Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

When Li Long said this, not only Li Qingxia and the others changed their expressions, but the middle-aged short man also changed his expression. He grabbed his hat and pointed at Li Long angrily and said:

"Don't frame me! I'm telling you, this fish was caught in the Baitukeng Reservoir. What are you talking about? How can I catch fish in a sewage pit? Where is there a sewage pit here?"

"Of course there's nothing here." Li Long said calmly, "But there is something in that sand pit. It's a good thing you ran far away -

The leather factory in our county discharged sewage into the sand pit, and it became a huge sewage pit. There must be a lot of fish in it, right? It’s a good thing you could bear the smell and fish it out, and even wash it!”

At that time, leather was still quite expensive. Basically, every county had a leather factory, which mainly collected sheepskin and cowhide, but also other leathers, such as dog skin, water rat skin, rabbit skin, etc.

There are also mink factories in pastoral cities, which collect mutton to feed the minks, and then peel the minks to make leather clothes and fur.

Of course, part of these leather products are used in industry and military, and part are exported to earn foreign exchange.

There are not many people wearing fur here, but there are many people wearing fur in Russia. The weather there is cold, and fur coats are relatively more effective in keeping out the cold.

At that time, the leather factory did not have professional purification equipment, and the wastewater from washing leather products was directly discharged into the sand pit in the north through pipes.

This pipeline is dozens of kilometers long. The section closer to Team 4 uses corrosion-resistant rubber pipes. It is not known what kind of pipes are used later.

This pipeline was used for decades. By the end of the 1990s, leather products were gradually replaced by artificial leather, and the leather factory gradually lost its former prosperity. The factory also had new purification equipment, so this pipeline was abandoned.

Many people who build houses go specifically to look for the location of pipes, dig out the black rubber pipes, and use them as sewer pipes for their own houses. They are very useful.

The sewage discharged from the leather factory over the years formed a large sewage pit in the sand pit. Other water was also discharged into it, and there were fish in it.

At first, there were local fish species, such as silver carp and bighead carp, and later there were catfish and other species.

The reason why Li Long could see it at a glance was due to his current excellent sense of smell and his experience in his previous life.

In the last life, this kind of fish appeared openly in front of people. It was only a dozen years ago that someone would set up a stall at the intersection, put a cardboard box in it, and write "Wild Giant Carp" on it to fool passers-by from other places.

The fish looked beautiful, just like the ones on this carriage, but the locals knew very well that they were fish from a sewage pit.

If you wash it clean, you can smell it clearly, but if you don't wash it clean, you can smell the stinky smell of mud.

Although this carriage fish has been rinsed, to be honest, it was cooked too roughly and the smell is still quite strong.

After Li Long said this, Li Qingxia, Li Jianguo, and Lu Yingming immediately moved closer to the carriage. They couldn't take a closer look before because Li Long was not there and hadn't decided to buy it.

Now that Li Long said this, these people became less polite.

"Hey, there really is a stinky smell!" Li Qingxia could smell it as soon as he got closer. He didn't notice it before, he just thought it was the stench of fish, but now as soon as Li Long said it, he could tell that it was not the stench of rotten fish and shrimp, but the stench of sewage.

Li Jianguo directly opened the gill cover of a big fish. The little guy tried to stop him, but Li Jianguo pushed him aside with his elbow.

If this is left for thirty or forty years, and you say you realize there is something wrong with it and you don't want to buy it, and people don't sell it to you anymore, then forget it.

Thirty or forty years later, everyone has become more knowledgeable and experienced, having seen more and more deceptive things, so their tolerance has increased. As long as you don't defraud me, it's over.

But it is different now. People generally have very high moral standards. Selling fish caught from a sewage pit as fish from a reservoir is no less than taking something out of a manure pit, washing it, and passing it off as fish from a vegetable field for people to eat.

Isn't this harmful to people?
So Li Jianguo and Lu Yingming were not polite at all. This guy came here specifically to trick Li Long!

Li Jianguo pried open the gill cover of the frozen big fish with force and immediately saw obvious mud on the rows of gills. He picked up a little with his fingers and put it to his nose and smelled it. The smell almost made him vomit!
It stinks!
Think about the wastewater discharged from the leather factory. It is not only dirty, but also breeds various bacteria in the dirt. Some of the germs carried by the original animals on the leather are extremely poisonous!

Lu Yingming also noticed it at this time. He lifted up a few fish and took a look. There was also mud that had not been washed clean on the fish fins.

If you don't think too much about this, just explain it as the fish at the bottom of the reservoir.

If it was really Li Long who uncovered the truth, there would be a lot more to think of.

"Aren't you fucking harming people?" Lu Yingming got angry first. "Is this for people to eat? You have no conscience!"

As he spoke, Lu Yingming got angry and slapped the man in the face.

The hat he had just put on was knocked off, and the man was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to fight back.

Of course he didn't dare, as there were two strong laborers around him, plus an old man who looked a little old but was actually taller than him.

Li Long pointed at the fish and said:

"You are cheating me! Not only are you trying to cheat me, you are also trying to destroy my reputation!"

Li Jianguo reacted and kicked him.

The man didn't notice and was kicked to the ground by Li Jianguo. He rolled twice before screaming.

Li Long was stunned for a moment. Is the eldest brother so powerful?
"You're looking for death!" Li Jianguo knew how much Li Long had done in the past two years to build up this brand and to be able to get so much work every year in the supply and marketing cooperative.

He also knew that these fish were given to the supply and marketing cooperative as welfare. If he really didn't pay attention and didn't see it, and took these fish as cheap goods, and sent them to the supply and marketing cooperative and was discovered, then my brother Li Long's efforts over the past two or three years would have been in vain!
This person is trying to do something that will wipe out the entire family!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Li Jianguo couldn't help but step forward and kick the man a few more times. The man screamed and rolled on the ground.

Li Long didn't do anything. He had seen too many food safety issues in his previous life, so this one wasn't that serious.

But in the eyes of Li Jianguo and Lu Yingming, this matter is very serious.

If they catch the fish and ruin Li Long's reputation later, there is a high probability that Team 4 will not be able to get any big job next year.

Those in the village who are close to Li Long can earn more than a thousand yuan a year from this big job.

Even if one's relationship is average, one can still earn several hundred dollars a year by making brooms and reed handles.

It’s more money than what you can earn from farming.

The whole family can use this money to buy new clothes, and the family can also add a big item or replace some furniture every year.

Without these jobs, the lives of the four teams of villagers would immediately fall to the same level as those of the other teams of villagers.

Having already been rich, who would be willing to become poor again?
None of the kids on the team want to!
Eat less sugar in a year!
So Li Jianguo and Lu Yingming fought the hardest, and then attracted a lot of people.

Once the news spread, by the time Captain Xu Chengjun arrived, the man's head was covered in blood from being beaten.

No one beat him anymore, but he didn't dare run away.

After finding out what was going on, Xu Chengjun almost kicked him.

It was only because he saw that the man was beaten so badly that he didn't take action.

"Okay, leave it to me." Xu Chengjun was also a beneficiary of the big job that Li Long brought him. At first, he got paid by the team, but later he could also get paid for his own work and get some benefits for his cousins.

This guy is cutting off the entire village’s source of income!

"Come some militiamen, tie him up for me, and follow me to the commune!"

Xu Chengjun was prepared to make this a solid case. Although he didn't hit anyone, he was not soft-handed.

Li Long was about to follow, but Xu Chengjun waved his hand:
"Xiaolong, don't worry about it. Don't worry, I promise to handle this matter well! Damn it, the scammers came to our territory, do they think we are easy to bully?
Humph, if I don’t squeeze the shit out of him before it’s released, I won’t be called Xu!”

As soon as Xu Chengjun said that, seven or eight strong young men started twisting their bodies, and the one pulling the carriage followed.

There was another family shouting, "I haven't eaten yet." The young man waved his hand and said, "What to eat? This is more important!"

Obviously, the young men were also very angry. This incident was close to endangering the vital interests of everyone in the village.

It won't work if it's not handled properly.

Okay, Li Long doesn’t need to worry about this matter.

The villagers also gradually dispersed.

At first, many people did not see the deep-seated problem. It was not until someone analyzed that the fish in the sewage were being collected and Li Long was discovered sending them to the supply and marketing cooperative, which would cut off the financial resources of the entire village, that everyone realized the problem.

"What does a supply and marketing cooperative do? They collect all kinds of supplies. How could they not find this? Look at Xiaolong, he recognized it at the first sight! They just have this ability!"

They didn't think so before, but when the crisis was really approaching and there was no big job brought by Li Long and they couldn't earn that money, the villagers put themselves in his shoes and understood how hateful this man was.

They don't think that if Li Long doesn't get the big job, other people in the team can get it.

impossible.

Many sisters-in-law went to talk to Liang Yuemei and comfort her, which made Liang Yuemei a little embarrassed. What comfort could she get from her side? She didn't lose anything.
"Xiaolong, it's a good thing you noticed it, otherwise we would be in real trouble today." Li Jianguo was still frightened.

In fact, when he first saw someone sending fish to him, he was quite happy. It was a good thing that his reputation had spread so far.

"It's all thanks to Brother Lu." Li Long said with a smile, "Brother Lu was the first to discover this person."

Li Long's yard is often empty. Although it is the front and back yards with Li Jianguo's, in winter people from the back yard come over to set up a stove.

People in this village would not come here when no one is around, after all, they all know that Li Long is not here often.

As the saying goes, "Without human traffickers, children will never be kidnapped."

If it were just villagers, Li Long's yard would not have suffered any damage.

But when outsiders come to the village, both adults and children will be a little wary.

The same thing happened in the Lu family. In fact, it was Mrs. Lu who first discovered that the stranger who came with a horse-drawn carriage was asking about Li Long's yard, and then she asked Lu Yingming to go over and see what was going on.

This incident also sounded a wake-up call for Li Long himself.

Nowadays, most people are bound by morality and have a lower limit for humanity, but there are also people who break through the lower limit. There are bad people in every era, so we cannot have a filter for strangers in this era.

Pay attention when you need to.

This matter came to a temporary end. Liang Dacheng and others came to deliver the fish later, and they all looked frightened.

In fact, if Li Long hadn't noticed the man delivering the fish, the most direct harm would have been to those who delivered the fish.

After all, if Li Long takes that man’s fish, it will be difficult to sell the fish of Liang Dacheng and others.

Li Long didn't say anything, but he also reminded himself.

I dug holes in the ice to catch fish as usual in the afternoon. When I came back for dinner in the evening, Xu Chengjun also came.

"I handed him over to the police station. They said it didn't cause any harm and it wasn't illegal.

The director of the institute was a retired soldier in the same year as me. He made me argue for a while, saying that the fish in the village were to be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative and eaten by the county leaders. If the fish were to be sent to the leaders and they ate them and something went wrong, whose responsibility would it be? "

"What about the last part?" Li Qingxia asked.

Liang Yuemei brought Xu Chengjun a bowl of fresh fish soup. Xu Chengjun took it and drank a sip and said:
"Finally, the man was locked up. After interrogation, he said he caught several hundred kilograms of fish. He took some to the market to sell. The fish were smelly and big, so he didn't sell many. Then he found out that Xiaolong was collecting fish."

"Did you tell me how many days you would be detained?" Li Jianguo asked, putting down the bowl of fish soup.

"Half a month, no more. I thought half a month would be enough. If the carriage is confiscated, it will be difficult for him to catch fish like this again."

Although being locked up for half a month may not seem like a long time to everyone, Li Long knows that this guy will definitely suffer a lot during this half month.

Xu Chengjun sat and chatted for a while and was about to leave. Liang Yuemei brought a small wicker basket filled with two or three kilograms of peeled crucian carp to him. Xu Chengjun declined twice but then accepted it.

"Then I'm leaving." Xu Chengjun left with the basket.

Today's incident was a relief for the whole village. Why were those militiamen so enthusiastic? Of course, it was not just because he, the militia company commander, had a strong appeal.

With Li Long around, Team 4 will be able to earn a lot of extra money.

Now that Xu Chengjun is the team leader and village director, he has less and less affairs to deal with in the village, and he is also thinking about how to make money for his family.

He also knew that Li Long "hired" Liang Dacheng and several others to drive tractor harvesters to harvest wheat. He was wondering if he could get involved.
Or you can ask Li Long to buy a harvester?

If Xu Chengjun really wants to scrape together enough money, it's not impossible for him to buy a tractor.

Not long after Xu Chengjun left, Li Long also drove a jeep towards the county.

It was already dark, and a headlight could illuminate a long distance. Li Long spotted snowflakes slowly falling from the sky.

Snowing.

It snowed heavily that night and continued to snow for a while the next morning.

Li Long got up early in the morning and cleared the snow in the yard. Sister Yang also made breakfast early. After breakfast, Gu Xiaoxia wanted to ride her bike to work, but Li Long stopped her.

The jeep was filled with water, and Li Long called Gu Xiaoxia and Han Fang into the car to take them to school and work.

"I still have to pay attention to the impact." Gu Xiaoxia was unhappy.

"What are you paying attention to?" Li Long waved his hand. "I won't drive to the door of your company. I'll just drop you off when I'm almost there. By the way, take it easy when you're sweeping snow at work. Don't be so aggressive."

"I'm not stupid." Gu Xiaoxia's temper gradually changed during pregnancy, and she began to scold people, "You think I'm a good person."

Okay, just know that you are not stupid.

Li Long drove the jeep out. Sister Yang closed the door and started to tidy up the kitchen and cook.

There were already people clearing snow on the road, and some were rushing to work or school. Some were carrying tools in their hands, and some were carrying bags on their backs.

Li Long first dropped Gu Xiaoxia off at an intersection more than 20 meters away from the Education Bureau. Gu Xiaoxia complained that others could see them from this distance.

Li Long smiled without saying anything. He watched her enter the gate of the unit, and then hurriedly sent Han Fang to school.

When Li Long turned back to the compound, Sister Yang was sweeping the yard.

"Sister Yang, stop sweeping and go do your own thing." Li Long said, "Xiaoxia will be back a little late at noon, she will walk back slowly."

The Education Bureau is less than 800 meters away from the compound, and it only takes Gu Xiaoxia ten minutes to walk there.

Li Long went to the team to collect fish and would not come back at noon, so Gu Xiaoxia walked back and forth, which was safer than riding a bicycle.

Sister Yang said she understood and went to sell food. Li Long picked up the snow shovel and started clearing the snow in the yard.

There was a green belt outside, so Li Long piled up the snow in the yard and then took it out to the green belt.

There were also people clearing snow at the police station. Li Long greeted Officer Guo and then went back to his own business.

He moved quickly and with great strength. After he finished the work at the police station, he had also cleared most of the snow in Li Long's yard.

By the time Li Long had finished clearing the snow in the yard, the clouds in the sky had thinned and the snow had stopped falling.

The snow fell about 20 to 30 centimeters, which is not thick, just medium snow.

If this happened in future, there would definitely be a lot of people playing snowball fights, but for Li Long at the moment, it is a trouble.

Fortunately, the next snow will bring some cold, and the ice in the lake will be thicker, which will make the fish in the lake more uncomfortable and lack oxygen, and easier to catch.

Each has its own advantages.

When the jeep drove to the team, Li Long didn't see any students along the way, after all, the students were on vacation.

As soon as the middle schools and primary schools were on vacation, these two buildings suddenly became quiet, which made Li Long, who often went back and forth, a little uncomfortable.

When we arrived at the team, the sky had completely cleared up and the sunlight shining on the new snow was somewhat dazzling.

The families in the team were also clearing snow. Li Long first went to Uncle Luo's house to help sweep the snow, and then went to his own yard.

My parents and two children were sweeping the snow in their yard, while my eldest brother and his wife were sweeping the snow in the back yard.

Li Long's joining made the snow clearing process more efficient.

He had one more task.

The feed for the animals in Ma Hao was a little short, and he thought that after catching the fish, he would have to go and fetch two loads of sugar residue.

Thinking of the sugar residue, Li Long's mind became active again.

This sugar residue is also a high-quality raw material. Setting up a company to process sugar residue feed is also a good way to make money. (End of this chapter)
