Chapter 198 People's hearts change people's hearts, rational use of waste
When Li Long left, he reminded Li Xiangqian in a low voice:
"Chief, there are two kidneys in that bag, which are also from the buck. , It’s still fresh, you can figure it out.”
Li Xiangqian smiled and understood what Li Long meant instantly.
While Tao Daqiang was still picking mushrooms with a gun on his back on the hillside, he heard the sound of a car.
His first reaction was that Li Long came to pick him up with a car.
Only Li Long can get a car to pull things and pick him up.
He walked towards the wooden house from the hillside and saw that the car was parked in the previous ditch.
Tao Daqiang was thinking, should he take the time to fill in the ditch the next time he comes over?
Not to mention filling the ditch completely, at least we can allow cars or horse-drawn carriages to pull forward.
Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to carry things back and forth every time.
Li Long asked the driver to wait in front of the ditch. He quickly came to the wooden house. By this time, Tao Daqiang had also rushed back.
"Put the things in sacks and load them on the car." Li Long said, "We can go home and sleep today."
Tao Daqiang felt a rush in his heart as he thought about being able to go home and sleep. Feeling hot, he immediately opened the small room and filled the sack.
Tao Daqiang packed the meat, and Li Long took off the leather from the wall, rolled it up and put it in a sack.
In addition to meat, skins, and some jade, they cannot be placed here.
As for other daily utensils, I’m not worried about them, so I didn’t move them much.
Compared with these things to take away, it's not worth much.
Li Long also left two pieces of dried meat, so that he would not be able to hunt and have to eat wild vegetables when he comes next time.
Three and a half sacks were packed with the things that should be brought. Li Long did not expect that there were so many things.
The two people put the sacks outside, locked the door, and moved the things back and forth twice. Then they all sat in the passenger seat. Li Long said to the driver:
"Master, let's go."
The car drove all the way back to the county town. Li Long put the leather, jade and other things in the big yard, locked the door and kept it open.
Arrived at the township middle school, Li Long asked to stop again. He left two pieces of meat for Gu Xiaoxia.
Going back to the elementary school, Li Long didn’t stop when he saw that school wasn’t over yet.
The driver looked a little unhappy. When the horse number came, Li Long and Tao Daqiang unloaded the car. He took out a piece of wild boar meat from the sack and handed it to the driver:
"Master, please excuse me. This meat is You can take it back and eat it, it’s not a good thing, it’s just game.”
The chef suddenly smiled and said, “How can this be done?”, but his hand had already taken the meat.
Li Long unloaded the bicycle again, waved to the driver, watched him leave, and then began to pack up the unloaded things.
Uncle Luo was surprised when he saw so many things Li Long had unloaded:
"Xiaolong, where did you get so many things?"
"Some are for entertaining guests tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, some are left here to eat slowly, and some are for me and Daqiang to put away "At home."
After Li Long explained, he said to Tao Daqiang:
"Daqiang, you go back with the deer legs first." Let's do it."
"No, no, no, let's finish cleaning up here first." Tao Daqiang shook his head hurriedly, "Brother Long, you carry back the things you want to put home, and then you come back to clean them up. The meat that will be used tomorrow needs to be cured, otherwise what should we do if we worry about it smelling bad tomorrow - it’s hotter on this team than in the mountains.”
"That's easy," Old Uncle Luo said, "find two wash basins and pull them out with well water. If you use them tomorrow, it should be no problem to leave them for a day."
"Okay, I'll go home. Go get the basin.”
“Wherever you go, there is a basin here.” Old Uncle Luo said with a smile. , "When Xiaolong cleaned up his house, he got a new big pot. Isn't that one pot enough? Get a few people to work, and don't end up making pigs and vegetables!"
Li Long came to his senses, and it was just a matter of changing the horse's number and having a nice meal of boiled meat. If you can’t finish the work in a day, the leftover stir-fried vegetables, rice or steamed buns will do. If you really have to cook meat every day, what will other people think?
If someone wants to find someone to help put mud on the house and build a house, can they get such meat? Of course, Li Long has an advantage because he can hunt, but not everyone can manage even half of Li Long's standards.
That will inadvertently raise everyone's expectations, which is not a good thing.
"Yes, I understand." Li Long nodded, "Let's just trim a leg and trim some ribs. Let's cook and fry a meal tomorrow. Let's keep some of the remaining meat here for long-term consumption. Then he took me back to my house."
"That's right." Old Uncle Luo knew that Li Long understood, and smiled. He said, "Your meat is mixed, it's not a kind of prey, right?"
"There are wild boar meat, venison, and wolf meat. By the way, Uncle Luo, how about that roe deer meat?"
>
"Just like that, lying down and eating grass, but not much. I feed it some food and eat it, but not much."
"Then feed it first. If you don't eat for two or three days, then kill it."
After Li Long said this, he put some extra meat in a sack and clamped it on the back seat of the bicycle. Riding back home.
After two trips back and forth, he finally brought all the extra meat home. At this time, Tao Daqiang also put the meat to be used tomorrow in a big basin and pulled it out. When Li Long came over, he said :
"Brother Long, I'm going back then. I'll come back tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll call someone tonight." Li Long said, "Tomorrow we will Let’s do it.”
After Tao Daqiang left, Li Long went to look at the living creatures.
The little wild boars are still so lively, barking loudly, and humping each other from time to time. They look like they have grown up a lot.
Li Long asked Old Uncle Luo:
"Old Uncle Luo, do you need to knock the tooth pig here?"
"I have already knocked it." Old Uncle Luo He smiled and said, "You were in the mountains some time ago, and your elder brother came over and knocked it off. He said you didn't have time to take care of it."
Li Long nodded, that's it.
The two fawns were quite lively, but one looked bigger and the other smaller. Li Long asked again:
"Uncle Luo, these two fawns, Is it better for the big ones to eat grass? ”
"Yes. The big one has a lot of activity and is not afraid of people. I have been feeding the little one for a long time. It hides when it enters the circle. I don't know if it can be fed later."
Li Long can only think, it depends on fate, if you support him, you will make money.
The roe deer was in a pen alone, in a single room, and there was no unusual atmosphere in the pen. Its wound was now scabbed and surrounded by flies. The deer moved from time to time and was obviously a little nervous when he saw Li Long coming.
Li Long knew that this thing only needs to live, and how long it can live can only depend on its fate.
"Uncle Luo, then you are busy first, I will go back first."
"Well, go back quickly." Old Uncle Luo said with a smile, "Bring me the meat I have to cook two dishes and have two drinks tonight." Li Long returned home on his bicycle, and Li Qiang was watching under the stove.
Li Long hadn't seen him when he was delivering the things just now. He was here at this time. Li Long smiled and asked:
"Qiangqiang, what are you doing?"
"Uncle, you are Are you back? I'm grilling fish!" Li Qiang said excitedly, "I followed your example and caught a few more crucian carps today. , I wrapped it in sunflower leaves, lit some fire under the pot, and roasted it. I didn’t know if it was cooked or not.”
Li Long looked around the stove and saw that there was no firewood. It seemed that Li Qiang was quite cautious. Then he smiled and said:
“How long have you been baking?”
"I don't know, it's been a while."
"Then take it out and take a look." Li Long said, "How can you tell whether it's cooked or not without looking?"
"Yeah." Li Qiang nodded vigorously.
Li Long saw that it was still early and it would take a while for Li Juan to come back, so he went to the kitchen.
Seeing that there were not many steamed buns left in the steamer, and there were a few dead dough pancakes in the steamed bun tray, I thought about steaming a steamed bun.
He soaked the dough in water first, then poured in flour and water to knead the dough.
"Uncle, the fish is grilled. Can you have one?" Li Qiang came over with a pack of scorched grilled fish and showed it to Li Long like a treasure.
"You can eat, I will steam the steamed buns and fry two more vegetables later."
"Hmm!" Li Qiang left with the grilled fish, not knowing who to show off to.
I haven’t steamed much in this life, but steaming steamed buns in my previous life was considered a basic skill, so it’s definitely no problem.
After the noodles were mixed and covered, he went to pick up the corn stalk and put it on the edge of the stove, then opened the lid of the pot.
It turned out that there was no water in the pot. Li Qiang had lit a dry pot before.
Li Long didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, the pot was not too hot at this time. To be on the safe side, he poured in the water and boiled it after a while.
Here the water was boiling, and over there he brushed the bamboo steamer again, smeared it with oil and left it.
When the water was about to boil, Li Long turned off the heat. Then he saw that the dough was already thick and started to knead the buns.
When Li Juan came back, Li Long's steamed buns had been steamed.
"Uncle, you are back!" Li Juan greeted loudly, "Have you steamed the steamed buns yet?"
"Well," Li Long looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, "First Eat half? We’ll have to cook later.”
"Then I'll wait." Li Juan knew that waiting would bring better results, so she put down her schoolbag and said, "I'm going to cut some pigweed and come back."
If my uncle wants to cook, he must There will be meat and vegetables, Li Juan is sure of this.
She rolled out the basket and took the small sickle and went to the fields.
Li Long cut some deer tripe, intestines and liver and prepared to fry offal. He had a meal in the mountains at noon and it felt good. The offal still needs to be eaten fresh. There is no refrigerator now, so it won’t last long.
After the frying is finished, the remaining food will most likely need to be cooked and eaten separately, otherwise it will be spoiled in the end.
When Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei came back from the fields, the rich aroma of food was already wafting in the yard.
Liang Yuemei looked at Li Juan and Li Qiang eating white steamed buns with meat and vegetables beside the stove, and said with a smile:
"See how your uncle has spoiled you..."
"I am their uncle, who can't be spoiled by them?" Li Long came out of the house and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, wash your hands and eat quickly. It’s been a tiring day.”
After Li Jianguo took the horse and put it away, he came over to the well and asked while washing his hands. Said:
"How are things going in the mountains?"
"It's done. I won't go into the mountains for the next two days. I shot a deer and kept some meat at home. To rectify it, I plan to ask some young men on the team to build a wall or something near the horse number.”
"Okay." Li Jianguo nodded and said, "There hasn't been much work on the team recently. Everyone is doing their own work in the fields. You have trimmed the meat, so it should be no problem to call someone at night."
When you ask people to work, you must have a good meal. This is an unspoken rule. In the past, when people were asked to go to the house, every household had no meat, so they had to make a whole meal of fish, not only to eat well, but at least to satisfy the people.
The Li family is different. Since the Chinese New Year, the life of the Li family has been flourishing. Everyone knows that when the Li family asks people to work, they will definitely not treat them badly.
Even for the two ounces of oil in his stomach, as long as Li Long calls, he will definitely be willing to go.
So when Li Long went to ask for help after dinner, Tian Siping, Xie Yundong and others all agreed.
Li Long didn't call for more people. Six people, including him and Tao Daqiang, totaled eight, which was enough for the work.
"What are you going to do?" When Li Long came back, Li Jianguo asked him in the yard, "Can it be done in one day?"
"One day is enough." Li Long thought about it I want to say, “There are not enough clods of soil. , we still need to dig out the soil, it will take two days..."
"What are you doing with the soil?" Li Jianguo waved, "Can't the old soil work?"
"Of course it will. , but where is it?" Li Long was confused.
"Old team headquarters, do you see what it's like now?" Li Jianguo said, "The roof is gone, and now only the wall is left, but there is no problem with the dirt inside. Let's take our carriage tomorrow. The Tao family's donkey cart was called up, and while people were removing the earth, they were pulling it over to build the wall. It must have been completed in one day!"
Li Long then remembered, yes!
The old team headquarters is right next door to Li Qiang’s preschool. When the team was born, they originally planned to share the wood with Lao Ma among the team members. As a result, the horse number was bought by Li Long. No one wanted the team headquarters, so they just tore down the wood and windows on the roof, leaving an empty shelf.
The child is very destructive and has been playing with the dirt on it. Now only the broken wall is left.
"Then I will bring a piece of meat to the captain to talk about it later," Li Long thought for a while and said, "Although that thing will collapse in the end if it is left there, it is not good if we don't tell the team. Right? ”
"Yes, it's best to talk about it. After all, it was also the original team headquarters. Naturally, there is no point in its collapse. If we want to find out, someone in the team must have said, "If you have reported to the team, then there will be no reason." Same thing."
Li Jianguo also knew that Li Long was considered a popular person in the captain's eyes, and he would still give him face if he could bring in people who made a lot of money in the team.
But favors are favors, and the more you use it, the thinner it gets. If Li Long does things honestly, nothing will happen to him.
It was getting dark. Li Long took the meat to find Xu Chengjun. Xu Chengjun was washing his feet in the yard. When he saw Li Long coming, he smiled and greeted him:
"Xiaolong is back? I heard that a car took you back. Are you going to be an official in the future?”
"What kind of official do you want to be? I just have something to do with the supply and marketing cooperative. I'm on my way." Li Long explained vaguely, handed the meat to Ma Hongmei who came out with a smile, and then told Xu Chengjun about using the old team headquarters soil.
"Use it, it will collapse if you leave it alone, but it will still work if you take it." Xu Chengjun was still very satisfied with Li Long's approach, "Don't worry, we know this well. Use it!”
