Chapter 80 This trip is not about making money
Li Long didn’t say much and just looked at Section Chief Hu.
“If it is all this kind of mutton, then I will really accept some.” Section Chief Hu finally made the decision, “But it depends on the situation. If the quality of the mutton you bring is not as good as this, then it will be better. Said something else.”
“I can guarantee this. ." Li Long breathed a sigh of relief, but remained confident on the surface, "The sheep are being slaughtered now. Even if the fresh mutton is frozen for a day and a half, the quality will not change."
"That's okay, I'll do it. Waiting for you to bring the mutton." Section Chief Hu nodded and said.
"I still have to trouble you." Li Long hurriedly stopped Chief Hu, "Then let's set the price. If they are all this kind of mutton..."
Chief Hu looked at it again With the leg of lamb in his hand, he said:
“If it’s all this kind of mutton, then I can make it Master, nine cents per kilogram..."
"Chief Hu, I don't want meat tickets. Not only do you want such good meat here, but also from the woolen mill..."
< br>"Then what price do you want?" Section Chief Hu was a little unhappy. This young man was a little greedy. If the other party says come on, he will turn around and leave.
"Ninety-five cents." Li Long smiled, "At least give our friend who slaughters the sheep five cents for labor. In this cold day, the temperature in the mountains is even lower..."
"Okay." It didn't touch Chief Hu's psychological bottom line. In addition, Chief Hu also lived in the mountains and knew what the conditions were like there.
"Thank you, Chief Hu. I'll go pull the sheep now!" Although Li Long knew that this kind of verbal promise was not very credible, he was still very happy.
At least there is no need to hang it in the supply and marketing cooperative.
After leaving the sugar factory, Tao Daqiang belatedly reminded Li Long:
"Brother Long, I haven't got the leg of lamb back yet."
"Then I'll give it to someone else." Li Long smiled, "We just tell others that we want to sell him the sheep. Why should they do it?" Believe it? Chief Hu must at least have something to let others know. He can get the sheep."
"What should we do now?" Tao Daqiang understood.
"Go and sell the fish first, and then go to the mountains."
The fish I brought this time were not too many, so I went around the old street and the woolen mill's family home and sold them. After that, Li Long and Tao Daqiang ate the pancakes and hurried to the mountains.
In front of Harimu's winter nest, a dozen slaughtered sheep were frozen in the snow, and he was still busy skinning the sheep that had just been slaughtered.
The grandmother, wife, and two children are all helping.
They had no doubt at all about what Li Long had promised. In their thinking, if they promise something to their friends, they must do it.
"Harimu, I slaughtered twelve sheep here," Yushanjiang came over on horseback from a distance, dragging a "meat bag" wrapped in a large plastic sheet.
“I already have fourteen here.” Harimu said with a smile, “We can almost get thirty sheep today.”
"That should satisfy Li Long." Yushanjiang tied the horse and began to untie the "meat buns."
"It should be fine." Harimu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's just that the smell of blood here is too strong, and wolves may come here at night."
"It's the same over there. , But I can't wait any longer." Yushanjiang said with a smile, "I'll lay an ambush tonight. , Let’s see how many wolves we can catch. The little wolves are so annoying that they will come to steal sheep from time to time.”
“Similarly, let’s see how many wolves we can catch tonight.”
While the two people were talking, the sharp-eyed Nathan suddenly pointed at the mountain pass and shouted.
Everyone looked over there.
"Li Long is here." Harimu said with a smile, "You can take a rest today." "That's right." Yushanjiang also said cheerfully, "Slaughter this sheep, I will That’s almost enough fodder.”
Li Long and Tao Daqiang rushed the carriage to the "parking space". He smiled, stretched out his hands and said to Harimu:
"Adaxi, Jiax! ”
"Okay, okay, I won't hug you anymore." Harimu raised his hand and said, "It's all blood."
"How many are there?" Li Long asked, "Brother Yushanjiang's sheep are also here. "Come here?"
"We are together," Yushanjiang said with a smile. Starting from sale."
"Time is tight, so I won't say more," Li Long said, "Let's load the car now, and load as much as possible." Four big men can load the car very quickly. After all, the carriage had a limited capacity, and in the end it only contained twenty-two sheep, which were tied with ropes.
These days, most transportation is still horse-drawn and donkey-carts, so loading is a basic operation for these grown men.
"I'm anxious to deliver the sheep to the buyer now." Li Long took out one hundred and twenty yuan from his pocket, divided it into two parts and said to Harimu and Yushanjiang:
"This is the deposit , you take it, I will pay when I come back after the sheep are sold. By the way, if you don’t want to eat the sheep, you can also keep it for me.”
Harimu and Yushanjiang still refused, Li said. Long stuffed the money into them and led the carriage back.
He is really in a hurry. This money was collected from selling fish today. He also wanted to spend more, but he really didn't have any money.
Halimu and Yushanjiang looked at each other and had to put the money away first. Watching Li Long's carriage leave the mountain pass, Yu Shanjiang said:
"I have to go back as soon as possible and clean up the water."
"Me too." Harimu looked back at the door of his house, "But fortunately, the big problem has been solved. At least I can sleep well." ."
"This is the truth." Yu Shanjiang smiled and rode away.
There is enough fodder, and you don’t have to worry about the sheep dying one by one when the snow melts. It feels good.
What’s the point of being tired?
Now put those sheep's bellies clean. Although the intestines cannot be washed, they can still be cleaned inside.
Li Long and Tao Daqiang carefully drove the carriage to the entrance of the sugar factory.
The reason why Li Long did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative was because he felt that Director Li would never be able to pay 95 cents per kilogram at the county supply and marketing cooperative.
Then there is a lot here, so let’s stick to this side first.
The guard Xiao Wang looked at the high carriages and said in surprise:
"In less than half a day, you got so many sheep? You said that there is someone who specializes in slaughtering sheep, so it is true?"
"Comrade Wang, right? Please give Section Chief Hu a call. "Li Long's nervous heart finally relaxed. The road was slippery, and he was really worried that if the tied sheep rack collapsed halfway, it would be really difficult for him and Tao Daqiang on the roadside.
Chief Hu soon appeared at the door of the sugar factory, not only him, but also other people in the factory.
"How is it? Director, I'm not talking nonsense!" Chief Hu's face was red, "How is our efficiency in doing things?"
It turns out that Li Long didn't do anything after he left. It didn't take long for the news to come to the factory to bring in sheep. It spread all the way to the factory director.
The factory director thought this was a good thing, but someone said that the sheep would arrive today, which put Section Chief Hu on a raft.
He couldn’t guarantee that Li Long would arrive on the same day!
After all, it is just a verbal promise from the other party, so how much can you trust it?
Now that the sheep have arrived, Section Chief Hu’s anxious heart has finally calmed down. He still has to act calm and calm, but everything is under control.
"Okay, okay, Chief Hu, you have done a great thing this time! Lao Qin from the agricultural machinery factory is still laughing at me. This time I want to make him look good. What does his little mutton count? We are here It’s called welfare!”
