Xiao Cui's tractor has arrived, and now the staff is complete and everything is on track, with one driver and two interns.

The three of them were loading the truck. Daqiangzi was very busy and went up to help. The group worked very quickly and finished loading in no time.

Xiao Cui signed the bill of lading and said hello to Liu Xia Lian: "Let's go. Or you can just not go. My apprentice can drive and has good skills. There will be no problem at all."

Liu Xia Lian shook her head: "Everything has to follow procedures. If he can drive, but doesn't have a license, then he can't drive. It's fine if it's an emergency, but there's no rush now. I'll drive, and we'll go to the county together. Once he gets the license, it won't be too late to let him go on the road alone."

Erya went back to sleep. She felt sleepy after dinner. Daya followed her with her hunting rifle. Daqiangzi also put the tractor head he assembled here, got on the truck and went to deliver the goods with Liu Xialian.

It was already nine o'clock when we arrived at the county railway station after driving over a hundred miles. The tractor was not fast to begin with, and the road was full of narrow roads, so it took us three hours to get there.

Boss Yang was getting anxious waiting there, and when he saw Liu Xia Lian coming, he came over to greet her enthusiastically.

"Sister Xia Lian, you are finally here. How about it? Is ten thousand pounds enough?"

"That's enough. There are still about a hundred pounds left, which is considered damaged goods."

This time, Boss Yang had some experience and no longer relied on the loaders at the station. He directly gave ten yuan to Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui and his two apprentices loaded and unloaded together.

Da Qiangzi went over and asked, "Can I help you guys install it? It will be quicker with one more person."

Xiao Cui nodded: "Okay, then hurry up, I'll give you two dollars and fifty cents later."

As they loaded the truck, Boss Yang took out a price list and handed it to Liu Xia Lian: "This is a list of the hot-selling Chinese herbal medicines recently. Although it is not as profitable as the hundred-year-old ginseng, it is better in terms of quantity and long-term benefits."

Liu Xia Lian took a look and saw dozens of varieties, including Sophora flavescens, Taraxacum officinale, Plantain cactus, Herba Pogostemon cablin, Herba Sieb. Neem, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Paeonia lactiflora, Plantago, and so on.

The description is very detailed, stating the specifications, price, acquisition requirements, etc.

Most herbs are only 20 to 30 cents per pound, and they are still dried products, with a profit of about 10 cents per pound. Because the risk of dried products is much smaller, it is still quite good.

"Okay, got it. I'll arrange it and deliver it to the forest farm once we have accumulated a few thousand kilograms of goods."

"Okay, hard work."

It was almost ten o'clock when we returned to the forest farm's turnover warehouse. Da Qiangzi had followed us, but he had no place to stay in the forest farm.

"Xiao Cui, this is Da Qiangzi, a former employee of the forest farm. He has been collecting goods from their village these past two days. You can take him to the dormitory to stay overnight."

The next day, Liu Xialian sent Xu Xiong and an accountant over. Wild vegetables are seasonal and can be purchased quickly. The peak season is only about ten days. After this season, you have to wait until next year. Although there were harvests in previous years, the amount was not large because of the remote location. This year, Heixiaziling Village has made a profit, and every household has sold for dozens of yuan.

The kimchi factory has just received ten new tractor cylinders. Zhang Wang led a team to bring them from the provincial capital's ceramic factory, saving some shipping costs. There are fifty cylinders in each truck, and ten trucks have exactly five hundred cylinders.

Grandpa Xu Changyuan was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Now he had something to do.

Today, 5,000 kilograms of bracken are drying in the yard. Fresh bracken is expensive, costing only 20 cents per kilogram. Xu Changyuan doesn't advocate making kimchi. But Liu Xialian said not to worry, she can find big customers to sell it to.

It was agreed when he took office that my niece would be the factory director and my grandfather would only be responsible for production and technology.

Cost calculations are always necessary. For this two-pound package of fern, packed in a plastic bag, the total cost is at least 50 cents. Now it is tax-free, and the tax will be around 10 cents later, so the cost is about 60 cents. The sales department has not been established yet, so Liu Xialian runs around as a side job, because there are only about 20 people at present, and the daily output is only about 10,000 pounds. With the addition of sources of goods from Zhaojiagou and Heixiaziling, the quantity has also increased a lot. After ten days, the bulk of wild vegetables has been sold.

Wild vegetables, greenhouses, this is not the factory's business, it can only be said to be a small personal business, which lasted for more than 20 days. Excluding the wages of labor and the profits of the collection staff, Liu Xialian's net income was 15,000 yuan. In less than a month, a 10,000 yuan household, that is definitely a big business, but compared with the century-old ginseng, this business is small.

At Heixiaziling, Sister Chunlan and her people also returned.

Daqiangzi was still reluctant to leave. What a nice woman! Hardworking, capable, and considerate.

Qiangzi's mother was anxious to settle the bill: "Qiangzi, quickly settle the bill, how do we divide this money?"

Da Qiangzi listed them one by one: "Boss Liu gave you all the money for the first day. Starting from the second day, you and Dad worked for twelve days, two dollars a day, a total of forty-eight, is this correct?"

Mother nodded: "Yes, there is also money for collection, how much is that?"

"The total amount collected is 623.50 cents. I can't take all of it. How about giving you two 200?"

"Okay, I'll keep it. I haven't paid the levy yet, and it will cost several hundred yuan."

Mother looked at the money in Daqiangzi's hand and said, "You like to spend money recklessly, so I'll save it for you."

Da Qiangzi quickly put it away: "You said before that you would save money for me and marry me a wife. I handed over ten years' salary to you, but where is my wife?"

The mother felt aggrieved: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run the household."

Dad said, "Qiangzi, you are old enough to be in charge of your own household. You don't have to give your income to your mother anymore."

Although the mother was not happy, there was nothing she could do because her son had grown up and was no longer under her control.

The scene was a little awkward, but after all, they were a family, so Da Qiangzi lowered his voice and said, "How about I give you a great fortune?"

"What great wealth? Did you find a hundred-year-old ginseng?"

"No, you two have more than 300 yuan in your hands, so you can collect for Boss Liu. We buy almost all the common herbs in Changbai Mountain, and the purchase price ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 yuan. On average, you can make 0.1 yuan per kilogram. If you collect 500 to 600 kilograms a month, that's 50 to 60 yuan, and 5,000 to 6,000 yuan a year. Isn't this rich?"

Da Qiangzi's father was very excited, because as an old forest worker, he knew very well how many medicinal herbs there were in the mountains. The amount was simply insane.

"But we don't have a car. How are we going to get it there after we collect it? Besides, we don't know how to do it." Mother was still a little worried.

"I have a car head, so just hang a cart on it. You can collect them and I'll deliver them to you. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to collect them. You can go and learn from me for a few days. It's a very simple thing."

Daqiangzi's mother discussed it with his father and finally decided: "Okay, Daqiangzi, go tell Liu Xialian that we want to collect mountain products."
