Chapter 154: Goods are not good
Bai Jingzhou walked to Gu Wenxuan's side and stood still. "Did they go to Xiaofu to get information? No wonder they just kept asking how much our chestnuts and walnuts sold for per pound, and didn't know anything else."
Only a very young child like Xiaofu would be caught off guard and get some information.
If it had been anyone else among them, it would not have been so easy for these villagers to succeed, and even if they succeeded, they would not have been able to extract just this little information.
Bai Jingzhou frowned and looked at everyone, "Whoever does things so unrefinedly, please stand up one by one."
No one moved.
Bai Jingzhou sneered, "Then everyone can go back to where you came from. You can sell the mountain products to whoever you want, and we won't get involved."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became anxious. Some of them were outspoken and directly pointed out the villagers who had blocked Xiaofu's way of expounding on them.
Those villagers were so angry, they did the bad things and these guys not only took advantage of them, but now they sold them out without hesitation, what stupid teammates!
However, the others didn't care what they thought at this moment. In order to get Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan to help, the others didn't mind letting these villagers who bullied the children bear the wrath of Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan.
Gu Wenxuan didn't do anything to these people. She just said calmly, "Go and apologize to Xiaofu. If you do this, I can pretend that nothing happened. If you don't want to, don't come to me and Jingzhou for help no matter what happens in the future."
No matter the world they live in now, or the apocalypse of natural disasters they lived in before, "picking on the weak" is the bad nature of some people that is ingrained in their bones. If you tolerate such people again and again, always thinking that less trouble is worse than more, then they will definitely bully you severely, and step by step make you realize what it means to be unreasonably demanding.
Those villagers actually didn't take it seriously. They thought Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou were just making a fuss out of nothing. They thought they were just trying to get some words out of a little girl and it wasn't a big deal at all.
But who made them want to benefit from Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou?
When someone is strangling them, how can they dare to show it on their face even if they have different opinions in their hearts?
A few people looked at each other, and after a brief hesitation, they finally went to Fang's house.
Gu Wenxuan "kindly" reminded, "Xiaofu is at my house now."
Those people paused for a moment and secretly groaned in their hearts.
With the Gu family watching, if they were to be perfunctory or even sarcastic, then their reputation today would be lost in vain.
After weighing the pros and cons in their minds, they gritted their teeth and decided to go and apologize to Xiaofu honestly.
Gu Wenxuan calmed down, and Bai Jingzhou put on a gentle expression again, "Everyone can go home to get mountain products now. Wenxuan and I will go to the threshing ground to wait for everyone."
When everyone heard this, they hurried back with their families to get the various mountain products they had stored.
Gu Wenxuan asked Bai Jingzhou, "Are you going to help with the matchmaking?"
Bai Jingzhou nodded, "Only if they can produce goods of good quality."
Gu Wenxuan was not optimistic about this, "Nine out of ten times, it's a mixture of good and bad."
It's not that the villagers did so on purpose, but everyone was used to living a hard life, so anything that could be looted from the mountain, no matter how big or small, or what kind, they would definitely loot it without leaving out any.
If they kept all these things for themselves, Gu Wenxuan would praise them for "knowing how to live". But if they wanted to sell these things, Gu Wenxuan could only comment with regret that "the quality is average".
As expected, the fruits, nuts, fungus, mushrooms, etc. that everyone brought were, without exception, all mixed in size and of varying qualities.
Sour and sweet, big and small, smooth and scarred... There are even several shops that simply don't sort the mushrooms by species, as long as they are edible, they are all mixed together and dried in the sun.
In addition, unlike Gu Wenxuan and others, they cleaned all the mushrooms before drying them. Many people's mushroom roots still had rotten leaves and soil on them...
Bai Jingzhou looked at all the mountain products that the villagers brought to the threshing ground without saying a word, and then, under the expectant gaze of everyone, asked Bai Jingshan to go to his house to get a basket of mountain products for them to take back to the village.
He displayed the inferior mountain products that they had saved for their own consumption. "These are the inferior products we picked out. They can't be sold at a high price, so we took them home to eat. The ones we sold for a good price are bigger than the ones you see, and their taste and appearance are better than the ones you see."
After showing his own products, he gestured to everyone to look at what they had brought. "These are of different sizes and flavors. Some are damaged and dirty. It is impossible to sell such a mixture of good and bad mountain products at a high price."
The villagers were greatly disappointed when they heard this. Some of them did not believe Bai Jingzhou and thought he was deliberately shirking his responsibility and did not want to help.
One of them said, "Aren't all mountain products like this?"
Bai Jingzhou glanced at him and said, "It's not like that in my family."
He gestured to everyone to look at the inferior goods they had picked out. "These are the ones we didn't sell. They are inferior goods. Whatever we sell, we have carefully selected them from all aspects."
He picked out nuts of suitable size and appearance from several baskets in his uncle's house. "Not to mention the taste, the nuts we sell at a high price must be at least this big, and the skin must not have any signs of damage without exception."
"The same goes for mushrooms and fungus. We carefully select them, clean them thoroughly, and then dry them before selling them."
They have a kind of small white mushroom here, which has the best texture and taste. All they sell are of this kind. The remaining less valuable varieties were kept by Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou for themselves.
Fang Youfu, who rushed to the threshing ground with the people who went to apologize, testified for Bai Jingzhou, "We only picked the best ones to send. Otherwise, do you think the owner of the shop is a fool? Would rather lose money than give us a high price?"
Bai Lizheng believed in Bai Jingzhou's character. When he heard Fang Youfu say this, he immediately nodded in agreement, "That's right, those who can do big business will definitely not do business at a loss."
After a pause, he continued, "As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. The two people in my family have also acted as a matchmaker for you. You know what price the mountain goods shop gave you."
