This time, Liu Xialian was too lazy to go back and pull it out. The door of the warehouse was closed, and there was no one around. A thick straw mat was laid on the ground, and three thousand kilograms of watermelon and two thousand kilograms of prickly ash were directly released from the space. The watermelons were fine, and they were piled neatly, but the prickly ash was a mess, not neat at all, and it was impossible to sell it like this.

After covering the greenhouse with tarpaulin, Liu Xia Lian drove back to Lijiatun. It was already dark, but the lights in the greenhouse were bright red. From a distance, she could see two dark shadows standing on the side of the road. Their broad bodies looked like two black bears.

Liu Xia Lian slowed down as two dark shadows came running towards her.

"Sister, why did you come back just now? We were so worried." It turned out that Daya and Erya were waiting for Liu Xia Lian at the intersection.

Liu Xia Lian stopped the car and patted Erya's head: "Some things delayed me today. There are some packing ropes and belts in the car. Can you help me get them?"

The three of them each took a bunch of things and brought them to the rest shed. Surprisingly, half of the female workers were still there. Some were drinking soup, and some were chatting. The work of growing greenhouses was not tiring, but sometimes it was a bit boring.

Shuiqin and the other three are already ready and will go to the forest farm’s turnover warehouse tomorrow.

Liu Xia Lian came to the leek shed. The first crop of leeks were growing averagely, but the yield per acre was excellent.

"Sister Chunlan, arrange for a few people to cut leeks. Get 200 kilograms. We need to take them away tomorrow morning."

"Ok."

After Liu Xia Lian finished making arrangements, she took Daya and Erya back to the old house for dinner.

Several female workers said: "I will work overtime, I will work overtime."

The wage for an hour of overtime is 20 cents, so female workers all like to work overtime.

Those who are not married say: "Those of you who are married should stop joining in the fun and go home to be with your husbands. Let us young people do the work."

The married female workers said, "It's spring now. The old men are making such a fuss. It's better for them to just stay here and be quiet."

Chun Lan said: "Everyone who has nothing to do should work overtime, and try to resolve the battle in an hour."

The female workers sharpened their sickles very quickly, and they cut the chives very sharp. A total of eight female workers were left. Two people bundled, and six people harvested. There are also skills in harvesting. You can't leave too much, but you can't take too much soil. The first batch of chives is fragrant and good for making dumplings and chive boxes. In order to facilitate sales, they need to be weighed when bundling. The standard one pound per bundle is neatly made.

At the old house, my mother and sister-in-law Guilan prepared two pots of dishes and a soup. Li Hu, Xu Xiong, and Li Xiaofei had just returned from fishing.

A pot of cabbage, vermicelli and tofu stewed, and a pot of wild boar meat stewed with potatoes.

Mother looked at Liu Xialian and didn't know what to say: "I just got you a jeep a few days ago and asked you to go to the forest farm. Today you got a small four-wheeler back. How much can this small car pull? The bucket is bigger than a horse-drawn carriage."

"It's a 25 horsepower, single-cylinder diesel tractor made in Luoyang. It's powerful and can pull about 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms. All the 50-horsepower tractors have been given to my brother-in-law's fleet, so Daya has nothing to play with. This tractor is small, and it's just right for Daya to drive."

"How much wild vegetables do we need to harvest to make back the investment? The harvest will start soon. How many points do you plan to set?"

Liu Xialian said, "Let's eat first. We are all hungry. I will make arrangements after we eat."

The appetites of these people were great. In just half an hour, they finished two pots of vegetables and one pot of corn porridge. This was mainly due to Daya and Erya.

Daya and Erya went out on patrol carrying flashlights and maces. The two of them had a strong deterrent effect. Even fearless animals like black bears and wolves would run away when they saw Daya and Erya.

Guilan went to wash the dishes. Liu Xialian said to everyone, "We have found a market for wild vegetables this year. I plan to set up three fixed points. My eldest sister will be responsible for purchasing in Zhangjiatun, my mother will be responsible for purchasing in Lijiatun, and Li Erlu's wife will be responsible for purchasing in Mangcun. Li Hu and Xu Xiong will take time out in the next few days to promote in other villages and ask them to come to these three purchasing points to sell. Fishing is our old business and we can't give it up. After this busy period, both of you should go and get a tractor driver's license."

Li Hu nodded: "Okay, no problem."

Li Xiaofei scratched his head: "What about me?"

"You should continue to be an assistant to Li Hu, Xu Xiong, and Sister Guilan. Don't worry, you will not be forgotten about the bonus, and don't worry. Your current task is to grow, not to work hard."

Li Xiaofei nodded: "I understand, don't worry, I will do it well."

My mother was a little worried: "When the wild vegetable production is the highest, the price will also drop the most. You have to pay attention and remember to stock up."

"Don't worry, I have a plan. I plan to buy 10,000 kimchi jars, and wait until the cheapest time to buy a lot of wild vegetables to make kimchi, and then sell them after the season is over."

Mother almost fainted: "No, Xia Lian, you are really a genius. You can think of such a good idea. This idea is very good and profitable. But have you thought about the risks? Large-scale pickling requires the supervision of a master chef. If it is not done well, how many vegetables will be ruined in ten thousand jars?"

"I remember my grandfather was a master at making kimchi. Didn't he work in a kimchi factory in his early years?"

"You are such a filial child. Your grandpa is already 62 years old, and you still want him to come out of retirement?"

"Sixty-two is still young. Scientific research shows that people can stay healthy only if they work harder. Go back and let Grandpa know someday, and I'll go and ask him to come out of retirement. Besides, I'm not just making money for myself. I plan to export the kimchi and earn foreign exchange for the country. What's more, the workers will mainly be from our village. By then, our village will be the richest in the surrounding area, and it will be a great honor to talk about it."

"Okay, come on, you're just a big liar. Foreign devils are very smart. How could they buy your kimchi? I can't guarantee whether your grandfather will come or not."

"There are many kinds of foreign devils. Some of them love kimchi. You'll know when you make it."

Li Hu's blood boiled after hearing this: "Sister, when will our fishing business expand?"

"There's no rush for fishing. After we open a few more restaurants, I'll buy a fishing boat, and you two can fish on the Songhua River. Then I'll hire two more people to expand the team. We don't need to catch too many fish, just enough for our own restaurants."

Li Hu was very happy at the thought of being able to use a large fishing boat. This was considered a promising future. By then, he would be the richest man in the village.

"It's getting late. You three should go check on the greenhouse and get some rest. Tomorrow morning, take Shuqin and the others to our warehouse."

Li Hu, Xu Xiong and Li Xiaofei got up and went to check out the greenhouse.

Daya and Erya came back carrying steel maces.

Daya touched the new tractor in the yard and liked it very much: "Sister, are you going out again tomorrow?"
