The villagers within a few hundred meters of Lu's house were all salivating with greed as they smelled the fragrance coming from Ye Qingqing's house.
At this time, there were no imported pig breeds in Bone Village that could weigh two to three hundred kilograms. They were all small local black pigs that could only grow to about one hundred kilograms if they were fed grain every day.
Coupled with the scarcity of materials in this era, there is not enough food for people to eat, and there is no food for pigs to eat.
Pigs can only eat pig grass.
Therefore, after a year of raising pigs, those that can weigh one hundred kilograms are considered large, and many pigs only weigh eighty or ninety kilograms.
Pigs themselves are neither fat nor heavy. Every year when pigs are killed, part of the pork has to be sold for money. This money is used to buy the piglets raised in the past year.
In the end, there was very little pork left for the family to eat.
Everyone was so greedy for meat that the aroma in the air was like poison.
Many people came directly to Ye Qingqing's house with their dinners, and ate with this delicious smell.
Some villagers smelled the aroma emanating from Ye Qingqing's house, and in order to eat the source of the aroma, they went to the mountains to look for mountain products to sell by moonlight at night.
After dinner, as soon as Ye Qingqing arranged rooms for Bai Xuefeng and others, Zhu Qiangguo gathered most of the villagers outside the Lu family yard.
Most of the people in the village came, and Ye Qingqing immediately took a large sum of nearly a thousand yuan and announced to everyone the specific details of harvesting bamboo shoots from now on:
It is not allowed to steal bamboo shoots from other people's private bamboo groves. Once caught, as long as the stolen goods are taken away, the person will be fined 5 cents. If you don't have money, you can use the things at home to pay for it. If you don't have anything at home, use the fields and forests to pay for it.
The bamboo shoots in the collective forest of the village can be picked by any villager in Bone Village, and whoever picks them belongs to whoever picks them.
No one is allowed to set aside territory for picking, nor to snatch the bamboo shoots picked by others, nor to fight over bamboo shoots. Violators will be fined 500 yuan and confiscated by the village. Similarly, if you have no money, you can use the things at home to pay for it, and if you don’t have anything at home, you can use the fields and forests to pay for it.
Bamboo shoots without shells cost 10 cents per catty, while shelled bamboo shoots cost 20 cents per catty.
Field bamboo shoots, spiny bamboo shoots, and Luo Han bamboo shoots cost 2.5 cents per catty without shelling, and 5 cents per catty with shells.
For the time being, we only purchase water bamboo shoots, field bamboo shoots, spiny bamboo shoots, and Luo Han bamboo shoots. The depth of unshelled bamboo shoots should be within 40 centimeters, and the depth of shelled bamboo shoots should be within 30 centimeters.
For the time being, all purchased bamboo shoots will be paid in cash, with bamboo shoots in one hand and money in the other.
In addition, you can also exchange bamboo shoots for cloth, shampoo, and shower gel.
You can get a 10% discount when exchanging bamboo shoots for fabrics, shampoo and shower gel.
Now is the time when all kinds of bamboo shoots are growing. Due to geographical and climatic reasons, the various bamboo forests on the mountains near Bone Village are more than the total of all kinds of mountain products that Ye Qingqing wants to purchase.
Bamboo shoots are not only plentiful, but also very heavy because of the high water content of fresh bamboo shoots. A basket of bamboo shoots can weigh dozens of kilograms.
Under the temptation of money, as soon as Ye Qingqing announced the specific details of purchasing bamboo shoots in public, many villagers ran towards the mountains near Bone Village.
I plan to move bamboo shoots.
However, these people were still a step slower. The fastest of these people had not yet left a hundred meters from Ye Qingqing's house.
Several villagers who had previously given Ye Qingqing gifts and asked Ye Qingqing for specific information on purchasing bamboo shoots had already come to sell them with large bags of water bamboo shoots that met Ye Qingqing's purchase requirements.
Ye Qingqing didn't expect that these people were so capable. He went home alone and during the meal time, they brought bamboo shoots.
In order to encourage everyone to actively buy bamboo shoots for sale, Ye Qingqing also personally bought the bamboo shoots from the villagers who came to sell them.
Ye Qingqing asked the first person to sell bamboo shoots to pour the bamboo shoots he brought into a large bamboo basket that could hold three or four adults. He checked the length of all the bamboo shoots and ensured that the cleanliness of the shells was acceptable.
Ye Qingqing asked two employees to weigh the bamboo shoots.
A few seconds later, Ye Qingqing moved the weight on the weighing pole hanging the basket of bamboo shoots. After the weighing pole was level, Ye Qingqing looked at the scale of the line hanging the weight on the weighing pole.
"One hundred and thirty-eight pounds and five taels."
"These are peeled water bamboo shoots, 2 cents per catty, 138 catties and 50 taels, a total of 27 yuan and 7 cents."
While Ye Qingqing was talking, Jiang Fangfang was at the side and wrote out a bill based on the information provided by Ye Qingqing.
Jiang Fangfang handed the written copy of the bill to the villager selling bamboo shoots, and the villager handed the bill to Ye Qingqing.
After Ye Qingqing received the bill, he immediately counted 27.7 yuan to the villagers in public and said, "Uncle, you count the money and count it in person. If it's not enough, you won't admit it."
When the villagers took the money from Ye Qingqing's hand, their hands were shaking with excitement.
The family members of the villagers on the side burst into laughter when they saw that the bamboo shoots were sold for so much money.
When other villagers saw that these bamboo shoots, which were usually worthless and would remove oil and water from their stomachs after eating them, could really be sold for such money, they all looked at the villagers who collected the money with envy.
Most of the villagers present do not have an annual income of 27 yuan.
Some villagers even looked at the villagers who collected the money with jealous eyes, as if they wanted to snatch the money and keep it for themselves.
Under the gazes of everyone, the villager who collected the money listened to Ye Qingqing's hands counting the money with trembling eyes, and said excitedly: "Ye Qingqing, you are really my God of Wealth!"
"My family has never been able to earn this much money in one year, and it has never been able to earn this much money in three years."
"My cousin from far away works in a factory in the county town. He has a stable job and his monthly salary is only 25 yuan. My family actually earned 27 yuan and 70 cents tonight, which is more than my cousin's salary in more than a month.
.
If I hadn't pinched myself before taking the money, I would have thought this was a dream."
"I never dared to dream like this before, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. The most money I ever made in my dreams was when I sold more than 20 kilograms of grain for more than two yuan."
Ye Qingqing smiled and said: "Uncle, this is just the beginning. You will work hard with me from now on. You can do whatever I charge and sell it, and you will make more money."
"Don't worry, Ye Qingqing, we will definitely follow you. Anyone who sabotages your efforts to make money for us will be my Sangouzi's enemy."
After the villagers expressed their opinions in public, they returned the money to Ye Qingqing in full, saying: "I have counted the money, and the amount is correct."
"Ye Qingqing, I just want to get addicted to counting them. I have never had so much money in my hand.
I promised my children first when I took them to move bamboo shoots.
I need to use all the money from selling bamboo shoots to buy fabrics and let my mother make new clothes for the dolls. Don’t worry about your ridicule. None of my dolls have ever worn new clothes. They are all old clothes picked up by relatives in the city who don’t want them.
wear."
"Ye Qingqing, please keep this money. Please give me the receipt I just gave you. I will use the receipt to buy fabrics. Please forgive me."
As soon as the villager finished speaking, the eyes of the villagers' children immediately lit up. A teenage girl even jumped up excitedly, dancing and shouting: "That's great, that's great, I want it."
I have new clothes to wear!”
"I want to save it for the New Year. I have new clothes to wear for the New Year this year!"
