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

Chapter 248 Tractor climbing a hill and encountering thieves

I got home early today, only 7pm. After dinner, Liu Xialian arranged, "Tomorrow Daya and I will go to the forest farm to sell goods. The rest of you should go about your own business. Wait a few days for the money, and I will distribute it to everyone."

Everyone said, "It's okay, don't worry."

Zhao Hua asked again: "Sister Xia Lian, do you still want the iron-shoe horse? I plan to go to the horse market in the next two days and buy a few dozen more mares."

"Yes, but I have to do it bit by bit. The breeding of mules and horses is too slow, and I can't see any return for several years. Now I have more than 50 mules and horses, and they can't eat enough every day. There is no income except for the manure."

"Okay, then I'll get less, just twenty horses."

"Well, if we can get a hundred donkeys and a hundred horses in a year, that will be enough. The steps are too big to bear."

Nothing happened that night, but Xu Xiong showed up the next morning. Liu Xialian was quite surprised. It had only been four or five days since they got married. There were a lot of things to do during a rural wedding, such as visiting relatives and thanking friends. In addition, horse carriages were slow these days, so it would take several days just to complete this trip.

"Xu Xiong, why are you here? All the relatives have left."

Xu Xiong shook his head: "No, but I can't delay any longer. I've already taken a month off. If I continue to rest, I'm afraid I won't have any work to do later."

"How could that be? You're back just in time. You'll take over Li Hu's job delivering vegetables these days. Let Li Hu take time to get his tractor driver's license. We have to buy a car soon, and it won't be enough. There are thousands of acres of vegetables, and we can't use them all to make kimchi. If we can't sell them in the first year, don't even think about getting the villagers to grow vegetables again."

"Okay, no problem. I'll take the test after Li Hu finishes it. After all, tractors can travel long distances, while horse-drawn carriages are too limited."

Outside the greenhouse, the tomatoes in Shed No. 3 are ripe. They are bright red and very beautiful. They are packed in cartons, 50 kilograms in a pack, and this truck is loaded with 5,000 kilograms.

For a 25-horsepower tractor, 5,000 kilograms is the normal weight. If you are willing to overload it and pull 8,000 kilograms, that's fine too, but there must be rules in doing business. This kind of small tractor is designed to pull 5,000 kilograms and is not allowed to pull any more.

Daya sat in the truck bed with a tomato in her mouth. A hundred boxes of goods were not much, so there was still plenty of space.

Liu Xia Lian drove the engine roaring as she rushed to the county town. This was to deliver goods for Boss Yang. He contacted large households in the urban area and often ordered whole truckloads of vegetables. In summer, open-air persimmons are processed at around 10 cents, while greenhouse persimmons are naturally more expensive. They are wholesaled to Boss Yang at 20 cents, and he adds about 3 to 5 cents to the price per pound. Everyone makes money.

Because I was going to the cart shop to deliver some medicinal herbs to my uncle Xu Guozhen, I chose to take the small road from the power plant to the county town. There was an uphill road of about 500 to 600 meters, called Tiger Slope. Whether it was a horse-drawn carriage or a tractor, they had to slow down before reaching this slope. Especially for tractors pulling heavy goods, they dared not stop easily. If they stopped, they could not go up again and could only reverse and start again.

Liu Xia Lian was driving when she noticed two men lurking in the bushes. She didn't point them out and continued to drive slowly uphill at a speed of about 7 or 8 kilometers per hour. The single-cylinder engine was powerful and the black smoke was just the beginning.

One of them climbed onto the tractor from the rear and wanted to throw some goods down, but he never expected that there was another person sleeping in the bed.

Daya turned over, picked up the shotgun and shouted: "What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"

The man screamed in fear and jumped down. Daya fired a shot into the air: "Hold your head and squat down. If you run again, I will kill you on the spot."

The two of them squatted down obediently, and Daya jumped out of the car and asked, "Sister, what should we do?"

"It's your first time, so be gentle with the beating."

Liu Xialian didn't stop the car, so she left the matter to Daya. A man with shifty eyes saw Daya put away the hound, and he became so bold that he took out a sharp knife and stabbed Daya. Daya grabbed the back of the knife with one hand, and bent her fingers with force. Then a big-eared post slapped him, and suddenly, two bloody yellow teeth flew out. Another man wanted to run, but Daya kicked him in the butt, and he flew up and fell to the ground.

I chased after him and stomped on his butt twice, only then did I feel relieved.

Daya clapped her hands and said, "You guys are lucky. I'll just beat you to death next time."

The two of them suffered minor injuries and were in a hurry to leave.

Then Liu Xialian shouted, "Stealing vegetables is forgivable, but if you dare to use a knife, you are extremely vicious. If you are caught, send you to the police station."

When they heard this, they ran so fast that their shoes fell off.

The sentences are very severe these days. For something like this, stealing with a knife is sentenced as robbery, starting at eight years, which is basically half of your life.

When they arrived at the carriage shop, the horse-drawn carriages had already gone out to deliver goods. An old man at the door was boiling water. When he saw Liu Xia Lian coming, he greeted her warmly.

"Xia Lian girl, I haven't been here for a long time."

"The avenue I've been walking on these days never passes this way."

The accounting office has been transformed into a simple pharmacy with two medicine cabinets and two medicine stoves at the door with two casserole pots of medicine simmering on them, giving off a strong herbal aroma.

"Xia Lian is here. She was just about to come look for you. I'm running out of medicine these days."

Liu Xia Lian took two snakeskin bags and said, "Poria cocos, Coriolus versicolor, Acanthopanax senticosus, Sanguisorba officinalis, and Polygonum multiflorum. They are all fresh. You can process them yourself."

"Okay, actually it's mainly for storage. If you don't consider storage, fresh ones are definitely better than ones that have been stored for a few years. The secret recipe you gave me for treating stomach problems combined with herbs is really effective. It's almost 90% effective, with only a few that have no effect."

"Erlu told me that someone is targeting you. You are too dazzling. You'd better be quiet and don't let others plot against you."

Xu Guozhen was a stubborn person. It would have been fine if Liu Xialian hadn't said anything. But when she did, she got angry. "Who are they? They treat patients recklessly. They do surgery when it's not necessary and give injections when it's not necessary. They have completely forgotten their oath as doctors for such a small sum of money. It doesn't matter if I can't treat patients. I can learn from others and talk to them nicely. But they asked me to hand over the secret recipe right away. Who are they? Pah."

Liu Xia Lian saw that this uncle had a tough personality, so she decided not to talk about it. She immediately asked, "I have a Polygonum multiflorum plant weighing more than 30 kilograms. Can you help me see how much I can sell it for?"

My uncle was surprised and could only shake his head after seeing it: "I have never seen such Polygonum multiflorum in my life, but I don't know the price. I am a doctor, not a drug dealer."

"Okay, use this Polygonum multiflorum and other herbs to make some medicine for my dad. Since he went to the provincial capital, one-third of his hair has turned white. You know, he is only 46 years old. How can he age so quickly?"

"It's mainly caused by fatigue and too much work pressure. I'll prescribe some Shouwu Fuling tea for you."

My uncle took a knife and cut a piece of thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and added some top-quality Poria cocos and jujube to make a seven-day medicinal tea.
