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

As an old industrial base, Northeast China has many industries in its county towns, including coal chemical industry, petrochemical industry, iron smelting and forging, grain processing, etc. It has a population of over 200,000, which is far more than the population of the forest farm.

Liu Xialian vaguely remembered that at this time, there were factories in the county developing collective housing, and the houses on the first floor facing the street were being sold as storefronts. It was time to go and take a look. If it was suitable, she could buy a few storefronts in the county, and her business would develop. As for hunting in the mountains, it must not be abandoned, but this industry is already at the end of its heroic road. It will have another ten years of glory, and then it will be time to protect animals. Even pheasants and wild boars that harm crops have become objects to be protected by experts.

Liu Xia Lian hadn't caught any fish for several days, and she thought that the restaurant was almost out of ingredients. This was not a big deal, so she quickly went home to break the ice and catch some fish.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw more than a dozen people coming to the door of Baishan Tieguodun. Mrs. Xie invited everyone to come in and sit down.

One person said, "Let's eat first, we are here to look for Liu Xialian."

Xu Shiba took a look and recognized them. Aren’t they from the forest farm security department?

"What's up guys? Boss Liu left a while ago and I don't know where he went."

"Don't you see her big black mule at the door?"

Just at this moment, Liu Xia Lian came over.

"Uncles, aunts, brothers, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was so excited when he saw Liu Xia Lian that he almost cried.

"I will never forget your life-saving grace. If you hadn't helped me today, I would have to treat the whole village to a feast. We don't have much money, so I'll just kowtow to you to thank you for your great kindness."

A dozen men were about to kowtow to Liu Xialian, but Liu Xialian quickly stopped them: "What are you doing? You are my father's colleagues, come to the store and sit down. I will treat you today to calm you down."

Originally, Baishan Tieguodun was taken care of by the Security Department, and now the relationship is even closer.

More than a dozen people sat at two tables, and of course they didn't ask Liu Xia Lian to treat them. Everyone had to save face, and it wouldn't be right to come over and thank others and then ask them to treat them.

However, today's incident was resolved in a minor way. The 800,000 yuan in wages were not lost, and no one in the security department was killed. As for the death of a gangster, it was in vain. Most of the workers only heard later that someone was trying to rob their wages and was stopped by the security department.

Liu Xia Lian and Daya drove the mule cart slowly back. When passing by Zhangjiatun, Liu Xia Lian wanted to see how her eldest sister's family was doing.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw more than a dozen pieces of bacon and dried fish hanging in the yard. This life is quite advanced in the village. There is a sturdy donkey tied to a tree at the gate. It was bought by my eldest sister to pull goods. She doesn't go far, just wandering around the nearby villages. But now the roads are covered with snow, so she rarely goes out.

"Sister, what are you busy with?" Liu Xia Lian and Daya went straight into the yard without seeing Liu Qiuyue.

Hearing the shouting, Liu Qiuyue shouted from the door of the auxiliary room: "It's here, come here."

When Liu Xia Lian went in, she saw that the auxiliary room had been converted into a hatchery and brooding room.

A rectangular frame was nailed on the kang with wooden boards, and inside it was a huge water bag tied with plastic cloth.

Liu Qiuyue is not as bold as Liu Xialian, nor as good at studying as Liu Jingtiaowen and Liu Dongxue, but she is dexterous and can master some technical work very quickly.

There are 200 goose eggs on this simple water bed incubator, covered with a quilt, and they are being hatched.

"Is this easy to operate? It's hard to control the temperature."

Liu Qiuyue smiled and said, "It's not that difficult. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you get it right, the rest will be easier. At the beginning, I only put in the water bag, but no goose eggs. I boiled it for three days and only put in the goose eggs after the temperature stabilized. Now the temperature is basically under control, but it's troublesome. I add firewood four or five times a day, and sometimes I have to get up at night to add firewood. But the eggs are developing well. Now the 200 eggs are all developing, and they will come out in another week."

"Oh, my sister is really amazing. It's only been a month and the eggs are already hatching. Next year, you can become a big goose farmer in the village."

"My mother-in-law has her old problem again. She comes to me every now and then and says, 'You have ten thousand dan of grain at home, but you don't have a long neck. You have a million dan of wealth, but you don't count the hairy stuff.' She keeps hitting me. It's terrible."

Liu Xia Lian nodded: "Although her approach is annoying, what she said is not without reason. If you want to succeed in the breeding industry, you need to put in a lot of effort, and we must pay attention to scientific breeding and not blindly believe in the old breeding methods."

"That's right. I read books and listen to the radio every day. I also take notes and keep records based on my farming experience. Look, I have white hair on my forehead."

Liu Xia Lian went over to take a look, but after staring for a long time she didn't find anything.

"You are only in your twenties. It will take another twenty years for you to have gray hair. Don't daydream. Be brave and do it. In three to five years, you will be a millionaire."

Liu Qiuyue was stunned: "Millionaire, what do I need so much money for? All I want is to prove that I am no worse than men."

"When you run a business, you can't just think about making money. It's more about helping daughters-in-law and other women who have been bullied by their mothers-in-law like you to have their own income. When your family needs money, they won't get into trouble or have trouble with money."

"Second sister is absolutely right."

My eldest sister has prepared quite a complete set of things. This side is the kang room, and next to it is the brooding room. There are also kangs and fire walls. Even if it is minus ten or twenty degrees outside, once the firewood is burned, the temperature here will be over thirty degrees.

"Just after the Chinese New Year, my geese are one month old. Spring comes late here and the weather is cold. I raise them for two months before releasing them. The second batch of geese just started to raise chicks. This way, I can get at least 600 geese in the spring. If I raise them well, they will lay eggs in the same year. Then I can sell the eggs and geese, and the money will be stable."

Liu Xialian and Daya were originally anxious to go back, but Liu Qiuyue was so enthusiastic that she insisted on keeping them for dinner and made vermicelli and fish head stew. Daya was a little worried: "Will Erya have nowhere to eat?"

"Don't worry about it. My mother and sister-in-law Guilan are at home. Erya will go find something to eat. We will be back soon."

Liu Qiuyue asked, "Second sister, I'm afraid your brother-in-law is going to leave. The wages at the forest farm are getting lower and lower. We've held several meetings and told those who have connections to find them as soon as possible. Now that no one is moving, they're thinking of asking for more severance pay. He's struggling right now. What should he do? You're knowledgeable. Can you give me some advice?"

"It is only a matter of time before the forest farm is dissolved. Closing the mountains for afforestation is the general trend. The glory days are gone. My brother-in-law still has many options. If he wants to work in a company, tobacco, water conservancy, electricity, and petroleum are all good companies. Although the salary is not high, you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."
