Chapter 588 Acquisition of wild vegetables

When Ji Tongzhong said this, the women all grinned and didn't worry about it.

"Then your price is too low, isn't it? Thirty cents a catty, how much money can you make?"

"Auntie, don't fool me, a foreigner, don't think I don't know, there are a lot of wild vegetables here.

I heard that there is a bald mountain here, and the whole mountain is full of big leaf celery, so you don’t have to go, just sit at the bottom of the mountain and squeeze it hard.

At this time, Da Yeqin was tall and weighed on the scales. For a capable person like my aunt, wouldn't it be the same as playing if she gained one or two hundred catties a day?

One hundred catties is thirty yuan, and two hundred catties is sixty yuan.

Auntie, if you earn sixty a day, it will almost catch up with uncle's half-month salary.

Going home at night, my uncle can't help but make you a footwashing water. Are you comfortable serving you? "

Who is Ji Tongzhong? How many women can be fooled? It's good if he doesn't fool others into limping.

The dark-faced Nan Zhendong next to him was almost amused by Ji Tongzhong's words.

So he coughed twice and tried his best to hold back his laughter, just to tell Ji Tongzhong to restrain himself and stop talking glibly.

Nan Zhendong firmly remembered the mission entrusted to him by his father-in-law, which was to always pay attention to Ji Tongzhong and not allow him to get too close to any woman.

Originally, Nan Zhendong didn't really want to come to Donggang. He was so stubborn that he thought it would be good to plant some land and raise some livestock at home.

Although I come to Donggang to earn a lot, I have to listen to others and feel uncomfortable.

A few days ago, when Su Weizhong learned that Xu Shiyan had signed a contract with Dongyi merchants, and that Ji Tongzhong was the main force in purchasing wild vegetables, he lost his composure.

While not at work, I personally went back to Lie Daying and found Nan Zhendong.

Break it apart and smash it into pieces, and have a good meal with my uncle.

Nan Zhendong finally agreed, and came out with his father-in-law to help his second brother-in-law Xu Shiyan complete the business of wild vegetables.

In addition, Su Weizhong also gave Nan Zhendong a secret task, which was to watch Ji Tongzhong.

The main reason is that Ji Tongzhong's face is too flamboyant, and he can chat with anyone very warmly.

Su Weizhong was worried that Ji Tongzhong had to collect vegetables outside for a while, what if he was confused with any woman?

Yes, it is impossible for Ji Tongzhong to be alone, and someone must be arranged with him.

But who cares about Ji Tongzhong? Even Zhao Jianguo and the others wouldn't meddle in their own business.

So Su Weizhong asked Nan Zhendong to keep an eye on it.

Ji Tongzhong still respects these brothers-in-law, especially Nan Zhendong has a dark face all day long, not smiling, and can scare away women with ulterior motives.

"Look, this young man is still listening."

Ji Tongzhong's words moved Ji Tongzhong's heart, so what are you still talking about here? Hurry up the mountain to collect vegetables.

Shengli Forest Farm is the smallest forest farm on the northern line of Songjianghe Forestry Bureau, with only about a hundred households.

But Shengli Forest Farm is close to the Changbai Mountain Reserve, and is rich in various forestry resources.

With few people and many resources, there is a lot of wild vegetables without going too far.

This season is the interval between timber and forestry production, and forestry workers don't have much to do.

So many families are a family of two or three, carrying baskets on their backs and going up the mountain to collect vegetables.

They are all locals. They are very familiar with the surrounding terrain and the distribution of wild vegetables, so they naturally know where the wild vegetables are thick.

Those who have a heart will remember the location, keep it a secret and don’t tell others, and go straight there every year during the wild vegetable season.

Now I know that Dayeqin has also been bought by someone. Those big girls, young daughters-in-law, middle-aged women, and half-wives all went up the mountain with dry food.

Come to the foot of Bald Dingzi Mountain, just find a place to squat there, and just reach out to pick up the vegetables.

Pick up the vegetables first, and wait until the back basket is almost full for a while, and people are too tired to panic, so they sit down and rest.

During the break, I picked off the leaves of celery and tied them smoothly one by one.

In this way, you don’t have to pack it up after going down the mountain, and removing the leaves can also reduce the weight, so you can carry more when going down the mountain.

After a busy day, the big back basket is filled to the brim, compacted over and over again.

At the end, I staggered and walked back down the mountain with my back on my back. When I came to the purchase point, I went directly to the scale.

At this time, there were few platform scales, and most of them were large steelyards. Ji Tongzhong hired two local boys from Shengli to help lift the scales.

Ji Tongzhong looked at the scale to keep accounts, Huang Shengkai settled accounts, and Nan Zhendong paid.

Mountain wild vegetables are all time-sensitive. After this price season, they will get old and cannot be eaten.

So when they came out this time, they were divided into several groups.

Ji Tongzhong was at Shengli Forest Farm, while Zhao Jianguo, Li Daniu, and Yang Chunsheng went to Qianchuan Forest Farm and Dajianchang Village.

Brothers Feng Yue, Feng Yuan, and Sun Xiaofeng's younger brother Sun Xiaoli went to Ma'anshan and the other side of the Caozihe forest farm.

The resources of wild vegetables over there are not as good as those of Qianchuan and Shengli, Feng Yue and the others took turns buying them.

Packed celery costs 30 cents a catty, and Cantonese food costs 20 cents a catty.

Cantonese cuisine also requires a height of about 20 centimeters, no palms stretched out, the roots are straightened, and tied with rubber bands.

After these two vegetables are purchased, a small section of the root has to be cut off, and then salted.

At this time period, these two kinds of dishes are at the right time. In a few days, it's time to squeeze the cow's hair and grow the monkey's legs.

Niu Mao Guang and Hou Zi Keg Er Cai are both dried vegetables, so there is no need to worry if there is enough time.

Ji Tongzhong and others collected the vegetables in the evening, and hurriedly cut up pickled vegetables the next day during the day.

They brought a lot of large white plastic buckets and salt this time. They put bundles of wild vegetables in the bucket, sprinkled a layer of salt on each layer of vegetables, and sent them back to Donggang after a full cart.

It happened that Su Anying bought the original courtyard of Donggang Hospital, and built two rows of sheds. The plastic buckets were directly placed in the sheds, and they could be transported away by car after a while.

Su Anying, Huang Shengli and others will not be involved in the wild vegetable business. It is all operated by brothers and relatives of each family.

The name of the company is only used to sign the contract, 30% of the money earned is set aside as the company's profit, and the remaining 70% is shared by Ji Tongzhong and others.

The point is that Huang Shengli and the others are too busy, how can they have time to mix in?

It's better to help the brothers of each family, and it can be regarded as finding a job for them.

Xu Shiyan is even busier. He has received so many orders in the first place, so why not hurry up and produce?

When Xu Shiyan decided on the direction of new product development last winter, the factory stocked a lot of various medicinal materials.

Last year's ginseng was not sold to the provincial medicinal materials company too much, and a large part of the ginseng was kept for its own research and development of new products.

In the ginseng coffee, the main ingredients are various medicinal materials. Although there are also coffee ingredients, the proportion is not too high.

The required coffee has been imported from abroad through relevant departments, which is enough.

Ginseng snow clam honey, which uses snow clam, which is what the locals call toad oil, is not difficult.

Xu Shiyan suggested to Guo Shouye a long time ago that they can encourage the family members of Forestry Bureau employees to contract mountain forests and river sections, cultivate under-forest ginseng, and raise toads.

Last fall, Shenchang bought part of it from others, and it is estimated that this fall, they will be able to receive a large amount of toad oil.

As for velvet antlers, there are plenty of them on the farm, and this year's velvet antlers should be harvested soon, so there is no need to worry about raw materials.
