Reborn in the Great Northern Wilderness in 1982, I farmed and hunted to support my whole family.

Where there is criticism, there is praise.

Some people still chose to deliver their goods to Li Mu, allowing him to pour out their selected dried goods for inspection before weighing them.

However, there were only a handful of people delivering the goods, most of whom were elderly and too lazy to travel to the county.

Seeing this, Li Siming felt both embarrassed and flustered as he walked up to Li Mu and said, "Mu Zi, I'm so sorry, look what you've done."

"It's alright! If I can't collect the mountain produce, I can still fish. To be honest, Fourth Master, you should tell everyone about the poisonous mushrooms, otherwise you'll only be harming them."

Li Mu didn't hide anything from anyone when he spoke.

The elderly couple, who had just finished weighing the black fungus and hadn't left yet, were shocked when they heard this, their eyes widening in surprise: "What poisonous mushroom?"

"Have poisonous mushrooms been mixed into the goods from our village?"

Although the elderly couple are getting on in years, they are still quite sharp.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to stay and hand over the mountain goods to Li Mu to deliver.

They never expected to hear such a horrifying story.

"Yes, poisonous mushrooms were found in the hazel mushrooms in our village. They were delivered to a restaurant, and the chef who tasted the dishes after they were cooked discovered the poisonous mushrooms, which prevented many people from being poisoned."

Li Mu explained the whole story without any hesitation, and the old couple thought about what Li Mu had just said.

“Young Mu, you did the right thing. Food should be carefully prepared, especially since there are so many kinds of mushrooms, some of which look very similar.”

"Young Mu, you must help us check carefully, there can't be any poisonous mushrooms."

The elderly couple took turns offering their advice and instructions.

Li Mu quickly replied, "Don't worry, we will definitely check it carefully."

Only after hearing Li Mu's words did the elderly couple feel relieved enough to leave.

No sooner had they left than Tian Xiaohu arrived with Li Ergou and Zhang Biaozi.

"Brother Mu! You're back."

"Brother Mu!"

"Brother Mu!"

The three men, all over 1.8 meters tall, were extremely respectful to Li Mu, who was just over 1.7 meters tall.

"You three have come at the perfect time; I was just about to look for you!" Li Mu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the three became even more excited, especially Tian Xiaohu.

"Brother Mu, shall we go fishing?"

Since Li Mu was busy collecting mountain goods and going into the mountains, they haven't been fishing for almost a month.

It's not that I can't do it myself, it's that even if I did, I wouldn't know how to sell it.

Li Jianjun had fished before, but he was arrested by the business management before he even entered the county town, and he even had to pay compensation.

Therefore, even if they wanted to fish, they dared not do so. Firstly, they dared not set up a stall in the county town; secondly, there were no stalls for them in the market, as they not only needed money but also an introduction from someone.

"Catch! Noon is the perfect time. Let's set up a couple more nets. We also need to catch rabbits and foxes. I've thought of a new trap; let's test it out and see if it works."

As he spoke, Li Mu turned to look at Li Ganzi and Li Siming.

"Fourth Master, ask the brothers and uncles who are delivering goods if they want to go fishing and catching rabbits with me."

"Fish is five yuan per person per day, rabbit is four yuan, and fox is twenty yuan. If we're going to do it, let's set off after lunch."

When Li Mu said that, how could Li Ganzi and Li Siming disagree?

"The pay is more than the delivery fee, anyone who doesn't go is a fool." Li Ganzi said with a smile, then turned around and gathered all the deliverymen who had worked with him before, and told them about it.

Sure enough, none of the remaining four people said they wouldn't go.

Moreover, they all knew about the poisonous mushrooms and strongly agreed with Li Mu's actions today.

On the contrary, some people were a little uneasy about Li Siming's earlier statement that he wanted to keep it a secret from the villagers.

Fortunately, Chef Jin didn't make things difficult for them because of Li Mu; otherwise, they would all have been sent to the inspection team.

Once they're in the inspection team, those who sold mushrooms to hotels will all have to be detained by the fence.

Although everyone felt uncomfortable, they couldn't say anything because of Li Siming's seniority.

Once the fishing time was agreed upon, Li Mu told everyone to disperse and go home early to rest and have a good meal so they would have the energy to work at noon.

As for Li Mu... since he's come to the Tao family, he should naturally visit Village Chief Tao.

"Uncle Tao, Aunt Zeng!" Li Mu greeted as he entered the house.

"Come on! Sit down."

Zeng Changzhen had already heard Li Mu talking outside and wanted to go out and lend a hand, but Tao Qingshan stopped her, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Upon seeing Li Mu enter the room, they quickly had him sit on the kang (a heated brick bed), and also grabbed a large handful of freshly roasted pine nuts and placed them on the small kang table in front of him.

"Eat, it's stir-fried with plum, it's so fragrant."

After saying that, Zeng Changzhen turned around and took out a small handkerchief package from the cabinet box, opened it and pushed it directly in front of him.

"Two hundred yuan, Mu Zi, count it, is it correct?"

Li Mu looked at the money handed to him, without any intention of refusing, and instead carefully counted it.

"Two hundred yuan, not a penny less. Aunt Zeng, you're amazing, you've earned so much money so quickly."

“Oh! I didn’t earn all of this. It was Yimei who took the pine nuts and hazelnuts that we didn’t pick out to the market to sell, and with the money I made from selling mountain products, we finally made enough.”

"Look, she went to the market again today," Aunt Zeng said with a smile, her eyes brimming with pride.

Li Mu hadn't expected Tao Yimei to sell roasted nuts and seeds, so he immediately picked up a soybean from the table and popped it into his mouth.

"It's spiced, and so crispy!"

"Isn't it delicious! This was cooked for Yimei by her grandma when she was little. I never thought she would remember it and even sell it for money."

When Aunt Zeng mentioned this, her smile deepened.

“Then I’ll go to the market and buy a few pounds later, just to chat about when I’m bored.” Li Mu chimed in, his eyes showing genuine interest.

But at that moment, Tao Qingshan suddenly spoke up: "Young Mu, what do you think of Li Siming?"

"Fourth Master! He's just too emotional. He's good at handling things, but he doesn't know how to be tactful or calculating."

"If I were to introduce Yimei to him... I don't think it would be a good idea."

Li Mu thought Tao Qingshan was asking about Tao Yimei's marriage, so he quickly spoke up and explained in detail.

However, to Li Mu's surprise, Tao Qingshan actually said, "Then what do you think about me letting him take my place?"

Li Mu listened to the words, and although he was surprised, he was not particularly shocked.

“That works too. Although my fourth uncle is about the same age as me, he is of a higher generation. If he becomes the village chief, he can keep some people in check.”

It can keep some people in check!

That's not a very high rating!

Tao Qingshan hesitated, his brows furrowing tightly: "If he's not up to it, do you really want to be the village chief?"

"No, I don't want to be the village chief."

Li Mu quickly refused.

"Being a village chief is so tiring! You have to please everyone and protect everyone. No, no, I still prefer making money."
