Chapter 103 Take it seriously before Zhuge Liang
The young people in the team thought that after Li Long bought the bicycle, he would cherish it more and let everyone see it at most. Unexpectedly, he was not stingy at all and let everyone try it. Try it, and you won everyone's favor all of a sudden.
Before he came, Gu Ermao had promised Li Long that he would lock the car and not even let anyone touch it, but this time he miscalculated.
Xu Haijun rode his bike around the courtyard. When he came back, he said with admiration:
“This new bike is so comfortable to ride! Xiaolong, how much did you pay for it?”
"More than one hundred and sixty." Li Long said, "It's not expensive. The weighted design can carry a lot of things."
"One hundred and sixty is not expensive?" Tian Siping couldn't help but said, "It's worth it." It’s more than 400 kilograms of 75-year-old flour, which can last for a year!”
That’s not what Li Longxin said. With this bicycle, he can go to the mountains every other day and earn back the money in a week! .
But he couldn't say this. If he did, others would say he was bragging, so he didn't explain anything.
“Why don’t you sell fish during this time?” Qin Hongyan asked curiously, “Is it hard to sell fish?”
"Not really, I'm busy in the mountains during this time, hunting." Li Long said, anyway, he will spend nearly half of his time in the mountains, so there is nothing to hide.
"Have we shot wild boars again?" Xu Haijun asked, his eyes brightening.
“Not only wild boars, but also roe deer.” Li Long said, “There are a lot of things in the mountains, but they are hard to find.”
Although he said so, everyone else showed up. An envious look.
"You have almost finished changing the bullets for everyone in the team. Hunting is really fun." Xu Haijun joked with a smile.
"It's not bad. I didn't realize until we went there that our skills at the shooting range were far behind once we entered the mountains." Seeing that no one was riding anymore, Li Long put the bikes up and locked them, and then led everyone into the east room, " Come in, it’s still cold outside.”
“Isn’t it colder in the mountains? "Cold?"
"Of course, I wear felt tubes in the mountains," Li Long said, pointing to the felt tube beside the fire pit, "otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand these."
Young people were very curious about life in the mountains, and Li Long picked up what he could say. But when they heard that there were wolves in the mountains and that the wolves were very ferocious, they really fell silent.
No matter how powerful you are, no one would think of putting themselves in danger when faced with a ferocious and cunning wolf.
"After the spring begins, the team's sideline team may go into the mountains." Xu Haijun said suddenly, "Will Xiaolongqin enter by then?"
"No." Li Long said. On the bright side, "I won't participate in any public work in the team this year. I will just pay the fee at the end of the year."
A worker pays eight cents and it takes a day's work. Li Long went to the mountains by himself. Even if he didn't go into the mountains, he could earn thirty or fifty a day by fishing in Xiaohaizi. One day's money could make up for a year's worth of public work. Why bother himself?
Li Long has the confidence and courage, but others do not. Now the Li family's life is the only one in the team. They have meat and white flour steamed buns to eat every day - Li Qiang no longer wants to eat corn noodles. Li Long himself was thinking about buying some eggs to replenish his family's health when he went to the morning market to sell things.
“I want to join the sideline team.” Tian Siping suddenly said, “The sideline team goes to dig for caladiums. A kilogram of dried caladiums costs more than thirty yuan at the purchasing station, and even fresh caladiums cost five or six yuan. Skilled I dig four to five kilograms a day, and I still have a lot of money left after excluding what I give to the team.”
Gu Ermao sneered and said:
"That's a veteran. You are a novice, and you can dig one kilogram a day. That's pretty good." Qin Hongyan sighed and said: "A novice will become an expert with practice. The sideline team digs fritillaries." It will take a month Well, I’ve practiced it no matter what. It’s a pity that the sideline team doesn’t want women, otherwise I would also like to go.”
She looked at Li Long, hoping to see if he could. Give her some pointers.
Gu Ermao sneered again:
"You can't do it even if you want a woman. It's not convenient to live and eat in the mountains. There are more than a dozen people living in a winter den. What will you do as a woman? Just stay in the team!"
Gu Ermaocheng As a driver apprentice, he felt that his status was higher than others, so he would often point out this and that. It was difficult for everyone to comment because of his status, but today he talked a lot and was annoying. Qin Hong Yan gave him a white look:
"Only you can do it! Aren't you just an apprentice! People say that it takes three years for a driver apprentice to be able to touch a car. I don't know what you will be like after three years."< br>< br>What he said made Gu Ermao's face turn red. He really didn't get into the car. The master was very strict and paid a lot of tributes. But when he talked about touching the car, the master scolded him for aiming too high and not learning how to walk. Just want to run.
When Gu Ermao was about to quarrel with Qin Hongyan, Li Long interrupted:
"Actually, men can go to the sideline team, and women can also do other things."
"What?" Qin Hongyan asked hurriedly, "As long as you can make money, I'm not afraid of hard work."
“I’ve seen a lot of people at the morning market these two days. We are selling wicker baskets. The red wicker trees grow so well in the wasteland to the east of us in the spring. When the farmers are slack in the spring, we can weave some baskets to sell. Each basket costs two or three yuan, and we can weave two or three in a day. A lot of money.”
Li Long is telling the truth. These days, supplies are scarce and things found in department stores are too expensive for city people, so baskets like these are good and cheap to hold things in. So the business of selling baskets in the morning market is pretty good.
"Weaving baskets?" Qin Hongyan looked confused, "That... I'm not very good at it."
Li Long smiled and said:
"Spring has begun. Do you know there are wild mushrooms over the dam?"
"Of course, I must know."
"Wild mushrooms The mushrooms were collected in the county and sold for one kilogram. Even with a little hard work, we could make a lot of money.” I dug up wild mushrooms, which are locally called reed mushrooms and whose scientific name is delicious mushrooms. This reputation spread far and wide, and in later generations people drove here from the city to dig mushrooms.
These days, the amount of artificially cultivated mushrooms is still relatively small. As wild mushrooms are an excellent ingredient, there are naturally many people who want to eat them.
This is possible. Not only Qin Hongyan is thinking about it, but others are also thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
When Li Qiang came over to ask Li Long to eat, the young people all left wisely - Wu Shufen was not embarrassed to come over this time, but at home, her mother Wang Yuzhen scolded her hard and complained about her You shouldn't take the initiative to break up with Li Long.
Now that everyone has bicycles, the future is obviously bright!
Wu Shufen hid in her room, covering her ears and not wanting to hear these words.
She was also very irritable - she blamed Li Long in her heart, why did you become so good after the breakup, and what were you doing before?
Maybe if Li Long came to get back together with him now, he would agree, right? But thinking about the ambiguous relationship between her and Gu Ermao, she knew this was impossible.
So annoying!
