Li Long let Officer Guo into the big courtyard and said with a smile:
"I just came back from the mountain. It's quite chaotic here. Don't worry about it."
"What does it matter? "It's very nice here, I'm quite envious of it." Officer Guo looked around with a smile, and then said:
" That's right. The case has been tried for more than half of the time. It will probably be handed over in another ten days and a half. I will briefly explain the situation to you. After all, you play an important role in this."
"Then tell me." Li Long asked Officer Guo to sit down, and he poured a glass of water from the kitchen - Gu Xiaoxia was here, and there was hot water every day.
Officer Guo took the water and sat on the bench, took a sip, and began to talk:
"This case is actually more complicated than we thought. Not only did they resell fake electronic watches, but they also sold some contraband. The Gu Ermao from before was threatening Your stun gun is one of them. Among the items we seized are a batch of tranquilizer guns, which are quite serious.
In addition, we also found a standard pistol from the woman's residence. The investigation was carried out through an arsenal outside the area with spare parts. The clues leaked out in this way are very important. It is a shocking case. The sentences of those people may be increased. For example, Gu Ermao, who you know, will most likely be sentenced to more than five years. And there is another news..."
Police Officer Guo He glanced at Li Long and said slowly:
"Gu Ermao's right leg is disabled, and the hamstring was broken by your stick. We didn't pick it up in time, and we didn't pay much attention at that time. , I may just be limping later.”
"You deserve it!" Li Long said bitterly. With Officer Guo, he doesn't have to hide it.
"Because he is the key person in this, we still need to dig deeper on him. If there are other criminal facts, then his problem will be more serious..."
Li The dragon nodded.
"Since this case is very important in terms of impact, value and other aspects, the above was originally going to publicly commend and reward you, but I stopped it. I think it is better for you to keep a low profile in this regard, After all, most of the second-tier dealers are from surrounding counties and cities, so the possibility of retaliation cannot be ruled out.”
“Well, thank you.”
"And this." Officer Guo took out a small bag. "Originally, it was a planned commendation reward for you. It was one hundred yuan and a banner. Later, because you were a temporary worker in the supply and marketing cooperative, we I made a report - of course, I didn't explain the specific case, I just informed you about the reward. I asked them to exchange it for fifty yuan and ten electronic watches - although this thing is fake, it can be used for a while after being installed with batteries. You see..."
"Okay. Ah." Li Long felt quite satisfied. This thing can't be used as a watch for himself, but it's still good as a toy to give to someone.
After police officer Guo finished explaining the matter, he stood up and left. Li Long originally wanted to give him a few strips of Codonopsis ginseng, but Officer Guo was determined not to, so Li Long stopped forcing him. He knew that this would still have an impact.
Seeing that it was still early, Li Long went out to get a haircut. When he came back, he took most of the Codonopsis pilosula to the purchasing station.
Chen Hongjun was not there, but a female buyer was at the counter. When she saw Li Long coming, she smiled and said:
"Xiao Li is here, what good things have you brought this time?"
Li Long remembered that this person was standing at the counter with Chen Hongjun, so he smiled and said:
"Sister, This time I got some Codonopsis pilosula, please show it.”
"Okay." The elder sister took out a large flat-bottomed bamboo basket, and when Li Long poured Codonopsis pilosula on it, she exclaimed:
"Oh, such a big Codonopsis pilosula!" It’s rare, but there are so many...”
Almost none of the Codonopsis pilosula dug by Li Long was under half a meter tall, and they were all huge. Of course, he kept the biggest ones at home. Although these things were not as big as ginseng, it was rare to grow so big, so naturally he had to keep some for his own use.
“There are a lot of them in the mountains and there are few people digging, so I dug more.” These only account for one-third. There is still one third left by Li Long, and the remaining one third is not drying in the wooden house.
“Not bad, not bad.” The woman had rarely seen so many large Codonopsis pilosulas. She was really surprised. She quickly calmed down and looked at the Codonopsis pilosula one by one and said:
“Comrade Xiao Li, this thing you brought These Codonopsis pilosula are large, well-organized and of good quality, exceeding the standards for first-class products. I will give you the current price of 18 per kilogram."
Li Long remembered what Chen Hongjun said. However, the price of dried Codonopsis pilosula in autumn is about 12 yuan. Now that I can give you eighteen, it must be because the price has increased. Of course, it may also be because the quality of the Codonopsis pilosula I brought is really good.
"Okay." Li Long said with a smile, "Weigh it."
"Okay." The woman did not expect that Li Long agreed so readily. She immediately brought a scale and put a few Codonopsis pilosula on it. , weigh and then add the numbers.
"The total is thirty-seven kilograms and two hundred grams - six hundred and sixty-nine yuan and sixty cents. Come, I will give you an invoice."
One third is six hundred. More, so the total cost is nearly two thousand yuan.
The income for ten days is better than selling fish.
Li Long thought he could go digging in the mountains after two days of rest. There are fewer party members near the wooden house, but you can go to the Big and Small Baiyang Valley.
Li Long was thinking here, waiting for the middle-aged lady to write the ticket, withdraw the money, and ask Li Long to sign and pay the bill. Li Long happily took the money and left.
He returned to the compound, took six more Codonopsis root roots, wrapped them in cloth, and took them to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The doorman changed. Uncle Li was not here, and neither was the original doorman. Fortunately, Li Long had proof and after showing it to the doorman, he got in smoothly.
Li Xiangqian was reading the newspaper in the office. When he saw Li Long come in, he put down the newspaper and said with some complaint:
"Where have you been? You didn't answer the phone calls to your team..."
"I went into the mountains." Li Long opened the bag, put the six branches of Codonopsis pilosula away and said: " Chief, look at this Codonopsis pilosula, how is it? Is it big?”
Two of the Codonopsis pilosulas picked out for Li Xiangqian are human-shaped, with branches and forks, and the remaining six are currency ones. They are the same as a stick, but they look thick and big. "Is this Codonopsis pilosula?" Li Xiangqian was a little confused, "Don't fool me. My mother also catches Codonopsis pilosula to stew chicken. Which party's leader is so big?"
"Haha, stock Chief, I see you don’t know either - this is the Codonopsis pilosula in our Nanshan Mountains. I have been digging this in the mountains these days. These are decades old Codonopsis ginseng. It is not as good as wild ginseng, but it is definitely good for replenishing energy and so on. Strong.”
"Not bad, not bad." Li Qianqian smiled, "Then I'm not polite." He put away the Codonopsis pilosula and softened his tone and said, "Recently, the task of collecting the reeds has come. It has been several days. I was anxious to find you and couldn’t find it. This task is also relatively important, so I gave some to another person. That person is probably already in your team.”
Li Long heard it. Li Qianqian left his hand and asked with a smile:
"How much work did you leave for me, Chief?"
"This batch is 10,000 reed handles. Originally there were 20,000, but 10,000 were divided by others. Others may Already started working on it - the quality needs to be high, there should be more The second batch, but it’s unclear how many there are in the second batch. It most likely depends on the quality of the first batch.”
“Okay, 10,000 will do,” Li Long nodded. What specifications do you want?”
"Have you ever beaten a reed?" Li Xiangqian asked first without answering directly.
"Of course we have. You also know the section chief of our team," Li Long picked up the thermos on the edge of the table, poured it into Li Qianqian's tea cup, found another cup, poured it for himself, and drank. He said in one breath:
"I have done it all, cutting reeds, pulling reeds, beheading heads, and pressing handles."
Although Li Long was considered a "pampered child" in the Li family in the first two years, I still know the basic procedures. It won't last long, but it will work a little.
"Since you know, that's good. The size of a reed handle is ten pieces in a handful, tied three times, with thin wires. I think you should have tools to press the handles, reed handles. The length should be no less than two and a half meters, and it can be longer, but since people ask for two and a half meters, let’s stick to this...the reeds in the reed handles cannot be thin, and if they are hairy, the quality will be poor. "< br>
"How much does a handful cost?"
"Because you need to use thin wire and special tools, and considering that you also need to draw reeds, so it costs 20 cents for a handful."
Li Long calculated. Before he entered the factory last year, the team smoked reeds, and the standard for a reed handle was about the same as this, costing ten cents each. Now that it has doubled, one reason should be the increase in demand, and the other reason should be to invigorate the economy now. Those who used to keep prices down can no longer do so. With competition, prices will naturally rise.
Thinking about the fact that there is a reed ditch and a reed lake on both sides of the team, there are also many reeds in Xiaohaizi, and there are some reed ponds above Dahaizi. The number of reeds must be enough, so he said to Li Xiangqian readily: < br>
“Captain, there is no problem with this price. How long will it take for delivery?”
"The original time for ten thousand reed handles was one month, but several days have passed now." Li Xiangqian calculated, "You have about twenty-five days, can you get it done?"
“Absolutely no problem, maybe there will be more delivered.”
“Okay, I’ll leave this to you. I’ll come over to receive the goods then. , you can’t embarrass me.”
“Don’t worry, chief, I’ll go back now... No, I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy twenty kilograms of thin wire.”
"Well, not bad, I have an idea. You can go back and take a look at that person. After all, the person who takes over the job is also from your hometown. Be careful of competition."
Li Long's heart sank slightly. It would be really difficult to handle competition.
Weizi is relatively rich in resources. Apart from its own team, the only one left is a village below Dahaizi. There are some reed ponds nearby, and a junior high school student in that team wrote the essay "I Love the Reeds in My Hometown."
However, the amount of reeds there is not as much as here, so if that person is in his hometown, there is a high probability that he has already found someone in the team to harvest reeds.
I am facing a powerful enemy!
After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Long went to the sales department and bought 20 kilograms of thin wire to put on the back seat of his bicycle. After thinking about it, he spent money and bought 50 pairs of white thread gloves. Cutting reeds mainly relies on physical strength, but pulling reeds requires gloves, otherwise the hands will be useless.
He had spent dozens of dollars without making any money, but Li Long didn't feel bad. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
He turned to the big meat restaurant, bought ten big meat buns and returned to the compound. It was already noon, and Gu Xiaoxia and Li Long were waiting to enter the door.
"You're back?" Gu Xiaoxia was quite pleasantly surprised, "Did you get a haircut? You look very energetic."
"Well, I have to go back to the team right away, there's a lot of work to do. "Li Long put the car away, raised the buns on hand and said, "Don't cook for lunch, just eat buns."
"Okay. What's so urgent about the team?" Gu Xiaoxia said while in the kitchen. He asked while adjusting the ingredients.
"I took over a reed-pressing job from the supply and marketing cooperative, and someone else in the village also took it. I had to go back quickly to check the situation. If everyone in the team took the job there, I would have to think of another way. ."
"I heard that the team really picked it up." Gu Xiaoxia was a little worried, "When I went back last time, my dad said that the village chief had taken the people from the village group. Call us to discuss it. This matter is... quite troublesome, isn't it? "
"It's actually not troublesome. Think about it, there are so many reeds in our team, maybe there will be some left in the end. The more work you do in the team, the more money you can make, which is a good thing." Gu Xiaoxia felt relieved when she saw Li Long was so confident. She placed the prepared sauce in front of herself and Li Long, and the two began to eat the buns.
The meat buns in the Big Meat Canteen were still delicious, but Li Long had something in mind, so he ate them very quickly. Two or three mouthfuls were just one bun. Gu Xiaoxia hurriedly poured hot water, mixed it with cold boiled water, and mixed it with warm water. In Li Long's hands.
Li Long smiled at her, picked up the bowl and took a sip.
After eating, Li Long hurriedly rode his bicycle and rushed to the team.
He still doesn’t know what situation is left for him in the team. (End of this chapter)
