Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Liang Yuemei originally wanted to stay here, but looking at Gu Xiaoxia's condition, it was not necessary to do so. Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia also advised her to go back first and come back after the baby was born.

It was not until the sun was about to set that Li Jianguo drove the tractor to take the family away.

There are two pigs and a flock of chickens at home. Although I have entrusted them to Mrs. Lu to help feed them, I can't just ignore them.

It’s better for the pigs to stay in the pen. If the chickens have nothing to eat, they will probably go to the vegetable garden and eat all the leaves.

After Li Jianguo and his men left, there was nothing left to clean up in the yard. They had already cleaned it up.

Sister Yang sat next to Gu Xiaoxia and chatted with her. Han Fang felt a little disappointed and quietly asked her mother when Li Juan and Li Qiang would come again.

Gu Boyuan also went out and went back.

Roe deer and the little black dog felt that they could finally have some peace and quiet, and the big yard became silent.

Gu Xiaoxia smiled and said:

“I’m still a little uncomfortable.”

Although the yard is big, there are only a few people living there. Gu Xiaoxia was quite surprised to see it suddenly become lively.

"If you want, we can also move to the team." Li Long said, "The big yard in our team is still empty, so we can go back and live there for a while."

"No." Gu Xiaoxia put her hand on her belly and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it after the baby is born. It's too much trouble to go back now."

In order to avoid being bothered by those who wanted to buy harvesters, Li Long took two cars to Kuitun on time.

This time he didn't drive a jeep, but went there by car.

Before leaving, Li Long called the Kuitun Agricultural Machinery Factory through the supply and marketing cooperative and talked about the matter with Director Du.

There was naturally no problem with Director Du's side, and he even told Li Long that he would leave workers to help him load the goods onto the truck.

Li Long also thought about the problem of unloading.

With about twenty harvesters on board, and just him and two drivers, wouldn't it take until midnight to unload the goods?

So before he left, he went to the team and asked his eldest brother to drive a tractor at about the same time and bring Tao Daqiang and a few others over to help unload the goods.

Li Jianguo naturally had no objection.

There are still many cars on the Wuyi Highway at night, and from time to time you can see tractors running around.

But when passing through uninhabited areas, you no longer see herds of gazelles running.

The car was much faster than the tractor and we reached KT city in less than two hours.

Because we were in a hurry, the car went directly to the agricultural machinery factory.

The farm machinery factory had closed its doors and the gate was closed, but when the two cars arrived, the guard appeared at the gate.

Watching Li Long get off the car, the guard opened the gate.

Li Long had some impression of this security guard, but he didn't know his name.

"Comrade Li Long, right? Director Du is waiting for you." The guard said with a smile, "You came pretty quickly."

"Thank you." Li Long smiled, handed a cigarette to the guard, then turned around and asked the driver to drive into the factory.

Director Du was waiting at the door of the workshop. Li Long saw two rows of harvesters stacked on both sides of the workshop.

Seven or eight workers were chatting and smoking outside the workshop.

"Comrade Li Long is here." Director Du came over with a smile and said, "This is really fast."

"A car is naturally faster than the tractor I had at the time." Li Long smiled, "Sorry for bothering you, but you have to wait for me after get off work."

"Don't be polite. Without you, we wouldn't have so many orders, and we wouldn't be able to start production so prosperously. Come, check the machine, and if there's no problem, load it on the truck."

"Okay." Li Long came over and began to check the harvester.

This thing is a bit stupid, big, black and rough, all metal parts, so the inspection does not need to be so detailed. What surprised Li Long was that this time Director Du also equipped each harvester with a small parts bag, which contained some spare assembly screws, that is, double, with a margin to avoid damage or loss.

This is pretty good.

After the inspection, Li Long nodded, and Director Du said:
"Then let's load the truck. Comrade Li Long, shall we go get the invoice and sign it?"

"Okay." There were a total of twenty harvesters, and Li Long felt that should be enough.

As they walked toward the factory office, Li Long said to Director Du:

"Thank you, Director Du, for keeping your promise. In the places where I am the agent, this harvester has not been sold."

"That's for sure." Director Du said with a smile, "This harvester is your idea. My factory became prosperous thanks to your idea. If I can't even be honest, I don't have to be the director of this factory."

Li Long felt that Director Du was trustworthy.

Director Du continued:
"In fact, we have thought about developing some auxiliary agricultural machinery products since the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, we have innovated several types, but they have not yet been verified or recognized by everyone. We have also recommended harvesters to those who came to buy them, but to be honest, no one likes to buy them."

"What have you designed?" Li Long asked curiously.

"Aren't there many people who grow corn? We designed a corn thresher that also uses a tractor belt, but people saw it and said it was too bulky and heavy, so they didn't buy it.

There is also a small-scale plowing machine, which is the one on the back of a small four-wheel tractor. It has two plowshares. Although it is not fast, it is good for plowing small plots of land, such as a small garden. But no one buys it either..."

Li Long had seen these two products in his previous life. To be honest, there was really no market for them. They were just a flash in the pan in rural areas.

Although he hasn't seen the actual machine yet, Li Long can guess what it looks like.

After entering Director Du's office, while Director Du was looking for the ticket and issuing the invoice, Li Long explained:
"Director Du, let me analyze it for you. I think your positioning may be a bit biased.

Although every household grows corn now, to be honest, corn is no longer a mainstream food crop. If you have land at home, who wouldn’t want to grow more fine grains? "

Director Du nodded, but this reason obviously could not convince him.

"We must continue to grow corn. After all, every household in the countryside raises chickens and many raise pigs. Corn is a very good feed. However, these things are not as urgent as rice and flour.

Everyone is short of money now. After getting the corn, we put it in bags with the cobs and put it in an empty house. When there is nothing to do in winter, we drag a bag into the house and the whole family rubs the corn cobs while watching TV. This is the work we do in winter.

If you need corn urgently in other seasons, you can get half a bag, tie the mouth and put it on the ground, break it with a cob, rub it, pick out the core, and then take the corn to be processed. This thing is not like flour that you eat every day. If you don’t need it urgently, then the machine for rubbing corn cobs is not a necessity.”

"What is urgent need?" Director Du was a little confused by the new word that suddenly came out of Li Long's mouth.

"That is to say, it is a must. A rigid demand." Li Long knew that he had said something wrong and explained hurriedly, "That's roughly what I meant.

For example, wheat harvesters are in great demand, because there are many wheat plants and large plots of land, and everyone has to rush to harvest them. If they miss the harvest time, the wheat may fall over, mold, and sprout. But corn is different. In some places, corn is not harvested and stays on the stalk until early winter..."

Director Du began to understand a little.

"As I said before, everyone is short of money right now. If the work is not urgent, do it yourself if you can. Strength is not valuable. The same goes for your two-share plow. It can only turn over the vegetable field.

Every household grows vegetables during the slack season. During the slack season, a couple can finish the work in a day or two. There is no need for a tractor to plow the land, and it is difficult for a tractor to enter the vegetable garden.

Because of Director Du's honest attitude, Li Long actually thought about whether he should let them make the several types of agricultural auxiliary machinery he had envisioned in the future.

But it was still too far away, and it was difficult to sell it myself. Besides, this was a state-owned factory, and it was fine when Director Du was there, but Director Du was transferred because of his good performance, and once the relationship was severed, I would be the one who suffered.

Think about it first.

Director Du could also tell that Li Long had a thorough understanding of agricultural machinery, so he couldn't help but say:

"Comrade Li Long, you said it very well. After all, we who are engaged in agricultural machinery have not gone deep into the masses, and we do not understand and master the agricultural machinery that the masses really need, and we do not have a clear idea. Look, how about our factory hiring you as a technical consultant? Just like this harvester, you don't need to do too many things. If you have any good ideas, tell us, and work together to study and produce good agricultural machinery, which will benefit the majority of farmers, and our factory can also develop."

Hey, Director Du is a man with good vision.

Li Long smiled and said:

"Being a technical consultant is too far away. It's fine as it is now. I'll find you when I think of something. I trust your production, and of course your integrity. But I don't have any mature ideas at the moment. I'll tell you when I have one."

Director Du was not disappointed when he saw that Li Long did not agree. He decided to finish the current matter first.

The kind of pesticide sprayer that Li Long envisioned would definitely be popular for the next twenty years, but at least when the cash crop cotton was not popular, its sales would definitely not be better than that of the harvester.

So he didn't plan to say it for the time being.

There is still time, and room for thinking and development.

As for other machinery, Li Long believes that the electric tricycle will be the one with the best sales after being widely developed.

Unfortunately, that thing requires specific technology, such as motors and batteries. Northern Xinjiang has no advantages in these areas, and we can even say that we don’t have any technology at all, so I don’t want to think about it for the time being.

Take your time later.

Some meat can be eaten if it is available, and it is not a pity if it is not available. Between now and forty years, there are too many opportunities, and it is impossible to seize them all.

Live a good life first.

The invoices were issued, signed and the money was paid. By the time Li Long and Director Du came out of the office building together, the two cars over there had been almost loaded.

Li Long shook hands with Director Du and prepared to get in the car and leave.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Director Du saw that the sun had just set and it was still early.

"No, no, it will take more than an hour or two to get back, and we have to unload the truck. Maybe next time." Li Long smiled, "We have many opportunities to cooperate."

"Yes, yes, yes." Director Du also responded with a smile.

This harvester greatly increased the efficiency of the Kuitun Agricultural Machinery Factory and received a lot of praise. This also made Director Du feel that Li Long was indeed a smart young man.

You just need to consult him before making these small agricultural machinery in the factory.

Of course, the product is not selling well now. If you really ask Li Long before production, if Li Long says it is not possible, he may not believe it.

In fact, the corn thresher may still make some progress in a few years, but it will only be a flash in the pan, because the Cornmeal that can harvest corn will come out soon, and there will be no use for this thresher.

Li Long drove the two cars back. He had originally wanted to treat the two drivers to a meal, but the drivers refused, saying it would be better to go back quickly.

Li Long did not ask the reason. He guessed that it might be Captain Ma who asked him to return as soon as possible to avoid trouble if he could not return in time for an emergency mission.

After all, we are doing this in Nanshan, which is not far away. No matter how delayed it is, it will only take an hour or so.

But the distance to Kuitun is different.

When the two cars returned to the county, it was already dark. When the cars arrived at the yard, Li Long found that the jeep was pulled over, and his family's tractor was outside the yard, and his eldest brother's tractor was also outside the yard.

The person who opened the door was Tao Daqiang. He had good hearing and heard the sound of the car outside early on.

Li Jianguo, Tao Daqiang, Xu Haijun, Xie Yundong and others were all there. When they saw the car come in and park, they started unloading the goods without saying anything.

The yard was big enough for two cars to park in. When Li Long got out of the car, they got in, opened the trunks, and lifted the harvester down while greeting Li Long.

A harvester weighs more than 100 kilograms, which is not very heavy. In terms of weight, a car can actually carry more.

It’s just because this thing has a lot of protruding parts and is difficult to install, so we only install ten of them on a car, that’s all.

After Li Long got off the car, he saw Gu Xiaoxia sitting in front of the main house door. Sister Yang was standing there talking to her, so he went over to Sister Yang and said:
"Sister, we need to prepare some dinner. Do you have some noodles at home?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it will be ready soon. I have boiled the water here." Sister Yang was well prepared and asked, "Do you want to rain now?"

"Let's get off now. I think it will only take about ten minutes to unload the truck. We can eat after we get off. After we eat, the driver has to rush back."

"Okay, okay, I've already fried the vegetables. They're right down here."

If the soup noodles are clear, it tastes better if they are stir-fried in a wok. But Sister Yang meant to stir-fry some potatoes with tomato sauce and add some chili to make a soup rice flavor like that of Jiupianzi.

She knew that Li Long and his friends liked to eat it, so she often made this kind of sour and spicy food.

Just as Li Long said, the twenty harvesters on the two cars were unloaded by these hardworking people in less than twenty minutes.

"Wash your hands and eat. It's nothing special, just noodles in soup, wash your hands and serve the rice, plenty of it." Li Long greeted people with a smile.

He hadn't unloaded the truck just now and couldn't squeeze in, so his elder brother Li Jianguo didn't let him get involved.

"I can smell it." Xu Haijun and Li Long joked, "I'd like to eat a big bowl of this soup just for the taste."

Knowing how much a good laborer eats, Sister Yang cooked two pots. Seeing that the unloading was complete, she hurried to serve the rice to everyone.

Li Long had many enamelware basins at home, so he took a new one for each person and served them one by one. The dining table was full, so these people didn't sit down, but just found a place outside to sit and eat.

The two drivers were the first to get their meals, and the people in the team gave way to them. They took their meals and sat directly on the steps in front of the east wing.

The yard was swept clean everywhere, and it felt good to sit anywhere. Two little roe deer came over to watch the fun, and they wanted to eat the food after smelling it. The little black dog was more well-behaved. Seeing so many people, he might have been warned by Sister Yang before, so he didn't bark, but he was still very alert.

This made everyone couldn't help but admire this yard and this environment. They were so beautiful.

Sister Yang served a lot. Except for the driver, everyone else had a good relationship with Li Long, so they didn't hesitate and most of them added to their bowls.

After finishing the meal, the driver drove away, and Li Jianguo and his friends also wiped their mouths and left. Sister Yang sighed:

"Only working men can eat. He ate 7 or 8 kilograms of noodles in one meal!"

Li Long also ate more than one bowl. He was strong, so he ate a lot. He listened to Sister Yang and said with a smile:

"One is that you have a good appetite, and the other is that Sister Yang, the food you cook is also delicious."

Sister Yang was happy when she heard it.

Gu Xiaoxia had eaten in the evening, so she just drank some soup. After listening to Li Long's words, she continued:

"That's right, this soup tastes really good."

"Then I'll make it often." Sister Yang often makes this kind of soup and rice and sells it in the market, so the taste is very good. She is naturally happy when others praise her cooking skills.

In the following period, Li Long sold one or two harvesters every day. Knowing that the harvesters had been brought back, the original customers came one after another.

At this rate, the harvesters might be sold out in less than ten days. However, within ten days, Li Long took Gu Xiaoxia to Shicheng Hospital and went through the hospitalization procedures.

Although Gu Xiaoxia didn't feel anything wrong yet, Li Long calculated that it was almost time, and Gu Xiaoxia's belly was too heavy for her body, so Li Long was still worried.

To be honest, there aren't many people who need to be hospitalized for childbirth these days. Shicheng is better. After all, it is already an industrialized city at that time. There are many workers, who know more about this and are more particular about it.

Knowing that Li Long came from Mayan County, the nurses and doctors in the obstetrics department were quite surprised, so they were very caring towards Gu Xiaoxia. At first, Li Long wanted to give them a red envelope, but they refused to accept it.

After Gu Xiaoxia moved in, Sister Yang wanted to come and keep her company, but Li Long refused because Han Fang was still there. Although Sister Li Xia was there, she also had children at home, and her brother-in-law Chen Xingbang was not at home during the day, so there was no way to take care of the children, so Li Long went back to the fourth team to pick up Sister-in-law.

When my sister-in-law came, she brought a bag of things, including the child's clothes, shoes, diapers, quilts, etc.

Liang Yuemei also sewed loose clothes for Gu Xiaoxia to wear during the confinement period.

Li Long also bought some bottles, small toys and other things in advance. Everything is ready, and now he is just waiting for the birth. (End of this chapter)
