Chapter 144 Mushroom Business

But... from now on, there will be so many mushrooms every day, and she can't come to the town to sell mushrooms all day long, so she will basically have no free time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaohe looked at Cai Hehua and said, "Of course, but Sister Cai, my mushrooms are not cheap even if I sell them wholesale."

Cai Hehua breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course, of course. It's rare to eat mushrooms in winter, so it doesn't matter if they are a little more expensive."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Sister Cai can think like this, she will get rich sooner or later."

"Oh, girl, you are really good at talking." Cai Hehua couldn't close her mouth with laughter.

Jiang Xiaohe also smiled, and then discussed with her the wholesale price and the daily quantity, and finally asked her: "I think Sister Cai should have bought these vegetables from the countryside."

Cai Hehua nodded.

"You should have a bullock cart at home. In that case, do you come to pick it up yourself every day? Or should I bring it to you?"

"If you can deliver it, that would be the best. The place where I pick the vegetables is far away, and it's not on the way to Caoping Village."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Okay, then I'll send it to you every day, but I want the money to be paid in cash every day, is that okay?"

"Sure, sure, of course!"

Another deal was done today. Zhang Fu and Wang Qiuxia were also happy when they heard about it.

But delivering the mushrooms is a bit troublesome.

Jiang Xiaohe thought for a while and said, "Dad, Mom, why don't we buy a cow, a donkey or a mule, so that it will be more convenient to deliver goods to them."

Zhang Fu thought for a moment and said: "Then let's buy a cow, so that we can also plow the fields."

Wang Qiuxia also agreed. In that case, just buy it.

"Then Dad will go and inquire about it tomorrow. It would be better if it were as soon as possible. This way it would be convenient for our family."

Zhang Fu nodded and told Wang Qiuxia to clear a piece of land in the backyard. Then he would go to the mountain to cut some trees to build a cowshed.

A simple cowshed was built in the backyard that day, and Zhang Fu's face turned red with excitement.

Wang Qiuxia said, "Your father has wanted to buy a cow for a long time. He also planned to do so when Dashan was here, but he never succeeded. Now that you mentioned it, he immediately became interested."

Jiang Xiaohe hugged Zhang Chuan and said with a smile: "If we had known earlier, we should have bought it earlier."

Zhang Fu smiled and said nothing.

The next day, Jiang Xiaohe got up before dawn, took a lamp and went to the woodshed, picked two large baskets of mushrooms, put them on the scale, weighed out the amount needed by the restaurant and Sister Cai, and then had Zhang Fu carry the mushrooms to deliver them to the town.

Wang Qiuxia looked at the remaining mushrooms and said, "There are still a lot of them left. Are we going to throw them all away?"

Jiang Xiaohe also frowned slightly and thought for a while: "Mom, go call Second Aunt."

"What do you want her to do?"

"You'll find out in a moment."

Wang Qiuxia turned and left.

When Zeng Hua heard that it was Jiang Xiaohe looking for her, she thought it must be a good thing, so she put down her things and ran over quickly.

"Xiao He, you called me."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded, pointing at the mushrooms in the basket, and said seriously: "Second Aunt, I took the mushrooms from my home to the town to sell yesterday. This business is very good. Now the daily output of mushrooms is large, so I want to ask if you want to do this business. After all, it's better to keep the money in the family."

Zeng Hua wanted to ask him yesterday!

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and there are many people going to the market in the town. She was wondering if she could do some business in the town.

"But I heard from my sister-in-law yesterday that you have already cooperated with the vegetable shop in town. If we sell our vegetables in town, will it affect your cooperation?"

Zeng Hua’s first thought was that it should not affect her ability to make money.

Jiang Xiaohe smiled slightly: "Second Aunt, our village is not limited to going to one town for the market. If someone in our town sells it, you can go to the next town to sell it!"

Zeng Hua's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his head: "Look, I forgot about this!"

After saying that, he stood up with some excitement.

Jiang Xiaohe added, "I usually sell mushrooms to them for 25 wen per pound, but I deliver them to their doorsteps. If you want them, and we are relatives, I will charge you 20 wen per pound."

Zeng Hua nodded repeatedly. It was 20 cents per pound, and could be sold for 35 cents per pound in town, so the profit was almost half and half, which was very cost-effective.

"Okay, then I'll go get Daniu now and take it to the next town to sell!"

As the man spoke, he left in a hurry and came back quickly. Zhang Daniu looked at Jiang Xiaohe and said, "Cousin's wife."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded slightly, pointed at the picked mushrooms and said, "Over there, there are about 50 kilograms. You can sell them first, and you can get the money when you come back."

Zeng Hua smiled and said no, gave the money to Jiang Xiaohe, and then urged Zhang Daniu to carry the load and go to the next town quickly.

After seeing them off, Jiang Xiaohe started to get busy again. These days she was busy making mushroom strains and Jun buns.

When Zhang Fu came back in the afternoon, he smiled and said, "Take good care of the cows. We can bring them back tomorrow."

Wang Qiuxia hugged Zhang Chuan and asked him how much he thought it was worth.

Zhang Fu took a sip of water and said, "It's not expensive. It's a cow from the first two years. It's ten taels of silver. But he gave me a cart."

Wang Qiuxia calculated it in her mind and smiled slightly: "That's really a good deal!"

In the afternoon, Zhang Fu cleaned up the cowshed in the backyard so that the cows would live more comfortably.

Zeng Hua and Zhang Daniu came back from selling mushrooms that day with happy faces. It was obvious that the mushrooms must have been selling well.

Wang Qiuxia looked at it and couldn't help but said to Jiang Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, mother, look, your second aunt's family has started a business with us. Can we let Hongwa come to your uncle's place to sell some? Your uncle and his family don't know how to do anything else, they only know how to farm."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "Of course I can. We have many varieties of mushrooms here, and there will be more and more in the future. I'm worried that we won't be able to sell them all! Why don't you give a message to your uncle and the others? Since the New Year is coming soon, you can also make some money for the New Year."

After she said this, Wang Qiuxia immediately agreed and asked someone to take a message to Wangjiawan early the next morning.

Zhang Fu delivered mushrooms to the restaurant and Cai Hehua after breakfast. Zeng Hua also brought Zhang Daniu over before dawn, to help pick some mushrooms and to see how many were left to see if there were enough for them to sell.

Today's output is greater than yesterday's.

"Second Aunt, I think you shouldn't bring too much. I'm afraid you won't be able to sell all of them and end up with nothing."

Zeng Hua was just feeling it was difficult to open her mouth when Jiang Xiaohe's words suited her mood. If there were too much to sell, her family would keep it for themselves to eat. At twenty cents a pound, it was really a waste.

"Then I'm afraid these extra ones will go bad."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and shook her head: "Don't worry, I have other uses for these extra things. You should leave quickly, it's getting late."

After everyone left, Wang Qiuxia looked at the remaining basket of mushrooms and was in a dilemma.

"Xiao He, what should we do with the rest? These mushrooms won't be fresh after a day."

"Don't worry, mom, nothing will be wasted. Let's eat first, and then we'll clean up..."
