Chapter 464 Are you still going to do this job?
When a group of people in the yard saw her coming out, they surrounded her.
Li has already said that she cannot make the decision, and she won't agree even if she says so. I don't know how she can be a mother. She can't even make the decision for her own daughter, who is so young.
"Zhou Guo, your mother said she couldn't make the decision, so tell me whether you will accept this fungus or not?"
"Yes, there are so many of us. You can collect our mushrooms and transport them to the capital to sell. We don't care how much they sell for. You don't have to go into the mountains to look for them. You can make so much money for free in just one trip. It's a good deal. Will you agree?"
Zhou Guo looked around and found that there were probably about twenty households here. If each household harvested twenty kilograms, that would be four hundred kilograms. Adding the hundred kilograms at home, that would be five or six hundred kilograms. I don't know if Yunzhou can consume so much food. However, Yunzhou is prosperous and there must be a lot of big restaurants!
But the prerequisite is that no other families in the village come!
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "I wonder how much the uncles and aunts would like to sell the mushrooms to me?"
The crowd fell silent, and some people looked at each other.
After a while, one of them said, "We heard that you can sell this mushroom for more than 100 coins per pound in the capital."
"It's more than 100 wen per jin. We don't have the ability to do that. You are very capable. We can sell it to you at 80 wen per jin, and you can still make a lot of money."
"Yes, yes, you don't have to do anything, just go back and forth, in and out and you can make money, how great!"
"You don't have to do anything?" Zhou Guo curled his lips, looked at the man who was speaking, and asked, "If that's the case, why don't you go do this job?"
The man's face suddenly turned red, and he said softly: "I, I, I don't have that much ability. I couldn't bring it in and it was robbed."
Zhou Guo smiled and nodded, "So that's how it is. You can't bring them in, so you came to me and asked me to buy all your good and bad bacteria for 80 cents a pound, and then bring them to Yunzhou to sell for money, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "But uncles and aunts, you just made this job sound so easy. You can make money just by going in and out, and you can sell it for so much money! I can't do such a thing. I can't take advantage of everyone, right? If I make money just by sitting there, I will be struck by lightning. So, if this thing doesn't work, I'd better go into the mountains and pick it up by myself. I will go to the capital city after picking up 100 or 200 kilograms. It doesn't matter if I earn less, but I will feel at ease. No one will murmur behind my back that I have earned their money. I can't help you with this matter, and I don't have such great ability."
Those people didn't expect her to refuse, and they got anxious. "Why don't you do such a good thing? You have kung fu, and ordinary people can't do anything to you. You can definitely get in with these mushrooms. Isn't it faster than picking them up in the mountains by yourself?"
"That's right. I just don't have that much ability. If I did, you wouldn't have gotten this job. You don't even want to earn money. You're really a brat."
"Why are there so many people gathered here? What are they talking about?" Suddenly, Wang Fugui's loud voice was heard outside the door, followed by Zhou Cheng and others who walked in. They were stunned when they saw the large group of people in the yard.
Li and Zhou Gu hurriedly greeted them, turned around and found that there were no stools. They wanted to pour a cup of tea, but found that there were no bowls. They could only let them stand for a while in embarrassment.
Wang Fugui and his friends didn't care about this at all. They waved their hands and said, "No, no, we are just friends. Don't worry about us. Just go and get busy."
He actually came directly to Zhou Guo, "What are you all doing here?"
Everyone explained their purpose at once.
Wang Fugui and his companions shook their heads and sighed, "It's not that easy. You haven't reached the city yet, but we have. As a result, we were robbed before we even reached the city gate. Even the city gate is in such a mess. I don't know how chaotic it is outside. Maybe next time we enter Yunzhou, there won't be these people waiting for us. If they get the taste of it, they will probably still defend it. We can't do this business anymore. It's a thankless task and we might even lose our lives!"
After hearing what they said, the villagers looked at each other and remained silent for a long time. In this case, this deal really couldn't be done?
Everyone then realized that transporting things into the city was not such an easy task.
Zhou Guo looked at Wang Fugui and the others, "Uncle Fugui, what are you doing here?"
Wang Fugui said, "It's okay. I just came to tell you that you'd better not run this route. There are too many people on the other side."
"I'm not going to run away, I really am not going to run away, so I won't make money anymore?"
The villagers felt very sad. A pound of wild mushrooms could not make that much money. Even if they could not sell it for 80 wen, it would still be 60 wen, 50 wen, or even 30 wen or 20 wen. If they picked 20 wen a day, it would cost 200 wen, which was equivalent to working for the landlord for many days.
"Zhou Guo, you are so capable that even the Hu people can't do anything to you. You can definitely do it. I don't want 80 cents anymore. 50 cents per pound. If you take all my mushrooms, you can make a lot of money."
"Just give me 40 cents. I don't have many mushrooms at home. There are only about 50 to 60 kilograms of good ones left. You can take them all."
Forty cents per catty, sixty catties can equal more than two strings of cash, which is much more cost-effective than sheep mushrooms. Sheep mushrooms are too small. These are so big, the big ones weigh half a catty.
Everyone lowered their prices and was determined to sell the fungus to Zhou Guo.
Wang Fugui and the others were dumbfounded, not understanding why they had come to Zhou Guo, and hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, hey, we've already said this line won't work, why are you still forcing her to go? It's not your child, so you don't feel bad, right? The life lost is someone else's, anyway, it's not your life that's lost, right? Are you crazy about money?"
The villagers retorted to him, "She hasn't said anything yet, why are you saying anything? Besides, isn't she afraid of the Hu people? She can beat them up. How can a few thugs do anything to her? If she has the ability, she should go and make the money!"
Everyone in the village nodded.
Zhou Guo looked at Wang Fugui and the others and felt quite moved.
But when she thought of the group of teenagers she met in the morning, she heard that they had several younger brothers and sisters. They were all floating in the troubled times, gathering together to draw warmth.
She is not that great, nor does she have the power to help all the orphans in the world grow up, but for those she sees, she wants to help if she has the ability.
Besides, she had already promised them. Thinking of the joy, excitement, and disbelief on their faces, the tears in their eyes, and their expectations for the future, she couldn't bring herself to say that she was going to quit this job.
He sighed, thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind.
After the noise in the yard gradually died down, she looked at everyone and said calmly, "I can promise you."
