Chapter 193: What kind of person needs deer whip to supplement?

~15 min read 2,952 words

Watching Li Xiangqian also feel sorry with himself, Li Long said with a smile:

"I'll move the furniture into the mountains in these two days, and walk around in the mountains by the way to see if I can catch any wild animals."

"Since we're talking about this," Li Xiangqian said in a low voice with a serious face: "The male deer—the whip of that big red deer, can you get it? A friend of mine needs it. Don't worry, it's not for nothing, there's money, you don't have to be polite, we can't work for nothing."

Li Long thought for a while and said:

"Section Chief, I won't brag with you. This thing is easy to hit, mainly to find it. I dare not guarantee that I will definitely be able to find it. After all, the mountains are so big, so many ditches, if I find it, I think I can hit it with a 56-semi, but it's hard to say if I can't find it... Must it be a red deer's?"

"Red deer's is of course good. Of course, if you can get a sika deer's, that would be even better..." Li Xiangqian joked.

"Sika deer's is even more impossible, there are no sika deer in our mountains." Li Long also said with a smile, "But I have two roe deer whips there, this is also a kind of deer. If I can hit a red deer's, it's naturally good. If I can't hit it, is it okay to use this to top it off?"

"Try to hit a red deer's. If it's a roe deer's, bring it to me too. I'll give you... fifty yuan for one, how about that?"

"Okay." Li Long agreed readily. Anyway, it's extra money, and I also mixed a temporary worker establishment, and the point is the benefits of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Although the supply and marketing cooperative will be scattered in more than ten years, in these ten years, distributing houses and yards, distributing things during festivals, the benefits are quite good!

"Then it's settled. By the way, you want to pull furniture, right? How about this, I'll send you a big truck, this car belongs to you today, just let the car return to the cooperative in the afternoon." Li Xiangqian simply did a good deed to the end, "Walk around in the mountains, pay more attention to this matter! You said you are ready to use 56-semi, right? I'll get you another hundred bullets, should that be enough?"

"Enough, enough." The car and bullets were all ready, it was impossible for Li Long not to pay attention. He nodded vigorously, then got up.

Li Xiangqian approved the note for him. Before long, a big truck drove to the door. Li Long collected two old tires and one broken tire, threw them on the car, and put the bike on the car together. When the car arrived at the township, Li Long asked the driver to stop at the store. He got off the car to buy two packs of cigarettes, got on the car and handed them to the driver:

"Master, you take these cigarettes, sorry to let you run so far, and have to go into the mountains in the afternoon..."

"That's nothing." The work was assigned by purchasing section chief Li Xiangqian, Master Luo naturally had no complaints. This young man knows how to do things, and he is also quite happy, "Today this car and I are handed over to you, you say drive where, drive where."

Li Long brought the car to Master Qu's carpenter yard. Master Qu was really not there, Xiao Gao was there, he was a bit surprised:

"Comrade Li, you are..."

"Please call a few people to help me move it, I'll pack the furniture and want to pull it away."

"You are really capable, pulling with a big car... The whole township is not so imposing!" Xiao Gao was really convinced, "I'll call people now."

Li Long adjusted the furniture on the car, the ones to be pulled into the mountains were put inside, and the ones to be pulled into the horse pen room were put outside.

After the furniture was packed, Li Long stood in the car box, patted the car roof to let Master Luo drive.

The direction had been pointed out in advance, Master Luo knew where to drive, all the way to Weigou, the cement board there couldn't withstand the big truck, fortunately Master Luo's driving skills were great, and he drove directly over from the shallow beach next to it.

When the car arrived at the horse pen, it still disturbed many people, many children ran over to watch—the team itself is located in a remote place, and cars haven't come much, these children naturally feel rare.

The adults who were idle at home also gathered to watch the fun. Old Luo had seen Li Long standing in the car box early, and said with a smile:

"This is Little Long from the Li family coming over, look at this car of furniture, I have a companion from now on."

Tao Daqiang had just finished picking up the nets and came out of the Li house, heard the car horn, instinctively felt that this car was related to Li Long, and followed the sound to the horse pen.

"Daqiang, come, come, come, let's unload the furniture together."

The furniture not only had the horse pen's, but also the Li family's. After Li Long put down the wooden frame bed, cabinet, tea table, and chairs needed in the horse pen, he took the car to the Li house again.

The children ran wildly after the car, without Li Long's instruction, Master Luo drove the car quite steadily and slowly, he was also afraid of hurting the children.

After unloading the furniture at the Li house, Li Long said to Tao Daqiang again:

"Daqiang, I want to go into the mountains, do you have anything to do? If not, come with me to help, I have to arrange the mountains."

"Okay." Tao Daqiang was naturally willing. If Li Long went into the mountains, it would be meaningless for him to stay in the team.

"I'm going to stay in the mountains for a few days this time. I'm thinking, if you follow me into the mountains, you'll go hunting with me these days, and we'll run the mountains. Or you help me move and pack the furniture, and come back with the big car in the afternoon. At that time, when I'm not at home, you can set nets to catch fish and sell fish yourself, you see..."

"I'll go into the mountains with you!" Tao Daqiang made the decision immediately.

"That's good, come, take the gun with me." Li Long took Tao Daqiang into the room, he took the 56-semi, let Tao Daqiang carry the small caliber, put the bullets in the cross-body bag, and also brought necessary items such as lighters, before going out and getting on the car.

When the car drove to the county, Li Long asked Master Luo to go directly to the big meat canteen.

"Doesn't it delay time?" Master Luo was a bit puzzled, "Go early and return early."

"Always have to eat." Li Long smiled, "Let's have a beautiful meal at noon, we still have to work when we get there."

Master Luo actually understood, he smiled, this young man is quite on the way.

After eating a bowl of noodles with oil meat at the big meat canteen, Master Luo added a noodle, Li Long and Tao Daqiang both added two noodles, after eating full, they drank half a bowl of noodle soup, and sat in the car to go into the mountains.

The half car of furniture is actually not difficult to pack, it just takes some effort to move from the ditch mouth to the place where the winter nest wooden house is located.

Li Long and Tao Daqiang both sat in the passenger seat this time. Last time after finishing the handle, Tao Daqiang came back sitting in the big box. This time sitting in the passenger seat, he was a bit cautious.

Li Long was quite relaxed, he chatted with Master Luo, and soon found out that Master Luo's car runs around Ma County, mainly responsible for purchasing tasks. Last time pulling the handle, he was actually there too, but didn't have much contact with Li Long.

Arriving in the mountains, although Li Long was quite familiar with the vicinity of the winter nest, he could only lead the way to a position two hundred meters away from the winter nest wooden house, and the car couldn't go in anymore—actually, there was a ditch in the middle, the car was not easy to climb the slope, if it was a horse-drawn carriage, it would be easy to pass.

"Master Luo, let the car stop here, please wait here for a while, we can go back after we move the furniture."

"Okay, you move." Master Luo nodded.

Li Long and Tao Daqiang moved all the furniture to the other side of the ditch, Master Luo followed to move two chairs to the wooden house, and then under Li Long's persuasion, drove back.

"Next, it depends on us." Li Long smiled, "Looking at these two hundred meters, this pine furniture is not light."

"What's that." Tao Daqiang was most afraid of heavy work, "It's a matter of two or three trips." He said as he carried the cabinet and walked toward the wooden house with big strides.

Really a silly guy!

Li Long carried the wooden tea table and followed closely behind. Two or three trips really moved the furniture to the front of the wooden house, and the next step was to set it up.

Mainly in the small room, this side is mainly for placing things, and the big room is for living—Li Long was a bit embarrassed at this time, the big room is a wooden kang, although it is enough for two people to sleep, but two big men sleeping on one kang...

"Brother Long, I'll sleep in the small room at night." Tao Daqiang took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment, "I snore, the sound is loud, if we are in one room, you definitely won't sleep well."

"Okay, anyway, the bedding is enough. Come, I'll settle the money for the water rats last time for you." Li Long took the money out of his pocket, "Last time it was four pelts and one musk bag, sold for fifty-four yuan in total, skinning and selling things is my business, I'll take those four yuan, and the remaining fifty we split equally, twenty-five each, for you."

"So much?" Tao Daqiang already knew that water rat pelts were expensive and musk bags were expensive, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive!

One nest split twenty-five, and there is one nest not split yet, then wouldn't he have another fifty?

He held the money and couldn't believe it.

"Let's take a break today, walk around nearby in a while, if we can hit something, hit it, if we can't, then we'll look for it tomorrow. By the way, let's look for mushrooms and the like in a while, we can boil a soup to drink at night."

There are all kinds of utensils here, so short-term life is no problem.

Tao Daqiang looked around curiously, touched the wall from time to time, jumped up to touch the roof, and then said to Li Long:

"Brother Long, you are really capable! This is your own house! Having your own house in the mountains... really good!"

He couldn't imagine it, he still lived with his father now, and he had never thought of having his own separate room.

!.

But seeing Li Long arrange his own room in the horse pen earlier, and now having a wooden house in the mountains, it's impossible not to be envious.

"Haha, work hard, you can have it too. This thing is only now, ten or twenty years later, it will be an illegal building." Li Long smiled, "Okay, are you hungry?"

"Not hungry, the noodles at noon haven't been digested yet."

"Then lock the bike in the house, let's walk around in the mountains." Li Long said, "Explore to see if there is any prey."

Ten or twenty years later, it will be very difficult to encounter wild animals in the mountains. At that time, the activity range of people in the mountains has expanded a lot. Usually, it is only in the early morning and night that it is easy to see wild animals.

But at this time, there are more wild animals in the mountains than people, and their activities are relatively free, so Li Long thought about walking around, just to see the ditches mentioned by Yushanjiang and Halimu, to see if there is any harvest.

Tao Daqiang was naturally very willing. He pushed the bike into the small room, locked the door, and then followed Li Long with the small caliber gun and a urea bag.

Li Long carried the 56-semi on his back, and the cross-body bag was also on his body, with some bullets in it, and then went up the hillside to the east.

It is said that mushrooms like shade, but they picked some straw mushrooms on the sunny hillside instead. Because the resources are rich, Li Long is very picky, specifically wanting the kind of mushrooms that have just arched out and the umbrella has not opened. Such mushrooms are fresh.

He didn't want the kind that opened the umbrella, anyway, he couldn't take it back, and didn't plan to dry mushrooms for the time being, so he was very casual.

Crossing the mountain ridge and walking into the mountain ditch, here the north side is shrubs and the south side is pine forest, the grass at the bottom of the ditch grows very deep, Li Long pointed to Tao Daqiang while walking and said:

"Look, that is fritillaria."

"This is fritillaria? Why does it look a bit like horsetail?"

"That's different. Opposite leaves, look, it hasn't bloomed yet. If you dig it now, the bottom is a round lump." Li Long said while walking, "Look, this whole area is."

"So many?" Tao Daqiang's spirit came up all of a sudden, "I'm afraid there are dozens of them?"

"Yeah, more than that." Li Long waved his hand, "If you are an experienced hand, you can dig a few kilograms here in a day. But this forest should also be classified as a forestry team. If you dig it, you might encounter the forestry team patrolling, trouble."

Tao Daqiang felt a bit sorry, this is all money!

Seeing Tao Daqiang's expression, Li Long knew his thoughts and said with a smile:

"Wait a few days, if I can get the forest ranger's certificate, then if there is nothing to do, I can come over and dig some. Now let's save some trouble."

Fritillaria usually blooms in May. At this time, it is the time to grow fritillaria seeds. If you want to dig, you can actually earn some money.

But Li Long thinks this is tiring—hunting is also tiring, maybe you won't have a harvest after running for a day, but the feeling is completely different.

Besides, it's mainly Li Xiangqian who is in a hurry for deer whip—what kind of person would be in a hurry for deer whip?

Chen Hongjun at the purchasing station didn't mention the acquisition of deer whip much, so although everyone admits that this is a good traditional Chinese medicine, it is not the kind that is urgently needed, unlike fritillaria and velvet antler.

Li Long walked inside along the ditch while letting his imagination run wild. The grass was very deep. Suddenly, a big movement came from the front. Tao Daqiang shouted:

"Brother Long, rabbit!"

When Li Long looked over, a gray wild rabbit had already rushed into the grass, jumping and running away.

"Too fast, not easy to hit." Li Long waved his hand, "There are not only wild rabbits here, but also pheasants. That day I also picked a nest of pheasant eggs and took them back to let the hen in Sister-in-law Lu's house brood."

Tao Daqiang was very interested. Although he only saw a wild rabbit and didn't even have a chance to hit it, he felt that this life was much more interesting than in the team.

Walking out along this ditch and crossing a few mountains, Li Long came to the ditch where deer appeared as pointed out by Yushanjiang earlier.

Unfortunately, there are no deer here, not even antlers.

He was not very disappointed either. If he could find red deer in one trip, that luck would be too good.

Walking quite tired, Li Long saw Codonopsis pilosula in the grass. It's not worth digging Codonopsis pilosula at this time, but there is a large area here, and some stalks grow very thick. Li Long found a hard branch from the side and picked a soft place to dig.

Tao Daqiang asked curiously:

"Brother Long, what are you digging?"

"Codonopsis pilosula." Li Long said, "I didn't bring water, my mouth is a bit dry, dig a Codonopsis pilosula to eat and quench my thirst."

The soil was quite soft, and soon Li Long dug out the thin reed more than twenty centimeters long under the Codonopsis pilosula root, revealing the ginseng body.

Digging down again, good guy, this Codonopsis pilosula is as thick as an arm?
