Cutting the sedges is not a tiring job, but if you want to build a qualified broom, the sedges should be long, the poles should be evenly thick and thin, and a certain number of red willow skewers should be equipped to avoid breaking because the sedges are too crisp.
This year, the price of the large broom of the Syringa grass has increased, and the number is also large. Everyone is thinking about making more pocket money in the gap between harvesting corn and sunflower. Not to mention anything else, work hard for half a month to give it to one. It’s okay for the old and young to make clothes.
So not only adults are working, but children over seven or eight are also busy.
The children will go to Hongliu Beach to break red willow branches after school. Before dark, they will hold their red willow branches home. They will definitely hear their parents' praise.
Some older children will hit their minds on the thick poles in Hongliu Beach, and even quarrel and push over a pole.
Usually, it cannot be beaten because such a pole cannot be broken with the child's ability and needs to go back to tell the adults.
This is the third year of tying a broom, and the pole is definitely not enough, so everyone starts cutting the sedge grass, drying it, holding the planting stakes and wires to tie up the broom first, and then waiting for the pole.
So every morning, you can hear the sound of nailing piles in the yards of each household.
Some people think that the yard at home is not spacious enough, so they will go to the gate or on the wheat field to tie a broom and bring it back after it is tied.
Often the couple is together, the wife brushes off the excess leaves on the stem of the sedensis, and starts, and the husband is the main force to prick.
Some young people are not very good at pricking, so they learn from their parents. Now everyone knows that this is a long-term job, and the quality gossip that Li Long said has spread throughout the village.
Now everyone will be more proud when building a big broom, and will be more attentive. After all, if the quality is not up to standard, it will be a slap in the face of the fourth team.
When Li Long talked about this in Qingshui River, Li Jianguo drove a tractor and had already pulled the person to the wooden house in the mountains.
In addition to Lu Yingming, there were five people including Tao Jianshe, Jia Weidong, He Jianxin, Wei Dahai, etc.
Apart from Jia Weidong, who was younger, the others were all in their thirties and forties, and they were all in the same group as Li Jianguo and the others.
At that time, Lu Yingming wanted to chop the pole with Li Jianguo. Li Jianguo asked him to call a few more people, and Lu Yingming called these people up. Jia Weidong was talking about things with Tao Daqiang at that time, and it happened to follow him.
He walked into the mountains and knew that there were many poles in some ditches in the mountains. As long as he was under the banner of Li Long, he would definitely not be caught by the forest ranger.
A pole costs seven or eight cents, and it is no problem to cut more than 100 poles a day. It is much faster than making money by tying a big broom.
The main reason is that the competition in the nearby team is too fierce. He doesn't want to participate in the competition, so he simply changes the track.
What Li Jianguo didn't expect was that someone lived in the wooden house - he didn't know the people living there.
Li Jianguo knew that Li Long had asked the little grandson who was digging Fritillaria to live for a while, but now these two people are obviously not.
The two people were a little confused when they looked at Li Jianguo and the others, but they still tried to calmly ask Li Jianguo who got off the car with a stick: "What are you doing?"
"What are we doing? What are we asking you?" Lu Yingming and others knew Sun Jiaqiang. When they saw that these two were obviously not, they looked at the door and saw that the lock was pried off. They jumped off with machetes. After tractor, he asked loudly: "Do you know who this room is, you live here? You dare to pick the lock? I think you are impatient!"
Li Jianguo and his team were numerous and powerful, and they were also possessed, so they were very strong.
"Then...that can't be proved to be yours!" Although the two men were a little guilty, they were unwilling to give up such a good place. The first one said, "There is no such thing in this." People..."
"If no one can pry someone's lock?" Li Jianguo walked over with a shaking hand, "Put down the stick, I'll see what the disaster inside will cause you . If the wooden kang is broken and the things are broken, you can wait and pay for it! ”
He pulled the two of them into the big room, looking at the bedding and pots that were already used inside The stove, the messy pickled jar and the enamel basin filled with oil, makes the eyes look bad.
"You two are brave." Li Jianguo went to look at the small room again and found that some things were used up, and there were two sacks in the room. He bent over and flipped over and found that There are dried mushrooms and other things inside, but not many.
I think those forest rangers come over from time to time, and these two people have not lived in for a long time.
"Tell you clearly that this wooden house belongs to my house. You used the things inside, and not only wasted a lot, but it was also dirty, which will not be easy to use in the future. Now you go and get the things inside. Wash it, wash it clean, otherwise you won't be beaten to death! "
Lu Yingming said several words that they did not admit it. Li Jianguo didn't care whether they admitted it or not, and just put his hat on it. These two are honest Now.
After all, there are still a few people watching them with machetes. If they don’t do it, Li Jianguo would really take them to chop them up with them and even if they call the police, there would be no place to report them.
Although the two looked reluctant, they could only throw away the sticks obediently, one cleaned the house and the other washed the bedding. The two had to fight for a while at the beginning, but they didn't want to wash it. As a result, Li Jianguo picked it up When the stick is raised, there is no dispute immediately.
The others were not idle either, so they took off the bedding from the tractor, divided the six people into two groups, four people in the big room and two people in the small room. Anyway, they came out to work and make money, so it would not affect the squeeze.
Li Jianguo and the others did not make things difficult for these two people, so they asked them to wash the bedding and clean the messy things in the house, so they let them leave.
When leaving, Li Jianguo scared them, told them that they had already recorded them and would tell other forest rangers that if they came here to cause damage in the future, they would arrest them.
The two people immediately ran into the woods with their own things. The two people were actually thinking about revenge, but after hearing what Li Jianguo said, these two people did not dare to have anything else. idea. Among these people, he watched Li Jianguo carry a hunting rifle, and they also knew that the forest rangers were carrying guns and were really caught and could not even escape.
Li Jianguo and the others brought their own dry food and naan, and this time there was no one to cook. I thought that one person would chop well a day, cutting more than 100 poles, and six people could get seven or eight hundred poles a day, and in three or five days, I would get the same poles needed by the whole team, so I went back directly.
So just eat and so on. Fortunately, there are mushrooms on the grass nearby and some wild vegetables can be picked. Boil water and blanch it briefly. Add vinegar and oil to stir the hot buns and mix them with cold.
Of course red tofu is indispensable.
Li Long told Li Jianguo that his original intention was to build four thousand teams and 4,000 Qingshui River, which was enough. Of course, if there is a high quality and fast positioning, it will be fine to end early.
So Li Jianguo thought that these six people could cut poles in three or five days - after all, there were places near the team that could cut poles, and there should be no big problem with nearly a thousand poles.
The key is to go in and out quickly, and you can still get a big broom when you go back. After all, the first few days were mainly cut and dried. Now the sedges used for everyone to use large brooms are all spare parts in front.
Li Long’s next step is to collect the broom every day, which is more troublesome.
But this has to be done. He also thought about it himself. He went to Qingshui River in the first half of the day and the fourth team in the second half of the day. He didn't have to go too early. It was just like going to work. He went early and returned early, and he would collect as much as he would.
Li Long was a little worried when he thought about driving a tractor behind him. I originally thought that it would be easier to build a car, but now it seems that it is not enough to have a jeep alone. Based on my current situation, it is best to build a truck.
There are currently no trucks sold to private individuals, so they must be affiliated with units, transportation companies, car teams, or major units with transportation business.
Li Long was thinking about whether he would have finished this work. Then he asked Li Xiangqian or Director Qian to see if there were any second-hand trucks in other places.
After all, I have a lot of work every year, just lifting the handrail, pulling the big broom, and sugar slag.
Just looking for someone else's car has to be used after get off work, which is quite troublesome.
Because of that rumor, Li Long attached great importance to this big broom. He didn't want to be unable to do this job again because of the quality of one or two big brooms. In fact, in his previous life, this job was gone in less than a few years.
So Li Long believed in this and paid more attention to it. He planned to take the broom every day and put it in his own yard. The yard is big and can be piled up. When I can’t pile up, I will send it to the supply and marketing cooperative as soon as I send it to the supply and marketing cooperative.
After dinner in the early morning, Gu Xiaoxia played with her two children for a while before going to work, while Li Long put the jeep aside and drove the tractor to Qingshuihe to collect the broom.
I have to say that the efficiency of Qingshui River is indeed higher, and I cherish this opportunity this year even more. I handed over more than 300 brooms on the first day.
After Li Long checked, he found that there were 301 qualified ones, many of them.
There are wooden shelves tied to the tractor, otherwise these three hundred brooms would not be able to be pulled away. "If this happens every day, my mission will be completed in ten days." Li Long said to He Yuqing and Meng Hai who were helping with the inspection with a smile. "It's not that easy." Meng Hai shook his head: "It's because the team members have prepared some Jiji in advance. These Jiji can be used up in two days. Next, It also needs to be prepared. The sedge grass has to be cut and dried, and it will be peeled. It will definitely be slower later. "Li Long is right to think about it, and he can't hurry, but the passing rate of these big brooms is quite high, and he is quite satisfied.
The money was paid on site, so the team members were naturally very satisfied.
Li Long went back after lunch, otherwise He Yuqing would not let him go. When he left, he brought him some peeled alpine loaches and two roosters and two hens.
"We don't have any specialties in our village, and I don't know what to give you. If you take these things to your family to replenish your body, it can be considered as the wish of our team."
Li Long brought it with him without refusing. He told He Yuqing that he would definitely not have lunch tomorrow and that he would go to other teams to collect big brooms in the afternoon, and it was too late.
After he said this, He Yuqing and Meng Hai looked at each other and understood that their team had strong competitors.
Don't take it lightly!
Li Long kept pulling the big broom back to the big yard. After unloading it, he handed the chicken and fish to Sister Yang. After eating two tooth melons, he unloaded the big broom and went there again without time to rest. Four teams.
He went to the captain's house, and Xu Chengjun was building a big broom in the yard, looking at two of them already tied in the yard. Ma Hongmei, wearing a headscarf, was spreading the newly cut splendened grass in the yard and drying it.
Seeing Li Long coming over with a tractor, Xu Chengjun didn't get up and asked, "What, what's this for?"
"What else can I do? I'll collect the big broom." Li Long said with a smile, "It's been a day or two, and the team should be able to build a lot, right? I have to take back the broom, otherwise I'll accumulate more by then. It’s not easy to collect.”
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"That's right. Just right, I've just ripped two pieces today, see if it's OK." Xu Chengjun pointed to the two brooms next to him, "There shouldn't be many in the team, mainly because there are too few poles. "
"It counts as much as you have." Li Long pointed to the inner room and said, "I'll finish calling first, and then look at you." "
"Okay."
Li Long entered the room, turned on the electric switch of the loudspeaker, and shouted after trying the sound.
Say it three times in a row, the main content is that every afternoon, I will wait for the big broom to be collected in the Li family yard. In two hours, the big broom can be sent for inspection and acceptance. The acceptance is qualified. Pay on the spot.
After saying that, Li Long turned off the loudspeaker, walked out to Xu Chengjun, and said half-jokingly: "Captain, don't look at our good relationship. If you don't meet the requirements, I won't accept it. .”
“Don’t worry, after all, I was trained from the army, so I won’t do that kind of thing. You check it carefully. The reputation of our fourth team is important.”
Li Long picked up a big broom and pulled the sedge grass in the middle hard, but didn't pull it off.
He has strong strength, so he uses his own strength as the standard. If he pulls it down, he will not be qualified, and if he can't pull it down, he will be qualified.
Of course, ordinary people can't pull off the seddenia in the middle by big brooms. After all, they use planting seddenia to plant them in.
Even if it is not qualified, it is not something that ordinary people can pull it out. It is just that the force used when sweeping the floor is different. If it is not strong, it may start to fall off in three to five days, and then it will be useless.
Li Long didn't pull it off. Seeing the big broom being properly tied, he smiled and said:
"This is qualified, three or five yuan."
The same goes for the other hand. Li Long put two brooms into the tractor truck bucket, took out the money and counted seven yuan to hand it to Xu Chengjun. "Hey, it's not bad." Xu Chengjun took the money and put it in his left top pocket, buttoned it and pressed it, and said, "Then you go busy. I'll see if I can tick it two more when it gets dark. ”
Li Long drove the tractor back to his front yard, turned off the engine and got out of the car and went to the back yard to meet my mother.
The sister-in-law is not here, and my mother Du Chunfang said she is going to get melon fields.
"Your sister-in-law said there is a sedge grass on the ground. She cut some of it back and could she put some big brooms when she saw it."
Li Long naturally knew that in the eyes of her sister-in-law, putting big brooms is a piece of work. Although it makes money, it is not important to make me a lot of money.
Last year, the income from raising melons from ten acres of land gave her great confidence. It turned out that after contracting the property to households and dividing the land, she could earn so much money in farming!
Li Long and Du Chunfang chatted for a few words and went to the front yard.
After Li Long stayed in the front yard for less than twenty minutes, someone came over with a carriage and pulled a cart of big brooms.
Li Long was a little surprised after seeing it. This guy is Zhang Qiang.
How did he have the face to come over?
Zhang Qiang wanted to intercept Li Long's Hu in order to make money last year, and finally smashed 1,500 large brooms into his hands. In the end, he couldn't force his father-in-law to go to Shicheng to sell large brooms every day.
Later, Li Long heard that he could still make two money by selling brooms, but this is also divided into off-season peak seasons. It is not easy to sell things on Shicheng Old Street in winter, so staying there for a day.
The rich can go to the milk tea shop to have milk tea, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to have a temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius - at least minus 30 degrees Celsius at night, and early in the morning, it can reach minus 30 degrees Celsius. Standing on his face for a while, even with a hat, his eyebrows and beard turned white.
Not to mention that it will be almost the same as ice.
Originally, Li Long thought Zhang Qiang had already trained, but he didn't expect that he would even bring a big broom to the next day - is this a change of nature, or is it going to make up?
Li Long just glanced at him and found that these big brooms were really old, not new.
Spandens have turned gray, and some of them have gray spots on them.
And because of long-term stacking rather than vertically placed against the wall, the big broom has been deformed.
There are twenty or thirty big brooms in this car. Li Long said to him before Zhang Qiang arrived at the door: "Zhang Qiang, I won't take you off this broom, take it away." > "No? Why not?" Zhang Qiang's smile on his face froze, "I haven't used this broom yet. They are all new. Look how straight this pole is, and it's also full of brooms. It has been reinforced with red willows, and it is strong..."
"Jiji is old and crisp." Li Long shook his head and said, "It was pricked last year, but it will definitely not work this year. You can sell it in the market. , I won’t charge it here! ”
This guy is pretty good. Last year he bought it at 2.5 yuan, but this year he thought he would sell it to Li Long for three yuan, making a pure dollar.
If the big brooms are all this year, that's OK, but if you sell them to yourself last year, isn't that a fool?
"Your broom is also completing the task. Isn't you the final word for whether you succeed?" Zhang Qiang is not as arrogant as last year this year, and even a little humble, "Xiaolong, just give it a big shot, okay, I'm here There are still a few hundred more, so you can collect them for me. At worst, you can get some cheaper..."
He really doesn't want to set up a stall in Shicheng. Although he can make money, he is there all year round. It's really hard. As a farmer, at least he can still rest at home in winter, so it’s not OK to sell things.
And he really didn't sell much, and he really didn't want to do it now.
Li Long shook his head, ignored him and walked into the yard.
"Li Long, are you really not talking about love at all?" Zhang Qiang was a little angry, "After all they belong to the same team, do you still ask me to kneel down for you?"
Several people have come here already After giving away a big broom, Li Long guessed Zhang Qiang's intention.
"I won't accept it if you kneel down. I want everyone to do this work of tying a big broom for a few more years and earn more money. I want to collect yours and then smash it. After four teams have a big broom sign, there will be no work next year. Even if I agree, will the people in the team be willing? "
Who can't do moral kidnapping?
First: There are yellow sheep one kilometer west of Gaoquan exit of Lianhuo Expressway, two groups of yellow sheep.
Second: I said last time that I took my family to Wucheng to see a doctor. People in WLMQ should know how crowded there are in several major hospitals and how troublesome they are to live nearby. These chapters are temporarily used in laptop codes, which can ensure that one chapter a day is good. If I can code more, I will also code more. After all, more code means more money.
But when I can't take into account both, I can only manage one end.
Excuse me, normal updates should be restored around the 20th.
Sorry. (This chapter ends)
