Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

After Li Long left, Liang Wenyu excitedly left the vegetable field and prepared to look for someone.

He already has a few predetermined targets in his mind. They have a good relationship with him and they can play together normally. When there is a need to make money, he will naturally think of them.

"Don't worry." Liang Donglou understood his son's feelings. He shouted in the vegetable garden, "Go, clean the tractor and add some butter. Think about it while you work. If you really want to go, you should prepare something. It's better to write it down on a piece of paper and let me see it."

Liang Donglou had also stayed in the mountains, but he was only looking for medicinal herbs, not for a long time. Even so, he had more experience than his son.

He could understand Liang Wenyu's feelings, but he was still a little dissatisfied with his son's recklessness. After arranging Liang Wenyu's work, he shoveled the stalks in the vegetable garden and went into the house.

Chen Xiuzhu was cooking in the house. When she saw Liang Donglou coming in, she complained to him in a low voice:

"Can't you talk to Wen Yu nicely? Xiaolong gave him this job, he was so happy, but you just poured a bucket of cold water on him, he must feel bad."

"How can we not put pressure on him? He's been so proud of having a tractor these days." Liang Donglou shook his head. "I don't know how to pay Xiaolong back for the tractor. Let's wait until the wheat harvest to see if it can be done as Xiaolong said. With his current temper, how can he be without any pressure?"

"There has to be a way. Now that Xiaolong has given him a way, and he is just about to do something, shouldn't we encourage him?" Chen Xiuzhu and her husband disagreed on this matter, so they opposed it.

But this is in private. Since Liang Donglou has said it openly, Chen Xiuzhu will not refute anything in front of her son.

Liang Donglou also knew that he might be too strict with his son and had too high expectations.

When did you start to have this idea?

Liang Donglou had a vague feeling that it had something to do with Li Long. His son had always been more successful than Li Long, but in the past two years, Li Long had been too successful, which made Liang Wenyu look a bit ordinary.

In the past, Liang Wenyu was considered very outstanding among the young people.

This made Liang Donglou feel a little disappointed after the comparison.

Subconsciously, I hope my son can be as good as Li Long, so there is naturally nothing wrong with that.

But it is impossible for Liang Wenyu to be like Li Long, so sometimes he gets a little anxious.

After realizing his problem, Liang Donglou began to adjust his mentality. After dinner, he gave Liang Wenyu some advice on what to bring into the mountains, and also on not revealing too much when looking for those young people.

After all, Li Longdu only spoke roughly and had not confirmed it. If Liang Wenyu insisted on what he said and there were changes later, it would be difficult to respond.

Liang Wenyu was greatly inspired after receiving the guidance. It turned out that some of his ideas were imperfect. For example, he was not sure about the ability of the people he wanted to find to make the carrying handles, and he did not know whether his family members were willing to go into the mountains, etc.

Need to understand.

Liang Wenyu was perfecting his plan, while Xu Haijun was a man of action. After lunch, he went to find Xie Yundong.

Xie Yundong was already packing up his things in the yard.

The surface of the tractor was wiped clean, and all that was left was to cover it with a layer of cloth for protection.

After looking at the tractor with envy, Xu Haijun looked at Xie Yundong and found that he was sharpening a sickle.

"The navy is here." Xie Yundong greeted them while sharpening his sickle.

"Well, Brother Yundong, you don't have any work to do right now, so why are you sharpening your sickle?"

"It's almost time to prepare for the job of carrying the weapons. I wonder if Xiaolong Nenghan can get the job of carrying the weapons this year. If possible, I will definitely go into the mountains." Xie Yundong smiled and did not hide his thoughts.

Xu Haijun could feel a little bit of pride in Xie Yundong's tone.

He didn't know what Xie Yundong was proud of, but since Xie Yundong was already prepared, he said:

"This year I may also go to the mountains to lead people to make the carrying poles. Brother Yundong, I came here to discuss something with you. I don't know which people you led in previous years.

Xiaolong said that he might bring more people this year, so I thought you should decide who you want to bring, and then I will look for others."

When he said this, Xie Yundong was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

However, he thought quickly and immediately realized that Li Long must have received the work, but the amount of work was a bit large, so he went to find more people to participate.

The meaning of Xu Haijun's words was very clear. He would look for other people only after he had determined the team members. It was obvious that he did not want to have a conflict with him.

After thinking this through, Xie Yundong smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, then I'll tell you who I brought with me last year... By the way, this is your first time in the mountains, right? I'll tell you what to prepare later."

Xu Haijun naturally understood the kindness shown by Xie Yundong, which was exactly what he wanted.

Xie Yundong put the sickle aside, then picked up a small stick and gestured on the ground while talking about people.

He had no plans to replace the people from last year. After all, each of them did a good job and got along well with each other, which was much better than the year before.

Everyone is busy making money and not doing those messy things, so he feels comfortable managing the business.

Although he did not earn the most, he felt comfortable with the extra management money he received.

Listening to Xie Yundong mention those people, Xu Haijun nodded.

He has two cousins, and these two people were originally included in his plan, but it seems that some adjustments need to be made.

As for the things that Xie Yundong said he would bring, and the subsidy that should be given to the master chef for weaving the handles, Xu Haijun naturally had no objection.

You can't bring your own people with you and cook for yourself, that would be a waste of time.

It's better to just follow Xie Yundong and the others. Four or five people won't eat much anyway, and all the chef needs to do is add two more bowls of rice.

In front of Xie Yundong, Xu Haijun did not have the arrogance of a young man. He understood the other party's good intentions and wrote down some things that needed to be prepared.

When he gets home, he will have to consider who to take with him.

As he was unsure about the personnel, Xu Haijun thought about it and decided to go find his cousin, team leader Xu Chengjun.

Xu Chengjun was repairing a rake in the yard. When he saw Xu Haijun coming over, he asked:
"Why is Haijun here? Have you finished digging the soil over there?" Xu Chengjun knew that Xu Haijun was going to build a small house. This young man was considered to be the best among his cousins, and he planned to train him well.

Although he was demobilized early, it did not affect Xu Chengjun's good impression of him.

"We have enough dirt." Xu Haijun said, "Li Long came today and asked me to recruit a few people and take them into the mountains to form a band..."

"Isn't that job Xie Yundong doing?" Xu Chengjun frowned. "Li Long even bought him a tractor and asked him to help with the work. What does that mean?"

"Xie Yundong is still working on it. He said that there are more jobs this year than last year, so he needs to recruit more people."

"Hey!" Xu Chengjun laughed, "Now that you mention it, I want to go too... What do you mean, Xie Yundong leads a group of people, and you lead a group of people?"

"Well, I've thought of a few candidates who won't conflict with him, but I haven't been here for the past two years, so I don't know if they're suitable, so I want you to help me with some advice."

"You've already said it, so I will definitely help. Tell me, who did you call?"

"Huang Siping..." The first person Xu Haijun mentioned made Xu Chengjun frown.

"You might as well call me instead of him." Xu Chengjun waved his hand, "You didn't know that he asked Tao Daqiang to borrow money some time ago, did you?"

"I don't know." Xu Haijun shook his head.

After Xu Chengjun told the story, he continued:

"Huang Siping grew up with you, but he's a bit lazy. You can ask him to go, but firstly, he may not go, and secondly, he may not be able to endure the hardship even if he goes. Do you remember your brother Jianjun? The first time he followed Li Long to form a gang, he didn't go the second time. Why? Because he was lazy and kept causing trouble..."

Because they both served in the military, Xu Chengjun was quite patient with Xu Haijun. Every time Xu Haijun mentioned someone, he would analyze that person's personality traits.

After helping Xu Haijun to select roughly five or six candidates, Xu Chengjun sighed and said:
"To be honest, if I wasn't the captain, I would have wanted to follow you into the mountains."

Li Long went into the mountains several times a year. He not only made money but also gained fame, becoming a well-known advanced individual in the autonomous region.

Xu Chengjun thought to himself that if he encountered such an opportunity, he might not be worse than Li Long.

But as the village director, I definitely cannot leave the village for a month.

I can only stay here, which has its advantages and disadvantages. Xu Haijun returned home contentedly and began to think about how to prepare supplies and how to persuade those people.

In fact, there may be no need to persuade them at all. Just tell them about it, and they will probably be very happy to go.

It was Huang Siping who made Xu Haijun hesitate.

Xu Chengjun meant that he could not be brought along, as bringing him along might not necessarily complete the mission.

But Li Long is no longer on the same level as the group of people he played with back then. Gu Ermao was also arrested. Tao Daqiang got married and followed Li Long, but they are gradually drifting away. Among the girls, Wu Shufen married out of the village, and Qin Hongyan married another young man in the team.

After I came back, only Huang Siping came to see me and complained to me. He was considered a relatively close friend. If I didn't call him, it would be a bit unreasonable.

After Li Long came back from Liang's house, he was packing things in the yard.

When the handles are being woven, it is also the time to dig up the Fritillaria.

Last year, the money earned from weaving the handles was not as much as that earned from collecting Fritillaria, so Li Long plans to continue to make collecting Fritillaria a major business this year.

As for the weaving handles, we need to collect them every once in a while, but the Fritillaria can be collected every day.

We have jeeps now, which is much better than last year.

He planned to take some time to go to the mountains, renovate his wooden house, and store some supplies there.

In this way, the supply exchange store in the mountains can continue to operate. By the way, you have to say hello to Bolati in advance, so that you can get more benefits.

After coming back from the mountains last year, I haven’t had any contact with Bolati. I don’t know if he will be there when I go back this time.

After the beginning of spring, the free market became more crowded, and Sister Yang's products became more diverse. There were wild vegetables outside, so Sister Yang not only made soup and rice, but also sold steamed bread, steamed cakes, and wild vegetable sandwiches - or, in other words, vegetable sandwiches in later generations.

At this time, the sales volume of Roujiamo in the market is estimated to be small, but it is still very popular to cut the baked dough in the middle and fill it with cold wild vegetables.

Sister Yang recently heard that the market management department plans to build houses on both sides of the free market. This news surprised Li Long a little.

He vaguely remembered that this matter would not begin in two years in the future, so it was brought forward?
I remember that the houses could be rented out to vendors or sold. At the beginning, almost no one bought them, and even fewer people rented them. But later, the market management gradually became formal, and other free stalls were banned, and it became a real farmers' market.

Those who rented houses at the beginning became the first group to get rich. As for those who bought houses, there were quite few at that time. Later, most of the people who rented houses at that time bought the houses they rented.

Of course, the house price is several times the initial purchase price.

"Sister Yang, if we really need to build that house, let's buy a few." Although Li Long didn't expect to make a fortune from real estate, he would feel sorry for himself if he didn't eat the meat that was right in front of him.

This also reminded him of the old street in Shicheng. He wondered whether it would be built there. If it was, he could buy a few rooms.

If you don’t have time to sell things, you can rent them out.

The development idea of ​​Shicheng Old Street is different from that of Ma County. The area there is spacious, and although there are shops on both sides, stalls are still allowed in front of the shops.

That is, free vendors and fixed merchants exist together.

If they build it there, I can buy a few of them. I guess they shouldn't be expensive now, right?

I spent the next two days packing up and picking up Gu Xiaoxia from get off work.

Gu Xiaoxia no longer rides a bicycle and walks to and from get off work every day. Anyway, the road is not very far, so it's nice to walk.

Because she has adequate nutrition, although Gu Xiaoxia's calves are a little swollen, she is fine in other aspects.

Because of pregnancy, her originally slightly oval face became a little rounder, and a double chin appeared. Gu Xiaoxia once worried about how she would lose the 20 kilograms she had gained, but Li Long said that now is the best time.

Then Gu Xiaoxia laughed. She remembered a saying: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. That must be the case.

She could see the sincerity in Li Long's words.

On Wednesday morning, Li Long was loading things into the jeep in the yard. He planned to go into the mountains later to put some things in the wooden house and come back before getting off work in the afternoon.

No matter how many tasks he has to carry out this time, he must go into the mountains.

It is better to leave early than late. You can get some mushrooms to eat when you get there.

Although there are wild mushrooms for sale in the market now and they are not expensive, they are basically reed mushrooms.

To be honest, the reed mushrooms that grow underground are more fragrant than the straw mushrooms that grow in the mountains - after all, people in later generations gave it a very straightforward name: Chinese delicious mushroom.

Can it not be delicious?
However, after eating too much delicious food, Li Long also wanted to change to something more delicious.

From late April to early June, morels can be found in the mountains. Although Li Long always feels that the taste of this mushroom is just so-so, it is famous and expensive.

Of course, this time he planned to go into the mountains and get some ordinary straw mushrooms. Of course, large white crispy porcini would also be no problem.

He doesn't pick.

When I was preparing things, I heard the barking of a puppy.

Then Li was seen pushing his bicycle into the yard.

The gate of the yard was closed, and sometimes there was a gap for people to go in and out, but the two puppies, two roe deer, and the hedgehogs were all very obedient and did not run out.

"Hey, you also have dogs. These dogs look really good!" As soon as Li Xiangqian came in, he saw the two little puppies showing off to him.

Although the dogs are not big, they already know that this yard is their territory and home.

He's pretty aggressive towards strangers.

Of course, it's no deterrent.

Li Long put down the work at hand, watched Li Xiangqian prop up the car, and asked:

"Why is the Section Chief here? Is there something wrong?"

"Something's happening. The state commune has come up with a mission." Li Xiangqian's eyes were still on the dog, and then he said to Li Long, "How about it, four thousand bearers, can it be completed?"

"Four thousand?" Li Long was shocked. "So many?"

"Can't finish it? If you can't finish it, I'll give some to others..."

"Yes, yes, yes, how could it be impossible?" Li Long said hurriedly, "It's just 4,000 people. By the way, how long will it take?"

"Delivery in early June." Li Xiangqian said, "Time is a bit tight, can you really do it?"

"Of course!" Li Long calmed down. "On average, one person can recruit about 150 escorts per month. Excluding the defective rate, let's count 120. For 4,000 escorts, that means more than 30 people. I can still find more than 30 people."

"Okay, I believe you." Li Xiangqian knew that Li Long was not a man of empty promises. Since he said so, then this matter could be done.

"Don't worry, Chief. The quality is definitely good. I'll deliver a batch of goods every once in a while, otherwise I won't have room to store them."

"I had the same idea. Our warehouse can't store so many. You can bring over a batch of three to five hundred. We can gather together one thousand and send them to the state." Li Xiangqian said.

The matter was settled just like that.

Neither of them mentioned Director Wei. Since Li Xiangqian came to see Li Long, it meant that there must be no problem with Director Wei.

"By the way, the price hasn't changed, it's still eight dollars each." Li Xiangqian said, "If the task is completed well, the state will give us some money back, but don't even think about it."

"I definitely don't want to." Li Long said with a smile, "I'm satisfied with these 4,000 people."

"Then why don't you thank me?" Li Xiangqian said with a smile.

"Thank you, of course." Li Long didn't expect Li Xiangqian to take the initiative to ask, so he immediately said:
"Captain, what do you want?"

"Hey, give it to me." Li Xiangqian pointed at the little guy on the ground, "My family just happens to be short of one, give this one to me."

Li Long was a little dumbfounded. Li Xiangqian wanted this? (End of this chapter)
