Qian Zhongxin went to the county to sell Cynomorium cynomorium. He went there carrying a sack and came back carrying another sack.
Not sold.
People saw it when I went there and when I came back, and then it became a joke among the idle passers-by in the team.
"The matter between Tao Dayong and Gu Ermao hasn't been made clear to him yet. There is some money that we can earn, but let's not even think about earning some money. The Li family's Xiaolong is not ordinary. Now that we are all members of the public, how can it be the same? "
"That's right, the Li family's Xiaolong has fucked several wolves in the mountains, so I wouldn't dare to do it anyway."
"Just because he can help the team with the job of tying brooms, I will obey him!"
"Then why don't you ask for help? That's a lot of money!"< br>
"That's not without me - I'm just waiting for him to come to Qiuli and do some work for the team, then this year The money will come out in the next two days.”
“Why don’t you dig up Cynomorium in the past two days? You can get a few dollars to spend that day.”
“Isn’t it too late? Well, by the time I find out, the nearby alkali beach has been occupied by others and is almost ready to be dug.”
"Just watch, for this money Zhongxin will eventually have to sell Cynomorium Cynomorium to Li Long - I just don't know if Li Long will accept the good stuff."
"I don't think so. I'll go there this morning. Li Long sells Cynomorium cynomorium, and those who were killed in the beach are allowed to He picked it out, and he said he didn't want it. They have standards for receiving goods..."
Li Long didn't care about the things the team members talked about about him. At the moment, he was cleaning up Cynomorium cynomorium, and he planned to take it with him this time. The carriage went to sell everything in the warehouse.
These dry goods weigh more than 200 kilograms and can be sold for more than 100 yuan. It is worth dispatching a carriage. Accustomed to the speed of bicycles, Li Long was really uncomfortable riding a carriage to the county.
The weather was a bit cloudy and windy. Li Long was wearing a straw hat. He really missed his SUV in his last life. Think about it, it will take twenty or thirty years before you can drive an SUV in this life. By then, you will be old.
He went to the medicine company to sell Cynomorium cynomorium, and when he came back and was almost in the queue, a truck drove over from behind. Li Long led the horse to lean to the side, and hid on the other side of the carriage to avoid being hit by the stones kicked up by the truck. Hitting.
The truck stopped on the edge.
The person in the passenger seat looked over from the driver's side and asked Li Long:
"Young man, can I ask you something?"
" Okay." Li Long said with a smile, "Uncle, what do you ask?"
The other person is in his fifties and not as old as Li Qingxia, but at this age it's still okay to call him uncle.
"Which team are you on, right?" He pointed to the team in front, which was Li Long's team.
"Yes."
"Then do you know Li Jianguo?"
Li Long was a little confused, who is this person? Why did you ask about eldest brother directly?
He looked at this person seriously, but he didn't recognize him and had no impression of him.
"I know, why are you asking him?"
"Haha, just know. I am a relative of his, young man, can you give me some directions? I'll give you a melon to eat. ”
Li Long turned his head and took a look, only to realize that the trucks were filled with watermelons, which were a bit over the top.
"No need, I'll take you there." Li Long said, "The road ahead is difficult. Please drive your truck slowly across the ditch, otherwise it will smash the watermelon."
"Okay, okay, you are in front." The man retracted his seat with a smile, "I will definitely give you some melons later - these are melons from the field, keep them sweet!"
When he said this, Li Long was even more confused. Did he have any relatives in the field?
I led the carriage and cracked the whip, walked in front, led the truck across the Wei ditch, and then all the way to Li's house.
Seeing Li Long directly leading the carriage to the yard, the man was a little strange. He asked the driver to park the truck on the side of the road, and he got down and followed him into the yard.
Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei haven't come back yet, and the meal hasn't arrived yet. Li Qingxia and Tao Daqiang are picking up nets in the yard, and Du Chunfang is picking vegetables in the vegetable garden.
"Is this Li Jianguo?" the man asked.
"Yes." Li Long said with a smile, "Look, this is Li Jianguo's father, and inside that is Li Jianguo's mother. I am Li Jianguo's brother, and you are..."
< br>"Who is he?" Li Qingxia was also confused.
"This old uncle said he was a relative of my eldest brother. I don't know who he is."
Li Qingxia looked at that person in confusion.
"Ouch! The flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple!" The man slapped his thigh, "Young man, you told me you were Jianguo's younger brother! My name is Liang Dongting, and I am Liang Donglou's cousin. I am..."
"I know, I know!" Li Long immediately realized that this relative was actually his sister-in-law's, but they were all members of the same family these days, so Liang Dongting said he was a relative of Li Jianguo.
After all, at this time, the man is the outsider and the woman is the housewife. If you ask people on the roadside, many people must know about Li Jianguo, but if it is Liang Yuemei, the younger generation may not know.
"Uncle Dongting, sit down quickly." Li Long hurriedly gave up his seat, "I'll pour you some water -"
"What kind of water do you want to pour? You go to the car and give me a hug Come on, don't eat watermelon at this time!" Liang Dongting smiled, "Brother, sister-in-law, when did you come from your hometown, Jianguo?"
"My father and mother came here a few months ago. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are still on the wheat field, and there are still some finishing tasks to be done."
"Come on, come on, eat melon!" Liang Dongting said He bought a large watermelon of about ten kilograms and said with a smile:
"This is grown by myself. In the land I allocated this year, I planted half corn and half watermelon. This year's watermelon is particularly sweet. Come on, come on, don't work too hard yet, try it!"
Everyone put down what they were doing and started eating watermelon.
After eating two pieces, Li Long and Tao Daqiang picked up the net together. He didn't go to Shicheng to sell fish today, so he only had six nets, which he picked up quickly. After Tao Daqiang left, Li Long went to the house to make noodles.
With two more people, we need to prepare some solid meals.
The only way is to make a note.
Du Chunfang also joined the chat, because this Uncle Dongting is an open-minded person, and he can talk about everything from following his brother Donglou to work hard to settling down in Xiaye, to growing melons. Difficulties and so on have all been mentioned.
Then he also talked about the situation in his hometown. Unlike Li Long, he was already in his thirties when he came from his hometown, and he had a family. Come here by yourself first, and then after settling down, bring your family over.
Li Long starts cooking and making rice. There are two dishes for stir-frying. One is mutton rolled in spicy skin. The tomatoes in the garden are quite ripe. I use one tomato, five large spicy skins, plus two tablespoons of diced mutton. The vegetables are in the pot. At that time, the fragrance filled the yard.
This made Liang Dongting, who was chatting enthusiastically, couldn't help but turn his head and take a look, and then said:
"Hey, Xiaolong's craftsmanship is pretty good! What kind of dish is this? Why does it taste so spicy?"
This means that the taste is very exciting and very good.
“Roll the spicy skin and eat the strips later.” Li Long said with a smile, “This tastes delicious when mixed with noodles.”
“Well, it smells delicious! "Liang Dongting nodded, he was really a little hungry. Take out a small pot of mutton and roll it in spicy skin. Looking at the red spicy skin and the thick soup, it is absolutely delicious.
Put this in the kitchen - mainly because there are some flies under the shed and they will be very annoying if no one catches them.
Then Li Long stir-fried the second dish, and firewood was lit under the other stove, and a steamer was set up above. Li Long steamed the dried meat and salted dried fish.
"This little dragon monster of yours is very capable." Liang Dongting watched Li Long busy on the stoves on both sides and said in a low voice, "I think he came back from outside with the carriage today and went to work, right? Now again Cooking - a leader inside and outside!"
"Hehe, that's right." What Li Qingxia is most proud of is that his youngest son has become successful. For a man of his age, his children are promising and live a happier and more respectable life than himself.
Well, I especially want to save face.
"Do you have a partner?" Liang Dongting was very gossipy and asked with a smile.
“Yes, I am a teacher.” Du Chunfang was also very proud.
"It's in the Education Bureau." Li Qingxia added.
At this time, Li Long didn't know that the content of their chat had implicated him. The second dish, stir-fried eggplant with tomatoes and peppers, has been taken out of the pot. It is also a large pot. Then I pour water into the pot and prepare it for the next step.
Li Juan came back from outside carrying a basket of pigweed. When she saw so many people and a fire under the stove, she hurriedly put down the pigweed and came to light the fire.
"Is this Jianguo's child? Xiaoni, come and eat melon!" Liang Dongting said with a smile.
“You have to call me grandpa, this is my little grandpa.” Li Long introduced Li Juan with a smile, “My family is in Shichengxiayedi.”
“My little grandpa. Okay." Li Juan said with a smile.
“Okay, come on, Ni, eat melon!”
Liang Dongting stood up and brought a piece of watermelon to Li Juan. Li Juan took it and ate it slowly while lighting the fire.
Li Long entered the room and started kneading noodles.
Li Qiang’s voice soon came from outside.
There was a lot of fighting today, and Li Long was a little unable to control it. The fighting was a bit soft, but it was okay and he could pull it off. It just might not be as thin as usual.
Li Long likes to eat the strips very thinly. He feels that eating them this way is more friendly to the stomach. Of course, some people just like to eat thicker food, and their stomachs are more powerful. They can eat a plate of noodles thicker than chopsticks and not be hungry for a whole day - very nervous, in their words, very hungry.
While the noodles were being served here, Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei entered the courtyard. In fact, they had already seen the truck on the wheat field, but they thought someone at home was there, and they guessed it was a watermelon seller. Li Long had big hands, and he always bought watermelons by the sack, so there was no surprise.
So when Liang Yuemei recognized Liang Dongting, it was a bit of a surprise. She and this little cousin had not seen each other for some years.
Within twenty minutes of chatting and reminiscing about old times, the meal was already being served.
When Li Long put the dried meat and salted dried fish in a basin on the table outside, and brought up the two dishes for mixing noodles, and placed the two plates of noodles in front of Liang Dongting and the driver, Liang Dongting was surprised :
"I've passed it! I'm content with a plate of noodles. You guys are going too far...Aren't you going to pass it?"
"Where is that?" Liang Yuemei said with a smile, "This meat and fish are all made by Xiaolong. The food is just ordinary. Uncle, you can take care of it."
"It's just a common meal, uncle, you can You're welcome! "Li Jianguo also has face, Li Long cooked this meal really well!"
Li Long placed two more plates of noodles in front of Li Qingxia and Du Chunfang. Liang Dongting gave him a thumbs up:
"Xiaolong, you are so awesome! This rice is beautiful and tastes good!"
"Then you guys should eat more, it's so far away Come here, you must be hungry." Li Long said with a smile, "You're welcome when you get home!"
"Yes, yes, we're home now, don't be polite." Li Qingxia also said.
Liang Yuemei went to get some new garlic and put it on the table. Whoever eats it will peel it.
Next is Li Juan and Li Qiang having dinner, then Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei.
By the time Li Long wiped the sweat from his forehead and carried the plate to the table, Liang Dongting had already eaten two plates of noodles and was gnawing on the bones. After being persuaded by his family, he was really rude.
After dinner, Liang Dongting drank a bowl of noodle soup, rested for a while, pointed at the truck and said:
"Xiaolong, go up and move the watermelons. You can take any of your own watermelons!"
"Then take some." Li Qingxia knew that Liang Dongting would not be happy if he didn't take it. He was so casual when eating, he really didn't see anyone outside. Now he wants to move the watermelon down and if you don't take it, that would be hurtful.
Li Long said with a smile:
"Uncle, I'm not polite. This big watermelon is good to eat, sweet and chewy, but you have to carry it in a sack."
“How can one sack be enough?” Liang Dongting said, “Why should we have three sacks...”
"I can't finish it." Li Jianguo interjected, "The watermelon Xiaolong bought earlier has not been finished yet."
Li Long pulled a sack of watermelon from the truck, and he was not polite. He was not polite at this time. Liang Dongting is really angry.
Li Long and Li Jianguo stuffed the watermelons under the bed. Li Long said to Liang Dongting:
"Uncle, I will go to the village director and shout to you with a loudspeaker to ask someone to come and buy watermelons. It’s just after lunch and everyone is at home.”
“That’s great. I sell this melon for three cents a kilogram.”
"Delivered to your doorstep, three cents is not expensive, and this melon is so good." Li Long said smoothly, "Just wait."
He got on his bicycle, with two watermelons stuck in the back seat, and went out Ride away.
"Your little dragon is very clever." Liang Dongting said to Li Qingxia, "But is it possible? The village director can let him use the big speaker?"
"I will definitely let him use it." Li Qingxia said to This one was really confident, "Don't worry, get ready to weigh the melons."
Li Long first placed a melon at Uncle Luo's place, and then took another melon to Xu Chengjun's house.
"Director, I'll give you a melon." Li Long saw Xu Chengjun smoking under the grape trellis in the yard. Knowing that he had already eaten, he said with a smile:
"Authentic watermelon from Xiayedi, Bao "Sweet!"
"If you have anything to do, just say it and bring me a melon." Xu Chengjun is now also polite and affectionate towards Li Long. Li Long's two jobs have earned the team several thousand yuan. , such people really need to be supported.
“A relative of mine who works in the field brought a cart of melons to sell here. I want to shout with a loudspeaker.”
“Okay, go ahead and shout. How do you turn on the phone to find out? Right? ”
"I know, I know. Can I come in now?"
"Come in, come in, what's not allowed in."
Li Long entered the room, turned on his phone, and started shouting through the loudspeaker stand up.
There was no "puff" sound as they were used to in the past, but it made the villagers curious. When they heard that the watermelon truck was in the team, the price was three cents per kilogram, and it was watermelon from the field, and they suddenly became curious. The young man was moved, so he took the sack and went to Li's house. (End of this chapter)
