Chapter 160 Real Home

The leaders stayed in their Funhua Village for one night, ate special delicacies, admired the surrounding beautiful scenery, and experienced the joy of digging bamboo worms and catching bamboo rats.

The next morning, when they had not gotten up yet, the villagers had already gone into the mountains early to collect mushrooms as usual.

When the county secretary got up, it became clear that the village seemed much deserted. The villagers who had been surrounding them yesterday were all gone.

After asking Li Shengli, I found out that the villagers went into the mountains to collect mushrooms in the middle of the night.

The county secretary lamented: "It's not easy for you!"

He thought he got up early.

Li Shengli smiled and said: "Why is it not easy? The purchase price is high now. It is a joy for everyone to dig for fungi. In the past, when the purchase price was not so high, we still had to go into the mountains and walk for several hours.

If you sell it on the mountain road, you may only earn one or two yuan."

The county secretary nodded: "It is really good for everyone that matsutake can be exported!" Then he asked: "How many mushrooms can you dig up in a day?"

Li Shengli made a careful estimate: "On average, each person can dig more than a hundred kilograms a day. Of course, it also depends on luck. God will reward you more, and the big guys will dig more."

More than a hundred kilograms, if the purchase price of each kilogram is 3 yuan, then the villagers can earn the highest monthly salary of a skilled worker in the city in one day!

The county secretary took a deep breath. If he hadn't been the county secretary, he would have been digging for mushrooms to make money.

The county secretary asked again: "Then if we dig out these fungi every day, will there be less and less of them?"

Li Shengli shook his head: "No, when we dig, we will pay attention to burying the fungus pit. The big fungus that has opened its umbrella will shoot out spores, and it will continue to grow in the future."

The county secretary nodded: "Then you haven't thought about planting this kind of matsutake directly?"

The county secretary believes that such a precious medicinal material as dendrobium can be cultivated artificially if the skills are mastered, and matsutake is probably also possible.

Li Shengli smiled and said: "Matsutake mushrooms are more delicate, and they are more demanding on the growing environment. Jiang Ancheng said that they cannot be grown."

Moreover, if it could be planted, the Kingdom of the Sun would have been so much more developed than they are now, so it would have been planted long ago.

A trace of regret flashed across the face of the county secretary. It would be great if it could be grown and exported directly without being subject to God's limitations that affect the output.

However, things are rare and valuable, and the county secretary also knows that.

Perhaps this is the reason why matsutake can afford such a good price.

As we chatted, we heard one after another that villagers were coming back.

The county secretary followed Li Shengli to Bazi and watched everyone sorting matsutake mushrooms.

The matsutake mushrooms, which were fat and well-proportioned, were carefully sorted into different baskets by the big guy.

Jiang Ancheng was checking the quality of these matsutake mushrooms.

If you find a bug hole or a big matsutake mushroom as thick as a baby's arm, you can't take it.

The price will also drop from the original three yuan per catty to a few cents per catty.

The huge price difference made the county secretary couldn't help but ask: "Can't these matsutake mushrooms with poor quality be exported?"

It stands to reason that not all rich people are in the Kingdom of the Sun. Even if the appearance is not so perfect, there should be people who can buy and consume it.

Jiang Ancheng replied: "My two big bosses have made it clear that they can only purchase perfect matsutake for export. Once before, matsutake detected insects that were not found in the Kingdom of the Sun, which directly led to the suspension of matsutake exports."

For a period of time, the boss at that time had no way to get the customs to release the goods."

The requirements were so strict. The county secretary nodded in understanding, squatted down and looked at the matsutake mushrooms and asked, "You will send them out immediately after sorting them?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "The best shelf life of matsutake is only three days, so it must be sent to the plane on the same day. The people of the Sun Country are very selective, and they must be fresh enough, otherwise, others will not pay for it!"

"The longer the delay on the road, the lower the price will be. Therefore, the most convenient road must be built so that the matsutake can reach the Kingdom of the Sun as quickly as possible."

The county secretary came to Junhua Village and disappeared for four whole days. The villagers carried baskets of matsutake on their backs and climbed over mountains one after another. It was indeed very hard.

Jiang Ancheng also specifically revealed: "Many bosses want to get a share of this industry, and the price of matsutake will continue to rise because its output cannot be artificially intervened. If you want to make money, you must buy it from the mountain people."

, I think the price will rise to tens of dollars per pound, and it won’t be a problem at all.”

In a previous life, the highest purchase price for matsutake was several hundred yuan per pound.

Hearing the information revealed by Jiang Ancheng, the county secretary's eyes widened.

If you can sell it for tens of yuan per kilogram, that’s still a good deal!

Much more expensive than gold.

Seeing that Jiang Ancheng was not joking at all, the county secretary said excitedly: "This road must be repaired! Repair it!"

To make fungus collection become more intense, the best protection is to build roads.

Not only the fungi had to be shipped out, but also the flowers in the village and the dendrobium in the village had to be shipped out.

However, road construction is not done casually. Once it is built, it must be ensured that many villages in the mountains can benefit.

The county secretary remembers to go back and arrange for a geological survey team to conduct an inspection, and only then can he come up with a specific plan and report it to his superiors.

Seeing that the county secretary had made it clear that the road would be built, Jiang Ancheng felt secretly happy because he had saved a lot of money for road construction.

If he spends money to build roads, he may not be able to build them faster than the government.

After all, having seen the benefits brought by matsutake with their own eyes, the government must be more eager than anyone else.

The county leaders followed the mountain people away. Even though the mountain people were carrying so many things, they were easily left behind.

Seeing that they were struggling, Li Shengli and Mayor Xu both advised: "Let's go slowly, don't be in a hurry!"

The county leaders gasped and nodded, "Okay, then walk slowly!" They were thinking in their hearts that this road must be repaired as soon as possible, otherwise it would take several hours each time, and even the gods would be unbearable.

Jiang Ancheng and Li Shengli sent off to the county leaders together. Chen Yufei passed by Xin Hong's village, thinking that today would be the day when Xin Hong would come back, and became particularly distraught.

Jiang Ancheng said: "Go find Xin Hong."

Chen Yufei was like a monkey out of the cage, almost jumping three feet high. "Okay brother!" His handsome suit was blinded.

Chen Yufei swooped into the woods and disappeared. The county leaders belatedly asked, "Hey, An Cheng, where is your big brother Chen Yufei?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "He has something wrong and has gone to find someone."

The county leaders nodded: "Well, I thought he was alone."

"Hahaha, we all grew up in the woods and we can't be left alone."

Seeing that Jiang Ancheng and the others were moving swiftly, and they really didn't look like they could be left alone, everyone felt relieved.

When they were struggling to reach the town, the county leaders looked particularly embarrassed because of the slippery road.

Seeing that they were about to arrive in the town, everyone simply tidied up the mud on their legs and feet, straightened their clothes and hairstyle, and then walked out of the field path and came to the town in a grand manner.

As soon as the county leaders arrived in the town, Zeng Shuanglin hurried over and whispered to Jiang Ancheng: "Brother, someone is harvesting mushrooms, and the price is 50 cents higher than the highest price we gave!"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Everyone went to their place to sell mushrooms?"

Zeng Shuanglin nodded: "Everyone who came early went to line up."

Jiang Ancheng thought for a while: "Then you also increase the price by fifty cents."

Zeng Shuanglin took a deep breath and said, "Is it going to be raised by fifty cents?"

It’s too high this time!

Will these people deliberately raise the price?

Zeng Shuanglin told Jiang Ancheng his concerns.

Jiang Ancheng shook his head and said: "The purchase price of matsutake is much more than this. Just wait, it will be even higher in the future."

Zeng Shuanglin had no choice but to inform him that the price of each grade of fungi would increase by fifty cents.

As soon as the notice was given, the mountain residents immediately became excited.

Not only did such a high purchase price not fall, but it actually rose.

Matsutake is truly a precious thing.

The crowd burst into excitement, and the county leaders thought they were cheering them to leave.

Afterwards, I realized that it was because Jiang Ancheng had increased the price to collect mushrooms, so he asked Jiang Ancheng in surprise: "Why did the price suddenly increase?"

Jiang Ancheng said: "I have signed a purchase contract with the above. I must receive so many mushrooms. If others increase the price to collect the mushrooms, it will affect my purchase volume. Therefore, the price increase is inevitable."

Surprise flashed across the face of the county secretary. Before, he had slight doubts about Jiang Ancheng's statement that the fungi would cost at least tens of yuan per pound. Now, he no longer had any doubts.

He left with a full stomach for future plans for the entire county.

Li Shengli asked Jiang Ancheng excitedly: "Is the road construction stable this time?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "It should be stable."

I hope this life will be better than the last, and that the road can reach their village directly.

Don't be like in your last life and have to go around and around for a long time.

Li Shengli and Mayor Xu still have something to discuss. Maybe Mayor Xu wants to ask about the situation of flower planting in their village.
