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

"The county has a large population, so sales will naturally be higher. You stay for a while and look for any storefronts available in the city. When the time comes, let me know to buy them, and we'll open a third store."

"Okay, sis, no problem. I'll ride around on my bike and I'm sure I'll find a suitable place."

Liu Xia Lian inspected the store. After all, it was a new store and it was well maintained. The goods were neatly arranged and the reserved space was relatively spacious, giving people a very pleasant feeling when shopping there.

There is also a service commitment hanging on the wall: if the soles break or the glue comes apart within one month, you can replace the shoes with new ones, and if you are not satisfied within seven days of wearing them, you can return them.

These service promises were very exciting at the time. Once you bought a piece of clothing, you could return it within seven days as long as it did not affect the second sale. It can be said that this set a precedent for after-sales service.

Liu Xialian looked at the accounts and found them very impressive. A small shop with four employees had a daily sales of over a thousand yuan. Sometimes it was more than six hundred yuan. The net profit was actually higher than that of a restaurant, which was indeed a bit unexpected.

Although the profit of the restaurant is high, the consumption is huge and the labor wages are much higher than here. Moreover, there is damage every day and various dishes are easy to spoil, so losses are inevitable.

"It's spring now, and the ginseng has sprouted. The people who go to the mountains to pick ginseng are all active. We should also join in, otherwise all the good stuff will be taken away by them."

"Okay, that's no problem for me. Both stores have store managers, so they can run just as well even if I'm not there. The second store has started recruiting backup staff these days."

"Then let's meet in the village tomorrow morning. I'll go to the school to see Liu Jingwen and Liu Dongxue."

Liu Xia Lian drove a jeep, bought some fruit from her own fruit shop, and carried the fruit to the gate of the county high school.

The get out of class hadn't ended yet, and there were a dozen parents waiting at the door to send their belongings in. After waiting for about ten minutes, the bell rang and the security guard said, "Go in." He let the person in directly. The management was not so strict these days, and entry and exit were relatively casual.

After a while, Liu Dongxue came out. Liu Xialian waved from afar: "Third sister, come here."

"Second sister, what good things did you get?"

"Take the oranges, bananas, and apples back home and share some with your roommates."

"Okay, sister, I'm going back to the dormitory now. I've been too nervous recently. The college entrance examination is only three months away."

"Okay, go back. I'll wait for the fourth brother." Liu Xialian said as she stuffed another twenty yuan into the third sister's pocket money. The school canteen was cheap, so eating didn't cost much. This twenty yuan was her pocket money.

Not long after, the fourth student Liu Jingwen came over with his classmates.

"Sister, did you bring anything delicious?"

"Yes, a bag of fruit. Eat less. It's still cold. Eat one a day."

"I know, sister."

After chatting for a while, there was really nothing to arrange for studying. The fourth sister was extremely talented, much better than the third sister, and far ahead of the others.

"Take this twenty, don't spend it carelessly, and don't develop bad habits. If I catch you smoking, you're dead."

Liu Jingwen waved his hands in fear: "No, no, absolutely not. How about you eat with us in the cafeteria?"

"No, I'm not used to the food in your cafeteria. It's all boiled. I'm going back. Tell me if anything happens. Don't act rashly."

"I know, sister." After saying that, the fourth child ran back to the dormitory.

It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road. Liu Jingwen had just left and Liu Xia Lian was about to leave when two leaders came over, Principal Zhao and Director Liu.

These two people are not substituting for the class, they must be going for inspection.

It's not uncommon these days for someone to take the blame for good grades, and it's not difficult to do. My younger brothers and sisters have such good academic performance, there's no guarantee that they won't be targeted by people with ulterior motives, so I always have to be on guard.

"Principal Zhao, Director Liu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Are you free this morning? I'd like to invite you to dinner. There's a new fried chicken restaurant on the street, and the food is delicious." Liu Xia Lian came over to say hello.

Principal Zhao said, "Oh, I have a meeting this afternoon. It's too late to walk all the way there."

"I drove here. I'm right at the door. I'll bring you back after we finish eating."

Principal Zhao said, "Well, I ate there a few days ago, and it was really delicious. It was quite strange that they had watermelon in such a cold weather."

Director Liu is the principal's follower and she has no right to refute the principal's words.

The three of them walked out of the school gate. Liu Xia Lian opened the door of the jeep and invited Principal Zhao and Director Liu to get on the back seat.

Liu Xia Lian was driving in front. Principal Zhao didn't have a car at his level. She couldn't help but look around and found a shotgun hanging next to the car door. She was immediately startled: "Xia Lian, why do you have a gun in your car?"

"I am a forest ranger. I carry a gun and am certified to work there." Liu Xia Lian said with a smile.

We walked all the way to the Linyi Fried Chicken Restaurant next to the material company. The receptionist at the door took the three of us directly to the Tianzihao private room on the second floor. This large room was more than 20 square meters, with a big round table and exquisite chandeliers, which looked upscale and grand.

"Hello, please order." The waiter brought the menu and Liu Xia Lian handed it to Principal Zhao.

"Principal Zhao, Director Liu, you guys order, I don't mind eating."

Principal Zhao was really rude. Since Liu Xia Lian could not be offended, and Liu Jingwen and Liu Dongxue could not be made to bear grudges, then it wouldn't be too much to have a good meal with them, right?

"One portion of fried chicken, one portion of minced meat and green beans, one portion of stir-fried pork with green pepper, and one portion of stir-fried eggs with prickly ash. For wine, a bottle of Tai is enough. No need for cigarettes."

Four dishes and a bottle of wine cost a lot of money, at least twenty yuan. Principal Zhao observed Liu Xia Lian carefully, but did not see any change in her expression, as if she had only spent two cents.

Liu Xia Lian did not hide it because it was not a secret in the first place.

"To be honest, I own this shop. Principal Zhao and Director Liu can come over if you have any treats."

Principal Zhao was a little surprised: "Such a big store must cost a lot of money, right?"

"This shop doesn't cost much. The decoration, furniture, and kitchen equipment cost just over 20,000 yuan. I just bought a shop in the provincial capital, about 300 square meters, next to the bearing factory. It serves Northeastern Chinese food, iron pot stew. It's currently under decoration and will probably open in three months."

Director Liu said nothing. She originally thought that Liu Jingwen's family was easy to bully, but it turned out that he was a local tyrant. He opened a restaurant worth tens of thousands of dollars at will. It was really frustrating to compare with others. She had worked so hard to climb to the position of director, but unfortunately she would retire in a few years.

After a while, Xu Shiba came up with the dishes.

Principal Zhao was surprised. He knew Xu Shiba, a rising star in the county. He was able to kill eighteen thugs by himself with a knife. Even such a fierce man had to be served.

"Brother Xu, why are you here?" Liu Xia Lian asked.

Xu Shiba said, "If the boss invites Principal Zhao and Director Liu, I will definitely come to receive them."

We ordered four dishes, and eight were served, with a watermelon plate, a dried fruit plate, a plate of cold-mixed motherwort, and a plate of garlic cucumber as gifts.
