After dinner, Li Long took the roe deer roe to the spring to start peeling. At this moment, the work has attracted a lot of bugs, and he is worried that if he doesn't do it, maggots will develop.
Liu Shanmin was sitting not far away, watching Li Long skinning the roe deer seeds with ease, and he suddenly asked:
"These roe deer seeds are not as delicious as sheep." "
"Game... Haha." Li Long shook his head, "Eat too much and run too much. The fiber is thick. When you are hungry and full of food outside, you are often frightened and eat messy things. The taste in the blood is strong. This roe deer roe is better. You will know if you try the wild boar meat. It’s normal to eat. ”
People at this time generally lacked meat, and it was good to eat some without paying much attention to it. In later generations, the scale of various poultry and livestock breeding expanded. In addition, due to the shrinking living environment, wild animals were hunted and their numbers continued to decrease. Then they became a good thing in the eyes of some rich people.
In fact, if heavy ingredients are not used, game meat will not taste good. Don't look at the old saying "The toad wants to eat swan meat". In fact, the fiber of swan meat is too thick and it doesn't feel good when you eat it.
It’s just because there are too few, so there are filters.
After saying this, Li Long realized that Liu Shanmin had also eaten roe deer roe meat. If he didn't eat it here, where would he have eaten it?
Without thinking much, he peeled off the skin and spread out the meat. According to the previous method, part of the meat was picked off and put on the stove, and part of it was made into air-dried meat. Braised the offal and so on, and prepared to send some to Xiaobaiyanggou in the afternoon.
Since I am making big money over there, I can’t lose money to others. Anyway, I can’t finish it here.
After doing all this, Li Long sat down to rest for a while and began to sort out the things.
There are two to three hundred people carrying the handles, and they are piled up in a big pile. Li Long is thinking about whether he should go down the mountain to the supply and marketing cooperative next time to talk to Li Xiangqian and get a truck to pull one car back. Otherwise, you will have to make several more trips.
But then I put this aside and waited for more, until I go down the mountain next time.
Liu Shanmin was right next to Li Long. He occasionally stepped forward to help, but was stopped by Li Long. The injured man was not a worker, so it was better to stay honest.
He suddenly spoke: "I think it would be better if you separate these handles."
"Why?" Li Long stopped and asked.
"This thing is too easy to light. You have to put it together. If there is a fire, it will burn out all at once. After all, it will occasionally leave."
Liu Shanmin's words He didn't finish speaking, but Li Long understood immediately.
There are many people in the mountains, dragons and snakes are mixed together, and there must be people who have malicious intentions towards me. Not only those two people, but other people who came to me to exchange things may not necessarily thank themselves, and they might secretly curse themselves as vampires when exchanging things.
It was fine when I was here, but when I wasn’t? If these piles are piled up together, it will be difficult to save them if they are set on fire.
Liu Shanmin's words serve as a reminder. He had been away for a long time, and if others really wanted to burn it, they could still light it by spreading the handles apart and stacking them. His words were a reminder to himself.
In this case, we have to go down the mountain as soon as possible and find someone to take this thing away. It seems that there is no need to pull the handle this way later. Just check it over at Xiaobaiyanggou and pile it up nearby. There are many people there, so at least you won’t worry about being burned by outsiders. Moreover, there are many people, they are supervising each other, and everyone wants to save face, so there won’t be any problems.
I pulled the handle over at that time, what a bad move!
Li Long smiled and said to Liu Shanmin:
"You are right, I will get rid of this bunch in the next two days."
Liu Shanmin smiled, said no more, and then found a suitable place to bask in the sun.
My life is so comfortable, I feel a bit reluctant to leave it.
Li Long divided the handles into three piles and piled them up, then turned to look at the dried caladiums.
When the sun was about to set, someone came over to deliver caladiums again, this time in exchange for money. Eleven kilograms of caladiums were a bit dirty. Li Long gave him thirty-two yuan, and made it clear that one yuan would be deducted because of the impurities. , the other party has no objection either.
Wash as usual, hang them to dry, then gather up the previous fritillaries, put them into the small room, and cook.
Li Long didn't waste the remaining rice with uncooked rice at noon. The crispy rice was indeed too dark to be eaten. Liu Shanmin was a little embarrassed and planned to soak the black crispy rice in water and eat it himself.
"Farewell, don't eat that thing, it's not bad at all." Li Long waved his hand and threw the black rice cake directly to the still tied roe deer.
The roe deer was not picky at all. He licked it and slowly started to chew it. Li Long cracked a few eggs, chopped some wild onions, and fried some uncooked rice. This was dinner for two people.
Since he didn't plan to pull the handle back, Li Long thought of going directly to Xiaobaiyanggou to check the handle before coming back after dinner. Unexpectedly, while they were still eating, six or seven people suddenly emerged from the mountains in the distance.
Li Long didn't stop for a moment, turned around and entered the house. When he came out, he already had a gun in his hand.
Needless to say, these blind people gathered together, and it goes without saying that they must have been premeditated and planned. Li Longcai didn't believe that they would form a group to send him warmth.
Liu Shanmin knew that he could not help, but he had no intention of watching. He stood up and put the bowl in the back room to avoid knocking it over.
After putting the bowl down, Liu Shanmin went to bring the stick over again and stood next to Li Long.
Li Long glanced at him and thought that even if this person couldn't help then, at least he had made this gesture.
Okay, I know how to be a good person.
Everyone in the group was holding a bag in their hands. Li Long glanced at it and could see that some weighed twenty-five or six kilograms, and some weighed more than ten kilograms.
In total, these people brought more than 100 kilograms of caladiums alone.
What are you planning to do? Forced to have an uterus?
When they were less than ten meters away from the wooden house, these originally aggressive people suddenly slowed down. You squeezed me and I pushed you, as if they didn’t want to step forward.
Coward!
Li Long really didn't think highly of these people.
If you have the ability to gather a crowd, don’t be a coward in front of a gun!
Then someone stood out from the crowd and stopped seven or eight meters away from Li Long. As soon as he left, other people behind him slowly crowded in, presumably intending to be this man's backing.
"Boss Li, we should have met. A few days ago I sold caladiums at your place, twelve kilograms, and I gave you thirty-six yuan. Do you still remember it?" The man three He is twelve or thirteen years old, his hair is a bit long, and his beard seems to have been shaved with some tool, and it is not very neat.
The accent sounds a bit like a southern province, but I’m not sure. His face is quite kind, and he always smiles when he talks. It is quite rare to be able to maintain a round face in this mountain.
His eyes are not big, but they are always shining. He is obviously not easy to deal with and can play people to death.
"I don't remember." Li Long didn't give face. Firstly, he really didn't remember much. Secondly, since this person gathered a crowd to negotiate with him, there was no need to be polite.
"Yes, Boss Li, it's normal for noble people to forget things a lot." The man didn't expect Li Long to choke when he spoke, but then he found a step for himself, with a faint smile, and said:
"The thing is like this. Some of our people went down the mountain and asked about it. The purchase price of Fritillaria at the foot of the mountain has increased a bit. I think Boss Li also knows this. This Fritillary season is also Come on, we are all sensible people. The price of Fritillaria this season is seven kilograms per kilogram. So we felt that the price given by Boss Li was a bit low, so we thought about raising the price. The more income here will give more publicity to Boss Li, and Boss Li, you can also collect more Fritillaria and sell them at a good price when you go out of the mountains. ”
"I gave it. If you clean up the Fritillaria, I will naturally increase the price." Li Long did not directly retaliate, but stated his principles, "The Fritillaria you sent is full of They are mud leaves, and some are mixed with stones. You let If I raise the price, then it must be worthy of this high price, right?"
He pointed to the washed and dried caladium and said:
"You don't think you sent the caladium here? , if I change hands, I can sell it for twice the price. Go? I have to pick out the garbage, dry it, and then put it together to sell it. You earn what you deserve, and I earn what I deserve. Is there anything wrong with that?”
“Nothing wrong.” There's nothing wrong with it." This person obviously doesn't want to be with Li either. Long Gangang, he said hurriedly:
"Our original intention is to make hard money. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that it happens to be the Fritillaria season, it would be okay for us to carry these Fritillaries down the mountain and sell them. ”
"Then you go ahead." Li Long doesn't care whether he is a soft nail or a hard nail. Following the lessons of Li Zheng's two cousins, Li Long is not worried at all about what they will lose by doing this.
In fact, not only the two cousins of Li Zheng went down the mountain to sell Fritillaria, but there were also others. But for Li Long, this is normal. It is impossible for him to monopolize the Fritillaria in the mountains. It is normal to earn more or less. It's just that he doesn't want to bow his head here. He feels that since he has established the rules, they cannot be broken easily.
Saving people is kindness, you can directly give medicines and things to others. But business is different. This is the principle of "a favor gives a horse, but a business does not spare a needle."
The man originally wanted to threaten Li Long secretly, but Li Long came back directly and froze him in the middle.
"Come out of the mountain when we get out of the mountain. Do you think we can't get out of the mountain?" Someone behind him couldn't listen to Li Long's words and lost his temper. "Boss Deng, we won't sell it here. It's still early. Let's just carry the Fritillaria and go out of the mountain. I Don’t you believe that the buying station won’t accept our Fritillaria? Even if it’s second- or third-grade, it’s better than being sucked out of blood here.”
Li Long smiled and said nothing.
As a result, the man named Deng was a little flustered and a little confused. He really doesn't plan to go out. Not to mention that you have to run at least thirty kilometers from the mountain to the county. Isn’t it tiring to carry so many things for thirty kilometers? It takes more than a day to go back and forth, so how many fritillaries have to be dug.
The loss is not small.
"Okay, let's go." Li Long didn't give him a chance and said, "Sell it wherever you can."
Mr. Deng hesitated, and finally stepped back into the crowd with his bag and began to discuss.
After a while, there was a quarrel, and two people came out of the crowd. They were carrying bags weighing about 20 kilograms. They walked up to Li Long and one of them said:
"Boss Li, I still plan to sell it to you, at your price."
"Me too." Another one said hurriedly.
"Okay, wait for me to get the scale." Li Long turned around and went into the house with the gun in hand.
The small gang collapsed. Boss Deng looked very bad, but there was nothing he could do. He actually had this idea quite early. There are many blind people in this mountain. If these people can be gathered together to listen to him, it will be much easier for him to do whatever he wants to do later.
According to his idea, he should discuss it with Li Long carefully, and be soft but tough. Besides, there are so many people, and even if he raises fifty cents, he will succeed. Prestige is established.
Unexpectedly, Li Long would not accept this move at all, and forcibly broke up the blind flow that he had spent a long time gathering together.
Li Long weighed two people, one weighed 24 kilograms and the other weighed 22 kilograms. Most of these two people wanted money, and a few wanted supplies. Li Long also gave each of them a piece of braised meat.
The two people were so happy that they quickly left here while chewing the meat.
The remaining people froze here and argued for a while. When the sun was about to set, the old man Deng led three people to bypass the wooden house and go to the back mountain. It seemed that they planned to go down the mountain to sell, and the other two were going to sell. Walked towards Li Long.
They finally decided to sell Fritillaria to Li Long. Judging from that expression, it must be due to the two pieces of braised pork. After all, once the lid is lifted, the smell of meat is still very strong and tempting.
Li Long didn't favor one or the other. Everyone was given a piece of meat. It wasn't big, but for Blind Liu, who ate dry food and wild vegetables every day, it was already extremely delicious.
The two men’s caladiums, one weighing 21 kilograms and the other 17 kilograms, were half materials and half money. After getting them, they hurried back to the mountains and forests. As soon as it gets dark, the wolf's range of activities becomes larger, so it's better to get to its den as soon as possible.
“I’ve taken on another big job for myself.” Li Long looked at the four bags of nearly 90 kilograms of caladium and sighed, feeling tired but happy at the same time.
These caladiums can bring me a net income of about 300 yuan, but they need to be washed out to remove impurities, which takes until dark.
“That’s also a happy job.” Liu Shanmin put the stick aside and went to get the basin with a smile.
Although he can't do heavy work, he can still pass things around and pick up a basin.
"You go ahead and eat your food, it's already cold." Li Long waved his hand, "That's it, it works very quickly."
There are too many caladiums and the wooden floor There was no room for drying on the table, so Li Long simply took a few handles, dried the washed caladiums on them, and poured them into the basin after dark.
After the work was done, the sunset had completely dissipated and it would be dark soon. Li Long planned to take a rest and not go to Xiaobaiyanggou today.
Liu Shanmin went to light the firewood himself and packed it up in the shed. He then led the roe deer into the shed.
The shed is quite big. It turns out that a few people from Yushanjiang built the shed to put more horses here. In the future, when the young people do some activities here, the horses will have a place to rest.
So apart from people, it is perfectly fine to put a roe deer in the shed. It's very spacious, and the roe deer is very normal. After being tied up, it went to the corner. It has recognized the fact and will not bark nonsense here, especially after hearing the howling of wolves in the distance.
Li Long saw that Liu Shanmin had handled the situation well, so he gathered the fritillaries away, locked the small door, and went back to the wooden house to sleep.
Early the next morning, Li Long was woken up by Bolati.
It was not yet completely bright, and Polati was very excited, and the sound of banging on the door was so loud that Li Long almost thought that something big had happened.
Hearing the voice of Bolati, Li Long lost his temper. He put on his clothes and opened the locked door. He saw Bolati at the door with three bags at his feet and his horse. While snoring, it seemed that he had some objections to coming out so early.
"Li Long, look, it's all Fritillaria! Let's exchange money!" Bolati was smiling and excited.
Three pockets, Li Long reacted immediately, it couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?
"Where did you collect fritillaries?" Li Long asked, "Where did you come from the mountain?"
"Yes! I went to a friend's house for a drink, and when I came out, I met three people. They should be planning to go down the mountain. I happened to be selling caladiums. How could I refuse such a thing? I just took the caladiums away!"
"Where's the man?" Li Long asked.
"If you take away the Fritillaria, I will let you go." Polati was very happy, "You can't do it too well. We have a meeting in the morning, so I ran over here first. You Hurry up and weigh the money. After the weighing, I have to go back to the meeting. "
Li Long also smiled, with a sarcastic smile. These people, well, what should I say? It can be considered bad luck.
For the three bags of caladiums, which totaled less than 60 kilograms, Li Long gave Bolati one hundred and eighty yuan. Eighteen sheets of unity were quite a thick pile. Polati spit on his fingers, counted them carefully, carefully put them into his inner pocket, put them away and buttoned them, patted them again, and said: < br>
"Li Long, I'm leaving. If something good like this happens again, I'll come find you again!"
The sound of horse hooves faded away, and Liu Shanmin woke up over there.
"How many people are there, right?" He looked at the several Fritillaria bags at the door and asked.
“It should be.”
"Why bother?" Liu Shanmin sighed, "It's good now, all the water in the bamboo basket is in vain."
Li Long shook his head, is this considered the end of his luck?
I don’t know how those three people are feeling now, but in any case, it has nothing to do with me.
He is getting breakfast out first, and after that he has to pack up these fritillaries.
Last night, Deng and the three of them found a crevice in the rocks in the outer mountain. Early this morning, the three of us got up and walked towards the mountain. Without the bag, digging for fritillaries later would still be a hassle.
"What the hell, it's all the fault of that guy surnamed Li!" Someone suddenly said, "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have run out of the mountain. If we didn't run out of the mountain, we wouldn't have met that tangled head, and we wouldn't have run into him. It’s too late to say anything like this!”
"The other person shook his head, "Let's think about how to get something to dig for the fritillary. I have to find someone to borrow a bag. Damn it, I've been arrested twice in less than half a month."
Boss Deng did not speak, but he was sure that this matter was not over yet!
I can’t handle the forestry team, so why can’t I handle you, Boss Li?
Hmph! Everything happened because of you, so try to take revenge! (End of chapter)
