When it was time to go to the county town for the market, Gao Mingcheng took the time to visit the county town.
He had saved a lot of honey these days and needed to find time to sell it. The more than a thousand yuan he had on him was almost spent without even realizing it.
Medicinal materials such as gardenia are actually very cheap, costing 40 cents per pound, but the quantity cannot be tolerated!
But Gao Mingcheng is not in a hurry. After he sells all this batch of honey, he will be able to earn hundreds of dollars. If someone doesn't have the foresight to rob him, that would be even better!
With this wonderful expectation in mind, Gao Mingcheng went into the city. After successfully selling the honey, he even wandered around the market, trying to provoke unsightly people.
During this period, someone did try to get close to him and steal his money. However, the thief was pulled away by his companions before he could actually make a move.
Gao Mingcheng pretended not to notice their movements, but in fact their movements were all out of the corner of his eye.
what happened? Has anyone recognized him?
Isn't it? After returning from rebirth, he only entered the county town twice! He can count all the people he knows in the county on his ten fingers!
After Gao Mingcheng walked around for a few more minutes, he found that no one dared to approach him, let alone steal his money. Wherever he was, it was quite safe.
After realizing this, Gao Mingcheng felt a little disappointed in his heart.
But if he were asked to take the initiative to steal those people's money, he couldn't do it. Never mind.
After buying the things he wanted to buy at the market, Gao Mingcheng left the market. He did not plan to go to Gao Guobing, but decided to go home.
Seeing him gone, everyone hiding in the dark breathed a sigh of relief. Only the young man who tried to steal Gao Mingcheng's money was puzzled. He muttered: "Chen Laoer, what are you doing? You just pulled What should I do? I saw money in his trouser pocket! I even saw a corner of the money peeking out!"
There was a "pop" sound, and it was Chen Laoer who patted the young man's shoulder hard. He said seriously: "I saved your life, you know? You are going to treat me tonight, and you will have to prepare some hard dishes!"
The young man looked confused.
Even if you stopped him from stealing money, you still want him to treat you to dinner?
"Hey, what's going on? Is that person a relative of yours?..."
Another slap hit the young man on the shoulder, and he grinned in pain. Just as he was about to glare at him, he heard the man say: "Hey! If I had such powerful relatives, I would die laughing! You know Liu Scar? Do you know He Dayou? Both of them suffered a big loss at the hands of the man just now!"
"I dare say that if you dare to steal his money, your hand will have to be cut off! Not only will the hand be cut off, but the money in your pocket will also be lost! That person is very dirty!"
"Really?" The young man was doubtful, but the other companions nodded in unison.
What a dirty trick that man did!
Gao Mingcheng didn't know about the incident that happened in the market. He returned to Gaojiacun all the way to continue his plan to purchase medicinal materials.
The yard of Grandma Xi’s house is full of various medicinal materials. Fortunately, the weather has been good recently. After drying the medicinal materials for two or three days, they are almost dry.
Once you have the medicinal materials, you have to prepare sacks to pack them.
Usually, people are not so particular and the bags they use are fertilizer bags and feed bags, but when medicinal materials are packed in such bags, it gives people a cheap and unauthentic feeling.
Gao Mingcheng was selling medicine for the first time in his life, and he didn't understand the ins and outs at all. However, there were these resources in the mountains, so he wanted to give it a try and felt that he had the ability to withstand risks.
He had already found someone to make the beehives and put them in different locations in the mountain. He also captured the queen bee and locked her in the beehive. As long as the queen bee settled here, the worker bees would come over to build the nest. Then multiply and make honey.
He thought very well. Even if he lost money on this trip selling medicinal materials, he could continue to go to the mountains to get honey and hunt, and he would not starve to death.
After investing the money from the last honey sale, it was almost used within two or three days.
So Gao Mingcheng stopped buying medicinal materials.
"Why don't you want it anymore? I know there is a place where there are a lot of gardenias growing, and I'm going to pick them tomorrow!" When they heard that Gao Mingcheng would no longer collect medicinal materials, the villagers who were actively picking medicinal materials to sell for money were immediately dissatisfied. got up.
Gao Mingcheng was not afraid of them. He stood at the door with his arms folded and said nonchalantly: "I collected these medicinal materials for another boss. He only gave me so much money. Of course I only collected so many medicinal materials. Could it be that Do you want me to advance money to collect it? Even if I am willing to advance money, how much money will I have with me?"
Yes, from the very beginning, Gao Mingcheng never said that he was going to be in the medicine business. Instead, he came to the countryside to collect medicines for a boss on the pretext of earning hard money.
He grew up in a mountain village. In fact, the atmosphere in Gaojia Village was pretty good, and they were able to cooperate with others and help each other. However, pink eye was common everywhere.
Even if they are blood brothers, they often have subtle psychology such as hating others for being poor, fearing others for being rich, hating others for having them, and laughing at others for not having them.
In the words of later generations, they are afraid that you will live a miserable life and that you will drive a Land Rover.
In order to avoid trouble, Gao Mingcheng simply said that he was just doing things for others, so that no one would be suspicious after taking out the capital.
Since he bought the medicinal materials, his family has not visited him much. Only his little sister came once and asked her if she could pick gardenias and send them to him to sell.
Of course Gao Mingcheng agreed wholeheartedly. Whose medicinal materials would he accept? Why would he specifically not want his own medicinal materials?
With a few words, Gao Mingcheng blocked those who wanted to sell the medicinal materials back. Seeing how they ate the marrow and learned the taste, he said, "If you want to sell, just keep picking, and then take it to the market to sell, and see if anyone comes." purchase."
The villagers were hesitant. If they picked it themselves and no one wanted it, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
But some people are willing to give it a try. Since the boss asked Gao Mingcheng to purchase the medicinal materials on his behalf, there must be others who will also purchase the medicinal materials.
To whom is it not sold? Just do it!
The day Gao Mingcheng stopped purchasing medicinal materials was October 11th, five days before the camphor tree medicine fair.
But if you want to participate in the drug fair, you have to go there at least two days in advance, so Gao Mingcheng has to prepare to go out in the next two days.
Looking at the medicinal materials that filled half the room, Gao Mingcheng fell into deep thought.
It seems... the development of things was not what he expected!
There are few things, not enough money to make, and it is not worthwhile to go back and forth.
But there were so many things, how could he carry them there?
Although he is very strong, he still doesn’t have three heads and six arms!
At this moment, Gao Mingcheng had a headache.
Even at night, for the first time, he did not meditate. Instead, he was thinking about how to deal with these medicinal materials. It was impossible to do it by himself. He had to find a few helpers.
The first choice of helper is Gao Zhuang, but two people still can't do it. I have to find another one. Who should I look for?
