Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 83 Li Long Does Not Want to Be Controlled
It was noon when the carriage arrived at the county town. Li Long said to Tao Daqiang:
"Let's go eat something first, and then come back. The supply and marketing cooperative should be closed for lunch now."

The two of them went to the big meat canteen, but because there was a carriage outside, it was not convenient to go in directly to eat, so they bought a few big meat buns and ate outside.

However, the middle-aged man in the restaurant recognized Li Long and asked with a smile:
"How do you sell this mutton?"

"One kilogram for one yuan." Li Long said while eating the buns, "But we are selling wholesale. The supply and marketing cooperative wants ten sheep."

"One piece, no meat ticket?"

"Of course not."

"Not bad. The meat looks good. It must have been slaughtered not long ago, right?" The middle-aged man was an expert and could tell at a glance.

"Yes, just pulled it from the mountains."

"Can you get some fresh grass-fed lamb from the mountains?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. "Can you get some? If you can, how about bringing two to our canteen?"

"Sure." Li Long was naturally willing to do the business he encountered. He asked again: "Do you want to go in?"

"Yes, I want it after I wash it clean." The middle-aged man saw Li Long finish eating the buns and handed him a cigarette. "Although most people here eat meat, offal is also a good dish. If someone orders it, we will make it, but there are not many offal in the butcher shop."

"It's easy to store in the winter. I can get quite a lot. It depends on how much you want." Li Long thought of the sheep offal from Halimu, lit a cigarette and took a puff and said.

The middle-aged man also handed Tao Daqiang a cigarette. Tao Daqiang took it with a red face, but did not smoke it.

"My name is Zhong Guoqiang, and I'm the manager of the Big Meat Canteen." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "If you have anything, bring it to me, and I'll take it when I see the situation. How do you think?"

"Will you take in game?" Li Long remembered that he actually liked the feeling of hunting. "I can get wild boars, wolves, roe deer and the like."

"Forget about the wolves. We'll take the others, but not much. After all, we don't do wholesale here. We usually use them for cooking." Zhong Guoqiang thought for a while and said, "Luckily it's winter now, so we can take more."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you when I get something." Li Long was very happy. This was equivalent to having another channel for shipping.

After all, it is impossible to get all the good things collected in the purchasing stations when going into the mountains. On the contrary, hunting can get a lot of meat, which cannot be eaten at home, especially after the snow melts. It will be too big to store it at home. It would be best if you can find a place to sell it for money.

Zhong Guoqiang was still busy. After Li Long and his friends finished eating the buns, they drove the horse-drawn carriage to the supply and marketing cooperative compound.

Mr. Li, the gatekeeper, was very happy to see Li Long and his friends coming, and invited Li Long into the house to warm himself by the fire.

"It's okay, old man. Let's wait for Section Chief Li to come."

"There are still ten minutes before work starts. He should be here soon." The old man said, "You guys can do it. Bring the sheep over right away—"

Li Long wanted to know how much Section Chief Li Xiangqian would pay for his sheep, so he asked:

"Old man, how much does your supply and marketing cooperative charge for sheep?"

"Your sheep, I think it should be at least 80 cents a piece, right?" The old man was unsure, "It depends on what Xiao Li says. He has the final say on purchasing matters."

Hearing that the price was acceptable, Li Long felt relieved.

Twenty minutes later, Li Long felt his feet were almost frozen. He kept moving in the snow. Finally, he saw Li Xiangqian staggering towards him.

Before I even got close, I could smell alcohol.

"Oh, the young man really brought the sheep here." Li Xiangqian saw the carriage loaded with sheep from a distance, but he was not in a hurry. He walked up to it and said:
"Well, these sheep look like they were just slaughtered. There are ten of them, right?" "Well, bring ten first." Li Long had some hidden meaning in his words, but he didn't say anything definite.

"Why, you want to check the price, right?" Although Li Xiangqian had drunk a little, he was very sober and immediately understood what Li Long meant. "Let me take a look. Your sheep is fresh, but not fat enough. It's also an old sheep, right?"

When Tao Daqiang heard him finding fault, before Li Long could say anything, he couldn't help it.

These are obviously good mutton, how could this person do this?

When I went to the sugar factory to sell a sheep, they didn't say anything and just weighed it and paid for it.

Li Long could see that Tao Daqiang was unhappy, so he quickly reached out and pulled Daqiang, signaling Daqiang not to speak. Tao Daqiang also realized that Li Long was in charge and he just needed to listen.

How could Brother Long not see that this person was finding fault? He was being reckless.

Li Xiangqian said several words, but he didn't hear Li Long's rebuttal, which surprised him a little. Normally, Li Long was a hot-blooded young man, and in such a situation, he would just say a few words and the other party would definitely return the favor. But today, Li Long's performance impressed him.

Seeing that Li Long was just smiling and not responding, he was not interested in continuing the conversation. He reached out and knocked on the mutton and said:

"But since you've brought it here, I'll take it. It's 60 cents a kilogram. If you agree, come to the hospital to have it weighed. If you don't agree, you can take it away."

"Okay, Chief Li, see you later."

When he heard the price of sixty cents, Li Long didn't even bother to bargain. He just pulled the reins and said to Tao Daqiang:
"Daqiang, let's go."

Li Xiangqian was dumbfounded. Shouldn't they bargain for the price and then take the initiative to control the situation? Why didn't this young man play by the rules?
Old man Li, who was watching the excitement at the door, was also a little surprised. He rolled his eyes, reacted, and laughed and scolded:
"Xiang Qian, you messed up, didn't you? They didn't take your trick! You don't think they can't sell this sheep, do you?"

"Then where else can I collect ten sheep at once except here?" Li Xiangqian really didn't believe it and continued to say stubbornly:
"Uncle, I'm telling you this. In less than three minutes, he will turn around and beg me to take the sheep!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Old Man Li saw that Li Long really wanted to leave, so he waved his hand and said, "You've been a purchasing agent for a long time, and you think you have everything under control. But today, it's not necessarily true!"

After that, he asked Li Long and shouted:

"Young man, where are you going to sell your sheep?"

The old man had been nice to Li Long before, so it was impossible for Li Long not to respond. He did not stop, but turned his head and said:
"Shicheng Sugar Factory, they also need sheep, they are giving out welfare during the Spring Festival..."

"Fuck you," Li Xiangqian suddenly realized that people didn't have to sell sheep in Ma County! Shicheng has a large population, so its purchasing power is much stronger than Ma County!

"How's it going, Chief Li? The sheep flew away! I heard that you told others that you could get a sheep..."

"I can still get sheep even without him!" Li Xiangqian continued to be stubborn, "There are so many people raising sheep in the county..."

"So you were able to get ten at once? Or did they deliver to your door?"

Li Xiangqian remained silent.

But he still felt a little unwilling. Was he going to be controlled by the young man like this?
