Chapter 738 Big Sale
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes. It is not certain whether this matter will succeed or not."
After the villagers went up the mountain to pick mushrooms for two days, the men took the mushrooms to the provincial capital.
Women still pick mushrooms at home.
At the same time, several neighboring villages received the news and set out as well.
People from several villages took these fungi to the provincial capital together.
I don’t know whether the market is good or not.
When Li had nothing to do, he would follow others up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
Someone asked, "Mother Guoguo, your family is so rich, why are you still picking mushrooms with us?"
"Yeah, you guys make so much money every year, are you still trying to snatch this little bit from us?"
Li said, "I am bored at home. Besides, even though we don't sell it anymore, we still need to eat it. All the children in the family love it. My husband also loves it. He can eat dozens of kilograms in one meal. There is no vegetable in winter. If we don't stock up, what will they eat? You won't sell it to us this year."
Someone else changed the subject and said, "That's right, this thing tastes good."
"I just can't eat it. I don't know if it's because I didn't cook it right. I always feel stuffy after eating it. How do you cook it? It doesn't make sense that something this expensive can't taste good!"
"I think you are just not destined to enjoy it. You are not used to eating such expensive food, but you just love to eat pickled vegetables and radishes. Isn't that a waste of your life?"
A group of people laughed.
When Zhou Guo had nothing to do, he would go up the mountain, carrying a backpack and holding a basket, and wandering around the mountain.
She dared to go anywhere. She walked fast and went far. After her backpack was full, she also picked up a sack. In the end, even her basket was full and there was no more space.
In the end, I could only go and catch the shadowless fish.
She seldom had time to come here in the past two years. The number of shadowless fish in the river gradually increased. Within fifteen minutes of going into the river, she caught a fish weighing about five kilograms.
She didn't bring a bucket, and the fish couldn't survive without water, so she couldn't take it back and could only roast it and eat it where it was.
It is said that the shadowless fish is delicious. It is fresh and sweet, without any fishy smell, and slightly chewy. It tastes even better than crab.
If this thing could be produced in large quantities, it would definitely attract a lot of people, so she made it.
What a pity, there are so few.
She squatted by the pond and ate most of it. There was still some left, so she wrapped it in leaves and brought it to Li.
Li was picking mushrooms when she saw Zhou Guo handing her a leaf bag and asked, "What is this?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "This is the fish I grilled. I ate most of it, and there's still a little left. Mom, you can eat it."
Handed her a pair of sharpened chopsticks.
Li took only one bite and his eyes lit up. "This must be the shadowless fish, right? Oh, I haven't eaten it for a long time. If you don't go up the mountain, we won't be able to eat it. Sir, you can't catch it by yourself."
After eating two bites, he wrapped it up again and said, "Go back and let your brothers have a taste. Your sister-in-law hasn't eaten it yet. She's pregnant now. Let her have a taste of this delicious food too."
Zhou Guo said, "Oh, just eat this little bit. Why would you leave anything for me? We have so many delicious foods at home. Are you short of this little bit? Besides, this little bit is not enough to share. When I am free, I will go up the mountain to catch fish. I will catch two more and bring them back to eat together."
Li hesitated, "Isn't this bad?"
Zhou Guo took the chopsticks from her hand and brought them to her mouth one by one. While feeding her, he said, "What's wrong with this? It's just a fish. The family can afford it. They don't need this fish. Eat it quickly. Eat it all."
Li's mouth was stuffed full, "Okay, okay, I'll do it myself."
He took the chopsticks and ate it all bite by bite with a smile.
"This fish is really better than other fish. It has fewer bones and no smell at all."
Zhou Guo said: "Otherwise, why would it be so difficult to catch them? This year, there seem to be more than in previous years. I saw three or four in the river and picked the largest one."
Others nearby were also eating dry food. Seeing this, they smiled and said, "Mother Guoguo is so lucky. Your daughter thinks of you no matter what she does."
It’s hard to find a daughter who can make money and is filial. Li doesn’t know where this blessing came from.
Li smiled but said nothing.
A few days later, those who sold mushrooms came back, some were happy and some were sad.
They were all sold out.
But it is said that they were all sold off later.
Wang Fugui and Zhou Cheng and others who had seen the world more or less with Zhou Guo were divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower.
The best quality one costs more than 300 wen per catty, the medium quality one costs more than 200 wen, and the lowest quality one costs more than 100 wen.
The price was set well, and the villagers followed suit.
However, there were too many fungi entering the city. People from several neighboring villages and even from two other counties also tried to bring these fungi to Yunzhou.
There are too many bacteria, and the price is beyond their control.
If you can sell it for three hundred, they can sell it for two hundred over there. If you sell it for two hundred, they can sell it for one hundred over there, or even for dozens of cents.
They are all pine mushrooms. Even if yours is of the best quality, if the price difference is too big, even a fool would know how to buy it.
Besides, the quality here is not bad. Although there is no classification, if you pick them, they are no worse than the best ones.
As a result, the mushrooms in the village could not be sold.
There is no choice but to lower the price like everyone else.
But as the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest.
There are some people who can't stand to see everyone else doing well, so they offer a price lower than that of others. If there is only one such person, the market will be in chaos.
The prices varied greatly and there were so many goods, which resulted in some people selling out early, while others had to work hard for several days to sell only half of their goods.
As time goes by, after a few days, the quality of the pine mushroom will visibly deteriorate. This thing can't be kept for long in the first place, and once it goes bad, no one will buy it.
Everyone had no choice but to lower the price again and again, and finally it was sold for just a dozen cents.
As a result, some of them did not earn as much as selling to Zhou Guo, and they still had to eat and drink in the capital city, which was extremely uneconomical.
People like Wang Fugui went there early and sold some at the price of two or three hundred coins per catty, making a lot of money.
But in previous years, Zhou Guo did not take a penny from them when they sold the products, so of course they cannot compare.
Someone came to the door that day and said, "Zhou Guo, are you still going to take these mushrooms? If you want, just give it to me. I don't want to go to this city anymore."
"I don't want to go there either. Not only will it not last long, it won't sell well either. The price is only over 20 wen per jin. The price is dropping too fast. Last year it was over 100 wen per jin."
Zhou Guo said, "I won't take it. Why don't you go check it out tomorrow? Anyway, we have saved a lot at home these days."
People who come here just want to complain and seek advice from her.
What ideas could Zhou Guo have? Could she control those who made random bids?
There was no choice, so the group of people only rested for one night and went again the next day.
