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

Li Ganzi smacked his lips. It was only the middle of February in the lunar calendar and the fields were still covered with snow. And there were actually watermelons to eat?

"How do you set the price? Watermelons are rare in this season."

"In the summer, it was five cents a pound. Now it's so difficult to grow crops. Three cents a pound is not too much, right? You decide for yourself. You can't ask for too much, and you can't ask for too little. You have to be flexible."

Li Hu and Xu Xiong were in charge of the fish delivery. They kept a ledger and recorded the amount delivered to each restaurant and the amount paid. They reconciled the money in the big bag every day. Most of the time, they didn't make much money. After all, regular fish were only a few cents per pound. Delivering a hundred pounds of fish a day would only make 30 to 50 yuan. If there were abalones, they would make more than 100 yuan. It was not easy to make money. Every penny was hard-earned.

Next stop, the forest farm security department.

There were about ten people in the office, and the rest were out on duty.

After the last incident where their house was almost robbed by four robbers, the security department is now much more vigilant. In the gatehouse, there are five or six gangsters hanging in front of Xiao Liu, with a cigarette in his hand and his eyes wandering around.

Then a beautiful woman came over carrying a large sack, and there seemed to be something round inside.

"Xia Lian, why are you here?"

"I came here to bring you some watermelons. The watermelons grown at home are ripe, so I brought a few for you."

Xiao Liu laughed and said, "I would believe you if you said it was a landmine. Watermelon, you are kidding. What season is it now?"

"How about we make a bet?"

"Okay, if you lose I'll stand on my head and eat shit. If you lose give me two hundred dollars."

"Okay, that's it."

At this time, Xiao Dong came over and asked: "What are you two doing? You are chatting so lively."

Liu Xia Lian said, "Xiao Dong, you came just in time. Xiao Liu and I made a bet. I said there was a watermelon in the bag, but Xiao Liu didn't believe me. If it was a watermelon, he would stand upside down and eat his shit. If it wasn't a watermelon, I would give him 200 yuan. You can be a witness."

Xiao Liu said: "No, I am the one who doesn't keep his word."

Liu Xia Lian said as she opened the sack, revealing huge watermelons inside.

Xiao Liu was jumping up and down: "Hey, hey, hey, ah, ah, why did I lose, oh my god."

"You can't deny your debt. Everyone is watching. Otherwise, how can you survive in the security department?"

Xiao Liu walked towards the toilet crying. After a while, he took out a sticky yellow strip in his hand. He stood upside down against the wall and started eating it with relish. There was yellow stuff at the corners of his mouth and on his teeth. He looked disgusting.

Everyone was surprised. This is a real man who does what he says.

Xiao Dong said, "You really are eating. Hurry up and brush your teeth."

Liu Xialian pulled Xiao Dong and said, "Help me carry the watermelon into the house and mind your own business."

"Just watch him eat like this, don't let him get sick from eating."

"This kid has three hundred and sixty-five tricks. You will lose a lot if you trust him."

Dad Liu Jun was chatting with his colleagues in the office. The security department is very relaxed most of the time. Of course, when it comes to risking their lives, they really risk their lives.

Liu Xia Lian asked Xiao Dong to bring the sacks to her father's office, and then took two to the big room.

"Dad, uncles and aunts, the watermelons at home are ripe, so I brought a few for you to try."

Everyone exclaimed: "This is incredible! We can eat watermelon in this season, is this true?"

"of course it's true."

Liu Jun has become numb to the fact that his daughter always has these weird ideas.

When I cut it with a kitchen knife, wow, it was bright red, but the seeds were still white.

The melons in the shed lack sunlight, so they are definitely not as good as those outside, but they are so rare these days that you have never even seen them, let alone eaten them. Everyone had one piece, and they enjoyed it so much.

Liu Jun discovered that there were four larger ones hidden under the desk.

"Girl, what are these four doing?"

"When you have nothing to do in the evening, you can take it to Director Li. They won't make a big deal about the things grown at home. Just eat them."

"That makes sense. If I had been as cunning as you when I was young, I would have been very smart a long time ago."

"You are not old yet. Huang Zhong was over seventy and still fought against Guan Yu. You are only in your forties. You are not old at all."

When Liu Xia Lian came out, Xiao Liu had already washed his hands, rinsed his mouth, and was standing guard there obediently.

"No, why weren't you surprised just now?"

"I could tell something was wrong right away. Where did you get the pollen mud? It's for feeding bees."

Xiao Liu was so surprised that he couldn't say more: "That's terrible, how come you know everything, oh, the cake buyer."

Liu Xia Lian drove the donkey cart to the third stop of the trip, the police station.

Zhang Suo was smoking leisurely, looking relaxed and contented.

"Xia Lian, why are you here? What's the matter?"

"Look at what you said. Can't you come and see Uncle Zhang if you have nothing to do? The watermelon at home is ripe. The police and the people are like one family. Bring it over for everyone to taste."

When the sack was opened, four large watermelons weighing more than ten pounds rolled out.

Zhang Suo laughed and said, "Am I dazzled? Is this really a watermelon?"

If it were cigarettes or alcohol, Chief Zhang would definitely not accept them, but the watermelons were grown by the villagers themselves, and Liu Xia Lian took them openly, so there was nothing wrong with that when expressing her condolences to the comrades.

"Cut it open and share it among us."

While eating watermelon, Zhang said, "Xia Lian, uncle is just about to go and thank you. During this period, you helped me catch those wanted criminals, which was a great contribution. You have been transferred to the county as a deputy director, and you will take up the position tomorrow. From now on, Old Xu will be the director here."

Liu Xialian recognized him. Old Xu was in his forties and was from her grandmother's village. In terms of seniority, he was of the same generation as her mother, so she should call him uncle.

Chief Xu nodded slightly as a greeting.

Zhang was very happy and said cheerfully: "Xia Lian, if you go to the county town in the future, feel free to come to me if you have any questions."

"Uncle Zhang, I feel relieved when you say that. Tomorrow my county's Linyi Fried Chicken restaurant will open. I'd like you to come over for a drink and show your support."

Uncle Zhang shook his head like a rattle. "If it was at the forest farm, I would go there without saying anything. But when I get to the county, I have to follow the county's rules. I can't lead a team without integrity. I can't go there no matter what. But don't worry, I will arrange a few plainclothes officers to go there tomorrow. If they see anyone who dares to disturb social order, they will be arrested without mercy."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhang." Liu Xia Lian greeted everyone and turned away.

Director Zhang looked at Old Xu and said, "Her mother is from your village, right? Try to build a good relationship with her in the future. This girl is very capable and knows when to advance and when to retreat. If she develops well, you will have a chance to be promoted."

Old Xu flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "Come on, I'm almost fifty years old. I just want to retire peacefully as the director of this institute. Isn't it tiring to think so much?"

Liu Xialian also sent two big watermelons to the clothing store. The little girls were so excited that they shouted and came out with kitchen knives to cut the watermelons. Someone suggested, "How about we do a little activity, where every purchase of five yuan or more will be rewarded with a piece of watermelon?"
