Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Jia Tianlong turned around and asked Li Long unwillingly:
"Xiao Li, can you give me this jade? I want to take it home and pray to it often. I think if I pray to it often, I will definitely have no problem having a son."

Li Long shook his head. This was a matter of principle and could not be discussed.

"One hundred thousand?" Jia Tianlong gritted his teeth. Although he had made a lot of money in the past two years in the medicinal materials business, to be honest. After all, not many people could go this route, and not everyone knew how good the medicinal materials in Northern Xinjiang were. But making money required connections, and with only two years, the accumulation was still a little insufficient.

Therefore, being able to take out 100,000 yuan in cash is his limit.

A lot of goods were pressed.

Li Long still shook his head.

Jia Tianlong also shook his head as if disappointed.

"Tianlong, we are lucky enough to have the chance to meet this jade, to have a child, and to come here to worship. This is already very good. We should be content." Qiao Fengzhi persuaded her husband softly.

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right. Let's go inside. It's cold outside." Li Long said hurriedly.

It was indeed quite cold outside, so Jia Tianlong and Qiao Fengzhi followed Li Long into the master bedroom.

Sister Yang was in the bedroom with her two children. When she saw someone coming in, she came out and greeted them.

Jia Tianlong knew Sister Yang, and Li Long introduced her to Qiao Fengzhi. Qiao Fengzhi heard the voices of two children, so she took off her coat in the house and wanted to see the children.

"Warm yourself up first. You just came in from outside and you are cold." Sister Yang reminded, "The baby is small and cannot be exposed to the cold."

Li Long was very happy. Sister Yang was very considerate to the two children. In fact, if Sister Yang didn't remind him, he would have said it.

Qiao Fengzhi blushed, feeling a little ashamed. On the one hand, she was eager to see the child, as she had heard that Li Long had twins. She had been married for so many years without having any children, but she loved children very much, so she was eager to see them.

On the other hand, she had never taken care of a child and didn't quite understand these things.

Sister Yang didn't mean to blame her. It was normal for people who had never given birth to a child not to know. She was actually curious about why Li Long knew more than Gu Xiaoxia.

Of course, after knowing the backgrounds of both sides, it was guessed that Li Long had his sister-in-law to guide him, and Gu Xiaoxia's mother was not around, so no one told her and it was normal that she knew less.

Jia Tianlong and Li Long were chatting about recent events, and Jia Tianlong asked Li Long if he had received anything since he left.

Li Long smiled and said:

"Yes, but not much. I took a bear's gall and some codonopsis. Do you want to see it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course!" Jia Tianlong immediately became excited when he heard about bear gall. "Our place is not like the old forests in Northeast China. Bear gall is very rare. It's really not easy to get it. Where is it? Let's go and have a look!"

As soon as Jia Tianlong sat down and Li Long poured him some tea, he immediately stood up.

The last time I came here, Jia Tianlong knew that the room where Li Long kept his things was not here, so he was about to walk out.

After walking two steps, Jia Tianlong stopped again and said to his wife Qiao Fengzhi:

"Fengzhi, it's cold outside, just sit here. When it's warm, go look after the two children with Sister Yang and give them the gifts you brought. Let's also get some blessings from the Li family, haha."

Li Long stood up and walked out with Jia Tianlong.

The temperature outside during the day was around minus ten degrees Celsius. It was still early winter, not yet freezing cold enough for water to freeze.

Li Long brought Jia Tianlong to the east wing. He opened the door of the second wing, entered the room and handed Jia Tian two bags filled with dried Codonopsis pilosula.

However, Jia Tianlong took the bag without looking at it, his eyes fell on the bear gall.

The bear gall was not big, after all, the bear that Li Long had killed was not big. But the quality of the bear gall was very good. Jia Tianlong pointed at the bear gall on the roof and said:
"I think it's dry. Can you take it down and have a look?"

Li Long smiled, picked up the rope tied on the bear gall with a pole, took it off, and handed it to Jia Tianlong to see.

After Jia Tianlong got the bear gall, he looked at it carefully.

Although the bear gall was not big, its color looked really good. He put the gall to his nose and smelled it, and the smell was also very good.

"Will you sell this bear gall? If you do, I'll take one thousand yuan."

"If you want to give me money, of course I will take it." Li Long said with a smile.

He guessed that the real price of the bear gall should be less than one thousand, but since Jia Tianlong was willing to sell it to him, why not give him some face?

Li Long still thinks this is just a coincidence, but it is really too much of a coincidence.

At first, Jia Tianlong was very interested in the jade, and felt that whether he could have a child depended on it.

I didn’t get it, I just hugged and touched her, and she got pregnant when I went back?

It's a bit too metaphysical.

But Qiao Fengzhi really did get pregnant, so Jia Tianlong naturally attributed part of the credit to the stone.

Li Long was wondering, after this news spread, would someone come to his yard to worship the stone?
Although we talk about science at this time, to be honest, there are many people who believe in metaphysics.

It seems that Jia Tianlong believes it without a doubt. Li Long even suspects that when Qiao Fengzhi gives birth to a child next year and the child can be brought out, she will bring the child here to worship the jade.

Hey, isn’t this how this most primitive worship came about?
"This Codonopsis is not bad." Jia Tianlong picked up a Codonopsis, looked at it, broke off a piece and chewed it, and said, "It tastes very good. How many of these are there?"

"Seventeen kilograms." Li Long said, "How much do you want?"

"Thirty yuan." Jia Tianlong said, "There are not many wild Codonopsis pilosula this big. In Gansu Province, I charge more than twenty yuan for smaller ones. Some people are growing them now."

"Row."

Li Long naturally had no objection.

Jia Tianlong took off the black bag and prepared to pay.

When he lowered his head and saw a stone on the ground, he bent down and picked it up.

"Hey, Xiao Li, you have a lot of jade here, even a piece of Mahe Jasper..."

Jia Tianlong then discovered that there were a lot of jades of different sizes piled up in the corner of the wing room.

Some are of average quality, the kind with fly poop on them, while others are of good quality, looking very pure and beautiful.

Li Long smiled and said:

"I spend half of the year in the mountains. There are many good things in our mountains. Some of them are picked up, and some are collected."

"Sell me a few pieces? If you don't want to sell the big ones, you can sell the small ones, right?" Jia Tianlong thought that they were all from the same jade mountain, and if he couldn't get the big jade, it would be okay to take a few small ones, right? It would be a wish, right?

"This is not cheap." In Jia Tianlong's hand was a piece of relatively pure Mahe jade.

Li Long has more than a dozen pieces of such jasper, and he basically never sold them afterwards. He has been collecting them all the time, including Hetian jade.

He planned to keep them until around the decade of the new century, when the prices were very high, and then sell them out.

He himself was not very interested in jade, he just wanted to make money. As for how much the price would rise in the future, he had no idea. He just wanted to plant cotton on a large scale, and it would be machine-picked cotton.

A cotton picker costs two to three million. At his current rate of earning, he will definitely not be able to save that much cash by then. He sold some of these jades. He believed that the seed materials in his hands must be top-grade sheep fat materials.

It's the kind that costs hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands per gram.

Sell ​​it and buy a cotton picker, then I will be the most handsome man in the village, township, and even the county.

Despite having lived two lives, Li Long's thinking is still that of a traditional farmer. No matter what he does, he will always make use of the land.

Of course, the most important point is that he still hopes to take root in this land.

It’s not as if he hadn’t seen digital currencies, stock trading, and the like when watching short videos in his previous life, but he didn’t care much about them at the time, thinking that those things were too far away from him.

It is more in line with one's identity to work hard on the land and in the mountains.

The jades placed in the wing room are mainly jasper. Although some of them do not have black spots, Li Long can sell them or not.

Since Jia Tianlong wanted it, Li Long didn't refuse and let him choose.

"Hey, you have some more skins here... Oh, there are bear skins and snow leopard skins! These are different from the last time, are they newly made?" Jia Tianlong asked when he saw the skins piled in another corner.

"Well, this time the herdsmen collected it when they returned from their migration." Li Long did not hide it.

"Only you, who has a good relationship with the herdsmen, can receive such good things. When we went to the mountains, they didn't even show us, let alone sell them." Jia Tianlong also admired Li Long's ability.

In the end, he bought bear gall, Codonopsis pilosula, and jade, a total of ten thousand worth of things from Li Long.

The main thing was jade. He picked out more than a dozen pieces of jade, the big ones weighing seven or eight kilograms, and the small ones weighing one or two kilograms. One of them had black spots on it, but the shape was very beautiful, like a big peach. Jia Tianlong liked it very much and took it away.

Qiao Fengzhi felt her whole body warm and stood up.

Sister Yang over there heard the voice, opened the door curtain, and waved to Qiao Fengzhi with a smile.

Qiao Fengzhi hurried over there, and when she reached the door she stepped lightly for fear of disturbing the child.

Entering the bedroom, I saw two children sitting and playing on a specially made wooden bed. When the two children saw someone coming in, they looked at Qiao Fengzhi, smiled at her, and then started playing together. Mingming and Haohao didn't sit for long, and soon lay down again, one pulling the little socks on his feet, and the other holding his feet and stuffing them into his mouth.

"How old are they?"

"Five months." Sister Yang said with a smile, "It's still strong."

"They can sit up at five months? This kid... is amazing!" Qiao Fengzhi exclaimed. She walked to the wooden bed and watched the two children playing there by themselves.

Mingming and Haohao seemed to know that someone was watching them. They looked at Qiao Fengzhi, then looked at Sister Yang, then smiled and went back to playing. This time, the two children faced each other, you held my hand, I pulled your clothes, and tried to pull the other person towards us.

"It's so fun!" Qiao Fengzhi exclaimed as she watched.

She had seen many children in her hometown, but she had never seen such a well-behaved couple.

"He's very easy to take care of." Sister Yang said with a smile, "Most of the time he plays by himself. He just cries when he's hungry, but he doesn't cry much."

"I hope my children can be this easy to raise in the future." Although she has no children, Qiao Fengzhi knows that raising children is hard work.

The two in front of me are really different.

She took out two small gold locks from her bag and placed them next to the two children.

Qiao Fengzhi originally wanted to give it to her child, but she was afraid that she would hurt the child because of her clumsy hands.

"This..." Sister Yang didn't know whether she should accept it or not.

Jia Tianlong brought his wife here mainly to worship the jade, but Qiao Fengzhi wanted to see the twins.

After watching it, she hoped that her child could be like one of these two.

When Li Long and Jia Tianlong came back, Sister Yang told them about this.

"Accept it." Li Long knew that this was the intention of the two people, and they also wanted to rely on the blessing of their own child, so he accepted it.

Finally, Li Long drove them to the county guesthouse - it was difficult for Jia Tianlong to leave with so many things.

"You want to sell those leathers too, right?" Jia Tianlong finally asked Li Long.

"Yes, for sale."

"Then don't worry. I'll call Lao Zhao when I have time. If he knows, he will definitely come. The bear skin and snow leopard skin are not ordinary - Lao Zhao has been collecting snow leopard skins. Many people want this stuff!"

Li Long said he knew.

After returning to the courtyard and turning off the engine, Li Long went over to the jade stone and saw that the copper incense burner and three plates of offerings were still there. The incense burner did not look like an ordinary object and must be quite old.

Xiao Hei was jumping and dancing in the doghouse, so Li Long put away the three plates of things, put the incense burner on the brick table, and then went to untie Xiao Hei.

As soon as Xiao Hei was freed from the restraints, he immediately rushed out, running quickly in the yard, and even dived into the snow piled in the flower field.

Apparently, it still doesn't like being tied up.

Li Long originally wanted to put away the incense burner, but then he thought better of it.

Maybe Jia Tianlong would come back suddenly and see that this thing was gone, and he would be in a difficult position to explain.

He is a rather shameless person. If people are nice to him, he would not do anything to embarrass them.

During dinner, Li Long told Gu Xiaoxia and Gu Boyuan about Jia Tianlong and his wife's visit. He didn't mention the sale of bear gall and jade. Anyway, these things were brought back by him, and Gu Xiaoxia didn't care much about it, so she just sold them.

Gu Xiaoxia never asked him about money. She had kept the last 7,000 yuan and was earning interest on it. She was also secretly saving her own salary.

This time the matter was more metaphysical, so Li Long just treated it as gossip.

"You mean, his wife is really pregnant?" Gu Xiaoxia also found it a little unbelievable. "Isn't this too coincidental?"

Gu Boyuan didn't say anything, as if he was just listening to it as a joke.

Sister Yang pursed her lips as she listened. After dinner, Li Long, Gu Xiaoxia and others went to the bedroom. After Gu Boyuan went back, Sister Yang cleaned up the kitchen and went to look at the jade again.

There was indeed an incense burner next to the jade. Sister Yang was not really thinking about worshipping anything, she was just wondering if this thing really had a spirit? If it did, would she have to burn incense to it every day?

Sister Yang is more wary of these things than Li Long and the others.

No matter whether it works or not, it always helps to be a little respectful.

A few days later, another guest came to Li Long's yard.

This time it was Zhao Hui who came over. (End of this chapter)
