Chapter 133: This horn, this head has good quality, how could it be such a coincidence?

Li Long felt disgusted by the old man with a bad heart, happily tidied up the stall, clipped the things on the back seat of the bicycle, pushed the bike to stroll around the morning market.

Seeing the eggs were not bad, Li Long asked the price.

"About to close the stall, originally eight cents each, if you really want them, how about seven cents?"

"Can they hatch chicks?" Li Long asked casually.

"Yes, they are all laid by my own chickens, there are roosters and hens at home, can't guarantee all can be hatched, but most should be, don't believe it, take a look?"

Li Long picked up an egg, held it in his palm, squinted at the sun to look, and could see black spots inside.

"Okay, how many are left, I want them all."

There were twenty-six eggs left in the basket. Li Long paid one yuan eight cents two cents and bought all the eggs.

With nothing to hold them, he simply spent five cents to buy the half-new willow basket from the egg seller, and hung the basket and eggs on the bicycle handle.

There was still grain at home, he didn't buy any. Seeing someone selling chickens, he bargained and spent ten yuan to buy two roosters and two hens, put them in a urea bag, and returned to the big courtyard.

After putting the things away, he went to the big meat canteen and ate breakfast. He found that the breakfast in the big meat canteen was much richer. He ordered a bowl of porridge, two buns, a plate of stir-fried potato shreds, and ate them in large mouthfuls.

Zhong Guo Qiang, the manager of the big meat canteen, walked over, sat opposite and said with a smile:

"Comrade Little Li, haven't seen you for many days."

"Mm, recently busy dividing land in the village, so didn't come out."

"Selling fish or meat today?"

"Caught some fish to come see how the market is."

"Live fish? Any big carp?"

"Not too big, a little over two kilograms." Li Long said, "The water is too cold now, not easy to catch."

"Two kilograms is fine, even bigger is not easy for me to plate. Can you bring me two tomorrow?"

"Okay." Li Long agreed readily.

After eating, Li Long returned to the courtyard and took out the Northern mountain goat skull.

Carefully counted, nineteen sections, no mistake, the skull was relatively complete. Li Long originally thought of clipping it into a sack and putting it on the back seat of the bicycle, but thought it was safer to walk over. He also didn't figure out, wasn't it said that goat horns grow two sections a year? How could there be nineteen sections?

He hugged the goat head to the supply and marketing cooperative. The old man Li who watched the door wasn't there, and it was replaced by a young man. Hearing Li Long say he wanted to find the procurement section chief Li Xiangqian, that look was a bit strange.

Li Long was a person who had lived two lives after all. He immediately saw that this young man probably thought he was hugging a goat head to offer to Li Xiangqian.

Li Long didn't explain much, just let the young man call to call Li Xiangqian.

The young man didn't make things difficult for Li Long, let him wait for a while and then called the procurement section.

Then the thing that made him dumbfounded happened: Section Chief Li, who usually only chatted and laughed with the director and deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative and was not smiling at ordinary people, ran toward the gate at a speed almost impossible for his fat body.

After seeing Li Long, Li Xiangqian greeted him from afar with a smile:

"Little Li, why don't you go in? Let me see—your goat head is too beautiful! Hahaha, I said, only you can handle this—go, go, go, talk inside!"

In the young man's surprised eyes, Li Xiangqian took Li Long and walked toward the courtyard talking and laughing. In the office, Li Xiangqian hugged the Northern mountain goat head, counted the bone sections on it one by one, and after confirming that both horns were nineteen sections, and there was no shedding, and the skull was basically preserved completely, Li Xiangqian let out a long breath:

"Little Li, to be honest, you helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, in such a short time, I really didn't know where to find such a good Northern mountain goat skull—this is a Northern mountain goat, right?"

"Mm, it's a Northern mountain goat." Li Long nodded, adding a sentence in his mind, in more than ten years, this will be a second-class protected animal.

"Little Long, don't say, hanging this goat head on the wall really has that artistic flavor—these leaders, they really know how to play." Li Xiangqian sighed.

Li Long smiled and didn't speak.

"Little Li, how should I thank you?" Li Xiangqian suddenly said, "You helped me so much, if you have any needs, just mention it!"

"Help me find a large wheel tire?" Li Long thought for a while and said, "I go into the water to set nets to catch fish, deep water is not easy to set nets, and it's not easy to row a boat here. If there is a tire filled with air as a rubber boat, I can set nets."

"What's this, simple! We have large cart tires replaced in our supply and marketing cooperative. I can't give you new ones, but you can pick any old ones that don't leak!"

"That's fine." Li Long smiled.

"No, no, you helped me so much, how can one tire count?" Li Xiangqian now felt that Li Long was really his lucky star, and he said directly: "Think again, think again!"

"Then..." Li Long thought and thought, suddenly thinking that Halimu said that pastures would be divided in the mountains, and it wouldn't be so convenient to enter the mountains in the future. He was a bit worried, so he asked:

"Then Section Chief Li, can you help me find an acquaintance? I want to be an extra-budgetary forest ranger in any ditch in the Southern Mountains? You also know I like hunting in the mountains, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to enter the mountains without an identity in the future."

!.

"This... I'll help you inquire." Li Xiangqian pondered for a while, feeling this was a good thing, and said, "I just heard that the Southern Mountains are going to establish a forestry team. If it's true, then getting a forest ranger is not a big deal!"

He patted his Long's shoulder and said:

"Wait for my news. Whether it can be done or not, I will call you."

"Okay. Section Chief Li, don't be too embarrassed, I just said it." Li Long said, "I know it's not easy for you to handle this across industries..."

"No, no, no, Little Li, you handle things openly, and I won't hide it either. If this matter is done, it's also good for me. If you can enter the mountains and hunt good things, if I need them, will they be prioritized for me? So I will definitely pay attention, don't worry!"

Coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Long's hand had an extra half-new large cart tire, with a diameter of about one point two or three meters, without a single patch on it, which made Li Long feel quite good.

As long as you take it home, blow it full of air, smear soap on the air nozzle, then use a rope to flatten the tire, and then whittle two water-repellent boards, that is a handmade version of a rubber boat. Setting nets to catch fish in the water is no worse than a boat!

Returning to the big courtyard, Li Long began to take stock of the harvest.

Fish sold for twenty-seven yuan eight cents, bought twelve yuan three cents two cents of chickens, eggs and baskets, ate breakfast for five cents two cents, remaining fifteen yuan two cents six cents. If you count the five yuan deducted from Tao Daqiang in advance, there are still more than ten yuan left.

Counting this, it's really not much.

But Li Long was also quite satisfied. After all, this time setting nets was considered testing the water. Going back this afternoon, he would set at least six to eight nets. With a tire, no need to go into the water, setting and retrieving nets would be convenient.

When the time comes, making twenty or thirty yuan a day is not lower than the monthly salary of an apprentice, what else is not okay?

Li Long thought while walking happily toward the department store building.

Since he was already here, how could he not buy something?

Say two things. First, many comments in the comment section were deleted. At first, I saw them but didn't care, thinking it was deleted by the person who wrote the comment, until today many people had their comments deleted, and I realized it. This book has been written until now, and it seems I haven't deleted any comments. After all, as long as it doesn't involve personal attacks, even if you have opinions on the content of this book, I won't delete them. After all, books are written for people to read, it's impossible for everyone to like them.

The second thing, recently there are fewer monthly tickets. I want to ask, if you still have monthly tickets in your hands, if you think this book is still readable, can you vote? Since it's already on the monthly ticket list, it doesn't look good if it's too far behind. If not, I'll ask again in the next chapter.

Uh, say an aside, yesterday when I asked the old man in the video about whether it cost money when the homestead was divided before, the old man said that another old man in the village had left. Eighty-eight years old, considered a long life, but among those who built the village, one less... Everyone take care of your health, health first.

Finally, thank Guanzhong Sanren for the reward, thank Shanli Lai De Ren 1988 for the reward! Thank you all for your tickets, subscriptions, and comment support, thank you all!
