Chapter 1480 My Altay 27
Xu Qin took Token into the mountains to pick wood ear mushrooms, but unexpectedly they met Li Wenxiu and a strange man who were also in the mountains. The man looked like a Han Chinese and seemed to be much older than Li Wenxiu.
Token pulled Li Wenxiu over and asked, "Who is this man?"
Li Wenxiu reluctantly explained: "His name is Gao Xiaoliang, and he is someone I met in Urumqi. He is cunning, but my mother believes he is a good person."
"He wanted to make money so he could return home in glory. I only knew there were fungus on the ranch, so I brought him out to try it out."
Token is now more confident about picking fungus, but she still doesn't forget to criticize the Han people for eating everything: "Our cattle, sheep and milk are delicious, we don't need to eat these ugly fungus or something."
Regarding Token's blatant act of pulling down others, Xu Qin explained, "Fungus ear contains many nutrients that beef, mutton and dairy products do not have. Hundreds of years ago, fungus was considered a mountain delicacy."
"Altay also has a plant called Ferula, which has many medicinal values. It also grows with a precious mushroom called Ferula, which not only tastes good, but is also quite expensive."
"In addition, there is a kind of Bachu mushroom on the grassland, which tastes good and is only slightly cheaper than the asafoetida, but not cheap either."
"Even some wild fruits growing in the woods can be made into jam and the price can go up."
Then Xu Qin and Li Wenxiu stared at Token in amazement as he slapped his knees and said in grief: "How much money did I pass!"
“That’s all money!”
Li Wenxiu teased Token tentatively, "There are also wild flowers on the grassland. If you raise bees, you can harvest a lot of nectar in one summer. It's not cheap either."
Token didn't bow his head and pat his knees this time. Instead, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "You Han people are smart. You can turn anything into money!"
"How much money did I make wrong?"
Seeing that Token was so sad that he wanted to cry, Xu Qin quickly said, "Token, don't worry. I'm here to help you pick some fungus today. I'm sure we can pick a lot. I'll go back and ask my parents how much they charge for it tomorrow."
Li Wenxiu also took Token's bag and offered to help: "I'm not as fast as you, but one more person is worse than two of you."
The three of them dispersed. After hearing the conversation between the three women, Gao Xiaoliang became more confident in the business of collecting black fungus. He decided to spread the word about the business so that he could earn more from the difference.
Xu Qin kept his word and went back to the county town early the next morning with the wood ears that Token had picked and dried overnight.
Xu Meifang was very happy to see her daughter back, but when she heard her ask about black fungus, she felt embarrassed: "Black fungus is only eaten by us Han people, and ethnic minorities hardly eat it. But we do have a way to sell it, but it may not work."
Xu Qin did not intend to add pressure to her family. She had thought about it early on. She had some connections here and could sell directly to the capital. She comforted her mother and said, "Don't worry, mom. Fungus is available all year round, but the best quality is the spring fungus produced on basswood in spring. It tastes delicate, crispy and tender, and is very easy to digest. Naturally, the price is not cheap."
"The summer fungus produced in the summer has the roughest taste. Its advantage is that it has a large output. Although its price is much cheaper, as the output increases, the profit will also increase."
"I know all this thanks to my college classmates. We come from all over the world and have different eating habits. I'm sure I can find a way to sell it."
Xu Meifang agreed quickly, but kept this in mind in her heart, thinking that she should ask her uncle and husband to pay more attention to what was happening outside. After hearing Xu Qin say that these fungus were picked little by little by the herdsmen, she understood what was going on and what Xu Qin wanted to do, so she decided to help Xu Qin accomplish this task.
At noon, Xu Qin personally made a hot and sour soup, which was made with shredded black fungus, egg skin and shredded carrots. The whole family was very supportive and praised Xu Qin's slightly outstanding cooking skills to the sky.
The wood ear mushrooms from the ranch are rougher in texture than the spring wood ear mushrooms from other places, but much finer than the summer wood ear mushrooms, so Xu Qin packed up the rest and sent them to his classmate who runs a restaurant, asking him to determine the purchase price.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether the other party buys it or not. At worst, she can pay for all the wood ear mushrooms produced by the ranch this year. It doesn’t matter whether she can sell them or not. Anyway, she will definitely find a market for them.
All Xu Qin wanted was a reference price.
There were many people in the capital who wanted to get in touch with Xu Qin. Many of them were thinking about her ability to make money by trading stocks, so when Xu Qin made a phone call, her old classmate turned around and told her relatives about her needs.
The matter of purchasing black fungus was confirmed, and the purchase price was given at 40 yuan per kilogram.
Xu Qinke never thought of making a profit from the price difference, even though the price was given out of her face. After Token spread the word about the purchase price, the idle people in the nearby ranches began to run into the woods, which naturally alarmed many animals of all sizes in the woods. Sulitan then cooperated with Chaoge in patrolling as a hunter again. After several times, he finally agreed to Token's remarriage with two children.
Sulitan agreed to Token's remarriage, but Token was not in a hurry to get married. She and Chaoge agreed to try to earn more money by picking wood ear and mushrooms this summer, and then open a small restaurant in the city and take the two to study in the county.
At the same time, it was agreed that the two children would not change their surnames, and they would return to the ranch to stay with Sulitan during the winter and summer vacations and would not become unfamiliar with Sulitan's family.
Sulitan's family problems were solved. Seeing that he could make a lot of money by picking wood ear mushrooms, Sulitan agreed to work at Batai Horse Farm. He also promised that he would not raise so many sheep next year. Moreover, the tourism industry here was gradually developing. He felt that as long as he was allowed to graze, he would not have to worry about other things.
Only Zhang Fengxia encountered a lot of hardships. She met Gao Xiaoliang in Fairy Bay and thought that Gao Xiaoliang was asking her husband Li Shan to let her go. She was indeed attracted to Gao Xiaoliang. Unfortunately, Gao Xiaoliang was a man with evil intentions. He even destroyed the ranch and used Xinjiang Cordyceps, which was far less effective, to impersonate Tibetan Cordyceps. He was caught on the spot by Chao Ge.
When Gao Xiaoliang was escaping, he snatched the jadeite hanging around Grandma Li's neck, almost causing her to get hurt, and he also injured Li Wenxiu who was chasing after him.
At this point, Zhang Fengxia finally saw Gao Xiaoliang's true face. After Gao Xiaoliang was sent to the police station by Chao Ge, she no longer thought of Gao Xiaoliang. She just took Li Wenxiu and Grandma Li with everyone and moved to another place to continue running the convenience store. Her life was quite interesting.
Li Wenxiu got together with Wu Ran from the water plant. Wu Ran was also a young literary man who wrote some articles, but he was not as good as Li Wenxiu. The two of them lived a colorful life.
And Xu Qin only dated Batai, who helped Token take care of Yerdana and Nadira, and never thought about having his own bloodline. The two of them spent their lives like this, and their only regret was Sulitan.
