The arrival of Luo Xiaohua put Gao Mingcheng in a slightly bad mood, and he felt more urgent about making money. So after lunch, he went to the mountains again in the afternoon, this time to make honey. He planned to make more until he arrived in the county seat. When there was a market, they took them to the county town and sold them together.
Today was the 4th, and the county town meeting was on the 6th. He planned to get honey today and go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. It would be best to catch another yellow muntjac, and then take them to the county town to sell together.
After all these things are sold, the money in his hand should be less than one thousand.
For the past two days, Gao Mingcheng had been running alone in the mountains. This feeling of tranquility and freedom fascinated him.
In his previous life, he didn't like mountains and felt that they restrained him. He liked the colorful world outside and liked to compete with others. His life had gone smoothly but also had twists and turns, and he had experienced a lot of things.
But now that he has returned to 1986, he feels like he has returned to his original nature.
Especially after getting those two pages of gold foil, he meditated every night, practiced boxing in the mountains in the early morning, and ran freely in the mountains and woods, where he could easily get meat.
If you choose to leave this small mountain village and go to the city like you did in your previous life, you will have to run around day and night, live in a small house, and have difficulty stretching your muscles and bones.
For this freedom and enjoyment, he did not want to go to the city too early. When he chose to go to the city, it must be when he had a good fortune and could live a good life in the city.
And this family fortune, Dashan can give it to him.
The days flew by, and just as Gao Mingcheng wished, he not only got more honey, but also got two yellow muntjacs.
This yellow muntjac was specially caught alive by him to prevent the meat from deteriorating due to the hot weather.
September 6th, sunny.
After Gao Mingcheng woke up, he went to the mountainside to do a set of boxing as usual, and then at about six o'clock, he picked up his burden and prepared to go to the county seat.
The reason why he had to carry the burden was because he didn’t have a car!
There was no suitable container for filling the honey, so it was still placed in the big jar. Fortunately, the jar was large enough to hold forty or fifty kilograms of honey. On the other side of the load, there were two yellow muntjacs with their limbs tied. If it is alive, the price can be higher.
The yellow muntjac is not big. The two ends together weigh less than a hundred kilograms. The weight of the jar itself plus the honey is not light, but it is still slightly lighter than the yellow muntjac. When a person carries a load, one end will appear. A situation where one end is heavy and the other is light.
But the solution is also easy. Just move the position of the poles so that the heavier ones are closer to the front and the lighter ones are closer to the back, so that they can be more coordinated.
Carrying a load, he walked like the wind, traveling quickly through the country roads. Along the way, he met many people who were also carrying a load to go to the county town. There were also people who were riding bicycles. There was a big bamboo basket filled with things.
On the way, Gao Mingcheng also met a special father and daughter. The father was also carrying a load, but one side of the load was piled with vegetables, and the other side had a five or six-year-old little girl squatting on it.
The little girl was wearing a floral skirt with two pigtails. Her eyes were round and sparkling, and she looked very smart and beautiful.
When she saw Gao Mingcheng, her eyes shone brightly and she said loudly: "Dad, look at that brother, he walks so fast!"
His father was a honest-looking man. He also glanced at Gao Mingcheng and said with a smile: "Dad also walked so fast when he was young!"
"Really? Dad is so awesome!" The little girl was a little hesitant, but she still praised her dad.
The father and daughter laughed heartily together, and the laughter gradually became lower in Gao Mingcheng's ears until it was completely inaudible, because he was much faster than the father and daughter and had already walked ahead.
Even though he was fast, it took him nearly an hour to reach the farmer's market in the county. If he hadn't been carrying a load and didn't need to deliberately slow down, with the speed he was running, it would have only taken him half an hour at most. .
Gao Mingcheng raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was still five minutes before seven o'clock.
He didn't rush to find a place to set up a stall, but went to eat something first. While eating, he asked someone if there was any place that purchased honey in large quantities.
This time, it is best to sell the honey at once, even if it is cheaper. Selling it bit by bit will not only require no containers, but will also take time.
The person who set up a stall selling breakfast here was naturally very familiar with this place, so he pointed out several places to Gao Mingcheng and asked him to go and ask.
Gao Mingcheng took the last bite of food, put the bowl down, thanked him, picked up his burden and left.
Following the instructions, he came to a grocery store. This grocery store occupies two storefronts and is filled with all kinds of things. The owner of the store is doing a good business, and many people are choosing the goods there.
Gao Mingcheng asked him if he would accept honey, but the boss didn't even look at it, just waved and said no.
Gao Mingcheng saw that he was busy selling goods, so he didn't stay much and continued walking with his burden.
Some people noticed what he had brought and asked about it. They found out that he did not have a container to store honey. Some people left with regret, but one person told him that he could go to a store to buy some jars.
Gao Mingcheng listened to the advice and ran to buy a jar. If no one was willing to collect the honey, then naturally he would have to sell it bit by bit.
Unexpectedly, he went to the place where the jars were sold. The owner of the jars knew that he bought honey for sale, so he asked him how much a pound of honey was and wanted to taste it.
Gao Mingcheng acted generously and scooped out a spoonful.
The wild honey in the mountains is the richest.
If you raise your own honey, if the honey is shaken frequently, it may happen that the honey has not been completely brewed, has too much water, and is not sweet enough.
But Wild Honey doesn’t have this worry. Before Gao Mingcheng collected the honey, the bees had been operating in the mountains for many years.
"Such thick honey! Sweet! So sweet!"
"How do you sell this honey?"
Obviously, this is a person who knows the goods. After taking a taste, he was tempted to buy it.
"If sold in bulk, it's seven yuan per catty. If you collect them all, it's six yuan and five per catty." Gao Mingcheng wanted to sell it all at once, so he hinted.
The shop owner was indeed moved, but he was still hesitant.
Gao Mingcheng continued: "Boss, you have a shop here, and honey won't go bad. You can sell it slowly."
"Okay, let me give you a little more price, six yuan and three!"
"Six yuan, I want it!" The store owner saw Gao Mingcheng's intention and decisively lowered the price.
But Gao Mingcheng didn't let him get what he wanted. He shook his head and refused: "Six dollars and two, if it doesn't work, forget it!"
He sold it for 6.2 yuan. After the shop owner bought it, he could earn 80 cents per pound, which was not a low profit.
"Six yuan! I will keep all the honey you get from now on!"
The store owner continued to increase the price, which made Gao Mingcheng hesitate.
In the end, he agreed. Going to the mountains to get honey was just a little troublesome for him, but selling honey bit by bit was also a troublesome thing.
After he nodded, he began to take the honey out of the jar.
Because the store owner sells cans, he cans them directly and then weighs them together.
After a lot of hard work, the honey was just fifty pounds, and Gao Mingcheng easily pocketed three hundred yuan.
While he was counting the money, a young man wearing a bat shirt and bell-bottom pants stood not far away. His eyes were staring at the money, flashing with greed.
But he did not come forward, but walked away quietly.
