Chapter 198 Very Valuable

There are many tree species, and the village chiefs only brought branches and leaves. Su Qingmei recognized some of them and some of them were not, so she planned to go to the mountains to see them in person after a while. Read М

Looking at the things everyone brought, there were a lot of mushrooms, so she asked: "How did you deal with the mushrooms you picked in previous years?"

"Every family dried them and stored them as vegetables. When there was no food in winter, we put a handful in the soup, and it was so delicious that it made our eyebrows fall off."

Su Qingmei saw the village chief slurping his saliva while talking, and couldn't help laughing.

"You've heard of the term 'mountain delicacies and seafood', right?"

"Yes." "Of course I have." "Even if you haven't seen it, you still know it."

"That's good. We don't have seafood here, but as for mountain delicacies, we live in the mountains. These mushrooms are commonplace and may not be considered precious, but it's not easy for people outside to eat them. They all pay a high price for them."

Su Qingmei opened a vegetable shop and made dried vegetables. Xu Shaoyan also asked her to collect dried mushrooms. She knew the price of mushrooms.

If you want to sell things in the village, mushrooms are a good thing.

"Is this thing expensive outside?"

Su Qing'an nodded and looked through the baskets in everyone's house: "Mushrooms like this, such as matsutake, chicken mushroom, morel, morel, chanterelle, and hericium, are all sold at very good prices. For example, this hericium can be sold at the price of one stone of grain per flower, and there is still a shortage of people."

The village chiefs were surprised: "Ah, this weird-looking mushroom is sold at the price of one stone of grain per flower?"

"President, are you kidding?"

"When did the president joke? Get out of the way, I want to take a good look! My God, what kind of precious mushroom is this? Can you become an immortal after eating it? Why is it so expensive?"

The village chief who brought the hericium also held the basket in his arms like the village chief of Shuzheng Village, and asked carefully: "President, is this mushroom really so expensive?"

Su Qing'an smiled and nodded.

My God! The village chief immediately lost his composure.

He planned to send people into the mountains to find it as soon as he returned! One flower sells for one stone of grain! Oh my god, if everyone in the village finds one, they won't have to worry about food.

Everyone was very excited. There were so many mushrooms, but they didn't know their names. They just called them by their colors, sizes, and appearances. It was really nice to be called this mushroom and that mushroom by the headmaster.

These mushrooms turned out to be so expensive.

They actually ate so much food! They really wanted to dig them out to exchange for food.

"There are quite a few poisonous mushrooms." Su Qing'an picked up two to show everyone.

Fortunately, we usually eat these wild animals in the mountains, and we have gained experience. We won't pick and eat those we don't know or recognize. So we don't bring many with us.

"I hope that our 28 villages can set up a market, and then set up a special purchasing department to purchase the things of each village and sell them together. This way, first, the quantity is large, so it is easier to negotiate prices with the outside world, and second, it can avoid wasting personnel and prices, and avoid prices being messed up due to competition."

"When the time comes, your village will negotiate a price outside, and my village will negotiate a price in order to sell it, then it will be a mess. For example, if no one checks the mushrooms, and poisonous mushrooms are mixed in, and sold outside to kill people, I am afraid we will not be able to escape responsibility."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. This is the truth. Don't mess around! Don't lose the big picture for the small.

Besides, if you want to sell outside, there is no one. It's not that everyone has never sold outside before, but gold was sold as yellow mud, and no one knew the goods, so they sold them at the price of sprouts.

A group of village leaders agreed with Su Qing'an's opinion and asked her to set up the market quickly.

She wanted to organize a market, which was the real money-making place. But before the defense works were completed, there was no manpower and material resources to do it. They had to wait until the spring.

But she would choose a good location before winter.

Then she said to everyone: "Each village cannot expect to exchange the things grown in the mountains for money. In addition to the wild animals in the mountains, each village must develop its own products that can be sold for a long time."

"What products can be sold for a long time?"

"Each village can discuss this on their own. But I have some ideas..."

"President, you say, we all listen to you." They didn't know what these things they brought, and treated the treasures as soil fertilizer. Their ancestors have been trapped guarding the treasures for generations. So they still have to listen to the president.

Seeing that everyone was united, Su Qingmei nodded, turned something out of a village chief's basket, and held up a bamboo leaf for everyone to see.

"I found that everyone's village has bamboo. Bamboo is a good thing..."

Oh, everyone thought it was something else.

Bamboo, it's too common. It can be seen everywhere. It's not bad to say it's bad, but it can be cut to make bamboo houses, bamboo furniture, bowls and cups. It doesn't seem to have any other uses.

It can't be eaten or cooked.

"Have you eaten bamboo shoots?" Su Qingmei asked after looking at the people below.

"Yes. Of course I haven't eaten it. In bad years, I dug up Guanyin soil and ate it. However, bamboo shoots are not very delicious. No one wants to eat them when there are vegetables and grains."

Su Qingmei smiled. She likes to eat bamboo shoots.

"Those who say bamboo shoots are not delicious are probably because you didn't remove the bitterness when you ate them. After removing the bitterness, it tastes very good. It can be eaten fresh, dried, pickled or soaked. Fresh bamboo shoots, sour bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots, can be stir-fried or stewed. There are many ways to eat them. They are delicious and fresh."

Some people below were drooling.

Is it really as delicious as the president said? Who hasn't eaten bamboo shoots?

Seeing everyone's disbelief, Su Qing'an said, "I don't think anyone brought bamboo shoots. What a pity. Otherwise, I'll ask my servants to cook them for you."

Zhaizhu Zhong felt hungry just after hearing what she said. He stood up immediately and said, "I'll order people to dig some in the mountains!"

Seeing Su Qing'an nod, he immediately trotted out.

If bamboo shoots really have so many ways to eat, the villagers will have one more thing to eat. Suddenly, his feet were full of wind.

Afraid of missing the content of the meeting, he put his hands on his waist and shouted, "Come on!" as soon as he walked out of the door.

Someone who lived nearby immediately ran towards him, and he immediately gave instructions. Without waiting for anyone to respond, he immediately turned around and trotted back to the meeting hall.

Su Qing'an and others heard his voice in the meeting room. Seeing him come back, everyone smiled at him.

He didn't care. A bunch of old guys, I told you not to listen to the meeting and run out to see?

I'm afraid you all don't want to leave the stool.

When Su Qing'an saw him coming back, she held up another thing and said, "I just said that bamboo has many benefits, bamboo shoots are also delicious, and another thing is that the bamboo fungus growing in the bamboo forest is a good thing."

Only one village chief brought the bamboo fungus.

He didn't know what this ugly thing was called. There were a lot of them in the bamboo forest. No one wanted them. He brought them here because he thought he could get a reward if he found one more thing. He didn't expect that this was a good thing?

I suddenly felt a fire in my heart.

There is a good thing in their village too! He straightened up immediately.
