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

Liu Xia Lian didn't bring an accountant, so the village accountant came to help reconcile the accounts, and there were no mistakes at all. My uncle is quite good in this regard.

"Uncle Wu, has your salary been paid every month?" Liu Xia Lian shouted.

Uncle Wu put out his cigarette and came over, saying, "Yes, we have given it out every month. But the villagers are really stubborn. You tell them one thing and they insist on doing another. The first batch of honeysuckle planted last year has already started to produce flower buds, and the villagers are not very enthusiastic about watering and fertilizing. Your uncle has called out on the loudspeaker several times."

"The reason why I drove so many cars here this time is to reassure the villagers. They are worried that I won't come to harvest the herbs after they are grown. In fact, it is me who should be worried. I paid for the seedlings. If they don't grow them well, I won't even make back the money I earned from the seedlings."

Uncle Wu shook his head quickly, "That's definitely not the case. Although some farmers don't plant carefully, 80% of them do a pretty good job. Also, the salvia miltiorrhiza planted before the New Year has sprouted and grown well. It looks like we can dig it up in the fall. Ordinary farmers are short-sighted. Once they see the money, they will plant carefully. Xia Lian doesn't need to worry. After all, planting is a long process."

"Uncle Wu is right. The thousand acres of land in our village can only be regarded as an experimental site. Once we make money, we need to develop at least 5,000 acres in the surrounding villages to ensure the yield."

The uncle was also shocked when he heard about 5,000 acres: "We are not in the Northeast. 5,000 acres requires at least five or six villages. Are you sure you can sell it? After all, medicine is not food."

"Yes, don't worry, uncle. I always do things prudently. Five thousand acres is far from enough. Both of these medicinal herbs are used in huge quantities and are not enough to sell. But I can't guarantee that they can sell the ones they plant later."

"Don't worry about following trends. There are always people following trends in everything. The village head talked to me a few days ago and asked me to ask you if you can open a factory in our village."

Liu Xia Lian touched her bulging belly and said, "There are too many things to do during this period. I will make arrangements after I give birth. The main thing is to see if honeysuckle and salvia miltiorrhiza can develop."

As they were chatting, an exaggerated voice came from outside: "Xia Lian, when did you get here? Oh my god, it must have been thousands of miles away, how did you get here?"

The second aunt has arrived. She is in her forties, younger than my father. She is the second girl in the family and married to Dongjiazhuang in the neighboring village.

The reason for the discord with my brothers from my natal family is very simple. There are too many weddings and funerals, and I can’t afford the money spent on social interactions every year.

Liu Xia Lian introduced Zhao Hua: "This is Second Aunt, calling for help."

Zhao Hua took out a cigarette and shared it with others: "Second Aunt, come here, have a smoke."

Second Aunt is a heavy smoker, her fingers are yellow from smoking. She lights a cigarette and takes a leisurely puff.

Although Liu Xia Lian understood her difficulties, she was wrong. Aren’t your brothers from your natal family your backers?

Seeing that everyone was here, my aunt's family was dozens of miles away, so she definitely wouldn't come. Liu Xialian took the bag, which contained nine red envelopes that had been packed in advance.

"Uncle, uncle, and second aunt, I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts for you. I'll just give each of you a red envelope."

Zhao Hua took the red envelopes and distributed them to each household, a total of nine people. As for the one for the eldest aunt, he gave it to the second aunt, who was closer to the eldest aunt.

Second Aunt took the red envelope, put the cigarette in her mouth, took a quick look at the money, and was surprised: "I heard that Xia Lian got rich, I didn't expect she really got rich, I can't make this much money in a year, do you need a gatekeeper for your factory? Let me be your gatekeeper."

The eldest lady was so angry that she curled her lips and whispered to the sixth aunt: "Xia Lian got married, but she didn't give out a single child. Now that Xia Lian has given out red envelopes, she is more happy than anyone else to take them."

Second Aunt must have heard it, but in today's situation, she couldn't fight back even if she was beaten. Three hundred yuan was not even her family's income in a year.

The eldest uncle still had to take charge of the situation. He looked at his watch and said, "It's already past noon. Third and fifth sons, you two should ride your bikes to Beishan to bring some wine and meat to our parents' graves. When you come back, we'll have the feast."

"Okay, let's go then."

My fifth uncle spent a few hundred dollars to buy a second-hand motorcycle. Even without a license plate, it was still very convenient for him to open a business in the village.

The uncle made very thoughtful arrangements. All the drivers and escorts came. Mao Luzi arranged a few younger generations to watch over them and would give them other things after the guests had finished their meal.

The old rules apply here: men and women sit separately because women basically don't drink or smoke, while men do. If there are those who don't drink or smoke, they can sit at the table with the children.

Liu Xia Lian had specially arranged for Zhao Hua not to get drunk, but he really got drunk. He drank one kilogram of 53-proof sorghum liquor, and his face became as red as Guan Gong.

This is also a lesson. I would rather go to the grassland to drink with the herdsmen than come to Shandong to drink with these uncles and aunts, who are all old drunkards.

Especially my uncle, he is a very experienced person. He can drink a pound of wine without his face getting red, and his speech is not affected at all.

Liu Xia Lian didn't have a big appetite, so she was full after eating two steamed buns and a little meat.

At this time, the village director came.

The uncle said hurriedly, "You're just in time. Come sit down and have a drink. Today we're having good wine, good meat, and good cigarettes."

"Village Chief Wang is here."

"I'm not afraid even if the village chief comes. The meat is from my own pigs, and the wine and cigarettes are bought by my niece. Not a penny from the government."

"It's not about that. He wants you and Director Liu to come over and see if we can open a factory here in our hometown."

When the uncle heard the village head calling him, he had to give him some face. He looked at Liu Xialian and said, "Second niece, are you full?"

"I'm full, let's go and take a look."

At the village brigade, Township Chief Wang was walking back and forth. He knew Liu Xialian's situation very well. Before the Lunar New Year, the company bought hundreds of carloads of canned goods from Linyi alone, which helped many factories to revive. Moreover, the company never owed a penny of payment for the goods. Its business reputation was unmatched.

When Liu Xia Lian came in, she saw the village head Wang. He was very young, no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

"Old Liu, Director Liu, nice to meet you." Village Chief Wang extended his hand to shake hands with the two men.

"Village Head Wang, nice to meet you." Liu Xia Lian responded politely.

Township Chief Wang asked, "Director Liu, are you here to consider investing in building a factory?"

Without waiting for Liu Xialian to answer, the uncle pulled the village chief Wang's arm and said, "What are you talking about at the brigade? I'm going to have dinner. Let's drink and smoke together. We can talk about business later."

"I'm still at work, I can't drink."

"You're talking nonsense. I've never heard of this rule. Come on, are you upset that I didn't wait for you?"

"Okay, let's drink together."

This is the rule in the village. If you are too unfamiliar, it will be difficult to carry out your work.

After the meal, Mayor Wang asked Liu Xia Lian if she wanted to come back and open a factory. The land was free and there was a six-year tax exemption.
