Tang Hongsheng felt that he was beeping too. He was extremely regretful now. Why did he insist on searching there? Isn’t it good to go out?
I went back, but couldn’t find anything. Halfway out of the mountain, I felt a little regretful, as if I still had a place to look for, so I finally returned, only to catch up with the spring rain.
It was raining and I couldn’t go anywhere. I finally made it to the end of the rain and thought of going to the target area quickly. If I could find it, I would look for it. If I couldn’t find it, I would go out. In the end, I met two enemies.
When the two men saw Tang Hongsheng looking for something, they ran over and threatened him and asked him to hand over the thing.
The hero Tang Hongsheng did not suffer the immediate loss, so he handed them the few pieces he had just picked up that looked like copper coins and silver coins.
The rather strong man searched Tang Hongsheng's body and then told him to get out. Tang Hongsheng was glad that he hid the money he exchanged from Li Long first, otherwise it would have been searched.
Knowing that someone here had an owner, Tang Hongsheng wanted to change places. Anyway, the things he found in the mountains were not in the same place. Unexpectedly, when he was looking for them in another ravine today, he ran into those two again.
Fortunately, those two were at the mouth of the ditch. When they called Tang Hongsheng, he turned around and ran, and then ran to Li Long.
Seeing Tang Hongsheng running in panic, Li Long put down the bowl and ran into the house to take out the gun. But after gesticulating for a long time, he didn't see anything behind this guy.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Long remembered this tall and thin man and asked, "Is there a wolf behind you? Or is someone chasing you?"
"No, no, there's no one, I'm just hungry... By the way, do you accept this?" Tang Hongsheng didn't tell the truth. He was worried that if he told Li Long that someone was driving him away, Li Long would drive him away too, otherwise he would be in trouble. .
What Tang Hongsheng took out this time was a copper incense burner. It looked quite heavy and weighed heavily on the hand.
It is also covered with green rust, but this incense burner is thick, so the rust is nothing.
"Take it," Li Long stood up and took the incense burner and looked at it. He found that Liu Shanmin was also looking at the incense burner, so he handed it over and said:
"You want to take a look too?"
"This is the standard of the Xuande stove." Liu Shanmin was really knowledgeable. He looked at the stove and said, "It's just an imitation of the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, not the real thing."
"Isn't it true?" Tang Hongsheng originally said I still wanted a high price, but when I heard it was a fake, I lost the confidence to ask for a high price.
"Can that be exchanged for...ten yuan?" Tang Hongsheng was a little hopeful.
"Yes." Liu Shanmin nodded and turned to look at Li Long.
"Okay, just say it." Such a heavy copper stove can be sold for three to five yuan, not to mention it is an antique.
"Can we still have a bowl of rice?" Upon hearing this, Tang Hongsheng climbed up the pole. He turned around and looked behind him, and found that no one was catching up with him. He felt relieved.
"Okay." Li Long found an enamel bowl to fill him with a bowl of rice, and pointed to the cooked and chopped offal and wolf meat on the table.
Tang Hongsheng took the bowl and immediately started eating it. Although I changed some food before, can the food be compared with here? There's no comparison at all. He hasn't had a proper meal in several days.
Li Long poured him another bowl of rice soup. Since you promise to feed people, don't be too stingy.
After eating two bowls, Tang Hongsheng patted his belly and felt full. After drinking the rice soup, he stood up and looked at Li Long.
"Go wash the dishes, and I'll get you money." Li Long said politely, "No one will clean up for you here." with a big unity picture.
Tang Hongsheng took the money, looked at the mountains again, then said hello to the two people and left quickly.
“Someone wandered in the woods over there just now, and then retreated in.” Liu Shanmin waited for Tang Hongsheng to leave, and then said to Li Long, “They should be chasing this person.”
"Well, it should be." Li Long nodded.
"They probably saw you there, so they didn't rush and continued to chase. You have quite a high prestige here. Others don't dare to chase people when they come to you."
"It's not my high prestige, it's me There is a gun in his hand." Li Long patted the gun and said, "This thing is the real power."
That's what Li Long said. He didn't expect that because of these two things, It would probably be thought of as a place like the Peace Hotel.
Don't make trouble here, if you want to make trouble, wait until you leave.
It’s just such a place.
Of course, it's just for fun, he really doesn't have that kind of prestige.
Lin Xiaohu and He Yiku sighed as they watched Tang Hongsheng arrive at Li Long's place.
“Boss, are you chasing me?”
“What are you chasing? I can’t chase you anymore.” Lin Xiaohu turned around and walked towards the mountain, “Now let’s go to that spot and have a look. I just hope there’s nothing there. It was washed away and has not been dug up.”
The good news is that several points have been discovered. The bad news is that the contents found at several points have been leaked.
Now I just hope that the most precious things are not exposed. He didn't want to face Li Long unless he had to. The local snake has a gun and connections. If he offends him, he will be in endless trouble unless he is beaten to death with a stick.
Besides, he also saw that the tall and thin man seemed to have only picked up a stove, which was not a good thing.
“If you take care of this stove and sell it, you can sell it for dozens of yuan.” Liu Shanmin pointed to the stove placed on the case and said, “But we have to find a suitable buyer. This People who collect these things in the old days Most of them are in the mainland, but there are very few here. "
"Just leave it, at worst, it can be used as an incense burner." Li Long really doesn't care, he just wants to keep these things for free later. It can be tidied up and played with slowly. With it in hand, there is no need to watch TV or watch in museums.
Seeing that Li Long didn't care, Liu Shanmin didn't say anything more. He got up and slowly went to the spring to wash his bowl.
Watching him wash slowly and carefully, Li Long didn't care so much. After clearing his dishes, he planned to take out all the meat from the pot and put it in the small room.
The fire under the stove is removed, the pot is cleaned and covered with a lid. The water inside will be dried, so that as long as it doesn't rain, the pot will not rust.
After doing this, Li Long looked around and saw that no one came to change things, so he went to the house to take out his bedding and dry it again. After drying it, he said to Liu Shanmin:
"You're injured, so you'd better go hide for a while. Resting will help your recovery."
"Okay." Liu Shanmin didn't say much, and slowly moved back to the shed, uncovering the The quilt was laid on.
After Li Long put the bedding in the sun, he was too lazy to look for mushrooms anymore. The sun was too poisonous, so he had better take a rest.
Then I saw Tang Hongsheng running back again.
Li Long looked at him strangely and asked:
"What's wrong with you?"
"This...boss, I heard from you that your tractors are turning every afternoon. Going east, where are you going?" Tang Hongsheng asked instead of answering Li Long's question.
"Did you see that? That's called carrying poles. I have a group of people weaving poles in the ditch to the east. I have to go there every day."
"Can I get out of the mountain there?" Tang Hongsheng asked again One sentence.
"Yes." Li Long probably understood what Tang Hongsheng was thinking.
"Then...can you take me there?"
"Yes, yes, but it will be too late by then." Li Long hesitated, "You won't be able to get out by then. Mountain.”
"Then...can you leave early? I'm still scared." Tang Hongsheng expressed his thoughts, "There are still bad people in this mountain, and I'm worried that I'll meet them on the road..."
"Okay. "Li Long thought about it and said, "Then you go to rest in the carriage. I'll call you when I leave."
If you accept someone's things, you can satisfy them even if they are not excessive.
In the afternoon when the sun was still a pole high, Li Long took out the remaining rice and meat from the house and carried it to the shed. Looking at Liu Shanmin lying there thinking about something, he said:
< br>"I'm going to collect the bag now. You can lie down here first. When someone comes, tell me that I'll be back in the evening. If there's no one, just have a good rest. I'll light the fire for you. There shouldn’t be any wolves coming at this time.”
"Okay." Liu Shanmin nodded.
Li Long put down the rice, went to get some firewood to light the fire, then locked the door and shook the tractor.
Tang Hongsheng was lying in the tractor bucket, unable to sleep, and did not dare to urge Li Long. At this time, he saw Li Long rocking the tractor with a gun on his back, and he immediately became happy.
“Let’s go now?”
“Let’s go now. Sit tight.”
"I'd better lie down in the car." Tang Hongsheng was still worried about being seen, so he lay down in the car. "It's quite dangerous to lie down here." Li Long reminded him. Seeing that he didn't come out, he ignored him and drove the tractor in a circle, heading east.
The ground was completely dry, and it was quite bumpy to drive the tractor on it, but Tang Hongsheng could persist. When he was searched by those two men for the first time, he felt that the strong man's eyes were just thinking about doing something to him.
He didn’t want to take any more risks, so he had to get out of the mountain quickly.
When the tractor drove to the ravine where Harimu and the others were, Li Long slowed down and said:
"This is the closest to the mountain and there is a road. Do you want to come down?"
Tang Hongsheng got up and took a look and found that there was indeed a road leading to the north. He thought about it and jumped out of the car. Come down and say to Li Long:
"Thank you!"
Then he ran north along the road.
Li Long looked at his back, and then continued to drive the tractor towards Xiaobaiyanggou.
In Xiaobaiyanggou, Lao Huang just started cooking, and everyone was making arrangements. It rained the day before yesterday, which delayed the day's work. We started working yesterday afternoon. Today, everyone wants to catch up with the progress.
Every time you weave one more piece of work, you will have four more dollars in your hand. This is real.
In more than a year, Li Long successfully established credibility and guarantee in the team. As long as he says how much money he will pay, he will definitely pay how much money he will give in the end.
Although the requirements are stricter, isn't it just to be able to get the mission in the future? Otherwise, no one can agree to this deal.
With two or three incomes a year, won’t the family have enough money left over?
After all, if farmers do not have these sideline incomes, they will have to wait until the summer and autumn harvests to sell grain before they have enough money. What do you do with money on a daily basis?
Now that Li Long gives two or three opportunities a year, he can earn a lot of money each time. This money is not only used by this family. Who on the team doesn’t have a family member or friend? If you have more money, you can take care of others.
At this time, the relationship between neighbors in the village team was actually very good. Even if there are one or two rivals, there won't be many.
It's not a life-and-death feud. At most, it's just pretending not to see it or turning a corner when they meet.
Many people laughed when they heard the chug of the tractor. Since Li Long didn't come yesterday, they were wondering if Li Long was doing something else. Even Sun Jiaqiang got out of a ravine in the south when he heard the churning sound of the tractor, and hurried over carrying a caladium bag still stained with grass.
Li Long drove the tractor to the edge of the pit, took out a bag from the seat bag and handed it to Lao Huang:
"Brother Huang, these are the wolf's offal I stewed today. I'll give them to you tonight. Cut it and try it."
"Okay. Are you going to hunt wolves?" Lao Huang was very happy. He communicated with Gu Boyuan before deciding to come here. When Gu Boyuan cooked last year, he basically cooked wild vegetables and picked mushrooms by himself. The main thing we provide is food.
This was actually the case in the past. The master chef was paid for his work, so he naturally had to look for ingredients in his free time. Otherwise, just the staple food would definitely make everyone have objections. As a result, after coming here, Li Long brought meat every now and then, which made him a much better master.
"Xiaolong, did you kill a wolf?" Li Jianguo asked immediately after hearing Li Long say that the wolf was a bastard.
"No, someone beat the wolf and gave me something to change." Li Long explained vaguely.
"Is there anyone with a gun in this mountain? Is it a blind flow?" Li Jianguo was a little worried.
"No, this man killed the wolf with a stick. But he was also injured, so I changed his medicine." Li Long explained, "It's okay, I mainly use caladiums recently. , didn’t even go hunting.”
Li Jianguo was reluctantly reassured and continued to make up stories.
Li Long took a glance and found that there were five, six or seven or eight people in front of each pit, which was more than last time.
When Li Long looked, Sun Jiaqiang had already come over with a bag. He walked up to Li Long and said with a smile:
"Boss Li, why didn't you come yesterday?"
"Yesterday ? Go back to the county. When it rained, everyone came to replace my things, so I went to the county to buy some more supplies.
"We all heard your tractor passing by here, and you didn't stop. My Fritillaria here weighs 17 or 18 kilograms. Come and weigh it for me."
"So many? Did you dig caladiums even when it rained yesterday?"
"Well, it's raining. Although it's hard to walk, the caladiums are easy to dig. With the rain, the caladiums have grown like crazy in the past two days. We must dig them as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to wait until next year for them to grow and bloom again. . ”
Li Long weighed the caladiums for Sun Jiaqiang. They were more than seventeen kilograms. Li Long counted eighteen kilograms for him, counted out fifty-four yuan and handed them to Sun Jiaqiang.
"Hey, that's really good." Sun Jiaqiang took the money and helped Li Long pour the fritillaries into the bag that Li Long brought over, then turned to look in the direction of Lao Huang:
"What you brought over was cooked offal?"
"Well, the wolf brought it over in the morning. I disemboweled it and cooked it in the morning. You need to add more seasoning to this thing, otherwise it won't taste good. .”
"It's good to eat some, but how can you care about so much?" Sun Jiaqiang couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Although the food has been good these past few days and there is meat every day, he has almost always been undernourished as he has grown so big. How can it be possible that the meat can be replenished in a few days? Even Li Jianguo's two little ones have had meat almost every day since last year. But if Li Long brought back beef bones and cooked them in a big pot, it would be very greedy.
The rice Lao Huang cooked today was made from corn flour. Since they all come with white flour, I specially steamed white flour steamed buns today, without adding corn flour, as a snack. In fact, it only takes one and a half steamed buns per person, and the stir-fried vegetables are mushrooms.
After it rained, there were a lot of straw mushrooms. Lao Huang went to the mountainside and got a basket of them just by pulling them out, so he fried half of them in a pot. This thing has enough water, absorbs oil, and is still delicious after frying.
Li Long put the fritillaries away and Xie Yundong also came over.
"Brother Yundong, how many have you compiled?" Li Long asked with a smile.
"I compiled eight from yesterday to today." Xie Yundong said with a bit of pride in his tone. In fact, once everyone gets involved in this activity, basically nothing happens. The people who came here this time were not as mischievous as Xu Jianjun. The people from the surrounding forestry team asked Li Long to take care of them again. There was no trouble and he felt much more relaxed.
"Okay, it's only more than thirty yuan." Li Long said with a smile, "Then let's take a look?"
"Okay, let's take a look at mine first. After that, If there are any unqualified ones, I still have time to reorganize them." Xie Yundong didn't take it seriously, so he let the news out first, so that if there are really unqualified ones later, it would be easier to explain.
After eight inspections, Li Long was very satisfied and they were all qualified. Two people lifted the handle and put it on the tractor. Li Long took out his notebook and wrote it down, then asked Xie Yundong to sign.
Next, before the meal was ready, Li Long went to look at those who were already making up the finishing touches and began to check the handles one by one.
Including Li Jianguo’s.
Even if it was just a pretense, Li Long checked very carefully. Of course, he would let it go. What surprised him was that every one of Li Jianguo's titles, in terms of grade, was It is a standard above good.
It can be said that the eldest brother pays more attention to maintaining Li Long's authority than Li Long himself.
After checking almost halfway, Lao Huang shouted that it was time to eat.
After checking Jia Weiguo's basket and loading it into the car, Li Long went to the stream to wash his hands, then took his own enamel basin and started to go there to prepare food.
Half the people had already started eating.
Li Long brought some offal, and divided a few pieces into each bowl, which put more smiles on everyone's faces.
This is better than what I eat at home, so I am very satisfied.
"Xiaolong, we will all enjoy this job for you." Lu Yingming took a hard bite of the steamed bun and said loudly.
Others are echoing.
Li Long prepared a meal and went to his eldest brother's place. Sun Jiaqiang made a seat for him and said with a smile:
"Boss Li, have you considered recruiting a younger brother? I feel that there is a bright future in working with you, so why not Just accept me as your subordinate?”
“Are you kidding me?” Li Long said with a smile, “You can earn even one season of Fritillaria. Are you someone who wants to be someone's younger brother when you come out with a color TV? "
"I'll do it as long as you accept it," Sun Jiaqiang said while eating chopsticks. "How great would it be for my little brother to be able to eat meat from time to time?"
After that, he leaned close to Li Long and said in a low voice:
"I saw a monster on a man this morning, a two-headed deer!"
"What? Did you see it too?" Li Long asked in surprise.
"What? Have you seen it before?"
"Is it a pretty big buck?" Li Long said.
"Yes! But when it saw me, it ran away and didn't catch up." Sun Jiaqiang was a little regretful, "In fact, I didn't dare to chase it. I was afraid of being a monster." (End of Chapter)
