms were sold for more than 10,000 yuan.
A pound of liquor only costs 300 yuan, which is already a very cheap price.
Gu Zhaocheng only earns more than 200 per kilogram with tears and blood, which is also a conscientious price.
If it's not that the family is short of money, it's because there aren't that many rich people in the forest farm.
In any first- or second-tier city, Gu Zhaocheng would be waiting to sell four figures per pound.
"Brother, this is a kid too. It took him several months to go into the mountains to brew so much wine. The price is really not high."
Of course, Cunhua was on Gu Zhaocheng's side and wanted to sell it at a high price.
The price is just over 8,000, which is already a lot for those savings.
"Brother, if you want it, this is the price. We won't make it any cheaper. We have invested a lot in making these wines. If you still can't accept it, you can buy a jar first and try selling it, but next time
If I buy it again, the wine will not be at this price."
This can actually be regarded as Gu Zhaocheng going out to advertise.
This batch of wine is considered to have developed the market.
If you earn less now, you will always make up for it later.
Gu Zhaocheng has obtained the certificate for special breeding and has his own herd of deer, so it is impossible for him to sell them out even once.
After selling it once and understanding the effect, you won't be so passive.
"Okay, it's the price you said. I'll get the money for you."
Including deer antlers, the materials are actually worth several thousand yuan, and the price of more than ten thousand yuan is indeed not high.
It can be said that the value of Gu Zhaocheng's formula was not reflected this time.
But this time, for the sake of time and not to delay the start of autumn, Gu Zhaocheng started building a house, so he made a little less money.
Most of the materials come from the mountains, and Gu Zhaocheng's costs are not high.
