Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt
Chapter 104: Heated Carriage
I originally wanted to catch a live one, but it was too cold that day and the big sturgeon froze to death in a short time. It was so hard and sticky, what a pity.
The three of them drove a horse-drawn carriage pulled by a big black mule to the forest farm. When they arrived at the forest farm, it was five o'clock and the sky was getting dark. It was time for the Baishan Iron Pot Stew.
Li Ganzi, Xie Ersao and others were also surprised when they saw this huge sturgeon.
Mrs. Xie exclaimed: "You have caught a fish spirit."
Someone who knows the fish said, "This is a sturgeon. Normally, it weighs about 200 kilograms. If it's big, it can weigh 2,000 kilograms. But the water in the Songhua River is small, not as big as the Heilongjiang River."
Li Ganzi said: "I have never studied how to catch such a big fish."
"Put it at the door to attract people. Our store can't sell this fish. I'll go ask someone and see if anyone wants it."
Li Ganzi arranged for his waiters to move a table to the door to display the giant sturgeon.
It was already lively, and now it's even more lively.
Liu Xialian drove the carriage to ask each restaurant one by one. She didn't need to ask the restaurants that usually delivered fish. They were all ordinary small restaurants, and the iron pot stew was of the same level as her own. If she spent one or two thousand to buy a big fish, she would probably ruin it.
Liu Xialian had no choice but to go to the state-owned restaurant and find the manager and ask, "I caught a two-meter-long sturgeon today. Do you want it?"
The manager shook his head quickly. "The market price of sturgeon is ten yuan per pound. With such a high price, very few people can afford it. I advise you not to ask the restaurant, but contact the supply and marketing cooperative. They have many connections."
"Okay, then you're busy, I'm leaving."
It is impossible to sell it to the supply and marketing cooperatives because they will suppress the price too much when they receive the goods.
When Liu Xia Lian was preparing to go to the forest farm canteen, she saw a jeep driving to the door of the restaurant. It was Director Li's car.
Manager Li took a look, then got in his car and left.
About half an hour later, Dad came.
"Xia Lian, did you catch this big fish?"
"Oh, yes, I just caught some this afternoon. If you want to eat it, I'll ask Gan to stew it for you."
Liu Jun shook his head repeatedly: "In ancient times, only the emperor could eat sturgeon. It was a tribute."
Liu Jun took Liu Xia Lian to a secluded place and said, "If Director Li needs it, please send it over. Don't let anyone know."
"Buying a fish is so mysterious."
"Now is the life-or-death moment of the forest farm reform. Director Li has a very difficult time. He is trying his best to fight for the interests of everyone, so it is inevitable that he has to move around. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, but Dad, you should also think about the way out."
"Dad knows everything, but he is reluctant to leave the forest farm. This is my second home."
Liu Xia Lian waited until it was completely dark before driving the horse-drawn cart to deliver the sturgeons to the forest farm and loaded them directly onto Director Li's car. She also paid him a lot of money, the normal amount was 1,850 kilograms, and he gave her 1,850 yuan.
It’s public money, so just follow the normal procedures.
Liu Xia Lian asked: "Director Li, I heard that the transport team's 50-inch tractor is for sale."
"Yes, I have this idea. Recently, I have a batch of cars to sell, but I need to hold a meeting to study them, and then sell them through public bidding. How many do you plan to buy?"
"I plan to buy only ten. After all, used cars have many problems, so I don't dare to buy more than that."
"Okay, I'll give Director Huang from the Logistics Department a heads up and let you know when the bidding starts in a few days."
"Okay, thank you, Director Li."
Liu Xia Lian returned to Baishan Tieguodun to eat, but found that all the seats were full and the private rooms were also full.
Daya set up a table in the storage room in the backyard, and the three of them ate cabbage, vermicelli and tofu stewed together. This was a staff meal. The restaurant's white rice was very delicious, much more fragrant than corn cakes. Daya and Erya ate more than ten kilograms of rice.
Ganzi finally understood that with such an appetite, most bosses could not afford to hire him even if he didn't ask for wages.
Liu Xia Lian looked at the time and it was already past seven in the evening: "Da Ya, Er Ya, let's go to the guesthouse to stay for one night, and tomorrow we'll go to the county town with Da Mei."
"Okay, okay, there's delicious food in the county town."
In fact, compared with the forest farm, the county town is larger in scale and has a larger population, but its special foods may not be as abundant as in the forest farm.
After dinner, the three of them strolled to Damei Clothing Store, where Mrs. Lu was cursing at the door.
"What's wrong, Mrs. Lu?"
"Three hooligans came. They didn't buy any clothes. Instead, they flirted with the girls in the store and said they wanted to have dinner with them."
This kind of thing became more common in the 1990s, but it was considered a very serious matter in that era.
"Okay, I'll take care of it, you go back to the store."
Liu Xia Lian brought Daya and Erya to the three young men with a very oppressive feeling. The three young men were in their twenties, of good height, but very thin. It was estimated that the three of them combined were not as heavy as Daya alone.
Daya and Erya clenched their fists and made a crackling sound, waiting for Liu Xia Lian's order.
Who would have thought that Liu Xia Lian didn't give any orders at all. It is normal to have a relationship in your twenties and it is also normal to like beautiful women, but your behavior must be in line with the characteristics of the times.
"All three of you should behave yourself. If you like someone, you can date them freely, but you are not allowed to cause trouble in the store."
"We didn't cause any trouble. We just thought Qingqing was prettier and wanted to invite her to dinner."
"Okay, young man, you have the courage. Wait until Qingqing is on break and then ask her out. If she agrees, I have no objection. Go back quickly and don't make a big noise next time."
The three of them walked away with shame on their faces. The characteristic of this era was conservatism.
Nothing happened that night. I had planned to get up early at six o'clock and rush to the county town, but it was too cold that day, twenty-five or twenty-six degrees below zero, and even with the cotton hat on my eyelashes, ice formed.
Liu Xia Lian decisively changed her mind: "Let's eat first and then leave."
The four of them came to the breakfast stall and ate fried dough sticks, soy milk and eggs, which warmed their bodies.
Li Damei said, "Wait for me for a while. I'll go back."
After a while, Li Damei came back with a coal briquettes stove and some coal briquettes.
The coal stove was burning brightly and it was very warm.
Under normal circumstances, a piece of honeycomb coal can burn for two hours at full fire. There were three pieces in the stove, and I took out four more, which was enough to last until I came back in the afternoon.
"Damei is really smart. She put the coal stove on the carriage, and now we have a heated carriage.
There was no need to worry about coal briquettes poisoning in the open carriage, and Erya was busy roasting peanuts and sweet potatoes on the coal briquettes stove along the way.
It was already ten o'clock when we arrived at the county town. The big black mule was extremely tired and was puffing out white air.
Daya and Erya stayed in the mule cart to eat, while Liu Xialian and Li Damei began to look for it along the busy streets of the county town.
In an era when information was transmitted slowly, the only way to access information from the outside world was to search for it on your own. After a while, I saw a newly built six-story building in front of me. These new communities were considered high-end properties at the time.
Liu Xia Lian asked someone and found out that this was the water plant's staff housing compound, collective housing for the water plant's employees. There were buildings in total, and two of them facing the street had storefronts for sale.
Then an old man angrily chased people away: "What are you doing? No one is allowed to stay here."
