Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 393 Dried Mushrooms

However, Fu Biao and his group did not have a smooth journey when they left DD City.

Their original plan was to search for specialty items in nearby towns along the way, buy and sell them along the way, and make a profit from the difference.

As a result, when passing by a small village, he was almost cheated by a seemingly honest farmer.

They used some salted fish to exchange for dried mushrooms with the locals. The price of dried mushrooms varied depending on their type.

Because there is a large pine forest in the area, every household will pick a lot of chicken mushrooms after the rain, dry them and eat them slowly.

Fu Biao had been here once before and was very satisfied with the quality of their dried chicken mushrooms. This time he still used the price he had negotiated last time. He thought he could get a lot of good mushrooms and make a profit after visiting the two cities.

If it weren't for Jiang Yu's keen sense of smell, and if he hadn't detected that the smells in two bags were different from the first ones, he might have been fooled by them.

Under Jiang Yu's command, Fu Biao took the two bags, opened the seals and began to check.

The chicken mushrooms on the upper layer were indeed good, but when he took them out and looked at them again, the chicken mushrooms at the bottom were either damaged or not dried enough and were still damp.

Let's not talk about the weight first, but the mushrooms were not dried and would soon go bad if they were kept in the carriage. Fu Biao's face turned dark in an instant.

Xiong Lijin's originally friendly expression turned serious. He was ready to pay just now, but now the village had to deal with the current problem before he could talk to them about money.

The village chief's face also looked very ugly. He stared at the two bags of mushrooms, wishing sparks could come out of his glare and he could just burn those things and be done with it.

Fu Biao snorted coldly and said to the village chief, "This is different from what we agreed at the beginning. Isn't it a bit immoral to buy something like this?"

The most important thing in doing business is, of course, integrity. I believe that your products are good, so I will come to buy from you again. But you have betrayed my trust. Sorry, there won't be a next time.

The village chief had obviously thought of this possibility, and he immediately put on a smiling face and said to them in a flattering manner, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, it's because we didn't supervise properly that this happened. Comrade Fu, don't take it to heart, we definitely can't sell these two bags to you, how about this, you can go to my house for a simple meal first, and then we'll get you two bags of good dried mushrooms, okay?"

Eating is just an excuse. The old man probably wants to restore the reputation of his team and keep this business.

Fu Biao looked at him and finally nodded.

It is not easy for farmers to make money throughout the year. He has already known this, so considering the other party's sincere attitude, it is not impossible to give him another chance.

The old village chief thanked them profusely, and together with several village cadres, he surrounded the young people and walked home.

The accountant who stayed behind to handle the follow-up stared at the two problematic sacks, feeling as if there was a fire burning in his heart.

The villagers around were all silent, because the bags for collecting mushrooms were distributed uniformly by the team, so it was really difficult to find out who the black sheep was now.

"Who did this? Who planted these mushrooms? Come out now and stop making things too ugly!"

......

Jiang Yu and Fu Biao had a delicious meal together, especially a delicious dish of stir-fried chicken mushrooms, which were fresh mushrooms that the village chief's daughter had picked in the mountains early in the morning.

She seemed to be the one cooking. When she entered the house carrying the steamed buns, she saw Jiang Yu eating mushrooms with several chopsticks in succession. She smiled in a good mood, then carefully retreated.

After dinner, the repackaged mushrooms were brought over. After Fu Biao checked them, he nodded and said, "Old Village Chief, in this kind of situation, we all get what we need, right? You need cash to do the work, so we take the opportunity to earn some money for the trip. It's good for you, me, and everyone else, but if there are substandard products mixed in, it won't be good for anyone, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. Hey, it's my fault that I didn't do my job well. Don't worry, this is the only time. This situation will never happen again, never." The old village chief was a little embarrassed. It was originally a good thing for him, but why are there always some things that are not presentable coming out to mess up? It's bad luck!

"Well, although it's a bit troublesome, I still need you to check everything first next time, so as to avoid this kind of situation from happening again and causing misunderstandings."

"You young people have so many ideas. This is indeed the way it should be done. We will definitely check it first next time." When the village chief heard that there would be a next time, a huge stone in his heart fell, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face, which had been a little sad just now.

After that, a few people talked about something else, but Jiang Yu didn't care. Her eyes were on the eaves of the other person's house.

The houses here seem to be like this, with high upturned eaves with graceful curves, stacked up in 3 layers, and each layer is thinner than the last, with the last layer being very long and slender.

She had never seen this style of eaves before. They looked like two long tentacles extending from the square house. They were both lively and interesting.

After finishing the discussion on the mushroom business, Fu Biao pushed Jiang Yu who was concentrating on the discussion, and the others, surrounded by village cadres, returned to the drying yard where the car was parked.

The accountant stood up quickly when he saw them coming back. Beside him were the huge bags of mushrooms. After Fu Biao had rechecked them, they were loaded into the car. Xiong Lijin took out the list, wrote down the weight and amount, and asked Murakami to sign it. However, he didn't need to give an extra copy to the seller. He was not stupid and would not give others a handle. He just needed to make the accounts clearer.

After paying, everyone got on the bus and headed towards the next destination.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Yu took out a pen and paper and began to draw the eaves she had just seen, with the three overlapping layers serving as the highlight. She was not afraid of forgetting it, but still wanted to deepen her memory as it might be useful in the future.

Seeing how serious she was, Xiong Lijin didn't disturb her. He felt a little sleepy after his meal, so he simply tilted his head back, leaned back on the seat and squinted his eyes.

Soon, the road began to bump up again. Jiang Yu put down the paper and pen in his hand and closed his eyes to rest.

Turning our attention back to the educated youth point, Zhang Ming, who had regained consciousness, was lying in the empty room, with hatred flourishing in the dim light.

He couldn't move. If he moved, his broken leg would hurt. When it hurt, he hated everyone. He hated the educated youth, the Z policy, his parents, and everyone else in the team.

It's all your fault!! He repeated it over and over in his mind.
