In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, there is more rain.

But when it doesn't rain, it's even hotter.

It's a sunny day today with no clouds in the sky.

Chen Ling and the others were walking on the road, with the small car in front and the large car behind.

Chen Ling and Wang Qingwen were sitting on the Zhaohai Car.

Wang Jusheng and his brother-in-law were sitting on the little sheep transport truck.

Zhao Dahai's car was also full.

It was something Wang Susu brought to Zhao Dahai, the two sisters-in-law of the Shanmao family.

In addition, there are naturally some for Liang Yuemin's family.

For example, when I was picking mushrooms in the mountains yesterday, I picked some wild sweet potatoes, which were part of them.

This melon has a very strong fruity aroma.

‘On June 6th, the sweet potatoes are ripe. In July and a half, the sweet potatoes are rotten.’

At this time, wild sweet potatoes taste just right.

Zhao Dahai sniffed while driving the car: "This thing smells so good, sweet and fragrant. It smells better than pineapple in the car."

"That's right, this thing has another name, it's called Mandixiang."

Chen Ling was sitting in the back row, reached out and grabbed a few, and gave them to Zhao Dahai and his uncle to share.

Although this wild fruit is called wild sweet potato, it is actually not as big as a sweet potato.

Brownish-red, oval-shaped, about the size of the belly of your thumb.

Just take it here and eat it fresh.

"Yeah, there are so many good things here. The mountains are like treasures. They have everything."

Zhao Dahai held the steering wheel with one hand and stuffed the fruit into his mouth.

"Fugui, do you think that if all these roads are repaired, would there be a chance to sell out these good things?"

"Can I be sure of this? If you want to order takeout, you have to see if anyone buys it."

Chen Ling himself had thought about this for a long time, but later he discovered that some wild fruits and the like did not really come out of the mountains until e-commerce developed in later generations.

At that time, everything was sold online.

It’s not possible now. People from the east, west, north and south don’t understand each other about many foods, fruits and vegetables.

So there are some things that are okay to brag about.

If you really have to do it, it's not something you can just slap your head on.

certainly.

Chen Ling obviously thought too far.

Zhao Dahai was very quick-thinking and just said: "Then let's pick up what can be sold and take it out first. My dad and Uncle Zhong can save money to buy sheep by looking for cicada shells. How many treasures are there waiting in the mountains?"

If we develop it, it will solve the traffic problem and it will become a huge natural treasure house."

He and the Bobcats are not short of money.

I'm not willing to put in the effort to do any business.

He mentioned this because he had seen so many good things in the mountains since he met Chen Ling.

Mushrooms, aquatic products, herbs, countless good things.

How much can the mountain people who live in the mountains digest by themselves?

The rest is wasted.

What a pity.

"Yes, Dahai is right. Even ordinary mountain products can make money. Last time Lingzi saw an acquaintance going to the village to collect eggs to sell. They paid him the price and transported them to the city, which doubled his profit.

…”

It was the first time for my uncle to go on a long trip. At first, he sat in the passenger seat and watched the scenery along the way without saying a word.

Hearing Zhao Dahai's words, he turned around and said, "These are common things. There are also wild chestnuts, walnuts, and persimmons picked from the mountains and dried in the sun. There are so many.

By the end of the year, these things will be sold well.

New Year's goods.

My brother and his gang used to harvest at the end of autumn every year and keep it until almost the twelfth lunar month to sell.

It's the same as selling food, you can make a little difference."

"Oh, Brother Qingwen understands this too."

As soon as Zhao Dahai heard this, he became interested and started chatting with Wang Qingwen.

Chen Ling also had a few chats with each other.

I was bragging all the way, but it didn’t feel like the journey was long.

But after all, we are traveling in summer. Even if we bring enough water, when we pass through some counties, small towns, or even clear streams, we still can’t help but stop the car to buy some popsicles or drink some cool stream water to relieve the heat.

.

It's only a day's journey by car from the county seat to the city.

We set off around 7 a.m. and arrived around 11 or 12 p.m.

It sounds like we can get there on the same day, it doesn't seem like it's that far away.

In fact, in this amount of time, if you take the expressway, you can go back and forth from Bei'an to Hohe Hao'an in Inner Mongolia twice.

Two back and forth.

It can be seen that the road here is difficult and painful for them to walk.

Going up and down, there are constant bumps and detours everywhere.

However, in this day and age, this situation is too common, and everyone is accustomed to walking frequently.

It was Wang Qingwen's butt that suffered.

It was numb and painful, and I couldn't even walk when I went to the city late at night.

Wang Jusheng and his brother-in-law on the cart were also similar.

His brother-in-law also suffered from motion sickness on the road, and he felt sleepy and uncomfortable after getting off the car.

I am no longer as energetic as I was in the village.

"Is this our city? Where is the statue of the sacred cow? Why don't you see it?"

Wang Qingwen rubbed his buttocks and stretched his neck to look around near the stone lion in front of the market.

"Brother, this is a vegetable market, and we are here to sell vegetables. The sacred cow statue is in the large square near the river beach. It is used to suppress flooding, not to protect the vegetable market."

When Chen Ling saw his usually serious uncle showing such a funny look, he was both amused and speechless at the same time.

Quickly pull him away from the stone lion in front of the market gate.

In the dark at night, people will defecate anywhere near the lions, which can easily cause trouble.

"The morning market doesn't start to be crowded until two or three o'clock. Now let's find a place to sleep for a while. After the food is sold out, we can go home to catch up on some sleep."

Chen Ling pointed not far away. There were people sleeping soundly with things spread out beside many vegetable transport trucks.

Little Sheep and Wang Jusheng now took off the canvas cover of the transport truck to let the vegetables breathe, and then took down some urea bags, mats and other things for everyone to spread on the ground.

In the summer, I don’t have to pay so much attention. I just spread out on the floor and go to sleep directly.

The little sheep is used to this kind of schedule and is not sleepy.

He and Chen Ling, who was equally energetic, were chatting by the car, waiting for the market to open.

During this period, vehicles of all sizes were still coming one after another, some carrying various goods, and some empty for wholesale purchases.

Not far away, some distance from the vegetable market in the old city, is a livestock market.

It is extremely convenient to provide raw meat to the vegetable market.

It was also full of vehicles at this time.

However, the livestock market opens late and there are no people there until five or six in the morning.

Now it's all dark like a vegetable market. Some people are gathered together chatting quietly, some are standing guard by the cars, sleeping and resting in the back of the cars, and some are wandering around with their hands behind their backs, looking here and there, looking here and there, and looking closer at some goods.

.

The three of them, Wang Qingwen, couldn't sleep. In such a large vegetable market, there were so many vehicles coming and going. From time to time, the strong light of the headlights would shine through, and then they would stop aside and extinguish the light, waiting as hard as they did.

After watching it, I felt a little fresh and indescribably excited.
