"Xiaolong, how are you? Am I fast?" Xu Jianjun pointed to the reed handles on the donkey cart and said with a smile, "According to the standards you mentioned, twenty reeds, two and a half meters, and three wires are all fine. "
Li Long could tell at a glance that quite a few of the reed handles tied to the donkey cart looked weird.
He walked to the donkey cart and took a closer look. Next to him, Xu Jianjun hurriedly untied the rope tied with the reed handles and asked:
"How is it? Where to unload it?"
"Don't worry, you need to check the reed handle carefully." Li Long didn't want him to take it all off. It's not easy to put it back on after taking it off.
"Then you check." Xu Jianjun looked like he was not afraid of inspection.
"Take them to my front yard first." Li Long said, "It is inconvenient for my eldest brother to have these things in the yard."
The sun has not yet set, and Li Jianguo and the others are still smoking reeds. Tie reed handle.
Xu Jianjun led the donkey cart and followed Li Long, and said as he walked:
"Xiaolong, let me tell you, you still need the support of everyone in our team for your job. Otherwise If so, you may not be able to complete this job.”
"We are not the only place with reeds." Li Long heard what Xu Jianjun wanted to express, "I really have to rely on everyone to complete my job, but our team is not the only place where reeds are produced. If I don't want to do it, If someone else takes over the job, it’s hard to say whether it will fall into our team.”
Xu Jianjun also understood what Li Long meant and chuckled.
He didn't dare to refute, naturally he didn't want to lose this job. If you just rely on this job every winter, you can earn a year's salary of an apprentice, and I won't do it with spoons!
The donkey cart pulled into Li Long’s yard. The snow in the yard had been cleared. Li Long waited for Xu Jianjun to park the donkey cart and said directly:
“Jianjun, you are The reed handles are somewhat unqualified. Do you think you should remove them all and let me check them one by one, or should you take them from the car and let me look at them below?”
"Unload it all." Xu Jianjun planned to have a good argument with Li Long. Therefore, he feels that he should be able to win by then, so even if there are some who are unqualified, there should not be many.
Untie the donkey's bridle, lift the shaft of the donkey cart, and all the reed handles roll down.
Li Long stepped forward and started to pick it up.
He could tell at a glance that Xu Jianjun had used big reeds to wrap up the original ten reeds.
This is also a method, which shows that Xu Jianjun is still a little clever.
It's just that the ten reeds are not thin. Thick reeds can wrap them, but thin reeds can't. Li Long only picked out the ones that were well wrapped, the same length, and tied with thin wires in similar positions.
The donkey cart brought by Xu Jianjun had seventy or eighty reed handles. It took Li Long more than ten minutes to pick out the qualified ones, less than one-third, about twenty.
"These are qualified, take the rest back. Let me tell you, you can just remove the small reeds and thin iron wires inside and tie them again——"
"Xiaolong , you are wrong. I did this exactly according to your request. Do you have three wires? Do you have twenty reeds? "
Li Long was very happy.
This guy actually negotiated standards with himself here.
Isn’t it easy to be such a cunning person these days?
He waved his hand and said:
"Jianjun, I am telling you so calmly now. I also know that you tied the reed in advance, but the standard has changed. You are not good. Do it.
But there is nothing I can do about it. This is the standard given above. There is no point in trying to take advantage of it or saying who is responsible. You can only minimize the loss as soon as possible.
The method I give you is the best I can think of. Of course, you can also think of other methods. Don't waste your time here, get these things away. I accepted the ones that qualified. "
"No, either you take them all together, or I take them all away! "Xu Jianjun felt that he had been refuted by Li Long and started to quarrel.
"Then you can take them all away. "Li Long is also angry and threatens me? You really don't know the big and small kings?!
Xu Jianjun himself was angry, but he didn't expect that Li Long's words hit the wall and there was no way out.
Actually, he could just say soft words at this time, but Xu Jianjun always felt that Li Long was like this because of his bad luck, so he couldn't stand it
Now that he was being scolded by Li Long, he was really angry. He lowered his head and picked up all the reed handles and piled them on the donkey cart. When he was pulling the donkey cart away, he said to Li Long:
" Li Long, let me tell you, with your attitude, it’s no wonder you can’t collect enough reeds this year!”
He pulled the donkey cart and left.
The momentum is very strong. Unfortunately, the reed handle was not properly placed on the donkey cart. Xu Jianjun also forgot to tie the rope. As a result, the reed handle fell off from time to time, which made him very embarrassed. It was not difficult to pick it up. Neither is picking it up.
Li Long shook his head. He really didn't feel at ease with threats like this.
Anyone who listens to him is a fool.
It has only been a few days since Zhang Qiang’s incident. Do you really think others have no brains?
Sure enough, not long after Xu Jianjun left, someone came over to deliver reeds.
Same operation as Xu Jianjun, Li Long also used the same persuasion.
This time this person was more obedient and took back the unqualified ones.
Is there a ball for setting the gas? It’s the right thing to exchange the reeds into money as soon as possible!
On the first day, Li Long received more than 500 qualified reed handles. He loaded them on the tractor, tied the ropes and returned to the county compound.
It was not completely dark when we arrived in the courtyard. Gu Xiaoxia had just gotten off work and was setting up the stove. In winter, the furnace goes out faster. Li Long parked the tractor and went to help.
They are used to having dinner, but the dinner is not too rich.
“Have you had any reaction today?” Li Long asked while setting up the stove, “It’s almost the end of the year, will you be too busy?”
"It's okay, I'm not very busy. People at my workplace don't know I'm pregnant yet, so work is going on as usual.
But there's nothing too busy right now. There's a lot of paperwork. After all, it's winter. "We don't have many cars, so it's hard to go far away."
Gu Xiaoxia said softly while watching Li Long busy. She always feels that she is happy. When Gu Xiaoxia usually hears her colleagues complaining that her husband doesn't talk to her, makes little money, doesn't do housework, etc., she laughs when she thinks about Li Long.
Over time, colleagues all know that Gu Xiaoxia’s husband can make money and do housework together. Although there is no official establishment, he is also a celebrity in the autonomous region.
With a husband like this, what higher request could there be?
No more.
Li Long set up the stove and began to boil water. The advantage of having a double stove is that you can cook porridge and stir-fry at the same time. As for the stove in the house, that one can make steamed buns.
“I have an idea,” Li Long said while cooking. “The fire wall of our stove inside is. When the stove is not installed in the spring next year, we can remove a piece in the middle and put an oven in it. This way you can bake something inside in the winter."
"Okay." Gu Xiaoxia likes to discuss these life-changing things with Li Long, which shows that both of them are working to improve the quality of life at home. Working hard.
After dinner, we watched TV and talked about each other's daily life.
Gu Xiaoxia is very satisfied, this is much better than Xia Tian. Li Long spent half of the summer in the mountains. At that time, he was alone and had no one to talk to at night.
In the next few days, as usual, Li Long went to the team to pull reeds during the day and came back at night.
Within a few days, more than two thousand reeds were piled in the yard, but Li Long clearly felt that the number of reeds delivered was less than last year.
In other words, the daily average is less.
Does Xu Jianjun really have that ability to prevent some people from sending reeds to him?
Unlikely?
When he still wanted to inquire, Li Jianguo told him.
“There have been several fires in the team in the past two days. The reeds of two families were burned, and the reeds of two other houses were put out when they were on fire.”
< br>"What? Four weeds caught fire? Isn't this a coincidence?" Li Long immediately thought of Xu Jianjun.
"That's right. You can tell from just one look that some people want to cause harm." Li Jianguo said, "These days, people look at Wei Zi at night, and they lose energy when working during the day.
< br>
Besides, it's getting colder and colder now. It's much later than last year to tie up the reeds, and the work has to be done outside, so the speed is naturally slower. ”
Li Long nodded, this is the only way things can be.
Fortunately, Li Xiangqian gave a time limit of thirty days. He only hoped that everyone would be faster later.< br>
Of course, the thief who set the fire had better be caught, otherwise there will always be hidden dangers behind him.
"What about our Wei Zi? "Li Long asked.
"Your sister-in-law and I," Li Jianguo said, "We made some things outside Weizi, and then we got up from time to time to look at it at night. It would be unbearable to watch it all night."
It is indeed unbearable. Two days is fine, but it will take at least ten days to tie the reeds from the elder brother's house into a reed handle. I will definitely not be able to hold on for ten days.
Li Long felt that if it were Xu Jianjun, he would probably have some Wei Zi from his eldest brother’s house. After all, if you take revenge, you will only get revenge on the main target in the end.
Li Long had to drag the reeds to the county every day. If he couldn't control them, he would have to target Li Jianguo.
He told Li Jianguo his analysis. Li Jianguo thought about it and said:
"If it's really him, it'll be easy to handle. You don't have to worry about it. I'll find a solution for this matter!" At this time, the role of the veteran of the team was revealed.
Li Long thought about it, he was still far behind.
Most of my ability to make money and my current achievements in the past two years are due to my own "prophet", and a small part is due to my own efforts.
The eldest brother was able to achieve this step, but it was all due to his own efforts.
Not the same.
Li Long collected reeds every day as usual, even if there were a little less, he was not in a hurry. After all, he couldn't have eight hands to help people tie reeds for this kind of thing.
The work of tying reed handles is the same as the work of tying large brooms. It requires special tools.
Tools for tying large brooms are relatively common, but tools for tying reed handles are relatively rare.
After all, Splendens splendens grows in a very wide range, and it is common for people in the countryside to use splendens splendens large brooms.
But there are relatively few places where reeds grow in large areas.
That's the difference.
He can go to Qingshuihezi Village to find someone to tie the big brooms, but he may not be able to find other places to tie the reeds.
It's not impossible, but Li Long still wanted to leave the job to the team for a while.
After all, the team members are indeed working hard, and there is no one like Zhang Qiang standing in the way.
And Zhang Qiang now goes to Shicheng every day to sell brooms, almost rain or shine.
Li Long suspected that this guy must have made money, so he was so persistent. He had tricked him and then tricked him into the right path?
Three days later, when Li Long drove his tractor to his eldest brother's house in the morning, Li Jianguo smiled and said to him:
"Caught it! It's Xu Jianjun!"< br>
"Caught him? He didn't order the reeds again, right?" Li Long didn't expect it to be this guy.
"No, he just wanted to light up our family's reed seeds, and then he asked me and my dad to hold him down. A lighter and a gasoline bottle were found on his body. He also argued that he asked me to beat him up and send him to the team headquarters last night."< br>
“Hey, now those people who burned Weizi won’t ask him for compensation?”
“Sure. "Li Jianguo said: "Someone came to his house early this morning. His wife said that he was in charge of the money. Xu Jianjun ran away from the team headquarters in the middle of the night. Captain Xu Chengjun said that he was responsible for collecting the losses from those people. "
Now Xu Jianjun may have to lose all the money he made this year.
It’s really your own fault.
Li Long didn't pay much attention to this matter. Xu Jianjun didn't work hard from the beginning when he started working with him, and he always wanted to make money.
Even if such people don’t fail here this time, they will fail elsewhere in the future.
There were several similar people in the team in the previous life. He is clever but not broad-minded. He always thinks that other people's good fortune is due to luck, and he is just unlucky and has not benefited from it.
Because the Fourth Team has a lot of land, after the country carried out land irrigation project renovation, most of the families made money by taking advantage of the high prices of crops in those one or two years, and then became all kinds of crazy, and finally lost several companies.
Human nature is like this, unless you can realize it and intentionally change it, it will be inevitable.
In the next few days, everyone tied the reeds faster. Firstly, it avoided the worry of fire. Secondly, Li Long also made it clear that there were only so many tasks and collecting enough would not be enough.
It turns out that no one is in a hurry, thinking that there will be a lot of money this year. Now that I say this, some people are naturally anxious. After all, the more you tie, the more money you will make.
Or to put it conversely, if others prick a few more people and make money, you will make less money.
In fifteen days, Li Long collected more than 7,000 reeds, which was a bit small.
He felt that if he continued at this rate, the 20,000 reed handles a month might not be enough.
Then someone unexpected came to him.
He doesn’t know him either.
"Li Long, right? My name is Wang Delong, from Xiahai Village." The person who came here is not tall, even slightly shorter than Li Jianguo. His accent sounds like he is from Hunan and Hubei, "I heard I told you to collect the reeds and I’ll send some over. Can you see if it’s okay?”
Xiahai Village is the village to the north of Dahaizi.
Reeds are also produced there, but the production is not as large as that of Team Four.
Li Long looked at the tall reed handles piled on the carriage led by this man, and asked a little strangely:
"How did you know that I collect reed handles here?"
"Someone on our team has married into your team. It sounds easy." Wang Delong also didn't hide it. Hiding it, he said with a smile, "How about it? Do you want to take it? The reeds I beat are too cheap to sell to the paper mill, so I just want to make more money."
"How many do you have?"
“Three thousand!” Wang Delong said, “We have been stabbing for a long time.”
"My standards are not low." Li Long said, "I can accept it, but I won't accept those who are not up to standard."
"No problem." Wang Delong was really happy when he heard that Li Long was going to accept it.
After unloading the reed handles, Li Long inspected them one by one. The quality of these reed handles was not high. Out of more than 3,000 reed handles, more than 2,300 were qualified, and the rest were unqualified. .
Li Long did not hide anything and told all the reasons for his failure. This will make it easier for Wang Delong to make changes when he goes back.
Wang Delong collected the money, tied the remaining reed handles to the car and drove away. Walking away with a smile on his face.
Making more than a thousand yuan from these reeds is really much better than selling them to paper mills.
Li Long accepted Wang Delong's reed, which immediately made some people in the village unable to sit still.
Some people are stringing reeds seriously, but some people feel cold and hide in the house to rest.
After all, in their opinion, Li Long should be the one who is anxious, not them.
They are just like the cold horn birds, saying that the weather will be warmer before pricking, but it is only the beginning of winter now, and it will only get colder in the future. How can it get hotter?
The fourth team has more money than the other teams and will live a more comfortable life.
But those who don’t seek advancement think this is fine.
Without big pursuits and lack of motivation, naturally you will not be too eager to make money.
In their opinion, the reeds in everyone’s yard are all dead anyway, that’s all. While others are tying the reeds quickly, the remaining tasks still have to fall on you after the reeds are pierced.
With two piles of reeds burned this year, Li Long’s task of producing 20,000 reed handles was a bit tense.
Speaking of which, either Li Long will raise the price, or those who still want to make money after tying will have to buy reeds from them.
I am lazy and my abacus is very good.
However, the appearance of Wang Delong immediately stunned them.
There is also Wei Zi in the outside team!
And three thousand blows were delivered at one time. Who knows how many will be delivered next time?
They were so anxious that they tied the reeds quickly.
Otherwise, the man surnamed Wang must send reeds twice more. Those of them who are slow to tie the reeds at home will be wasted.
Some people were anxious and quickly tied reeds, while others were anxious and ran to Li Long, hoping that he would stop accepting reeds from outsiders.
"Xiaolong, you are from the fourth team. If you have a job, you must stick to the fourth team first. This takes Weizi from outsiders and makes money for people outside. People in our team should have I have an opinion and said that you turned your elbows outward!"
Li Long laughed after hearing this.
"My mission will be completed in less than ten days. Now the number of reeds sent to our team every day is getting smaller and smaller. If I fail to complete the mission, will the team be fined by the above? Pay it for me?”
The man shut up at that time.
What the hell, you just want others to think about you, but have you ever thought about others? (End of this chapter)
