Chapter 4
Near the Yunwu Mountains, the village closest to Lianghe Village is called Kuoshan Village.
Not far from Kaoshan Village, there is also a village called Xiaoshi Village and a village called Taiping Village.
These four villages, together with Qinghe Village, form the entire Qinghe Township.
Lin Ze drove a donkey cart to these villages and walked them all over.
Just like in Lianghe Village, the following mountain traveling with hermit disciples contacted them.
While trying to buy medicinal materials from them, they also sold the frosting they brought.
At the same time, they will also purchase Matsutake from them before leaving.
Of course, I didn’t receive the medicinal materials, but I collected a lot of Matsutake.
Thanks to Lin Ze's years of preparation, the entire transaction process went smoothly and there were no twists and turns.
By the time Lin Ze came out of Qinghe Village, all the twenty kilograms of rock candy brought by this trip were sold out.
The speed of the donkey cart traveled was extremely touching. Although I only went to five villages, it was already afternoon by this time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Although I didn't receive any precious medicinal materials in this wave, I've made a lot of money by bringing these matsutake back."
Lin Ze looked at the several sacks on his donkey cart, and his heart was filled with excitement.
He sold all the twenty kilograms of rock sugar he brought at a price of fifty cents and one taels. Putting aside the extra part he gave during the process of selling sugar, he made a total profit of 9,800 coins.
Calculated according to the rice price, these copper coins can buy a full 1,225 kilograms of rice, which is worth a full 2,450 yuan!
The daily income is more than 2,000 yuan, which is extremely rare in the main world. Only executives and high-tech talents in large companies can get such income.
And the one who gains even greater is Matsutake!
The several large sacks on the donkey cart were filled with matsutake, which was 557 kilograms.
Even if the minimum price per pound of matsutake is 1,000 yuan, the value of these matsutake is over 550,000 yuan.
The copper coins used to buy these matsutake mushrooms are paid for by selling rock sugar.
A total of 4,456 copper coins were spent, and 5,344 were left.
Rounding Matsutake is about to be a free gift, and the real price is less than nine pounds of rock candy.
The cost of 35 yuan was exchanged for this Matsutake mushroom worth more than 550,000 yuan.
If this is the case, Lin Ze's gross profit this time has exceeded 15,000 times.
"It's almost time to go back."
Lin Ze looked at the sky and made a decision.
Although it was still some time before dark, he still needed to rush back.
Although the Gate of Zhutians did not require Lin Ze to open at the prescribed location, he did not forget the character of his hermit disciple. He collected a lot of mushrooms, so he naturally had to send them back to the mountains to enjoy for the elders.
A copper coin is not heavy, only four or five grams, but these more than 5,000 copper coins are a bit worth, weighing about fifty kilograms.
In addition to the weight of the more than 500 kilograms of Matsutake, the frame and the weight of Lin Ze, the weight on the donkey cart has exceeded 900 kilograms.
In order to reduce the burden on the donkey, Lin Ze had already got off the car and walked.
At this moment, I started to return and drove into the clouds and misty mountains. I opened the gate of the heavens before dark and went home. The time was quite tight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dusk is approaching.
It is a forest next to the road about a few kilometers away from Lianghe Village.
Twelve young men with messy hair, covered with black cloth, holding a knife and bow were waiting bored.
"Brother, will that young master really take this path?"
One of the men looked at the strongest among the people and asked.
They were originally a bandit in the Yunwu Mountains, but someone reported that a young man named Lin Ze was alone in selling frosting and purchasing rare medicinal materials in Qinghe Township.
These days, bandits sometimes have no distinction between them and local villagers.
Both sides are related by blood, and sometimes even bandits who are hidden in their identities and guest appearances.
This is the origin of this group of bandits now. They have a close relationship with Qinghe Village.
According to estimates, this young master's income from selling sugar today is nearly 10,000 yuan.
In addition, since it is a purchase of rare medicinal materials, it must be carrying high-value goods such as silver or even gold.
Even if I guessed wrongly, the other party was just here to inquire about the situation this time and didn't bring too much money.
Just the other party’s income from selling candy today and the valuable Jinyi on his body is worth their efforts.
One thousand cents are a one-day money, and you can exchange for one tael of silver.
The money on this young master is worth at least fifty or sixty taels.
If they can succeed, even if they scored twelve people, it would be a considerable income.
The eldest brother takes the big head, and they can get the equivalent of hundreds of kilograms of rice and grain, and it’s no problem to eat and drink delicious food.
Although this young master is said to be a disciple of the hermit master, at the age of not as strong as the one who is weak, even if he has some martial arts, he is definitely not the opponent of their twelve elites.
It can be said that as long as they can make up for this young master, they will be able to win this deal.
What I’m afraid of is that the young master will not take this path at all.
"That young master was seen coming out of this road this morning, and this is the place he must pass when he returns to the mountain."
"Besides, an hour ago, someone saw him coming here with his own eyes, and just wait patiently."
"Take him down and plunder the money. Brother, please go to the widow's house to drink and have fun tonight."
The eldest brother in the lead answered calmly.
After hearing what my elder brother said, the other bandits around him were much more stable at this time.
"Brother, will you just rob money in a while, or..."
Someone spoke again, and while talking, he made a throat-cutting action.
“Just do it right…”
The elder brother replied with a throat-cutting gesture.
According to common sense, if they only rob money and do not harm their lives, it will be difficult for them to alarm the government.
But this time the target is the disciple of the hermit master. If the news leaks out and is chased by the master, he will be unable to escape.
So, I will kill people once and for all, destroy the corpse and traces.
Even if this young master is very skilled in martial arts, he will not be able to find anyone who attacks it.
"At that time, the arrows will be shot directly, and if you don't die, you will be seriously injured."
Another bandit spoke.
The eldest brother nodded slightly and agreed with this opinion.
Then, everyone stopped talking and began to wait silently.
As time passes by minute by minute, the sky gradually becomes gloomy.
Soon, the expressions of the bandits became excited, and they heard the sound of the wheels turning.
The twelve people looked in the direction where the sound came, and they found a young man in black brocade clothes walking in this direction with a donkey cart.
Everyone looked at each other without saying much.
They all slowly got up, hid in the forest and took a bow and arrow.
Just as his eyes entered the range, he shot arrows and took them down.
