Grandpa was busy, so Liu Xia Lian asked someone to call Cui Yongchuan over.

"Brother Cui, the factory is short of transportation personnel and drivers. Why don't you take a few apprentices with you to learn for three months, and then take the exam before going to work. Do you think that's okay?"

Cui Yongchuan said: "Boss, you should just call me Xiao Cui. Calling me brother makes me uncomfortable."

"Okay, take four apprentices in the first batch. For every one you train who successfully obtains a license and can drive independently, you will be rewarded 50 yuan. Don't worry about fuel. Go and practice when you have nothing to do at night. I will teach you carefully. The factory needs a lot of drivers, and you will be the team leader by then."

"Okay, boss, I'll make sure to complete the task."

"You know my rules. We don't have the habit of bullying new students here. You should take good care of them and teach them well. They will all work for the factory in the future."

"Don't worry, I will teach you well."

The recruitment notice was sent out and the next day the people were in place. Tractor drivers were paid 40 yuan per month during the three-month internship, and 80 yuan per month after obtaining the license, plus bonuses.

They are all former employees of the forest farm. As the forest farm has stopped working one after another, they all have to find a way to make a living. Tractor drivers have a hard life, but they earn a lot of money, with monthly income of over 100 yuan, which is equivalent to two months' income for an ordinary employee.

The problem of cargo transportation will gradually ease, and the main difficulty still lies in sales.

Liu Xia Lian had an idea and suddenly thought of her two sisters in Shimenzhuang, both of whom were capable people.

Shimenzhuang is the provincial capital. If we can open up the market in Shimenzhuang, many problems can be solved at once.

Coincidentally, the newly installed telephone was in place, and Liu Xia Lian called her second sister. It took a long time for the call to be connected, and then she heard her second sister panting.

"Second sister, what are you doing? I hope I am not disturbing you."

"Xia Lian, what are you thinking about? I'm practicing Sanda in the office and you haven't contacted me for a long time."

"You are a busy person, I am afraid to bother you. I planted some greenhouse vegetables, watermelon, green pepper, beans, asparagus, and wild vegetables such as prickly ash and fern. I also processed a lot of hot and sour beans, kimchi, pickles, etc."

"What, greenhouse vegetables? What does that mean?"

Liu Xia Lian explained it in detail to her second sister for a long time, and her second sister understood.

"The watermelons have been harvested for more than a month, why didn't you tell me earlier? This place is inland, and there isn't much of a market for wild vegetables from Northeast China like prickly ash and fern. But hurry up and send me a few thousand kilograms of the greenhouse vegetables and kimchi you mentioned. There's a vegetable market on the underground first floor of the mall, and they can be sold every day."

"Okay, how much do you want for each? Just make a list and I'll go to the city railway station tomorrow to send you a railway freight. How much do you want for each?"

Zhao Shan was a businessperson after all, so she wanted rare dishes that Shimen Village didn't have, such as watermelon, green peppers, beans, and asparagus. As for prickly ash pickles and sour beans, she only asked for 100 to 200 kilograms.

Zhao Shan said, "Third sister, when you have a large quantity of kimchi and pickled vegetables, please come to Shimenzhuang. There are dozens of large factories here. I have some face and can introduce your pickled vegetables to the canteens of the large factories. A canteen with 10,000 people must produce at least 1,000 kilograms of pickled vegetables a day."

"Okay. I'll definitely go there when the time comes. I'll set up an office in Shimen Village."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xialian came to the warehouse and arranged for Shuian to pack vegetables for long-distance transportation in cardboard boxes. Watermelons were a bit of a headache, as the cargo was severely damaged, and the stevedores were common among the logistics workers. Two hundred watermelons were packed, and a thousand kilograms of long beans, a thousand kilograms of green peppers, and five hundred kilograms of asparagus were taken. "

"Load them and divide them into piles. Xiao Cui will come over to lead the team to load them into the truck."

"Ok."

When Liu Xia Lian came out, she just saw Manager Yang who was in a hurry.

"Sister Xia Lian, a big order, a big order. A big customer in Liao Province has ordered 10,000 kilograms of bracken and offered 28 cents. I only need to make 30% profit. Please take delivery quickly. 5,000 kilograms will be enough."

"Okay, let's stick to the old rules. I'll deliver it to the forest farm or the county train station. But 10,000 kilograms is not easy to get. The three villages only deliver 2,000 kilograms a day, and there are other orders."

"Then you should harvest more. Changbai Mountain is two to three thousand miles long, and there are a lot of ferns."

"Okay, I'll go to other villages tomorrow and expand the harvest area. I don't dare to get too many vegetables, for fear that the weather will change and I won't be able to sell them out."

"This order is urgent, please hurry up."

"Okay, I'll go back and make arrangements and try to get everything ready for you tomorrow afternoon."

Liu Xialian drove back to Lijiatun. These two days, Daya was addicted to driving a tractor. She was plowing the fields with the tractor head that Liu Xialian had just bought. Her skills were not good enough, so no one hired her. She could only plow the dozen acres of mountain land of her own family and the mountain land of Liu Xialian's family.

From a distance, Liu Xia Lian shouted, "Daya, come here."

Daya couldn't hear it because she was driving, but Erya next to her saw it.

"Daya, sister is calling us, drive over quickly."

Daya drove the tractor over quickly. Liu Xialian shook the banana in her hand and said, "I brought it from the county. You and Erya can eat it. We have to go out for a while. Let's set off for Heixiaziling now."

"Okay." Daya ate a banana while reversing the car and loading the cargo bed. She made up for her lack of skills with strength. After connecting the carriages, Liu Xia Lian also prepared change, woven bags and other items.

The three men were fully equipped, got on the tractor, and drove towards Heixiazi Ridge.

Walking more than 30 miles southeast along the rammed earth path, you will arrive at a very remote village called Heixiaziling. The village is not big, with only 50 to 60 households and 400 people, men, women, old and young. The village is naturally formed and is located on the edge of the forest. The land here is fertile and there are many wild vegetables. The most famous one is fern, which has a very high yield. However, due to its remote location, basically no one comes to collect the goods. The villagers live a decent life. Most people think it is too far and are not willing to go out to sell wild vegetables.

Daya was driving a tractor, and the sound of the engine quickly attracted the attention of the villagers, and immediately attracted a dozen children to watch.

The villagers were very alert when they saw that they were strangers. Someone asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"We are from Lijiatun, looking for Daqiangzi who works at the forest farm. Where is his home?"

"It's right there, not far ahead."

Daya stepped on the accelerator and did a tailspin, almost crashing into the wall of Daqiangzi's house. It was a good location on the side of the road at the entrance of the village.

The noise of the engine had already alarmed the people in the yard, and a man about thirty years old came out. He was about 1.7 meters tall, slightly hunchbacked, and bald at a young age.

Liu Xia Lian jumped off the tractor: "Brother Qiang, your house is really hard to find."

Da Qiangzi rubbed his eyes and said, "Isn't this Sister Xia Lian? Why are you here?"

Daqiangzi is also a child of the forest farm, belonging to the second generation of foresters. His father is an old employee, and he is also an employee. He originally thought that he would cut trees in the forest farm for the rest of his life, but he never thought that he would be forbidden to cut trees.
