Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Song Ming ate a lot and when he left, he patted his chest and told Li Long that he could come to him for sugar residue next time and he could bring a truckload of it every once in a while and the price was negotiable.

Li Long knew that Song Ming must have a way to make extra money. After all, he had a big truck, so what couldn't he pull?
However, he has just started to work and cannot transport things related to construction projects. He can only transport ordinary agricultural products. It is very likely that the money he gets each time will not be as much as he gave this time.

But no matter what, it was a win-win situation. He got a large truckload of sugar residue, and Song Ming got a week's or ten-day salary. It only took him two or three hours, so he felt it was pretty good.

If it weren't for the fact that the breeding industry is still underdeveloped and the market prospects for sugar residue feed are unclear, Li Long would really have thought of specializing in this feed.

In later times, the machinery was more advanced, and cow manure and chicken manure could be dried and compressed into organic fertilizer, and this sugar residue could be dried and compressed into organic feed. But I don’t know if it can be made now, and I don’t know if anyone will buy it.

Sugar residue is definitely popular. Just look at how many people rush to grab it from the big pit where the sugar factory discharges sugar residue every day.

But if it is really turned into feed and sold, it is hard to say whether anyone will buy it.

Let's wait, we have to do things step by step. As of now, at least there should be no problem with the raw materials.

It was already dark when Li Long returned to the yard. It was Sister Yang and Han Fang who opened the door. When Li Long got off the jeep, Sister Yang asked if she wanted him to have dinner prepared. Li Long waved his hand and said that he had already eaten in Team 4.

It was a busy day. Li Long took a shower and went into the house to see that Gu Xiaoxia had already coaxed the two children to sleep. Although Mingming and Haohao did not sleep as much as they did in the first month after they were born, they still slept quite a bit.

"Are we going to watch big brother and the others cutting grass tomorrow morning?" Gu Xiaoxia asked.

"I have to go and see." Li Long put up the board to block the light from the children, then turned down the volume and turned on the TV. "I have to go and see almost every day. The pastures of the herdsmen over there are basically 200 to 300 mu. My brother and his family can earn more than 100 yuan a day, which is not bad."

"That's great." Gu Xiaoxia smiled. "It's several times our monthly salary! It's worth it even if it's a little tiring."

"Well, there are actually jobs that can make money, it just depends on whether we can find them. It seems that those of us who bought the harvester have discovered this business opportunity. We are the ones who sell jeans and gold digging tools."

Li Long had told this story to Gu Xiaoxia before, and she smiled when she heard it.

The child moved, and the two looked over there. Because there was a board blocking the view, they both stood up. However, seeing that the child only moved slightly and was not awake, they both felt relieved.

The main reason for making this board is that the children sleep for a long time in the bedroom, and the two adults cannot fall asleep for a while. It is impossible for them to stay far away, and they have to turn on the lights at night, so they just block it.

This was proposed and worked out by Li Long. At that time, Gu Xiaoxia didn't know that light when children sleep at night would affect their eye development, but when Li Long said it, she naturally took it seriously.

"You're just talking about it. Someone came to buy a harvester today. I told them that they didn't have any left, but they didn't believe me. If there wasn't a police station across the street, I suspect those two people wanted to break in." Gu Xiaoxia recalled something and said:
"At that time, Sister Yang said that we didn't have any harvesters, and the man started to make a scene. Then someone from the police station came over, asked about the situation, criticized and educated the man, and then let him go."

"Fortunately, our home is near the police station, otherwise it would be really troublesome." Li Long knew that this kind of thing could not be stopped. He was thinking about whether to stop the agency of this harvester or find another place to specialize in this so as not to affect the normal life of his family.

He thought for a while and said:

"How about this, I'll open a few doors in the wall on the south side of the building and use it as a storefront. I'll choose one and use it as a harvester agency store, put up a sign, and open the door when I'm here, and close it when I'm not. I'll explain the situation clearly there, and when I'm not here, it'll be easier to explain when someone comes to ask about it."

Li Long was not afraid of those people coming to harass him, after all, the police station was just across the street, so he would be a little wary of those people coming. But it was not a good thing for the old troublemaker to come here.

But it is not cost-effective to hire someone to do this job. After all, the harvest season has passed and only a few units can be sold in a month.

Gu Xiaoxia asked while watching TV:
"What are we going to do with the remaining rooms? I see someone has rented out a storefront on a nearby street to open a shop or barber shop. Should we rent one too?"

"No." Li Long waved his hand hastily, "We don't need the money. If we rent it out, it will only cause endless trouble."

He has to go out from time to time, and there is no man at home. If the person he invites to rent the house has good character, it will be fine, but if he has bad character, there will definitely be endless trouble.

So forget it. I bought this big yard mainly because I thought it would be more convenient to live in the county town, not because I wanted to rent it out to earn rent.

After hearing what Li Long said, Gu Xiaoxia actually had the same attitude, so she turned the topic to her work.

Gu Xiaoxia's maternity leave will be over in about ten days. She is taking care of the child now, and she will not have time to take care of the child once she goes back to work.

Sister Yang said that she would take care of the children from now on. Both children were very well behaved and she could take care of them. Li Long originally wanted to take the children to the fourth team and leave them to her mother when Gu Xiaoxia went to work. Gu Xiaoxia was not willing to do so, so Li Long agreed to her request.

I don’t know what she and Sister Yang discussed, but both Gu Xiaoxia and Sister Yang said to put it here for viewing, so Li Long didn’t have any objection.

After Gu Xiaoxia went to work, Li Long didn't have much work to do. Whether it was making big brooms or tying reed bundles, they were all familiar jobs and did not require him to coordinate. He just had to collect the work every day.

This way I will be able to take care of the child when the time comes, so this is how the baby-sitting matter is decided for the time being.

It didn't take the two of them long to watch TV. After they finished watching the series, they went to bed.

The child's work and rest schedule is also slowly adjusting. He sleeps very deeply at night, and it's almost the same if you don't say he sleeps all night. Li Long watched a lot of short videos in his previous life, and he knows that it is more important for babies to slowly adjust their work and rest schedule at this time.

If the work and rest schedule is adjusted at this time, when the child grows up, the mother will not be tired and the child will be able to sleep well.

But taking care of two little ones is definitely not easy no matter what.

After breakfast the next day, Li Long went to the Tasi River Pass again. When he arrived, Li Jianguo and his men were still cutting grass in the second field.

Li Long waited for a while at the edge of the field. The herdsman came over and said to Li Long:

"Yesterday, you guys broke a blade while mowing the grass. You said we didn't clean the stones well... We did clean them well, so we must have been careless when mowing the grass..."

Li Long got angry when he heard the man's tone. This was obviously an excuse. He took a step forward and said to the man in a very oppressive manner:
"You should understand clearly that we agreed in advance that you should clear the stones and wood from the land. Otherwise, it will be your responsibility if it affects the weeding! I'm telling you, with your attitude, I'll call the people away right now. Can you weed the remaining dozens of acres of land by yourself? Let's talk it over nicely. I'm not holding you responsible, so don't come here to complain first!"

When the man saw Li Long coming over, he stepped back in fear. After hearing what Li Long said, his face turned red and he began to stammer:

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was... this blade is not strong..."

"A blade! It's made of steel, isn't it strong? Do you want me to try it on you with a blade?" Li Long's voice was so loud that the guy didn't dare to speak anymore.

In fact, although the herdsman the day before did not understand Chinese, Li Long could feel that he was sincere and did what he should do.

Now this herdsman was a bit cunning, and he didn't like him a little.

Because Li Jianguo and his men had not arrived yet, Li Long did not make a big deal out of it. He would ask about it later. If his elder brother and his men had been wronged, Li Long would definitely not let it go.

Seeing Li Long coming and the herdsmen coming over, Li Jianguo and the others guessed that something was wrong. After the tractor with the harvester came over to cut the grass, it stopped at the end of the grassland, and then three people turned off the engine, got out and walked over.

Some of the herdsmen’s relatives and friends who were originally on the grassland also came over.

A lot of people immediately gathered here, and the other side had a lot of people, and they looked like they were coming in a menacing manner.

Li Long was not afraid at all. To be honest, if these people really fought, he would not be their match.

He feels like he can beat three at once!

Ignoring those people, Li Long asked Li Jianguo:
"Brother, what happened just now? Did you suffer any injustice?"

“No, it was just that Dacheng hit an unmarked stone when he was mowing the grass. The stone was completely invisible in the dense grass, and as a result, two blades were knocked off.

It's okay, we have spare parts with us, we can just replace them. When the ranch owner came to see it, Yundong complained a little, and the ranch owner was not happy, saying that it had nothing to do with them. I guess he was afraid that we would blackmail them... How stingy."

Such a thing, Li Long breathed a sigh of relief, at least nothing happened.

He was about to speak to the pasture owner when some people over there had already started talking. Perhaps because they thought there were more people, their tone was rather aggressive.

There were two young men who seemed a bit stupid, and they reached out to push Li Jianguo, probably because they thought that Li Jianguo was the last one among these people. "Pah!" Li Long slapped the man's hand away, then took a step forward, grabbed the young man by the collar and pushed him forward fiercely. The two women behind the young man quickly dodged, and the young man fell to the ground without standing firmly. Although he got up immediately, his body was covered with dust and grass knots, and he looked very embarrassed.

The young man became angry and started to curse loudly. When Xie Yundong heard it, he also started to curse back.

Li Long had already taken action, so naturally the others would not be outdone, nor would they be willing to be weak chickens. They came out to make money, not to be bullied.

"What are you doing?" someone outside shouted, and then shouted twice in Uyghur.

After hearing this, those who had gathered around stopped and stepped back.

Li Long could tell it was Tursun's voice.

I didn’t expect that Tursun had such a high prestige among these people.

Tuerxun squeezed into the crowd, looked at Li Long, then looked at the slightly guilty herder, and asked Li Long first:

"Comrade Li Long, what's going on? Why did you start fighting? It's wrong to hit people!..."

"You saw it too. It was your people who surrounded us!" Li Long would not let him frame him directly. "I was just fighting back - he started it first!"

Li Long pointed at the young man he had knocked down.

Tuersun's face turned pale. These people were really shameless. They started the fight first and then got knocked down.

"Tell me, what happened?" Tursun asked the herdsman.

The herdsman was a little embarrassed. To be honest, he didn't want to make a scene. Li Long had said beforehand that this was actually a very small matter and it would be over once it was over. He just didn't expect that the people on his side were a little impulsive, but they would definitely not admit their mistakes. They took advantage of the fact that most people on Li Long's side didn't understand Uyghur and exaggerated the story.

Xie Yundong knew Li Long's temper, so he immediately translated what the man said. He spoke Chinese, and while translating, he told the truth.

Tuerxun could understand what was said, and he was so angry that he wanted to beat the herdsman. There were people who knew Uyghur and worked well yesterday. He didn't believe that these people were arrogant, picky about food and didn't work hard, as the herdsman said.

He was not blind. He knew that the harvested grass on the pasture was there. It was not neat and tidy, but at least all the grass that should have been harvested had been harvested. The remaining grass, if viewed from a distance, was dotted with stones or tree roots.

When he first came over, he saw from afar the herdsmen surrounding people, and he also saw the young man shouting and starting the fight. As the captain of a team, although he wanted to side with his own people, he couldn't openly close his eyes and talk nonsense.

Tursun turned his head and looked at Li Long.

"You heard it too," Li Long said coldly, "We won't mow his lawn anymore. If we cooperate with such a person, I'm worried that he will blackmail us after we're done mowing! The rules were agreed upon in advance, and he broke the contract first. We don't need him to compensate for the loss of our lawn mower, but he can find someone else to mow the lawn."

Tursun said with some embarrassment:

"Comrade Li Long, there are only a few dozen acres left, so you should finish the work. Don't worry, I'll be watching here, and I guarantee they won't cause any trouble. Besides, I heard him say that you've collected the things too. If we don't work on the last bit, it will be troublesome, right?"

Tuersun was a good man. If he had spoken harshly or shown some favoritism to his people, Li Long would have left on the spot.

There's nothing to be afraid of just because there are crowds of people. He even has a gun in his car.

But since the captain was discussing things in a friendly manner, Li Long couldn't just leave in such a tough manner. He turned around and asked Li Jianguo:

"Brother, look..."

"Let's finish the fight. There aren't many left." Li Jianguo nodded and said, "It's not a big deal. This guy is just a little impulsive."

Tursun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Li Jianguo said. He could feel that Li Jianguo meant a lot to Li Long.

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse and go do what you need to do. Are you all right? If not, go and pile up the grass!" Tursun yelled at those people.

"Okay, let's finish the rest and then move on." Li Long said to Li Jianguo, Xie Yundong and the other two, "Oh, by the way, let's stop for a moment. I brought some oil. Let's add some first. I brought a lot, so each person should have an extra barrel."

This bucket is a 25-liter bucket, not a big iron bucket.

It is definitely enough, but Li Long has to pull it over every day.

After refueling, the tractor continued to drive to cut grass. Tuerxun took the pasture owner aside and gave him a lecture, then came over and said to Li Long with a smile:
"Cade's coming over soon. His pasture is bigger, and the grass isn't very good, but the slope is gentle, so it's easy to play on."

Li Long nodded and asked:

"Where's the next pasture?"

"It's in another ditch. Tomorrow, after Kader finishes cutting the grass, I'll have someone come over to wait at the pasture, and then he'll take you there. Don't worry, I'll tell them in advance so this won't happen again."

Since he said so, Li Long believed it. Tuerxun handled the situation quite well and did not directly side with Heilili and the others.

Li Long waited here, and soon the herdsman named Kader came over. Kader was in his forties or nearly fifty, with two large sacks on his horse. Li Long guessed that he was here to exchange for hay money.

When Tursun saw Kader coming, he first went over to stop him and talked to him a lot, and then brought his people to meet Li Long.

Hei Lili understood some Chinese, but Kader understood nothing at all. He looked like a relatively honest herdsman, and was a little nervous when facing Li Long.

Probably in order to ease the awkward situation just caused by Hei Lili, Tursun pointed to the sack on the horse's back and asked Kader to take it down and hand it over to Li Long.

He was quite familiar with the family backgrounds of these people, so Tursun didn't think much of the things they brought.

But when Carder opened the sack, he was shocked.

The first thing you see is a bear skin.

Li Long could also smell blood. Although the leather was not big and had bullet holes on it, it was obvious that it had just been shot.

Kader said a few words, and although Tursun felt a little regretful, he still translated it truthfully.

"This is the skin of the small bear he hunted in the mountains yesterday. His family has 450 acres of grassland, and the more cattle and sheep they have, the more grass they need to cut. He estimated that this bear skin could be worth 500 yuan - it's a small bear. There are also some other skins, which together can cover the cost of cutting grass."

Tursun was more familiar with the other skins, as he had seen them before: two wolf skins and one ibex skin.

There are no velvet antlers, but there are two pairs of antlers, and that's all there is.

The bear bile was not there. Li Long guessed that Kader probably knew that bear bile was expensive, so he left it there.

However, having a bear skin like this, even though it has bullet holes, it is enough to be used.

He nodded.

Kader smiled, very satisfied, and said a few more words.

Tuersun also calmed down and said:
"Cade's still worried that it's not enough. Now that it's enough, let's go cut the grass later."

"Captain, you need to explain the situation to him clearly, especially the stones in the grass, so that the blade won't be damaged again. After all, they don't have many spare parts." Li Long said.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you now." (End of this chapter)
