Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 52 No time for idle chatter, it’s important to do business

Xu Haijun immediately took out 20 bullets. Li Long did not refuse and took him to the kitchen. He pointed at the pork that had been cut into pieces and asked:

"Where do you want it from?"

"Of course it's fat meat." Xu Haijun said as a matter of course.

There was a borrowed scale in the kitchen. Li Long weighed more than four kilograms of fat for him, cut a piece of thin wire, passed it through the scale, tied it up to make a handle, and handed it to him.

"Don't go back yet. Let's go to your room and tell your son about it."

The meaning of "谝传子" is just chatting, so Li Long naturally had no objection.

"Li Long, tell us about your hunting experience." Another girl, Qin Hongyan, asked curiously.

Wu Shufen sat on the kang with her head down and looked at her shoes. She had not originally wanted to come, but when Qin Hongyan called her, she actually agreed.

But it became awkward once she came here, so she, who was originally the most lively person in the group, has now become the dull one.

Li Long pretended not to see her. After listening to Qin Hongyan's question, he continued to make the pig tooth "dagger" and said:
"It's very simple, just like the target shooting we participated in with the militia. We just need to hide near the wild boars and wait for them to come out. There are more than a dozen wild boars in that group. When they arrive and start to dig up the grass roots to eat, we just need to aim and shoot."

"So simple?" Xu Haijun asked in surprise, "Don't we need to chase after dogs like in the story, or be prepared for a surprise attack by wild boars?"

"I didn't touch it. But this wild boar is pretty powerful." Li Long raised the fangs in his hand, "But how powerful can it be as powerful as a gun? After my friend shot it, it rushed towards us, and I shot him one after another, and the wild boar fell down."

It was explained very simply, but everyone was not satisfied and asked Li Long to explain it in more detail.

As Li Long's ex-girlfriend, Wu Shufen keenly discovered that Li Long had really changed. In the past, Li Long could tell a story that was only 30% of the time. But this time, although it was a very eye-catching matter, he just said it in a few words.

This doesn't look like Li Long!

Just at this moment, there were footsteps in the yard again and a knock on the door.

"Come in." Li Long was a little surprised. Who would be so polite?
It was Gu Xiaoxia who pushed the door open. She was also startled to see the people in the room. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted and whispered to Li Long:
"I heard that your family exchanges bullets for meat. I want to exchange some..."

"Okay." Li Long nodded and said, "Follow me."

Wu Shufen watched the two people leave and close the door, and was stunned for a moment.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Xu Haijun coughed lightly, trying to break the silence. The other man smiled and said:
"If it's as simple as Li Long said, I'm tempted. Guns are easy to find anyway. How about the navy, let's go into the mountains in a few days?"

The person who spoke was Huang Siping, nineteen years old, at the age when one is not afraid of anything.

"It's not that simple." Xu Haijun had heard his cousin talk about the things in the mountains. Although he had never been in the mountains, he knew that there were many unknown dangers. He shook his head and said:

"Li Long may not want to be public, or he may not want to..."

"He doesn't want us to be as prominent as him?" Huang Siping sneered, "The mountain is not his. If he can hunt wild boars, we can do it too."

"Then you have to know where the wild boars are, right? We are not hunters, how can we find the location of the wild boars? Where can we ambush? When will the wild boars appear? Who knows?" Xu Haijun was calmer after all. He asked a series of questions, and Huang Siping was silent. "Think about Gu Ermao and Tao Dayong." Xu Haijun said, "Li Long is different from before. Who treats him as a fool? You are the fool. I think it's right to have a good relationship with him."

Li Long took Gu Xiaoxia to the kitchen and weighed four kilograms of pork belly for her. Gu Xiaoxia knew how to read the scale and said hurriedly:
"I don't have that many bullets, just two kilograms."

"The rest is for your dad. Your dad took such good care of my brother back then, this little bit of meat is nothing." Li Long hung the meat on a wire and handed it to her. "By the way, how is your dad now?"

"Much better." Gu Xiaoxia couldn't refuse, so she took the meat and handed the bullets in a paper bag to Li Long:
"Here are the bullets. Take them. I am leaving."

It was not dark yet, so Li Long just sent her to the gate, watched her leave, and then returned to his east room.

"Xiaolong, what are you going to do next?" Xu Haijun asked with a smile when he saw Li Long come in.

"I plan to go to Wucheng in two days. I also want to go to Shicheng." Li Long was telling the truth. He had to borrow a carriage anyway, so he couldn't hide it. Tao Dayong's arrest for selling fish reminded him that the consumption capacity of the county was there anyway, so he might as well expand the market in other places.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and spring will come soon after the Chinese New Year. I guess the land division will be decided soon, and it will be too late to prepare by then.

You have to earn enough money before the land is divided, so you have to make more trips. It will be hard work before the New Year, but it will be easier later.

"You're still running?" Huang Siping was a little surprised. "Gu Ermao and Tao Dayong have both been arrested. Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Li Long smiled. "They were caught because they couldn't see the situation clearly. Why wasn't Daqiang caught? I told Daqiang before I went into the mountains that when selling fish, if you find something is wrong, run away. It's better to run away than to give up the fish. Look, Daqiang ran away, and his brother was just foolishly guarding the fish..."

The details of Tao Dayong's arrest have spread in the team. Li Long can only say that this idiot brought it upon himself.

How many fish can you sell for fifty yuan?

Seeing Li Long's confident expression, everyone else fell silent.

Li Long didn't say much, basically he answered one question after another. In the meantime, he went to the east room to get a teapot and bowls to pour water for several people. At that time, there were no disposable cups, and there were few glass cups, so people used bowls to drink water.

Li Long was very attentive to his guests, but everyone still felt quite bored and ended up leaving before ten o'clock.

Li Long really wanted them to leave early, because he was thinking about getting up early tomorrow to walk the rabbit.

After these people left, Li Long went to the west room.

The oil refining was not finished yet. Li Jianguo was in a good mood today. He was tired after working for most of the day and had a few drinks, so he went to bed. Li Long originally wanted to discuss something with his elder brother and sister-in-law, but seeing that it was impossible to do so, he simply turned around and went back to the east room.

That night, the Li family became the center of discussion for the entire team.

That night, Tao Daqiang slept on the kang, feeling extremely upset. If he had not agreed to his father, had not broken up with Li Long, and had not gone to sell fish with his brother, would all these bad things have not happened?

That night, Gu Xiaoxia hesitated whether to make that decision.

That night, Wu Shufen was also hesitating whether to go to Li Long to reconcile - she found that the men she talked to later, although they were all workers, none of them was like Li Long today, calm, but very - temperament, yes, that word is temperament.
