Su Yuanyuan nodded, "I understand, let's go and ask the mountain people ourselves. They keep the good things for themselves, and the prices given by the purchasing station are not high."
"Xiao Su, I will pay you back when I get the money in the capital."
"good."
They went to a restaurant to eat in the evening. Zeng Hongling ate too much again.
"The vermicelli here is so delicious. I want to send it back to my grandpa and the others."
"Sister, let's send it back together with the ginseng."
"That's not safe either."
Mainly because ginseng is too expensive.
"Yixin, please go back."
Zeng Yixin really had nothing to do with this sister, so he had no choice but to nod. However, he did miss the two elderly people at home.
At seven o'clock the next day, the carriage arrived at the door of the hotel. They had already had breakfast, and bought fried dough sticks to eat on the road. They also bought some food, so they didn't have to worry about running out of food.
It was really comfortable to sit on the carriage in the morning. However, the weather got hotter as we walked, and Su Yuanyuan had her clothes on her head, which was not a big deal.
"Uncle, do you have any acquaintances there?"
"Yes. My cousin's family is there, and our family also moved out during my father's generation."
"Uncle, can we stay at your cousin's house?"
"It should be okay. After we moved out, the houses were all given to my uncle. When I went to pay my New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year, I saw a lot of houses. I will take you over to ask about them."
"Thank you, uncle, we won't live in vain."
Can you tell the driver? These people are not ordinary people at first glance. People who have seen the world will never let others say anything because of small profits.
"Uncle, does it really take midnight to arrive?"
"Isn't it? It's quite far, and there is a section of the road where you don't even dare to ride in a carriage."
"Why?" Zeng Hongling carried forward the good tradition of asking questions when you don't understand.
"You will know then."
No one stopped at noon. We just ate fried dough sticks in the car.
Su Yuanyuan didn't eat a bite. She really couldn't eat it.
It was almost evening before the driver stopped. After all, the horse also needed water and fodder.
That is to say, I rested for a while. I have been seeing the mountains for a long time, and I really broke my legs while looking at the mountains.
"When you go up the mountain, you will walk on a very steep mountain road, which is the width of a carriage."
"Uncle, how far is it? Can we just keep walking along the mountain road to get there?" Su Yuanyuan asked.
"This mountain road takes an hour. It is very steep, but it is not difficult to walk. Some of the wood on the mountain has to be transported down this road."
"Uncle, how long does it take to reach the foot of the mountain?"
"There's still about an hour left."
"Uncle, let's do this. You can send us to the foot of the mountain and we can go up the mountain ourselves. Otherwise it will be too dangerous for you to come back. And we will not give you less money."
"Daughter, it's okay, it's okay, I go often."
Su Yuanyuan still shook her head firmly, "Uncle, I don't feel good. I won't give you less money, so we will go up by ourselves."
After listening to Su Yuanyuan's words, Zhan Yunzhao also started to pinch his fingers. He looked at Su Yuanyuan in great surprise. How did this girl know? I had never heard that she could tell fortunes.
"Yes, uncle, we won't give you less money. You must be careful when you go back." Zeng Hongling absolutely believed in Su Yuanyuan and hurriedly said aside.
Wei Guangxiang said the same thing, so the old man agreed and told them the location of his cousin's house.
After the horses were full, they continued on their way. It was also very comfortable at this time. The evening breeze blew gently, and Zeng Hongling felt much better.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already dark, that is, after eight o'clock.
"Fellow, you must be careful. If it doesn't work, just find a place to rest for the night. You can go back tomorrow." Zhan Yunzhao told the driver.
"But it's okay. I can go back this way with my eyes closed."
Wei Guangxiang gave the money. Zeng Yixin carried his sister's bag, Wei Guangxiang carried Su Yuanyuan's, and the five of them started to go up the mountain.
Zeng Hongling was in the front with a flashlight on. Su Yuanyuan was walking at the back, also with a flashlight on so she could see her feet clearly.
It’s such a mountain road, so you don’t have to worry about taking the wrong route. You can chat along the way and don’t feel too tired.
The five people walked for nearly two hours, and it was really midnight.
However, the driver's cousin's house was easy to find, and the five of them found it without any trouble.
To be honest, if you knock on the door in the middle of the night, they may not open the door, but it is really cold in the mountains in the middle of the night.
Zhan Yunzhao knocked on the door, and Su Yuanyuan looked inside.
"Who?"
"Fellow fellow, we are outsiders. We took your cousin's carriage to the foot of the mountain and wanted to stay here."
Su Yuanyuan came out with a gun when she saw him.
They asked a few more questions before opening the door.
Seeing the five of them, I was very enthusiastic.
"Sorry, it's not very safe here at night."
"Fellow, we can understand."
"Let's make do with this time now and clean up the house tomorrow."
Of course, the five of them had no objections and refused the offer to cook for midnight.
The five people just lay down in the west room. There was no other way, so they had to make do. Su Yuanyuan woke up early the next morning. People had already started cooking.
It was Wei Guangxiang's business to discuss a long-term stay with them. So she washed up and waited for dinner.
Wei Guangxiang still has an advantage in this aspect. We have reached an agreement with them to stay for a period of time, and the five of them will pay 50 cents a day.
However, we need to use firewood and other things, and they provide food to eat with others.
Of course the four of them have no objections, which is actually quite good.
While eating breakfast, we chatted. "It's not too early for you to come here to pick ginseng. There are people who have picked ginseng on several peaks outside. You can look carefully, but the mountains are not safe. There are wild beasts here."
It’s quite a lot.”
The five of them also thought of this, but only Su Yuanyuan had a gun in her hand.
"Uncle, can we buy this musket? We are not prepared for this."
"You can buy this. I'll take you over to have a look later."
"Uncle, can you help us buy some ginseng? We need a lot. Don't worry, the price we give is absolutely fair and reasonable." Zeng Yixin said.
"Every year the purchasing station comes to collect them."
"Our prices will never be lower than those at the purchasing station."
"Okay, I'll go ask later."
"Uncle, don't worry. Let's discuss the price for good ginseng." Zeng Hongling also promised, why do you let someone sell it to you as an outsider? If there is no benefit, you probably won't receive it at all. Their demand for ginseng in the future is really
