Mom has always been very strong-willed and has a good reputation in doing things.
Despite the appearance, Li Yuan's family seems to have a very impressive family background. In addition to some private land, their family also contracted two and a half acres of irrigated land and about one ridge of sloping land (one ridge of land is about one hectare, ten acres).
About five acres), and the tops of two barren mountains.
The family also raises a lot of livestock. There is a cow, two horses, a mule, a donkey, two pigs, five sheep, and several chickens, ducks and geese.
There are also many valuable items, such as this shotgun, bicycles and so on.
But in fact, the family has long been in trouble. Dad Li Guodong was seriously ill, and the family's debt has reached more than 3,400 yuan. If this wedding is included, it is likely to exceed the 5,000 yuan mark.
But even so, my mother Zhang Zhen still insisted on holding on to the situation. She would rather borrow money from everywhere and give double the gift; she would rather owe more and more than sell even one livestock? Just for the sake of face.
In my previous life, it was not until seven years later that the family could no longer support themselves, so they slowly sold off all the big animals.
The same should be true for going to college. Maybe she thought that the account she had maintained for many years could still be saved, so she secretly concealed it, hoping that Li Yuan could go to high school?
Li Yuan was a little bit dumbfounded by his mother's little thoughts. Let's leave it like this for now! Some things can be done slowly...
…
"...Young man, why didn't Lao Li come? This carriage belongs to him, right?... Hey, this happened and the person is gone? No wonder I haven't seen him in more than a year... Are you Lao
Li’s son, uncle, promises to give you a fair price..."
Fortunately, at the purchasing station in the county town, I met Uncle Geng, an old friend of Li Guodong's father.
Uncle Geng was very refreshing. Not only did he give a satisfactory price, the herbs from the Li Yuan family sold for more than 430 yuan, and the herbs from the Wu family also sold for more than 110 yuan. He also told a lot about Li Guodong's life.
Li Guodong is considered a local capable person. He is practical and capable, and his mind is relatively flexible.
Yutou'ao Village, where the Li family is located, is located in a mountainous area with inconvenient transportation and is quite remote. It is just a piece of primitive scenery. Otherwise, how could it be developed into a tourist attraction later?
If you live here, you will definitely have to rely on the mountains. The fields produce three melons and two dates, and the land is barren, so the yield is very low. If farmers want sideline income, they can only go to the mountains to hunt and collect herbs.
However, when running in the mountains, of course everyone likes to get windfalls, such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, bear bile, deer antlers... But this depends on luck, and there is a certain degree of danger.
Not much to say about bear bile, I want to have a fight with a blind bear. And those precious medicinal materials grow on cliffs with few human traces. Do you need to play an extreme sport? It also depends on your luck?
So generally speaking, the harvest from mountain running is the same. Rare medicinal materials can hardly be found, so I bring back some relatively valuable herbs, such as Gastrodia elata.
Sometimes people are unlucky and don't even have relatively valuable things, so they can only hunt some hares and pheasants to give their family a taste of the meat.
All in all, it's not very stable. I've heard of people who become landowners by farming, but who has heard of people who make money by hunting and collecting herbs?
That's what I mean!
So Li Guodong discovered business opportunities. He set his sights on common herbal medicines.
In fact, the market for ordinary herbal medicines is larger. And they are all over the mountains and plains, and almost no one goes to pick them. The only disadvantage is that the price is too low, a full sack only costs more than ten or dozens of yuan. There is a limit to the load a mountain runner can carry, no
Maybe pick those worthless things.
But Li Guodong is different. The price is low, so he wins by quantity and can be transported to the county to sell. That's why he keeps so many large animals at home, just to take turns pulling the cart...
After hearing these words, Li Yuan felt interesting in his heart. Don't underestimate your father back then, he was a differentiated business.
Moreover, transportation to the county town requires strong labor force and transportation tools. Not every household can afford to buy or raise so many large animals.
So this business is basically a unique business!
But for a certain reborn cheat, I have little interest in such a small amount of money.
The herbs sold this time already accounted for most of the family's possessions. My mother had been saving them for more than a year. Adding in the small portion left at home, the total amount was more than 600 yuan.
Even if women can't go hiking, these herbs basically come from the barren mountains contracted by the family, which is not much, at most a few hundred yuan. It's better to just copy it to a young lady.
…
After leaving the purchasing point, they put their money beside them. Before Li Susu got on the long-distance bus, a few people started to visit the county town.
The street is still monotonous, but there are already a few young people dressed in avant-garde clothes. Just when they saw two plump women wearing leggings, the eyes of both Wu family members were straightened, and they looked like pig brothers?
The busiest places are still department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, and there are also many self-employed people. There is also a lot of traffic in the market.
It is still a very conservative small county town in the mainland, but the east wind of openness has affected it. There are little sprouts everywhere, ready to grow wildly in this hot era.
When I arrived at the daily necessities counter of the department store, I found Li Susu staring at a bottle of cream. She could no longer move.
Just these 3 yuan and 2 cents of off-brand cream? In the future, all fake and shoddy cosmetics purchased online will have better packaging and better quality than this one.
Li Yuan smiled secretly in his heart. He patted the counter and said, "Sister, salesperson, this is the cream."
"Don't waste money." Li Susu quickly refused, duplicity, "I'll just take a look."
"I mainly want to give it to Qinqin." Li Yuan made up a reason casually, "Sister, salesperson, five bottles--!"
"..."
Seeing Li Susu happily hugging the bottle of cream, Li Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter. Are you so happy? Isn't this your money?
Sure enough, cosmetics can make women mentally retarded!
Li Yuan also bought a small round mirror for Gu Yuqin. He borrowed it in his wife's name and had to give her some compensation.
Then came the big purchase. I bought 20 kilograms of soybean oil, a jar of soy sauce, a box of salt, a box of sugar and several packets of MSG...
My biggest complaint after my rebirth - what kind of pig food do I eat? I have to dig through even the oils and seasonings? This time I can get it right in one step!
Finally, I bought some candies and snacks and gave some to the Wu brothers, most of which were ready to be taken home. In this way, almost all the fifty yuan I just got was spent.
I just didn't expect that the shot pheasant was sold for 4 yuan at the market? Is there anyone who would be willing to buy it? It's amazing, it deserved its death.
Just like that, Li Susu was about to go to the city, and Li Yuan and the others also had to rush back to the village before dark. After hurriedly shopping for more than an hour, they parted ways and left the county town...
