Chapter 248: Accidentally buying ganoderma

Hearing that Gu Chen had brought so many things, Qiao Hua on the other end of the phone was a little speechless.

'Boss, you don't need a marriage certificate, and you don't need a household register either, but you have to think of a name for the company, and you have to approve the name first.'

Gu Chen frowned, thinking for a moment, and the light in his eyes suddenly brightened.

'Let's call it Fengshou Trading,' he said.

Whether it's buying grain or selling medicine, the most important thing is a good harvest. As long as the harvest is good, there's no need to worry about not making money!

Fengshou, that's a great name.

It's simple and memorable, and it has a lucky meaning, perfect!

He nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but admire his own naming skills.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Hua on the phone nodded.

'Okay, boss, just give me an hour. I still have some goods to sell, and I'll be done soon. I'll come find you after I'm done.'

He owed this boss Gu 200 yuan, and it cost 150 yuan to apply for a business license.

That meant he still owed him 50 yuan.

That was a lot of money, and Gu felt happy just thinking about it.

'I'll come find you. Just give me your address, and we'll meet up and talk!' Gu Chen said simply.

'Okay boss, I'll send it to your phone.'

Within two minutes of hanging up, Qiao Hua had edited the text message and sent it to Gu Chen.

In front of them was the largest vegetable market in Huang County.

Gu Chen thought about it for a moment, and since Qiao Hua still had an hour, he might as well spend half an hour buying groceries first, because the more you do, the less you have to do!

When they arrived at the market, he parked the car on the side of the road and walked towards the market.

The market was large and relatively well-organised, with neat stalls.

It was neither early nor late.

The sun was still high in the sky, and the air was suffused with a sultry heat.

There weren't many people shopping in the market.

Even the small vendors looked a little listless.

Gu Chen walked around with his arms folded.

Today's mangoes looked good, as did the bananas and apples.

After buying the fruit, he walked towards the back of the market.

He was going to buy two fish, as Ji Pianran and Tang Tang both loved fish.

He picked out two large carp, looked at the time, and it was almost time to go.

Then he saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the concrete floor in the corner.

She had very dark skin, her hair was messy and stuck back, she was wearing a green linen dress with flowers, linen trousers and a pair of cloth shoes.

This attire made her look like a proper villager.

The point was that in front of the woman was a black rag with soil on it, with stones of different sizes weighing down the four corners.

In the middle was something dark brown, the colour of which was a bit like that of a stone.

From a distance, it looked a bit like dried mushrooms.

Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched

Huh?

Dried mushrooms?

This stuff tastes really good.

When he was little, he would go mushroom picking with his mother and brother, and then dry them at home. In winter, when there were no vegetables, he would put a little bit of them on the noodles.

Dried mushrooms are chewy and get more and more fragrant the longer you eat them.

He still remembers the fragrance.

Every time, he would secretly take two more bites from his brother's bowl before giving up.

He walked over and said to the middle-aged woman, 'Excuse me, how much are the dried mushrooms?'

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman sitting on the ground sighed, and her face became even more despondent.

She looked up at Gu Chen, her tone of voice hopeless.

'You also think that this is dried mushrooms?'

Today, this is already the 30th person to say that it is dried mushrooms!

But she really doesn't have dried mushrooms!

It's reishi!

Wild!

She went to the back mountain last night and dug all night, before gathering so much.

Unexpectedly, the heads were too small, and everyone thought they were dried mushrooms!

Once they heard that they were reishi mushrooms, everyone ran off, and none of them would buy them.

Gu Chen was stunned when she said this.

He blinked, his expression a little surprised.

Not dried mushrooms?

If these aren't dried mushrooms, what are they?

Seeing Gu Chen's face of curiosity, the middle-aged woman said helplessly, 'These are reishi mushrooms, and I dug them up all night. They're not dried mushrooms.'

Her son is getting married, and the girl wants a bride price. She won't marry him for anything less than 30,000 yuan.

Over the past ten years, the family has saved a total of only 20,000 yuan.

30,000 yuan is really a sky-high bride price.

To be honest, he doesn't like that girl. She's picky about everything when eating, can't even wash a bowl, and still wants such a high bride price.

But his son fell for that girl at first sight, so there's nothing he can do. He can only go to the mountains every night to see if he can dig something, and sell whatever he digs.

Fortunately, his son is still young and hasn't graduated yet, so he can save money for another two years.

If he hasn't saved enough by then, it's up to him. She's done all she can.

Gu Chen laughed. 'Your ganoderma lucidum is really small.'

She's not wrong. This ganoderma lucidum hasn't grown up yet. It's only this small and has already been dug up. At the places that sell ganoderma lucidum, the mushrooms are bigger than your hand. No wonder she can't sell this one.

The middle-aged woman sighed.

'It's small, but it's wild, so it's definitely different from cultivated ones. Besides, I'm selling it cheaply. If you want it, I'll give you the whole pile for 50 yuan. What do you think?'

The ganoderma lucidum was small, but there were quite a few of them.

There must be at least two catties, dozens of them altogether.

No normal person would buy it, even if it was cheap. After all, the small ones wouldn't have the same medicinal effect as the larger ones. If they didn't have the same effect, what was the point of buying them?

It would just be a waste of money.

But Gu Chen is different. He is a man with room.

Buying it back is equivalent to buying seeds.

And 2.5 jin is indeed cheap.

You have to know that wild ganoderma lucidum, the larger the one, can sell for more than 100 yuan.

In short, the larger the head, the more valuable it is. For example, a thousand-year-old ganoderma lucidum, one can cost 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.

Why does Gu Chen know this?

Because in his previous life, when his mother's health was not good, the doctor said that he had to take ganoderma lucidum spore powder.

When he sold medicine, the pharmacist told him that what he bought was artificially cultivated, and it cost 600 yuan per catty.

If it was wild and aged, it would be common for it to cost 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per catty.

But at that time, a catty was 2,020 yuan.

Now, it definitely isn't that expensive, but it can definitely sell for 800 to 900 yuan.

When you do the math, this stuff is still quite valuable.

Just take it back and grow it in space for a while, and the ones that come out will definitely be high-quality, and the price will double!

Thinking about this, Gu Chen took out 50 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the key woman.

'Sister, I'll take all of these.'

Originally, the woman had just asked out of curiosity, after all, she had been selling these for a day and no one had wanted them.

She didn't expect Gu Chen to pay the price without even bargaining.

She was so excited that she jumped to her feet, reached into her pocket and pulled out a plastic bag, into which she put all the ganoderma.

Who cares, just take what you can get!

She handed the bag to Gu Chen, her face full of excitement.

'Big brother, to be honest with you, there are still quite a lot of ganoderma like this in the mountains. When I came back this morning, I saw at least ten catties left. Do you want it? If you do, tomorrow, at this same place, I'll give you a discount, what do you say?'
