Chapter 189 We can’t take advantage of this kind of thing
Not long after Li Longgang rode out, he turned back again.
The two police officers were taking notes and were a little surprised to see Li Long back again.
“Comrade Li, what else is going on?” asked a police comrade.
“I forgot something important.” Li Long got out of the car and took out a stack of wallets from his pocket and handed them over, “When I was interrogating them just now, I asked them to hand over their wallets, so I stuffed them in my pocket. I gave it to you, but I forgot about it—I can’t tell you how to take it back! Fortunately, I remembered—five wallets, here you go!”
The policeman was stunned for a moment. Another policeman looked over and saw one of the wallets was bulging. He couldn't help but ask:
"Is this all money?"
"Well, I've seen it, there are quite a few." Li Long smiled, "Okay, I have to go back."
"It's great that you can still think of sending it back!" A comrade from the police said patiently. kept saying.
"This money will burn my hands." Li Long smiled, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."
Li Long left on his bicycle. The two policemen watched his back disappear on the Mahe Bridge, and then they began to count the money.
“A total of five hundred and sixteen dollars and a cent.” One of the policemen counted it twice and said, “This is a huge sum of money. That Comrade Li is really capable.”
“ Let’s report this matter truthfully. Although the two sides are not in the same jurisdiction, I think there is at least one representation. You can still send out letters." Another police comrade wrote down the amount of money and said, "These days, people like this are still worthy of praise."
Li Long actually felt quite complicated about handing over the money. I feel a little bit regretful about doing it to the police comrades, but I feel relieved after thinking about it. That little man killed someone, and this matter must be investigated strictly. You can't hide the wallet thing.
He rode his bike back to the compound, rested for a while, and then went to the wing to look at the fritillaries.
The caladiums were all dry, so Li Long gathered them all together and weighed them himself.
I have been busy for so long, collected caladiums several times, and dried them until the end. I have eleven kilograms and four dry goods on hand.
Also sold once.
Li Long thought for a while and took Fritillaria to the purchasing station on his bicycle.
Through the open door, he saw Chen Hongjun inside, so he locked the car and walked in.
Li Long's plan was that if Chen Hongjun was not here, he would wait until the next time he sells fish and take these fritillaries to Shicheng to sell them. The tone and expression of the woman's previous question were wrong, so Li Long thought it was better to be cautious.
"Hey, Xiao Li is here. I haven't seen you for a while." Chen Hongjun smiled and said to Li Long, "What good things did you bring this time?"
" I collected some caladiums in the mountains and dried them. What is the price now? "
"The price of caladiums has gone up." Chen Hongjun looked at Li Long and put the bag on the counter. As he went to untie the rope, he said, "The harvest of Fritillaria has been bumper recently, but there are more people buying it. Some pharmaceutical factories in the mainland have also come to collect, and the price has risen. One kilogram of first-class product is forty, and second-class product is three kilograms. Eighteen, the remaining currency is thirty-five yuan...this...the quality is good."
Li Long smiled, it's good that the price has increased, and he has gained another income.
Even if I sell these second-grade products for 38 yuan, one kilogram of fresh ones will cost more than 7 yuan. It’s great to make double the profit!
"You guys, I'll give you thirty-nine yuan as a first- and second-grade mixed product." Chen Hongjun grabbed a handful of Fritillaria and looked at it carefully, "Well, it's been washed and dried. There are few impurities and no mold, so it was well handled.”
Next, the Fritillaria were weighed, skinned, accounted for, and invoiced. In the end, Li Long got 444 yuan, a thick sum! Big group With the knot in hand, Chen Hongjun couldn't help but say:
"Xiao Li, you make money so fast! These Fritillaria are equivalent to a year's salary of a general worker!"
< br>"Haha, this is worth it, and it doesn't belong to me alone." Li Long said haha, "Comrade Chen, you go ahead, I have something else to do, let's go, goodbye!"
"Okay, goodbye. If you have any good things, bring them!"
"No problem! By the way, Comrade Chen, I would like to ask what the price of muskrat skin is now? And, the muskrat sachet Do you accept it? "
"Muskrat skin? In spring, spring skin is cheaper than winter skin, but the price of leather has generally increased, and a piece of skin costs 8 to 10 yuan. Muskrat scent, this stuff can replace traditional musk. The average price per bag is fifteen yuan. Do you have any?"
"Well, I caught two litters, about seven or eight," Li Long said. , "There are also a few bags of musk."
"That's great, it's just the leather. Incense is rare. Bring it when you have time!"
Li Long walked out of the purchasing station with a smile on his face and looked up at the sun. Although it was a bit dazzling, it felt warm.
More than four hundred yuan!
One step closer to becoming a household worth 10,000 yuan!
He suddenly thought, shouldn't it be time to take a look at the furniture that he had bought earlier?
With money in his pocket, Li Long wanted to buy something. He went to the market to take a look and found that most of them were primary agricultural products sold by farmers. There were already sellers of large brooms made of splendens splendens, which cost three yuan a piece, which was not cheap. There were also sellers of wicker baskets and sorghum. Pot lids pierced with poles, etc.
In this season, there are fewer meat sellers. There is a fish seller, looking feebly at the fish pot under the shade of a big tree. The fish in the pot has turned upside down.
Li Long scanned around and saw nothing good to buy, so he rode to the Cultural Palace again.
He saw the ticket seller playing poker with others in the pavilion next to the Cultural Palace.
Li Long parked his car in the bicycle shed, locked it and went to the man's side, watching the three of them fighting for the upper reaches.
Seeing someone approaching, the young man was very alert. He turned around and recognized Li Long.
"Brother, are you..."
"Is there any?" Li Long asked cryptically.
"That's for sure." The young man threw the cards and said to the other two: "I'm sorry, wait for me for a while, and I'll treat you to some melon seeds later."
Said After that, he waved to Li Long and walked to the side of the Cultural Palace.
Li Long followed, and when he turned the corner, the young man took out a wad of tickets from his inner pocket and asked:
"Brother, what kind of tickets do you want?"
"I want them all, including food stamps, oil stamps, industrial stamps, liquor stamps, and sugar stamps." Li Long said, "How are the fares recently?"
“The fare is not bad, it hasn’t dropped much, but it hasn’t risen either. "The young man said, "The tickets I still have in my hand have not been sold out yet..."
"Let me see." Li Long meant to ask him how many votes he had left. The young man actually asked. Without guarding against Li Long, he handed over the stack of tickets directly.
A dozen industrial stamps, more than 100 kilograms of food stamps, more than 30 kilograms of oil stamps, sugar stamps, wine stamps, all weighing about ten kilograms - and other cloth stamps Class of miscellaneous tickets.
"I want them all." Li Long said, "But I suggest you keep doing this business, and you should be able to make money later."
The young man behind him didn't listen much, but he heard what Li Long said about the front , and suddenly became excited:
"Really want it all? It costs at least twenty-five yuan..."
"No problem." Li Long thought, less than one kilogram of Fritillaria The money is affordable!
Check the quantity, price, and pay the money. These tickets will be regarded as Li Long's. The young man was happy, and Li Long felt at ease. When I go to department stores or supply and marketing cooperatives later to buy things, at least I don’t have to worry about tickets anymore.
After the young man counted the money twice, he raised his head and said to Li Long:
"Brother, behind that..."
"I may need more tickets after a while. "Li Long said, "I will come to you if I need you."
"If I'm not here, then tell the melon seed seller to find me - my name is..."
"Your name is Xiao Liu, Cao Liu, right?" Li Long remembered the young man's name, "Okay, I know you."
The young man was very happy, probably a "big customer" like Li Long Remembering him made him feel quite proud.
Cao Liu went to the melon seed seller and took two cups of melon seeds. He went to the pavilion and gave them to the players who were playing cards earlier. Li Long also went over to take a look. The little girl selling melon seeds saw Li Long coming and handed him a paper fold. triangular cup filled with melons Zi:
"Please crack melon seeds."
"Sell all of these to me." Li Long thought about the fact that there are really no melon seeds at home now, and the team will divide the sunflower seeds at the end of the year, so It is necessary to extract oil to eat, and even eating oil is not enough.
If Li Long hadn't caught a lot of game and oil in the mountains this year, the Li family wouldn't even have enough oil.
As for smashing melon seeds, every family is willing to fry some sunflower seeds and put them on the table to entertain guests during the New Year.
“All of them?” The little girl was a little surprised, “Then…” She looked down and saw that a triangular cup was five cents, and there could be more than twenty cups in this basket. She said, “One dollar Money."
Li Long took out a dollar and handed it over, then poured all the melon seeds into the satchel he carried with him, zipped it up, and went to the carport to ride away.
Li Long returned to the compound and searched for only two oil bottles, so he took them to the grain and oil store, bought two bottles of vegetable oil, and rode back.
When he arrived in the countryside, Li Long found Carpenter Qu's yard. As soon as he arrived at the door, he smelled a strong smell of sawdust, and then saw many wood shavings placed in the corner of the yard.
Qu Carpenter held a pen by his ear and was gesturing with a chair leg. When he saw Li Long come in, a young man next to him stood up and asked:
"You Who to look for?”
“Let me see how my furniture is doing.” Li Long asked, "Xinhu, from the Li family."
"Li Jianguo? Are you Li Long? It's ready." Qu Carpenter said with a smile, "Your eldest brother has never come to pull me, I thought I forgot about it. Hey. There’s no way I can pile up all this furniture... “Look?”
"Okay." Li Long went over to look at the furniture.
The cabinets, cupboards, shelves, chairs, etc. were all painted and looked old-fashioned, but they all looked very strong. Li Long touched them and found that the paint had dried long ago, and they were still very strong even after shaking them.
There was so much furniture that a carriage could not finish it. After reading it, Li Longdu asked:
"Master Qu, has my brother paid for it?"
"I've given you the deposit, but I'm still ten yuan short of labor." Carpenter Qu said with a smile, "Don't worry, are you satisfied with these furniture?"
"I'm satisfied." Li Long smiled. He took out a big coupon and handed it over, "I paid the wages, and I'll bring the things over in a carriage tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Carpenter Qu took it. Qian, "Look for me when I'm here, and look for him if I'm not, Xiao Gao."
Xiao Gao was the young man who took the initiative to ask questions just now. Li Long nodded, turned and left the carpenter's shop.
“This young man is quite rich.” Xiao Gao couldn’t help but say, “I’ll give you ten yuan as soon as I ask for it.”
“His brother is very powerful, and this young man is not bad either. , it is said that he has joined the supply and marketing cooperative, and he is already riding a bicycle." Carpenter Qu explained, and then said to Xiao Gao, "Study hard. Once you learn the carpenter's craft, you will be able to buy one in less than a year. A bicycle!”
Li Long went to the middle school, where Gu Xiaoxia was still in class, so he put down a bottle of oil, left some fried melon seeds, then locked the door and went home.
Back home, Liang Yuemei was making lunch. Tao Daqiang had just picked up the net and left the yard. When he saw Li Long coming back, he smiled and asked:
"Brother Long, are you back? The nets have been picked up. Are you still going in the afternoon?”
“You’re still going,” Li Long thought of Chen Hongjun. He was talking about the price of musk, and he was very excited, "Let's bring the shovel and go see if there are any water rats. I asked about it today and found that this thing is very valuable."
"Okay." Tao Daqiang also said Very happy, "Let's go early and look for it carefully."
"Okay. Come, take some melon seeds back." Li Long packed some melon seeds from his satchel and handed them to him. Tao Daqiang was not polite and went back holding the melon seeds.
Tao Daqiang did not cook when he returned home. Tao Jianshe went to the fields. There were utility workers in the team today. Tao Jianshe brought steamed buns and pickles and prepared to work for a day - mainly five jobs on the roof of his donkey cart. Tao Jianshe was very satisfied.
Although the stove was cold, Tao Daqiang felt hot. He was not hungry at first, but thinking about the effort he had to make in the afternoon, he went to the kitchen to get a steamed bun - thinking about how he could eat white flour steamed buns from time to time at home. Okay, did you dare to think about it before this day?
He poured himself another cup of herbal tea. Farmers at this time generally boiled a pot of water when they got up in the morning, poured a bottle into the boiling water bottle, put some brick tea cubes in the teapot, and brewed a pot of tea. If there were few people, they would drink it for the whole day. If there were many people, they would drink it for lunch. Boil another pot.
Tao Daqiang went to the kitchen to get two more green peppers. He carefully removed the handles and seeds, holding the tail of the green pepper in his hand. Then he put some salt in the green pepper "jar" and poured some vinegar. Then shake it, wait for the salt to melt, then take a bite on the edge of the green pepper, and eat another bite of the steamed bun to match the spiciness.
strong enough!
Li Long also ate like this. If Li Long were here, he would say that his food was too rough - cutting green peppers into shreds and marinating them with salt and vinegar wouldn't be better than this?
But no one pays much attention to this. When farming is busy, I have eaten raw eggplant and even steamed buns, not to mention this?
Being able to eat green peppers during this season is already a very high reward.
Li Long put the oil bottle in the kitchen, and found a plate to put the melon seeds on the dining table. Li Jianguo saw it and complained:
"Why did you buy that guy? What a waste of money!"
"After all, what you earn is what you spend," Li Long said with a smile, "I went to Qu Carpenter's today to look at the furniture. It's all finished. . I will go to Ma Hao to clean up the house today and bring some back tomorrow." "Okay, I will clean it with you in the afternoon."
“No, no, no,” Li Long waved his hand hurriedly, “I’ll just call Daqiang. I won’t do the work in the fields. That’s enough work for you. If I ask you to do this again, I’ll look bad. Where to put it?”
“Let’s eat.” Liang Yuemei thought the two brothers were arguing about something, so she brought the dishes and put them on the table, “If you have any questions, let’s talk about it after dinner!”
Li Qiang ran in from outside at this time and shouted:
"Mom, I'm hungry!"
"Why are you covered in mud again?" When Liang Yuemei saw Li Qiang's appearance, she immediately I got angry, "Why are my shoes wet?"
"I caught ditch fish in the big ditch at the back. I caught a lot. I'll let my uncle sell them tomorrow..."
"You're selling it!" Liang Yuemei transformed into a roaring female dragon, "Quickly change clothes!" As he said that, he took Li Qiang to the house over there and slapped Li Qiang on the butt.
Li Long was happy, this is the daily life of a farm family.
