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

Xu Guozhen cleared his throat, "It's actually very difficult for a cook to cook. If you don't cook enough, it won't be enough, and the drivers will curse you. Most of the time, you cook too much, and the food will be wasted if it's not finished. Two big dogs can't eat much either. I suggest you buy two piglets and put them in the back pen. Let them eat leftovers and wild grass and vegetables. Then you can kill them and sell them for money during the New Year, which will be a small income."

"It's a good idea. You can discuss the details with Captain Li. He makes the final decision on these small matters."

"Good boss."

At noon, twelve large horse-drawn carriages entered the yard one after another. When Li Shaoling saw the big black mule, he knew that Liu Xia Lian had arrived. He immediately handed the carriage to Li Hu and went to the kitchen, where he saw Liu Xia Lian and Li Damei helping to cook.

"Sister Xia Lian, did you hunt a Siberian tiger in the forest farm yesterday?"

"Yeah, does it spread so fast?"

"We were chatting with the driver at the power plant. He said that a few women from the forest farm hunted a man-eating tiger weighing 600 to 700 kilograms yesterday. I thought that you are the only ones in the entire forest farm who can hunt tigers."

"What a coincidence. I didn't want to take action, but who knew that the tiger would eat people. A female worker was only 20 years old and was getting married next month. She was eaten half by the tiger. The beast is very ferocious. If we don't hunt it down, more people will be killed."

"Who says it's not true? The night before last, a woman from a nearby village came home late and was robbed by a wolf. When they found her, her chest was empty. It was so cruel."

Liu Xia Lian nodded solemnly: "Spend some money to install a solid gate for the yard, and lock the door at night. Don't be careless. The brothers follow you to make money. Safety comes first. Also, be careful when getting up early and traveling in the evening. It's not worth it to hurt the animals."

Li Erlu laughed at the kitchen door and said, "If any wild beast sees us, they will have to avoid us. We have big shovels, axes, and old cannons on every car. If they don't come, they will get away with it."

"Yes, safety must be ensured. It is better to be prepared than to be without it for a day. Today, I would like to treat everyone to pork stewed with vermicelli."

The drivers first have to unload the mules and horses, tie them to the trough, feed them with hay, and then wash their hands and come to eat. This is a set procedure. The drivers make good money, but it is also hard-earned money. If you don't have patience, you really can't do the job. The animals must be taken good care of, otherwise they will give up.

Two tables were set up and the bowls were placed on the table, and they were just waiting for the chef to say it was time to eat.

Liu Xia Lian first brought a bowl of dishes and two steamed buns to the tea stall at the door.

"Uncle, it's time to eat."

"Oh, thank you for bringing it to me. I won't hesitate to do so."

Old Zhao turned around and took out some bulk sorghum wine: "I don't usually have any hobbies, I just drink a little."

"Uncle, you drink and I'll go eat."

When Liu Xia Lian came back, the food was ready and everyone was there to start the work.

You can't drink while working, especially for those rickshaw drivers. There is no limit to how much they drink. What else can they do if they are drunk? So it is a strict rule that drinking is strictly prohibited in the morning and noon, and drinking less at night.

Liu Xialian short-term tea cup: "You are all my elder brothers, uncles, and uncles, all elders, older than me, I will use tea instead of wine to toast you all."

"Come on, cheers." Everyone was very happy. This young female boss had a more generous personality than any other man.

"Our goal is simple. We need to do our job well and earn some money to support our families. There is no point in saying those empty words. So I just want to emphasize one thing. You should follow Captain Li's arrangements on a regular basis. Don't do things outside the box, don't bully others, drink less, and don't fight."

Then Li Hu said: "What should we do if others bully us or beat us?"

"Why ask? Just beat him up. I told you not to bully others, but we can't be bullied either. OK, finish this bowl and start eating."

They were all young and strong men with big appetites. They would eat three or five steamed buns at a time. Pork stewed with vermicelli and big steamed buns. This was the living standard of the county magistrate.

While eating, I heard a woman outside scolding: "Listen to me, who of you pulled a few onions from me yesterday? You will choke to death if you eat them. Your stewed chicken is not fragrant, and your stewed meat is not tender."

There were not many local people in Northeast China in the 1980s. Most of them came from Hebei, Henan and Shandong. There was a great cultural integration, and many intangible cultures were formed. Among them, swearing in the streets was a relatively popular folk culture.

Li Erlu frowned and said, "Whose old woman is this? She's not done yet."

"Forget it, don't bother with her. She is just cursing at the street, not at us. Why do you care about her?"

As he was cursing, his singing tone changed and he started talking about Wenhou's ancestors and family, which made people want to go out and beat him up.

Liu Xialian asked: "Did you steal the onions from her house?"

"Everyone shook their heads. That's not true. There are plenty of green onions in the kitchen. Just run a few hundred meters and steal some green onions from her."

Li Shaoling smiled and said, "She actually wanted to sell us her vegetables. I took a look and found them to be too ordinary. The price was higher than the market price, so I didn't buy any. I guess she got mad, so she came to provoke us. I guess she just wanted us to beat her up so she could extort a few dollars."

How poor can rural women be in this era? If their family conditions are not good, they may not have even a penny on them. What Li Shaoling said is not impossible.

"Li Hu, Xu Xiong, the two of you go take the three hundred kilograms of green onions from the kitchen and put them out to dry in front of the door. Don't pay any attention to her."

"Okay." The two put down their bowls and went to dry the onions. Hundreds of kilograms of onions were dried in front of the door and instantly the fire went out.

Li Hu and Xu Xiong had just returned when the fight started again.

"You stole my cabbage and your mouth got rotten from it. Hey, hey, hey, hey."

Uncle Zhao was eating pork vermicelli at the door with a delicious aroma, which made the woman who was cursing on the street even more angry. But Uncle Zhao was already seventy years old and had seen all kinds of storms, so he didn't care at all.

After dinner, the drivers went to rest for a while. Liu Xia Lian brought Li Damei to the door. The old woman opposite was cursing until her voice was hoarse.

Liu Xia Lian waved her hand, and the woman didn't care when she saw it was just a maid, and walked over with her hands on her waist.

"Come, auntie, have a bowl of water. You must be tired of scolding me."

"This is just the beginning. Back then I cursed in the streets for three days and three nights without eating or drinking."

"Look, my sister and I are not good at swearing, but sometimes we need to swear. How about I ask you to do it?"

"Is the food free?" The woman looked at the pork stewed with vermicelli in Old Zhao's hand. Her throat moved up and down and her saliva flowed out.

"It doesn't matter what you eat, but you have to pay. Two dollars a time. Do you want to earn some money?"

"Really? Do you have money?"

Liu Xia Lian took out a hundred or so Big Unity notes from her pocket, which amounted to one thousand yuan. The woman was stunned for a moment. She was also a woman. She was in her forties and had very little money on her. How could this girl in her early twenties have so much money?
