"Our provincial capital is amazing. It has the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant, a tractor factory, a film studio, a pharmaceutical factory, a hardware tool factory, a bicycle factory, a machinery factory, a machine tool factory, a mold factory, a ceramic factory, a radiator factory, a boiler factory, an optical instrument factory, a cotton mill, a wool mill, a plastic factory, a food factory, a clothing factory, a shoe factory, a sock factory, and hundreds of other large factories. It is a heavy industrial base in the north and one of the largest cities in the northeast."

"Sister, you know so much. How come you know so much?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know what I heard on the radio. It's enough for us to do well in an industry that we are familiar with."

The two of them came to the entrance of Jiaotong Hotel with their luggage. The state-owned hotel was still very organized, and there were still people on duty at midnight.

A middle-aged woman in her forties was lying on the table on duty. Liu Xialian came in and knocked on the table gently: "Sister, sister."

"Oh, sorry, I fell asleep." The receptionist stood up and looked at the two of them.

"Sister, please stay in the hotel and get a room."

The front desk said, "Comrades, this is a hotel. It costs three dollars a night. The guesthouse next door costs fifty cents or one dollar."

"Three dollars is fine, for a room with two beds. Here is the letter of introduction."

In this era, you need to get a letter of introduction from your unit or village before going out. You need to see this thing wherever you go. If you don’t have it, it will be very troublesome. Large state-owned units require this.

"Pay the money and I'll get you the key."

After paying the money, getting the invoice, and getting the key, he took the two of them to a room in the middle of the third floor. The facilities were quite good, with heating, TV, hot water, and a shower.

The front desk said: "If you check out tomorrow, you must check out before 12 o'clock. If you are late, you will be charged for another day. Be careful when using thermos and water cups. If they are damaged, you will be charged for the price."

"Okay, big sister, don't worry."

The receptionist was about to leave, but when she saw the big box Liu Xia Lian was carrying, she turned back.

"Little comrade, don't accuse me of being nosy. Your box is so big, what's inside? Can you open it and let me see?"

Liu Xialian expressed her understanding: "Okay, I'll open it and you can take a look."

When I opened the box, there was a plastic bag inside, full of green peppers.

"This green chili is three yuan a pound, and it's only sold in department stores. Where did you buy it from?"

"I didn't buy it. I grew it myself. I came here just to find customers and see if I can sell it."

"It's not easy. The department store is state-owned and has regular purchasing channels. But I can't understand why. The products sold in the department store are shipped from Hainan. How do you grow them? It's so cold here with ice and snow."

"Use a greenhouse, a plastic greenhouse, and burn a stove inside. This way, the fruits will be harvested smoothly. I'll give a few to Big Sister to try."

Liu Xia Lian was reluctant to give more, so she took about one pound and gave it to the front desk.

The receptionist happily took it and left.

It was a little too late today, so the two of them simply washed up and fell asleep. They didn't wake up until around seven o'clock the next morning, when someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Me, the front desk."

When Liu Xia Lian opened the door, she saw that the receptionist was holding a tray with two bowls of porridge, four eggs, and four fried dough sticks.

"Why is there still breakfast?"

"Shh, don't make any noise. This is the employee meal I got from the cafeteria. Eat it. I'm going home after get off work now."

After a quick meal, Li Damei asked, "What should we do today?"

"I'm going to look for Uncle Yang. These units are confidential, so you can't go. You can make your own arrangements, or go around and inspect the clothing and shoe market in the provincial capital. You'll have to come here sooner or later."

"Okay, I'll go around today and look at the clothing stores and shopping malls here."

The two of them went about their own business, and Li Damei strolled out to the street. There were several shopping malls and stores nearby, and the flow of people was very heavy. Usually, she was frugal and didn't want to spend money on food and drinks, but when she got married, she had to go to the mall to spend money and buy more clothes and shoes. There was no e-commerce these days, and the clothes in the mall were very expensive, three or four times the price.

Liu Xia Lian waved her hand and hailed a three-wheeled motorcycle with a shed on the back.

The driver was in his thirties and a chatterbox: "Where are you going, sister?"

"The new women's armed police detachment built on Kuanping Street on the West Second Ring Road."

The driver was startled and wanted to charge one more dollar, but forget it.

"Okay, sit tight."

The engine was rumbling with smoke as it sped along the road towards its destination.

Liu Xialian looked at the scenery along the way. The provincial capital at that time was known as the largest city in Northeast Asia, with a large population, large scale, and a complete range of industries. The bicycle lane next to it was crowded with traffic, and one after another 28-bar bicycles rushed to the factory quickly.

The First Food Factory, this is where orange soda is produced. It was five cents a bottle. When Liu Xialian was a child, she loved to drink it, but she always had no money in her pocket. Now it seems that the price has not increased yet, it is still five cents, and she has money in her pocket, but she doesn't like to drink it anymore.

One familiar factory after another, familiar places, life is in a hurry, just like the motorcycle tricycle at this moment, speeding by at lightning speed.

It is quite far from the train station to the Women's Armed Police Detachment, almost fifteen kilometers, and it took twenty minutes to finally arrive.

The driver took the money and left. I was thinking of asking for more, but when I saw the place, I decided to give up and not cause any trouble.

There were two female soldiers armed with guns at the door, and there was also a female soldier at the gate next to her, but she was a little older, probably in her early thirties.

Liu Xia Lian was familiar with the route and went straight to the gate to show the order left by Uncle Yang.

The guard immediately called the captain. About ten minutes later, a captain in his twenties came over. He was about 1.75 meters tall, wearing standard leather combat boots. He had a straight figure and looked like an old soldier, but it was obvious that he did not have a cold and murderous aura and had not experienced the hardships of war.

"Hello, Comrade Liu Xialian, I am the detachment leader Zhang Damei, please follow me."

"it is good."

Why are so many people named Damei? It is not because the parents think their daughters are beautiful, but it was the naming style at that time. Many girls were named Kangmei. Later, there were too many girls with this name, so they were named Damei one after another. Damei did not fit the name well, so it was written as Damei.

The orders from the headquarters are of no importance and the detachment has no room for bargaining at all. Disciplined forces are all about execution.

Liu Xia Lian was quickly given a special coach certificate, and with this certificate she could enter and exit the Women's Armed Police Detachment at any time.

Zhang Damei thought that although Liu Xia Lian was good-looking, she might not be qualified to be a coach. Orders must be followed, but there was nothing wrong with making things difficult for her.

"Coach Liu, there happens to be a big competition today. You've come just in time. Please give me some guidance."

"Oh, okay, what are you competing in?"

"Simple, weightlifting, grappling, and shooting." Captain Zhang brought Liu Xia Lian to the training ground.
