Chapter 28 Tens of thousands of kilograms
The villagers who walked this way were very worried. After all, it was a deep mountain, and no one could guarantee that any accidents would happen.
Although the desire to make money is revealed in the eyes of the villagers, they are still cautious and dare not be careless.
Li Xiao agrees with the current mentality of the villagers. Picking fungus in this kind of deep forest, besides some beasts that hurt people, there are other dangers, such as the large ant that Li Xiao encountered a few days ago nest, the danger is even higher than that of ferocious beasts such as wild wolves, tigers and leopards.
If you want to enter the deep mountains, you must be cautious.
Even if Li Xiao can drive the gray wolf Ah Da, relying on Ah Da's ability, he can detect danger early and even drive away many wild beasts, but even so, Li Xiao dare not be careless.
After all, Ada is just a gray wolf, and in some respects it cannot be the same as a human, and the real description is clear.
Under the leadership of Li Xiao and others, the villagers soon came to the fungus producing area.
After seeing the vast fungus producing area in front of them, the villagers all exclaimed.
Ning Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the villagers in the village are naturally no strangers to mountains and forests. Although wild fungus is rare, I have seen many of them over the years.
But they have never seen such a large area of fungus production. In their opinion, this is simply a masterpiece of nature, which really makes them amazed.
At this moment, they also knew how much Li Xiao had paid for them.
Not to mention anything else, but these fungus, if Li Xiao is allowed to pick them by himself, then what he can get will definitely be a sky-high price!
Originally, they were still uncomfortable because of the "kickback" that Li Xiao earned them 10 yuan per kilogram, but now this slight discomfort has disappeared.
Compared with what Li Xiao paid, what he can get is really too little.
It was also at this moment that the villagers truly recognized Li Xiao as a person.
The villagers have already taken out all kinds of bags they brought with them, ready to pick fungus.
Li Xiao coughed and shouted loudly: "Everyone, you must be careful when picking fungus later, and don't damage those dead trees. If everything goes well, we can come here to pick again at this time next year."
In fact, Li Xiao didn't say anything, but the villagers knew it well, just like hunters would not attack cubs when hunting. They have never violated this ancient concept of sustainable development.
After visiting the fungus production area, the villagers secretly estimated that the fungus here is about 60,000 kilograms, and more than 100 of them can pick more than 10,000 kilograms every day. These fungus are probably enough for them to pick for five days. In just five days, I am not afraid of delaying farm work at all, and can make a lot of money. This is simply killing two birds with one stone.
If it is really like what Li Xiao said, he buys it at a price of 60 per kilogram, then each household can at least
Earn an extra thirty thousand yuan.
hiss!
At the thought of 30,000 yuan, almost all the villagers gasped.
How much should that be.
You know, they used to be able to earn more than 10,000 yuan a year at most, but now they have tripled it all at once.
In this way, the villagers' interest in picking fungus is even stronger.
For a whole day, the villagers were picking fungus in this dead wood field. Stimulated by the money, they didn't feel any fatigue at all, and some even didn't even have a bite for lunch.
But even so, the faces of the villagers are still full of joyful smiles.
Especially the villagers whose family conditions are not good, they work even harder.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, the sacks everyone brought could no longer hold the fungus.
Li Xiao led everyone home.
On the way home, everyone had satisfied smiles on their faces, and they were still secretly estimating how much money they could earn this trip.
"Brother Xiao, do you think we will pick fungus tomorrow?" A young villager asked.
"Still picking fungus? You don't want money anymore? I'm going to the county to sell the fungus tomorrow, so I can share the money with you." Li Xiao explained.
Hearing that the money will be distributed tomorrow, the villagers cheered immediately.
Back at the entrance of the village, Li Xiao found that Ling Bingbing was standing there pretty, with an anxious expression on her face, as if she was waiting for her husband to come home.
Seeing that everyone came back intact, Ling Bingbing was relieved.
Speaking of which, she was really worried that day, for fear that the villagers would encounter danger on the road. If a few people were seriously injured or even died, then she might not be able to rest in peace for the rest of her life.
When Ling Bingbing saw Li Xiao coming back with the villagers chatting and laughing, Ling Bingbing immediately greeted him and asked, "How's the harvest?"
Li Xiao glanced at Ling Bingbing, his eyes stayed on her plump lips for the longest time, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Ling Bingbing's blushing face was immediately covered with a layer of blush. It was obvious that she remembered the bet she had made with Li Xiao.
Li Xiao didn't push Ling Bingbing too much, but turned his head and said to everyone: "Masters, the village chief asked, how is your harvest?"
"good!"
"Harvest."
"I made a lot of money."
Hearing the gratitude and laughter from the villagers, Li Xiao was also happy. He felt that what he had done was not in vain, and everything was worth it.
At this time, a villager came to Li Xiao and asked, "Brother Xiao, where do you think we put these fungus?"
Li Xiao looked at it, it was tens of thousands of kilograms of fungus!
I am afraid that these fungus really cannot fit in the yard of ordinary villagers.
Li Xiao pondered for a moment, and said: "Seeing that the weather is good today, it shouldn't rain. How about this, everyone put the fungus in the small square and wait for it to be transported away tomorrow."
Li Xiao's suggestion was immediately echoed by the villagers.
However, a few villagers were still worried and said that they would come to watch at night, and the villagers readily agreed.
In fact, in Li Xiao's view, there is no need to keep vigil at night, because it is not necessary at all.
There are only so many people in Ning Village, and most of them go to the mountains to pick fungus. No one will steal fungus, not to mention that these fungus weigh tens of thousands of kilograms. If someone can steal them, then they are really capable Woolen cloth!
However, Li Xiao still couldn't hold back the excitement and enthusiasm of the villagers. Since they wanted to keep watch at night, they should do so. Anyway, there will be plenty of time for them to catch up on sleep tomorrow.
With the help of Ling Bingbing, the villagers recorded the weight of the fungus they picked and left in twos and threes, leaving only a few villagers to stay in the small square to watch the night.
Fortunately, the night was not very cold, and there was a big light bulb in the small square. A few villagers drank some wine and played poker, and the night was not too difficult.
