Principal Cheng looked at Liu Xialian and fell into deep thought. This student who used to be very playful was actually so generous now. Principal Cheng felt that even if he had 30,000 yuan, he would not be willing to donate it. After all, it would be painful to take real money.

The atmosphere was tense, and Principal Cheng slammed the table and said, "Xia Lian can't pay for this alone. I'll donate half a year's salary, 200 yuan."

Village Chief Li thought about it for a while and said, "I think this can work. Liu Xialian will contribute 30,000 yuan, and the rest is small change. The three villages can contribute a little, and it won't be a problem to collect 18,000 yuan. Whoever doesn't have children, their children won't go to school. Those who have money will contribute money, and those who don't have money will contribute labor. Isn't this what we should do?"

"Okay, uncle, notify me after the discussion is completed, choose a location and prepare to start construction, and I will give you the ten thousand right away."

The village chief thought for a while and said, "Let's hold a meeting with the three village chiefs and the three principals. Once the meeting passes, I will report to the town. Although the town won't pay, it is a big deal after all, and we have to communicate with them."

"Okay, I'll get busy."

He cannot make the decision on his own whether to build a school, or a school for three villages. Consultation is necessary.

Early that morning, Li Hu and Xu Xiong pulled more than 100 kilograms of fish and a dozen geese to the forest farm. Liu Xialian drove a jeep to the greenhouse. The first greenhouse had picked a lot today. 50 to 60 kilograms of green peppers, which were not enough for the two restaurants in the family. They could be sent to other restaurants to make some money. Five watermelons and six melons. In the second greenhouse, five kilograms of prickly ash were picked. They were all big buds, tender and really pleasing.

Soon after leaving the village, Liu Xia Lian took out 400 kilograms of wild vegetable prickly ash from the space, packed them in hemp packaging, and filled the entire jeep. This stuff is quite light, but foamy.

Beep beep beep, the vehicles drove past Li Hu's carriage. They set out first, but were caught up by Liu Xia Lian before they reached halfway.

Li Hu asked: "Was the car that just drove by Sister Xia Lian's?"

"You are talking nonsense. Besides her, who else has a car around here?"

"That's right, but why is this car so full? Let's hurry up and catch up so that we can pick up a few bags if anything is dropped."

But unfortunately, the jeep can only reach a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour even if the accelerator is lightly pressed, and the big blue horse can only run at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour even if it runs at full speed.

Xu Xiong quickly slowed down: "You are so fierce, Qing Ma is five or six months pregnant, how can you tell Sister Xia Lian if there is any problem?"

"It's not that fragile. The delivery will be quicker and it's not likely to be difficult to have a dystocia."

"Stop talking nonsense and slow down." Xu Xiong slowly slowed down, allowing the big blue horse to return to its normal speed.

Besides, Liu Xialian arrived at the door of Baishan Iron Pot Stew soon. It was not even nine o'clock at this time, and the waiters were not at work yet. Li Ganzi looked at the jeep driven by Liu Xialian in surprise and came to pick up green peppers and fruits.

"Sister, did you buy a car? This car is really new, probably about 80% new."

"Of course, it's easy to drive and has plenty of power. The small packet of green peppers is from your store, and the other packet is from the Linyi Fried Chicken restaurant. The watermelons are all left here, and there are still some in the county."

Li Ganzi opened the hemp bag and was surprised to find it was full of prickly ash buds.

"Sister, is this dish also delivered to the store?"

"No, Boss Yang took it. He said a boss in the provincial capital wanted it."

"How much did he pay?"

"I just went over to discuss it today. I think it's only 40 cents."

"It's better not to send it there. Send it to restaurants. We don't need too many. Ten or so restaurants that sell fish are enough to consume your truckload of thorny old sprouts. You can sell it to Boss Yang when they are on the market in large quantities."

Liu Xia Lian was a little puzzled. Although she often ate this wild vegetable, she didn't find anything special about it.

“Is this dish so popular?”

Li Ganzi took out a young sprout and ate it raw. "Let's put it this way. This green vegetable is the freshest wild vegetable in Northeast China. There are more than a dozen ways to cook it. I plan to serve four new dishes: fried eggs with prickly ash sprouts, fried pork slices with prickly ash sprouts, deep-fried prickly ash sprouts, and cold-mixed prickly ash sprouts. They will definitely sell well. This thing is only available in spring every year. It's hard to eat it after the season is over. Come to the store when you have time, and I'll make a few dishes of prickly ash sprouts for you, and you'll know how good they taste."

"Okay, then leave five bags here, use one bag in the store, and have Li Hu and his team deliver the rest to other stores. I'm going to get my car license plate and driver's license today, and I need to invite someone over for dinner. You can arrange it. Just a few simple stir-fries will be fine."

"Okay, sister."

The waiters don't start work until nine o'clock, but Li Ganzi and the two cooks are all there, and Xie Ersao also came early, so making a few side dishes is like catching a turtle in your pocket, a sure thing.

Liu Xia Lian drove the jeep and stopped steadily at the door of the Security Department.

Xiao Dong was on leave today, and Liu Xia Lian temporarily assigned him to come here.

"Xiao Dong, let's go. Come with me to the county town to register the car and get me a driver's license."

Xiao Dong muttered, "Oh my god, there are so many cars on the street now, no one is checking them, why bother? Just drive, no one can stop you."

"That won't work. If the name is not right, then the words will not flow, and if the words are not flowing, then the things will not work. If I don't have a license plate or a certificate, will I feel guilty when I see the traffic police?"

"Let's go. I get angry when I hear you speaking classical Chinese. If I could understand, I wouldn't have to join the army. I would have taken the college entrance examination long ago."

To apply for a driver's license, I needed a letter of introduction from the forest farm, because Liu Xia Lian and Li Damei were both forest rangers at the forest farm. They had a license, but no salary.

When Xiao Dong arrived in front of the car, he fainted: "This is a high-end car, how can you think it's a tractor? There's a blanket covering the back, what is it pulling?"

"Don't lift them, don't lift them. These are wild vegetables, watermelons, and melons. It's too cold, I'm afraid they'll freeze."

"Spring is here, it's not cold anymore, let's have some honey."

Xiao Dong was not afraid of the cold at all. He just wiped the honeydew melon with his hands and started eating it.

When the two returned to the iron pot to stew, Li Ganzi had already cooked two dishes, one was stir-fried prickly ash with bacon, and the other was stir-fried prickly ash with eggs.

The corn and pumpkin porridge is also cooked, and the corn cakes are leftover from last night. The employee meals are not that particular, so they will do just fine.

Xiao Dong looked at the two vegetables in surprise: "I remember that the prickly ash sprouts will take another 20 to 30 days to be put on the market, right?"

"You also said that you remembered it. Those were wild vegetables, and this was grown in a greenhouse, so it's naturally on the market earlier."

Xiao Dong couldn't wait to take a bite and praised loudly: "It tastes really good. This chef should be given more bonuses."

There are two plates of raw prickly ash sprouts on the bar counter at the entrance as samples, for customers to see so that new dishes can be recommended.

After dinner, the two picked up Li Damei and drove straight to the county town. It should be said that the cars these days are really not warm. The roof covered with a tarpaulin leaks everywhere. Fortunately, I was dressed warmly, otherwise I would have been freezing. When we arrived at the county town, Xiao Dong asked, "Where are we going first?"

"First, I'll deliver the food, then take Damei to the clothing store, and then I'll go get a driver's license and register the car."
