Xu Haijun took five people and stationed themselves at Dabaiyang Valley next to Xiaobaiyang Valley.
The two ditches are only separated by a mountain, and they are relatively close, just over the mountain.
The reason why Liang Wenyu didn't choose this place at that time was because there was almost no flat terrain here, and it was not easy to dig a nest in the ground.
The stream in the ditch is quite large and not very convenient.
Some people are still puzzled by Xu Haijun's decision to choose this place, and they also feel that it must not be easy to make a living here.
"What's the point? Find a place that's convenient for working. As for the nest, I'll tell you how to dig it."
Xu Haijun found a slope with better soil and fewer rocks on the hillside and started digging.
"Are you... digging a cave dwelling?" When Li Long came over to take a look, Xu Haijun had dug more than one meter deep, but it was still a little far away from his goal.
"Yes, we live in the soil anyway. The nest is down, and when I go in, I don't have to worry about rainwater flooding in. It's great." Xu Haijun said while digging.
Others have obviously been convinced by him and are following suit.
Li Long felt that Xu Haijun was right, waterproof cave dwellings were a better place than underground caves. It's raining heavily, and at most a little water will blow in inside the cave dwelling. If you use a sack to block the hole, you won't be afraid at all.
In summer, there are strong northwest winds. They dug holes on the west slope of the ditch and really didn't worry about rain.
The geology of this area is relatively complex. The holes dug by the five people are spread out thirty to forty meters apart, making it difficult for them to take care of each other.
"Then you have to be careful at night. There are wolves, lynxes, bears, etc. in the mountains, as well as snakes. You must take protective measures at night to avoid being attacked."
"Don't worry, if they dare to come, I dare to let Lao Huang eat more." Xu Haijun replied with a smile.
He had heard that Li Long often brought wild boars, wolves and other prey from the mountains in the past two years, and he was really not convinced.
In the past two years as a scout, he has been shooting a lot. Although his body has been injured, his marksmanship is still there.
This time he also brought a gun, thinking that if he really encountered a wild animal, he would definitely shoot it down.
When he came over, he saw that Li Jianguo had killed a wild boar. Xu Haijun was naturally full of confidence and thought that he had to bring some meat back when he went back.
Although the household responsibility system has now made every household in rural areas much richer, there are still only a few people like the Li family who eat meat every day.
If you can bring home a wild boar, your family will not have to worry about meat for half a year.
Li Long came over and just gave a few words of advice. Seeing that Xu Haijun was quite confident, he said no more and returned to Xiaobaiyanggou.
He was also a little confused. Xu Haijun did not bring Huang Siping with him this time. The five people he brought were all relatively honest young people in the team.
Has the relationship between the two changed?
Li Long naturally didn't know that Xu Haijun made the decision after careful consideration.
With Huang Siping, if he becomes a troublemaker like Xu Jianjun again, it's not clear whether he can come next year.
Xu Haijun was thinking about long-term plans. If Li Long could get this high-level job every year, then he'd better bring people here every year.
Not only can he make money, but he can also get a group of people to listen to him.
Everything you do in the future will be easier.
Xu Chengjun told him some things, and he also analyzed a lot himself. He also found out what his cousin Xu Jianjun did the year before last to make Li Long stop talking to him.
So Xu Haijun was very cautious. He didn't want to be Li Long's younger brother. At most, the two of them had a cooperative relationship. He is equivalent to taking over Li Long's job and becoming a second-level distributor.
Young people, who doesn’t have the idea of being a big brother?
So this is the first time you come out, the person you choose is more important. At least he won't fight against you, and he must be relatively obedient.
Although Huang Siping was close to Xu Haijun, the words he said after returning and his attitude towards Xu Haijun made him feel that he might not be able to suppress this guy.
He still remembers that the day after he came back, Huang Siping came to see him. When talking, he complained that Tao Daqiang did not lend him money and made him lose face when he got married.
After Xu Haijun heard what happened, he said to him, there are ways to make money, why not make money by working on your own? Wouldn't it be more fun to spend the money?
As a result, Huang Siping directly criticized Xu Haijun: "Jinjun, I came to you because I treat you as a friend and I will tell you my true feelings. What do you mean? Are you from his side? If you want to treat me as a friend, you have to be less Associate with him! ”
With these few words, Xu Haijun knew that if he brought him to the mountains and there was a dispute, he would not listen to him like other young people and would definitely talk back to him.
That's a big deal.
So Huang Siping was not chosen, and Huang Siping complained for a while after he found out.
Fortunately, Huang Siping had just gotten married and didn't want to be separated from his wife for too long, so he could just talk about it and get over it.
Xu Haijun and others dug a nest in the ground here. After Li Long returned to Xiaobaiyanggou, he smeared the three legs of the wild boar with salt, put them in a clean bag and put them in the jeep.
What Li Jianguo meant was to take these three legs back, put one here with Li Long, one with Team Four, and one with the Liang family.
Liang Wenyu went to the mountains. The old couple had a lot of things to do and they had to make up for it.
The remaining leg, wild boar body, and offal offal are enough for us to eat for a while.
During lunch, Li Jianguo, Liang Wenyu and others came over with bowls. Xu Haijun and others were still digging. Tao Daqiang climbed up the mountain and shouted, and then six of them came over.
With more than 20 people eating, it was quite lively.
At noon, Lao Huang prepared two pots, one large and one small, with a small shovel for cooking, and the corn flour pancakes posted there.
The dish was wild boar stewed with cabbage vermicelli - the cabbage vermicelli was brought here. Nowadays, every household is not so poor. They not only bring food, but also some things from home.
Therefore, the food reserve includes not only grain, but also cabbage, potatoes, radishes, which are all uneaten leftovers from last year, and some pickles.
Lao Huang stewed a large pot, and after everyone took an enamel basin, there was still a lot left in the pot.
They were all working people, letting go of their work, squatting or sitting there in groups, snoring and eating.
"Whose den is that? Why hasn't it been moved?" asked a young man who followed Xu Haijun.
"Xiao Sundi." Lu Yingming glanced at it and said while eating.
"Xiao? Who is Sun?" The young man looked around and didn't seem to see anyone named Sun.
"I came here last year to dig for medicine." Lu Yingming explained, "I don't know if I will come this year. The young man is nice. He seemed to have pointed out to Xiaolong where wild boars or deer were found."
Li Long thought of Sun Jiaqiang again.
"Then... if he doesn't come, why should I come here?" The young man asked this question because he was a little moved. He thought that he didn't need to dig a nest in the ground. There were some rocks in the place he was looking for, and it was not easy to dig out. He hasn't dug it yet. It’s halfway there.
"You'd better stay over there." Xie Yundong shook his head, "Maybe one day Xiao Sun will come over." He didn't want to have more people here, and then have a conflict with Xu Haijun.
The young man shut up.
Having said all that needed to be said, Li Long went out of the mountain after dinner. He had to rush to deliver the meat to various houses.
When the jeep drove back to the county, he went to Liang's house first. Liang Donglou and Chen Xiuzhu were packing the tractor in the yard. Both of them were very careful. After the tractor was driven into the mountains, it had to be well maintained when it came back. There was a lot of grass entangled in the gaps between the wheels of the chassis.
Li Long didn't seem to care. He felt that the tractor was sturdy and durable, so it didn't need to be so delicate.
Li Long lifted the boar leg off, and Chen Xiuzhu quickly wiped her hands and took it, curiously asking:
"You're just going to fight in the mountains right now? When did you fight Xiaolong?"
"It's not me, it's my eldest brother. Didn't my eldest brother go into the mountains yesterday? In the middle of the night, he heard wild boars roaring past the cave. When the wild boars came back, he shot one."
"Hey, I was sitting on the tractor looking at the wild boar." Liang Donglou slapped his thigh, "I didn't even think about what it was for, and Juan's father didn't say anything, so it was him who shot it."
Thinking that Li Jianguo would hunt a wild boar when he arrived, Liang Donglou was still yearning for it. Listening to the underlying meaning of his words, he felt that he should stay one night and see if he could be lucky enough to encounter a herd of wild boars again.
Then let Chen Xiuzhu give a speech.
Li Long left the Liang family and drove to Team Four. His father and Tao Jianshe were cleaning up nets in the yard, which surprised him.
My sister-in-law and my mother are working in the vegetable field.
Everyone watched the jeep enter the yard, and then watched Li Long come down and pull out the boar leg.
"You're hunting a wild boar?" Li Qingxia was as surprised as Liang Donglou.
"My elder brother beat me early this morning." Li Long repeated Li Jianguo's "heroic deeds", "It's amazing."
Tao Jianshe looked envious. Although their family's life is better, it is still several levels behind the Li family's.
"Uncle Tao, cut some meat and take it back. This wild boar is not big, and it tastes really good." Li Long made the decision. Since Tao Jian is here, he can't let him go back empty-handed.
From the looks of it, the two old men were planning to get off the net together.
When he returned, Li Long cut two or three kilograms of meat from the remaining wild boar leg and placed it with Uncle Luo. He declined Uncle Luo's invitation to have dinner together and hurried back to the county.
Sister Yang has another job, which is to process the meat.
But for Sister Yang, this is a good thing. Who can be unhappy if there is meat to eat?
The next day, Li Long first went to Xiaobaiyanggou to see where they were weaving a piece of work, so he didn't stay long and went to Harimu's place.
There is a smell of phosphorus in Harimu's winter nest. This stuff is an insecticide used for washing sheep. It doesn't smell good.
The sheep grazing on the grass slope were all brown. They had obviously been treated with medicinal baths, and there must be no bugs left.
Li Long brought down some rubber shoes and rubber boots, and Harimu came over on horseback. The horse was followed by his black dog, looking at Li Long and wagging his tail.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The dog was already familiar with Li Long's scent, but it wasn't very close. Li Long wanted to pet the dog's head, but the dog had already run away.
"We will be changing places in three days." Harimu said, "Shanli Buick and his family have already arrived at the summer pasture."
Li Long nodded and said:
"I'll come over to help in three days."
"No, no, no." Harimu shook his head, "Let's get up early and leave. Your Yang Gangzi is pregnant with a baby, so don't come over in such a hurry. If you have time, go to the animal husbandry team and see Nasensa Just scan them.”
Harimu was still worried about his mother and children, but he believed that Li Long would help take care of his family.
Li Long nodded and drove to the cabin.
To his surprise, just after the jeep crossed the ridge and reached the flat grass, he saw a horse outside the wooden house in the distance, with no one on the horse.
Li Long speeded up, wondering if it might be someone from the forestry team patrolling the forest. The horse's coat looked a bit like Bolati's, and he didn't know if it was true.
The sound of the jeep alarmed the horse's owner. A man stood up from the front of the house and looked in the direction of the jeep.
As he got closer, Li Long saw that it was indeed Bolati.
Bolati was a little surprised when he saw the jeep, and he was a little nervous. Although he has never ridden in a jeep, he knows that even ordinary leaders cannot ride in this thing - not to mention the forestry team, it is said that even the superiors of the forestry team cannot ride in this car!
But when he looked at the driver, many things rolled through his mind.
How could it be Li Long?
When Li Long came down to greet Polati, he was still confused.
But later he accepted Li Long's explanation. It was a car in the state, so it made sense.
He definitely didn't believe that this car belonged to Li Long.
"I saw the dirt in front of your wooden house was swept away, and I knew it must be you." Polati waited for Li Long to open the door and bring out a bench for him, and then said, "I think It’s time for you to come too.”
Li Long poured out an enamel basin of water from the thermos and handed it to Bolati.
Bolati took it and took a sip. It felt warm, so he finished it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, put down the enamel basin, and said to Li Long:
"The caladiums have grown out. Another person on our forest patrol caught a man digging caladiums the day before yesterday and handed over more than two kilograms of caladiums. Will you harvest them again this year?"
"Take it." Li Long said with a smile, "I will take it as long as you have it. The more, the better."
"That's good. If you meet me later, I'll bring it to you." Polati naturally knew that Li Long must have made a lot of money from it, but he didn't care. The rewards he could get for the fritillaries he handed in were not many.
If you send it to Li Long, he can get a lot of it, whether it's wine or supplies.
Li Long didn't plan to go back at noon, he thought he could just make something to eat here.
I'll go see the fish later and pick some mushrooms. Two dishes are enough. There are some noodles in the big room. I'll make some noodles later and steam a basket of steamed buns, which will be enough for a few days.
Li Long set up the stove and took out the bedding to dry it. Polati chatted for a while and planned to leave.
Li Long heard what he meant, opened the small room, took out a bottle of wine and handed it over:
"Don't drink too much, or you'll fall asleep."
"Okay, okay." Polati looked at the wine, his eyes were shining, he took it and said with a smile, "Don't worry, just take a small sip, less than a cup. I just want to taste it... I haven't drank it for a long time."< br>
Li Longcai didn't believe it. Bolati made a lot of money from him last year, so how could he not have money to drink?
Bolati mounted his horse, bit open the mouth of the wine bottle, took a sip of wine, raised his horse whip and said goodbye to Li Long, and left unsteadily.
From a distance, Li Long saw him put the wine bottle into the pocket on the saddle, then raised his whip and whipped the horse and galloped away, and then he felt relieved.
Kneading dough, rising dough, collecting nets, peeling fish, picking mushrooms, processing and cooking.
Two stoves were set up outside the wooden house again, one to steam steamed buns and one to stir-fry vegetables.
Marmots have begun to appear on the turf. If you see Li Long retreating into his hole from a distance, he will sneak out again after Li Long passes by.
Li Long thought about bringing this small caliber over and aiming at each one he saw.
It eats grass roots underground. It can eat all the grass roots and gnaw holes in the turf one by one. It also spreads the plague. It's really not that cute.
This meal was a bit late, mainly because it took time to make the dough, and steaming the buns was not difficult for Li Long.
After he finished eating, he spread part of the remaining steamed buns in the big room and part of them outside to dry.
Then I sat outside and leaned against the wall to bask in the sun.
Li Long also wanted to see if any medicine diggers would come to exchange things today, but he waited until the sun set in the west, but there was no one there.
He was a little disappointed, stood up, took back the quilt and spread it on the wooden kang. After several days of drying, the bedding has become very dry, and the moisture in the wooden house has almost dried up.
After packing the pot outside and the half-dried buns into the house, Li Long locked the door and drove back to the county.
The next day he bought some naan before coming to the mountains. Nang is relatively cheap at this time, and you can buy one for just a few cents.
Li Long bought fifty of them. Some of them will be sent to the people who make the handles, and some of them will be put in the wooden house and used as his staple food together with the steamed buns.
Fifty naan, almost all the naan produced in the morning from the only three naan shops in the county were bought.
Those who came later to buy naan were very resentful when they heard that they had to wait a long time to buy it.
But there is nothing you can do. If someone comes to buy it, the naan shop owner will naturally not stop selling it.
When Li Long drove his jeep through Qingshuihe Village, he still smelled the strong smell of burning slivers. He suppressed his desire to go over and see how many slivers were made here and drove directly into the mountains.
Xiaobaiyanggou also smells like burning slivers. Li Long, the eldest brother Li Jianguo, was not worried. He watched for a few minutes, greeted a few people, took off some of the naan and put it here, and then went over to see Liang Wenyu.
Liang Wenyu and others were knitting and cutting strips, and the fire for burning the strips was already burning. Li Long looked at the handful of strips they had made yesterday and frowned.
After thinking for a while, Li Long called Liang Wenyu over alone, then pointed at a few lifters and said:
"These four are unqualified. Can you control these people you brought here?"
"Yes."
"As long as you can. Tell them that these braids have been reworked and the braiding is loose. They will fall apart soon. The quality is not good. If you can't hold it down, I'll come over in two days to pick up the braids. When the time comes, I will press.”
"No, no, I can do it myself." Liang Wenyu explained hurriedly, "I finished editing yesterday a little late, so I went to bed without checking. From today on, I will check every night after dinner."
"Okay."
With Liang Wenyu's words, Li Long felt relieved.
Let’s go see Xu Haijun’s side. What surprised Li Long was that the quality of the handbags compiled by Xu Haijun was still acceptable.
good.
He was just a little depressed. In the next few days, he didn't meet any herbal pickers who came to change things. (End of chapter)
