Chapter 87 Selling off sheep
The Li family was selling sheep off to off one by one. Li Long and Tao Daqiang had already driven their carriage to the big meat canteen.
Li Long asked Tao Daqiang to wait outside. He went in and found Zhong Guoqiang who was greeting guests there.
"Hello, Manager Zhong." Li Long stepped forward and said, "I brought the fish and sheep into the water. Look..."
"Okay, I'll be right over." Zhong Guoqiang He smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Li, you are moving very quickly. You should get up very early."
"It's all about making money. It doesn't matter if you get up early." Li Long replied and walked out of the canteen.
Zhong Guoqiang followed him to the carriage and looked at the frozen sheep placed on it.
"Well, it looks good," Zhong Guoqiang, who is also an expert, looked at the water and said, "It was simply cleaned, right?"
"Well, when it melts away, you guys It definitely needs to be washed carefully. There is no way to clean it up in the mountains. "It's too clean." Li Long explained, "So the price is not expensive, six yuan a set."
"Six yuan - it's really not expensive." Zhong Guoqiang weighed it casually. Yes, I’ll give you four or five cents a pound, okay, I’ll take three plates.”
Zhong Guoqiang asked for five more large carps and paid twenty-eight yuan.
"Let's go to Shicheng." Business was off to a good start, and Li Long was very happy. He bought six big meat buns and ate them with Tao Daqiang while leading the carriage away.
"Brother Long, why don't we sell fish in the black market in our county? I haven't been there for a long time, should I be able to sell it?"
"If you don't go, the risk is too great, and you can't I don’t want us to be arrested together.” Li Longyi. As he drove the carriage, he said, "Now that we have been arrested, it is not only us who are detained, but also the horses and carriages in the team."
Tao Daqiang then understood that although Li Long was in business, Looks bold, but is actually very cautious.
When the two of them came to Shicheng Old Street, it was almost twelve o'clock. It was just when they got on and off the bus. A regular customer was already familiar with Li Long, who was selling fish. At this time, he saw him dragging a plastic sheet with a Not only were there fish, but there were also sheep entering the water, and they immediately gathered around them.
Tao Daqiang is still waiting in the distance with the carriage. Li Long no longer had any worries, he set up a stall there and shouted:
"I'm selling fish, big fish for two yuan, fifteen small fish for two yuan, a set of sheep in the water for six yuan, it's cheap!"
When he was setting up a stall and shouting, people gathered around him, and Li Long also discovered that he was not the only one doing business here.
There are people selling melon seeds and peanuts in baskets, people selling steamed buns on plates, people selling twists, etc. Basically, they are mainly about eating.
It seems that the time is coming when everyone can see the changes and become a lot bolder.
“Can sheep sewer be cheaper?” Someone offered a price.
“No,” Li Long said with a smile, “The sheep that were slaughtered yesterday were washed in the ice and snow. You can take them back, melt them, wash them, and then you can cook them. You can Look at how much it weighs, which is less than one yuan per kilogram, and there’s so much oil, so it’s very cheap!”
“That’s right, the suet looks good.” Someone with a keen eye saw the suet inside. I knelt down and took a closer look.
"Come and see, sheep drains with suet, a set of six yuan, very cheap... first come, first served!"
Soon, someone took a set and paid for it and left.
There are a total of five sets of water traps on the stall. If you look carefully, you will know that if you don’t buy them, others will buy them.
Li Long thoughtfully threaded a thin iron wire through the water and made a handle for easy carrying, so that the buyer does not have to look for something to install it.
Soon, the five plates were sold short, some others left in anger, and some began to look at the fish.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the fish were almost sold. Li Long went to the carriage again, dragged over the remaining three dishes of water and fish, and then started shouting again.
Before two o'clock at noon, all the fish and fish were sold out. Li Long made more than 100 yuan, and he and Tao Daqiang got into the carriage and headed back. "Daqiang, we won't sell fish anymore. We'll talk about it after the new year." Li Long said on the carriage. "We have been working hard for half a month. We have a few days left to take a good rest and have a good sleep."
To be honest, Li Long basically never slept well since he went to the mountains to pull wood.
No matter how young you are, you can't stand it. If it weren't for the meat and fish at home and the delicious food every day, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive.
"Yeah." Tao Daqiang nodded, still a little empty.
Since Li Long asked him to join him, he has something to do every day and doesn't have to stay at home in a daze, which makes him feel that life is quite meaningful.
But now everything suddenly went away, and Tao Daqiang didn’t know what to do in the next few days.
Li Long could understand Tao Daqiang's thoughts, but he didn't say anything to him. The road of life needs to be walked by oneself, and Tao Daqiang also needs to use his brain.
The two arrived in Ma County. Li Long went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some locks. Then he went to his newly bought big house, locked some doors and replaced some locks.
This will be of great use in the future, it is more convenient to use your own lock.
After driving the carriage to the horse number and handing it over to Lao Luo, Li Long and Tao Daqiang separated.
As he approached Li's house, Li Long saw someone carrying a sheep into the water and walking out.
It was Chen Qiang, the accountant on the team. He saw Li Long and said with a smile:
"Xiaolong, are you back from selling fish?"
"Yes. Brother Chen Qiang, are you going back?”
"No, after taking the water, I have to go back and wash it. I'm going to refining the oil today. I'm still quick, so I got the last plate, and it will be gone later - Xiaolong, are there any sheep in the water later? "
"No more." Li Long said, "It won't be there for a while."
"Then I'm really lucky." Chen Qiang went into the water and went back briskly.
Li Jianguo was washing his hands in the yard. He didn't expect that the dozen or so dishes of water at home would be sold out so quickly.
I got more than one hundred yuan in less than a day—this money was earned really quickly!
Seeing Li Long come back, Li Jianguo felt that the money in his hand was a bit hot, and hurriedly handed it to Li Long:
"Xiaolong, here, you take the money."
"I'll take sixty , Brother, you can just pretend." Li Long said. He said, "There is a lot of money at the back of the house."
Li Jianguo didn't want to take the money, so Li Long felt that he should keep it for his eldest brother. In the end, Liang Yuemei came forward, and Li Long took eighty and left the money. Li Jianguo pretends to be underneath.
Even so, Li Jianguo felt that he had taken advantage of his younger brother.
Li Long didn't think so much - in the past few years, he only ate without vomiting, and now it's time to pay back.
After staying at home for two days, on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before the Lunar New Year, Li Long took enough bullets and drove the carriage into the mountains again.
He is getting ready to hunt yellow sheep.
This is the last time he plans to go into the mountains during the New Year. Whether he catches yellow sheep or not, he will not come again until the Chinese New Year.
I need to rest comfortably for a few days to recharge my batteries.
