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

Xiao Dong drove straight to the entrance of Linyi Fried Chicken Restaurant. Originally there was a spacious parking lot here, but he didn't expect that there were more than a dozen carriages parked there at just ten o'clock today.

Liu Xia Lian raised her head and looked around: "Are they here to cause trouble?"

Damei pointed at the couplet at the door and said, "No, this is reserved for a wedding."

However, there is a sign at the door indicating that the business is open as usual. It seems that the wedding will be held on the second floor, and the first floor is open to the public.

Liu Xialian and Li Damei brought the dishes in. The kitchen was bustling with activity. The lobby manager checked the accounts and recorded the weight and amount of the dishes. The price Liu Xialian charged for dishes delivered to her own hotel was the same as the price she charged for dishes delivered to other hotels. She had to pay with both her left and right hands because she needed to keep accounts.

Everyone else was busy, but Xu Shiba was idle. Liu Xia Lian asked, "How much is the wedding meal per table?"

"A wealthy family from a nearby village wanted to play cards. They ordered the expensive one, which was 25 yuan per table. They brought their own cigarettes and alcohol."

"Oh, that's fine. I'll get a car and leave it at my dad's place at the forest farm. Anyone who needs it can just drive it."

Xu Shiba was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "Xia Lian, your progress is too fast. Since you bought the big mule last year, it's like riding a rocket. Now you have changed to a jeep."

"This car is registered in the name of the Iron Pot Stew Restaurant. I will arrange for someone to learn how to drive. I can also make some money by picking up my wife when I have nothing to do."

"Okay, I can drive. I learned it in the army. I never thought about owning a car so I didn't renew my license. I'll renew it later."

Vehicle registration and driver's license application are all in one place. Because Uncle Qi had made arrangements, the registration went very smoothly. I got the business license of the company, paid the taxes, and stamped the license. However, gasoline is a strategic material these days, and there are very few gas stations. There is only one small gas station in the forest farm, and only two in the county town. You have to buy tickets in advance, otherwise you really can't fill up.

The driving test is right behind, and it is quite simple, because these days the person who applies for the license is either the unit’s driver or the unit’s leader, so the staff are also very polite.

There was still a transition to go through. A middle-aged man in a blue uniform was Liu Xia Lian's examiner.

"She's a lesbian, can she drive?" the middle-aged man asked with concern.

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "You are an experienced driver. How do you tell me to take the test?"

"Just drive through here, reverse the parking space, go over the single-sided bridge, uphill, turn, drive on the winding road, and then drive around the big playground."

There was no professional vehicle, so the one used was Liu Xia Lian's car. It could be seen that the uncle was still a little nervous, with his hand tightly holding the door handle.

"Uncle, don't be nervous. I'm not nervous at all."

"No, no, I'm not nervous. Why don't I just do it for you?"

"That won't work. You haven't seen my skills yet."

Liu Xialian stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, and then she reversed into the parking space, which was extremely smooth and accurate. She parked well and came out well. She crossed the single-sided bridge once on both the left and right sides.

When starting on a slope, I felt a push on my back. The examiner felt sorry for me and said, "Girl, if you step on the accelerator like this, you will ruin the car. You should be gentler."

After driving one lap, the examiner stamped his approval stamp directly. No further assessment was needed. I passed.

"Your skills are quite good, but it's a pity that you have a job. Otherwise, you could go to a passenger transport company and drive a truck. You can earn fifty yuan a month, plus bonuses."

This driver's license is just a simple little booklet with a handwritten stamp of the photo and an official seal on it.

Liu Xia Lian smiled happily: "Xiao Dong, congratulations, I have a driver's license."

"Now that you have a driver's license, you don't need me to drive anymore. It will be hard for me to eat you out in the future."

"Look at what you said. If you want to eat, go to the restaurant and tell me when you're done. That's it."

The clothing store is almost finished and will be completed in a week or so at most. The next steps are to put up the shelves, cabinets, and clothing racks.

Damei praised the workers and gave each of them a pack of cigarettes. There was no need to worry about them not working hard, Xu Shiba came every day to check the progress, and if there was anything wrong, he would tear it down and rebuild it. After tearing it down twice, no one dared to mess around anymore.

"Xiao Dong, please drive the car back. Damei and I are going to the provincial capital."

"Going to the provincial capital? What are you going to do there? Do you want to tell your dad?"

"He knows. Didn't my Uncle Yang ask me to be a special coach? I haven't completed the formalities yet. I happened to take the train there today and bought a 25-horsepower tractor from the city."

"Okay, you're really capable of doing this. Let's go." Xiao Dong stepped on the accelerator and drove back. Not far away, he saw a middle-aged man with a child waiting for a car on the side of the road.

Xiao Dong went over and asked, "You look familiar to me, are you from the forest farm?"

"Yes, back to the forest farm. I see you are also familiar with the security department?"

"Yes, yes, yes, come on up, don't wait for the bus."

"You can't sit here for free, how about I give you a dollar?"

"No money, forget it, just give me the cigarettes."

The middle-aged man was quite honest. He had two packs of good cigarettes on him, which cost 60 cents a pack. Two packs cost 1.2 yuan, which was 20 cents more expensive than paying with money.

But the nature of the things is different. Taking money is called business, while smoking and drinking is called friendship.

Xiao Dong learned a lot about the human relationships in state-owned enterprises. He did not violate any principles and still got some benefits. This man has to thank Xiao Dong.

Liu Xia Lian specially found a sturdy TV box from the supply and marketing cooperative, filled it with green peppers and tied it with a rope.

Li Damei carried a large canvas bag filled with food, including biscuits, tea, eggs, and dried meat.

It is 250 kilometers from the county to the provincial capital, which is 500 li. The train takes five or six hours to get there. I brought so many things because I was used to it. I was afraid of being hungry. The train might stop in the wilderness and anything could happen. Damei also brought a book on store management, which she could read when she had nothing to do.

The two spent a few cents and took a tricycle to the county railway station.

There weren't many people, there were only a few people queuing at the ticket window, and there weren't many people in the waiting room either. There hadn't been a wave of migrant workers in those days, and the people from Northeast China hadn't started to move around. The first to start were the people from Zhejiang, who were daring and hardworking, and had already run around, doing business everywhere.

The wooden bench was full of age. Liu Xia Lian and Li Da Mei found a place to sit down. It was still early before the departure time, there was still an hour left. Nowadays, people like to live a slow life, not rushing or feeling relaxed.

"Damei, have you been dating someone recently?" Liu Xia Lian asked.

Li Damei shook her head. "No, a few days ago my aunt introduced me to a fat man in his thirties, who was a businessman from a special economic zone in the south. He waved two thousand yuan in his hand and said that if I agreed to go with him, he would give the money to my family as a betrothal gift. Then after we get married, I don't have to do anything, I just have to stay at home every day for two hundred yuan a month."

This is a real rich man, or else Damei's aunt has a wide network of contacts. Isn't the Southern Special Economic Zone Pengcheng? It has just started to develop, and the villas are only a thousand yuan per square meter. It's good enough to give my wife 200 yuan a month.

"There is such a good thing, why didn't you go?"
