Chapter 174 I don't know this thing
Li silently put down the stick she had been holding. Her daughter acted too quickly and the person fell to the ground in the blink of an eye. She didn't even have time to attack her.
The three people on the ground looked at the three people who were leaving, stretched out their hands with despair on their faces, and for a moment they couldn't help but shed tears and snot.
Zhou Guo looked at where they were lying, frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Hey, you three, get out of the way, you are blocking my way, why don't you lie down somewhere else but in the middle of the road."
The three of them cried even louder. They didn't want to do that. At this moment, looking at Zhou Guo was like looking at a devil who killed people without blinking an eye. With such great power, it would be easy for her to beat them up. Looking at her cannibalistic look, they didn't know how to deal with them.
The three of them were so scared that they didn't even have the strength to crawl to the side.
Seeing this, Zhou Guo couldn't help but step forward, picked up one of them and threw him to the side of the road like a broken sack. The three were frightened and burst into tears, begging for mercy and saying that they would never do such a thing again.
Li turned her face away while crying.
Zhou Guo controlled the strength and threw them to the roadside one by one. It looked a bit scary. Even if these young men were thin, they weighed at least 80 or 90 kilograms. He lifted them up easily with one hand. Anyone who saw it would be scared.
The three of them were successfully frightened to death.
Zhou Guo clapped his hands in satisfaction, turned around and got into the car, "Let's go, Mom, we have to hurry, or the city gates will be closed if we delay any longer."
Li also got on the cart, pulled the reins, raised the whip, and the cart started moving again. Passing by a few unconscious people, she said worriedly: "Guoguo, these people are just fainted on the side of the road, are they okay?"
Zhou Guo glanced at the woods on the road ahead and snorted, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. There are mice watching in the dark."
The few people hiding in the dark were so frightened by this look that they quickly retracted their necks. One of them said, "Boss, listen, he called us inhuman."
The one being called the boss couldn't help but slap him in the face and cursed in a low voice: "I'm not deaf, do you want me to speak? Do you want me to be smart? Can we beat him?"
The rest of the journey went very smoothly, and Zhou Guo was no longer sleepy. Li checked her palm, which was much better than yesterday. "Go back and apply some more medicine. I think she will be fine in two days. The medicine prescribed by the doctor is really good. I thought it was too expensive at first, but it's a pity that I didn't buy two more bottles."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "The doctor only has these two bottles left. Even if you want to buy more, they are gone."
This was Zhou Guo's second time entering the county town. The two drove the ox cart to Caishi Street and found a location in an inconspicuous corner. It was a turning point and was not likely to attract attention, but fortunately the place was wide and could be parked.
Li was about to take all the sacks off the cart, but Zhou Guo stopped her and said, "Forget it, mother, just leave it as it is. It would be troublesome to move them here and there. Just sell them on the cart. They are in a high position and others can see them at a glance."
The two men opened the sacks, Zhou Guo took the basket, picked up a full basket of pine mushrooms, and placed it in the most conspicuous place on the ox cart, where everyone could see it at a glance, and piled it high.
She planned to try selling it first. If she couldn't sell it, she would try in a restaurant. If she really couldn't sell it, she would take it home and eat it herself. It's also good if it's dried.
The two of them stayed there for more than half an hour, but no one asked about the price. There were a few who glanced at them a few times, but they just looked at them a few times, and it was unclear whether they didn't know them or what.
Li frowned and said, "It seems that the people here don't know him. If they knew him, they would have come forward a long time ago. Look at those people selling pine mushrooms over there. Almost all the pine mushrooms in the basket are sold out. Aren't pine mushrooms tastier than pine mushrooms?"
Zhou Guo said patiently, "Mom, wait and see."
Li was puzzled, "What are you waiting for?"
Zhou Guo shook his head.
"Hey, second brother, look, there are pine mushrooms here. They look very good." A strange voice sounded from behind.
To Zhou Guo and the other man, it sounded like the sound of nature. Finally, someone who knew what was going on found it!
Turning around, she saw two men coming together. One was older, probably in his thirties, and the other was younger, about the same age as Zhou Dacang. They were pulling a carriage behind them. There were not many things piled on the carriage. She knew that the person she was waiting for might have arrived.
The two men walked up and picked up a pine mushroom. They were quite surprised to see that it was indeed a pine mushroom. One of them asked, "Boy, how do you sell this mushroom? Are they all the ones in the car? I didn't expect that this small county here would have this stuff. Where did you get it?"
Zhou Guo held out his hand and said, "Fifty cents a pound. These were collected by our whole family in the mountains for two days. We searched through several mountains to find this much."
Li almost choked on her own saliva and looked at her daughter in shock. Fifty cents for one pound, isn't this too much?
But what surprised her even more was that the other party actually wanted all of them.
"That's right. It's obvious that they just came out of the mountain not long ago. This thing won't be kept for long. Big brother, let's take them all, right? We've been sleeping in the open all the way. I haven't eaten good food for a long time. I only have dry food every day. We need to prepare more good things."
The other man frowned as he looked at the pine mushrooms in his hand. After hearing Zhou Guo's offer, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He shook the mushrooms in his hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these pine mushrooms were probably picked by you the day before yesterday. They were not well preserved. They are all bruised and will easily go bad if they are bruised. You still want 50 cents per pound? I'm afraid no one wants them. We should be the first batch of customers today, right?"
That's true. Zhou Guo smiled and said, "This is the retail price. If you buy more, it will be cheaper. How much do you two want?"
This is the border, and she didn't expect to be able to sell one pound for fifty cents.
"If I want more, how much cheaper can you give me?"
"Yes, yes, if we take over your stall, you have to lower the price."
Zhou Guo looked at the four sacks on the oxcart. They had been on display for such a long time but no one came to ask the price. It was obvious that no one in the local area knew them. If she kept displaying them like this until dark, no one would ask. She would probably have to take them back the same way she had brought them here. "If you all want them, it's 45 cents per pound, 5 cents less per pound."
"Thirty cents." The man held up three fingers.
"Thirty cents? Too little, too little won't do. My old man won't let me sell it. I might as well bring it back myself. Anyway, we have a big family and can eat a sack of it in one meal. This amount can be eaten in two days."
When the young man heard that they could eat a whole sack in one meal, he asked curiously, "You have so many family members? How do you cook a whole sack in one meal? Is it delicious?"
Zhou Guo smacked his lips with his hands, recalling the taste: "It's delicious, so delicious. Let me tell you, the pine mushrooms you picked can't get wet. Use a bamboo knife to scrape off the dirt and residue on them bit by bit, cut them into slices, put them in a pot and roast them, then drip badger oil along the edge of the pot. After the badger oil is stimulated, sprinkle a few grains of salt on the sizzling pine mushroom slices. The fragrance spreads throughout the village. I can eat half a basket by myself."
