Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Mother said, "Child, stop making trouble. It's already two o'clock. We've traveled dozens of miles. It will be dark when we get to Zhaojiagou. There will be many wild animals after dark. We can't take risks. Eat breakfast early tomorrow morning before leaving."

"No, I'm not coming. It's okay. I have a shotgun and dozens of bullets. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, I don't have a place to stay. It's so inconvenient."

Li Hu said: "Xu Xiong and I have to go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival and burn incense at our ancestors' graves."

When Zhao Hua heard that today was the Lantern Festival and his family had to send lanterns, he immediately said firmly, "It's okay, I have to go back. My horse is fast, it's an iron-hoofed horse, I guarantee I'll be home before dark."

Zhao Hua was the only male in his family. It would be unreasonable if he did not go back to deliver lanterns on the Lantern Festival. So he caught the horse-drawn carriage and headed back quickly.

Just as he said, the iron-hoofed horse is much faster than the mule.

The others also left, and the mother asked Liu Xialian: "This boy is good-looking. What's his family like? Do you know?"

"I've only been there once. There are more than a dozen horses at home. My ancestors were in the guerrillas who fought against the Japanese. I also have a relative who is a division commander somewhere."

"That's great. How about I find a matchmaker for you and go ask him."

"No, what you said makes it seem like I can't get married. I won't say anymore. I'm going to go to the vegetable greenhouse to watch over it. Today is the Lantern Festival, and there are lanterns everywhere."

Sure enough, the loud speaker in the village sounded, and the village chief was so anxious that his throat was blazing with anger. He shouted loudly: "Don't be careful when lighting lanterns today. If anyone burns the wasteland, don't blame me for beating him. If you really cause a fire, you will be shot. Don't blame me for not helping you then."

After shouting three times in a row, all the team leaders and militiamen in the village took up their shovels and stood on duty, ready for action.

The hotel is closed today, and Xu Shiba and Liu Fugang are also back.

The two of them came to the vegetable greenhouse with a large shovel, where Liu Xialian was topping the peppers. They had grown to 30 centimeters tall, and some of them were as big as peanuts.

Liu Fugang was very happy: "It's settled. When we open the store, we can use green peppers to stir-fry chicken."

"I have great respect for Sister Xia Lian. We have the same brain, but how did she come up with this idea? Why don't I understand it at all?"

Liu Xia Lian was so flattered that she was confused and felt very happy.

"When spring comes, these twenty acres will be turned into vegetable greenhouses. Next winter, our own restaurant will be able to supply fresh vegetables."

Liu Fugang is a little worried: "Will others follow suit and build vegetable greenhouses?"

"That doesn't matter. Whoever has the ability can do it. Just do your own thing. For example, there are hundreds of restaurants in a big city. It's enough for us to open three or five. We need to eat, and others need to eat too."

"Girl is really optimistic. I hope our restaurant can have a big sale this winter and have a booming business."

Liu Fuguang and Xu Shiba went to participate in the fire patrol together, and Liu Xia Lian continued to work.

The entire greenhouse is about one acre of land, and now Chunlan and Shuiqin are in charge of it. There are about 4,000 peppers in total, and dozens of other watermelons and cucumbers. In fact, the work is not too much, mainly to accumulate experience.

Moreover, there were almost no electrical equipment, and everything was done manually. There was no electricity in the shed, and there was no water pump for watering, so everything depended on buckets.

Today, the two of them were weeding. Wild weeds had started to grow next to the pepper plants and they had to be uprooted. Otherwise, if the weeds took over, the peppers would not be able to grow normally.

Chun Lan asked: "Sister Xia Lian, can all vegetables be grown in this shed? If it can grow leeks, I think I'd better plant a few sheds of leeks."

"Yes, we can grow them. You mean we can sell chives for a high price when we make dumplings during the Chinese New Year?"

"Yes, leeks grow fast and can be harvested again not long after being cut. I think it's quite suitable."

"That makes sense. Let's first gain experience and build greenhouses on all 20 acres of land after spring. We will definitely plant more varieties by then. What we want is to enrich the people's vegetable basket."

Both of them only have primary school diploma, but they are very diligent. They record the temperature of the greenhouse every morning and evening, and add or reduce firewood according to the temperature.

Now some people in the village go to the woods to look for firewood, broken branches, small shrubs, etc. There are countless branches left over from felling trees in the forest area. As long as you are not lazy, you can exchange them for money. Of course, there is no big money, but small money of three or five cents is easier.

With the arrival of the 16th day of the first lunar month, the Chinese New Year is completely over.

The fishing and hunting team returned to normal. Liu Xia Lian and six others went to the Songhua River to break ice and fish every day, or found a ravine to break ice and fish with nets.

Others go fishing to make a living, but they always end up empty-handed most of the time.

But this is not the case with Liu Xia Lian. She can see through the ice and clearly whether there are big fish three or four meters underwater. But she is not greedy and only catches about 150 kilograms of fish every day. She delivers them to the restaurant and then sells them for a few dozen in the market.

The peaceful days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

Today, Liu Xia Lian, Daya and Erya came to the forest farm to deliver fish. After delivering the fish to the restaurant, there were still about fifty kilograms of small fish left, including crucian carp, carp and the like, which were sold in the vegetable market.

Mr. Chen from Guangdong came over in a hurry.

"Sister Xia Lian, do you have any turtles?"

"Soft-shelled turtles are hibernating this season. If you want to eat soft-shelled turtles, come back in summer. I'll give you a few crucian carps to make soup."

"Okay then. I'll take a few crucian carps back to make soup. When you close your stall, come to my shop. I have something to talk to you about." Old Chen was really rude and took two big crucian carps back to the shop.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later."

There were many customers, one wanted one, another wanted two, and they paid 30 cents, 50 cents, or 80 cents for the biscuits. Soon the bucket was filled with money.

Daya and Erya were still sitting on the big carriage waiting for the stall to close. They had two crucian carps left and didn't want to sell them. They decided to give them to the boss to make soup.

Not far away is a breakfast shop that makes big pancakes. Not many people come here to order. Their main dishes are millet porridge and big pancakes.

Daya and Erya sat there and ate as much as they wanted. Liu Xialian handed five yuan to the boss and said, "It's still the same old rule. Eat as much as you want. If you eat more, you can get a refund. If you eat less, you can get a refund."

"Okay, you can rest assured."

However, the boss found that the two girls' appetite has gradually decreased, from the initial seven or eight pancakes to about five now.

Liu Xia Lian came to Boss Chen's shop. There were still some firecracker shells at the door. It turned out that the shop had just opened. It seemed that he had just returned from spending the New Year at home a month ago.

"Boss Chen, what do you want from me?"

Boss Chen said, "Sit down, I'll make you some tea."

"I won't drink tea. I just had a few bowls of millet porridge."

"Someone wants a hundred-year-old ginseng. Can you get it?"

After hearing this, Liu Xialian shook her head like a rattle: "Boss Chen, are you kidding me? What kind of weather is this? The mountain is blocked by heavy snow. We can't even see the ground when we go into the mountain to get ginseng, and we can't dig the frozen soil."
