Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 304: Mushroom Trading

Chu Jie and Lin Fengwan went on a business trip happily. Of course, there was also the poor bag-carrying boy Luo Cheng.

Shichun’s work has come to an end.

Chunni is busy picking oyster mushrooms again.

The oyster mushrooms grown in soil did not grow well, but the oyster mushrooms grown on the corn cobs grew well.

Yang Yuejin volunteered to go to the city to sell oyster mushrooms.

Yang Yuejin, Yang Qianjin's younger brother, followed his older brother and his wife in Yangcheng for a while, but found selling clothes boring and uninteresting, so he returned to the village.

Yang Ersao chased him all over the village and beat him, but he couldn't get back to Yangcheng. She had no choice but to keep nagging him at home every day, hoping that she could convince her son with her eloquence.

She didn't convince Yuejin, but she annoyed him. He was away from home all day except for eating and sleeping. This made Yang Ersao very angry, but she could do nothing about it.

Yang Yuejin, who had nothing to do, just happened to know that Chunni's family was going to sell mushrooms, so he went to their house to recommend himself.

"Aunt, I helped my eldest brother sell goods in Yangcheng, and I am very familiar with the sales process." Yang Yuejin patted his chest.

Chunni was worried that she couldn't find anyone to sell the oyster mushrooms to, so she took the opportunity to survey the oyster mushroom market!

Yang Yuejin came to the door.

So she agreed readily.

"Okay, I won't waste my manpower. You help me sell the mushrooms. I'll give you a share." She thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you 30% of the profit from the mushrooms."

"Just split the profits. It's not a big deal." Yang Yuejin waved his hands repeatedly.

"If you don't want a share, then I'll have to find someone else."

"That's fine, but 30% is too much. 10% is about right."

"That's 20% then."

After a heated argument, Yang Yuejin finally accepted the 20% profit.

"Come to my house tomorrow morning and pick ten kilograms of oyster mushrooms to test the waters!" Chunni arranged again.

"Okay." Yang Yuejin smiled. His family also grew vegetables. When they couldn't eat all the vegetables, his father would take them to the market to sell, and they sold very well.

His family has the gene to sell vegetables, and he doesn’t believe that he can’t sell vegetables well.

Yang Yuejin was full of confidence and had already inquired about the market location and average price of oyster mushrooms two days ago. These oyster mushrooms were wild oyster mushrooms picked from the mountains.

He arrived at the market with full confidence, spread a piece of rotten flowered cloth on the ground, and then placed the tender oyster mushrooms on the cloth.

What's more, the fresh and tender oyster mushrooms placed on the tattered floral cloth actually create a visual contrast, making the mushrooms look even more shiny, fresh and lovely.

Yang Yuejin nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the endless stream of uncles and aunts buying vegetables, he imitated his elder brother's way of greeting customers and shouted: "Selling oyster mushrooms, fresh oyster mushrooms, selling smooth, tender, fresh and delicious oyster mushrooms!"

His shouting successfully attracted several middle-aged ladies who were shopping at the morning market.

"Young man, your mushrooms are not fresh!"

Yang Yuejin felt relieved. Only people who really want to buy something will be picky and willing to bargain!

"Auntie, please take a closer look." He took a mushroom in his hand and handed it to the lady who was speaking.

"If these mushrooms are not fresh, you may not be able to find fresher ones. I got up in the middle of the night to pick them. Look carefully, there is still dew on them!"

The old lady stretched out her hand to wipe away the water droplets.

"Don't touch them." Yang Qianjin gathered the mushrooms and placed them on the rotten cloth. "If you touch them, they won't be fresh."

The old lady withdrew her hand awkwardly.

"Young man, good job! You dare to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms so late at night. Aren't you afraid of encountering big ones?" someone joked.

"What do you know? I didn't pick these oyster mushrooms from the mountains. My aunt grew them herself." Yang Yuejin raised his head proudly.

"In my entire life, I have never heard that you can grow oyster mushrooms yourself."

"That's right, you brag without thinking."

"No wonder the sky is so dark today!"

"Why?"

"Because someone is exaggerating."

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

"..."

Yang Yuejin was still young after all, and when he was scolded, he felt so ashamed and angry that his face turned red.

"You're surprised by what you've seen. You haven't seen dry rice cultivation before! Most people in Tuo County don't plant more now."

"That's different." Someone argued. "The girl who invented dry rice seedling cultivation was the reincarnation of the God of Agriculture in heaven. She was reborn to teach us ordinary people how to grow crops. Your aunt can't compare to her."

"That's right. The rice is growing better this year than in previous years. There was a strong wind the other day and I thought the rice would fall down like in the past. But the next day I went to the fields and saw that except for a few that had fallen down, all the rice was standing upright!"

"My family doesn't have many either."

“There are fewer pests and diseases.”

"Hehe, I think this year's rice harvest will be 20% more than in previous years. My grandson can finally eat white rice!"

"After my family harvests the rice, I will cook some rice to eat! Hehe, after ten years, I can finally enjoy some rice!"

"My relative's rice is good too. He said he would give me a bag of it after the harvest!"

"..."

The topic has completely gone off topic.
