Chapter 25 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (25)

In this way, she became a red mushroom purchaser herself.

As for the price, it is an increase of 20% from the purchase price of ordinary red mushrooms on the market.

The red mushrooms from my uncle’s house are of better quality, so the higher price is totally justified.

This time I came to see my grandma, and she brought money along the way.

“Auntie, this is the money for red mushrooms. Don’t give me food. How can I eat all the food? I sold five kilograms for you.”

Li Axiang refused to accept the offer at first, feeling embarrassed.

The wild mushrooms picked up in the mountains are nothing more than spent some time drying, so they are not worth the special money sent by the niece.

But Xu Yin insisted on giving it, and said that if she didn’t accept it this time, she wouldn’t accept anything from their family in the future.

 “You kid!” Li Asiang glared at her, picked up her apron, wiped her hands, and took the money helplessly.

 When I got it in my hand, I felt something was wrong. I lowered my head and said, "Hey! Why are there so many?"

"It's not much, it's the normal purchase price in the city. Auntie, you must have been pushed down by those people before. Just a little pressure is fine. After all, they come to collect it, and it costs money to pay for travel, freight, etc., but if the pressure is severe, you Save it and I will help you sell it later."

 Hearing what Xu Yin said, Li Asiang nodded.

Comparing the two, she realized how cheap they were before, and how cheap they were by those shady middlemen.

 No wonder those people say "you don't make any money" and "you might have to take the freight to get in" every time they come here. In fact, if they really don't make any money, why do they come so actively every year?

 In the past, they were stupid and didn’t understand the twists and turns inside.

“Thanks to you Yin Yin, otherwise we would still be in the dark until now.” Li Axiang said.

"No wonder they came to collect this year. I said not to sell, but to keep it and give it away. They persuaded me for a long time. They also said they would increase the price for me, as long as I don't tell other people... Bah! I'll see them next time. We must expose their true colors! How hateful! How much they have taken advantage of us over the years!"

Xu Yin patted her hand comfortingly: "Auntie, next time you and your uncle should do it by yourself without going through their hands. It's easy to say, organize a few people, and get rid of the villagers before those people come. I collect the unused mountain goods and sell them in the city. Although it is not easy to go out, you will definitely earn more than the door-to-door collection. You have contributed a lot, so if you share more, the villagers will not say anything."

The more Li Asiang listened, the brighter her eyes became: "Yes! It's a little bit fragmented. It's not cost-effective to pick it out and sell it, but wouldn't it be a lot if you put it together? I'll discuss it with your uncle! Let him go to the party secretary and tell him. Yin Yin! This is If the matter is completed, you will be a great contributor to our Da'ao Village! Aunt Qianming will make you dried rabbits to eat."

Xu Yin smiled and waved her hands.

She just came up with an idea, whether it will come true or not depends on the person who actually does it.

 Fortunately, the people in Da'ao Village may be poor, but they are not lazy. Poverty is also due to the lack of fertile land and inconvenient transportation. You can't starve to death by relying on the mountains, but you won't be able to get rich for a while.

 The idea Xu Yin gave them was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The village cadres thought it was feasible. Anyway, their village had little fertile land and the autumn harvest was not very busy. Four or five families sent one person to carry the collected mountain goods to the city. There was the address of the dry goods market left by Xu Yin, so there was no need to carry it. Wandering around blindly.

In this case, you can go down the mountain in the dark on the first day, find a small hotel in the county to stay for one night, get up early the next day, go to the market to sell, and then come back.

"My niece also said that matsutake, bamboo fungus, and russula are more valuable than ordinary fungi, so we should pick them out and put them separately. Others, if you don't want to sell them cheaply, it's best to separate them into categories. Fungus belongs to fungus, and mushrooms belong to mushrooms. People are big The market prices are based on type. Also, when drying the dried bamboo shoots and vegetables, if you clean them a little and remove some of the old stems, the better they look, the higher the purchase price will be."

“Did everyone hear what Jin Xiong said?” the village party secretary asked in a loud voice while standing on a big rock.

"heard it!"

"It's done! Then do as he said! From now on, our mountain products will no longer be sold to those people." "Definitely not!"

 “It was easier for them before!”

 The village party secretary finished speaking and was about to wave the meeting away when Uncle Geng suddenly remembered his niece’s suggestion and quickly added:

"Most of this year's mountain products have been taken away, but it's still early before the heavy snow closes the mountains. You can definitely dry out another batch. It doesn't matter if the quantity is not large. We went to test the water a few years ago. I heard that people in the city I go crazy shopping for New Year’s goods before the Chinese New Year, and if I can’t keep them all, I can sell them at a good price!”

When the mountain people in Da'ao Village heard this, they went into the mountains with great enthusiasm to pick fungi and dig winter bamboo shoots.

 Occasionally I catch pheasants and hares, make them into smoked chicken and wind rabbits, and plan to take them to the market to sell.

If you can’t sell it, just bring it back to celebrate the New Year. Anyway, I already picked two baskets, so I don’t care about the extra things.

Xu Yin really didn’t expect that her casual idea would bring Da’ao Village into the early 1990s, when mountain farmers walked out of the mountains carrying burdens and became rich by selling mountain goods.

 She was really restless during this time because her sister-in-law's due date was approaching.

Even though I was fully prepared in my heart and chose to use the most active response to resist the worst plan, at the most critical turning point in the book, I was still worried whether the plot would be too powerful to reverse.

"Yin, why are you so distracted recently? Even after class, why are you distracted in class? You have been called out by the old class. This is not like you. Did something happen at home?"

Tong Guihua noticed something strange about her and couldn't help but ask after class one day.

Xu Yin held her cheek, flipping through the pages of the book, and vented her inner troubles to her deskmate:

“My sister-in-law is about to give birth, my brother is working out of town, and my parents...well, I’m pretty worried anyway.”

"Hey, what's the matter! Why don't you take her out when you go back this weekend? My mother has an acquaintance in the hospital and has opened a ward to stay in her in advance. What can be more professional than the care of doctors and nurses?"

 Xu Yin actually had this idea too, but she was afraid that her parents would not agree. She went to the hospital three days in advance and even coaxed her mother for a long time.

“Then you should have a prenatal check-up in advance. Nowadays, many pregnant women will go to the hospital in advance to have an ultrasound or something like that.”

 Of course, those people do it to have sons.

Xu Yin's eyes lit up: "That's right! I didn't think of giving my sister-in-law a prenatal check-up. Thank you, Osmanthus!"

After her morning class, she put away her schoolbag and rode her bicycle home. She asked her sister-in-law to pack her clothes and go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.

Sister-in-law Xu has always felt uneasy these past few days, and after hearing this, she did not go into the house to clean up and change.

Xu’s mother was not very happy with a straight face.

 Xu Yin ran over and pinched her shoulders:

"Mom, you can rest at home and don't have to worry about me. I will be here to report my sister-in-law after she gives birth, and it won't be too late for you to go to the hospital. Recently, I have been bothering you and my father to keep watch at home. It's been a big thank you to both of you!"

Xu’s mother was very helpful, but she had a straight face and didn’t want to pay attention to her.

My daughter has become more and more assertive recently. She can open a dyeing workshop if she is given some color. She will definitely be more confident if she is given a good look.

The aunt and sister-in-law came to the hospital. Xu Yin paid the fee according to the maternal physical examination standards and accompanied her sister-in-law upstairs for a physical examination.

 What a loss, otherwise she would really regret it her whole life.
