Chapter 1051
Not long after Li Long put the small wild boars into the greenhouse and was using the washing machine to wash the clothes for the two children and himself, Ke Youmu came over with a truckload of meat.
When Li Long left, he handed the money to Sister Yang, instructing her to weigh, record, and pay when Ke Youmu delivered the meat. Of course, the meat had to be of good quality; this had to be checked.
Sister Yang had been cooking for several years and could still tell whether the quality of beef and mutton was good or bad. Ke Youmu also knew that Li Long and the others had placed the place for making dried meat in another courtyard, so when he delivered the meat, he sent it directly there.
When he turned back, he saw that the gate of the large courtyard wasn't locked, thinking that Li Long had returned, so he came over to say hello.
"This time I delivered five hundred kilograms of beef and mutton to you, and I also delivered a full set of beef offal and mutton offal to you. It's washed clean, you can just cook and eat it." Ke Youmu said very sincerely, "I thought you hadn't returned, so I didn't take it to that courtyard. Wait a moment, I'll pull it over."
"Just sell it for money, I don't lack meat to eat here," Li Long persuaded, "You just started this business, you haven't earned much money, right? No need to deliver it to me."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just beef and mutton offal. I sell it cheaply here, and I think the money earned from the meat is enough. I am very grateful that you can give me this big business."
Li Long didn't persuade him anymore. After rinsing the clothes in the washing machine and putting them back in to wash, Ke Youmu had already pulled the beef and mutton offal over.
He and the driver carried these things with baskets and placed them in the kitchen of the large courtyard. Seeing Li Long washing clothes, Ke Youmu asked Li Long:
"Comrade Li Long, do you want me to cook it for you directly here? The weather is hot now, this thing can't be kept."
"Ke Youmu, no need to be so polite," Li Long could feel Ke Youmu's sincerity, but he felt it wasn't necessary.
Since he had already chosen him as his raw material supplier, and judging from these two collaborations, the other party did things well, so they would generally maintain a long-term cooperative relationship.
He could feel Ke Youmu's idea of grabbing a straw and being eager to tie his identity to prove himself, so he said:
"As long as the meat you provide is good, if I need it here, I will definitely prioritize you. We are in a cooperative relationship, you don't need to put your posture so low, you make me feel embarrassed."
Ke Youmu was a bit embarrassed and explained:
"Comrade Li Long, let me tell you this, the money I earned from selling beef and mutton these two times is almost equal to my milk tea shop for a year.
Such a good money-making opportunity, if it were given to someone else, it would definitely be given directly to their relatives and friends.
I admit that my relationship with you hasn't reached that point yet. You gave me this opportunity, and I am really grateful! Earning so much money at once, I originally had many things I wanted to do but couldn't, now I can do them all, so I feel that if I don't do something for you, I feel guilty..."
Li Long was a bit dumbfounded. This Ke Youmu really said what was on his mind.
"Then okay, anyway, if you have nothing to do now, then help me cook these offals." No need to waste it. Feeling that letting Ke Youmu work made him feel at ease, then let him do it.
Ke Youmu happily greeted the driver and himself to go to the kitchen to wash the beef and mutton offal again and process them.
Ming Ming and Hao Hao were in the courtyard, watching their father wash clothes for a while, and then going to the kitchen to watch Ke Youmu and the others process the beef and mutton offal.
The driver was also an ethnic person, but he and Ke Youmu didn't care that this kitchen belonged to a Han person, and their movements were fast. They utilized both pots and started boiling.
The mutton offal was fine, but the beef offal was very large. One pot couldn't handle it, so Ke Youmu took buckets and basins to soak them first.
Li Long was washing things in the washing machine, and chatting with Ke Youmu. He also learned that Ke Youmu's idea was to earn more money to see if he could buy a car.
He wanted to buy a second-hand truck, which would be convenient for pulling goods. If Li Long continued to need meat here later, he could pull sheep himself.
The driver was also a young man, basically silent.
Li Long felt that his relationship with Ke Youmu should be good, otherwise, Ke Youmu wouldn't have reacted when he talked about buying a truck.
"In the past two years, our domestic cars have slowly come out, and there will be more choices then," Li Long told Ke Youmu, "Work hard for two years, the money you earn will be enough to buy a good van."
"That car hasn't been heard of, it must be very expensive, right?" Ke Youmu might have an obsession with trucks, so he answered like this.
Li Long himself was thinking that when the Tianjin Dafa was sold to North Xinjiang, he would buy one. The jeep pulled too few people. Thinking about pulling people for short-term work in cotton planting in the late nineties, it had to be a van like the Tianjin Dafa.
These two times selling beef and mutton, Ke Youmu's skill in processing beef and mutton offal had grown. After a pot of mutton offal was boiled, when it was almost cooked, he sprinkled a handful of salt, then fished out a section of oil sausage, cut it into small pieces on the cutting board, put it on a plate, and handed it to Ming Ming and Hao Hao beside him:
"Come, come, come, eat while it's hot, it's very fragrant!"
Li Long said to himself that this guy really knew how to eat. Oil sausage was considered the most fragrant part of mutton offal, even better than his favorite stomach.
Just as he was thinking, Ke Youmu fished out another section, cut the oil sausage into small segments, put it on a plate, took it out, and handed it to Li Long:
"Come, Comrade Li Long, taste my craft."
Li Long didn't be polite either, wiped his hands, and directly took a piece to eat.
"Hey, the taste is really good! The sheep were slaughtered today, right? The taste of sheep eating grass on the alkaline beach is just good, not at all muttony! Your craft is also good!"
"Exactly, I think the beef and mutton of the herdsmen in the mountains don't taste as good as the beef and mutton eating grass on the alkaline beach in our area," Ke Youmu felt deeply the same, "It's a pity that large areas of alkaline land in our places have been reclaimed, and there are relatively few people raising large numbers of cattle and sheep."
Li Long said to himself, didn't you see that I am raising them? Since childhood, he was used to eating alkaline beach mutton. Li Long now had this condition and felt that he should raise a flock of sheep himself and slaughter them whenever he wanted to eat.
Ke Youmu also cut a small section of sausage himself, ate two bites, then found a basin, fished out this pot of offal, and continued to process the rest.
By the time these offals were finished, it was almost time to get off work.
Li Long's intention was to get some seasoning sauce and eat and drink some with this freshly made offal.
Ke Youmu pushed that he had something to deal with, and he and the driver left in a hurry.
Li Long was still a bit embarrassed, thinking that this person was really too polite.
Ke Youmu felt that he had finally repaid a little bit of human favor. These two times of beef and mutton, he could earn three or four thousand yuan, almost enough for a small four-wheeled tractor.
This income was something he never dared to think about. Now that it was really in his pocket, if he didn't do something, he really felt he couldn't stand it.
When Gu Xiaoxia returned, Li Long had already cut two plates of offal, the steamed buns were also reheated, there was large rice porridge boiled in the pot, and the cold-mixed Chinese cabbage was to relieve the greasiness.
This table, whether it was Gu Xiaoxia, Gu Bo Yuan, Sister Yang who rushed back after making dried meat, or Han Fang who returned from school, were all very satisfied.
Ming Ming and Hao Hao didn't eat anything else. They had been eating offal all afternoon until their bellies were round, even Xiao Hei had a wonderful meal, and afterward, they were letting Li Long take them around the courtyard to digest.
Otherwise, there would definitely be bad breath tomorrow morning, and they would fart stinky farts.
During dinner, Li Long talked about catching small wild boars in the mountains, and Gu Bo Yuan criticized him:
"Taking children into the mountains when it's so dangerous, I don't know what you are thinking! What if the wild boar rushes over and rams Ming Ming and Hao Hao? You wouldn't have time to regret it then!"
"Can't ram us!" Li Long didn't defend himself, but Ming Ming and Hao Hao were unhappy. Ming Ming said loudly, "My dad has a gun! He hit a wild boar with one shot! We ate very deliciously at noon! The seven small wild boars were also caught by Dad, and they are in the greenhouse now!"
Seeing his grandson defending his son-in-law, Gu Bo Yuan was both angry and amused, but had nothing to say.
Gu Xiaoxia trusted her husband and persuaded her father with a smile:
"Boys, it's good to walk more and see more. Usually, they can only play in the courtyard. Now that they have the opportunity to go to the mountains to turn around, broaden their horizons, and see some new things, it's better than being stifled at home."
"Okay, okay, okay, you can manage your son however you want," Gu Bo Yuan was completely out of tricks, "But try to ensure they don't get hurt. The children are small, their arms and legs haven't grown well, if they bump or hit, it won't be a minor injury."
