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

"To the south of this road is the railway station, and to the north 50 miles is the power plant. The power plant needs coal to generate electricity. Now is the peak season for electricity demand, and the power plant's few tractors alone can no longer meet the demand. Can you organize a horse-drawn team to transport coal? The freight rate for a truckload of 2,000 kilograms is ten yuan, and it will be paid monthly."

Liu Xia Lian looked at both sides of the road and said, "I'm afraid this road is not very smooth. It's impossible that no one would do such a good thing."

"To be honest, a few days ago a driver was bitten by a wolf and his two mules were destroyed."

"It's a 50-mile journey, and we can only do one trip a day. If we have more, the animals won't be able to handle it. Ten dollars may seem high, but it's actually not. We need at least two sets of vehicles to cover this kind of distance. Two large animals and one person each make ten dollars for one trip. Besides the food for the people and the horses, plus the high risk, it's really not worth it."

"Well, I'll add two dollars for one ton of goods, so it's twelve dollars. That should be fine, right?"

"Okay, deal. How many tons do you need per day? I'll take a look so I can find a truck."

"The power plant needs a lot of coal, and even dozens of trucks are not enough to carry it. It's not difficult for you. Just carry a dozen or twenty tons a day and it will be fine."

The year 1980 was about to arrive, and with it came the beginning of the erection of electric poles in rural areas and the access to electricity. The power plants needed an enormous amount of coal.

Director Xiang left a business card for Liu Xia Lian and asked her to come over at any time to sign the contract. The driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away in the jeep.

Coal transportation is a business that is extremely rich these days. If you can catch it, you can make a lot of money. Zhao Dashan, a professional in Spring Festival Gala sketches, also made his fortune by transporting coal. Of course, coal transportation is full of black and blood like coal. This business is not something that everyone can do. If you can't control the situation, you can't make money, and you may even lose your car and horses.

Liu Xia Lian was very happy. She didn't expect to encounter such a good thing. She took the three wolves with her and slowly returned to the village.

Li Damei said, "Sister, you only have one car, and we need to transport fish, how can we get ten cars? And for heavy goods, we need two big sets. Do we have to buy ten cars and twenty animals?"

"This is a business model. You don't need a car to start a business. Once you have a source of goods, you just need to find a big truck. Then you can make a lot of money just by taking the commission."

Li Damei only understood half of what she heard, after all, she was decades behind in knowledge.

The sky gradually darkened and the night grew colder. The big black mule slowed down a little and walked with a clattering sound.

Li Damei suggested: "It's so boring along the way, let's sing a song."

Arya clapped her hands in support: "You start first."

Li Damei still has some talent. She has the best voice among the four people in the carriage.

I sang a song called The Moon Represents My Heart, which was very nice. Daya cleared her throat and said, "Let me sing the second song. I can't sing anything else. I'll just sing Unity is Strength."

Daya's voice was rough and she just yelled it out. After singing for a few minutes, Erya said, "Sister, please stop singing. Your song scared the wolves away. I still want to go hunting."

Daya kicked Erya angrily and said, "If you can sing, then sing. If you can't sing, then stop nagging me."

Erya played with her fingers in grievance. She really couldn't sing.

Liu Xia Lian sang a sweet song, and the group talked and laughed. They traveled more than 80 miles and rested three times on the way. They arrived home at nine o'clock in the evening. Without disturbing anyone, Liu Xia Lian and her group went straight to Li Damei's house to rest.

The three dead wolves scared Xiao Hei from Damei's family so much that he didn't dare to get close at all.

Li Damei suggested: "Sister, we can't let go of the fishing. Let's go fishing tomorrow morning."

"All the big snappers within a dozen miles have been caught, and the fish income will be significantly reduced in the future. Ordinary fish worth a few cents per pound will become the main attraction."

Li Damei got up early in the morning and assisted the butcher in dealing with the three wolves by the river, while Liu Xia Lian drove the mule cart back home.

Mother was waiting anxiously: "Xia Lian, you are finally back. Your father sent someone to tell you that Jing Wen has been discharged from the hospital. Someone is needed to take care of the family, and I can't leave."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The skin injuries on my arms and legs will heal in a month and a half. I just might feel a little unhappy after being beaten. But I've already sent the three of them to jail."

"My second daughter is really good. Jing Wen's personality is like that of a girl, a little weak. The village chief came to you yesterday and said that he found a large mare with a chrysanthemum-colored hair. It's four years old and has only given birth to one foal. It can pull carts and plough the fields. But the price is a little expensive. It costs 3,800 yuan and he won't sell it for a penny less."

In fact, mares don't have to do much less work. Under normal circumstances, they give birth once every two years, which means you need to pay attention a few months before giving birth.

"Okay, I'll go take a look this afternoon."

As the business expanded, one large carriage was no longer enough.

There wasn't much meat left after processing the three wolves, only about 100 kilograms in total. The butcher said, "Xia Lian always gives a lot, I'll help with the cutting."

"Okay, wolf meat is rare, so I guess it won't be long."

The villagers heard that there was wolf meat for sale. The price was not low, two yuan per catty. Soon dozens of people came, some selling two catties, some selling one catty, and they sold it for about a hundred yuan.

The butcher took a set of offal and went home happily with two pounds of good meat.

Daya and Erya cut some internal organs to make bait, and together with Li Damei, they found an unfamiliar river and started fishing.

Ground traps, casting nets and fishing are the three current methods of catching fish.

Just as Liu Xia Lian said, as the weather gradually gets colder, the fish move to deep waters, and the harvest from fishing or using a net is not as good as before.

There are fewer aohua and catfish, and the main fish are carp, bighead carp and crucian carp. These three types of fish are cheap, or you can go further to the mountains and rivers to catch fish.

While the three were fishing, Liu Xialian picked up two pounds of wolf meat and drove a mule cart straight to Mang Village. This time she was looking for Li Shaoling from Mang Village.

Li Shaoling and his wife were processing corn stalks.

Liu Xia Lian stopped the carriage and came over to greet them: "Brother Li, sister-in-law, I'm working. I killed a few wolves last night. You can have a taste."

"Well, get some straw to feed the horses and mules. We have four big animals at home, and they eat and drink a lot every day. This wolf meat is very nutritious. Eating it will make your body hot."

Li Shaoling's wife stopped what she was doing and brought a small stool to Liu Xialian. Li Shaoling asked, "Sister Xialian, what's the matter?"

"I've found a long-term job to transport coal to a power plant. It's fifty miles from the train station to the power plant. I need a truck with two large sets of gear and two thousand kilograms of coal. I'm planning to hire a truck driver. What price do you think is appropriate?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shaoling immediately sat down next to him and lit a cigarette.

"I've heard of this job. It's one trip a day. It's not tiring, but it's a bit dusty because coal has dust. They used to charge seven yuan a trip. It's easy to find a car, but it's not easy to get paid. The public money is indispensable, but the delay is huge, so the boss has to pay in advance."
