Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt
Chapter 269 Big Corn on Black Soil
Chen Guoqing is the village chief and also a local entrepreneur. His family runs a roast goose restaurant and also does food wholesale.
The family was not in a hurry to go back, and followed Liu Xia Lian to Lijiatun to visit the roe deer farm and pheasant breeding.
After reading it, Chen Guoqing shook his head and said, "What a pity! They are all good things, but they are not large enough. After all, it is seven or eight thousand miles from here to Pengcheng. If there are not enough, there is no way to transport them."
Liu Xialian smiled and said, "We have everything here, but all industries are just starting out, except for one thing that is very abundant: corn."
Corn is maize. At least half of the land around here is planted with this stuff, mainly because it is simple and easy to grow.
"There are many kinds of corn. There are two delicious kinds: sticky corn and fruit corn. Do you have any of them here?"
"Waxy corn has a high starch content and is planted in large quantities, while fruit corn is planted in very small quantities."
"Well, sister Xia Lian, I am determined to help you make a fortune. I see that the corn is about to mature. You can find a way to get a few train cars and transport it from the Northeast to Pengcheng. I have a way to resell it in Hong Kong. Needless to say, this business can make a few million in just two or three months in the summer. With these millions of start-up capital, your goose-raising business can take off."
Liu Xialian was tempted. The price of corn cobs here was only four cents, and they could be sold at a wholesale price of 30 cents per cob in the port city. Of course, Chen Guoqing would make a portion of the profit. The key to the problem was that train cars were not easy to get. Freight train cars transported coal, wood, iron ore, etc. The train cars used to transport fresh vegetables were preferably those attached to passenger trains. During this period, vegetables were delivered by freight trains, that is, other people's train cars.
"It can be done. I'll go ask about the train wagons tomorrow. The freight shouldn't be expensive. The main thing is that the resources are hard to find. Without strong connections, you can't get the train wagons. Brother Chen, go back and wait for my call. It's still a while before it's ready."
Chen Guoqing nodded: "Okay, no problem. We'll go see the Siberian tigers tomorrow, and we'll take the train back the day after tomorrow."
Liu Xia Lian was very busy, so the two parties said goodbye and went on with their own business.
That day, Liu Xia Lian was handling business at the kimchi factory. Li Hu and Xu Xiong drove two tractors to the county town to deliver goods. When they came back, Xu Xiong came over and asked, "Sister Xia Lian, when are we going to go into the mountains to dig ginseng?"
Liu Xia Lian looked at Xu Xiong: "What's going on? Are you short of money?"
Xu Xiong nodded. "Well, my wife's younger brother, my brother-in-law, and I are good friends. He was unlucky. He got up early in the morning to weed the cornfield and encountered two wolves. They attacked him from the front and back. He was injured all over his thighs and arms. He spent more than 3,000 yuan in the county hospital, all of which I paid for. My wife is pregnant again, and there is not much money left at home. I was a little panicked."
Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "You have been through a lot, so why are you panicking? It's okay to spend some money. The Songhua River is spawning fish right now. Wait a little longer and I'll buy you two a boat after the fishing season starts. Your daily income will definitely exceed 100 yuan. Ginseng harvesting in the mountains has not been stable recently. Sometimes we can't find large quantities, so we only make a few dozen yuan per trip."
Xu Xiong was a man with experience in life, and he knew that what Liu Xia Lian said was true. Moreover, he was very satisfied with his fixed income of 150 to 160 yuan a month from delivering vegetables every day. It was just that the money was never enough.
As he was speaking, the phone on the table rang.
The two of them were quite tactful and saw Liu Xia Lian go outside to answer the phone.
The call was from Uncle Seventh, the Taoist priest who loved playing with guns, from the 750th Bureau.
"Xia Lian, are you busy recently? I want to ask you for help with something."
"Oh, whatever it is, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can, and if I can't, I will show my concern for you."
"The bureau is having some trouble. A group of strange insects have appeared in the area where the western prairie and desert meet in Inner Mongolia. They are similar to the ant lions we played with when we were kids, but they are much bigger and can easily swallow a horse. The locals call them sand demons and are terrified when they hear about them."
"Wait a minute, let me explain. You mean that the ant lions grew to several tons in weight and ambushed in the sand to eat the herdsmen's horses."
"Yes, they are not picky eaters. They bite humans, cows, sheep, horses, and even carts. A few days ago, I heard that you got four pieces of good material in Panjiayuan, and each piece was 100% accurate. This shows that your perception is far superior to that of ordinary people. The biggest difficulty of this sand demon is how to find it. Once you find it, it is not a problem to destroy it."
"Are you sure this thing doesn't have some magical properties and can be physically destroyed?"
"One hundred percent sure, the No. 12 elixir is specially designed to treat all difficult and complicated diseases."
"Okay, I want seven twelve-gauge shotguns."
"Don't worry, these are just minor problems. We have plenty of advanced weapons. Wait for my news and be ready to go anytime in the next few days. The rewards are generous. If you find a Sharimo, I'll give you three thousand."
"I knew you were stingy and would never change. I brought my team to fight for you, and you just paid me this little money."
"I have infinite blessings. I am a monk, how can I have much money?"
Liu Xialian hung up the phone and called out, "Li Hu, Xu Xiong."
"Hey, sister, what's the matter?"
"There's a big job, confidential. There's a monster in the desert. We'll pay three thousand if we find one. Let's go as a group, and we'll split the profits as usual. Are you willing to go? But you have to think about it, especially you, Xu Xiong. Your wife is pregnant, so this trip is not small."
Xu Xiong patted his chest and said, "It is precisely because my wife is pregnant that I have no worries. I have offspring now, so why should I worry about chicken feathers? Take my brother-in-law for example. He was bitten by a wolf while weeding in the field. There is no place in the world that is not dangerous. If something really happens, it is fate. Don't worry, we are not in the business of blackmailing people."
"Okay, then, go ahead and do what you need to do. Wait for my news."
That afternoon, Liu Xia Lian received a call from the county railway station, saying that the steel shipped from Shimenzhuang had arrived and asked her to pick it up quickly.
Liu Xialian did not waste any time and drove her jeep straight to the county railway station. She packed the mace in a cardboard box and opened it in a deserted place. She was amazed. The steel mace was octagonal, with a 20-centimeter-long handle. It had an integrated steel shaft inside, and bearings and steel pipes were added to the outside as the handle, which was covered with rubber and wrapped with anti-slip tape.
In other words, the handle of this steel mace can be rotated, and it is relatively easy to use as it spins around, and it can reduce the recoil when you smash the opponent hard.
The two 80-centimeter round shields have a one-centimeter-thick steel plate inside, covered with cowhide on the outside, and have two handles inside for easier holding.
"Tsk tsk, Second Sister really put a lot of effort into making this set of mace and shield. It's really nice."
Liu Xia Lian ran to the Linyi Fried Chicken Restaurant to take a look. Well, the kitchen had turned into a school. Four new trainee chefs had come and were practicing. The employees had all gained weight because the ingredients that were not cooked well could not be served to the customers, but they could not be thrown away either, so they had to be made into employee meals.
