"Haha, your daughter is so beautiful,"
Even if Su Mingjuan doesn't like Qingqing's personality, she will still smile when others praise her.
"Haha, it's just a little girl."
After paying the bill, Zhu Xiuyun led Qingqing over, "Mingjuan, let's go back!"
"Oh, okay, see you Mr. Zhou. I will bring them again next time the vegetables are ripe."
"Okay, goodbye. As long as it's a special product, I'll definitely give you a good price."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou." Su Mingjuan waved her hand and got into the driver's seat.
Zhu Xiuyun and Su Qing were already waiting for her in the car and drove the speed car away from the acquisition station.
Zhu Xiuyun asked: "Mingjuan, who is the man talking to you?"
"That person is the director of the purchasing station. I think he is nice and polite. He just wanted to ask me how I grow special vegetables."
Zhu Xiuyun's expression changed and she asked quickly: "What did you say?"
"Of course, tell him to increase the output energy of the energy stone."
Zhu Xiuyun's eyes tightened, "Does he believe it?"
Su Mingjuan: "Does he believe it or not? How can I know? Mom, what are you so anxious about? They just see the quality of our food and want us to order more and send it all to him."
Don't think I'm stupid. I'm spending a lot of energy stones that way. They sell them at more than ten times the price when they resell them to big cities at the purchasing station. Mom, please don't do stupid things in the future. It's not cost-effective. You don't earn enough money to buy energy stones. . "
"Yeah! I know,"
Zhu Xiuyun couldn't help but feel wary. If she sent it to the purchasing station a few more times, she would be suspected. She sold special vegetables once and was noticed by the supervisor. If she went there too many times, she would definitely think there was something wrong.
It seems that I have time to go to town and look for the convoys passing by to collect goods. Ask them if they want to buy vegetables?
Although Huanglong Town is remote, there are also convoys coming to collect mountain goods, and the prices are higher than those offered by the purchasing station. They mainly collect mountain goods, elixirs and exotic beasts.
The convoy usually goes to Tianhu near Huanglong Town to buy fish, shrimp and river fresh food.
They don't accept general vegetables and grains, but if the quality is particularly good, you can negotiate. The fleet doesn't come every day, but once or twice a week.
Zhu Xiuyun planned to find an opportunity to ask and sell goods separately to avoid attracting attention.
It was just ten o'clock when Su Mingjuan returned home. When Su Mingjuan went to return the car in the village, she heard that the village chief had taken people into the mountains again.
At this time, all the strange beasts have given birth to cubs, and the ones that grow quickly have reached adulthood, just in time for hunting.
Originally, Shanquan Village was mainly about hunting, and farming was only a supplement. They mainly provided food for themselves and paid taxes to the empire.
Strange beasts and elixirs from the mountains are their main sources of income. If they want to live a good life and have enough to eat and drink, everyone has to work hard.
The days passed like this, and Su Qing only went to the planting field to induce birth every few days.
Zhu Xiuyun was afraid that her daughter would think something was wrong, so she even replanted the same vegetables in her family's planting field. This way, the yield would be greater and the growing period would be shortened, so Su Mingjuan would not notice it immediately.
Zhu Xiuyun himself waited and watched for two days, contacted a convoy, picked out the best quality vegetables, and wanted to sell them.
At first, the owner of the team refused to accept it at all. Zhu Xiuyun said it was guaranteed to be a special product. After verification, it turned out to be true, and he accepted it.
We made an appointment to deliver it once a week, directly to the vicinity of Tianhu Lake. That way we would be closer, and we wouldn’t need to rent a car. The family’s electric car could fit it in. We could make two trips at most, and it would be close anyway.
The rest were of poor quality and did not look good on the outside. After they were taken off and framed, Su Mingjuan went to the town to sell them to a collection station. After verification, they were no longer special products, and the occasional special products were not so conspicuous.
Time passed by slowly, and Zhu Xiuyun saved a sum of money in just over two months.
At this time, several of the herbs Su Qing planted were about to mature and could be picked.
The people in Shanquan Village are good at picking herbs and know very well when to pick elixirs. Some are annual herbs, while some elixirs are better as they age.
Zhu Xiuyun dug out the annual herbs and left the others to continue growing.
Su Qing asked her to keep one of each for seed use. The elixir seeds she bought last time were really expensive, so she might as well cultivate them herself. With the supernatural energy she exuded, she would definitely cultivate better quality seeds.
After collecting about a hundred kilograms of elixir, Zhu Xiuyun sold it directly to the team. Boss Yang accepted it happily. After verification, it was a special product. He was very happy and gave her a very high price.
That little elixir was actually several times more than the money she earned from growing crops of vegetables and grains.
Zhu Xiuyun finally realized that she was wrong, and she couldn't blame her husband for always saying that as long as they could cultivate a magical medicine, they would no longer have to worry about their livelihood.
Even Qingqing shouted to plant herbs at first. It seems that he is short-sighted and is worse than a child.
Zhu Xiuyun decided to go back and plant more herbs and less vegetables, which would save her labor. It would take at least two months to harvest a crop of herbs, which would take a long time and save worry and effort.
After working non-stop for a period of time and worrying about the labor, Zhu Xiuyun was a little bit too much.
It would be much easier if they all grew elixirs. When I told Qing Qing, she immediately nodded happily. Su Qing had always wanted to grow elixirs.
Su Qing thought that her grandmother would always grow vegetables and food. Unexpectedly, she changed her mind after selling herbal medicines once, and finally discovered that elixirs were the most profitable.
But people in Shanquan Village often collect medicines and sell them for money. How could grandma not know this?
In fact, this is a matter of vision. Zhu Xiuyun knew that the elixir was valuable.
But under normal circumstances, the people in Shanquan Village can collect ordinary elixirs, which are not sold for much money and are of average quality. Only perennial elixirs collected by a team in the mountains can be bought at a high price. Those need to be sold by the village chief. , when distributed to individuals, the amount of money each person receives does not appear to be much.
The elixir spawned by Su Qing's supernatural power is purer in quality than wild ones. It basically does not require a psychic to remove impurities. It is a high-quality raw material for refining pharmaceuticals.
And if you collect a hundred kilograms at a time, even if it is not a particularly valuable herb, the price will definitely be high.
You must know that after these herbs are refined into potions by pharmacists in big cities, their worth may be a hundred times higher.
Zhu Xiuyun planned to plant all the herbs in the new courtyard's planting fields. Even Su Mingjuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s so weird these days, the vegetables in the planting fields are growing so fast.
As soon as she went to sell vegetables at the purchasing station, the supervisor named Zhou would get close to her, asking how they were grown and what special methods were used. His smiling attitude always made her bristle.
She only said that it was a secret method passed down from ancestors and could not be revealed, but the other person was more interested, and she was annoyed. Her mother said that there was a secret recipe, but she didn't say how to make it. She also followed it, and it was not the same old thing. There is a secret recipe.
It would be a good idea not to grow vegetables in the future, so as not to be asked all the time, and since she couldn't make up the secret recipe for farming, all she kept saying was fertilizer, water, and energy stones.
"Mingjuan, let's dig out the potatoes and sweet potatoes first. Once the beans are ready, we won't plant vegetables. I think it's suitable to plant herbs to make money. From now on, we'll all grow elixirs. I'll go to town that day to buy some medicinal seeds. "
"Ah, this is the time to think about how big potatoes and sweet potatoes can grow. Besides, sweet potato leaves can also be fed to pigs, which can save a lot of feed money."
Zhu Xiuyun thought the same thing. He just wanted to clear the land and forgot to raise two pigs.
"Then dig potatoes. No more sweet potatoes. It will take a long time to wait for the pigs to be slaughtered."
Su Mingjuan thought that she didn't have enough time to start talking about potatoes. Seeing that her mother had already made up her mind,
Forget it, it’s just a few ridges of land anyway, just dig it, at most it’s small enough that you can’t sell it and eat it yourself.
