Chapter 334: Ominous Omen

Seeing that his son was only home at this time, the old couple felt really distressed.

You know, their stupid son went out at three o'clock in the morning before the rooster crowed. After going out and entering the mountains, he has been busy until it is completely dark before he returns home. How can he not feel sorry for him?

Although the old couple often tortures their stupid son, no matter what, this stupid son is also his biological son. Furthermore, although his son is very strong, he is also made of meat and not made of stone, so how can he withstand such torture?

Wu Cuimei looked at her son who was covered in embarrassment and said with heartache and worry: "Qingshan, look at you, you went out at three o'clock in the morning and were still busy until now. Although making money is very important, no matter how important it is, it is not as important as your body."

Liu Qingshan thought that his mother would say this early in the morning, so he happily started to instruct his mother: "Mom, don't worry, it's just today, it won't be tomorrow. Don't worry, it's tiring for a day, it's not exhausting."

Wu Cuimei's brows became even tighter when she said that she would never die: "Bah, don't say such things. In short, you are not allowed to be so busy in the future. Do you know? There is no end to work, and it's the same if you do it in two days."

"I got it." Liu Qingshan said with a funny look, "Mom, didn't I tell you, that's all today, and I won't do it anymore after that."

Because today only has one day, but I have to pick 600 kilograms of bracken, so time is relatively tight and I have to do this.

But tomorrow will be different.

The next morning, Liu Qingshan got up before dawn. However, instead of going into the mountain to pick ferns, he delivered the ferns to restaurants and hotels in the county. According to the contract, the family had 100 kilograms.

When we arrived at the county town and just delivered the bracken to the first hotel, the older manager immediately pulled Liu Qingshan over and whispered: "Qingshan, thanks to your bracken, our restaurant business was booming yesterday, and two or three plates of bracken were ordered on almost every table."

When Liu Qingshan heard that the business was so good, he was happy for him: "That's good, just make money."

"Hehe." The manager took Liu Qingshan's hand and continued, "Qingshan, do you think this is OK? Our business here is so good. It's really not enough to eat 100 kilograms of bracken for two days. Otherwise, how about it? In the future, it will be changed to 100 kilograms of bracken per day? Look, some tables can eat 4 or 5 kilograms of bracken on one table. You can divide 100 kilograms of bracken for two days, and 50 kilograms of bracken a day. There are only a dozen tables that can be opened. Many customers can't eat, so they can only watch others eat."

"This is not very good." Liu Qingshan said in a difficult situation. "Now, I'm going to give you 100 kilograms of bracken the next day. I really can't add more."

Hearing Liu Qingshan say this, the manager gave another idea: "Then that's it. Give them a little less and give me a little more."

"This is even worse." Liu Qingshan quickly refused, "Everyone has signed a contract, I can't do such a thing. Since everyone has agreed to allocate 100 kilograms, I must send at least 100 kilograms to others. I can't speak out. If you want to divide some of their 100 kilograms, then you go and tell them."

The manager said in a daze: "How could they share it with me? I heard that after buying these shops with your bracken, the business was very good yesterday. How could they give in after tasting the sweetness?"

"That's all right? Don't be too greedy, one hundred pounds are enough."

Seeing that Liu Qingshan was so stubborn, the manager couldn't force it. After accepting the bracken, he paid 2,000 yuan on the spot.

The situation of the next five restaurants and hotels is basically the same, and they all want to ask for more bracken. But no one in Liu Qingshan agreed.

This made everyone affirm Liu Qingshan's character.

This man is a bit selfless.

If you deal with such a person, you definitely don’t have to worry about being deceived.

These six restaurants and hotels were very happy, but Manager Li was not very optimistic.

Manager Li looked at the restaurant opposite, but his restaurant was deserted. Then he turned his head and stared at the dazzling '30% off' on the poster at the door, feeling very uncomfortable.

Why?

Why can't you beat the restaurant opposite with such a large discount?

Why?

Just because he has bracken, I don't?

It’s impossible. No one doesn’t like to be greedy for small gains, so I don’t believe it. I will reduce the discount level a little. Has no one come to have a meal yet?

So soon, the 30% discount was changed to 30% discount.

Although things in restaurants and restaurants have always been ridiculously expensive, such discounts are almost equal to the cost price.

Because rent, water, electricity, labor and materials are all money, this is already the lowest discount. If it is low, it will lose money.

So, Manager Li decided to make his final attempt, and he believed that such a low discount would not be unmoved.

Sure enough, within a while, a luxury car parked at the door. The beautiful welcome ladies' eyes lit up. The security guards on the side hurried forward to help open the door.

The man in the luxury car couldn't get out and just asked, "Do you have fresh bracken here?"

"Ah?" The security guard was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He must have known that there is no bracken, because the manager has been very annoyed about this in the past two days.

However, he couldn't say nothing, so he said vaguely: "Boss, I don't know this. I'm just a gatekeeper. I'll go in and ask you, wait a moment."

The security guard walked into the front hall and informed Manager Li about the situation outside the door.

When Manager Li learned that a customer had arrived, he quickly walked out, leaned over beside the car window, and said respectfully: "Boss, are you here to have a meal? Now our hotel is holding an event, and the discount is unprecedented. If you come to have a meal, all dishes will be 60% off."

The man in the luxury car looked at Manager Li and asked, "Do you have bracken here? The fresh one."

Manager Li was stunned and thought to himself that if there was no bracken, the man might leave immediately, so it would be best to avoid this problem.

He quickly said, "Oh, what's the good thing about bracken? We have authentic local chicken here, and the chicken soup cooked is all golden. We also have small white strips here, they are all fresh and the taste is very beautiful. Boss, come in and take a look?"

The man in the luxury car frowned, stared at Manager Li, and asked again: "Then do you have bracken here?"

Manager Li was a little panicked, but he still pretended to be calm. Since the question had reached this level, he could not avoid it, so he said, "Oh, boss, look, we only sell high-end ingredients here, wild vegetables like bracken that are full of mountains and fields, and cannot be on the table."

"Then do you have it or not."

"No." Manager Li spit out two words weakly.

The man in the luxury car said unhappy: "If you don't have you, just say it directly. Why do you have to pay so much? Such a big store doesn't even have bracken, and you're so embarrassed to say that you only sell high-end ingredients."

Manager Li was so angry that he was so angry that he said that the man didn't give him a chance to refute and left as soon as he stepped on the accelerator.

Looking at the luxury car that was leaving, Manager Li took a deep breath and comforted himself: "Bah, what are you pretending to be? If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. I think this kind of person can only afford wild vegetables."

"Manager Li, that car seems to cost more than one million." Although the little security guard is just a little security guard, he has a dream of luxury cars like every man.

Manager Li paused after hearing this and said angrily: "Luxury cars are amazing. Let me tell you, Xiao Chen, such people are just pretenders. Maybe the cars are borrowed, otherwise, they might just be a stinky driver."

After speaking, Manager Li left angrily, leaving the little security guard with a confused look on his face.

There is no need to worry about the sales of bracken, so after Liu Qingshan returned home from the county town, packed up his things and went into the mountain to continue picking bracken.

Because I went out just dawn in the morning, I could come back from the county town at 8 o'clock.

If you get home at around nine o'clock and then go into the mountain, even if you work until six o'clock in the afternoon, you still have eight or nine hours to work.

I can work for eight or nine hours today, but if I enter the mountain at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning and go home at 5 o'clock, I will have another ten hours, which is equivalent to picking bracken for two days.

In this way, when the bracken is sent to the county town the day after tomorrow, it will definitely be able to share a lot of bracken for six restaurants and hotels.

Before, it was 100 kilograms per person, but the day after tomorrow, 150 kilograms per family should not be a problem. In this way, the income will increase by several thousand, approaching 20,000 yuan.

However, the price is that you must shorten your sleep time and run around the mountains for days and face various dangers.

Although Liu Qingshan didn't know that he almost encountered a poisonous snake before, nor did he know that his dark blue eyes saved his life, as a standard mountain man, he still had some understanding of the various hidden dangers in the mountains.

Although the lunar calendar is only February, in such a place with spring seasons, snakes always end their hibernation earlier than other areas.

Other places may have to wait until Qingming Festival to finish hibernation, but in the local area, as long as the weather is warm and the sun shines on the earth, snakes will recover with the recovery of the earth.

Therefore, for safety reasons, Liu Qingshan would wear thicker pairs of jeans every time he entered the mountain, and a pair of thicker stockings, and stuff two legs into the socks.

In this way, it can be more or less prevented.

Liu Qingshan is not afraid of wild boars or big cats, but he has a natural fear of perverts like snakes.

His fear of snakes is not only because he sees real snakes, but even if he only looks at images and pictures, he will feel fear, just as if there is an untraceable past between him and the snakes.

However, after all, I am a giant. Even if I fear something, I will not let him stay away. I can only say that I will be a little careful because I am afraid of this thing.

Fortunately, after a few days, I haven't encountered too many snakes.

However, in the last two days of the contract, when Liu Qingshan entered the mountain again, he was really shocked by the scene in front of him.

Today is not as clear as before. The warm sunshine hid in the thick gray clouds early on. From the beginning of the morning, fine rain began to float in the sky.

Wu Cuimei was wearing a straw hat and cleaning chicken and duck feces in the yard. Seeing that her son was about to enter the mountain in the rain, she said, "Green Mountains, it's raining, don't go today."

Liu Qingshan was wearing a split raincoat with sleeves and pants, and a plastic hat attached to the raincoat. When he raised his head, he could feel the cool rain hitting his face.

This is spring rain. Although it is spring rain in February, it is still a little chilly.

However, this coolness will not soak the bones like winter rain, but will only cool down the skin and give people a sense of coolness.

Rain is rain in the mountains, so these rains will be mixed with the smell of mountain wind. The smell of mountain wind may be the smell of pine trees, or wild lilies, or azaleas. In short, there is wind in the rain, flowers in the wind, and spring in the flowers.

Such rain is somewhat comfortable for a strong person.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan didn't care much, but instead smiled and said to his mother: "Mom, you can even sweep the yard here in the rain, why can't I enter the mountain?"

"I'll have been working for a while. If you want to enter the mountain, it will be a whole day." Wu Cuimei looked at her son with a heartache and said, "Qingshan, don't go today. My left eyelid is pounding all the time today. I always feel that something will happen."

After hearing what my mother said, Liu Qingshan discovered that there were several broken toothpick tips on her eyelids.

Locally, there is a saying that if your eyelids keep twitching, something bad may happen.

The way to prevent these bad things from happening is to get some pointed wooden sticks and stick them on your eyelids and press them down. This behavior is also called pressing the pole on your eyelids.

If you press the shoulder pole on your eyelids, you can suppress the bad things that are about to happen, and then you can turn bad luck into good luck.

Although these statements have no scientific basis, they play a great psychological role in people, so that sometimes when their eyelids are really twitching, people will be full of worry and cannot do things well. Maybe in the end, it will really lead to some bad things.

Liu Qingshan was influenced by his family since childhood. Although he was half-believing and half-doubted about these things, he thought that the contract period was about to end. If he didn't get more bracken, he would be suppressed by a large number of bracken in two days.

Therefore, he had to take advantage of the fact that no one has entered the mountains to pick bracken and make more bracken.

Now the bracken in the mountains is growing one after another. In a few days, when the mountain people find that bracken has grown taller and can be picked, it is estimated that many bracken will suddenly emerge on the market. By that time, bracken will not be able to afford any price.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan naturally refused to listen to his mother's dissuasion and insisted on going into the mountains.

Wu Cuimei looked at her son's back as she was leaving, and was very worried. She quickly put down the bamboo broom in her hand and went into the room to burn incense.

Liu Qingshan braved the drizzle and went to the deep mountains. Along the way, he saw a lot of bracken in the mountains around the village.

However, these bracken are thinner and shorter than those in the deep mountains, after all, they have not grown up yet.

Of course, if you can't pick ferns in the deep mountains, it's good to search for these small bracken near the village.

However, Liu Qingshan had already seen a few ferns in the mountains yesterday, so he thought that he would pick the ferns in the mountains today, and then pick some ferns near the village tomorrow morning to make up some points. Then, he would deliver them to restaurants and hotels in the county at noon. In this way, the contract period for ferns will end.
