Chapter 133: This horn, this end - it’s in good condition, how could it be such a coincidence?
Li Longpei responded to the ill-intentioned old man, cleaned up the stall in a happy mood, clamped the things on the back seat of the bicycle, and pushed the bicycle around the morning market.
The eggs looked good, and Li Long asked about the price.
"The stall is about to be closed. It turns out that one is eight cents. If you really want it, how about I give you seven cents?"
"Can I get the chicken baby?" Li Long asked casually.
"Yes, they are all laid by our own chickens. We have roosters and hens at home. I can't guarantee that they can all be picked out, but most of them should be there. If you don't believe me, take a look?"
Li Long picked up an egg ball and put it on In the palm of my hand, I squinted towards the sun and saw black spots in it.
"Okay, I want them all, as many as there are left."
There were twenty-six eggs left in the basket. Li Long paid one dollar and eighty-two cents and took all the eggs. Bought it.
With nothing to put in it, he simply spent 50 cents to buy the old wicker basket that sold eggs, and hung the basket and eggs on the handlebars of his bicycle.
There was still food at home, but he didn't buy it. When he saw a chicken seller, he negotiated the price and bought two roosters and two hens for ten yuan. He put them in urea bags and returned to the compound.
After putting things away, he went to the big meat canteen and had breakfast. He found that the breakfast in the big meat cafeteria was much richer. I ordered a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and a plate of fried shredded potatoes, and ate them.
Zhong Guoqiang, the manager of Big Meat Canteen, came over, sat across from him and said with a smile:
“Comrade Xiao Li, I haven’t seen you for a few days.”
“Well, I’ve been busy allocating land in the village recently, so I haven’t come out.”
"Are you selling fish or meat today?"
"I caught some fish and came over to see how the market is doing."
"Live fish? Are there any big carps?"
"Not too big, just over two kilograms." Li Long said, "The water is too cold now, so it's hard to catch."
"Two kilograms is enough, no matter how big it is, it won't be good for me to put on the plate." Pretend, can you give me two tomorrow?”
"Okay." Li Long agreed happily.
After dinner, Li Long returned to the yard and took out the ibex skull.
After counting carefully, it turned out that nineteen knots were correct, and the skull was relatively complete. Li Long originally thought of putting it in a sack and putting it on the back seat of his bicycle, but thought it would be safer to walk over. He also didn't think about it. Didn't it mean that the ram's horn grew two sections a year? Why is there a 19th Festival?
He came to the supply and marketing cooperative with the sheep head in his arms. The gatekeeper, Uncle Li, was not there, replaced by a young man. When I heard Li Long say that he wanted to find Li Xiangqian, the head of the purchasing department, his eyes looked a little strange.
Li Long was a man of two generations after all, and he could tell immediately that the young man probably felt that he was holding a sheep's head to offer sacrifices to Li Xiangqian.
Li Long didn't explain much and asked the young man to call Li Xiangqian.
The young man didn't embarrass Li Long. He gave in and called the purchasing department.
Then something that stunned him happened: Chief Li, who usually only chatted and laughed with the director and deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative, flew toward the gate at an almost impossible speed for his fat body. Come running.
After seeing Li Long, Li Xiangqian smiled and said hello from afar:
"Xiao Li, why don't you go in? Let me take a look - this sheep head is so beautiful! Ha! Haha, I just said, you can do this—walk around and talk inside!”
Under the unexpected look in the young man's eyes, Li Xiangqian walked towards the yard with Li Long talking and laughing. In the office, Li Qianqian held the ibex head and counted the joints on it. After confirming that the two horns had nineteen joints, not a single bit had fallen off, and the skull was basically intact, Li Qianqian let out a sigh of relief:
“Xiao Li, to be honest, you are helping It's been a big help to me. Without you, I really don't know where to find such a good ibex skull in such a short time - is this an ibex?"
"Well, it's an ibex? "Li Long nodded and added in his mind that in more than ten years, this will be a second-level protected animal.
"Xiaolong, don't mention it. Hanging this sheep's head on the wall really has the flavor of art - these leaders just know how to play." Li Xiangqian sighed.
Li Long smiled and said nothing.
"Xiao Li, how can I thank you?" Li Xiangqian suddenly said, "You have helped me so much. If I need anything, just ask!"
"Help Can I find a big wheel tire?" Li Long thought for a moment and said, "I'll go into the water and catch fish with a net. It's not easy to set a net in deep water. It’s not easy to row here, so I can use a fully inflated tire as a rubber boat so I can launch the net.” I can’t give you the new ones, but you can choose the old ones that are airtight!”
“That’s fine,” Li Long smiled.
"No, no, you have helped me so much, how can a tire count?" Li Xiangqian now felt that Li Long was really his lucky star, and he said directly: "Think again, think again!"
"Then..." Li Long was thinking about it, and suddenly he thought that Harimu said that the mountains would be divided into pastures, and it would not be so convenient to enter the mountains in the future. He was a little worried, and asked:
"Chief Li, can you take a look?" Find me an acquaintance, I want to Become a non-staff forest ranger in any ditch in Nanshan? You also know that I like to hunt in the mountains, but I am afraid that I will not be able to go into the mountains in the future."
"This... I will help you find out." After thinking for a while , thought this was a good thing, and said, "I just happened to hear that Nanshan is going to set up a forestry team. If that's true, it wouldn't be a big deal to have a forest ranger!"
He patted his dragon on the shoulder and said:< br>
"You wait for my news. No matter whether it can be done or not, I will call you."
"Okay. Chief Li, don't be too embarrassed. That's what I said." Li Long said, " I know it’s not easy for you to do this across industries..."
"No, no, no, Xiao Li, you do things openly, and I don’t hide it from you. It’s done. There are benefits too. If you can go into the mountains and get good things, if I need them, you will give them to me first, so don’t worry!”
Come out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li. In Long's hand, there was a half-new large car tire with a diameter of 1.23 meters. There was not a single patch on it, which made Li Long feel pretty good.
Just take it home, inflate it enough, put soap on the nozzle, then use a rope to flatten the tire, and then cut two water-repelling plates, and that will be a handmade rubber boat. The fish is no worse than the boat!
Back in the big yard, Li Long began to take stock of the harvest.
The fish was sold for twenty-seven yuan and eight cents, I bought chickens, eggs and baskets for twelve yuan and thirty-two cents, and I had breakfast for fifty-two cents, leaving me with fifteen yuan and twenty-six cents. If we include the five yuan deducted from Tao Daqiang in advance, there is still more than ten yuan left.
If you do the math, it’s really not much.
But Li Long was quite satisfied. After all, launching the net this time is a test of the water. I will launch at least six to eight nets when I go back this afternoon. With the tires, I don’t have to enter the water, and it is convenient to launch and retrieve the nets.
At that time, I can earn twenty or thirty yuan a day, which is not lower than an apprentice’s monthly salary. What else can’t be done?
Li Long thought as he happily walked towards the department store.
You are here, how can you do it if you don’t buy something?
Let me tell you two things. First, many comments in the comment area were deleted. I saw it at first but didn’t pay attention. I thought it was deleted by the person who wrote the comment. Until today, there are many comments in the group. I didn’t react until someone’s comment was deleted. As of now writing this book, I haven’t deleted any comments yet. After all, as long as it does not involve personal attacks, even if you have any objections to the content of this book, I will not delete it. After all, writing is for people to read, and it is impossible for everyone to like it.
The second thing is that monthly tickets have been a little low recently. I would like to ask, if you still have monthly tickets, if you think this book can still be read, can you vote for it? Since it's already on the monthly vote list, it doesn't look good if it's too far behind. If not, I'll ask in the next chapter.
Uh, let’s make a digression. Yesterday, when I asked the old man in the video whether he needed money when the homestead was divided before, the old man said that another old man had left the village. Eighty-eight years old is considered a long life, but among those who built the village, one is missing... Everyone, take care of yourself, health first.
Finally, thanks to the Sanren in Guanzhong for the reward, and thanks to the people from the mountains 1988 for the reward! Thank you all for your ticket subscription and comment support, thank you all!
