Li Long spent the next few days in such a busy life. What surprised him was that he could harvest more than 100 kilograms of fritillaria every day.
The biggest source of Fritillaria is a forest ranger like Bolati.
After exchanging money and meat, Bolati also complained to Li Long:
"There is really no way. There are too many people entering the mountain. The weather is good this year, and the fritillaria is good. There are a lot of people who come to dig for fritillaria.
These people are more professional, just digging a Fritillaria, and the pit left by digging a tree is not big, so we took the Fritillaria and let it go.
But some second-rate guys, who don’t know how to dig, run into the mountains, want to get rich and go crazy. They dig a pit that is big as a Fritillaria basin, and then will it wash away the water and soil when it rains?
When we meet these people, we have to arrest them and send them to the forestry team to lock them up and then repatriate them. Do you know that some people are from the county, and now they are free to come here to dig Fritillaria... Alas, I'm very annoying! ”
Only then did Li Long know why he can receive so many Fritillaria every day now.
It turns out that there are too many people coming in.
The fritillaria that Bolati and the others brought were mainly exchanged for wine and meat, and money.
After all, it is not easy to eat meat in the forestry team. Their traditional habits are only available for those beef and mutton that the imam agrees to slaughter and recite scriptures.
It is abnormal, that is, the meat of livestock that dies unexpectedly cannot be eaten.
But the forestry team is not a pastoral team, and even the pastoral team cannot slaughter cattle and sheep for themselves every day.
What should I do if I want to eat meat?
Li Long is like a place to take advantage of loopholes. After all, it’s time. There are always people who are not so determined in their minds. They put the fragrant meat in front of them. The meat was also hunted and not considered accidental death. Moreover, it was made of yellow sheep and roe deer. , It’s a red deer, not the kind of “big-eared sheep”, do you eat it?
Most of the young people eat it.
Sometimes the rules on this frontier are not very strict. In Li Long's memory, in the next thirty or forty years, only a few years of extremes, the restaurant did not allow cigarettes and alcohol, and then Been pressed down.
Now and later generations, it is normal for uncles who roasted lamb to smoke a cigarette or drink a cup of big wusu during the break.
It is normal for several old people to gather together to show off their cigarette boxes that they packed in Mohe cigarettes, then pour out and take a look at the cigarettes, and then roll a cannon to smoke.
Li Long also saw or discovered online in later generations that these behaviors were taboos in some parts of our country.
All I can say is that I pressed lightly. Different ideas.
It would be better to have more people like Aili and Yili.
Unlike people like Bolati, those medicated people who come to change things mainly focus on changing daily necessities. I don’t know whether Sun Jiaqiang met Li Long, but Li Long didn’t notice it when he was there, so he probably never met a local.
The original plan was to be able to finish the crafts by more than one month, which is more than forty days, by the end of May, because there were more people joining, and Li Long underestimated the combat effectiveness of those in Qingshuihe Village, and the result was May 20th. On the morning of the voyage, the task of carrying the handkerchief was exceeded.
Of course, there are also results of competition among the three parties in Xiaobai Yanggou.
Last year, there were only 11 or 2 people who made up the hand-held, and everyone was familiar with each other, so there was no competition. Anyway, I know that some people have good skills and some are average. Just make the money they should make, and don’t buy them.
But this year is different. After being divided into three groups, Xu Haijun's group had the lowest pass rate at the beginning, but the young men were fighting hard and were not convinced, so they kept working hard later.
Because Liang Wenyu is considered outsiders, he feels that the starting point is low, the requirements are stricter and higher, and the pass rate is in the middle.
People like Li Jianguo are all veterans, so there is no need to mention the passing rate. But soon they found that if they didn't work hard, they would be overtaken by the young people, so they had to be forced to roll it up.
Now the speed and efficiency are both increased.
As for the ones on Qingshui River, let alone. Li Long gave them this opportunity, which made He Yuqing and Meng Hai very excited. They believe in Li Long, and Li Long always carries his hand after acceptance and pays the money in real time.
Now, their enthusiasm is to move upwards.
With such a volume, the speed and efficiency will increase.
It was considered to have exceeded the task.
Li Long himself also calculated that on the other side of Qingshui River, each of the eleven or two had crafted about 140 handles.
There are twenty-one or two people in Xiaobaiyanggou here, each of whom has made up about one hundred and thirty.
Except for Li Jianguo, the one who earns the most money is Lao Huang. He can draw 20 cents for each handheld, and finally get about 500 yuan.
Very happy.
As for Sun Jiaqiang, he received more than 500 kilograms of Fritillaria these days, and he converted it to more than 200 yuan.
He is not as good as a slut, but his life is easier, which is why he is most willing to stay.
Besides, although he has finished woven, it will take some time for Fritillaria to be collected before it can be finished, and he still has to make a profit. Li Long settled with him every day and took away the Fritillaria every day. Sun Jiaqiang does not have Fritillaria left, so he doesn't worry about safety issues.
On the morning of the 20th, Li Long collected the last batch of carriages from Xiaobaiyanggou and asked the car to take it directly to the supply and marketing cooperative. After unloading, he asked the people who were preparing to pack up for a while.
"Let me tell you that there is still a job tomorrow, which is my personal job. Of course, everyone should rest assured. I will pay for my salary in just one day." Li Long gathered the twenty or so people and said.
"What's the work to say?" Li Jianguo was not easy to speak. Xie Yundong felt that he didn't care about this more day, so he responded directly.
"I have a friend in the mountains, and Daqiang knows it. He is a herdsman, and the winter nest is not far from here. Tomorrow I plan to ask everyone to help dig a sheep washing pond at their doorstep. I think we are the ones who will take most of the day. Can handle it."
"That... can we dig?" Xu Haijun was a little surprised. He had never dug this thing.
"Then what can't be dug?" Lu Yingming smiled.
"That's right." Old Huang was also happy, "We dug up that thing." He smiled at Li Jianguo, "Is it, Old Li?"
"If you want to stay and dig, you will definitely dig." Li Jianguo then said, "You can dig it for half a day."
"Everyone wants to stay, I won't give you too much wages. You guys dig tomorrow, I'll go hunting, I'll have enough meat at noon, and I'll pay ten yuan for wages. How about it?"
Ten yuan is quite high, and it is not much to get three or five yuan when you go out to do a day.
Li Long naturally thought that everyone would work hard in the mountains, and it would be like giving benefits.
"What money do you want? Don't have money anymore, just take care of the meat." Xie Yundong said with a smile, "Whoever will not send you three hundred and four hundred after making up this time, it's not that bad."
"Then I'll ask everyone." Li Long waved his hand, "Why do you work, you still can't let it work in vain."
"No money," Xu Haijun thought about it. He still wanted to continue this job every year in the future, earning a year's salary for workers outside at one time. If Li Long didn't give it to, where would he find such a good job?
Others also said they didn't want wages, and there were a few people who wanted wages and couldn't speak.
"So that's it." Seeing that everyone said they didn't have wages, Li Long said:
"There are still quite a few fritillaria in the mountains. If everyone doesn't have wages, then after digging the sheep pond, I will tell the forestry team that I will find a few fritillaria ditches and want to stay, then dig them. How about Fritillaria a day? ”
Older people, such as Lu Yingming and Xie Yundong, suddenly lit up their eyes.
The forestry team is in charge of not allowing ordinary people to poach Fritillaria, and they are also aware of the high price of Fritillaria.
It would be fine if Li Long could manage to let them dig Fritillaria for a day.
"Where are you going to sell it when you are digging Fritillaria?" asked a young man from Liang Wenyu.
"You can take it back and dry it and sell it to the purchase station, or you can sell it to me. One kilogram of six yuan, I will charge it - but this price is our internal price, and I will charge it outside the fresh fritillaria, which is not the price." >
"Okay." Lao Huang was the first to respond, "How could we dig three or two kilograms that day..."
In fact, it’s not just that, if you have professional tools, those who have joined the sideline team like Li Jianguo and Lu Yingming will not be a problem to dig five or six kilograms a day.
Even if you don’t have professional tools, it’s not a problem to dig three or four kilograms in the Fritillary Belly Ditch - that’s twenty or thirty yuan.
These people were immediately moved.
After settled this matter, Li Long felt relieved.
Things are done one by one. This year, the water pipe is opened. If the sheep washing pond is dug up, it will be considered a major project.
It can be regarded as accumulating virtue for the unborn children, and also paying off the debts for Harim and the others - mainly because these brothers gave too much in the past, so they couldn't come.
Come on a little bit, and they will slowly make their lives better. "Then check the bill for you. Should I settle the bill now, or should I settle it again when I get home?" Li Long asked the last question.
"That must be the one that's going to be done now." Old Huang couldn't wait to get his money.
Li Long has actually brought the money here.
The money on Qingshui River has been paid. Yesterday, when the cleaning was over, He Yuqing and Meng Hai invited Li Long to have a meal together. If it weren't for Li Long's strong driving and no drinking, he would probably not be able to get off the table.
Even so, the two of them strongly expressed that Li Long came over when he had time and must drink it well when he could stay here for one night.
After all, at this time, including in the next twenty or thirty years, wine culture is still very popular.
In other words, forty years later, the wine culture began to decline, and then I didn’t try much to drink.
People in Qingshuihe know how to be grateful, or most people are quite grateful at this time. They can remember what others are doing to him.
Li Long believed that if he had anything to do in the mountains, He Yuqing and Meng Hai would definitely bring people to help.
But they are not needed for the time being. It's good, Li Long should think about the people from the fourth team first.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
After agreeing to Xiaobaigou's "family members", Li Long took Li Jianguo, Xie Yundong and others to Harim.
As for others, they can move around freely, but Li Long emphasized that three or five people must bring things together.
"There is a Ha Bear in the mountains, the kind that is more than two meters high. I encountered it when I was hunting two days ago. If I hadn't had a gun in my hand, I wouldn't have run away." Li Long emphasized the young people who were eager to try it out. , "Don't take it lightly. There are people who are eaten by wolves and bears in the mountains every year."
After he said this, the young people were more restrained. They originally wanted to see where there were Fritillaria in the nearby ditch.
Six yuan per kilogram. In their opinion, isn’t digging this thing more than making money by mocking up a handful?
Although I know that the people from the forestry team will not let me go, it’s okay in the afternoon, so it should be fine to dig some secretly, right?
In fact, when cutting strips in nearby ditches these days, some people have already realized what Fritillaria is.
Of course, they also recognize some wild mushrooms. Some people are now going to the ditch and want to pick some wild mushrooms, and plan to take them home tomorrow or the next day.
There are also people who want to pick wild strawberries.
At this time, some fritillaria have begun to bloom, but many have not bloomed. After all, the temperature in the mountains will be cooler, and some Fritillaria grow later.
"I plan to dig a sheep bath here." Li Long pointed to the location in front of Harimu Dongwo, which is forty or fifty meters away from the forest in front and fifty or sixty meters away from the Dongwo.
This area is relatively flat, just below the water source, which does not affect the grazing of Harim's family in winter, nor does it affect the cattle and sheep eating.
If you want to wash the sheep, open a canal from the end of the water pipe, put the water in, and then pour in the insecticide medicine, drive the sheep in from one end, and stand in the middle to use a "ya"-shaped wood to hold the sheep's head The son pressed into the potion, and after the sheep's whole body was soaked in the potion, he could just drive the sheep to the other end.
"It's okay to dig here, but if there is no Gobi below, if there is no Gobi underneath, you have to pick up some stones from the river and spread them under the pond, otherwise the water will seep quickly and you won't be able to wash it." Li Jianguo said.
"Don't there be cracks on stones?" Li Long was a little confused.
"Put the stones and fill them with sand in the gaps, which will seep slowly. If there is yellow mud below, it will be even better, and there is no need to lay the stones. But it is better to lay them, even if it is not anti-seepage, you should also Prevent the mud from falling from below."
"I understand." Li Long turned his head and looked at the stream below.
There are stones everywhere, enough for it.
Li Jianguo asked Li Long:
"How many sheep do you need to wash?"
"Why do you have to have one or two hundred?" Li Long said.
Li Jianguo then found a stick and roughly drew the sheep pool in the place where Li Long pointed out.
The pool is not big, and the imports in the head and the sheep pen at the back are no more than 35 meters.
Li Long felt young at first, but then he laughed when he thought about it. Why use it so big? This place is not like that in the village. There are pastures everywhere here. After washing the sheep, you don’t have to circle them. Just let them eat grass.
After the matter was confirmed, Li Long drove a jeep to send Li Jianguo and Xie Yundong back to Xiaobaiyanggou. On the way, Li Jianguo said: "I'll go and see where I can play nearby, and I'll play while I'm still in the mountains. , the best you can play."
Li Long pointed out the location of the rock salt cave to the east to Li Jianguo and told him about the situation there.
"Then I have to go and have a look..."
"I'll go and have a look." Xie Yundong was a little moved when he heard this, "I've never seen such a place before."
Rock salt and other things are not rare for them, but if they can guard some hunting, it will be a good place.
Li Long sent his elder brother and the others to Xiaobaiyanggou and found that except for Lao Huang who was cooking, a few people were resting, and the others were gone.
He guessed that he must have gone to a nearby ditch.
He plans to tell everyone how to deal with it when he is having a meal.
Of course, Li Long also believes that as long as the people here tell their relationship with him, those forest rangers will still give themselves some face no matter whether they know him or not.
In the afternoon, Li Long went to the wooden house to take a look. Sun Jiaqiang knew that the handheld had been carried, but the Fritillaria season had not yet passed, so he planned to stay here for a while.
It's a little bit to earn. Besides, I have a good meal and a good stay here, and I can make money. I can meet a lot of people every day. What else can I ask for?
Seeing Li Long coming, Sun Jiaqiang, who was squatting by the spring, was washing Fritillaria with some pride and grabbed Fritillaria and raised it. It seemed that the harvest today was also good.
Li Long came over and saw that the fritillaria in the basin and the ones dried outside could have 5 or 6 kilograms. It was pretty good.
These days, in addition to the regular items of supplies exchanged in the wooden house, Li Long, had already taken the second batch of short knife, and some herb collectors also took two of them. According to them, they would take them back to serve as gifts for their families. .
Li Long was so happy that this thing could be bought in the market.
He guessed that these people might not see where they usually go, or they would buy tickets directly after the herb collection season. At this time, they would exchange Fritillaria for things, just because they were lazy to find them.
After all, not everyone has the kind of courage to go out. When they come to the mountains to collect herbs, they also have the idea of avoiding the world. A person can make money without lying under others, and can support himself without dealing with others. It's great.
Li Long felt that someone seemed to be staring at him in the woods. As soon as he appeared, two groups of people came to change things.
They designated to exchange it with Li Long, change meat, steamed buns, change knives, and change money.
Li Long was naturally happy and did not forget to bring something for others after the replacement.
Although he came from time to time, in fact, he only changed to Fritillaria more than the Sun family. In this year's Fritillaria season, Li Long's total of Fritillaria has been replaced by a bit scary.
Now he goes to the acquisition station to sell Fritillaria every two days, and the amount of money he sells is already amazing.
However, his focus is on weaving and carrying the handle, and also digging the sheep pond.
To make money, things must be done step by step. After rebirth, he received a lot of gifts and kindness, and Li Long felt that he had to do something to repay.
For example, boiling water pipes, digging sheep ponds, and slowly getting rich with people who believe in themselves.
Just treat it as accumulating blessings for your unborn child.
When the people who changed things left, Li Long said to Sun Jiaqiang, and then drove the jeep to the Dongwan in Yushanjiang.
This time, he was not going to the winter nest in Talihar, he planned to change direction.
The Lishan Mountains in Tianshan are stacked, and wild animals will always survive in some steeper places.
He thought that if he met Ha Xiong this time, he would never let him go. (This chapter ends)
