What Meng Hai brought to Li Long was the peeled pike caught in the afternoon.
After peeling it off, it weighed three to four kilograms—I don’t know how to catch it.
"I saw that you liked it very much when you ate it," Meng Hai said with a smile, "I went to catch you in the afternoon. I thought you would definitely come back, so I happened to meet you."
Li Long took the basin, looked at it, and said with a smile:
"Then I'm going to live in the mountains, why don't you just wait for the time? Thank you, take this back and I'll stew it for my wife. She's pregnant and has been eating better recently."
"Pregnant? Congratulations!" Meng Hai said with a smile, "Then you have to go back quickly."
Li Long put the fish basin in the trunk, waved to Meng Hai, got in the car and drove away.
The fish is still fresh, and although it's not particularly hot now, it certainly shouldn't be left out for too long.
When driving the jeep back to the big yard, the sun hadn't completely set yet, and Li Long felt quite proud.
This car is fast!
Sister Yang was cooking, and Li Long hurriedly took down the basin and entered the kitchen.
"Hey, so many little pups and fishes - hey, they're not little!"
"Can we make the fish stew in time?" Li Long asked.
"Yes, but you can't finish the stew?" Sister Yang wiped her hands on her apron, took the basin and looked at it, and said:
"Stew some first, then fry the rest."
"Okay." Li Long nodded with satisfaction and left the kitchen.
The puppy kept circling around him. Li Long originally thought about giving it a fish to see if it would eat it, but then he thought about it and stopped pinning it.
He went back to the kitchen, got a piece of steamed bun, came out and sat on the steps of the wing, and started playing with the dog.
A good dog must be tamed, and all animals should be smaller and easier to tame.
Seeing Li Long holding the steamed buns, the puppy immediately came over.
Li Long began to "tame" dogs by following the actions of later generations.
When the little black dog was still confused and didn't know anything, Li Long just gestured and fiddled with it, just for fun anyway.
When Gu Boyuan entered the yard, he saw Li Long feeding the puppy with steamed buns, and two young roe deer were enjoying the fun nearby, and he was a little dissatisfied:
"How can you feed steamed buns to dogs? How wasteful is that?"
"Hey, Uncle Gu, don't look down on this dog. Maybe he will grow up in a while and be able to chase a wild boar back into the mountains."
"Forget it." Gu Boyuan shook his head, "Hunting with a dog? This thing requires practice, right? How can it be that easy?"
Li Long just laughed and didn't answer. Anyway, it’s just for fun, we’ll talk about the rest later.
Dinner was originally simple porridge, steamed buns, and stir-fried vegetables. Li Long brought back the peeled pike, which made the meal more delicious. As expected, Gu Xiaoxia really liked eating small fish - better than eating stewed small crucian carp.
After all, the fish meat of this puppy is tender and has only one thorn, no fine thorns, so it does not require special attention.
Sister Yang's stew was very bad. She put the whole fish into her mouth, and then gently pulled the fish tail thorn without using too much force. When she pulled it out, there was no meat on the whole thorn.
So delicious!
My stomach is full after eating and I don’t want to move anymore.
After eating and cleaning up, Sister Yang started frying fish again, and the whole yard was filled with fragrance.
At this time, Li Long felt as if there was space in his stomach again and ate a few more fried fish.
The pike is wrapped in noodles and fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Although the spines are still there, it does not affect the taste. Neither Gu Xiaoxia nor Li Long like to eat the kind that is too crispy. Although they don't care about the thorns and just chew them, they feel that the fish taste is weak.
It's good to eat like this.
As a snack.
The next morning, Li Long went back to the team after dinner and told Li Jianguo about the matter.
Li Jianguo didn't expect the news to arrive so soon. He must have planned to follow him this year. In fact, Xie Yundong had already contacted him.
In the past few days, Xie Yundong has searched for all the original ten people, including chef Lao Huang.
Almost all of these people are willing to go into the mountains again to make a fortune - the Tao family is different. This time Tao Jian cannot go, but Tao Daqiang.
His child is almost half a year old and has lived at his grandma's house for nearly half of the time. At present, a row of houses has been built to the east of the Tao family's yard, which were only built in spring. When Li Long was helping Harimu and the others bury water pipes in the mountains, they had already opened the lid.
At that time, Tao Daqiang did not ask outsiders for the work of rolling out soil and making wood, and did it together with his brother-in-law Yang Yong. I just called the people in the team when tying the beams on the wall, and bought half a sheep at that time.
Once upon a time, the Tao family couldn't afford meat during the Chinese New Year. Now, even if they build a small house, they can get half a sheep to treat everyone to meat.
Tao Jianshe called people to come over to help, and they were all well-connected people, like Yang Hua, Xie Yundong, the three brothers from the Liang family, and his brother Tao Dayong. Li Jianguo must be called. The main purpose of calling him is not to do work, but to provide guidance.
Once the house is built, it only takes a day or two to plaster the walls and stuff inside.
I had already prepared some furniture in the winter, so I waited for the walls to dry, set up the stove to dry it, and then moved it in.
This means that he and Tao Jianshe are not separated, but when Tao Daqiang is away, his wife and children are in the east room, so that he can avoid suspicion.
So this time it was Tao Daqiang who was in charge of editing.
In addition to Tao Daqiang, Li Jianguo, Lu Yingming, Jia Weidong and others also went there last year.
As for who Xu Haijun summoned, Li Long didn't want to care.
After Li Long told Li Jianguo, he drove a jeep to find Xie Yundong.
On Li Jianguo's side, Liang Yuemei had known for a long time that Li Jianguo was planning to go into the mountains to help. Last year I earned nearly a thousand yuan from doing some editing. It was such a good thing, and she would definitely not stop it.
So Li Jianguo was packing things, and she was helping.
Li Qingxia looked a little envious from the side, and then asked Li Jianguo:
"Boss, do you think I can follow you? Although I can't make it up, I can learn it?"
"Forget it!" Before Li Jianguo spoke, Du Chunfang spoke up, "The boss will be gone for a month, how can you stay there? Besides, who are you going to study with? With the old university, it won't delay the boss's earning money. ? Learn from Xiaolong? Xiaolong has to take care of other things. Do you have time to take care of you? ”
Du Chunfang rarely spoke so much, which surprised Li Qingxia.
But what his wife said made sense, so he smiled and said, "I'm just talking."
"Why don't you go fishing when you have time? It will help the family eat some fish and make some money." Du Chunfang's voice became softer.
In the following period, there was not much life in the fields, and only two pigs were left. Even the old sows were sold. Li Jianguo, a professional pig farmer, was wrong.
So Liang Yuemei can manage it alone.
As for the vegetable plot, Du Chunfang and Li Qingxia can help out, so they are busy.
When Li Jianguo was preparing things, he also said something to Lu Yingming who was opposite him.
Lu Yingming is actually almost ready. What he needs to do now is to get the bedding ready.
Sister Lu took care of the bedding, so he came over and asked Li Jianguo:
"Lao Li, do you think Xiaolong will take us over first this year?"
If you go there first, you can create a few more leaders, and Lu Yingming already knows that Xu Haijun will bring a few young people there this year.
Those young people have to go there first, and I don’t know if they will occupy their land, so if I can’t afford any disputes, it’s better to go there as soon as possible.
"When Xiaolong comes over, I'll ask him if he can enter the mountain in the past two days."
Li Jianguo naturally understood Lu Yingming's thoughts, and he agreed with this idea.
After Li Long went to tell Xie Yundong about the matter, he went to inform Xu Haijun.
After Xie Yundong waited for Li Long to go out, he immediately got on his bicycle and informed others one by one that he had to prepare himself and give others time to prepare. He has even thought about it, just two days, and he will set off in two days.
Xu Haijun was sorting wood in the yard. He planned to build a house after he finished weaving the wood.
He was capable of some chores, but not outstanding. But Li Long promised to give him additional money as a manager, which allowed Xu Haijun to find a place to realize his own value.
So he was quite concerned about this matter. As soon as Li Long said this, he immediately put down what he was doing and went to inform others.
Because there were more tractors in the team, the pick-up and drop-off tasks were left to the Tao family and the Liang family. This was what Xie Yundong had agreed upon. Tao Jianshe and Liang Shuangcheng would drive the tractor to see the person off, and they would come back after delivering the goods. Xie Yundong took the initiative to tell Xu Haijun about this matter, meaning that the people Xu Haijun was looking for would also come with him. Anyway, two tractors could fit in it.
As for the freight, Xie Yundong meant that he would pay ten yuan from his "management fee" and give five yuan each side.
Although five yuan is just a small amount of money, it is actually quite a lot. It is equivalent to more than two days of wages for a worker.
He doesn't have as much money as Li Long, so he can't be so generous.
After Li Long informed the team, he returned to Li's house.
He and Li Jianguo thought of going together, thinking that if they wanted to go there in advance, they would drive them there in a jeep.
After all, Jeeps are fast.
When Li Jianguo saw the jeep coming, he put aside the bedding he was putting together.
It turns out that when he was the chief of staff in the corps, he also had to do backpack training. He still remembered three horizontal and two vertical ones.
Li Long got off the jeep, and before he could ask, Li Jianguo asked:
"Xiaolong, do you have time tomorrow? If you have time, send us to the mountains."
"I came here just to ask you." Li Long smiled, "Then I'll come over early tomorrow morning?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Okay." Li Jianguo nodded, "Do you still have to inform Juan's uncle?"
"Well, I need to inform him as soon as possible. I don't know how the people he gathered over there are doing. I think if it doesn't work, I will put them in a ditch near you. Then I will eat with you."
"Okay, I have to talk to Lao Huang about this... I'll go talk to him. Anyway, he can also make a big pot of rice, fifteen or twenty, about the same."
Li Long also offered four yuan each to the people in the team. The price he told Liang Wenyu was five yuan, so he had to go over and talk to him to see how much he told others.
Li Long drove a jeep to Liang's house. Liang Wenyu was very happy when she saw him. He couldn't wait.
"The mission is here, you can go. By the way, did you give you guys a fair amount of money?" Li Long asked.
"I didn't say anything. I just said there was this job and the price you gave me last year was four yuan." Liang Wenyu said.
"Okay, that's four yuan." Li Long smiled, "The remaining one yuan is yours, don't let it slip."
"Okay." Liang Wenyu said, "Then I will go into the mountain tomorrow?"
"Can you pack it up in time?" Li Long was a little surprised. "You inform them that they are not allowed to tell their families before packing up their things? By the way, I forgot to tell you. If you five or six people can't afford to cook, I'll give it to you." My elder brother said, let you eat with them. In this way, you will not be far away from them when you go.”
There are many ditches near Xiaobaiyang Valley, such as Dabaiyang Valley, Yushu Valley, Qishishigou and so on.
There are many shrubs and willow trees that can produce slivers, so there are many places to choose from.
"If you can make it in time! It would be best if there is a place to eat." Liang Wenyu smiled, "We are also thinking of several people taking turns cooking, and then we need to bring more dry food. There is a place to eat, so we have to bring food."< br>
"Not only bring food, but also give money to the master." Li Long added, "You need to give the master two cents to make a piece of work."
"That's no problem!" It's four yuan to weave a bag and give the master two cents. It's very cheap.
Xu Haijun didn't need Li Long to talk to him. He could ask Xie Yundong to find out what he should pay attention to. Liang Wenyu's side was different, so Li Long told them one by one.
The main thing I talked about last time was intention. Liang Wenyu also made full preparations under his father's prompts, but this was different.
Li Long gave instructions on digging a nest in the ground, protecting it from moisture and insects, and bringing cooling oil and red tofu.
Liang Wenyu had already prepared some things, and some things he hadn't expected, so he quickly wrote them down and told others.
"In that case, you may not be able to leave tomorrow, it will have to be the day after tomorrow." Liang Wenyu thought about it. If he wanted to take people away, he would have to drive his own tractor, and Liang Donglou would drive it back.
As for where to go, Li Long has already agreed and he will make arrangements when the time comes. But you have to go there early, after all, you have to dig out the hole in the ground that day, otherwise it will be troublesome to have no place to stay at night.
Li Jianguo and the others are the most convenient. They have the old nest and they just need to renovate it.
He told Liang Wenyu everything he needed to say, including reiterating the quality issue and asking him to pay close attention to it. Then he said goodbye to Liang Donglou and Chen Xiuzhu and went back.
After lunch, Li Long went to the department store, Wujiaohua Shopping Mall, and the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a lot of things.
Tomorrow I will send Li Jianguo and the others to the mountains, and they also have to visit Harimu. They are about to transfer.
The husbandry team will provide part of the food needed for the transition, and Li Long's focus is to bring them other things.
For example, batteries, sugar, salt, tea, bullets, etc.
In addition, he will also gradually add some things to the wooden house. When he went to set the net yesterday, he saw some caladiums growing near the stream, which meant that the caladiums were ready to be dug. Those who came to dig for medicine should be entering the mountains soon.
I wonder how many of the people I met last year will be met this year?
The main supplies in the wooden house are food, salt, shoes and other things. Some of these overlap with the things given to Harimu and the others - the animal husbandry team will not give shoes to Harimu and the others. This is quite important.
As for whether he can get caladium from herbal collectors, Li Long is not sure this year. This is different from making a fool of yourself. After all, that one is stable, while this one can only depend on luck.
The next day, when Li Long came to the yard of Li Jianguo, the eldest brother of the fourth team, while chewing fried small fish, he found that his father and brother were collecting nets, while his sister-in-law and mother were collecting fish.
I think my dad went to Xiaohaizi yesterday to set up the net. Today's harvest was pretty good.
It looked like there were only three Internet cafes, and the fish in the basins weighed at least twenty kilograms.
There were not many big fish, there were only six in total, one carp, one grass carp, one black carp, two silver carp and one silver carp.
The biggest one was the silver carp, which looked like three or four kilograms, and the others were all one or two kilograms.
The rest are all crucian carp.
Seeing Li Long arrive, Li Jianguo picked up the last bit of netting, washed his hands, and began to move his things to the car.
Seeing that his eldest brother kept a lot of things, Li Long suddenly thought of the big rucksacks issued to soldiers in the army in later generations.
If you can sort out that thing, one person can easily carry these things away.
But that thing looks simple, but it's actually more difficult to come up with. After all, that backpack is not just cloth, but also a lightweight metal tube. That thing needs to be strong and light.
If you just sew a large backpack with cloth, it will not be comfortable to carry.
So he just thought about it. It would be fine to get a backpack that is half the size of the bag. You can stuff the bedding and stuff in it, and carry the rest in a handbag.
Let’s talk about this later.
Li Jianguo put the things into the trunk of the jeep, and there was no room for anything else in it. Originally, there were a lot of things stuffed inside - Li Long wanted to take them to the mountains.
So the things Lu Yingming brought over were placed in the passenger seat.
Of course, a shovel won't work, so that thing can only be placed in the back.
"Take some fish back when you leave." Liang Yuemei said, "Take the peeled ones and take them back to cook and mend them for Xiaoxia."
"Okay. I'll bring some more to Uncle Liang and the others." Li Long said, "The jeep is fast, this is just a matter of convenience."
"Okay." Liang Yuemei smiled.
Li Qingxia originally thought about going to the county with the jeep to sell the fish that were not yet peeled but still fresh, but then he thought about it.
There is only such a big market in the county, so you can't sell much, and it's troublesome to come back by yourself.
He wouldn't admit that he just wanted to ride in a jeep.
Li Long took the fish with him, started the jeep and drove to the county. He put the peeled ones in the kitchen of the big yard. Then he went to Liang's house again. After putting the fish down, Li Jianguo and the others fought with Liang Donglou and the others. After saying hello, Li Long drove the jeep to the mountains.
Knowing that her eldest brother-in-law would also work in the mountains, Liang Wenyu's initially anxious heart suddenly felt relieved.
Anyway, if it doesn't work, you can still ask your eldest brother-in-law for advice. Li Long also said that he would arrange them in a nearby ditch, within a few steps.
Liang Donglou and Chen Xiuzhu were also relieved.
Li Long had been negligent in not telling them that Li Jianguo was also going.
Although Li Long is in charge, now that they know that Li Jianguo is also here, their feelings are obviously different.
When passing by Qingshui River, Li Long smelled a strong smell of burning slivers.
Obviously, Qingshuihe Village has begun to make plans.
He Yuqing and Meng Hai moved very quickly.
Li Long even felt that even if he gave all 4,000 jobs to this side, they might be able to win.
After all, it is closer to the mountain, so there will be many more people that can be summoned. (End of chapter)
