Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 671 Earn another car?

In fact, Bolati doesn't care how much money Li Long gives him now. After Li Long analyzed the situation for him just now, the stone in his heart was removed. He felt that this was worth more than anything else.

I am not wrong, so I can sleep well from now on without doubting myself.

Hey, Li Long is really good. He got to the point right away. Unlike those cadres in the team, they are totally useless!

"Okay, I'll tell you about it." Seeing that Bolati was in a good mood, Li Long began to count the money. He didn't intend to keep those Fritillarias for himself. Bolati took the risk and didn't report him, so he had to show his appreciation.

"I'll give you two thousand yuan first." Li Long said, "This is all I'll bring today. Come over at lunch tomorrow and I'll give you more..."

"What? So much?" When Bolati heard that Li Long was going to give so much, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, two thousand yuan will be enough..."

Li Long naturally didn't think of giving Bolati only 2,000 yuan, but at the moment he really didn't have that much money.

Bolati took the two thousand yuan from Li Long's hand. It was such a thick stack that he was a little confused.

Just as he was about to pack the money, Bolati hesitated for a moment, gave half of it to Li Long, and counted out some of the rest and gave it to Li Long:

"You hold it for me. I'll take three hundred first."

"Your money, what should I do with it?" Li Long hastily refused, "Take it yourself."

"Li Long, let me tell you, you are a good friend, I feel safe leaving my money with you.

I can't take money, but if I take money, I can't help but spend it. If I spend money, won't it be exposed? People will definitely ask where so much money came from? Three or five hundred is fine, but if it's more, don't tell others. Once our team cadres get suspicious, this matter will be difficult to say. "

Li Long was worried after thinking about it. He thought for a while and asked:
"Then why not give the money to your Yang Gangzi?"

"No, no, women don't take money." Bolati shook his head like a rattle, "You can't take it. Women take the money and spend it recklessly. We women don't take money..."

Li Long was a little puzzled. He didn't know whether this was the family rule of the Bolati family or the consensus of their small circle. However, since Bolati said so, he said:
"Well, I'll save the money for you first. Whenever you need money, come and find me. My wife is going to give birth soon, and I'll have less money when I go to the mountains. If you need anything, you can come to the county supply and marketing cooperative to find me."

"Okay, okay, it's okay, you take it first." Bolati happily put the three hundred yuan into his left chest pocket, buttoned it, patted it and said, "Don't worry, I remember it, and I'll come to you when I need money. I'm also thinking of buying a house in the county in two years."

With the current housing prices, Bolati's money can really buy a yard in the county.

However, Li Long did not make a decision for him. After all, different nationalities have different customs, and it depends on other people's preferences.

With his worries resolved and money in hand, Bolati immediately became cheerful. He asked Li Long for another bottle of wine, picked it up and left on his horse.

Although Li Long advised him to drink less, he waved his hand, indicating that he would just drink a little less, and then staggered away.

Well, Li Long really couldn't stop this habit.

After Bolati left, Sun Jiaqiang came over and asked:
"Brother Long, I think this Bolati has something against me. He looked very fierce at me just now. What are you talking about?"

"He thinks you're mean because a few days ago, two robbers tried to snatch his gun on the way and almost beat him to death." Li Long explained, "So he thinks that none of the people digging for medicine are good people... Don't worry about him."

"What? Those two people..." Sun Jiaqiang was also shocked and immediately understood Bolati's feelings.

"Those two people may have a case on their hands. They don't want to be taken back and repatriated. They are afraid that they will be exposed during the trial." Li Long explained, "It's okay. It has nothing to do with us."

Sun Jiaqiang finally felt relieved and continued to cook.

He was planning to make pilaf and wanted Li Long to give him some guidance.

Li Long went over to teach him. To make pilaf delicious, you must use a lot of oil.

There is no shortage of oil and meat here. Li Long also brought some carrots, including carrots.

So this pilaf was pretty good. When the two of them were eating lunch, someone came over to exchange something and directly asked for a bowl of pilaf.

This request must be met. Sun Jiaqiang immediately put down the enamel basin and went over to serve the food.

The main thing was that I felt happy that this was my first time making this and people recognized me. He even served more for people and put two pieces of meat bones on top.

The man was also a little surprised. After looking at Sun Jiaqiang, he immediately broke off two branches and started eating.

God knows how long it has been since he had a good meal.

Li Long's eyes even turned red when he watched him eat.

There is no way, only those who have experienced it know the hardships in the mountains.

Many people in later generations who have seen people surviving in the wilderness would have some desire to make a trip there, but if they really go, it is estimated that few people can survive even for one night.

At least people at this time had more skills to survive in the wild than people forty years later.

Of course, the high technology forty years from now will be far beyond the reach of today, and each has its own strengths.

After finishing a bowl of pilaf, the man put down more than three kilograms of Fritillaria and turned away.

Sun Jiaqiang hurriedly stopped the man and asked him what he wanted to exchange. He was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others.

When the man left, he really wanted to use the fritillaria to pay for his meal. He felt that the pilaf was worth the price.

But since Sun Jiaqiang stopped him, his inner reason prevailed again, after all, he was also missing something.

So I exchanged them for some noodles, as well as some sundries like matches, medicine, and salt.

When this person left, his steps were more determined, much better than when he came.

Li Long felt that something in his heart seemed to be more resolute.

That should be a good thing, right?

Two people came to exchange Fritillaria in the whole afternoon. Li Long asked them and they said they would leave in two days.

Li Long looked at Sun Jiaqiang. Sun Jiaqiang was also hesitating whether to stay and pick mushrooms or go out to find a job.

"You can try picking some. If you don't like them, it's not too late to leave." Li Long advised, "God will not let the blind sparrow starve to death. Anyway, there is always food to eat wherever you go. If you don't want to stay, you can bring the morels to me or sell them at the purchasing station. You can exchange them for money."

"Okay." With Li Long's backup, he felt relieved.

Li Long returned home early today. After the matter in Xiaobaiyanggou was settled, Li Long had been waiting for Bolati. Today, Bolati's matter was also settled. Li Long put a lot of things aside in his mind and returned early.

Although it is not even halfway through the year, Li Long has completed most of his plans in the mountains, and he only needs to go there occasionally from now on.

The three bags of Fritillaria that he had originally intended to hand over to Bolati were taken back. Some of the three bags of Fritillaria were not completely dry yet. When he returned to the compound, Gu Xiaoxia still had more than an hour before she got off work, so he unloaded the Fritillaria from the car and took them to the wing room to dry them.

Fortunately, there are many rooms in my house, otherwise it would be difficult to dry so many Fritillaria.

Sister Yang had already returned with her cart. Li Long asked casually while drying the Fritillaria:

"Sister Yang, how is business these days? Are you going to build the house over there in the market?"

"I haven't said anything yet. Anyway, I see people measuring it from time to time. I don't know how it is planned. Business has been good these past two days. There are more people coming to the market, and there are also many people selling food. However, I have been here for a long time, so I have more regular customers."

Li Long asked about the progress from time to time, thinking that if there was a chance, he would buy a few shops in the market and collect rent. From now until more than 30 years later, the rent of shops is the highest. When the physical stores are depressed, the cost will have been recovered long ago.

After drying the Fritillaria and collecting the dried ones to be sold tomorrow, Li Long drove to the Education Bureau to pick up Gu Xiaoxia. In two or three days, until the end of the month, Gu Xiaoxia would not have to go to work, so she was finishing up her work and handing over some work to others.

There are relatively more female cadres in the Education Bureau, so things like this happen frequently and everyone is used to it.

The jeep was parked in front of the Education Bureau. At first some people looked at it curiously, but later they gradually got used to it.

Of course, some people still want to take a look when they pass by, after all, it is quite rare to see a jeep these days.

Li Long was sitting in the car, also taking inventory.

The money for the porters had been paid. Out of the four thousand porters, he delivered four thousand five or sixty to the supply and marketing cooperative. The other fifty or sixty were considered gifts, and he did not ask for money. He only wanted the full four thousand.

The main reason is that the handles will be pressed when they are being pulled to the state, and Li Long is afraid that some of them will be damaged, so the extra ones will be regarded as surplus.

It's better to have some spare capacity than to have a few missing.

Four thousand porters, each earning four yuan, that's sixteen thousand yuan. But Li Long had to pay fifty or sixty more, and he had to give the whole price to his eldest brother and Liang Wenyu, and he also had to deduct the freight for the truck.

Calculated in this way, the net money received is more than 14,000 yuan.

As for the Fritillaria, they have not been sold out yet, but the profit has exceeded 20,000 yuan, which is equivalent to being able to buy a Daihatsu car when the Daihatsu van comes out in two years.

It's a bit exaggerated.

There’s no way, that’s how monopoly business makes money!
Li Long was already quite calm. The most important thing right now was that Gu Xiaoxia was going to give birth to a child. Everything else could be put aside.

Fortunately, everything is normal now.

That day, Liang Donglou drove a tractor to bring people from his village back. After sending them back one family at a time, he finally took Liang Wenyu back to the yard.

After unloading the luggage, Chen Xiuzhu looked at her son and discovered that Liang Wenyu had not only become a little darker, but had also gained some weight.

"I can eat meat every day. I work harder and eat more. The food portions are big, so how can I not get fat?" Liang Wenyu was under a lot of pressure this time. After all, he was with a few people, so they were considered a group. He was also worried that he could not control people or that the quality of the people he made up was not good, and he would be outdone by others.

Fortunately, although I was nervous at the beginning, I basically got on the right track later and I didn’t need to emphasize it much.

I just talked about the details occasionally, and everyone else obeyed - there are not many jobs like this, and everyone earned four or five hundred yuan this time, so how could they not be obedient?

There has never been such a thing in our village!
"Dad, look at this Fritillary, I dug it!" Liang Wenyu showed the Fritillary he had dug to Liang Donglou as if he was presenting a treasure.

"Hey, it's OK." Seeing the mother-of-pearl that had been washed clean, Liang Donglou was a little surprised. "How did you dig mother-of-pearl?"

"In the last two days, Xiaolong asked us to help dig a sheep pond for someone, saying that he would pay us, but we refused. So he told the forest ranger to let us dig Fritillaria for a day as wages.

The forest ranger in the mountain has a good relationship with Xiaolong, so he doesn't care. I dug two or three kilograms, right? "

"How did you dig it?" Looking at the plump grains of Fritillaria, Liang Donglou grabbed a handful and looked at it in his hand, feeling very happy.

A Chinese medicine practitioner will be very happy not only after curing a patient, but also when he sees good medicinal materials.

"I learned this from my eldest brother-in-law." Liang Wenyu said with a smile, "My eldest brother-in-law digs very quickly, digging seven or eight kilograms a day..."

"That's amazing!" Liang Donglou nodded. "I couldn't dig so fast when I was young... What are you going to do with these?"

"Keep it at home for future use. Doesn't this cure cough?" Liang Wenyu said, "I see Xiaolong can collect dozens or even hundreds of kilograms every day. It's so precious... but ordinary people are not allowed to dig it."

"How can we harvest it if we are not allowed to dig it?" Chen Xiuzhu was a little confused.

"He has a good relationship with the forest ranger, and he collects those medicinal herb diggers. Those people exchange Fritillaria for his food and clothes, and the forest ranger doesn't care." Liang Wenyu actually only has a vague idea about it. He didn't dare to ask Li Long, so he asked Li Jianguo or heard it from other people during meals.

"Hey, that's not bad." Liang Donglou actually knew that Li Long was more capable, and he had originally wanted to let him take care of his son. It can be seen that Liang Wenyu has now come to his senses.

The next day, several people from the village who were working as porters came to Liang's house, and two of them even came on bicycles.

"Wow, you bought a new car already?" Liang Wenyu said jokingly.

"Of course not. The money is earned by ourselves. Half of it is given to our family and the rest is spent on ourselves. So we have to buy a car first... Wenyu, do you think there is any work this year?" The one who spoke was the one who had the most work in their group this year and earned the most.

Of course, he didn't know that Liang Wenyu got eight yuan for carrying the handle, and Liang Wenyu would not say this. After Liang Donglou knew about this, he asked Liang Wenyu to keep his mouth shut, otherwise he would definitely not have this job next year.

"There is none left, and some we can't do either." Liang Wenyu said, "In autumn, some people make big brooms, and some make reed handles. We don't have reeds or Achnatherum splendens here, so we can't do anything."

"Okay." The two who came here on bicycles were actually just asking around and didn't hold out much hope.

Liang Wenyu also had the job of harvesting wheat, but it was not easy to lead people. Even if he had to lead people, he could only lead one person at most. With these two people around, it was hard to say who to lead and who not to lead, so he simply didn't mention it.

After all, this job takes a long time, and he planned to use the money he earned this time to pay back Li Long for his tractor.

Even if I follow someone, it is most likely my father will be with me.

But I didn’t expect that my second brother-in-law Du Haihua would come to see me in the afternoon.

"Regarding Wen Yu's matter... Dad, you don't say anything about him. He would rather bring outsiders to make money than take me with him." Du Haihua complained seriously.

"No way, I remember that Wen Yu approached you first, and you said you didn't want to go?" Liang Donglou said slowly, "This is what he told me when he was looking for someone."

"Then..." Du Haihua was a little embarrassed, "Didn't you think this thing was unreliable at the time... Who would have thought that making money like this would be so easy."

"You are his brother-in-law. If you don't trust him, don't blame him for helping others make money." Liang Donglou shook his head.

Du Haihua was originally a man with high standards, but now he had to give in. He had to watch others make money while he, as Liang Wenyu's brother-in-law, did not make a penny. It was really unacceptable.

Liang Donglou thought that he was his second son-in-law after all, so he thought for a moment and said:
"Wheat harvesting season will start soon. Wenyu and I will use harvesters to harvest wheat for the team. Let's do this. You go to other teams and find those who are willing to use harvesters to harvest wheat. We will go over to harvest the wheat. For each acre of land you find, we will give you... 50 cents. The more you find, the more you earn."

"Really?" Du Haihua stood up suddenly, and then became suspicious again, "That harvester... does that thing have insurance?"

"Last year, Li Long harvested thousands of acres of land without any problems. Do you think we should do something about it?" Liang Donglou was quite angry at Du Haihua's hesitation. "If you don't want to make this money, just ignore what I said!"

"Earn, earn, earn! I definitely want to earn! Does that mean I can earn money based on how many acres I find?" Du Haihua gritted his teeth and said, "I can earn 100 yuan a day if I find 200 acres."

"You have to pay after the operation." Liang Donglou was actually dividing the money between him and his son. But letting Du Haihua act as a lobbyist saved them from having to show up, which was also a good thing.

"Okay, okay." Du Haihua thought to himself. He would go to the villages outside the commune, not to mention his own village. At least one family had several acres of wheat. He knew a few families well. If he could convince them and ask them to introduce him, he could get 20 to 30 acres a day and earn about ten yuan.

That’s a good thing too!
After hearing this, Du Haihua didn't even bother to drink the water and hurried out.

"Don't be hasty, be careful with your mouth and don't ruin the good thing!" Liang Donglou shouted, reminding.

When Liang Wenyu came back, Liang Donglou told him about this.

"Yeah, that's fine." Liang Wenyu also agreed. After all, he was her brother-in-law, so she should take care of him.

Li Long's Fritillaria season was completely over by the end of May. He left some things for Sun Jiaqiang at the cabin and said he would come once a week or half a month in the future, letting Sun Jiaqiang do whatever he wanted. Either pick mushrooms or go down the mountain. Just lock the cabin door when you go down the mountain.

Sun Jiaqiang agreed and planned to pick mushrooms for a while first.
