As a result, Ning Weimin's trip to the Agricultural University, which was supposed to be completed in two days, was once again in trouble.

God had given him a treasure, and he had to take it.

Just like that, the next day Ning Weimin turned around and drove to Hong Yingfang, asking him to take him to Liangxiang.

Moreover, not only did the two of them go together on this trip, Ning Weimin also asked Hong Yingfang to help with the Agricultural University, and made an appointment with an Agricultural University professor who was familiar with the local conditions and understood the chestnut planting situation to conduct on-site research together.

And they visited several villages in a row. When they entered the village, they first looked for the village and then the production team leader.

Sure enough, this trip was not in vain.

Since Liangxiang's chestnuts are very famous, all local villages that rely on chestnuts as cash crops know this chestnut mushroom called Maitake.

But unlike the Japanese, our good farmers hate this stuff very much, and even call this chestnut mushroom "a depressing ghost."

Not for anything else, just because the chestnut tree is a famous economic tree species and the economic value of chestnut is high.

In China, fresh chestnuts can currently be sold for 56 cents per catty, and sugar-fried chestnuts can be sold for more than one yuan per catty. They are the main economic pillars of several local villages in Liangxiang.

To local farmers, this chestnut mushroom is just a strange-looking mushroom growing on chestnut trees.

Its appearance is too strange, not as pleasing to the eye as those traditional famous fungi, and it cannot be sold at a high price. As a result, it is misunderstood as a useless thing. It is usually only eaten by the villagers themselves. At most, it is dried to enrich the variety of winter vegetables.

.

But conversely, this thing is quite destructive. It will destroy the growth of chestnut trees.

Local farmers all have experience that chestnut trees with chestnut fungus are more likely to die.

And it is obvious that the chestnut trees are rotting.

If you leave the chestnut mushrooms alone, the area where the mushrooms grow will rot after a while, and the wood will become rotten!

So needless to say, farmers regard this thing as a scourge.

Usually, they destroy it without mercy as soon as they see it. I wish they could destroy it completely.

But if this kind of practice is seen by the Japanese, they will undoubtedly be very distressed.

Because this thing is very valuable in Japan. Although it is not as valuable as matsutake, it is not comparable to the price of chestnut.

This is the gap of information asymmetry. Those you like are regarded as treasures, and those you don't like are regarded as disasters.

However, because of Ning Weimin, this matter has changed since then.

Ning Weimin invited village cadres from several villages he visited to a restaurant in the county town, held a big banquet, and had a direct showdown.

He said that from now on, he would charge two yuan per catty for fresh mushrooms and three yuan per catty for dry products.

Long-term cooperation can be achieved through the village committees of each village. The money will be settled on the spot when the goods are collected. If you like, you can sign a contract with each village after the meal.

People in the mountains are relatively simple. When I heard that such a great thing was happening, I almost fainted with joy.

It's raining season now, and the thing that worried them the most in the past can actually be exchanged for money. Isn't this turning waste into treasure?

Let's talk about dry goods. Which village can't scrape together a few hundred kilograms of dry goods? At this price, it's very suitable.

No one thought that this evil that everyone looked down upon would one day be worth more than chestnuts.

So the village cadres were full of promises and raised their glasses to toast Ning Weimin, holding up the big boss who drove to the market like the God of Wealth.

No one doesn't believe what you say, Ning Weimin. These days, cars are the best proof.

Not to mention it was an imported luxury car that they had never seen before.

The county magistrate only has a jeep to ride in. This is more effective than any letter of introduction.

Not only that, Ning Weimin also made a conspiracy with two professors from the Agricultural University.

He hopes that he can start another project with Agricultural University. He is willing to invest 300,000 yuan to support Agricultural University in artificially cultivating this mushroom in Liangxiang.

This made the village cadres who were spectators regard Ning Weimin as the Buddha of Wanjia.

Because if this thing is really done, it will be equivalent to an additional economic pillar for these villages, and poverty alleviation and prosperity will be just around the corner!

Moreover, they don’t have to worry about sales, transportation, and prices. They just need to work hard.

Exchanging strength for food is what farmers like to do most, so who wouldn’t be happy about it?

So, someone called the township chief on the spot, and within half an hour, the township chief rushed over.

After finding out Ning Weimin's identity, he regarded him as a nobleman.

In the end, Ning Weimin was so tricked by these simple local cadres that he didn't even know how he got back to the capital.

It was supposed to be his treat, but he didn't pay for the meal, and it was all on the township's public account.

And when we left, the trunk of the car was stuffed with local specialties by several village cadres, including a big bag of local high-quality chestnuts.

Millet, red dates, walnuts, peanuts, melon seeds, preserved fruits, all kinds of things were packed into two boxes, and various fruits were stuffed into two paper boxes.

There was also twenty kilograms of dried chestnut mushrooms given to him for free.

When Ning Weimin came to his senses, he looked at him in a daze. He was not going to the countryside to do errands. He was going to purchase goods for the wedding.

These fellow villagers are so honest. They haven't seen a penny yet, but they have already given him so many good things.

It made him feel unbearable.
