Chapter VI Wholesale Market of Agricultural Products
At this point, there are many people in the wholesale market.
Because the evening market will be opening soon, there will be many people coming to purchase goods.
Ye Qiu went to the wholesale market and inquired for a while, and found that there were very few people selling fresh mountain mushrooms like him, and most of them were selling dry goods.
"But Brother Chen is collecting the mountain goods here. Go over there and have a look."
A security guard kindly reminded me.
Ye Qiu thanked him and walked towards the end of the market carrying the snakeskin bag.
At the agricultural wholesale market, most of the products sold are fresh vegetables, such as dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots and other dry goods.
There are also agricultural products such as hens, local eggs, spices, aquatic products, etc. Whatever farmers can raise, you can find them here.
Most of the people who come here to buy are wholesale vendors, and there are also citizens who come here to buy vegetables at a low price.
These things inspired Ye Qiu a lot. If Yushan Village could set up a farmers' market to sell agricultural products, the income of the villagers could be greatly increased.
However, the farmer's market is not so easy to set up. First of all, it needs access to Yushan Village.
Ye Qiu knew that these things had to be done step by step.
There are rows of offices inside the wholesale market, and there is a sign in front of one office saying "We are accepting local goods."
There are only a few ways to purchase agricultural products: find farmers, find agricultural product companies, and wait for sellers to come to your door.
When Ye Qiu walked to the door, he happened to see two people arguing in the office.
One man and one woman.
The woman is a young woman, with tall temples, plump appearance, and a mature smell all over her body, which is very charming.
The man has a clean face and beard, and looks like the kind of person who stays in the office for a long time and is pampered.
At this time, the two were arguing over the price of agricultural products.
The young woman's voice sounded a little angry: "Brother Chen, your price is too high. Even if you sell it to Tianguang Hotel, they can't afford it."
"Whether you want to buy it or not, this is the price!"
The man was very domineering and did not leave any room for the young woman.
Ye Qiu understood that Brother Chen probably raised the price.
Chen Qiang was about to drive Bai Yunling out when he saw Ye Qiu standing at the door with a rather impatient tone: "What are you doing?"
Ye Qiu secretly glanced at the beautiful young woman and said bluntly: "I'm here to sell wild mountain mushrooms."
"Wild mountain mushrooms?" Chen Qiang grinned when he heard this. These days, all the wild mountain mushrooms have probably been dug up. There are still wild ones, but he didn't point out, "How much are you going to sell, 500 kilograms?"
Above, as long as it doesn’t exceed 3,000 kilograms, I can eat it all.”
Ye Qiu shook his head, patted his snakeskin bag and said, "It's not that much, only about ten kilograms."
When Chen Qiang heard this, he felt that this guy was here to cause trouble, and said scornfully: "You just want to take ten pounds and sell it to me. I tell you, the mountain goods have been fed up this year. You'd better go home and eat it yourself."
When Ye Qiu saw what the other party said, he didn't even think about asking for help, so he decided to go to the street to sell it himself.
At this time, Bai Yunling beside her couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Little brother, wait a minute, I want all your goods."
Ye Qiu stopped, looked at the young woman, and said, "Seriously?"
Bai Yunling saw Ye Qiu's appearance clearly, her eyes lit up, and she smiled sweetly: "Seriously, it's only ten pounds, how about 15 yuan per pound?"
Bai Yunling is the general manager of Baiyun Hotel. Recently, due to Chen Qiang's deliberate price increase, their hotel has almost run out of local goods, so she personally came out to raise the price with Chen Qiang. Unexpectedly, the negotiation collapsed.
She was trying to find a new source of supply, so collecting Ye Qiu's mountain mushrooms was better than boredom, and it could also make Chen Qiang sick.
"Manager Bai, the business of Baiyun Hotel has not been good in recent years. You must be too busy, right?" Chen Qiang saw Bai Yunling harvesting Ye Qiu's mountain mushrooms and laughed: "The market price of mountain mushrooms is 13 yuan.
One pound, I sell it to you, but you don’t want it, but you have to buy this country bumpkin’s mountain mushroom for 15 yuan per pound. Do you really think there are still wild mountain mushrooms now?”
Bai Yunling was stunned. Just now she was also impulsive and said she wanted to buy it.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful. Although a few hundred yuan is a small amount of money, if I buy something other than wild mountain mushrooms, I will lose my reputation.
Bai Yunling found a remedy: "Little brother, follow me back to the hotel to inspect the goods, and I will give you the money then."
Ye Qiu nodded and followed Bai Yunling out.
Chen Qiang didn't want to let Bai Yunling off like this. He was already offended anyway. "Don't leave in a hurry. Manager Bai, I'll help you check if it's genuine. I'm afraid, Manager Bai, you have no experience in this area and will suffer in the end."
Bai Yunling's pretty face was slightly cold, "I won't bother Brother Chen anymore."
"It's possible." Chen Qiang smiled and said, "Well, little brother, you let me see if it is a real wild mountain mushroom. If it is real, then even if I am blind, I will buy it again at the price of 16 yuan per pound.
I bought your mountain mushrooms, what do you think?"
Bai Yunling's pretty face became even colder when she heard this, and she snorted coldly: "Brother Chen, you want to snatch even ten kilograms of mountain mushrooms?"
Chen Qiang waved his hand: "This mountain product can be dried and kept for a long time. Never too little or too much."
Bai Yunling gritted her teeth in anger and stomped her feet slightly.
At this time, Ye Qiu put down the snakeskin bag and said, "It's okay to show it to you, but didn't you just say that it was full?"
Chen Qiang looked at Bai Yunling and said with a smile: "How can I? I was joking just now."
Bai Yunling wanted to stop Ye Qiu, but she thought she wanted to sell it and couldn't stop it, so she curiously looked inside Ye Qiu's woven bag.
As soon as Ye Qiu opened the woven bag, the special smell of mountain mushrooms wafted out.
The smell of this mountain mushroom is very special, it seems to have a umami flavor, and it can make your mouth salivate when you smell it.
"It's wild!"
Bai Yunling can tell almost as soon as she smells the scent that this is definitely wild.
She then looked at the mountain mushrooms there. They had thin skin and thin handles, and looked a bit ugly. These are the characteristics of wild mountain mushrooms.
Bai Yunling picked up a mountain mushroom and looked at it. She saw that there were no signs of cutting on the tail. It was obviously picked from a tree. She was 100% sure that this was a wild mountain mushroom.
Chen Qiang is also a connoisseur of goods. His expression changed when he saw the mountain mushroom. After picking it up and looking at it, he brought a bowl of water over and put the mushrooms in. The water that came out was very yellow.
"It's really wild." Chen Qiang saw it clearly, "I know that the deep mountains and old forests near Tianguang City have been developed. Where did you find these wild mountain mushrooms?"
Bai Yunling's eyes lit up when she heard this and she looked at Ye Qiu: "Yes, the growth of wild mushrooms requires very high environmental requirements, but I don't remember there is such a place in Tianguang City."
Ye Qiu was indifferent to their reactions: "Yushan Village, you probably haven't heard of it."
Chen Qiang looked a little confused when he heard this.
However, Bai Yunling exclaimed: "You mean that famous poor village in the province?"
