Chapter 711 One Person Goes Out
"That can't be helped. I can wait, but the mushrooms in the mountains can't. They could have been picked a few days ago. I waited until my eldest sister went out before letting them pick them. If I don't pick them now, they will be old. When my brother-in-law comes back, you can plead guilty for me. I'll go to the Zhao family to see them when I come back."
That can only be like this.
Li sighed, "Well, be careful on the road alone. Otherwise, how about letting the old man accompany you?"
"No need. Master is old and can't travel easily. He hasn't had a good rest these days. Let him rest at home. I can do it alone. Don't worry, I'm fine. It's not in vain that I practiced martial arts every day before dawn these years. Even if things get worse, I can still run."
Li said, "I'll go get you some steamed buns. There's a wedding going on at home these past two days, so there's a lot of leftovers."
The old man came back from the vegetable garden with a hoe in his hand and said, "You don't need me to accompany you this time?"
Zhou Guo said, "You don't want to go out and travel, so just stay at home and grow your vegetables. It will be faster for me to do it alone."
Li prepared a big bag of things, including steamed buns, flatbreads and of course Zhou Guo's favorite dried meat and candied fruit. When traveling, he could put one in his mouth and he wouldn't need to drink water for half a day.
When he was leaving, the old man was still worried and asked again, "Do you really not need me to go with you?"
Zhou Guo laughed at him, "Master, I usually asked you to follow me when I go out, but you kept nagging and didn't want to move. Now I don't allow you to follow me anymore, and I asked you to grow vegetables and raise crabs at home, but you are worried again?"
The old man was too embarrassed to admit, "You were so sleepy, I was worried that you would fall asleep on the horse, and you wouldn't wake up in the wild, and you wouldn't even know when the wolf came."
Zhou Guo hung the bag on the horse and said, "I will pay attention. This time I am in a hurry. I have to travel to five places within ten days. Riding a horse is painful. You should take a rest. My eldest sister will be coming back tomorrow. You should stay at home to watch over her. You can't be away when I leave. My son-in-law will be unhappy."
The old man muttered, "Why should I care what my son-in-law does? He is not an important person."
Zhou Guo led the horse out of the village, and the first stop was naturally Yunzhou.
Yunzhou is close to them, so the flower mushroom and sheep mushroom are naturally the first to come here.
This was the first time she met Manager Yang since she sold pine mushrooms last year.
The two smiled knowingly.
Zhou Guo got straight to the point: "The goat mushrooms and flower mushrooms in the mountains are out. I wonder if Shopkeeper Yang wants some?"
"Yes! Of course I don't want that. Not only do you want sheep mushrooms, but you can also send me this year's pine mushrooms, Mr. Zhou. Although you are not the only one doing business with me now, it doesn't matter who I buy from. Besides, we are old acquaintances who have been dealing with each other for so many years." There was a hint of pride in his tone.
Zhou Guo heard it, "I know, I got the news last year. Maybe the shopkeeper doesn't know yet, but several villages near us have also made discoveries. I don't plan to do this this year. When they heard about it, they planned to form a team to transport these fungi to Yunzhou and sell them together in the vegetable market."
The smile on Shopkeeper Yang's face gradually disappeared.
Zhou Guo smiled when he said this, "After all, you know that Yunzhou is the largest prefecture in the vicinity, and the population has increased in recent years. The most important thing is that it is the closest to us. Well, by then, maybe people from several nearby villages will form a team, and the pine mushrooms from several villages will be sold here. The shopkeeper can then collect all the goods."
Shopkeeper Yang's face twitched unconsciously. He took all these goods?
He couldn't even take all the goods from one village, let alone several villages. How many mushrooms would that require? How could his restaurant have such great ability?
He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't laugh at me. I know that once other ground pine mushrooms appear, not only will your business fail, but mine will also soon go bankrupt. I may have to lower the price of this thing. It used to be sold for 1.5 yuan a plate in winter when there was no fresh vegetables. Now it's only 5 yuan a plate. I don't know if anyone will come to eat it."
Sighing and shaking his head.
Zhou Guo said: "Don't be sad. Didn't we foresee this situation when we first started selling this? Even the emperor can't stop the mushrooms from growing in the mountains. We have been able to make money for so many years because God is helping us. Besides..."
She looked him up and down, and then looked at the upgraded private room. "You've made a lot of money from this over the years, so you should be content. You can't have all the good things in the world for yourself, right? Sooner or later, other restaurants will team up to cause trouble for you."
Shopkeeper Yang looked at her and said bluntly, "I earn a lot, but you earn less? I earn a lot of money, and the only thing I get is the reward from the master. As for you, you earn a lot for yourself. Your family was so poor before that you couldn't even afford a piece of paper, and you had to ask me to give it to you. What can you not afford now? You are much richer than me!!"
Zhou Guo touched his nose. "You earn little, but you are being promoted, aren't you? Your youngest son used to only be a handyman outside the courtyard, but now he is the steward. And your daughter is married to the son of the biggest steward in the mansion, isn't she? Oh, and your child's mother..."
Shopkeeper Yang quickly stretched out his hand to interrupt her, "Okay, okay, you really are... How do you know so much about my family?"
Zhou Guo rolled his eyes. "You think I want to know? Didn't you tell me all these in previous years? After a few drinks, you told me everything you were proud of."
Shopkeeper Yang covered his face and said after a while: "Why don't you go down and collect them? I can collect more if I collect them. If I let them all sell them to Yunzhou, I'm afraid I really can't do this business."
Zhou Guo shook his head. "You just said that there are also fungi in other places. It's not just our village. How can I collect fungi from so many villages? Besides, isn't this what you want to see the most? I don't believe that the person who discovered the fungus has nothing to do with you guys?"
Shopkeeper Yang: "...Yes, it's not just us."
He originally wanted to destroy someone else's rice bowl, but he never expected that he would lift a stone to smash his own bowl as well.
Zhou Guo waved his hand generously, "It's okay, I forgive you, so do you want these sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms?"
Shopkeeper Yang nodded, "Yes, yes, yes."
He smiled and said, "It's still the same as last year. Yunzhou can only be sold to my family, right?"
Zhou Guo smiled with a fake smile, "You're dreaming. I have so many of them all over the mountain. If your family can eat up all my goods, I can't sell them to others. So, you want all these hundreds of thousands of kilograms of goods on the mountain?"
Shopkeeper Yang said quickly, "That can't be possible. My Baoyue Tower is so small, and I can't transport it to other places in this world."
Zhou Guo said, "That's fine. Besides, this thing is not exclusive to the whole Yunzhou. There are many people selling goat mushrooms in spring. Can you stop so many people from selling it?"
