From the gate of heaven

Chapter 21 [The warehouse in the mountain, help with the transportation]

I want to quickly transport the tons of matsutake back without attracting attention.

Lin Ze has already figured out a solution.

That is to have a warehouse of his own, store the matsutake in it to avoid the sight of the villagers, and then Lin Ze can open the door in the warehouse to quickly move the supplies, and said to the outside world that he called his colleagues to come over to help and move them away.

But it takes time to build the warehouse, and the transaction time agreed by Lin Ze and Qingmushan is three days later.

In the eyes of the world, Lin Ze is a disciple of a hermit who lives deep in Yunwu Mountain.

Even if he has a vigorous pace as a martial arts practitioner, it still takes a day to walk back and forth between Shanmen and Qinghe Township.

If it is carried out on a daily basis, the donkey cart will pull five or six hundred catties each time, and I will carry another two hundred catties by myself. At most, I will be able to pull a little more than one ton of matsutake back in three days.

So what Lin Ze is worried about at the moment is how quickly he should transport the matsutake away.

"Perhaps, this method can be improved for a temporary transition. Let the villagers help me transport the matsutake to a secluded place in Yunwu Mountain, and then I will transport the matsutake away overnight under the guise of my fellow disciples helping with the transportation."

"Even if there are many doubts about this excuse, for example, many fellow students never show up in front of people."

"But as long as I'm not directly seen opening the Tianmen Gate to travel across worlds, then it's not a big problem, and this doubt can also be explained that the brothers in the sect need to practice martial arts with a pure heart.

Thinking about it, Lin Ze has made up his mind.

Then he began to lay the groundwork: "The roads in Yunwu Mountain are rugged, and the quantity of pine mushrooms purchased is too large. It is indeed inconvenient to transport. I plan to build a warehouse near Yingzui Mountain. When the time comes, I will ask the elders to arrange for the collected pine mushrooms to be sent to this warehouse for resettlement."

"I will pay an additional transportation fee. This Yingzui Mountain is not far from my mountain gate, and it is not troublesome for the elders to arrange people to enter the mountain."

"At that time, I can call the disciples in my school to come and carry them. Anyway, they usually need to climb mountains and wading to chop firewood to carry the load, but they just help me carry these pine mushrooms back."

Lin Ze's words had two effects.

The first is to tell An Ye that there are many disciples in his sect.

It is already July now, and there is only half a month left for the prime time of matsutake picking. Even if all the villagers around Qinghe Township are mobilized to pick matsutake, he can eat all of them here, and he can save these dried matsutake slices to enjoy all year round.

So that they don't have to worry that after there are too many matsutake, they will not continue to buy them.

The second is to pave the way for quickly transporting many matsutake away.

People who practice martial arts are strong and strong, and they are as light as a swallow. Even if they carry hundreds of catties and walk in the mountains, their steps are vigorous.

With the foreshadowing of Lin Ze's words, many villagers will not wonder why Lin Ze moved the goods so quickly.

An Ye didn't think much about it.

In his opinion, Lin Ze used the price of rice to buy some worthless miscellaneous fungi, which was originally a kind of blessing for the villagers like them.

And he settled down to help buy these miscellaneous bacteria, and he can also get a share of the income.

Don't say that Lin Ze bought the pine fungus to eat back, even if he took it home and used it as firewood, it's none of their business.

They enjoy this blessing and still question other people's ulterior motives. Isn't that a loss of conscience?
"Yingzui Mountain is about ten miles away from our Lianghe Village. I remember that there is a natural cave there that can shelter from the wind and rain. If you build a warehouse there, it will be much more convenient for you, Ziyi, to move your supplies."

An Ye smiled.

"Then trouble the elders to find some manpower for me, and now follow me into the mountain to explore the site and build a warehouse."

"I'll pay for the warehouse at current market prices."

Lin Ze spoke directly.

An Ye nodded and said, "I'm going to call someone right now."

After all, turn around and leave.
-
When Lin Ze put three big sacks and six hundred catties of matsutake on the donkey cart, An Ye quickly returned with his people.

There are a total of fourteen young adults, all of whom are villagers from Lianghe Village.

"Aren't you going to pick pine mushrooms?"

Lin Ze curiously asked the villagers of Lianghe Village.

The Yunwu Mountains are rich in products, and matsutake can be picked up a few dozen catties a day, or even hundreds of catties if you are lucky.

Even if matsutake shrunk significantly after being dried, it can earn thirty or forty dollars a day, or even hundreds of dollars a day.

But repairing the warehouse for him is obviously not so profitable. The daily salary is at most seventy or eighty yuan, and it will be much more tiring than picking matsutake.

"There are only so many pine mushrooms, and now it's not as good as before. It's the same for the women at home to pick them."

"Mr. Lin's matter is still important. We will help you repair the warehouse as soon as possible, Mr. Lin."

The leading villager of Lianghe Village said with a smile.

Although there are some beautiful words, but also very straightforward to explain the reason.

The matsutake near the Yunwu Mountains has been continuously collected these days, and it is not as easy to pick as it was at the beginning. It needs to go to farther areas to collect, which consumes more time and energy.

Although the income of building warehouses is not high, such job opportunities with stable income are not common.

"Let's go then."

Lin Ze said.

"Master Lin, let's help you carry some pine mushrooms."

The villagers of Lianghe Village took the initiative to speak up.

After that, he took the initiative to carry a bag of about one hundred catties of pine mushrooms by himself, and followed Lin Ze's donkey cart into the mountain.

"That's it, each of you will give you an extra five dollars for transportation."

Lin Ze nodded.

The group of 14 people from Lianghe Village, who were just about to start their steps, stopped and carried another [-]-jin bag of matsutake on their shoulders.

Originally they planned to contribute for free, but now that Lin Ze is paying extra, it would be a bit embarrassing to carry a bag.

"It's really sincere."

When Lin Ze saw this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say much.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Lin Ze soon drove a group of people into the Yunwu Mountains and came to the vicinity of Yingzui Mountain.

This hill is not particularly tall, and there is a small cave in the mountain.

"Lean here, use stones and wood to make a dry and closed warehouse that can prevent wild beasts from invading, and shelter from wind and rain."

"The building materials are local. I will pay you seventy cents a day. If it can be completed within half a month, I will have extra wages."

Lin Ze pointed to the location of the cave in Yingzui Mountain, and spoke about his request.

On the way, Lin Ze told the villagers of Lianghe Village about his request, and at the moment it was just to confirm the construction site.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we will definitely help you do a good job."

The villagers of Lianghe Village all spoke in agreement.
