Leather, antlers, jade…
People who have been grazing from these mountains for generations do not pay much attention to these things produced in the mountains, but for those who have entered the system, often move around in the county, and have some understanding of the market prices, these Maybe they are all good things that can be exchanged for money!
As the captain of the pastoral team, he received more things from herders throughout the year, or the things that the herders gave him to for convenience of doing things, were definitely more than Li Long got!
Most herdsmen don’t know much about these things, and they usually give gifts or use them for their own use.
In about ten years, the herdsmen who are closer to the outside mountains will generally sell the things they have picked up. At this time, there is no such concept.
Originally, Tuerxun didn't pay much attention to this small tribe. After all, there were only a dozen herders, and the hundreds of herders in the pastoral team he managed were nothing. The main reason why he could catch his eyes was because the tractor brought a harvester to make straw, which was something that the leader could pay attention to.
Unexpectedly, this question asked something else, Tursun couldn't help but raise his voice:
"Don't you know that those things can be sold for money? You just handed over the Han people in vain?"
He said this, and he felt nothing, and Adili didn't feel nothing. After all, in their opinion, it wasn't that stupid to hand over the valuable things he could leave behind to others that he could leave behind?
But when Yu Shanjiang and Harimo's ears became scent.
The other herders' eyes were not good.
Although they are managed by the animal husbandry team, they still do the main things themselves, which is not much different from the past when they switched in winter and summer, slashed grass in autumn, and washed sheep in spring.
The greatest promoting effect of the pastoral team on them is that they will collect sheep regularly to give them a fixed income; they will provide certain protection for their families, and the elderly and children do not need to suffer from the summer ranch; there is a place to wash sheep, and someone to collect the wool. wait.
For Harim, who has elderly children at home, and hopes that children can go to school better, but for young people, the feeling is not profound.
Instead, they were very impressed by the help and exchange provided by Li Long.
So as soon as Tuerson said this, Harim and Yu Shanjiang had not said anything, and the young herders had bad eyes.
Yushanjiang pulled the two herdsmen apart, and he walked to Tursun and said:
"Captain Tursun, we know that those things can be sold for money. However, we are willing to hand over these things to Li Long. Well, it has nothing to do with whether the money is rich, because when Li Long came to make grass for us last year, we didn't have anything to do with it. He didn't give it, and he didn't ask for money either. He and us are friends, real friends.
So, if we give these things to him, they are gifts, and they have nothing to do with whether they are money or not. ”
Before Tursun realized that he had committed public anger, he was still scolding the herdsmen in his heart that he was really stupid. Can't such a good thing be sold and exchanged for money and then hired people to make money?
"Do you think we are stupid?" Harim is not as good-tempered as Yu Shanjiang. Among these people, he was the first to know Li Long, and he benefited the most from the exchange with Li Long, so he didn't say good things when he spoke:
< br>
"I tell you, Li Long said more than once that he took advantage of us, and the things we gave him were valuable - but we would!
I know what you are doing. Isn’t it just because we drive a tractor to make grass? Do you also want other herders to use tractors when making grass? Do other people have no skin, no jade, and no antlers?
Why don’t they exchange money and hire people to make straw? Is this a problem that money can solve?
Let me tell you that when Li Long first exchanged supplies with us, he had already told us clearly that he took advantage, but we felt that we were actually taking advantage!
There are so many things in the mountains, and so many years have passed. Didn’t we think about going out to exchange for money for rice and white flour, brick tea and salt for sugar cubes? That's because we can't go out and change it, or we're cheated. Some people can't even speak Chinese, so who can't change it for us? Have you changed our pastoral team for us? ”
Harim's words resonated with other young men. Many of them also learned Mandarin because Li Long had only been here for two years, and he didn't speak it before.
I can't speak Mandarin, and even if I go down the mountain to find someone to change it, I won't understand what they say, and I'm also prone to being cheated, suspected, or deceived.
In their opinion, it is really fair to change things in the past two years of Li Long's stay, and Li Long will take the initiative to help them do something.
After doing these things, even a fool can see that Li Long is really helping them improve their lives after doing them.
Even if Li Long would say that he took advantage of this advantage every time he gave something, they willingly let Li Long take advantage of this advantage.
And in their opinion, they actually took advantage.
Tursun was angry, but he had nothing to say.
He was actually guilty. The animal husbandry team has been established, what are the superiors asking for? The leaders of the Animal Husbandry Bureau also said that those who are the captains should consider how to ensure the production and life of the herdsmen.
What's the result? Tuerxun took this as a warning. In his opinion, those tribes should take care of more and more, and their tribes should take care of more. As for the small tribe where Yushanjiang and others are located, it has been dozens or hundreds of years. It's all about living here, and nothing big is going to happen.
Then let's do it like this first.
If it weren't for the mechanical slaughtering, Tursun wouldn't have come here specifically.
Then it was like poking a hornet's nest. Things he didn't care about were a major event in life for ordinary herdsmen.
Harim's words made Tursun unable to get out of Taiwan, so Adili hurried over to smooth things over:
"Isn't this captain here? Our animal husbandry team has only been established for two years, and things have to be done one by one. Harim, haven't your mother and baby been to school in the animal husbandry team? The team also regularly accepts you. Give you money to sheep and wool - aren’t these things done, step by step! ”
Adili is quite good, at least in the eyes of these herdsmen, so Harim didn't say anything else.
Yu Shanjiang knew that these topics could not be expanded, and if they expanded, they could only quarrel, so he said:
"The captain came here to make grass for this harvester, right? We can't be the leader of Li Long. We will use the harvester brought by the tractor for at least half a month..."
When Tursun heard that they would use it for half a month, he didn't look very good, so the other herders didn't have much time to use it.
However, Yu Shanjiang's words gave him hope:
"I heard from Li Long that he organized several tractors, all with harvesters. So if you want other herders to use harvesters to make grass, you can discuss with him tomorrow when Li Long comes. He agreed to make grass there, that's fine - as for the reward, you can discuss it yourself, it's OK if he doesn't want money."
Tursun's expression was better after hearing this. Harim's words just now made him a little bit out of Taiwan, so after listening to them, he and Adili left.
After they left, Harim couldn't help but complain to Yushanjiang:
"What are your ideas for them? What if Li Long really doesn't want money to make grass for them, wouldn't that be a waste of work?"
"Don't worry," Yu Shanjiang patted Harim's shoulder and said with a smile, "Do you think Li Long is so stupid? Don't worry, Li Long will ask for a fair price."
After saying that, Yu Shanjiang waved his hand:
"Okay, let's continue. I'm going to hunt if I can hunt. If I don't want to chew dry naan at night, I'll try my best to find something delicious..."
These herders should do whatever they should do immediately.
Harim felt uncomfortable thinking that Tursun would come tomorrow. Today, his pasture can be cleaned. He plans to go to the pasture in Yushanjiang tomorrow, but he will be clean.
But thinking about it doesn't work, so I have to remind Li Long. Although Yu Shanjiang said that Li Long is not stupid, Harim is still worried that Li Long will be fooled.
This Tursun was originally a herdsman from other tribes. Later, for other reasons, he became the team leader first, and later became the team leader step by step.
Due to policy reasons, a certain proportion of ethnic cadres is required, so he has the final say in the pastoral team.
Harimu Yushanjiang and the others knew that Tuerxun was the captain and took great care of his own tribe members, but Harimu and the others didn't care, just live their own life.
But at the moment, Tuerxun obviously wants to cheat Li Long, and Harim can never tolerate this.
Li Long went back to do his own thing, not knowing that these miscellaneous things happened in the mountains after he left.
The next day, Li Long had breakfast and played with his two children who were so handsome that he drove his jeep to the mountains.
When he passed by Qingshui River, he found that the village had become much quieter. The wheat here has almost been harvested. Most of the wheat has been paid for public grain, and most of the rest is working in the field.
In addition to wheat, the crops grown in Qingshui River also include corn, rapeseed, etc., which are crops that are more common in daily household use and can solve the problem of family food and clothing. As for cash crops, they cannot be spread out on a large scale at present, and farmers with less land are unwilling to plant them. After all, they will eat enough and eat fine grains first.
Going further forward, a large area of sedge grass has grown out. It seems that the cherry blossoms have completely dispersed, and the pole has also changed from the original green to the blue-white. It seems that it can be cut almost.
For Li Long, the sedge grass carries many memories, or for people of this era.
When the new stems of the sedges have just grown and before the cherry leaves are produced, the children will be very happy to pull out these sedges because their roots are tender and sweet, which is one of the few children this season snack.
In winter, the uncut sedge grass became good things for boys to ignite. They put a handful of sedge grass into their hands and lit it with matches. The dried sedge grass stems on them were burned. When you reach one hand, it becomes a torch. If you hold it tightly, it will start to have an open fire. If you hold it loosely, it will burn. If you hold it, you can go to other Jiji piles to attract fire.
At this time, if you bring two potatoes and put them directly into the burning pile of sedge grass. When the fire is extinguished, the potatoes will be cooked in a while. Although it is black outside, the flesh inside is rustling and fragrant.
Li Long can also see that some of the roots of the Spiegel grasses are slightly dark, which is what was burned last year. The burned spina spina spina will grow faster when new spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spina spi
Walk further in and you will reach Hongshanzuizi. Li Long thought that Yushanjiang and the others could drive the tractor by themselves, so he went to the wooden house to see if there was any situation there.
The wooden house is considered a "home" in his mountain, and he doesn't want this place to be destroyed by those wandering people in the mountains.
When he arrived at the wooden house, Li Long found that the door lock was good and there was a trace of someone coming, but in the end no one prying the door here to disturb him.
good.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
However, there is less firewood and coal in the shed, and someone has moved the stove, so it may have burned it here.
Li Long looked around and wondered if he would build another simple open house nearby in the future for some people to live in so as not to come and pry the door.
Thinking too much.
He got into the jeep and drove to Harim's winter nest again.
As soon as the jeep arrived in front of the winter nest, he saw Tursun and Adili.
Li Long knew Adili, and he had never seen Tuerson before, but to be honest, even if he had never seen him, seeing the positions of Adili and Tuerson, Li Long probably guessed that this person was at least the animal husbandry team. The captain may have a higher position.
Yushanjiang was not there, and other herders were not there. Only Harim was at the stove, so he should be cooking meat.
Li Long could see that Harim and Adili stood far and did not even communicate. From a distance, Harim's expression was not very good, and Li Long roughly understood what was going on.
In order to show sincerity, Tursun and Adili came along to greet him when he saw the Jeep, with a smile on his face.
He thought Li Long would drive a jeep to him and stop, but unexpectedly, Li Long's jeep passed by him and drove directly to the door of Dongwozi.
Harim, who had been paying attention to the situation here, couldn't help laughing, and then he quickly turned around, not wanting Tursun and Adili to see it.
Li Long got off the jeep and asked in a low voice before Tursun and Adili came:
"Did they come over and want to use a harvester to make grass?"
"Yes, you can just ask for money, don't be polite to them!" Harim also said in a low voice.
Li Long then learned that the relationship between this stranger and Adili and Harim should not be very good.
So since the other party took the initiative to come, Li Long had to measure what kind of knife to slaughter the customer.
The harvest season is not yet reached, so it should not be difficult to have more than ten days left. Li Long himself is not short of money, but the team's elder brother, Xie Yundong, Tao Daqiang and others definitely have not earned enough money.
If we really agree, let them go and fight grass, wouldn’t both worlds be beautiful?
Li Long turned around and faced Tursun and Adili who were walking over.
As the intermediary, Adili took the initiative to introduce to Li Long:
"Hello Comrade Li Long, this is Tuerson, the captain of our animal husbandry team. He has known you for a long time, but he has never met you because of his busy work."
"Hello Captain Tursun." Li Long shook hands with the other party very politely, "Why are you here today? Are you here to see Harimu and the others?"
"Yes, yes, we heard that you used a tractor to bring a harvester to make straw for them, so we were very curious, so we came and have a look." Tuerxun was ignored by Li Long's jeep just now. Although he was a little angry, After all, he became the captain and was a little scheming. At this time, he smiled and said, "As soon as nothing happened, I said, "
"I also hope Comrade Li Long can support the other herdsmen's grass-making work. You are familiar with Hari Mu Yushanjiang and others. You should know that the grass-making work is very tiring. It takes only one month to do it, and it is very hard!" br>
"Yes, it's really hard." Li Long responded, then turned his head and asked Harimu, "What kind of meat is cooked in the pot?"
"Zach and Talihar fought a wild goat yesterday afternoon."
"It's very good," Li Long nodded with a smile, and then said to Tursun, "It just so happens that the captain and the deputy captain are here. Try this wild goat meat, which has a unique flavor."
Seeing that Li Long did not respond, Tursun was a little unhappy, but Adili responded quickly, and he said to Li Long directly:
"Comrade Li Long, I know you work in the county and know a lot of people. Can you introduce others to help other herders in our team to get some grass..."
Li Long's machine is here to make grass, so he must be unable to take it away. Adili thought it was very clear. Yu Shanjiang said it very clearly yesterday. He was afraid that Tursun would be angry and said the wrong thing. Good things Broken.
After all, he also has a group of people he knows and wants to use a tractor to make straw, which can save a lot of time and people don’t have to be so tired.
"There are people and machines. But now everyone is busy in the field and has no time to take out time to come and make grass for you... They know me, so I can't let others come here for nothing, right?" Li Long said The essence of the problem.
"I have a good relationship with Harimu Yushanjiang and others. I can't make grass for them for free. I have nothing to do with other herders. Besides, Harimu and others are also sorry and gave me a lot of things. So, this matter, you can see Look."
After Li Long said this, both Adili and Yu Shanjiang understood that it was impossible to make money by the wolf.
"Then why do you charge?" Tursun always felt a little frustrated. Now that Li Long said the actual things, he was relaxed. At worst, he could negotiate the price.
"When we harvest wheat, one acre of land costs two yuan." Li Long said slowly.
"What? Two dollars? Is it too expensive?" Tursun shouted angrily after hearing this.
The main reason is that the pastoral herdsmen’s pastures are different from arable land, and they are generally larger.
For example, Harim, his pasture is 300 acres.
At Li Long's price, he would have to pay 600 yuan alone.
There are other ones larger than their grassland, and more than one thousand acres.
How much does it cost to use a harvester to make such a large grassland?
"I'm telling the truth, you can go to the county to ask about the price." Li Long said, "Of course, if you really want our people to harvest, then I can also lower the price. After all, supporting herdsmen is what we should do. .”
How much can it be reduced? Tursun's heart thumped. (This chapter ends)
