Since Li Long promised to drive a tractor over, these herders no longer rush to mow the grass, but began to prepare what they would eat during this period.
Hunting requires hunting, who doesn’t like to eat meat these days? Li Long said that when the tractor comes tomorrow, he would bring them some food, and everyone would make naan and stew meat and cook soup.
It’s not impossible to cook, but it’s okay to make Naren Pickles. In short, since it’s out and with a gun, I have to make some meat to eat anyway.
Li Long habitually gave everyone some bullets - during this period he received some bullets from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Li Long gave birth to two children. When he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to share the sugar for his leaders and colleagues, Li Xiangqian rudely gave each child fifty dollars to calculate gifts. Li Long refused, Li Xiangqian insisted on giving, and finally Li Long accepted it. Twenty - each child costs ten yuan.
Fifty is a bit too much, it is beyond the standard, so you can't ask for so many.
He also told Director Wei about the bullets. At present, the militia did not train, so this is the only place where Li Long could get the bullets.
Director Wei went to the Northern Xinjiang Daily for repairing water pipes for Harim and the others in the early spring, and now he became famous in the whole county.
Even the county leaders said from time to time that during the Ethnic Unity Education Month in May, the supply and marketing cooperative was rated as an advanced unit for ethnic unity at the county and prefecture levels, and Director Wei was also elected as an advanced individual in ethnic unity.
This has to be written into the resume.
Therefore, Director Wei naturally favored Li Long. Li Long took the bullet to approve the note, and Director Wei doubled it directly and approved 400 rounds.
Li Long has been in the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time. Director Wei can see that this person knows the general knowledge and he will not do anything that is prone to trouble.
So he felt relieved.
Bullets are also hard currency for current herders. With guns and bullets, hunting is justified, and some rules can also be in a vague state.
The young men happily took the bullets, took them out.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Talihar became cheerful again. He took bullets from Li Long, rode a horse with his gun, and walked into the mountains while shouting to take a few preys.
Apparently, they plan to eat meat for lunch.
If anyone brings a gun, go find firewood. When they came out, they brought some naan. But now that I have arrived at the winter nest, I will prepare some fresh naan to eat.
Li Long brought the flour, although not much, it was enough to make dozens of naan. Harim has tools, so some people start to pick up water and make noodles.
Li Long chatted with Yu Shanjiang for a while and felt that it was not good to just look at it. He went to get some wild vegetables, then took out the net from the jeep and went to the stream, and found a place with a little gap to get the network card. live.
He has done a lot of things like guarding the net and waiting for fish. There are some small fish in these streams. Although there are not many, some will always appear after waiting for a long time.
Some people also went to nearby grasslands to clear out some shrubs that had grown in the year.
Most of them came to harvest grass last year and followed Li Long's harvester to know the process. Before the harvester comes to grazing, they have to clean up the stones and shrubs in the pasture, otherwise the blades of the harvester will be damaged.
All the stones were picked up, except for those that occasionally rolled down from higher mountains, there was basically no such thing, but the shrubs grew fast, and some fast-growing trees could grow in half a year, and the weight of the fingers was not easy to cut.
After Li Long cut the net, when he came back, he saw Harimu and Yu Shanjiang watching at the sheep pool. He walked over and said:
"When I'm going to wash the sheep next year, I'll come here to bring the medicine for you. Then bring the water there, pour the medicine in, and you can wash it."
"Hey, if you can wash here, then we have another amount of money we don't have to spend."
It costs money to wash a sheep, and it is not too much for two or three hundred sheep in a family. Although the money can be paid until the end of the year, it cannot be avoided after all.
It won’t work if you don’t wash it. Once the sheep have infectious skin diseases, it may be able to spread the entire sheep in the summer pasture in one summer.
A gentler thing is that the sheep shed hair and does not gain weight. The key thing may make the sheep thin and die.
So even if washing sheep is more expensive, you still have to wash it.
Now that Li Long has dug a sheep washing pond for them here, that's great.
Although Harim's pasture was cleared out, everyone in the entire tribe could come here to wash sheep, which saved only a few thousand yuan.
And the distance is also close. These herders from their tribe come to wash the sheep that day and can go back that day. Unlike when you go to the animal husbandry team, you will have to rush over for a day if you get away. You may have to queue up when washing, and you may not be able to come back on the day after washing.
Very troublesome!
Now more than a dozen herders share this sheep washing pond, and they only need to discuss that they can wash several households a day. It used to take half a month to work, but now it may be completed in three to five days.
How great!
Li Long said that he would provide medicine for washing sheep, and they believed it. All Li Long said in the past few years have been fulfilled, and they believe in Li Long.
In Li Long's eyes, it can be seen that the herdsmen are in the same tribe, so they have strong cohesion, even stronger cohesion than the people in the fourth team.
They also have a living in their eyes. Those who can hunt will go hunting, and those who can make naan are busy burning naan pits and kneading noodles.
If you can't do either, you go to the grassland to prepare for tomorrow's grass.
No one is idle, everyone talks and laughs, they are not slow, and no one is lazy.
Maybe because there are few people, maybe because they are in the same tribe, they have connections, and of course there may be other reasons.
Overall, the people from this tribe are very united.
I had lunch late, and four or five people rode out with guns. Only when Talihar came back was carrying a roe deer on his horse.
Everyone else came back empty-handed.
Li Long was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Talihar, who was scared out of his psychological shadow when he met the Daha Bear, succeeded in getting out of the shadow and became a better hunting place.
There was no need for Li Long to do it, Hari Mu Yu Shanjiang and the others quickly peeled the roe deer and cut it off. There are a lot of supplies on Li Long's jeep, and there is never a shortage of salt. They wiped the skin with salt and hung it on the grass. The remaining pieces of meat were broken down and cooked in a large pot.
Of course, not only cooking, but also roasting is a cooking method that young people like very much - the digging of the trough is still there and you can use it just by trimming it.
Li Long took advantage of Yushanjiang and others to take a look at the place where he was peeling the sheep. There were more than a dozen fish in the net, not many.
He didn't get the net, but turned back and greeted Harim, drove his jeep to the wooden house.
There are still some daily necessities in the wooden house, and it is useless to stay there, so I just moved it here.
Harim and the others only have one pot here, and Li Long plans to take the pot from there and put it here for use.
When Li Long brought the pot and grain back and went to look at the net, there were a few more fish in the net, which combined to look less than one kilogram.
Li Long treated the fish by the stream and then carried it to the winter nest.
The large pieces of roe deer meat have been cooked, and the fresh naan has been beaten out one by one. The aroma of the baked noodle product has been spread out all of a sudden, which is really tempting.
I was so hungry that I couldn't help but start to pick up a piece of naan and eat it.
The charcoal fire was already on the barbecue tank, and two young men were skewers there. Li Long put the fish aside first, moved a few stones and built a simple stove, then put the pot on it, took a bucket to pick up a bucket of water and poured it into the pot, and shoveled the red charcoal fire from another stove. I came over and placed it under the stove, added chopped wood on top of the red charcoal, and quickly set up the fire.
The young man who broke branches from the red willow tree by the stream ran back, hugged a big red willow branch and placed it on the ground. Those who had no work to do took out their knife and started cutting the red willow stickers.
Li Long also joined in, asking others about the situation in Xia Ranch.
"This year's grass in the summer ranch is very good! There are so many mushrooms in it, but we won't eat it." Talihar and Li Long were familiar with each other, and said while cutting, "The wolf who came to the summer ranch this year was here. This year, this year's wolf who went to the summer ranch There are also many, and they are very raped. As soon as we shoot, we run away. If we don’t shoot, they will attack the flock at night. "
"And bears, I saw a big ha bear with two little ha bears. I didn't bring a gun at that time and didn't dare to shoot." Another young man also said.
Some of them talk about the snow lotus, some of them talk about the snow leopards, some of them talk about the flocks of dozens of northern goats, and groups of wild goats, etc.
I can only say that the things in Tianshan are too rich. Some things that are rarely seen in the outer mountains are easy to see there.
As they were talking, some of them hoped that Li Long could bring some batteries back, and they planned to bring them back to Xia Ranch by then. Some people also said they wanted to bring something else. There is basically no shortage of daily necessities such as brick tea, salt, sugar cubes, and flour. All the things are missing are small things, but they are relatively short, such as needlework, batteries, etc. There is also a saying that medicine is not enough, mainly People from another tribe changed things with them and changed some medicines. I have enough medicine for myself, but there are still a few months left, so I am afraid that something will happen.
Li Long wrote down all of them.
Li Long also took it for granted that these people did not mention money.
They regarded Li Long as their own. They gave Li Long the things they brought over. They also took it for granted to Li Long for these things that were easy to buy in the county.
The cut sticks were quickly taken out of skewers and placed in large handfuls on the trough on the ground.
Two people who are recognized as good as barbecue were pushed to barbecue. The soup in the pot of cooking here was rolling out and rolling. Harim took a spoon and skipped the foam on it. They usually sprinkle a handful of salt in a cooking handful of meat, without any other ingredients.
The barbecue was cooked first. Li Long took a piece of baked naan that had just been baked and tore off a piece. He took the barbecue handed over by the young men and put it on top of the naan. He clamped the naan with his left hand and pumped it from the inside out to the barbecue. All of them were caught by the naan.
This is a simple meat bun. He threw the sticky stick into the grass and opened the naan in both hands to eat it.
The aroma of naan and the spicy cumin face of barbecue mixed with the taste of meat and flowed through the mouth and tongue. The feeling was really great.
The barbecue was roasted one by one, and the barbecue people did not leave. The last few skewers of meat they had, and they were grilling them while eating.
Harimu also had barbecue in his hand. While eating, he poked the meat cooked in the pot with a chopstick to see if it was rotten.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The meat of roe deer is not as mutton as domestic beef and mutton, and it has a mutton smell. However, when roasted, the taste of cumin and spicy noodles will overwhelm the bad taste.
Although the meat is large, the roaster is very skilled. The roasting is very tender and cooked.
Li Long ate five strings in a row, plus half a naan, and then he stopped eating. He planned to taste the cooked meat for a while.
As for the broth, I won’t drink it today, but he wants to drink fish soup today.
At this time, the water for the fish stewed pot was also opened. The puppy was tumbling in the pot. The meat rotted before long. The soup was not white because there was no oil in the pot, but it tasted very good.
Li Long cut the wild onions he had obtained before and threw them in, then removed some of the fire and slowly simmered them.
The longer this stew, the better.
The meal ended until almost six o'clock in the afternoon. A roe deer was eaten by everyone but had little meat left.
Everyone was very satisfied with eating. Someone wanted to drink, but was stopped by Yushanjiang.
Li Long had enough food and drink, and he took a break before saying goodbye to them, and then drove away in a jeep.
He also has to go back to the fourth team to pull someone over.
He would not be able to enter the mountain tomorrow. He would not be able to do anything but drive a tractor into the mountain, drive a jeep and follow him, then put the tractor in the mountain, and drive the jeep and send the person back.
In this way, you don’t need to live in the mountains, and you can save trouble by putting the tractor in the mountains.
Li Long now regrets that he sold the harvester in his yard at that time, so he has to go to the fourth team to pull the harvester that his elder brother has.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, when the grass-raising season is over, he plans to go to the agricultural machinery factory in Kuitun to pull a batch of harvesters.
Recently, someone has come to ask about the harvester, but not much.
After all, you need to use a harvester to make grass, as long as there is a tractor. There are not many people who can afford to buy a tractor right now.
Li Long drove his jeep back to the county, first went to the yard to unload the things given by those people, and piled them at the door of the east wing.
Xiao Hei came over as he smelled the smell, so Li Long had to open the wing room and put the things in, intending to wait until he came back to see it.
Gu Xiaoxia looked at so many things and asked:
"Have people from the mountains come down?"
"It's down." After Li Long put the things in, he locked the door and planned to play with his two children.
The children were crawling in the yard and playing. Gu Xiaoxia lay a mat with reeds on the brick floor in the yard, and another sheet was placed on it, and the child was lying on it.
At this time, the sun is blocked by the kitchen on the west side, and the child cannot be exposed. The dispersed sunlight can also supplement calcium for the child.
"You have a very strong smell. Wash and move the child." Gu Xiaoxia saw Li Long coming over, and the expressions of the two children who were originally smiling changed, and she immediately said.
"Then I'll go to the team to do something first." Li Long said, "Come back later and take a shower before holding the child."
Gu Xiaoxia responded, and Li Long drove out with the tractor head.
On the way back, Li Long thought about it and finally decided not to call him a brave laborer, it would be best to call him a father.
After all, everyone who has tractors is using them. Now is a more important period for fruit-bearing melons and fruits. Whether it is the eldest brother Li Jianguo, Tao Daqiang, Xie Yundong and others, they are all busy.
On the contrary, my father is likely to be caught and pulled the net, so he will help him get this done before he returns to his hometown. After all, it is good for my father to drive a tractor - of course, Li Long actually thinks that if my father can drive a jeep, he will drive a tractor by himself, but Li Qingxia has never driven a car, and Li Long dares not let go.
Security issues should still be taken seriously.
Li Qingxia just came back from the Internet, and Li Long drove a tractor into the yard. He thought it was Li Jianguo and the others who came back.
Li Long entered the yard and happened to see a harvester placed beside the wall with linoleum.
Li Long told Li Qingxia about this matter.
Before Li Qingxia could speak, Du Chunfang said directly:
"What's wrong with that? Let your father drive the tractor right next morning."
Li Qingxia even had his right to speak.
But this is also a big deal, so he nodded and said:
"I'll go and tell Daqiang's father later that he will go to sell fish by himself tomorrow, so I won't go."
"Then I'll take the harvester away first, and I'll drive over to pick you up tomorrow." Li Long said, "Otherwise, you won't be able to go there tomorrow. My elder brother and others will definitely have to use a tractor when they get off the floor, and they can't drive theirs."
Li Qingxia helped Li Long get the harvester on, and Li Long drove away.
Du Chunfang muttered that his son came back in a hurry and left in a hurry. Li Qingxia smiled and said:
"Then you go to his side and help him take the children?"
"Then... forget it. I want to watch my grandson, but I'm afraid I can't take care of it well. Two of them! That's so small..."
Li Qingxia was so happy that he didn't say anything, and just packed up the linoleum that the harvester pulled away.
When Li Jianguo came back, Li Qingxia told him about this matter. Li Jianguo meant that he would go there, and Li Qingxia would not let him go:
"What are you doing? You have to do the work in the field? I can't get medicine when I get melons. You are busy with your own things, just as I haven't been to the mountains for a long time. I'll go here to take a look." br>
Li Qingxia insisted, and there was indeed a lot of work in the field, so Li Jianguo just followed him.
When Li Long drove the tractor back to the big yard, the sun had completely set, the temperature outside slowly dropped, and the two children were already carried into the house by Gu Xiaoxia.
Sister Yang’s supper was ready, and Li Long washed it briefly, and planned to wash it well after dinner.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to get close to the children - after all, there is a lot of messy smell on your body today.
Nowadays, most families don’t pay attention to this and don’t care about that much at all. But the two children have a sensitive sense of smell, and Li Long still needs to pay attention.
He plans to buy what those people need tomorrow morning, and also see what Harim and the others have brought him.
You have to take a inventory and store it in a classified manner, and you have to sell what you need to sell.
Now, let’s have a meal first. (This chapter ends)
