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

Chapter 456: Everything is in place, the wedding begins

Liu Fuhong walked in. The uncle stared at Liu Fuhong with wide eyes and cursed: "You naughty child, you are talking nonsense again. You only earn 3,000 yuan a month, and the whole Liujia Village combined does not have such a high income."

Liu Fugang now manages five restaurants, so the total revenue is not less than 3,000. Liu Xialian gave him a look, and Liu Fuhong shut up. The older generation didn't understand these things, and there was no benefit in talking too much. He immediately took out a pack of Renshen cigarettes and gave them to everyone one by one: "Uncle, Dad, Fifth Uncle, come on, light up."

The men began to smoke, Liu Xia Lian went back to the old house to prepare food and entertain the guests, and Liu Fuhong cleaned the rooms for the three elders.

Liu Fuhong asked: "How did you get here? There's no one to lead you. I'm really worried that you might get lost and end up begging on the street."

The uncle was furious. He knew that the brat was trying to piss him off on purpose, so he said, "We have cars and trains these days, so what's there to worry about? Back then, we could have traveled all over the country on foot. It's no big deal. Besides, I was there when the fourth son settled down and got married. I personally brought the fourth son's wife home. That was more than 20 years ago. It's been so fast. In the blink of an eye, the next generation is getting married."

Liu Fuhong's father also asked Fuhong: "How have you been doing recently? What kind of work did Xia Lian arrange for you?"

"I arranged for my wife to work as a goose-raising supervisor at a goose farm. The job is easy, except that the geese's cries are so noisy that it hurts my head. Now I've just gotten used to it. My wife earns 90 yuan a month. I drive to deliver goods during the day and patrol the goose farm at night. I earn 120 yuan a month. My job is not too busy. I only make one trip a day. In my spare time, I go to the woods to pick mushrooms. I can make 10 or 8 yuan a day."

Uncle Wu looked at Liu Fuhong in surprise and asked weakly, "You are not bragging, are you? You were a car soldier, and your favorite thing to do is to brag."

Liu Fuhong put it in his jacket pocket and took out 20 or 30 big unity notes: "Uncle Wu, did you see that? That was in the past. Now I can easily make more than ten yuan a day, so I am not short of money."

Uncle Five is only ten years older than Liu Fuhong, in his early forties. His two children have grown up and he is in need of money.

"Now that you mention it, I want to settle down here."

"Don't do that. The honeysuckle and salvia miltiorrhiza base that Xia Lian built in her hometown still depends on you to maintain. The salvia miltiorrhiza will be harvested next year, and you will get hundreds of dollars in dividends by then. You can make money here, but it's really risky. I was almost killed by a black bear twice."

After Liu Fuhong showed off his money and wanted to put it back, his father reached out and said, "Give me two hundred. Xia Lian is getting married, and I decided to give more gifts. He has done so much for our family."

In the past, Liu Fuhong would definitely not be willing to give it, not even his biological father would. Two hundred yuan is equivalent to half a year's income.

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago. This is five hundred, and you can keep the rest to buy food, clothes and drinks for the children." Liu Fuhong took out a stack of big unity banknotes in front of his father, spit some saliva on his fingers, and nodded for a long time before handing it to his father.

Uncle Wu was so envious of it. Money, this is a good thing.

"Fuhong, do you think this honeysuckle and salvia miltiorrhiza can be used together?"

"Yes, it must be possible. Others dare not say it, but you may not understand how Xia Lian does things. She is very open, so this matter is settled. I estimate that next autumn, when the salvia miltiorrhiza is harvested, it will be the time for our village to take off. And dried chili peppers can be sold for hundreds of dollars per acre. Mr. Sun from Zaozhuang went back to his hometown to promote it a few days ago."

The uncle slapped his thigh after hearing this and said, "Xia Lian is such a good kid. Why would she need to ask another village for help with such a small matter? Our village can handle it. We still have thousands of acres of land."

"That's it. Xia Lian is still worried that you guys are not willing to plant it, so she's going to find someone else."

The group chatted while cleaning the room. The old brothers cleaned up two large kangs, and the bedding was ready so that everyone could sleep on it.

Uncle said, "It's time for dinner. Let's go over there and ask Xia Lian if we can grow peppers in our village."

When the group came to the old house, Liu Xialian's mother was cooking.

Stewed wild boar meat, rooster, and steamed rice.

Uncle Wu looked at the firewood in front of the kitchen door and said with envy: "The firewood you have here is really good, all of them are miscellaneous wood as thick as an arm, while ours is just weeds and straw."

Uncle came to Liu Xia Lian to ask about the cultivation of dried chili peppers.

"Xia Lian, we still have land in our village. Is it enough? If not, I will mobilize people to plant it for you."

"Uncle, do you know why I'm looking for those villages west of our home?"

The uncle shook his head: "How would I know that?"

"We have many hills and slopes here, but not enough flat land. Peppers grown on hillsides are not very productive. People can earn more than 300 yuan per mu of dried peppers on the plains, but we can only earn more than 100 yuan per mu, which is not much more than growing corn. After much thought, honeysuckle and salvia miltiorrhiza are more cost-effective. You will understand once the salvia miltiorrhiza is harvested next autumn."

The uncle nodded, "I see. It seems that I was impatient. I saw what others were planting and thought about planting the same thing. The three water pumps you installed for the village some time ago played a big role. After the peanuts were harvested, most people planted honeysuckle and salvia miltiorrhiza according to the reported amount. Some land was planted with carrots. After only one irrigation, the harvest was great. The yield per mu was 4,000 to 5,000 catties. Unfortunately, the price was too low, only three cents per catty. One mu sold for more than 100 yuan."

Uncle Er said, "Is three cents a pound still cheap? In the past, the land would be idle after the peanut harvest in September and would not be cultivated again until the next spring. Carrots can be planted in September and harvested in more than 60 days. The benefits are quite good."

"In fact, if you pickle carrots into pickles, the benefits will be much better, but sales will be a big problem."

Two days later, on November 10th, at daybreak, Liu Xia Lian's place began to become lively.

Li Damei came over and helped pack up.

Li Shaoling led ten large horse-drawn carriages, carrying a lot of things, including refrigerators, color TVs, sewing machines, bicycles, large wall clocks, large wardrobes, large armoires, tables, chairs, benches, etc., which filled up the ten large carriages and were estimated to fill all five new houses.

There were twelve bridesmaids. Li Damei couldn't be a bridesmaid because she was getting married, so she followed with a small bag and acted as a makeup artist.

There were two guests who came to see the bride off. One was Liu Xialian's uncle, Director Xu of the Forestry Bureau, and the other was Liu Xialian's great-grandfather, Village Chief Liu.

Weddings in the village are still held according to the old customs. Liu Jun is marrying off his daughter, so many relatives and friends came to his place to drink in the wedding wine.

Zhao Hua's relatives went to Zhao Hua's place to attend his bride's wedding, and both sides held the banquet.

The village heads of several nearby villages came, and even several county leaders sent representatives.
