Li Long took three tractors to Kadeer's pasture.
The grassland is located in a deep location, and this section of the road is not easy to walk. Along a small river, there are no roads in some places, so you have to trek into the river.
Fortunately, the off-road capabilities of the tractor and jeep are quite strong and can still walk through.
Turson also said on the road that there were actually some herders in the mountains further into the mountains, but those people could ride horses through the grassland, and the tractor could not drive it, so they had to give up.
After arriving at the grassland, Li Long saw that this area was indeed relatively flat, but the grass was really not growing very well.
He could see that the soil is of different quality. Previously, the two pastures were mainly humus soil, which was mainly loess and brown soil. There were also many stones mixed in the soil, and there were also few forests nearby.
Kadel's winter nest is also nearby, and milk tea and naan have been prepared.
Li Long took some of the things he brought from the jeep and handed them over to Li Jianguo and the others.
Sesame cakes, canned food, watermelon, etc. are mainly worried that they will not eat well here, and they also brought some medicine.
Li Long calculated all the money for three times, but didn't give it to them. After all, all three of them live here at night, so I am really afraid of attracting the attention of those who are interested with money.
Carder warmly greeted Li Long and the others to eat first and then work. Tursun left after eating half a piece of naan, and he still had something to do. The same is true for Li Long, but he left a little later, so he mainly wanted to inquire about the bear bile.
"Bear's gall?" Listening to Xie Yundong's translation, Carder shook his head, "If you don't sell this, we have to stay. This is a good medicine. We are preparing it, and it may be necessary in the future. It's use."
Okay, since he wants to use it, Li Long didn't force it. He asked about other things again, and as he had guessed, Tursun took away all the better things from these herders' homes.
Turson certainly did not take their belongings in vain. He would give them some supplies or give them some convenience in the animal husbandry team, such as the one who is slaughtering in advance now.
This is different from Li Long's exchange of supplies for Harimu and the others, and the water supply and grass production for them.
Li Long also saw that Carder's winter nest is more than 100 meters away from the water. Although it is gentle, it is not very convenient to use water.
It's just that he didn't mention the issue of water. These herdsmen were Turxun's tribe members, and Li Long was not interested in helping them.
No sense.
After chatting with Kade'er, Li Long talked to Li Jianguo and the others and drove back in a jeep.
The bear skin hasn't completely dried yet, so he plans to take it back and dry it as soon as possible.
Harim and the others should also pay attention. After all, there are three people here, and a group of people who are basically laymen are chariots. Li Long still has to go and check it out every day. One is a technical issue, and the other is still a matter of Let them be careful.
Li Long had a more reassuring thing, that is, Harim and others cleaned up the stones, stumps and other things in the grassland that hindered the grass cutting, and there was no blade being knocked off.
What surprised Li Long even more was that these herdsmen could basically pick up things every day.
But it's normal to think about it. Although there are pastures in the mountains now, in fact, these wild animals are still the main part of the world, especially wild goats, roe deer and northern goats, all appear in groups.
Five or six herders scattered out, and there must be some traces of prey found. Next is faster than guns or hooves.
So Li Long can basically bring some fresh meat and skin back every day. A week later, the herdsmen had cleaned the grasslands that needed to be beaten behind and returned to the grasslands in Harim. The grass here has almost dried and can be tied and transported back to the winter nest.
The grassland is usually not far from the winter nest. When Li Long came to see him, he saw Harim and others tied the grass close to him and took it directly to the winter nest. All the little ones were piled up together.
He knew that he was planning to take the truck to pull it after the tractor was harvested.
Li Long got off the jeep and went to help - but Harim drove him away. Now the tractor has hit Zat and the others, and Li Long needs on-site guidance there.
Li Long drove in the jeep. In fact, he felt that although it was beneficial to the grassland here was close to the forest, it was still very different from the grassland in Yili.
Although some grasslands over there are also on the mountain, there are basically no trees on the mountain, and they are all grass slopes. There is no need to pay attention to stones and tree stumps when cutting grass.
Now both Talihar and Zart are already skilled in driving tractors, and other herders are also learning slowly. Everyone knows that Yushanjiang holds the power to drive the tractor, and Yushanjiang sees who drives it. One of the big reasons is who brought the things to Li Long.
So every time Li Long can take his prey back, this is a big reason.
Li Long had told Yu Shanjiang in private, but Yu Shanjiang said that this was nothing, and he didn't let Li Long care.
After all, idleness is also idleness - in Yushanjiang's words, he is also improving his food for himself after playing.
Li Long just ran in three places every day, and it was quite hard to survive day by day.
The first one to complete was Li Jianguo and the others.
Although Tuerxun was determined to hand over all the grasslands of his tribe herders to Li Jianguo and others, some grasslands were in the deep mountains and the road was difficult to walk. Some people are because they can't wait to buy it themselves, while others think the price is relatively high and are unwilling or unable to take out the money.
So, Li Jianguo and his team spent thirteen days to build nine grasslands, and finally got 1,215 yuan.
The money was the last one to be paid. Li Long took Li Jianguo and the others back to the county town. After having a meal in the meat cafeteria, he settled the bill for the three people in person.
After making so much money in less than half a month, even Li Jianguo couldn't hold back his lips, and his smile was very sincere.
"Xiaolong, this shouldn't be the case." Xie Yundong took the money and suddenly said, "This job was introduced by you. Why do you say you have to draw some money? Otherwise, it would be too hot for us to hold this money. ? ”
“Yes, yes.” Liang Dacheng also said, “According to the original rules, half. For this thousand two hundred and fifteen, I will take advantage of it, and you will get six hundred and fifteen. Get six hundred!"
Xie Yundong was also counting the money and wanted to give Li Long half of it.
"No, no, no." Li Long waved his hand quickly, "This time he exchanged things for things. The prices of these things are higher than the actual price. I just need to make the difference.
Okay, you have been out for almost half a month and your hair and beard are growing. Hurry up and go back and wash it well, take a rest. I smelled the stinking. ”
”How can it not smell bad? I don’t take a shower, and I wash Hulimatang every day, and the place where I go to bed in the morning and evening is also very stinky. "Xie Yundong smiled, "But this money is really enjoyable! "
Since Li Long didn't want this interim fee, Xie Yundong and Liang Dacheng stopped insisting, and the three of them drove back together on the tractor.
Li Long was right, three thousand The amount of money he received was sold for more money, including leather, antlers, fritillaria, etc.
The jade, bloodstone and so on were extra. Seven pieces of jade have Although the two pieces of jade are not big, they have no black spots and no cracks. At least they can be rated as a first-class level. It is no problem to sell a thousand yuan.
Those three bloodstones cannot be estimated, but they should be worth a lot.
So Li Long definitely won't lose.
After another four days, Yu Shanjiang, Harim and others also ended. After the grass is beaten, the grass is dried and pulled to their respective winter nests to form tall haystacks.
This is the reliance for raising cattle and sheep in winter in each winter.
Although the beef and mutton in the market is slightly more than the original price-limited supply, it is still not enough to meet everyone's needs. Every autumn, people who raise sheep in the plains will come to collect the sheep.
These collected sheep will be enclosed and fattened, and will be slaughtered and sold until the winter is approaching the Chinese New Year.
Now the breeding of sheep has gradually grown to scale. In the future, more and more people are paying attention to this aspect, and some people with capital have begun to merge and become bigger and stronger.
Li Long once heard that in the next twenty or thirty years, at a special time, the price of beef and mutton in the north and south Xinjiang was in the hands of a very small number of people, not entirely in the hands of the market.
These people control the price trends of most fattening sheep. Unless they store meat in large quantities like the official clearing warehouse, they will pay for meat, and a few people will have the final say.
Of course, the price changes will be different after being impacted by large batches of beef and mutton from abroad or outside the province.
Li Long thought about whether he could make arrangements in advance. There are sugar slags from sugar factories for feed, and the herdsmen in the mountains can provide a large number of sources of cattle and sheep. This is actually something that can be done now.
After all, in the next few years, an inertia gradually formed. Herders who returned from the summer ranch usually eliminated a batch of sheep around October.
On the one hand, we clear out the cattle and sheep in the flock, and on the other hand, we exchange some money for the supplies to live in the winter nest later.
At this time, the cattle and sheep traders usually purchase these cattle and sheep in large quantities, take them back to fatten them in the pen and sell them in the winter.
At this time, the prices of cattle and sheep are very low, whether it is the official and spontaneously created live cattle and sheep. Ordinary people think that eating good meat in winter may also buy one or two ends in such a market, but those dealers buy dozens of ends.
Li Long just flashed this idea. He currently has no place to store cattle and sheep. It can be stored in Laoma, but it will not exceed 200 sheep or fifty cows.
And if you really have to do so much, Uncle Luo can't take care of it and has to find someone to support him.
Wait first.
It was because the sugar slag matter had further development that he had this idea.
After all, sugar slag is really good feed.
Li Long was wondering if he could expand the wastelands near Lao Ma. Anyway, the land has not been certified for a short period of time. Let’s talk to the team about the nearby areas, which are considered to be affiliated places of Lao Ma, and some places are added, or pay some money to the team to rent them.
Thirty years later, all production teams, including the township, will support such industries, and will even provide subsidies. Although there is no support at present, the team should support it, right?
The last meal I cooked was cooked in Harim's winter nest.
The grass was finished yesterday. This morning, anyone with guns was driven out by Yushanjiang to hunt. When they came back at noon, they had three wild goats, one red deer and two roe deer. .
Recently, there have been constant gunfire in this valley. Something like a cunning wolf has long been running far away and has not hit a single head.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
On the contrary, those herbivores are relatively slow. Even the alert Madei just ran out of a few ravines and would not go too far.
Cook some of all kinds of meat in the big pot in front of the winter nest. The skin is peeling quickly and the flesh is being untied. Some of them had to be dried into air-dried meat and were taken to eat on the way, but most of them were left to Li Long for him to take them back.
Especially those miscellaneous items were handed over to Li Long.
This time, Li Long drove his jeep and pulled his eldest brother Li Jianguo over.
The work in the melon field is almost over. The rest are waiting to be picked and pressed.
So Li Jianguo was not very busy either - more than half of them were to be brought back to the fourth team when he was pulling things back.
In this year, entertainment activities are still quite monotonous. The same goes for food.
Although there are so many good meats, everyone mainly cooks and roasts.
Li Jianguo felt a bit wasteful when he saw it, so he asked for a pot of wild vegetables and some spicy face, and directly braised and fried a pot of venison.
At the beginning, the herdsmen were just watching. Li Jianguo and Li Long's elder brother, no matter what, he still has to give him this little face. And they cook the things they cook. Most people mean that they eat a few bites when the food is served.
Kazakhs also have stir-fry dishes, the most famous of which is Kazakh potato slices. There are still fewer fried meats, so naturally there are no braised ones.
Li Jianguo said while frying, there were insufficient ingredients, such as dry chili, green chili, and even cooking wine.
Li Long hurried to the jeep to get a bottle of white wine.
When Li Jianguo saw the song of the ancient city, he smiled and said, "This is a bit wasteful inside...but that's OK." He unscrewed the lid of the bottle and took a sip first. , and then poured a third of the bottle into the pot - mainly because it was fried more and could hold a basin.
There is a lot of meat, and the fried one is real.
As soon as the wine was sprinkled, many people sighed as a pity.
These days, it’s not that no one reminded Li Long openly or secretly whether he could bring some wine over. Li Long’s jeep had wine in his jeep, but he just didn’t take it out. The main reason was that these people couldn’t control themselves if they drank too much.
The people he had seen were some too honest people who were drunk and turned into another person.
So someone who wanted to drink was watching Li Jianguo pour the wine into it, and while saying it was a pity, he thought that he would have to eat a few pieces of wine in a while.
Wine is used to suppress the smell of wild animals, otherwise it will taste bad.
It is also possible to braised with braised jeep. There are many ingredients in Li Long's jeep, not only wine, but also spicy face, vinegar and soy sauce, and ingredients like Daxiang.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get two deer for Li Jianguo.
After a while, the fragrance spreads. There is the aroma of barbecue and the aroma of boiled meat, but none of them cover the aroma of braised venison.
There are more people around here.
There are many people, and the work is fast. The skin has been put on salt and dried, the internal organs have been washed and loaded, the air-dried meat has been hung, and the meat taken away by Li Long and the others has also been loaded in. In the bag.
The naan has been baked more than a dozen pieces, and the barbecue has slowly begun to be eaten.
"Get a basin, the meat is almost the same, it can be served!" Li Jianguo's face was already sweating. In order to take care of so many people, he cut a lot of meat, and it was quite tiring to stir-fry the meat continuously.
He took the shovel and shoveled out a piece of bone-shaped meat and blew it on and started eating. It tasted good, so he took the basin handed over by Li Long and started shoveling the meat inward with the edge of the pot.
Li Long hurriedly removed the fire below, otherwise it would be better to stick to the pan.
A pot of braised venison was placed on the temporary wood. Li Jianguo said: "Everyone try it. You can eat it directly with chopsticks. It's okay to get a piece of it and put it in the naan. OK."
Li Long picked up the pot and put it aside, soaked it in some water first. Seeing that the others were embarrassed to move, he smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite." He went to get the enamel basin and pulled a few pieces of meat for himself, and then went to the side of the naan pit to get it. After I took a newly made naan, I walked over and broke it for my elder brother, I sat on the wood beside me and started eating.
With Li Long's proofing, others also made more or less venison to eat.
Two people stopped eating after eating two pieces, while more people continued to serve some and started eating after eating two pieces.
Obviously, they are still very acceptable to the taste of braised venison.
Some people couldn't help but give Li Jianguo a thumbs up. Li Jianguo was eating meat and smiling reservedly.
This meal was very full. When Li Long and the others left, they still had a few pieces of cooked meat.
This is what Harimu and Yu Shanjiang forced to Li Long and others to take back for food for their family members.
Li Long also left behind several bags of rice and flour, as well as batteries and salt, etc. things that everyone had previously suggested that they needed to bring back to the Xia Ranch.
Li Long has brought some things every day just like an ant moving, so that he can bring two bags of rice and flour, a pot of oil, brick tea, salt and other things when he goes back.
Although some people say there is, it’s okay if there are too many of these things, but it’s hard to deal with if there are too fewer them.
Everyone kept the things Li Long brought with him properly, especially those medicines. They all learned to Harim and wrote the marks they recognized on it, which was a life-saving time.
Li Long drove a jeep in front and Li Jianguo drove a tractor in back. When he passed by Qingshuihe Village, Li Long saw that the Jiji pole had started to turn yellow. It seemed that it was almost time to tie a big broom.
I don’t know if there will be more tasks for building a big broom this year?
But it doesn't matter, even if there isn't, Li Long feels nothing else. He has made enough money this year, and it would be icing on the cake if he has more, and it would be harmless if he has less.
So Li Long didn't care much.
Of course he knew that Meng Hai and the others were very concerned. After all, it was a few people who made money by making a big broom, but it was a whole village who made money by making money by making a big broom.
At this time, most village cadres really thought about bringing some benefits to their villagers and leading the villagers to become rich.
A car and tractor were driven into the large yard, and Li Jianguo's harvester was placed here without any intention of moving.
Li Long drove a jeep to deliver the elder brother and the meat he was about to give to his elder brother's house, and then came back.
He also had to help Sister Yang get rid of the meat, otherwise it would be easy to get broken.
At this time, Li Long really missed the days when he had a refrigerator and freezer. (This chapter ends)
