Chapter 234: Half a Ten Thousand Yuan Household
Qin Huaimin started checking as soon as he got started.
From each pile, he would randomly pick out five or six large brooms, weigh them in his hand, then sweep them on the ground, and then reach out and tug at the splendens.
Li Long's expression was a bit playful.
"Xiaolong, your expression... I think there is nothing wrong with Lao Qin's inspection? He is quite detailed. Why are you looking at him like an amateur?" Li Qianqian looked sharply and saw that Li Long looked wrong. , he pulled him aside and asked in a low voice.
"Chief, we are one of our own. Since you asked, I will tell you the truth. Chief Qin's inspection method is indeed no problem for ordinary brooms, and it looks like that. But the inspection method of Ji Ji broom is like this. There is 100% chance that there will be no problem.
We have inspected fifty or sixty brooms with problems ourselves. If Chief Qin inspects them, all of them will be qualified, but we will not use such brooms. Let it go.”
"Then how should we check?"
"You mainly look at the splendens. When he checks, he not only checks the splendens, but also the pole. There is something wrong with this splendens, not only is it not strong solid, It also depends on whether it is brittle and easy to break.
Whether the pole is tied correctly, whether the wire loop is tightened, and whether the burned and chopped part of the splendens is long enough. br>
This inspection is mainly to prevent problems such as the splendens splendens may not fall off but will break, the broom pole will fall off, and the wire circle will come off after using the large broom for a period of time.
Some people will use inferior splendens to tie up the broom with splendens that is not long enough. In order to make the broom look good, only the top of the cherry blossoms are burned. Then the splendens in the sweeping part of the broom will not be tough enough and will easily Break..."
Li When Long explained in such a low voice, Li Xiangqian understood.
"Then you brooms..."
"Don't worry, chief, we are all experts, and those who are unqualified will be eliminated directly. We won't hand over that kind of broom. ”
"That's good... Xiaolong, if you do this, I will feel relieved!"
After checking around, Qin Huaimin came back and said with a smile on his face:
" Not bad, not bad. The quality of these big brooms is very good. Lao Li, in the village you chose, the people who set up the brooms and the people responsible for inspections have a high sense of responsibility. Very strong, really good!"
Li Xiangqian thought about the details that Li Long whispered just now, and said with a smile:
"Of course, OK, now that we have passed the random inspection, then we will Load the truck. It’s not easy for people in the village to pack brooms. Let’s take them away as soon as possible so we can settle the bill.”
As soon as they heard the payment, the village representatives' eyes lit up.
I can get money, and almost every family has money this time. Who can be unhappy?
The money has arrived before the end of the year, and it is not a small amount. Any difficulties the family has can be solved in time.
"Xiaolong, you follow us to the club." Li Xiangqian said, "First settle the account taken away this time. By the way, the rest..."
"The rest It will be completed tomorrow! ”
"Okay, okay, let's take back two thousand brooms this time." Li Long said, "It's easy to settle the bill this way."
The village representatives worked together to pile large brooms on the car, while Li Long went back I took two bicycles with me and put five or six half guns in holsters on my back.
The money for two thousand brooms is a huge amount of money, and Li Long can't guarantee whether there will be any accidents.
Two thousand brooms were brought to the supply and marketing cooperative. Li Long followed Qin Huaimin to issue invoices and then collect the money.
He put several thick wads of banknotes in his satchel and took them to the bank.
Two thousand, of which one thousand was his commission, and the remaining one thousand from the last sale of snow leopards, plus the four thousand dollars he had spent selling fish, fritillaries, antlers and other things these days, he saved Got two deposit certificates. A separate piece for the snow leopard skin, and a piece for the remaining money.
Li Long still has a few hundred dollars in change on him for emergencies.
There was six thousand yuan in the satchel, and Li Long was no longer as excited as he was when he first got the money.
We are still some distance away from our goal.
His five thousand yuan is enough to buy a hand-held or small four-wheel tractor, but it is not needed yet. A horse-drawn carriage is enough.
If you want to buy a tractor, you have to wait until the second round of land allocation and the first round of land contracting in the team. At that time, each family has more land, and it is a bit inappropriate to use a horse-drawn carriage. Then you can buy a tractor.
riding with a gun on his back, nothing happened until he returned to the team. He went directly to Xu Chengjun's house.
What surprised Li Long was that all the village representatives were there, including the accountant.
When these people saw Li Long coming back on his bicycle, all of them stared!
Li Long put the bicycle away, took off his satchel with a gun on his back, and said to Xu Chengjun:
"Captain, I got the money back. The accountant is here now. How about counting the money?"
"Okay."
The three of them entered the room together, and the meeting began to count the money.
The six stacks were neatly organized, and the slips of paper were not opened, but the accountant still counted them one by one very responsibly.
After Li Long wrote down the receipt, Xu Chengjun said:
"Xiaolong, the money for your pole will be paid to you now."
"Okay, I just took it and divided it up." Li Long said with a smile, "Do you want to sign?"
"It must be signed." Xu Chengjun said with a smile, "How can I do it without signing?"
After Li Long signed, he put a wad of money in his bag and went out.
Xu Chengjun followed and started calling village representatives one by one to share the money.
Li Long first went to Tao Daqiang and told him his money-sharing plan.
Tao Daqiang still felt that he had taken too much, Li Long waved his hand and said:
"Work together, then since we don't count according to the count, we just believe you. We don't do so much, just It’s evenly distributed. If you agree with this distribution plan, then take the money.”
Tao Daqiang felt like he was dreaming when he got the two hundred and fifty yuan at once!
Tao Jianshe was also very excited. Li Long didn't care so much. He still wanted to go back and give his father some money.
"Then I got this money?" Li Qingxia said with a smile, "It's so easy to make money in Northern Xinjiang..."
"If Xiaolong hadn't brought it with him, how could you have made so much? You see how hard people work? How much does it cost for a hard day's work on a broom?" When Du Chunfang heard this, she knew that Li Qingxia was upset and said to him, "Don't be so arrogant..."
Li Qingxia chuckled.
Li Long handed the remaining five hundred yuan to Liang Yuemei:
"Sister-in-law, this is my brother's and the carriage's share. You keep it first."
"So much?" Although Liang Yuemei already knew it, the feeling of receiving a thick stack of dough in her hand was quite shocking.
This is the first time in this life that I have so much money in my hand - and it belongs to my own family!
“No more, no more, there will be more and more in the future!” Li Long said with a smile.
Yes, things will get better and better in the future. At noon the next day, the remaining brooms had been tied up, and each family still had some left. Xu Chengjun directly informed the remaining brooms that they could either use them at home or sell them in the market.
Li Long knew that the price of a large broom at three and a half yuan would not be likely to rise again in seven or eight years.
Because starting from next year, the market will be more active and more people will be able to hold large brooms. The market will directly drive down the price of large brooms. Although it is impossible for each village to pierce so many poles at once in a short period of time - after all, the poles are limited, a small number of dozens or hundreds of poles can still be pierced.
This is a market capacity issue.
It wasn’t until the 1990s that the price of a large broom was pushed to ten yuan. In the new century, it slowly rose to twenty yuan, and then it stayed there.
Mainly because ten years later in the new century, manual labor will no longer be needed to tie the broom. There are special machines that stuff the splendens in, press the wire to wrap it up, and tie the broom.
Convenient and fast, only simple manual operations are required.
This industry supports many people, and it can be regarded as a longevity industry.
Unlike lifting handles, when donkey carts, horse-drawn carriages and tractors began to become popular, it began to countdown to the stage of history.
Of course, this is all for later.
Li Long put the bicycle on the car again, followed the car to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then issued an invoice and settled the bill.
Li Xiangqian was not here this time. According to the person purchasing the stocks, he was on a business trip.
After Li Long settled the account, he first took out 500 yuan and put it away himself. He took the remaining money back to the team and handed it to the accountant, and then received his own 500 yuan.
Another thousand dollars.
This thousand will not be saved for the time being, but will be put away.
The task of tying brooms was completely over, and every household in the team shared the money - even Lao Luo took the time to pierce a few brooms and earn some pocket money.
Every household was beaming with joy. Some people even went to Li Jianguo to ask if the pigs would be killed. If so, he would buy some meat.
Li Jianguo laughed and scolded the person away. This pig is only less than 40 kilograms now, how can he kill it?
But this also shows that now that everyone has some money, they want to live a better life.
Those who have nets at home will go to Xiaohaizi to catch some fish to improve their food. Tao Daqiang came over and asked Li Long. Li Long directly handed him the net and said that he would not sell fish for the next two days. Tao Daqiang was very happy. I went to practice throwing the net.
It takes several days to shade the wheat field, and the team will also coordinate to release water from Xiaohaizi to water the wheat field. Near the wheat field where the Li family belongs, Li Jianguo has a carriage, and two other families have a donkey cart, which is enough to hold the place.
However, when the Nianzi division that originally belonged to the team was divided, Li Long worked hard on his own. When the wheat field was being watered, he pulled a carriage to the countryside early in the morning. He planned to make an iron Nianzi.
The reason why he was pulling the carriage was to pull two pieces of wood. He first unloaded the wood to the carpenter and asked him to make a small table and then a high and low cabinet.
After Qu Carpenter agreed, Li Long went to the agricultural machinery repair shop again to make an iron roller.
The iron roller is relatively simple. Eight thick iron plates one meter long are welded into an octahedron. Stones and iron blocks are placed inside, sealed at both ends, and then iron rods are welded, bearings are added, and Put on the traction wire rope or steel bar hook, and it's ready.
Because except for the filling inside, everything else is made of iron, so it is relatively expensive.
Li Long paid 25 yuan to make this iron roller (roller) and came over to pull it in the afternoon.
After this was done, he pulled the carriage directly to the mountains. In the meantime, I had some noodles in the county town, and then went into the mountains. I was familiar with the road and pulled two fallen logs. I cut them into sections in the mountains and carried them in the car.
Li Longdu admired himself - now it really doesn't take much effort to load seventy or eighty kilograms of stuff into the car. It's not like in the previous life, when I was forty or fifty years old, my back hurt even when I carried a bag of corn weighing thirty or forty kilograms.
Li Long pulled a cart of wood and walked back. He felt that he was still adapting to the climate in the mountains - although the sun was bright in the mountains, it was not very hot. When it's noon on the wheat field, I feel like the heat wave is hitting my face, which can make people faint.
When he pulled a cart of wood to the countryside, the iron roller was already ready, so Li Long hung it on the back of the carriage and rumbled all the way back home.
The noise of the roller was so loud that students who were returning home from school followed them and shouted loudly. Li Long was afraid that the roller would crush the students or the falling stones would hit the middle school students, so he raised his whip to scare them away. .
On the way to Weigou, I saw Li Juan and several classmates walking back together, and Li Long called her.
"Juan, do you want to take the carriage?"
"Uncle, I won't sit." Li Juan looked at her classmates and said, "I went back with them."
“Okay, you guys stay out of the way and I’ll rush over first.”
There was no water in the ditch inside the reed ditch, and because the carriage was equipped with rollers, it could not walk on the cement board, so Li Long hurriedly walked across the shallow beach on the side.
After he passed Weigou, he thought about whether he should tell his team to repair the road and build a bridge or something during the farm slack period after autumn. Otherwise, the road would always be interrupted by flooding.
Of course, if you think so, it depends on what to do later. Li Long also knows that he is a bit like a rafter in the limelight now and can no longer be in the limelight casually.
I pulled the iron roller to the door of my house, and the rumbling sound attracted my family and neighbors.
Li Jianguo came out and saw Li Long pulling back another cart of wood. He was surprised at first, and then smiled:
"You can do that, the wood is still with you. When you left, you pulled two pieces of wood, and when you came back, you pulled six pieces. You can do it!"
He looked at the iron roller again, nodded and said :
"This is good. This looks more durable than the stone roller."
Li Long knew that the iron roller could be used until the tractor arrived. The iron roller was strong and not like the old-fashioned ones. A stone roller needs to be equipped with a wooden frame, and it will break easily.
After unloading the wood, Li Long led the carriage to the horse pen. Li Jianguo, Lu Yingming, and Li Qingxia pulled the wire rope of the iron roller into the yard and shouted a slogan, and put it in the yard. good.
"This guy is great." Lu Yingming said, "It can be used for many years."
"I heard that someone in the village has bought a walk-behind tractor, the one with grasshopper legs, the one with this iron roller That’s exciting!”
“More than three thousand, it’s not cheap!” Li Jianguo had obviously asked about it before, “Let’s talk about it later, there is a carriage now. Let's use it first."
"That's right." Lu Yingming just thought about it, "I don't know who in our team can buy a walking tractor first."
"Wang. You're a money fan." Li Jianguo stepped on the iron roller and said, "He can make a lot of money plowing the land. I guess it will be his in a year or two."
"Your little dragon is not bad either." Lu Yingming said with a smile, "You can make a lot of money selling fish every day."
"Not bad." Li Jianguo was a little proud, "He can fool himself."< br>
"When are we going to get engaged? I heard that the Wu family member is getting married soon." Lu Yingming whispered, "It will be this month."
"Really?"
“Really.”
