Chapter 651 Is this treasure real?
The next day, after the family was settled, Li Long drove the jeep to the mountains.
He did not go to Xiaobaiyanggou first, but went to the wooden house first.
Yesterday was Sun Jiaqiang's first day on duty, so he didn't know what the situation was like there and whether there were any mistakes.
When the jeep drove to the cabin, Li Long saw Bolati's horse grazing nearby. There were three bags beside the horse. Bolati and Sun Jiaqiang stood in front of the cabin and looked at the approaching jeep.
Li Long vaguely remembered that Polati and Sun Jiaqiang met last year. There shouldn't be any conflicts, right?
When the jeep stopped and Li Long got out of the car, Bolati came over and asked:
"Li Long, is this person left here by you?"
"Yes." Li Long said, "I can't do it alone, so I asked him to come over and help collect the fritillaries."
"Well..." Polati pulled Li Long to the side, then turned to look at Sun Jiaqiang, and then whispered:
"Is it reliable?"
"Yes." When he asked, Li Long was not sure.
"Let me tell you, you also know that these fritillaries I brought here were hidden from our forestry team. If he goes to sue..."
"That won't happen." Li Long waved his hand and lowered his voice and said, "Firstly, he doesn't know where your forestry team is, and secondly, he also wants to make money. Is there any reward for reporting you?"
"No, but we will be punished."
"That's it, it won't do any good, he won't do it." Li Long was in Guan Bo Lati's heart, but to be honest, he wasn't very sure.
After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and this thing is not easy to test.
"That's enough. Look, I brought you three bags of Fritillaria this time. That group of people is so bad.
However, they were quite sensible. Seeing that I was holding a gun, they handed Fritillaria over. I also told them that when digging caladiums, just dig caladiums. Either go deep into the mountains or don’t destroy the turf..."
Bolati felt relieved and pointed to the three bags of caladiums with a smile.
Li Long went over and weighed it, and found that a bag must weigh thirty or forty kilograms - fresh Fritillaria weighed quite a bit.
Sun Jiaqiang was asked to get the scale, and Li Long weighed it. Three bags weighed 112 kilograms. Li Long put the fritillaries away, and then asked Polati what he wanted.
"Money, meat, wine..."
This time it was a big deal. After Bolati was reassured, he immediately began to make his demands. He waved his hand, like Bai Yi, "Everything is needed!"
"Okay." Li Long said with a smile, and then helped him get something.
Sun Jiaqiang was helping and envious.
That is to say, this Bolati doesn't trust him. Otherwise, with so many fritillaries, he would only get more than fifty yuan, which is a huge sum of money!
But this also made Sun Jiaqiang more confident. Helping Li Long exchange mother-of-pearl for supplies here, the prospects are really good.
There are many herb collectors entering the mountain this year. The old herb collectors know that they can exchange supplies here. If the old herb collectors bring new ones, the news will spread more widely, and more people will come to exchange items than last year.
Can make money!
When loading things for Paula, Li Long asked smoothly:
"Were these people intercepted at Mantou Mountain? Isn't that close to here?"
"That's really not close," Polati said while counting money there. "Just think, there is a round one in the mountain to the west of the Taxi River." He turned to look at Li Long and found that Li Long Still couldn't understand this, he shook his head and continued:
"Just over there at Mantou Mountain, there are several ditches where there are fritillary diggers..."
He turned his head and glanced at Sun Jiaqiang again, then lowered his voice and said to Li Long:
"I met a man. When I checked him, he said that he did not dig fritillaries and was looking for something here. I heard that there used to be a high-ranking official of your Han people who buried a lot of good things here, including gold... Look for that person right there!”
Li Long was stunned for a moment. Is there really a treasure? Is anyone else looking for it?
Seeing Li Long's expression, Polati smiled:
"Look, you guys are very curious about this. But, we have lived here for so many years and never knew there were treasures there, so we just said, it's fake, it can't be real..."
The topic was over. After Bolati finished counting the money and picked up other things, he waved to Li Long, mounted his horse and left.
Not long after getting on the horse, Li Long could see him taking a bottle and pouring a sip into his mouth. He shook his head. This alcoholic looked quite a bit addicted.
Sun Jiaqiang came over and helped Li Long pour the three large bags of Fritillaria into basins and began to wash them.
There are so many caladiums that it is impossible to wash them all at once, and there is not such a big place to dry them. When drying, it can't be spread as thin as before. It has to be spread thicker and turned more frequently, just like drying grain.
Sun Jiaqiang looked at so many Fritillaria and said while working:
"If you dry these, you can collect 20 kilograms, right?"
"Absolutely." Li Long calculated. Four or five kilograms of fresh caladiums at the turn of spring and summer can be dried to produce one kilogram of dried ones. These can be dried to about twenty kilograms.
If the price of caladium does not rise this year, it will cost about 800 yuan. If it rises, it will cost almost 1,000 yuan.
The money and supplies given to Bolati are equivalent to about 300 yuan. In this way, he earned 500 yuan this morning.
It is equivalent to Gu Xiaoxia's salary for one year.
It was indeed a huge profit.
"It's really a lot. I'm afraid that group of people will be angry to death." Sun Jiaqiang said while washing, "How far is it from here?"
"Twenty or thirty kilometers, right?" Li Long wasn't sure. He had never been there. A national-level Shimenzi Reservoir was later built in the mountains upstream of the Taxi River. It is said that the scenery is beautiful. But I don’t know why I didn’t mention it later. I don’t know if it was leaking or something. Anyway, I didn’t listen to the publicity.
"That's okay," Sun Jiaqiang felt relieved, "Since they are so far away, there is a high probability that they will not come here."
Li Long knew that what he was worried about was that those people were coming over. If they knew that Bolati was related to the owner of this wooden house, they would take revenge.
After all, those people are a group, no more than one or two people.
"From now on, you should open the door later in the morning and close the door earlier in the evening." Li Long reminded, "Anyway, please pay attention to your own safety."
"Don't worry, I'm very careful about my own safety. Besides, there are still a few extremely vicious people," Sun Jiaqiang poured the washed Fritillaria onto the case and said as he poured it, "Most of them are still afraid of the official The power. Now, I can be regarded as a semi-official representative, haha.”
Okay, since he thinks so, Li Long won't say anything more.
Before these three bags of Fritillaria were washed, someone came over to change things, so Li Long asked Sun Jiaqiang to change them. Sun Jiaqiang was still a little embarrassed, but seeing that Li Long didn't speak any more, he wiped his wet hands on his body, and then went over to ask that person.
"Change noodles." The man lowered his voice, which sounded strange.
Li Long turned his head and took a look, and found that this man's hair was shawl, and his face was half covered.
He looked at it carefully, smiled, lowered his head and continued to work on himself.
I never expected that there are actually women among the herb collectors in the mountains.
However, this woman was probably afraid of being recognized by others, so she pretended to be a man, and her voice was deliberately thickened. I wonder if Sun Jiaqiang could hear it.
The woman still held a stick in her hand and peeked at Li Long from time to time. She was obviously very wary.
"Do you want to replace all noodles?" Sun Jiaqiang asked enthusiastically: "Let me weigh these caladiums... four and a half kilograms, which are quite clean. If you want to replace noodles, you can exchange for more than ten kilograms. I suggest you change to something else, salt. , sugar, matches, etc. ”
The man hesitated for a moment, thought about it and said:
"I heard there is meat..."
"There are plenty of them. The cooked venison is being dried," Sun Jiaqiang looked like a salesman selling his products. "It's smeared with salt and it's very delicious. By the way, there are also rubber shoes, which are sold in The most practical one in the mountains..."
Finally, the woman left in exchange for four kilograms of noodles, four pieces of cooked venison, a pair of rubber shoes, and some other supplies.
When Sun Jiaqiang took these fritillaries and cleaned them, he said:
"These caladiums are much cleaner than the previous ones. By the way, Li Long, have you noticed that this person is not short personally, so why are his feet so small?"
Li Long smiled. It seemed that Sun Jiaqiang didn't realize that this was a woman.
He didn't intend to expose it and just fooled it.
Before lunch, two more people came to change things. After changing, Li Long collected all the fritillaries, loaded them into the jeep, and then drove Sun Jiaqiang to eat.
Sun Jiaqiang meant that Li Long went to eat, and he was here to watch. Li Long disagreed. If two or three people really came and robbed the mother-of-pearl, wouldn't he have suffered a great loss?
The two of them went to Xiaobaiyanggou for dinner together. During the meal, Li Long also said that he would come here in the afternoon to check and accept the work.
People on both sides of Xu Haijun and Liang Wenyu, who were eating here at noon, understood that they had to get the handle in advance, otherwise there would be trouble later.
Today’s lunch meal is noodles and rice with soup. Lao Huang told Li Long that he had been chewing for more than an hour - these guys were too demanding. They couldn't even eat noodles, but had to eat slices.
But when he said this, Lao Huang had a smile on his face.
There are more than 20 people making up the work, and the money he draws from the work alone in a month may be four to five hundred. With so much money, he would be happy just to cook, not to mention eating pills, not to mention fucking for an hour, even for the whole day!
After Li Long finished eating, he sent Sun Jiaqiang back. Instead of unloading the Fritillaries, he unloaded some supplies and put them into the cabin. After waiting to see Sun Jiaqiang change another person's Fritillaries, he drove the car Back to Xiaobaiyanggou.
He had to complete the acceptance as soon as possible.
Here in Xiaobaiyanggou, Xie Yundong and the others were also waiting for Li Long to come. When they saw the jeep arriving, Xie Yundong had already prepared his notebook.
For each acceptance inspection, Li signs, the editor signs, and Xie Yundong signs. The numbers after the three signatures take effect. The final sum of these numbers is the total effective number.
Li Long was a little surprised to find that during today's acceptance inspection, the quality of the products had improved, and the pass rate was quite high, reaching 80%.
Of course, the best ones are the veterans like Big Brother and the others, with a pass rate of 85%. The pass rates of the top guys compiled by Xu Haijun and Liang Wenyu are about the same.
Therefore, the total number of lifts this time is slightly higher than last time, reaching almost two hundred.
Fits two cars. It would be more troublesome to unload the truck, which Li Long also thought about. Anyway, he would have to bring a few people back to help, and he couldn't do it alone.
After inspecting nearly two hundred handlebars, Li Long drove the jeep to the wooden house again.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Although this is his base, with Xie Yundong, eldest brother, Xu Haijun and Liang Wenyu watching, no matter what, nothing will happen here. Even if outsiders come, there are so many people here who are not afraid.
But it was different over there in the cabin. Sun Jiaqiang was the only one there, and Li Long was afraid that something would happen.
It would be quite troublesome if something really happened.
When the jeep drove to the point where he could see the cabin, Li Long saw three people struggling with Sun Jiaqiang. His heart skipped a beat. He immediately increased the accelerator, turned on the horn, and drove past with a rumble.
There was another person not far away from the three people and Sun Jiaqiang. That person seemed to be watching a play, watching from a distance of twenty or thirty meters, neither walking nor talking.
When they discovered Li Long's jeep, the few people separated from Sun Jiaqiang, but did not leave.
The fact that the person didn't leave meant that there was something to talk about instead of just coming to bully the person. Li Long was slightly relieved.
He drove the jeep in front of him, and when he got out of the car, he saw Sun Jiaqiang's aggrieved face, but he forced a smile on his face. The three of them were all in their twenties and thirties. Although their physiques were weaker than Li Long's, they were still strong. Much stronger than the Sun family.
The look he looked at Li Long was also a little unkind.
Li Long probably understood a little bit.
"What's going on?" Li Long asked Sun Jiaqiang.
"He looks down on us and sells them at high prices!" one of the three people said.
The man had shawl hair and wore jeans that not many people in Northern Xinjiang wore at this time.
"I didn't ask you!" Li Long scolded him, glared at him, and then looked at Sun Jiaqiang.
Sun Jiaqiang wanted to speak just now, but was overtaken by that person and didn't say anything. Now seeing Li Long being so supportive, he immediately said:
"They used fritillaries to exchange for things. I gave them exchanges, but they said no, the exchange was too little..."
"Don't change if it's too little!" Li Long understood, turned to the three people and said, "There is a county town, a village, and a sales department outside the mountain. If you think it's expensive here, just go out and change!"
< br>
These three people didn't expect Li Long to be so tough, and they were immediately restrained.
Then the man in jeans said unconvinced:
"What? This is how you do business? Do you still want to make money?"
"What? Do you think I'm doing charity here?" Li Long looked at him with a sneer, "If you don't want to change, just leave! Bargainers are not welcome here!"
The three of them were feeling a little uncomfortable. The one behind his shoulder-length hair and jeans was holding up his sleeves. His actions meant that he wanted to fight.
Will Li Long be afraid of him?
In fact, he could tell as soon as he got out of the car that these three people were not good birds. They were three big men. The Fritillaria that each of them carried to change things looked like the bottom of a bag. Maybe they just wanted to come and grab things.
Can't spoil them!
Sun Jiaqiang had actually been patient in explaining just now. Now he understood that the other party didn't want to change, and Li Long didn't want to be kind when he came over. So when he saw the other party rolling up his sleeves, he immediately turned around and took a stick at the door of the wooden house. Stick, ready for battle.
"What? You want to have a fight?" Li Long said happily, "Come on, come on, come together!"
He didn't show his gun, mainly because he could see that these three people were trying to subdue Sun Jiaqiang by relying on their numbers.
After all, Sun Jiaqiang doesn't have the physique of his own.
As for the fight, they were not prepared for it.
The man in jeans suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the person next to him, and said with a sneer:
"There will always be times when you are away. Do you think you can keep this wooden house because you have offended us?"
Li Long sneered and said:
"I don't know if the house can be saved or not, but if this house is really going to be destroyed, I will be the first to find you. I will lose one of my six legs. I will take your last name!"
He turned to Sun Jiaqiang and said:
"I'm going to sleep in the diwozi tonight. Today I'll see who dares to touch this house!"
The jeans originally wanted to intimidate Li Long, but unexpectedly they encountered a tough problem.
This time it is difficult to ride a tiger.
The one next to me who wanted to take action couldn't help it anymore:
"Old Niu, what nonsense are you talking about? I've knocked down everything! Can he still bite the ball off?"
After saying that, he pounced on Sun Jiaqiang next to him.
It has to be said that the fights between farmers are really not the kind of punching and kicking in martial arts movies. They basically start with pulling and wrestling. If the opponent falls, he can suppress him and do whatever he wants.
Li Long ignored Sun Jiaqiang for now. Now that the other party took action, he reached out and grabbed the collar of his jeans. When he pulled the person over, he bumped his head into the other person's nose.
"Ah——"
Jeans screamed and sat down, covering his nose and eyes. It hurt so much!
The other one was a little slow in his action and grabbed Li Long's arm to rescue Lao Niu. Li Long twisted his arm and fell to the ground. He slapped him on the face and nosebleeds came out immediately.
He kicked the guy in the abdomen again. While he was holding his stomach in pain, Li Long had already gone to save Sun Jiaqiang.
As soon as Sun Jiaqiang was taken away from the stick and pushed to the ground, the man riding on Sun Jiaqiang was about to say hello to his face. Li Long dragged the guy aside by the collar and said to Sun Jiaqiang:
"Get a stick and hit me!"
Sun Jiaqiang was really ruthless. He picked up the stick on the ground and knocked it down shamelessly.
Li Long looked at the person in the distance.
"It has nothing to do with me, I'm just here to change things." The man raised the bag in his hand.
There was four to five kilograms of caladium in the bag, which seemed to be correct.
But to be honest, no matter how he looked at it, Li Long felt that this person had a fisherman's mentality. No matter which side wins, he can take advantage.
But what to do with these three people?
Li Long was a little worried. After all, he had been beaten and the other party had said harsh words. If he and Sun Jiaqiang were not there, he was really afraid that if they let each other go, they would burn down the wooden house.
At this time, Li Long felt a little bit trapped in a tiger.
what to do?
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Li Long asked Sun Jiaqiang to stop fighting and go exchange things with that person first.
He looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.
Polati comes.
Li Long smiled.
