Chapter 1010: The snow-clearing machine makes its debut!

Because Li Long only drove the tractor head with the snow-clearing machine and didn't bring a bucket, Halimu and Yushanjiang didn't let him bring anything when he went back, just saying don't come over tomorrow, they would ride horses down the mountain to drive the tractor.

Li Long thought about bringing them down the mountain directly, staying in the county for one night, and driving the tractor up the mountain directly tomorrow morning.

But Yushanjiang was the only one in his family, and his wife and children were still at the pastoral team's guard point, and there were only two in Halimu's family. Moreover, there were quite a few wolves at night, so they couldn't leave.

So according to Yushanjiang's statement, early tomorrow morning, he would feed the sheep and ride a horse down the mountain with Halimu, and then drive the tractor back to the mountains.

Li Long said no need, riding a horse was so slow, the road had already been opened, he would drive the jeep over to pick people up tomorrow morning, pick them up and go down the mountain, and then Halimu and Yushanjiang could drive the tractor back directly.

"Then we can just pull the supplies up the mountain when we drive the tractor." Halimu thought it was also good, "You don't need to hire a big cart to come over again."

Li Long thought it was also right, which was actually more convenient, without having to run so many extra trips.

Li Long drove the tractor back. When he arrived at Qingshuihezi, Meng Hai was still waiting by the road.

Li Long told him that there was no need to work tomorrow. Since everyone was doing voluntary work, he wouldn't give money. Next spring, he would continue to organize everyone to repair the road.

Meng Hai watched Li Long go back, and he also walked home with big strides.

He still had to tidy up the Dongfanghong 75 tractor. After using it, there were quite a few ice lumps on it, so he had to deal with them properly.

Li Long returned to the county. Seeing that the time was relatively late, he thought about doing things tomorrow.

Halimu and their tractors were placed at the purchasing station, so Li Long went over and told Liang Shuang Cheng to get up early tomorrow and burn a large pot of boiling water for preparation.

Liang Shuang Cheng nodded and agreed.

"Are the people in the mountains coming down the mountain?" Gu Bo Yuan understood what was going on as soon as he heard Li Long say this.

"Hmm, they are coming down the mountain." Li Long told the situation in the mountains, "I'll buy some supplies early tomorrow morning. When they come down to drive the tractor, let them pull the supplies up directly."

"It's time to prepare more supplies." Gu Bo Yuan said, "The snow is too heavy this year. The mountains have heavier snow than our plains. If it doesn't go well, it might really become a snow disaster."

"Exactly, heard on the news that not only is our side having continuous heavy snow, but Inner Mongolia and the Northeast are the same. The snow situation this year is heavier than in previous years. Our Northern Xinjiang's northern Yili, Altay, and Tacheng areas are the same, with heavier snow than ours."

Liang Shuang Cheng's words surprised Li Long, who asked: "How do you know?"

"I listen to the news." Liang Shuang Cheng said with a smile, "I bought a radio, listen to news and storytelling when I have nothing to do, and this is what I heard."

Li Long nodded. It seemed it was really a snow disaster.

However, regardless of how others were, Halimu and their situation would be better this year, so Li Long wanted to at least maintain this good situation.

Returning to the main compound, Li Long started to list the supplies he planned to buy tomorrow. He had to make a list.

Rice, flour, and oil were a must. Brick tea, salt, and granulated sugar must also be available; potatoes, onions, and chili peppers could be bought; coarse salt for livestock must be bought, one bag for each family; and the sugar residue he promised had to be agreed upon with Song Ming.

So tomorrow's itinerary had to be well-planned.

After breakfast the next day, Li Long went to the purchasing station. Sun Jia Qiang had already arrived, and Liang Shuang Cheng had also finished breakfast. Li Long let Sun Jia Qiang follow Gu Bo Yuan to receive goods, and Liang Shuang Cheng went to add boiling water to the two tractors and roast the cylinder bottoms.

"It's best to get it started. If it can't be started, at least make it easy to shake." Li Long said, "Burn more boiling water."

"Brother Long, don't worry." Liang Shuang Cheng said with a smile: "We often do this when dealing with tractors in winter, I'm good at this!"

Li Long's intention in arranging it this way was also this. Sun Jia Qiang didn't have a tractor at home, and he hadn't used it, so he definitely didn't know how to handle it. What if he roasted the oil pipe or something?

Liang Shuang Cheng must have done it. Even so, Li Long reminded him repeatedly to pay attention when roasting, and not to put the fire in the wrong place.

Liang Shuang Cheng pointed out the places that couldn't be roasted to Li Long, so Li Long was relieved.

He drove the jeep into the mountains. When he arrived at Halimu's winter nest, he saw Yushanjiang's horse tied to the side of Halimu's stable.

Hearing the jeep, Halimu and Yushanjiang walked out one after another, greeted Li Long, and then moved skins and such things out of the idle house.

"After we go back this time, I specifically hunted for a few days. The wild beasts around my pasture ran far away, so I specifically ran a trip to the deep mountains," Halimu said while moving, "Caught two snow leopards, one large brown bear. That brown bear was too big, more than two meters high. If it weren't for this good gun, I would have been killed by it."

Saying this, he dug out a huge bear skin from the idle house.

This skin was slightly damaged, with several holes and bullet holes, but even so, one could see how big the wild beast was before it died.

"In the future, don't do such dangerous things." Li Long said, "The things you got before for repairing the road are enough. We all have old and young in our families, safety is the most important."

"Don't worry, we know it in our hearts." Yushanjiang said with a smile, "There are guns, we also know safety ourselves."

These skins were not only Halimu's, but also Yushanjiang's. There were a few deer antlers, which couldn't fit in Li Long's car, so he planned to take them next time he came.

There were a few pieces of jade as usual. The quality was not very good, but it was not bad either.

After moving the things, Halimu and Yushanjiang sat in the jeep, and Li Long drove the jeep down the mountain.

"The weather forecast says there might be snow in a few days. You drive the tractor back today, so you must hurry to open the road to other winter nests." Li Long said while driving, "I'll take you to pull the supplies up after we go back, distribute some to each family first, and I'll get some more to send up later."

"Hmm, now that the road is open, it's convenient to buy things. Even if it snows again, it's impossible to snow so heavily. We have three tractors, as long as it snows, we will directly use your snow-clearing machine to clear the snow on the road. In this way, it will be easy to handle later." Yushanjiang had plans early on.

Now thinking about it, it was fortunate that they agreed to Li Long's road repair last year, and this year they happened to have tractors, and Li Long had a snow-clearing machine here.

Otherwise, if the mountains were closed by heavy snow, and there was no road, with such thick snow, just relying on riding horses to carry supplies out of the mountains would probably take a lot of effort.

The jeep drove to the purchasing station. Li Long had already heard the tractor sound in the backyard. Obviously, Liang Shuang Cheng had already started the tractor.

There were only five or six people waiting to sell things in the front courtyard, but these people each had a large bag, filled to the brim, obviously the harvest was not small.

The jeep drove to the backyard. Li Long saw Liang Shuang Cheng adjusting the size of the tractor's throttle and looking at the fuel level in the fuel tank.

Seeing Li Long get off the car, he said with a smile:

"Brother Long, it's started!"

"Good, good, good, not bad!" Li Long looked at the three tractors that were all started, and the snow in the tractor bucket was cleared, nodding in approval:

"Okay, turn off the machine inside first." Talihar didn't follow, so his tractor wouldn't be driven first.

After Liang Shuang Cheng turned off that machine, he went to the front courtyard to help. Li Long let Halimu and Yushanjiang go to the reception room to rest, and he wanted to unload the skins first.

"We won't rest, hurry up and buy things and pull them back to the mountains." Yushanjiang was relatively anxious, "Just sitting in the car and not working, no need to rest."

"That's good, go, I'll take you to pull things." Li Long said, "Pull two carts of supplies up the mountain today."

Li Long took Yushanjiang to the grain store first, bought a large batch of daily necessities such as rice, flour, and oil, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought ten bags of coarse salt, and then went to the food company, and finally the department store.

After these places were visited, the two tractors were already full.

"Okay, Li Long, we are going back to the mountains now, and we will come to find you when we have time. If you have time, you should also go to the mountains to see." Yushanjiang and Halimu said together, "And pull those things in the mountains back."

"Forgot one thing, you still have to go back with me, bring the snow-clearing machine, otherwise the snow on the roads of other winter nests is not easy to clear."

Li Long took Yushanjiang and them back again, loaded the two snow-clearing machines directly onto the tractor, and let them drive away.

After this big thing was done, Li Long only had three push-type snow-clearing machines left. It might snow in the next two days, so he called Factory Manager Du, asking if he had any plans to send goods here recently, and if so, send one over directly.

"We have sales staff doing demonstrations for government agencies and enterprises in Shicheng, you can go directly to the Shicheng Tractor Factory to pull one, I'll call them."

Li Long thought this was quite good, at least no need to run to Kuitun again.

Taking time to go to Shicheng, Li Long found that there were quite a few people watching during the demonstration here. Looking at the dress of these people, they were basically cadres, commenting on the two machines that were clearing the snow in an open space where the snow hadn't been swept.

Li Long's hearing was good, and he could hear that these people were basically praising. After all, once this snow-clearing machine came out, if every unit was equipped with it, how much manpower would be saved.

Li Long waited for the demonstration to end, and then went to find the person in charge. ===== CHAPTER 1011 =====
