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

Old Xu was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. He did not ask his son to help him sign up. He got up early in the morning, put on new clothes, packed some cigarettes, spent fifty cents, and took the village horse-drawn carriage straight to the forest farm.

After asking a few people, I finally found the location of the kimchi factory. There were many people coming in and out of the yard. There was an old man at the door with a red armband on his arm that said "Order Keeper".

"Isn't this Old Xu? What are you doing here? Are you here to join the club?"

"Li Laoqi from Lijiatun, why are you here?" Old Xu said as he offered Li Laoqi a cigarette.

"I've only been here for half a month. I had nothing to do at home, so I came here to work as a security guard. I get 40 yuan a month, with food and accommodation provided. This is pretty good, and it's not tiring at all."

"Where can I sign up to plant beans?"

"It's the office next door. Hurry up and go. There will be too many people and you won't be able to get a number. We need 100 offices."

When Old Xu heard this, he was shocked and hurried over.

After I registered my name in my household registration book, the technician asked, "How much land do you have at home? How many acres do you cultivate?"

"I plan to plant all of the forty acres of good land suitable for growing vegetables."

The technician shook his head and said, "No, no, there are too many. Picking beans requires too much manpower. During the peak production period, 40 acres of land will require 40 to 50 people to pick. How can you hire so many people? Plant 10 acres of beans, 5 acres of cucumbers, and 5 acres of oil beans. This way, the peak production periods are separated and you won't be caught off guard when the time comes."

Old Xu nodded: "Okay, I can't be the only one making money, everyone should make some."

Old Xu registered his detailed address, and the technician arranged: "After you go back, plow the land where you grow vegetables, use more manure and more wood ash, and burn all the weeds in the land to avoid leaving any insect eggs."

"Okay, don't worry, I'm an old hand, I know everything. Do you want to give me seeds?"

The technician smiled and said, "Don't worry, Old Xu. We have to check the land and make sure it's suitable for planting before we give it to you. The seeds for growing beans will be distributed free of charge, and cucumbers will be given seedlings when the time comes. As for the seeds for oil beans, you have to find them yourself. Seed stores don't sell them."

"So that's how it is. I'll go back and wait for news." Old Xu went home happily.

A woman in her thirties at the back said, "I'll sign up, I'll sign up, my family grows ten acres of cucumbers, I'm an expert in growing cucumbers."

"No problem. The estimated price of cucumbers is about three to five cents. Is that acceptable?"

The woman opened her mouth in surprise. "My dear mother, if it's five cents a pound, I can produce six thousand pounds per acre, how much is that? Isn't it three hundred? I can accept it, I can accept it. I'm not after money, I just want to support Xia Lian. Xia Lian makes us women live with our backs straight."

The first three vegetables to be promoted were scientifically proven. Long beans and cucumbers are used to make pickles. They are easy to grow and do not require any complicated technology. There are farmers in the village who are skilled in growing vegetables. Liu Xialian never believes in those experts in the office. They are all just empty talkers. They don't even know what beans look like. How can they grow beans?

Beans are planted in spring and begin to produce in summer, which can last for 40 to 50 days. One crop after another, growing everywhere, this period is called the childhood nightmare of rural children. They eat beans in the morning, at noon, and at night. They eat beans today, tomorrow, this month, and next month.

Cucumber is also a very easy vegetable to grow. If it is planted properly and managed well, it can be harvested crop after crop, with an output of 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms per mu, or even as high as 10,000 kilograms.

Pickled cucumbers and some chopped peppers are delicious, crispy, sweet and tasty.

Long beans and cucumbers have the same characteristics: they take a short time to process, are easy to process, and have a high price. As for oil beans, they are a unique variety in the Northeast and are basically not seen in the interior, but they have thick flesh and a fragrant taste. They can be stewed with pork ribs or braised with noodles. In the Lijiatun Village Office, Village Chief Li is working with Liu Xialian.

"Xia Lian, it's not that I have a low level of awareness. There is always a sequence for this matter. Let's develop Lijiatun first, and then go to Mangcun and Zhangjiatun to recruit members."

"That's how it is now. Of the first 100 households, 70 are from Lijiatun. But farmers have to pay grain taxes, which is a big deal. Growing vegetables does not violate the policy, but it cannot delay paying grain taxes. My idea is that each household cannot grow more than half of its land on vegetables, and half must be left for paying grain taxes."

Village Chief Li took out the Land Law and put it on the table: "Xia Lian, you are still a little conservative. The law clearly stipulates that vegetables are crops and can be grown on basic farmland. How much public grain can be paid? One acre is only about 100 kilograms, so keeping a quarter of the land is enough. What's more, every family still has 20 to 30 acres of ordinary arable land, which can also be used to grow corn, and the yield is still good. Our Northeast is rich in products and the land is fertile, which is not comparable to the barren land in the interior."

Liu Xialian nodded: "Okay, the village chief is right. But don't worry, give the kimchi factory some time. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Wait until I have established sales channels. After planting thousands of acres of vegetables, they must be sold. If they are planted well but cannot be sold, the villagers will definitely curse my ancestors for eight generations."

Village Chief Li nodded and said, "That's for sure. I was impatient. Take your time. When I finish my spring ploughing in the next few days, I will take some samples out and I guarantee that I will get you a big order."

"Okay, I'll give you a salary and give you a sales manager position when the time comes."

"Hurry up and apply by phone, and inform the post office by telegram. Don't be too honest. Give gifts when necessary. If you can't save your face, I'll go."

"Okay, I've paid over the phone, and it should be installed soon."

While Liu Xia Lian was discussing the planting of raw vegetables with Village Chief Li, Li Damei and Teacher Xu were having a blind date at the forest farm state-owned restaurant.

The situation was a little awkward at first. Teacher Xu asked, "What do you like to eat? Do you want some soda?"

Li Damei looked at the teacher in front of her who was about 23 or 24 years old. He had a fair complexion and was obviously not from the countryside. He was quite thin and about 1.75 meters tall, which was considered to be acceptable.

"Just order a chicken stewed with mushrooms and a plate of green peppers fried with bacon. Don't drink soda, just two glasses of boiled water."

The two of them sat down at a table in the corner. There weren't many people eating at noon, so it was quite quiet, perfect for talking about love.

"Damei, I heard that you run a clothing store."

"Yes, one in the forest farm and one in the county town, selling clothes and shoes." From your accent, you don't sound like a mountain person, where is your hometown?"

"My hometown is in a suburban county of the provincial capital, in the heart of the Songliao Plain. My parents work in the city, and I have been here for almost a year."

Li Damei felt disappointed when she heard this. Although he was good-looking, he was from the city. He came here just to gild his reputation. He would probably leave soon after just to get some experience.
