From wilderness to palace

Chapter 118 Is This a Pony?
Compared with selling dried mushrooms for the first time, only Uncle Wu's family made a lot of money.And the dried mushrooms sold for the second time will undoubtedly make more people in the village earn money.Those villagers who boldly collected fresh mushrooms and dried them all made a lot of money without exception.

Under such circumstances, many villagers know that the weather will turn cold after a while, and the number of fresh bacteria in the mountains will drop sharply. It may not be as easy as it is now to buy fresh bacteria and dry them.This also means that if you want to make money, you have to hurry up.

Liu Yaozu, who wandered around the village, didn't say much when he saw the villagers buying fresh mushrooms in a hurry and then drying them into dry goods.Judging from the current sales situation, the dried mushrooms dried in the village should be able to sell.

Originally there were villagers who came to ask Liu Yaozu if they could ask their relatives to help dry them, and then send them to the village for sale.For such an inquiry, before Liu Yaozu could open his mouth, Liu Zhong reprimanded him in advance.

"Your family has relatives in the whole village, and you are the only one who thinks about your own relatives, right? If your relatives are accepted, will my relatives be accepted? In the dozen villages in Yuanshan Town, who doesn't have any relatives? Do you accept the time?"

With Liu Zhong being angry like this, the villagers who came to inquire also left with a little blush.Just as the villagers thought, drying fungi is not too hard, and the income is also very good. Who doesn't want to earn more for their family?

The question is, if you really want to let go of the purchase, if you can't sell it when you collect it, or if you want to sell it at a lower price, what will others think?Do everything according to your ability, this is what Liu Yaozu has always told himself.

Fortunately, no matter the village head or other elders, they will consider all these matters for him.To put it simply, even if Liu Yaozu brings goods in the future, he will only bring goods to the villagers, and he will not take care of people from other villages for the time being.

The only exception right now is Xu Dazhuang's family.Many people know that Xu Dazhuang's daughter, Xu Suying, has always called Liu Yaozu her master.Isn't it natural for a master to lead his apprentices to make a fortune?

Taking advantage of the rest time at home, Liu Yaozu also drove Liu Yaocheng with him to the city to purchase some supplies for going into the mountains.Considering that manual transportation is really troublesome and tiring, Liu Yaozu also entrusted Bashu to buy two mules that can walk mountains.

Hearing that Liu Yaozu wanted to buy a mule, Liu Shouyi also smiled and said, "It seems that you also know that if you want to store more supplies in the mountains if you rely on manpower to carry them, it may not be easy. With two mules, it's really easy."

"Yes! Judging from the number of tourists who have applied so far, I'm afraid there will be tourists coming here every now and then in the next period of time. It's really too hard to carry things into the mountains by yourself, and it's easier to buy two mules."

"Success! I'll take care of this matter for you. I bought the mule and put it in my house. It just so happens that I'm fine. What do you think?"

Seeing Liu Shouyi taking this matter to himself, Liu Yaozu naturally would not refuse.Even if he bought two mules for Uncle Ba, he probably wouldn't care.Mule is an animal, many people raised it in the village in the early years!

It's just that nowadays, cultivated land has been mechanized, and the villagers don't raise much livestock such as mules, pack horses, and donkeys.To raise this kind of livestock, there must be a special livestock pen, and it must be carefully fed at ordinary times.

If you really want to buy it for your own family, Liu Yaozu may not be able to take care of it.Now he pays to let the eighth uncle buy and raise on his behalf. For the eighth uncle who does not have children by his side, it can be regarded as finding something to do.Presumably, my eighth uncle would also like this job.

When Liu Yaozu came back from the city, the eighth uncle also bought two mules, a male and a female, from the town.In the words of my eighth uncle, this mule will be raised at home for a while, and maybe a baby mule will be born next year, which can be regarded as a new addition to the family.

Thinking that mules also need to consume a lot of food every day, Liu Yaozu also said directly: "Uncle Ba, how much food do you need for a month to raise two mules? Since you are raising them for me, the food and wages still have to be counted."

As soon as the words came out, the eighth uncle said a little unhappy: "What? Are you going to care about me too? This mule usually eats some refined grains, and the rest of the time is easy to pass. I planted land, and the grain Leave enough for them to eat.

If you really feel sorry, when they give birth to cubs in the future, the mules will be mine, right?I am a person whose ankles are buried in loess, what do I need so much money for?I will help you in the future, is it possible that you don't pay wages? "

Liu Yaozu, who was being trained, could only smile wryly: "Uncle Ba, one yard is worth one yard! If you really don't charge money, then these two mules are also yours. However, when I want to use them in the future, I will I won't give you any money, do you think it will work?"

"No! If you want to do this, I might as well spend my own money and buy these two mules!"

Liu Zhong, who was watching the fun from the sidelines, heard the two arguing, and finally smiled and said, "What's the point of arguing! Old Ba, just listen to Azu. You know, he's not short of money from these two mules. From now on, you just need to spend more time raising the mules."

Following Liu Zhong's final decision, Liu Shouyi finally said nothing more.But in fact, Liu Zhong knew Liu Shouyi's mood better.Compared with other people in the village, Liu Shouyi was the only villager who didn't have a son to pass on the incense.

Although there are two daughters, they occasionally come to visit during the holidays.But in fact, for Liu Shouyi, who was about to enter old age, he really meant that he had no desires or desires.As far as money is concerned, in his opinion, enough is enough.

The money he usually earns from farming and selling mountain products is enough for the couple to live in the village.Now with Liu Yaozu's help, I believe his childhood will be more prosperous.The important thing is that Liu Yaozu is also very close to him.

Passing on the family line is still very important in rural areas.If it wasn't for Liu Yaozu, who was also the only seedling of his branch, I'm afraid Liu Shouyi really wanted to adopt him and continue the bloodline of incense for his family!

In the afternoon, the first batch of tourists who made an appointment in advance finally arrived at Kaoshantun.These tourists were also very happy to see Liu Yaozu waiting at home.Then, like those previous tourists, they directly lived in Liu Yaozu's old house.

Knowing that there are still two groups of tourists who will arrive later, the first tourist is also very curious: "Then how many people will we enter the mountain this time? In the mountain, are you sure about the arrangements?"

"Don't worry! The number of tourists in the previous group is double that of yours this time! Besides you, I have also made reservations for two other groups of tourists this time. There are 15 people in total. It is better to arrange if there are not many people."

"Okay! Then this time, we will trouble you for your hard work and take us into the mountains to see the scenery."

For the tourists who arrived in the afternoon, Liu Yaozu directly arranged for them to live in his house.The rest of the tourists who arrived in the evening were arranged to go to Uncle Wu and the village head's house respectively.Tourists who want to live in a single room can also arrange to live in other villages.

For fifteen tourists, the vacant rooms in the village are enough for them to stay.For dinner, Liu Yaozu will be in charge of cooking. With Liu Yaocheng's help, naturally it won't be as hard as before.

In the early morning of the next day, the tourists who got up early and had breakfast also saw Liu Yaozu put a lot of supplies on the backs of two mules and horses.Seeing this scene, many tourists feel quite fresh.

Some curious tourists even asked: "Azu? Is this a pony?"

"No! This is a mule, or a mule in layman's terms. Because there are a lot of things to be brought into the mountains, it is too hard to travel long distances across the mountains and mountains on the back of a person. Now with the help of mules and horses, we can also move forward lightly."

"Really? It seems that we can go into the mountains this time, and it will be a little easier."

"At least it's easier than the first two groups of tourists! The last time they came, I asked them to help carry vegetables and food for tourists with few things. This time, I won't bother you anymore. When the time comes, you follow the team Just go."

With two more mules and horses to carry the goods, Liu Yaozu really seemed a lot more relaxed.On this trip to the mountain, Liu Yaozu didn't call the Xu family's father and daughter, but brought his eighth uncle and his playmate Liu Yaocheng with him.In a few days, there should be a group of tourists coming.

If nothing happened, Liu Yaozu also decided to stay in the mountains for a few more days.Try to completely decorate the wooden house before the snow season comes.Many of the supplies bought in this trip to the city were prepared for the decoration of the wooden house.

Considering that when I entered the mountain the day before, I would camp and rest at the No. [-] camp, so naturally I didn’t need to hurry.Liu Shouyi, who was leading the two mules, also looked very leisurely, and from time to time greeted the loaded mules to move forward.

What made Liu Yaozu a little satisfied was that the pace of the two mules was not slow.Judging by the speed at which they were traveling, they did not take much mountain roads before coming here.If you really run into mules who are not used to walking on mountain roads, the speed of travel will be greatly affected.

After arriving at No. [-] Shelter, Liu Yaocheng and Eighth Uncle are responsible for taking tourists to play and experience.As for Liu Yaozu himself, he seized the time to repair the No. [-] shelter.For example, create some tables, chairs and benches for the shelter.

Some things that were lacking before, have been deliberately added this time.With the gradual improvement of these things, it will be easier for tourists to camp and rest here in the future, and they will not feel much inconvenience.

With previous experience, Liu Yaozu's reception of these tourists from afar is undoubtedly more calm and orderly now.On the next day, he also prepared the meat clips for eating on the road in advance, and then called everyone to continue on the road.

Some of the supplies brought over by mules and horses yesterday were placed in Shelter No. [-] by him.In this way, the next time you enter the mountain, you can save the trouble of continuing to carry supplies.For mules and horses, it is easier to carry things today than yesterday.

Stop and go, the team eventually missed the meal.It's just that compared with the previous two times, the tourists who entered the mountain this time arrived at the red leaf forest earlier.All tourists breathed a sigh of relief when they finally arrived at their destination.

"Now I finally believe that those guys are not lying. After walking this trip, my legs are indeed weak!"

"If Azu didn't help me with my backpack earlier, I would probably have collapsed halfway. I didn't expect it to be so far away."

Listening to the tourists' comments, Liu Yaozu didn't say much, and asked Liu Yaocheng to ask them to allocate a room to organize their personal belongings.He and Liu Shouyi teamed up and started preparing an obviously delayed lunch for everyone!
