Chapter 160 Such simple and enthusiastic people
The men are decorating this house that is a little different from their winter home. According to Li Long, these young men are more attentive to this house than their winter nest.
In order to prevent the wood from being cracked by the sun, a thick layer of hay was laid on the roof of the house, and then mud was smeared on it. The mud had dried by this time, and the roof looked a little gray, but it was enough to ensure that It won't leak on rainy days.
A layer of mud is also applied to the wall, so that under the double layer of protection of wood and mud, the cold wind in winter will not penetrate, and it also has the function of fire prevention.
A two-meter-wide wooden floor stretches out in front of the house. The empty lawn in front of it has been shoveled, and drainage ditches have been dug on both sides. The yard has been repaired and is very smooth. There were two wooden poles erected on the east side of the yard, and two sheep were already tied there. They bleated from time to time, complementing the calls of the deer grazing behind the winter nest.
Some of the young men were sitting on the unused wood and talking and laughing. Some of them felt that there was something inappropriate in the house and were still repairing it with tools.
Seeing Halimu and Li Long pushing bicycles over, the men screamed with excitement one by one, and they all ran over to help push the bicycles to Dongwozi.
After holding up the car, Li Long unloaded the things with everyone. Yushanjiang squeezed over and said with a smile:
"Li Long, the winter nest is covered. You, Now you can take a good look and see if there is any inappropriateness. We can process it now and make sure you are satisfied!”
“I’m very satisfied!” Li Long smiled with tears on his face. Okay, what else can I be dissatisfied with? It’s a free house! Like a small villa in the mountains!
"No, no, no, you must go in and take a look to see if you are really satisfied." Yushanjiang said seriously, "Now that the boys are here, it's easy to tell them anything that needs to be changed. When we leave, what will happen? Question, where will you find someone then?"
Li Long thought about it and entered the house.
He couldn't bear to step on the wooden floor - although there were some footprints on it, he still looked at it carefully.
The walls have also been plastered with fine mud, which looks very smooth. The windows have been taken out, and the grilles are made of wood, with plastic sheets nailed on the outside. There is a place for the stove next to the door in the big house, and the chimney is also dug out. Yushanjiang explained:
“As for the stove, you have to figure it out yourself. It’s easier for you to build this stove than for us.”
"It should be," Li Long nodded quickly.
The wooden kang in the big room is quite large. It is now covered with several sheets of sheepskin, and there are two newly made wooden boxes placed against the wall.
There are some wooden shelves against the wall of the small room. The shelves now contain the food, drinks, wine and other things that Li Long brought back last time. There are also several pieces of jade placed under the shelf.
"The boys brought some more stones. They said that these stones are of no use at home. It would be best if you could sell them in exchange for something."
"Okay, okay." Li Long was really very satisfied. When he walked out of the winter nest, the young men stood in the yard and looked at him, their eyes full of expectation.
"Very good, this house is very well built! I am very satisfied, thank you all! Thank you, Duosen!"
Li Long thought of the big mistake in the title, and these men were still happily Cooperating with him, he felt a little guilty, and then left He smiled at the unloaded things and said:
"Come on, I will give you the things I exchanged for you today and see if you like it."
The unloaded things, Li Long said nothing, and none of the boys moved. It was only then that they started talking and laughing happily, and their eyes became more eager.
Li Long gave everyone a pair of Jiefang shoes, and all the boys who got the shoes were surprised.
"This is for you." Li Long said, "Thank you for building me a house."
Halimu translated with a smile. The boys laughed happily, and some of them immediately sat on the wooden boards to try Take off your shoes.
Halimu hurriedly shouted a few words to them, and Li Long guessed that they should be asked to switch with each other after the trial.
When Li Long buys shoes, he usually buys large-size shoes such as 404142. Boys have big feet and can basically fit them in. They only need to change them once or twice at most. Li Long bought a lot of shoes, so he didn't have to worry about finding ones that fit his feet.
After the boys happily put on their shoes one by one, Li Long took out the radios one by one and sent them to the person who had exchanged items last time.
These young men have become very skilled in playing with Yushanjiang's radios these days. When Li Long distributed the radio, he also put the battery in it, so they could find the station when they turned it on, and some even started singing.
The boys were studying these things. Li Long was still giving out things, and he gave everyone a flashlight. Some young men were studying the radio, and they were confused when Li Long gave them a flashlight.
"It's for them." Li Long turned to Harimu for help and asked him to help translate.
Halimu translated with a smile, and surprise appeared on the faces of the young men again.
This is not a joke in the sketch, the flashlight can really be used as a household appliance.
The young man who didn't have a radio would hold a flashlight and flick it from time to time, and even shine it on his own eyes and face. They were really curious, and this was much better than a lantern.
Seeing that everyone liked the gifts he brought, Li Long smiled, and he began to continue sending things to everyone.
After handing out the things he brought, Li Long clapped his hands, attracted the men's attention, and said:
"Because the things that a bicycle can carry are limited, so what? , I need to give you some things when I buy them again. These things have been sold for a lot of money. I will continue to bring things to everyone and distribute the food later. I plan to have a party here tonight. Let’s listen to music, drink some drinks and wine, and sing. How about singing and having a barbecue?"
After that, he looked at Harimu.
Harimu did not translate immediately. He first solemnly said to Li Long:
"Li Long, you are our best Duosen. You have helped us a lot, and we are very grateful for it. Don't say those things How much did the thing cost?
Sold. How much is up to you. Those things in our hands are just stones and wood. They can be exchanged for a little bit of food at most. We have met some people who want these things before. They are not sincere to us, no. Friends!
So, we are very happy that you gave us these things in exchange, really happy. The things you prepared for us are of great help to our life in Xia Ranch, much more than those stones and antlers. !
So, We treat you as a real Duosen and build you a house. You treat us as a real friend and bring us so many good things. If we are all happy, then that will be fine! Stop talking..."
Li Long listened. He knew what Harimu meant, and then turned to look at Yushanjiang. Yushanjiang also nodded, obviously thinking the same thing.
"Okay, I won't say it anymore."
"That's right!" Harimu smiled and began to translate to the boys.
After he finished speaking, a young man asked a few questions. Li Long didn't understand, so Harimu just answered, and then the young man spoke again.
When their conversation ended, several young men behind were talking. After that, Harimu said to Li Long: "You saw, Belik just asked me what we were talking about. I After saying what you said, everyone said that you think too much. You have brought us so many good things, and we are all grateful to you.
We won’t talk about the prices of these things because that’s of no use to us. We understand very well that it is you who turned these things that are of no use to us into things that are very useful to us, and that is enough! We can help you with some things now, such as building a house and finding things, which is also our intention. ”
Li Long nodded vigorously, he understood.
Then it was time for the young men to show off their skills. They took out their knives to slaughter sheep, dig troughs for barbecue, and make naan bread. Nang Kang.
Li Long couldn't help, so he just went to see Xiaolu.
This was the first time he had been in such close contact with a red deer calf - not counting the zoo in his previous life, which was separated by a railing.
The fawns were tied to the edge of the winter nest. They were a little scared. Occasionally they would lower their heads to eat grass, but most of the time they were still looking left and right, probably looking for their parents.
The deer was about the same height as a sheep, with short hair and very thin legs. Li Long even wondered how this thing could support his body.
The fawns were still very nervous when they saw Li Long coming over and kept shouting. However, Li Long did not touch them, so the fawns gradually became less afraid. When Li Long stretched out his hand, they would even lick it.
Li Long thought to himself that he didn’t know if he could make a living with this thing.
He stood up, looked up and looked around, and then saw something white in the green grass.
As soon as his heart moved, he immediately rushed up, startled the deer next to him, and then ran out.
Running forward, Li Long was a little disappointed when he saw the white thing.
It turns out to be a puffball. The locals also call this thing a horse dung bag. It turns gray when mature, and a bag of ash is used to stop bleeding. It is a traditional Chinese medicine that can stop bleeding. However, it looks exactly like a big mushroom at this time - just without an umbrella or an umbrella handle.
The one in front of him was as big as a volleyball. It looked white and white. Li Long picked it off and smelled a strong mushroom smell.
At first, he said that this thing was inedible, but later he said that it could be eaten when it was tender. However, Li Long was not in the habit of eating this thing, so he thought it was a mushroom.
Throwing away the puffball, Li Long looked at the other white objects. The ones nearby were horse manure bags, so he simply walked further away.
If you can find horse manure bags, then other mushrooms should also grow.
Sure enough, I walked further up the hillside, and then I saw wild mushrooms of various sizes appearing in the sparse grass - commonly known as straw mushrooms by the locals.
Li Long bent down and picked it up happily, and soon he could no longer hold it in his hands. He simply carried it in his clothes and picked up more than two kilograms of mushrooms before walking back with unfinished content.
Also, I just can’t pretend anymore.
Back in front of the wooden house, I saw that the young men had slaughtered the sheep, skinned it, and were processing the internal organs. Someone has already set up the big pot and dug the trough for the barbecue, which is being repaired.
He saw a young man running from the ditch with a handful of red willow branches in his hand. The young man seemed to be named Belik.
Li Long walked to the edge of the stream in the ditch and began to clean the mushrooms. When washing, he directly twisted off the muddy part at the end of the umbrella handle, which was convenient.
When Li Long arrived at Dongwozi with a bag of mushrooms, the fire had already been set up. The high soil on both sides of the barbecue trough has been cultivated, and Bielik took the tamarisk stick to test the length. At this time, Harimu and Yushanjiang's wives had also come over. They brought cooking utensils and began to cut the meat.
Only then did Li Long discover that there was actually a cutting board cut from logs in the winter nest. Although it looked quite primitive, this thing would be considered a rarity in future generations.
There was no pot, so Li Long found an enamel basin, broke open the mushrooms, put it in, and filled it with some water - to be honest, there was no way to choose the water here.
Although it is obvious that the spring is there, even if you get water from near the spring, you can still see black insects under the water.
But I really can’t control that much at this time. It's going to be boiled anyway, so just keep it out of sight. After all, even in the village, the well water is still used with a cover, so it may not be very clean.
He had already planned to dig out a well for his family when he had free time, so that at least the drinking water would be clean.
In my last life, I remember traveling with a group when I was free. When I entered the mountain, some people saw mountain spring water. They were all excited. Not only did they drink directly, they also poured out the mineral water in the mineral water bottle they brought with them and then drank the spring water.
The tour guide reminded them that there might be bugs or eggs in the water, but these people said nonchalantly that it was impossible. The spring was right here, how could there be bugs.
Okay, it’s hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die.
After receiving the water, Li Long went to Dongwozi and moved a few stones to build a simple stove.
Seeing that Li Long was busy, the young men also helped. Soon a small stone stove was set up, and then someone took a few burning logs from the fire over there and put them down. , and two more firewood were added to it, and the fire started.
Li Long quickly put the enamel basin seat up, and then went to look for wild onions and garlic seedlings on the grassy slope.
The resources here are really rich. The grass grows better and there are more things than the Xiaobaiyanggou where Tao Daqiang and the others are.
When Li Long picked the things, the boys could not wait to start grilling the meat.
Although the party Li Long mentioned was in the evening, there is nothing wrong with starting at noon.
Some young men left on horseback. Li Long asked Harimu. He said that these young men wanted to take things back and bring people over - how could they do it with just young men? Old people can't run so far, but girls and children can.
Li Long suddenly realized it and smiled.
Spring is here, there is nothing wrong with this!
The aroma spreads in the hillsides and valleys.
