Chapter 60 The Li boy went out again
Li Long got up before dawn the next day. It is good for this body to be young. Once the biological clock is formed, it is fixed. Going to bed early and getting up early makes him feel extremely energetic.
Have breakfast first, and then go to the horse number to set up the carriage. Lao Luo also carefully loaded a bale of straw.
Coming out of the horse stable, before Li Long could call someone, Tao Daqiang had already followed.
“Have you eaten?”
"I ate and drank fish soup."
"That's not bad."
The two of them talked for a while, and when they returned to Li's house, they took three bags of fish. After loading, the two people drove the carriage and headed out.
Li Long went to sell fish again. The news quickly spread among the production team.
“You really haven’t done enough, don’t you believe in evil? You’ll be honest when you get caught!”
"The second son of the Li family is really a troublemaker. He stays away from home every day and runs out every day. Sooner or later he will be caught and locked up!"
"Is this because he is trying to get money? The captain is also used to it. Him!”
Also People are doubting:
"People in the city are so short of fish? They are tired of eating just two meals at home. How can they eat it every day? Who will sell the fish to?"
"I am running around every day. , you must earn a lot, right?”
And there are naturally more people who are envious:
"Since the waiter of the Li family dares to run, there must be a way that others don't know. He knows that Gu Ermao and Tao Dayong are caught and still dares to run, so he is not afraid , is there someone up there?”
The Lu family’s sister-in-law came to visit Li’s house and asked Li Long about selling fish.
After seeing Li Juan and Li Qiang’s new shoes, toys, and schoolbags, the Lu family’s sister-in-law couldn’t stop praising Li Long, and then asked to introduce someone to Li Long.
Liang Yuemei still said that she had to listen to Li Long himself. At the moment, Li Long didn't have such thoughts.
This is the truth. She actually took the time to tell Li Long the person the Lu family's sister-in-law wanted to introduce. Li Long had an impression of that girl. In her previous life, she also married a young man from the village. How should I put it, it's not Li Long's thing.
Li Long didn’t know that the people in the team were talking a lot. He and Tao Daqiang rushed to the county for more than an hour, bought four meat buns, two for each person, and ate while rushing to Shicheng, waiting for Arrived in Shicheng around twelve o'clock.
With a carriage, it is faster than Li Long walking on his own.
"Brother Long, are you still going to that family home?" Tao Daqiang asked without remembering the way.
“For another one, go to the family home of the Bayi Sugar Factory.”
Sugarcane cannot be grown in northern Xinjiang, but there is another sugar-making raw material - beet, also called sugar radish. In his previous life, Li Jianguo developed himself into a professional pig farmer. What he grew most was sugar beets, whose leaves could be broken off, minced, mixed with other things, and cooked to feed the pigs.
After the beet grows, it is better to cut it into slices and cook it to feed pigs - of course, the best use of growing it in rural areas now is to boil sugar syrup first, and then feed the waste to pigs, which is completely use.
In the past two years, Li Jianguo has been raising pigs. In order to get pig feed, he has gone to the Bayi Sugar Factory more than once to pick up the waste from their sugar factory. After the sugar factory processes the sugar beets, the waste is thrown away directly. , there is no awareness of recycling yet.
So Li Long was very familiar with the way to the Bayi Sugar Factory.
Arrived at the courtyard of the sugar factory, Li Long asked Tao Daqiang to wait outside with the carriage, wipe the sweat of the horse, rest, and then feed the grass, while he walked into the courtyard carrying a bag of fish.
A familiar routine, except this time the concierge didn't buy fish, but he didn't stop him either.
Entering the yard and seeing people walking around, Li Long unfolded the plastic sheet he bought the day before, placed fish on it one by one, and whispered:
"I'm selling fish, fresh ones." Big carp, cheap!”
The voice was not loud, but it quickly attracted the attention of those people.
Two people hesitated and came over, while two others did not move.
"How did you sell this fish?"
"Where did you catch this fish?"
"The fish was caught from the Ma County Reservoir. It is a pure wild fish. Look at the carp's head and tail. , so beautiful. The price is not expensive, two yuan a piece. Look at the size of these fish, they are more than two kilograms, and the price per kilogram is less than one yuan——"
I have sold fish a lot, Li Long said He also became proficient in the art. This time, in two days, Li Jianguo and Tao Daqiang caught more than 70 "standard large fish" and more than 20 kilograms of "standard crucian carp", which was the most since Li Long sold fish.
"Two yuan? It's expensive. Can it be cheaper?" Some people want to buy it, but they will raise the price as a habit.
“Sister, this is really not expensive.” Li Long cried out his grievances, “Now the ice in the reservoir is almost one meter thick, and we fought at minus 30 degrees for more than two hours. You can really earn a lot of hard money in this hole in the ice. Look at this fish. It’s red under the gills and very fresh. It was fished out just yesterday. We walked four hours to get there. It’s not expensive to get here!”
“Then…I’ll take one. What kind of fish is this?”
“Wudaohei, this fish is meat with garlic cloves. Eat small fish. Yes, it tastes great!”
“Is this Wudaohei? Then I’m...a carp, a Wudaohei!”
"Okay, let me put some thin wire on you?" Li Long asked.
"Okay, young man, you are very thoughtful."
Li Long skillfully passed the thin wire through the gill cover, threaded the fish and handed it over, and the other party took out five yuan. Li Long pointed at the small fish and said:
"This crucian carp costs fifteen yuan, which is almost two kilograms. I will give you the remaining one yuan to get the small fish?"
"Okay? . But how can I get the small fish?”
"It's hard to wear Xiaoyu. How about you go back first, sister, and get a basin to hold it in? I can't run away."
"Okay."
Once the business is done, take it Coming down was much smoother.
It’s just that people at the sugar factory are not as enthusiastic about buying fish as at the farm machinery factory. Although people come to buy from time to time, more than half an hour has passed and the bag of fish has not been sold out.
When it was lunch time, there was no one in the family courtyard, and the smell of rice wafted in the courtyard.
Li Long decided to close the stall and change places.
He collected the fish and walked out of the family courtyard with his bag on his back.
The guard saw it and shouted:
"Young man, if you want to sell fish, you have to come in the afternoon. Everyone is in the factory at this time."
" Thank you, uncle." Li Long took out a silver carp from the bag and handed it over:
"It's for you to eat."
"Then I'll accept it." The guard didn't expect to get a fish in exchange for a word, so he happily accepted it.
Tao Daqiang saw that there was still a third of the bag Li Long was carrying, and asked:
"Brother Long, can't you sell the fish?"
"Yeah , the time is wrong, let’s go to the old street!”
Shicheng Old Street has always been relatively famous. There are buses to several cities in northern Xinjiang and there are many people coming and going.
After Li Long arrived, he changed his bag and asked Tao Daqiang to park the carriage far away. He carried his bag and asked when he met someone:
"Fresh big carp" , Sell it cheap, do you want it?”
Ask if one of the ten people would stop and reply, but Li Long was not discouraged and quickly sold one fish after another.
Half an hour later, a bag of fish was sold out.
Most of the people driving here are going home to celebrate the New Year. Many of them are carrying large and small bags. They have already prepared a lot of New Year's goods and don't care about one or two more fish.
After another hour, there was only half a bag of fish left on the carriage.
Li Long could no longer shout and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Let's go have a meal." Li Long said to Tao Daqiang, "Follow me."
There are still three or four hours until dark. Li Long is confident that after dinner, it will be dark. The fish can be sold out before dark.
