There were too many things for Li Long to pull, so he could only divide them twice.
On the first trip, he directly put the fifty argali sheep into the water and put them into bags, otherwise the tractor bucket would not be able to fit them.
You can only put two sheep into the water in a bag, and then put them into bags and stack them up.
Fortunately, Li Long brought enough sacks, and thanks to the fact that every time he went to the sugar factory to collect sugar residue, he would be given more bags. After the sugar residue is poured out of these new sacks, it is very convenient to pack things.
This time the pile of sacks on the tractor was not as high as the sheep last time, but it was not low either. Li Long, Halimu and the others said hello and said they would come back to pick up the wolf in the afternoon, so they drove the tractor out of the mountain.
Although it is not as tall as the sheep last time, I am still more careful and slower when returning. The snow has filled up some of the potholes, making them invisible to the naked eye. If you really drive in by accident, you won't be able to find a shop or a place in front of you, and you won't be able to find someone to help you tow it.
Fortunately, there were signs of approaching traffic, so Li Long slowed down and drove along the same route until he reached Qingshui River, then he dared to step on the accelerator and drove towards the county.
Seeing that it was still early, he drove the tractor to the county wood factory first.
The woodwork factory has half an hour until the end of get off work, and the departments with less work have already begun to pack things.
When the tractor suddenly came in, He Changming was discussing the year-end benefits with the deputy factory director. Getting the sheep into the water is part of the process, and other things must be prepared as well.
However, it is considered a hard item to have a sheep in the water. Others can be paired with gloves, laundry detergent and the like.
While they were discussing, Li Long drove in suddenly with a tractor. He Changming was still a little confused. Qi Xinzhi over there had already recognized the tractor and hurriedly came out of the warehouse.
Li Long parked the tractor in the yard of the woodworking factory and came down to shake hands with Qi Xinzhi.
"Comrade Li Long, what are you..." Although Qi Xinzhi had already guessed it, he still asked.
“I discussed with your factory director yesterday about the matter of sheep in the water, so I’ll bring it here.” Li Long pointed to the car and said, “You haven’t gotten off work yet, have you?”
"No, no."
"Then call the factory director to inspect and unload the goods." Li Long was also anxious and had to make another trip in the afternoon.
He Changming had already walked out at this time and recognized Li Long. He did not expect that Li Long was so efficient.
Li Long shook hands with He Changming, then got on the side of the tractor, unloaded a sack first, and opened it for them to see.
“This is the whole sheep’s waste. The heart, liver, lungs, belly and intestines have all been washed. Adding oil, this plate... weighs almost seven kilograms.” Li Long took out a plate from it said.
He Changming naturally didn't know how to do it. Qi Xinzhi took it, held it in his hands, weighed it and said:
"Absolutely."
Looking at the frozen sewer, there is not much water in it, and the color is bright. , it must be new, He Changming nodded.
"Let's find a place. I'll unload the things. I'll keep the sacks and put other things in them." Li Long explained, "I have to go hunt the wolf in the afternoon, so time is tight."
"Okay." He Changming nodded, then looked at Qi Xinzhi.
Qi Xinzhi understood immediately, and immediately greeted a few times, and a group of young men and women came out from the workshop and office. They were all strong laborers and could unload these things very quickly.
The unloading place is in an empty warehouse, with a red brick floor and a temporary layer of wood shavings on the floor. It doesn't get dirty even if the sheep's waste is poured on it.
Plates of water were laid out, and He Changming lit them himself. After twenty plates of water were unloaded, and seeing that there were still more on Li Long's tractor, He Changming actually had the idea of asking Li Long to unload a few more plates.
However, Li Long didn't give him this chance. He put the sacks on the truck bed, asked He Changming to quickly write a receipt, and then drove the tractor away.
He Changming was a little regretful, but the twenty dishes were enough to divide the money.
Seeing those young men who were carrying the water looking at these things eagerly, He Changming waved his hands:
"Get ready to get off work first, don't be anxious! Our benefits before the year are not only this, but also other things, After the purchase is completed, we will send it to everyone!”
Although I have the intention to move the sheep back to the water now to add some oil and water to the family, but since the factory director has spoken, let’s wait.
However, it seems that this sheep is definitely going to be released. People in the factory are in a good mood, and they are much more energetic when working in the afternoon than in the morning.
When Li Long drove the tractor to the big yard, dinner was already served here.
Hearing the sound of the tractor, Han Fang was the first to run over and open the door, and then everyone else came out.
Seeing Li Long pulling half a tractor, the others were not surprised. During the meal, Gu Xiaoxia had already told Li Long about going into the mountains to pull sheep into the water and wolves.
Li Long often appears and disappears, and everyone is used to it. Now that she comes back at noon, Sister Yang has cooked more food and is not worried about not having enough food.
After getting off the tractor, Li Long went to change clothes, wash his hands and eat, and by the way, he talked about going into the mountains.
“You said you killed sixteen wolves in one night?” Gu Boyuan was also surprised when he heard this, “So many? Was anyone injured?”
"No, it's just that some old people and children were frightened." No one in the winter nest on the other side of the Yushan River expected to be attacked by a wolf, so that was the reason for such a situation. Fortunately, there was no danger in the end.
"It's really ferocious, sixteen wolves. If they appeared in the plains, the whole village would probably suffer disaster." Gu Boyuan sighed, "It's really hard for the herdsmen in the mountains!"
“That’s right, if wolves really come out in the plains, the militiamen We've already gathered for target shooting." Gu Xiaoxia, who was also a militia member, said while eating, "No matter how powerful this wolf is, he wouldn't dare to come to the village."
"That's true," Gu Boyuan thought. My imagination just now was a bit unreliable, so I smiled and continued eating.
"Uncle, is that wolf big?" Han Fang asked curiously.
"The first wolf is as big as a big cow." Li Long stretched out his hand and gestured, "The other wolves are as big as big dogs."
There were not many pet dogs at this time, and basically all that could be seen were They are all native dogs, Chinese pastoral dogs, and the smallest ones are a few times bigger than those little teddy bears and little bichon bears of later generations.
“That’s really big!” Han Fang exclaimed.
“This would be a beautiful specimen.” Gu Boyuan said.
"That's right, but it's too late. When I passed by, I had already skinned it and packed away everything in the chest."
Li Long said with admiration in his heart, there is really nothing to say about this friend in the mountains. After the wolf was beaten, the skin was skinned and the internal organs were taken care of.
What else can I say?
He didn't take a close look at the Wolf King, but he thought the wolf fangs should be pretty good, right?
After lunch, Gu Xiaoxia didn't let Li Long deliver it. Gu Boyuan originally wanted to stay in the yard to help, but Li Long didn't let him either.
The remaining thirty or so dishes of water were all in sacks. He carried the sacks and put them into the side room and coded them one by one. He would take these to Shicheng and sell them in two days.
Of course, it goes without saying that I have to keep some food at home.
Originally, Li Long asked Gu Boyuan to take a plate of water back home, but Gu Boyuan refused, saying that he would eat lunch and dinner in the courtyard, and it would be enough if there were small crucian carp there, so there was no need to take the water back.
After unloading the water, Li Long rested in the house for a while, then filled the tractor with oil and water and drove towards the mountains.
When Li Long arrived at the winter nest in the mountains, Harimu and the others had already had lunch, and Nathan and Susken were helping Harimu clear the grass in the pen that had been gnawed by cattle and sheep.
In winter, herdsmen would let their cattle and sheep out on sunny days to graze on the grass weighed down by the snow.
But these two days the wolves are more arrogant, so this matter is omitted. Anyway, there is a lot of grass in autumn, so feeding is the main thing.
Li Long’s tractor came over. Harimu and the others stopped what they were doing and went to help Li Long load the wolf skins and wolf meat into the truck. They also loaded the sheep heads and sheep hooves that they had unloaded two days ago. superior.
The sheep's head and sheep's hooves are delicious. In his previous life, Li Long was very fond of eating spicy sheep heads and sheep hooves when he was in his forties or fifties.
As for those words like "pouring", he is not used to it. It is better to clean the sheep head and hooves and fry them yourself. Clean, safe and tastes good.
Most of his cerebral hemorrhage was caused by food.
Of course, it is very troublesome to pack up. When tidying up a sheep's head, the hair is usually burned off without peeling off the skin, and then scalded with a red-hot iron rod or iron hook to remove all the hair roots, and then scraped.
The dirt in the sheep's head's nose needs to be boiled and washed away, a layer of skin needs to be peeled off the tongue, and so on.
Anyway, it was very troublesome to clean up. After all, it was hard to find a blowtorch at this time. Looking at the mountains of sheep heads and hooves, Li Long planned to go back to Wujiaohua Mall to buy a blowtorch.
Anyway, if we use a jeep, we have gasoline at home.
There won’t be many things before winter, and dad and brother can take care of it.
Pack it up, peel off the meat, cut the spicy skin, spicy sheep head and sheep hooves... Yeah.
Li Long wiped his saliva and pretended not to see the surprised eyes of the Harimu family. He first put the sheep's head and hooves in the bucket of the cart and put them together with the wolf skin. Next is the wolf meat.
As for the wolf heads, he didn’t let them go, they were all meat.
These days, there are very few people in rural areas who eat meat like Li Long and his family. Most people who eat meat mainly rely on the pigs they raise at home. Those who don’t raise pigs carefully calculated their family’s money before the new year, set aside money for farming after the new year, and then saved a few kilograms of meat.
So even if wolf meat doesn’t taste good, it’s still meat.
There is meat on the hooves of wolves and wolves. If there is meat, it is better than vegetables!
No matter how bad it tastes, how can it be worse than eating pickles every day? Li Long likes to eat pickles and can't get enough of them in his lifetime, but he doesn't eat them every day. If you cook two or three times a week, you still have to leave the meat aside and add more oil to make it delicious.
If he really had to take the pickles out of the jar, wash them and cut them, he wouldn't be able to take a few bites of the bland taste.
So if he really wanted to sell this wolf meat for one dollar per kilogram, someone would definitely be competing for it.
With the reform, land distribution, household production quotas, and land contracting, although the output of the land has not yet increased, it is still better than the previous two years.
So the price of meat has obviously increased. The price of a large piece of meat that originally cost sixty-seven yuan per dollar has increased to two yuan.
The price of mutton that originally cost one or two yuan per dollar has increased to one yuan or sixty-seven.

However, eggs have not increased. After all, every household raises a lot of chickens, and commercial chicken farms have also emerged.
So Li Long was not worried at all that these things could not be sold.
It’s far from a buyer’s market right now, and supplies are always in short supply, especially meat.
The meat supply in food factories requires meat tickets, and the supply is based on tickets. This can only mean one problem: there is not enough meat.
This is also the reason why the free market can thrive - if the planned materials are insufficient, the market must make up for them.
It’s the Chinese New Year, and Xi’er’s father is thinking about buying Xi’er a red-headed rope. For the next ten years, the Spring Festival Gala will always talk about dumplings. Who doesn’t want to give their family a good meal during the Chinese New Year?
If I can’t afford a good one, can’t I afford a cheap one that doesn’t require tickets?
Why are there so many "rush purchases?"
Isn't it just that there was not enough stuff in those years? Of course, this panic buying trend slowly disappeared in our country, and then moved to the north and west. After all, our country's ability to make things is still very strong. Forty years later, it will be said that no one in the world can match it.
After loading the wolf, wolf skin, wolf head, wolf hooves, and sheep head and sheep hooves, Li Long felt that he could not load any more things, and he should protest if he loaded the tractor again.
After entering the room and drinking a bowl of milk tea, Li Long talked about the furniture and asked Harimu to meet other people and told them to wait and the furniture would be brought after the new year.
Harimu nodded, and his wife smiled after hearing what Nathan translated.
She asked for a cabinet. The cabinet for cooking and storing things was old and the boards inside were about to break. She wanted a new one.
After drinking milk tea, Li Long drove the tractor back.
From the winter nest in Harimu to the time he left the mountain, Li Long never heard the howling of wolves again.
Is it really true?
Not necessarily, it's just that these wolves have become homeless dogs and can no longer be arrogant.
After leaving the mountain pass, when Li Long was driving back, he saw a group of yellow sheep running past the right side, in the gap between the tamarisk bushes to the east.
Get out of the car now, pick up the gun and chase after him. There is a high probability that he will be able to hit one or two of them.
However, Li Long did not get off the tractor and continued to drive away.
There is plenty of meat at home and there is no shortage of food, and he is tired now and doesn’t want to fight.
When the tractor arrived at Qingshui River, the dogs in Qingshuihe Village started barking.
Li Long’s tractor originally passed by here back and forth. At first, the dog barked quite fiercely, but then it gradually stopped barking and got used to it.
Now these dogs suddenly barked, and many dogs ran out of the yard, gathered in groups, and barked at the tractor.
This shout scared many people out of the house, carrying sticks and shovels to see what was going on.
It was a little strange when I saw Li Long driving a tractor and pulling a load of meat.
When someone looks carefully at those wolf heads, they will understand.
It turns out that dogs bark because of the smell of these wolves.
Someone shouted at Li Long:
"Did your wolf meat come from the mountains? Are they all wolves?"
"They are all." Li Longfang The speed is slow, it would be fine if I could sell a few here.
"Sell it?" Someone else saw Li Long slowing down and immediately followed him and asked.
"Sell, one kilogram." With nearly twenty wolves, weighing more than 800 kilograms, Li Long thought he could sell every bit he could.
When the man heard that it was one yuan per kilogram, he was a little excited.
"Huh? Isn't this Comrade Li Long?" A familiar voice rang.
Li Long looked at it and was happy.
Militia company commander Meng Hai had eaten chicken at their house.
Li Long parked the tractor on the side of the road and turned off the engine, got out of the car, shook hands with Meng Hai and said:
"Company Commander Meng, are you free?"
" I didn't have time before I took the militiamen to the countryside to finish the competition." Meng Hai pointed at Li Long with a smile. Wolf Meat on the tractor asked: "You just hunted them?"
"Yes, my friends in the mountains hunted them. During this time, the wolves in the mountains have become a disaster. They dare to attack the herdsmen in broad daylight, so I will give them to them." They brought some ammunition and set up an ambush the night before."
"Good guy, you can!" Meng Hai looked at so much wolf meat and exclaimed, "This is really a lot! Are there so many wolves in the mountains? There are quite a lot of howls during this period, and some are scattered on the south slope. Those who live with wolves don’t dare to come to the village even if they are not in a pack.”
"Well, if we really get to the village, I will become your target." Li Long joked, "The wolf is cunning."
Others also recognized Li Long, and others If you don't know someone, someone will explain that it's the person who collects brooms in Xia Tian.
"Comrade Li Long, you wolf... plan to sell it?"
"Yes, I plan to take it to Shicheng and sell it." Li Long said truthfully, "It's the Chinese New Year soon. , This wolf meat is not as delicious as beef and mutton meat, but it is still meat. We sell it cheaper. I think someone must buy it.”
"Okay, I'll help you shout." Meng Hai said immediately, "If Lao He isn't here, I'll go to his house and shout for you with a loudspeaker. You go to my house first and take a rest."
"No need." No need." Li Long looked at the sun, which was still a pole high. He thought it would take an hour to drive to the county, so it would be better to go back early.
"What are you anxious about? You have a tractor and a gun, what are you afraid of? In the worst case, I will take you back with the militia. Comrade Li Long, we usually don't see you when you enter the mountain, but now If I don’t stay here to entertain you after seeing this, Lao He will scold me when he comes back.”
Meng Hai held on to Li Long and Li Long couldn’t leave, so he had to drive the tractor. Went to Meng Hai’s house.
Meng Hai was afraid that Li Long would leave, so he accompanied Li Long in the yard. Then he called another militiaman to go to the village director's house and shouted several times on the loudspeaker.
Li Long thought that at most a few people would come to buy wolf meat. After all, wolf meat was not as delicious as beef and mutton. Qingshuihe Village is on the side of a mountain, and the militiamen have guns. In winter, it is not difficult to trap a rabbit and hunt a goat.
Who would have thought that just while drinking a bowl of tea, more than ten people would come to Meng Hai's yard, and more people would come over one after another.
Meng Hai was still chatting with Li Long, but he couldn't care less about it at this time. He asked his wife to find the scale and started selling meat on the spot.
“Big guy, the wolf that Comrade Li Long brought here was hunted in the past two days. Wolf meat is the same as dog meat. It is a great supplement in winter. Please be careful when eating it. This stuff is hot and is good. Something."
Meng Hai knew the goods and gave Li Long an advertisement first, and then said:
"Right now, it's hard to cut meat because it's frozen. Comrade Li Long is selling it cheaply. Everyone has heard that it costs one yuan per kilogram. So I want to tell you something. Let's buy a wolf together. It's easy to calculate. How will we divide it when we go back?" , How about adding it up yourself?”
When he said this, he forgot about Li Long. I only had two knives on hand, so it was quite troublesome to cut the wolf meat bit by bit.
When Meng Hai said this, others had no objections, and then they went to join the "small gang".
Li Long gave Meng Hai a thumbs up. (End of this chapter)
