Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Aunt, please wait a moment."

Lin Shu stopped opening the door and turned to look at Gu Youhui who had followed him up to the second floor. "What's wrong? Is business good this afternoon?"

Gu Youhui scratched his head and replied with a proud look on his face: "Business is good. I sold three bundles of sugarcane this afternoon. Here, this is the cost of three bundles of sugarcane."

As he said this, he took out the fifteen dollars he had prepared earlier from his pocket and handed it to her.

Lin Shu took the money and praised happily: "Not bad, I made almost 40 yuan today. It is much more promising than being an apprentice in a factory. One day is equivalent to a month's work for others."

Gu Youhui's eyebrows lit up, as if he was talking to Lin Shu, and also as if to encourage himself, "Well, it's good. I will work hard to sell sugarcane in the future, and strive to make some money for the New Year this year."

Lin Shu was very happy to see the boy's enthusiasm. If he could sell the pile of sugarcane this year, making money would be a sure thing.

But considering that his mind is not yet stable, I have to remind him: "After you make money, don't spend it recklessly. I think when you make money, the most necessary thing is to change your equipment. That is, change your bicycle to a tricycle, so that it will be more convenient for you to set up a stall and transport goods."

"Change equipment?"

Gu Youhui's heart was shocked. If Lin Shu hadn't reminded him, he really hadn't thought about changing the tricycle.

Sure enough, sometimes the opinions of elders can cause the younger generation to take many detours.

Lin Shu smiled and nodded: "Well, if you don't want to set up a stall, you can also use the money you earn to rent a storefront and open a fruit store. However, for now, I think you should take advantage of the two months before the New Year to make some quick money. Wait until next year to open a store. At least, you have to find a source of fruit before opening a store."

If you have a supply channel, you can open a fruit wholesale department in the provincial capital.

In this day and age, as long as you have connections, you don’t have to worry about not making money.

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll listen to you, little aunt." After hearing her words, Gu Youhui felt that he now had a huge sum of money in his pocket, and he was filled with pride.

"Be good, as long as you stand on your own feet with the money you earn with your own hands, when people ask you how you made your fortune in the future, you can proudly tell them that you started from scratch. How awesome!" Lin Shu continued to paint a rosy picture for him.

This time the pie was too big, and Gu Youhui could only stroke his hair and smile foolishly.

The next day, Lin Shu got up early. When she went downstairs for breakfast, she learned that Gu Youhui had already finished his breakfast and left.

Even my mother-in-law Wang Suzhen and my eldest sister-in-law He Chunru felt that this was the first time in history.

He Chunru: "I don't know what good news this kid has today. He just ate his breakfast without a second thought and left the house impatiently after leaving his bowl."

Wang Suzhen turned around and asked Lin Shu: "Shushu, do you know where that boy went?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing anyway. You will know when the time comes."

He Chunru coaxed: "Sister-in-law, if you know something, just tell us a little bit, so that we won't always be worried about him."

"Let him tell you about this himself. I won't interfere." Lin Shu refused to answer.

What a joke! Such a meaningful thing for growth should be announced by the teenager himself.

Wang Suzhen and He Chunru looked at each other, and their curiosity was successfully piqued. But Lin Shu didn't help them solve the mystery, which made them want to uncover the mystery.

After breakfast, Lin Shu told her mother-in-law that she would not go home for lunch and would go home in the afternoon. Then she rode her bicycle out of the compound.

First, she went to the yard where the sugarcane was stored and wholesaled a lot of towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and facial cream from the system mall. She packed them in snakeskin bags, carried them out of the yard and tied them to the back seat of the bicycle.

Then, he rode his bike to the post office and mailed the bag of goods out.

Relying solely on the system mall to purchase goods is not a long-term solution. If she is the only one in charge of the store, it will not have much impact. To send out this batch of goods, she must find time to go to the provincial capital to find the manufacturer as soon as possible, and then place an order and have the manufacturer ship it to the city by train.

When it comes to freight transportation, trains can only transport goods to the city. If you want to transport them back to the county, you need a truck.

If I could open a grocery store in the city and engage in wholesale and retail, it would be very profitable and would also greatly facilitate receiving goods from the train station.

After leaving the post office, Lin Shu stopped by a state-owned restaurant, bought some steamed buns and soy milk, put them in the system storage compartment, and then rode out of the city.

This time our destination is the mountains outside the city.

[System, are you sure you don't want to accept animals? ]

Lin Shu went into the mountains alone. She was not familiar with this area and was afraid of encountering wild boars. In addition, she was pregnant and was afraid that she would not be able to escape.

[Replying to the host, this is a herb collection system, not an animal and plant collection system. ]

[Okay, when we get up the mountain, help me observe the surroundings and warn me in time if there is any danger.]

[I know the host. 】

Now the system has added a powerful media collection function. By storing the bicycle in the system, you can basically see all the herbs along the way.

Some only need the rhizome, some need the fruit, and some only need the stem...

Of course, with such a powerful function, Lin Shu would not collect all of them along the way. He would only collect selectively, collecting the big ones and leaving the small ones, allowing them to continue growing.

Lin Shu saw a thorny tree whose leaves had begun to turn yellow and many bean pods hung on the branches.

If she remembered correctly, she remembered that when she was a child, Lin Dashan liked to chop this kind of tree and catch the insects in the middle of the tree trunk for them to eat.

[System, what is the scientific name of this tree? Does it have medicinal value? ]

[Reply to the host, this is the cloud fruit tree, also known as the bird-proof tree. Both its roots and fruits can be used as medicine. In the ancient poem, "The mountain is full of clouds and there are no birds, and the sound of water along the stream can be heard by the sound of a reed pipe", it is referring to the cloud fruit tree.]

After listening to the introduction of the system, Lin Shu touched the Yunshi tree, and the pods and roots on the tree entered the system.

Looking at the remaining tree trunks, Lin Shu asked again: [System, are there any bugs in these tree trunks? Where are they exactly? ]

The system showed her a diagram showing where the bugs were on the tree trunks.

Lin Shu's eyes lit up. He didn't expect the system's schematic diagram to be as convenient as a projection. He took out a hatchet and gloves from the storage compartment and started chopping the tree trunk.

The branches of the cloud tree are hollow, and a kind of insect is likely to grow inside. It is said that one of these white insects can be exchanged for a bushel of rice, so it is also called the rice bushel.

It also has another nickname: longhorn beetle larva.

Rice weeds have high edible and medicinal value, and have the effect of nourishing and eliminating malnutrition.

This insect can live in the tree trunk for up to 22 months, so it can be found almost all year round.

When the tree trunk was split open, white bugs were still wriggling. The girl who was timid about bugs didn't dare to catch them with her hands.

Lin Shu has been doing farm work at home since he was a child, so he is not afraid of these harmless insects.

Put the chopped rice weevils into a glass bottle and continue chopping.

With the cheating tool of the system, five rice weevils were caught on this tree.

Continue looking for the cloud fruit tree.

I harvested from nearly ten cloud fruit trees and collected more than twenty rice weevils, filling half a glass bottle.

[System, where is the Yunshi tree? ]

[Host, are you competing with Yunshi Tree today? ]

[I mainly like this rice bug. You know it's a good thing. Fried in oil, it can be eaten by adults and children.]

[Host, there are several vines three meters in front of you, called ginseng yam, also known as purple yam.]

Ginseng and potato are sweet, astringent and flat in nature, and have the effects of strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, benefiting the lungs and nourishing the kidneys.

Three meters away?

Lin Shu followed the system's instructions and walked over. [System, is this the plant that looks a bit like a sweet potato vine?]

[Yes, this rhizome is purple. ]

Lin Shu now has the media collection function, so he is not afraid of collecting roots or fruits, they are all very powerful. Just touch the plant lightly and you can collect the roots into the system with just one thought.

I found some golden cherry, golden vine, holly leaves, and polygonatum nearby and collected them.

It can be said that for Lin Shu now, collecting herbs is not difficult, but climbing the mountain is difficult. Not to mention that she climbed the mountain with a pregnant belly.

When I feel hungry at noon, I eat a few buns.

Sometimes people may not be able to be pampered. They had morning sickness and did not want to eat meat at home. But today they ate meat buns and did not feel uncomfortable. It may also be that they are so hungry and tired that their body cannot take care of the pregnancy reaction.

Lin Shu was busy in the mountain until three in the afternoon, when he came down from the mountain and rode his bike back to the city.

It was already half past five when Lin Shu got home. He walked in carrying a few pounds of ginseng potatoes and a pig's stomach. He didn't see Wang Suzhen in the living room on the first floor. Only a few children were playing.

Lin Shu handed the two bags in his hand to the nanny and said, "Sister Liu, use this ginseng and potato to stew the pig's stomach tomorrow to nourish everyone's stomach. Fry the rice bugs and add some to everyone's dishes in the evening."

Like cures like, this soup is good for regulating the stomach and intestines.

"Did you buy it at the market?" The nanny was quite surprised to see the pig stomach in the bag.

I was thinking that maybe the vegetables I bought these days were not to her taste, so I bought them myself and asked her to cook them.

Lin Shu had no idea what she was thinking. After handing her a few ingredients, he went upstairs.

After a day in the mountains, her body was covered with poison from the mountains. She was afraid to sit on a chair or sofa bed without washing it off, fearing that her children would get skin allergies if she sat on it.

Lin Shu washed from head to toe, and when she came out, she heard a child crying downstairs.

She went downstairs and found that Gu Youhui had also returned.

"How's business today?"

Gu Youhui patted the canvas bag on his back and grinned, "Business is good. I'll go upstairs and put the bag back in the room first."

After he left, Lin Shu walked over to Wang Suzhen and sat down, and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what happened to Youming?"

Wang Suzhen glanced at Gu Youming, whose face was covered with snot and tears, and looked away with a look of disgust, "He lost a fight in kindergarten."

Jiang Chaohong heard the child's sharp cry, which gave her a headache. She yelled irritably, "Stop crying. You are right even though you lost the fight. When the fat kid hit you, didn't you hit him back?"

Gu Youming retorted aggrievedly: "Little Fatty snatched my candy and he ate it. Should I snatch it back from his mouth and eat it?"

Everyone: "..."

"I don't care, I want him to compensate me for the candy! Compensate me for the candy!" Gu Youming cried heartbreakingly when he thought of the candy he lost. No matter how his mother warned him, it was useless.

Gu Chunjing heard this and coaxed him, "If he doesn't give you candy, I'll help you beat him up tomorrow. Don't cry, it's embarrassing for a real man to cry."

Gu Youming paused in his crying, "Sister, will you really help me beat up Xiao Pang?"

Gu Chunjing is twelve years old this year, the third child in the family of her second brother Gu Mingqi, and the second among girls. Gu Youming is the eldest son of the third room Gu Zhiyuan, and he is six years old this year.

This is probably the advantage of a large family living together. The children stay together every day, so naturally they have better relationships than cousins ​​who live apart.

When the younger brother is bullied, the older sister comes to help him.
