Chapter 1069

Bolati originally intended to eat some offal first, and then calculate the money with Li Long. Now hearing that someone was collecting Fritillaria on his territory, he was unhappy all of a sudden.

It wasn't entirely because this person collected Fritillaria, mainly because someone was making trouble on his territory, and he didn't get any benefits at all!

Hearing Li Long say it was a young man riding a horse and carrying a gun, Bolati asked: "Is it our Uyghur or Kazakh?"

"I don't know either, people can't tell the difference between Uyghur and Kazakh either," Li Long said. "I guess it should be your Forestry Team. Think about it, in these mountains, who else can ride a horse and carry a gun, and also know how to collect Fritillaria?"

Bolati thought about it, and it was also true. To say riding a horse and carrying a gun, individual herdsmen also had them. But herdsmen generally wouldn't think of collecting Fritillaria from herb diggers, unless this person knew this process.

"Young man..." Bolati recited, "There are quite a lot of young people in our Forestry Team. Recently our wages have risen a bit, and there are quite a lot of people who want to do this line of work."

"Then are there those who are relatively short of money?" Li Long thought for a moment and said, "I exchange Fritillaria here, most people in your Forestry Team should know, right? Most people should also know the relationship between me and your team."

"If this person is from the Forestry Team, unless he is very short of money, otherwise, he shouldn't do this kind of thing that obviously will anger me."

"Of course, it is also possible that this person was fired by your Forestry Team. However, people who were fired couldn't still carry a gun, right?" Li Long thought of another possibility, and immediately denied it.

"It's not impossible to be fired," Bolati shook his head. "Some people's guns are their own, not issued by the team, so it's not difficult to find a gun."

This was not easy to find.

"By the way, you just said this person might be short of money, I actually thought of one person," Bolati suddenly said. "There is a young man in our Forestry Team named Abulikemu, Uyghur, who likes to gamble, and often loses money by playing 'bishi' (knucklebones) with others."

"I heard that his salary last month was all lost, and he even took two sheep from home to pay off the debt... Could it be him?"

"Losing money by playing 'bishi'?" Li Long knew in the fourth team that it was the 'zhuabishi' (grabbing knucklebones) way of playing, and didn't know much about 'dabishi' (hitting knucklebones), but didn't expect that this could also lose money?

"Hey, there are many people who play this," Bolati said. "You should also play, right? It's impossible that you don't know, right?"

"I know 'zhuabishi'," Li Long said the rules of 'zhuabishi', and Bolati laughed: "That is the way of playing for dolls and sheep-herding boys. As for us men, we play 'dabishi'."

"How to play?" Li Long asked.

"Two people, then it's the way of playing for two people; three people, then it's the way of playing for three people," Bolati explained while gesturing.

As soon as he said this, Li Long understood, it was very simple.

Draw a line, people stand on one side of the line, then put the target knucklebones at a certain distance on one side of the line, people hold the main knucklebones in their hands, guess the order or according to the agreed order, and use the main knucklebones to hit the target knucklebones.

This is not hitting accurately, it is to hit the target knucklebones out of the specified distance, for example, one foot away, two feet away, three feet away. Whoever hits the distance most accurately wins. If it doesn't hit, or the distance hit is wrong, then change to the other party.

"Just gamble like this?" Li Long thought in his heart that this gambling was really simple.

"Well, just gamble like this. A neighbor I had before lost more than twenty sheep in one day!" Bolati thought Li Long didn't believe it, and hurriedly gave another example. "There were only thirty-some sheep in their family in total. When people came to the house to pull the sheep, the sheep-herding boy cried."

"He was still okay, the sheep in the family were almost gone, and he knew he was wrong, so he didn't gamble anymore."

"You don't gamble, right?" Li Long asked.

"Used to gamble, but gambled less," Bolati smiled and didn't hide it either. "There was nothing to do in the team. I lost more than ten kilograms of Fritillaria! However, I don't gamble now. My son is about to have a doll, I have to earn money for them!"

Well, still quite self-controlled.

"Can it be determined that it is this Abulikemu?" Li Long asked. "Do you want me to call Captain Aili and say something?"

"No need, no need. I'll go back after eating and tell the captain. This matter, the captain is still relatively useful. Although I have been in the team for a long time, young boys, they don't listen."

As soon as Bolati said this, Li Long understood.

"Fine, you just tell Captain Aili, I am quite angry about this matter. I set up this wooden cabin to stabilize the emotions of the herb diggers in the mountains, not to let them have too many things in the mountains. As a result, it has become like this now, he must check it carefully."

"In addition, Bolati, your team plays this gambling, doesn't your captain care?"

"Care? How to care?" Bolati shook his head. "I heard that there is going to be a reform, the captain has no heart to care. Now this Fritillaria season, earn some more money, wait until the reform is finished and then talk about it."

"No matter how to reform, your forest rangers should not change. Such a large forest, there is always someone guarding it," Li Long said. "However, your sentence is right, earning money is important."

Bolati helped Li Long unload the things in the jeep, and then put the large basin of offal on the workbench.

The offal Li Long brought was more than twenty kilograms, including heart, liver, lung, stomach, intestine, etc.

Keeping the original form, not cut, he thought that if someone exchanged, he would just cut it with a knife.

Bolati pulled out his small knife, cut a piece of beef stomach, put it in his mouth and chewed, while chewing and praising:

"Absolutely boiled in a big pot, this taste, it's very energetic!"

Quite a lot of people in Northern Xinjiang believe that things boiled in a big pot together have more taste.

For example, boiling horse meat and horse intestines, tens of kilograms boiled together, that taste is definitely better than a family boiling two or three kilograms in a pot.

Boiling offal is also such a saying, regardless of ethnicity.

As for whether there is a scientific explanation, it is estimated that there is none.

Li Long smiled, thinking that the offal boiled by Keyumu should be using that kind of big pot with a diameter of 1.2 meters, boiling tens of kilograms at a time? Otherwise, the small pot wouldn't be able to boil it at all, right?

Bolati cut a few more pieces and put them into the plate, and then went to Li Long's room to get seasoning.

Li Long looked at his two bags of Fritillaria.

What was a bit unexpected was that the Fritillaria were all quite clean, and also quite dry, nearly ninety percent dry, almost able to be shipped directly to Jia Tianlong.

Of course, it would be better to dry it again.

He weighed it, the two bags of Fritillaria were nearly eighty-some kilograms, this thing could be worth quite a lot of money!

"Bolati, you are still exchanging for money this time, right?" Li Long turned his head and shouted into the room.

Bolati came out with an enamel bowl with seasoned sauce, and said with a smile:

"Of course! This is for me and another forest ranger, all exchanged for money."

"Do you accept the new hundred-yuan ones?" Li Long brought some hundred-yuan ones, which was convenient.

"Accept, accept, accept, one hundred yuan, it's the same to spend," Bolati obviously already knew that the bank issued hundred-yuan notes, and said, "Convenient."

Li Long counted fifty hundred-yuan notes for Bolati, handed them to him and said: "It's much more convenient to hold it like this."

"Hehe, it doesn't feel as good as the original. The original 'Great Unity' was a big bundle! However, it's convenient like this, it won't let others notice!" Bolati was still quite knowledgeable.

He hurriedly ate a plate of offal, took a bottle of wine from Li Long, and then left on his horse.

According to his statement, he had to hurry back and tell Aili.

However, Li Long was a bit suspicious of whether he could put his words into practice—after all, watching the horse run out for a while, Li Long saw Bolati unscrew the wine bottle, pour a mouthful of wine into his mouth, then wipe his mouth, clamp the horse's belly with both legs, run wildly for a while, and then pour a mouthful of wine again.

Sigh.

It's hard to say whether it can be relied upon.

After Bolati left, Li Long moved the two bags of Fritillaria directly into the car, and then started to light the fire.

The offal was a bit cold, it could be eaten directly mixed, but Li Long thought it would be better to heat it up. It was very greasy when cold, and didn't know whether those who exchanged Fritillaria liked it or not.

It was more than an hour later when Bolati returned to the Forestry Team's station.

He looked around, didn't see Abulikemu, thought about it and went to find Captain Aili.
