The next morning, Lin Meng dragged the two elders to the village committee's reception room before they had breakfast.
The broadcast here was usually used to call people and inform them of news. As long as they were in the village, they could use it.
Before Lin Meng could speak into the microphone, Mother Lin pulled his arm and said with a pained expression,""Little Meng, are you really going to collect those rotten vegetables? Can't our own people pick it? How much money would that save?"
Seeing his mother's distressed expression, Lin Meng found it funny."Mom, that's not called rotten vegetable leaves. It's called wild vegetables. Besides, how much can our family pick in a day? I only have three days off. I have to go back to school when the time comes. I don't have time to waste here.”
"Besides, although it's a little expensive to let the villagers pick it, there's strength in numbers. It can save a lot of time.”
After comforting his mother, Lin Meng was afraid that she would continue to worry. He cleared his throat and began to speak into the microphone.
"Good morning to the villagers of Reliance Village. Here, I have good news for everyone. From now on, as long as you send the rotten wild vegetables to the pond in the Lin family's big bay, you can exchange them for money. The price was 10 cents per catty.”
Then, Lin Meng repeated this sentence three more times.
Lin Meng's parents looked at him helplessly.
It was too late for them to regret.
The two of them couldn't understand. Could this be the way to earn money that Lin Meng was talking about?
Using the money he had painstakingly saved to exchange for a pile of rotten vegetable leaves that even pigs did not like to eat?
Even a prodigal wouldn't have such a stupid way to spend money, right?
After hanging up the phone, Lin Meng felt helpless when he saw his parents 'distressed expressions.
He knew that this method of earning money was quite mysterious, but he couldn't possibly tell the two of them that he knew about the future development trajectory from more than ten years later.
Lin Meng's plan for his first pot of gold was actually quite simple.
In 2005, China entered a period of rapid economic development.
Most of the people in the city had become rich, and they valued their living standards more.
Everyone no longer liked to eat big fish and meat. Instead, they liked the natural wild vegetables in the mountains.
At this time, the Internet had not yet developed, and few people knew the market demand. The merchants did not have much wild vegetables in their hands. As long as they transported the wild vegetables from the mountains to the agricultural market, they could make a fortune. This was also the reason why Lin Meng was in a hurry to go home.
After a while, everyone would know that wild vegetables were valuable, and basically no one would sell them to others.
After he was done, Lin Meng pulled his mother's hand and left the reception room. They walked in the direction of home."Alright, Mom, don't look so sad. Since you've handed the money to me, I guarantee that I'll definitely be able to earn money. After today, you can just wait to count the money.”
Mother Lin felt a little more confident when she heard her son's confidence. She smiled and said,"Child, you always like to say nice things.”
"By the way, Little Meng, your hairstyle is quite unique. Why do I feel that you've become more handsome again?”
"That's right. He can earn money. How can he not be handsome?”
"Ha! He didn't earn money, but he practiced his tone first.”
Along the way, the mother and son, who had a good relationship, joked with each other. Father Lin smoked a water pipe and followed behind with a smile. It was calm and warm.
Not to mention the harmonious family, the villagers of Reliance Village suddenly became lively after Lin Meng's megaphone.
"Rotten wild vegetables cost 10 cents per catty. Did I hear wrongly?”
"Whose child is this? Have you become stupid with so much money?"
"It seems to be Elder Lin's (Lin Meng's father). Didn't his son just come back?”
"Let's go and take a look. If it's true, then let's go and pick up the money.”No wonder the villagers were so shocked.
The outside world didn't know, but in Reliance Village, wild vegetables were really something that even pigs wouldn't eat.
They were all over the mountains and plains. A person could easily get a few hundred catties a day. Just as they said, it was no different from picking up money.
The price of pork was only three to four RMB per catty, and most people in Reliance Village were still reluctant to eat pork.
But now, if a family of three picked wild vegetables for a day, they could earn sixty to seventy yuan. Compared to their daily income of less than twenty yuan, one could imagine how excited the villagers were.
When Lin Meng returned home, the villagers arrived quickly. In a short while, they had completely blocked the Lin family's dilapidated courtyard. They even lined up outside.
Before Lin Meng could say anything, hundreds of people started to shout.
"The words in the reception room just now were said by your family, right? Rotten wild vegetables are a dime per catty?" "I picked some along the way. Do you want them now?”
"Your family has a university student, and it's a key university. You shouldn't lie to the villagers, right?”
The villagers were noisy, all asking questions about the wild vegetables. There were also a few smart ones who used words to block the way out, afraid that Lin Meng and his family would go back on their word.
Seeing the undisciplined villagers with greedy eyes, Lin Meng sneered in his heart.
There was a reason why these people were poor all their lives.
"We're all from the same village, so there's no need for me to lie to everyone.”As he spoke, Lin Meng pointed at the person holding a basket of wild vegetables."Uncle Shell, bring your box of rotten wild vegetables over and weigh them. I'll pay you after weighing them.”
The villager called Uncle Shell was stunned by Lin Meng's straightforwardness.
However, when he thought that all of this was money, he immediately went forward happily and handed the box to Lin Meng."A child who has gone to university speaks differently. He will definitely have a future.”
Of course, although Uncle Shell said it nicely, it was not certain if he really thought so.
At the same time, a large group of villagers stared at Lin Meng, waiting to see if he would really pay.
Lin Meng looked at the number on the scale.”Then he turned to Mama Lin and said,"Mom, pay Uncle Shell."”
"Here, this is for you." Hearing her son's words, Mother Lin reluctantly handed the money to him.
Good money turned into rotten vegetables and leaves. His heart ached!
"Can…can it really be exchanged for money?" Uncle Shell looked at the money in his hand and was dumbfounded.
Needless to say, the other villagers had already given him money. How could it be fake?
As they mocked the fool's family, they did not even stop. The villagers all ran up the mountain, afraid that if they were one step slower, the wild vegetables would be picked up.
With money as a motivation, the villagers went crazy and picked the fruits. Before noon, they had sent over more than 20,000 catties.
At this moment, the delivery truck that Lin Meng had rented arrived.
Lin Meng glanced at his mother, who was sweating profusely, and said apologetically,"Mom, thank you for your hard work here. Dad and I have gone to the provincial capital to sell the goods.”
Mother Lin had read some books and knew some arithmetic. She was quite happy that she could help her son now. She waved her hand without raising her head and said,"Go on, go on. Be careful on the road. I'll help you complete the acquisition mission you gave me.”
Lin Meng nodded and didn't say anything else. He brought Papa Lin into the car.
He couldn't handle all this by himself. Besides, he hadn't gotten his driver's license after his rebirth, so he could only ask Papa Lin to drive him there.
When Papa Lin was young, he used to drive a big truck in the production team. It was not difficult for him to drive a truck.
As for the truck, it was rented. It cost 300 yuan for a round trip.
Along the way, although they were father and son, Father Lin was a quiet person. Lin Meng exchanged a few words with him, but seeing that Father Lin was unwilling to talk more, he could only give up.
After a bumpy journey of two hours, the two of them arrived at the farmer's market in the eastern suburbs of the provincial capital.
This was Lin Meng's decision after careful consideration.
There was no other reason than the large volume of goods here. The vegetable vendors in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Dongguang, and Shanghai all liked to pull goods back from here to sell. Big bosses were everywhere, and they were not afraid that they would not be able to sell 20,000 catties of wild vegetables.
Pan Donkey and Deng Xiaoxian, if you want to poach someone, money is indispensable, so the protagonist must earn the first bucket of gold. But don't worry, this isn't a long story. In the future, the protagonist's hunting ground will basically be in the university. Please watch patiently.
