Seeing the old party secretary and Ma Huanshui selling their own mushrooms to the little girl who came to harvest the mushrooms from Shanhai Trading, the villagers had different expressions. After struggling for a while, Yang San was the first to step forward.

"My house is also sold!"

"Yang San, are you crazy!" Wuquan quickly grabbed Yang San and asked anxiously.

"Uncle Wuquan!" Yang San smiled and said, "I'm not crazy. No matter what, I believe in Wang Zhong."

Wuquan was silent, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that Yang San took the lead, many villagers followed suit after hesitating for a while. Suddenly, the whole square became lively. The driver and the villagers were weighing and loading the truck, and the little girl was recording and counting the money.

In between, there was a bit of a lively scene.

The old party secretary looked at this scene with great relief. He looked at each other and smiled at Ma Huanshui.

Wang Zhong had spoken to the two of them a long time ago, and explained the market factors and cost factors clearly to them. The villagers wanted to make money, and although Wang Zhong was willing to help, he certainly could not lose money.

Although many villagers chose to sell mushrooms because they remembered Wang Zhong's kindness in the past, some of them felt that the price of two yuan was too low and wanted to wait and see.

That night, Wang Zhong, who returned home, naturally knew the news, but Wang Zhong said nothing and had no intention of explaining it to the villagers.

Early the next morning, there were several more cars on the road into the village, all of them were vegetable vendors harvesting mushrooms after hearing the news.

The price offered was not much higher, just 2.4 yuan, but it was still 40 cents higher than the price offered by Wang Zhong Company.

The folks who didn't sell the mushrooms to Shanhai Farmers yesterday were so happy that they all sold the mushrooms they saved yesterday. Those folks who sold the mushrooms yesterday also secretly regretted that they shouldn't have been thinking about Wang Zhong.

Due to love, I followed the old party secretary and Ma Huanshui and they sold the mushrooms.

This resulted in that, for three days in a row, Wang Zhong's Shanhai Farm Trade basically received no mushrooms, except for a few here and there.

Wang Zhong didn't mind either, and still asked the mushroom collectors to drive to the head of each village every day to wait, and he wasn't afraid of wasting the gas money.

On the fifth day, Shanhai Farmers' car drove to the square at the head of the village at around six o'clock in the morning as usual. The driver and the girl moved the folding table and shed from the car and set up the shed, just like yesterday.

After setting up the table and stools, and placing the big scale beside them, the two of them sat on the stools boredly, putting their hands on the table to support their heads, and dozed off.

Anyway, it's a day when it's busy, and it's a day when it's not busy. The boss specifically told them before they came that they had to set up the stall there regardless of whether they harvested the mushrooms or not.

When you receive the mushrooms, you leave as soon as you have collected them. If you don't receive them, you sit there for a long time and come back in the afternoon to see how much you received.

The old party secretary carried his hands behind his back, and Li Dayou pulled the cart with three baskets of mushrooms and walked to the mushroom harvesting point. Seeing the little girl dozing off on the table, the old party secretary couldn't help raising his hand and knocking on the table, coughing twice.

Voice.

"Get up and harvest the mushrooms!"

The little girl quickly got up and saw that it was the old branch secretary. A bright smile appeared on her face: "Uncle, it's you again!"

The driver also jumped up and stood up quickly.

"Yeah!" The old branch secretary said with his hands behind his back: "What's the price of these mushrooms today?"

"It's still two yuan!" the little girl said to the old party secretary with a smile.

"Okay!" The old branch secretary nodded: "Sell it!"

"Uncle, it's two hundred and forty-three pounds and four taels. I'll give you two hundred and forty-four pounds. It's a total of four hundred and eighty-eight yuan. Take it!" Miss Xia counted out four hundred and eighty yuan from her bag.

Eight yuan and handed it to the old branch secretary.

The old branch secretary took the money, counted it carefully again, and then put it in his pocket.

This money was to be taken back to Shui Wang's mother. Although Li Dayou was greedy, he also knew that his father would not cheat on his wife's money, so he didn't say anything less.

The old party secretary had just received the money, and Ma Huanshui and Debao's mother also pulled a cart and carried the mushrooms that had just been taken out of the shed.

Ma shouted that Shui's mushrooms were less, only a little over 200, so he got more than 400 yuan.

Next to it, the villagers were also moving the newly picked Agaricus bisporus to the field one after another, waiting for the mushroom vendors to come and collect the mushrooms. Read a book

After a while, the vendors harvesting mushrooms arrived late, and the villagers had been waiting for a long time.

Shanhai Farmers' car was still parked in Pingchang. The little girl took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, sat on a stool, and ate melon seeds while watching the villagers swarm up and surround the vendors.

"What! Two dollars?"

Not long after, the crowd burst into loud shouts, the sound almost reaching the sky.

"Isn't it two yuan and two yesterday? Why is it only two yuan today?"

"The price of mushrooms changes every day. Yesterday, the selling price in the market dropped to 2.8 yuan. I don't know what the price will be today. Two yuan is considered high. We can't pay you to buy mushrooms."

! If you want to sell it, buy it. If you don’t want to sell it, you can find someone else and see if anyone takes it."

The vendors are also very helpless. They are not as big as Shanhai Trading. They work hard to collect mushrooms and earn hard-earned money.

Moreover, by doing this job, it was obvious that he was competing for the rice bowl of Shanhai Farmers. They had all heard that this Agaricus bisporus was grown on the farm of the owner of Shanhai Farmers.

The number of mushroom farmers is large and the output is high. They harvested 70,000 to 80,000 jins of mushrooms on the first day alone, and more on the second and third days. With so many Agaricus bisporus, even if they were scattered to surrounding counties and cities, they would be harvested all at once.

It can't be digested either.

After all, although Agaricus bisporus is good, it is not a staple food. People with slightly better family conditions only buy it occasionally to try it out. Even those from Fujian Province don't eat much.

Ordinary people, when they hear such a high price, immediately back down. With this money, they can weigh a pound of mutton to make dumplings, make steamed buns, stew them and eat them, and they can still make soup.

Here comes a big pot.

Agaricus bisporus is expensive to buy, and it takes a lot of oil to fry it. Even if many people buy it once out of curiosity and cook it, they only eat it once or twice.

After all, this thing has just been launched, and the method has not been studied yet. It is either stir-fried or stewed with mutton.

Fortunately, Agaricus bisporus has another advantage, that is, there is no meat weighing scale for this thing. Even fresh mushrooms are not weighed very much.

"Two yuan is too little!"

The folks sold the mushrooms to them because Shanhai Trading only charged two yuan for harvesting mushrooms, and the small vendors like them paid more.

"How little is that?"

The hawker shook his head and said, "That's a lot!"

After all these days, these vendors come to collect mushrooms every day. Can they sell mushrooms every day just by themselves? That’s definitely not the case. A stall can sell a hundred or ten kilograms a day, but it can cost thousands.

How can it be so easy to sell tens of thousands of pounds?

The mushrooms they bought a few days ago have not been sold out yet. The reason why they came here to buy them is because they saw that there is still profit to be made here. Otherwise, who would bother to come here to collect the mushrooms?

Those who come down to harvest mushrooms should not be called hawkers to be precise. They should be called stock dealers. They collect Agaricus bisporus from mushroom farmers at low prices and bring them to the city or county vegetable markets. They sell part of them themselves and allocate funds to them.

Give it to other vegetable vendors and let them sell part of it.

Strictly speaking, these vegetable vendors are just making a profit in the middle.

The folks bargained with the stock dealer for a long time, but the stock dealer refused to let go.

"It's only two yuan a pound. If that's the case, then we might as well sell it to Shanhai Farmers!" Wuquan said loudly when he saw that the stock dealer wouldn't let go.

After hearing this, the villagers also expressed their support for the five squats.

The mushroom dealer didn't force them to sell. It was everyone's freedom to tell who they sold to, and he had no right to stop them.

The little girl from Shanhai Trading, who was rushing to watch a play, saw such a scene.

First, a few villagers came over and asked them about the price of harvesting mushrooms. After learning that it was still two yuan per pound, all the villagers gathered in front of the Shanhai Farmers’ Purchase Point, holding plastic baskets filled with white Agaricus bisporus.

A big circle.

The little girl's eyes lit up and she immediately became energetic. She quickly called on the villagers to line up. She checked the quality of the mushrooms one by one. The driver was responsible for weighing the mushrooms. The villagers loaded the mushrooms into the car themselves and replaced them with new plastic ones from the driver.

basket.

Like the choice made in Jintan Village, almost all the villagers who knew the price of mushrooms had dropped chose to sell the mushrooms to Shanhai Farmers.

Shui Hua looked at Wang Zhong and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why don't you raise the price of mushroom harvesting from the beginning? Otherwise, you won't be unable to harvest mushrooms in the past few days."

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "My silly wife, we are doing business, not just charity. If we harvested mushrooms at such a high price the day before yesterday, the villagers would sell all the mushrooms to us, even if we have several

The cold storage can’t hold so many mushrooms. Do you think if the price of mushrooms drops, will we make a profit or a loss?”

"Don't we have channels from other provinces? The worst we can do is send it to Xi'an!" Shui Hua said.

Wang Zhong shook his head and said helplessly: "The losses will only be more."

"Not to mention anything else, just the transportation fee and the cost of wear and tear on the road are a huge expense. And even if Agaricus bisporus is shipped to Xi'an, how much can it sell for per kilogram? Don't forget, we are talking about three

One pound."

Shui Hua rubbed her head nonchalantly, with a slightly embarrassed smile on her pretty face: "I forgot about it!"

As he spoke, the expression on his face changed again: "But now that the price of mushrooms has dropped so low, won't the income of the villagers also drop accordingly!"

Wang Zhongdao: "Although this Agaricus bisporus is not a hen that lays golden eggs, let alone the purchase price of two yuan per catty. If we don't open up channels outside the province, we will see the first few species."

Mushrooms are making money, and all the villagers will follow suit and grow mushrooms. When the time comes, our mushrooms will be like potatoes in the field, how can you expect it to be sold at a high price!"

"Besides, how much money did we invest for the mushrooms grown by the folks?"

Speaking of this, Shui Hua's face became serious: "Our four cold storages alone cost more than two million and almost three million."

Wang Zhongdao: "Not to mention our investment in other manpower and various costs. Our money does not come from strong winds."

Shui Hua nodded thoughtfully, her eyes flashed, and she was a little surprised. At the same time, she looked at Wang Zhong with a blank look on her face and said: "I said when I signed the contract, why did you keep saying that after next spring,
