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

Geese are waterfowl and grassfowl. To raise them well, they need ponds and green grass. My eldest sister's family has dozens of acres of abandoned rice fields. In summer, there is green grass and clear water. These are all unique conditions. When you start breeding, if the conditions are met, you will be 90% successful. The rest depends on details.

Not to mention the villages within a few miles, even the entire county had no veterinarians who raised geese. Liu Xia Lian said, "Sister, it seems that you have to rely on your own research. Treating geese depends on the group. For example, if 950 to 80 out of 1,000 geese are healthy and there is no large-scale epidemic, it is considered a success. As for the very few that have problems, it can only be considered a loss."

"Second sister knows a lot. A few words cured my anxiety. I regret not having enough knowledge when I need it. Go to Xinhua Bookstore in the county and bring me some veterinary books one day. I need to learn more. It's hard for an amateur to raise geese well."

"There are no bookstores in the county that are more professional in this area. Now that the reform and opening up have just begun, many things are starting from scratch. I will think of another way. It's getting late, I'll go back."

"Wait a minute, second sister, take a look at the mountain products I collected."

After leaving the kang room, Liu Qiuyue washed her hands, changed her coat, and came to the room at the door where mountain products were stored. This room had no fireplace and was very cold.

Open a sack and you'll find plump pine nuts inside.

"This bag weighs 100 kilograms and cost me 300 yuan. Please sell it to me after the New Year. I'm worried that it will get moldy in the high temperature."

Pine nuts are obtained from pine cones, which takes a lot of time and is therefore extremely expensive.

"Yes, you can sell it. You can make several cents per pound. I will take it away and sell it to you after the New Year. This is a high-end dried fruit. When you receive it, you must not accept moldy ones. Once moldy, it is worthless and can only be thrown away."

Liu Qiuyue was about to cook, and Liu Xialian said, "I'm going back now, so you don't have to cook for me. It's the New Year, and there's a lot to do."

My brother-in-law Zhang Wang came over and said, "The tractor in the forest farm is for sale. If you buy it, I'll drive it for you. There is still a big market for freight transportation now."

Liu Xialian nodded: "Okay, when the time comes, we will form a fleet. You can train the drivers first."

Liu Xia Lian actually had some concerns. These days there were very few vehicles running freight, so she didn't have to worry about a lack of business, but both people and trucks were at risk of being damaged. The people there were tough and there were big brothers everywhere, so if she wanted to run freight business without some power, she would be courting death.

"Go back, you guys get busy, there's a lot to do during the New Year."

Liu Xia Lian cracked the whip, and the big black mule pulled the carriage home.

The Chinese New Year is in the next few days. Although wages and incomes are not high these days, prices are cheap, and firecrackers are also cheap. We set off firecrackers all day long, and it really works. No wild beasts dare to approach the village, and we can celebrate the New Year in peace.

Liu Xia Lian also held the position of female militia captain in the village. Although her position was not high-ranking, she had a lot of work to do.

The village chief arranged a task and asked Liu Xia Lian to visit and comfort the needy families on the first day of the new year. A total of thirteen households were listed, and the first one to be affected was the bald man's wife. The bald man was eaten by a monster some time ago. The bald man's wife was raising two children alone. You can imagine how difficult it was.

Liu Xia Lian was only assigned the task but no funding was given, so she had to pay for it out of her own pocket. But it didn’t matter since it wasn’t much money anyway.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Xialian got up very early. Liu Jun was on duty again, but the family was used to it. Dumplings were cooked in an iron pot. The first pot was filled with cabbage, tofu and vermicelli. Liu Dongxue and Liu Jingwen liked to eat vegetarian food. The second pot was filled with mutton and green onions, weighing more than ten pounds. This was for Liu Xialian, her mother, Daya, Erya, and Guilan's sister-in-law. Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Daya and Erya were also people who understood the rules and insisted on going back to their own home for dinner. Liu Xialian brought a pot of dumplings weighing seven or eight pounds, took the best dark soy sauce and garlic, and delivered it directly to the door.

The gate of Daya's house was open and Daya changed into new clothes.

"Daya, Happy New Year, time to eat dumplings."

Daya was quite surprised: "Sister, this is too early. It's not even eight o'clock yet and you've already cooked the dumplings? Erya hasn't gotten up yet, so I can't wake her up."

"Okay, you eat first, and then eat after she wakes up."

Arya's protesting voice came from the inner room: "No, no, you must wait for me to eat together, I'm getting up."

Erya quickly got up from the bed, put on her sweater, sat at the table and started to eat. Daya covered the dumplings: "Did you forget what to do before dinner?"

"Okay." Erya went to brush her teeth, wash her face and hands in a bad mood.

The dumplings were piping hot, the garlic and dipping sauce were ready, and they tasted delicious.

Daya asked while eating: "Sister, what work do you have today? Do you want to go hunting?"

"We won't be hunting today. We've worked hard for a year, so let the animals have a rest. After you two finish eating, help get some food. Let's go to the village to visit the needy families. There are still people in the village who can't afford dumplings."

Daya thought of her two sisters who had not been able to eat dumplings in previous years. She couldn't help but feel sad and said, "Erya, eat quickly. After you finish eating, we will go and help."

The weather today is a little warmer, about -15 or -16 degrees Celsius. In this weather, if you carry the dumplings directly to deliver them, they will basically turn into lumps of ice. However, the working people are wise and use an insulated box made of wheat straw, with a wooden box inside, which has a very good insulation effect. You can't deliver too many dumplings at once.

There were more than a dozen households, so the dumplings had to be delivered several times. They were served in large black porcelain bowls, with each household having two bowls of hot dumplings. The villagers were serious about being real and didn't play tricks.

The first family is Baldy's. Baldy is a nice man in the village. He is in his thirties and became bald early. He had an accident some time ago and was eaten to pieces. His wife and two children are left to live a hard life. The originally happy family turned miserable in the blink of an eye.

As soon as I got to the door, I heard the bald man's wife Chunlan crying. Others had meat and dumplings during the New Year. Her family had spent all their savings on her husband's funeral, and now they had nothing to eat. She got up early and cooked a pot of corn and sweet potato porridge for the children. The two children insisted on eating dumplings, so Chunlan cut some for them. Now they were eating sweet potatoes obediently. Chunlan thought of her husband and started crying.

Liu Xia Lian knocked on the door gently: "Sister Chunlan, is Sister Chunlan home?"

Chun Lan wiped away her tears and rubbed her unhappy face with her hands. No matter how hard or tired she was, she could not make others unhappy.

"Hey, Sister Xia Lian, Daya, Erya, why are you here? Please come in quickly."

The house was much warmer, after all, everyone had firewood.

Liu Xia Lian opened the thermal box and took out two large bowls of hot dumplings: "Pork vermicelli and sauerkraut dumplings, eat them while they're hot."

Chunlan couldn't bear to eat any of them, so she gave both bowls of dumplings to the two children.

"Thank you very much, Sister Xia Lian. These days are just temporary difficulties. We can plant crops next year. We still have 20 mu of dry land and 10 mu of paddy fields at home. We can grow food no matter what we plant."
