Chapter 313
The horse cart first came to the old horse station, Li Long pulled the cart into the courtyard, pointed to one of the rooms and said:
"Second brother, brother-in-law, Junshan Junfeng, you live in this one."
"Squeeze?" Li Anguo was a bit surprised, turned his head to ask Li Jianguo, "Don't live at home?"
"Where can I live at home? In this cold day, can't let you sleep on the floor, right?" Li Long didn't wait for Li Jianguo to speak, and said, "There is a stove in here, a wooden board bed, you also brought bedding, if you think it's not soft enough, spread another layer of wheat straw."
"Then eating..." Chen Xingbang just ate a good meal, and was a bit worried at this time. Not eating at Li's house, then Li's house eats good, they eat bad... that's not okay?
"I eat with you here. Brother-in-law, don't worry, the food here is not bad, you can see meat every meal." Li Long said with a smile, "Uncle Lao Luo cooks, of course, when you are free, everyone cooks together.
There will be work in two days, if you want to do it, you can earn money, and it will be settled on the same day, you won't know how to do it at first, it's simple, you'll know when you see it.
Fellow villagers from the county came two days ago, ten days, a family earned more than two hundred, not a little!"
"Earn so much money?" The eyes of the four people suddenly opened wide, "Really or fake?"
"Look at the reeds outside? Just harvest reeds, tie reed bundles, the work is a bit tired, but earning money is true."
"If you can really earn so much money, then it's worth being tired to death!" Li Junshan's eyes were shining, and he said excitedly.
"Don't worry, Without Xiao Long won't tell lies." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "Alright, put the things down now, tidy up, and rest for a while. Without Xiao Long will take you home in the afternoon."
Li Jianguo pulled the horse cart and left, Li Anguo and the others laid out the bedding on the wooden board bed, rested and so on. Chen Xingbang came to find Li Long, whispered and asked:
"Without Xiao Long, I see those rooms are all closed, what's inside?"
Li Long looked at him and said with a smile:
"Brother-in-law, that room is where I live. That one is where Uncle Lao Luo lives, and the kitchen. Those two rooms over there are where the fellow villagers who came to work two days ago live. Their three families have ten or so people, and there are women, so they live in those two rooms."
"Oh, oh..." Chen Xingbang nodded, indicating he understood, and then wanted to say to sit in Li Long's room and talk.
Li Long didn't refuse either, and took him into his room.
Looking at the new furniture in Li Long's room, Chen Xingbang was also very envious, sitting down and asking about earning money sideways.
Li Long in the previous life, that was definitely knowing everything, now, Li Long just said with a smile:
"Dad must have told you, earning money, one is catching fish and selling fish. Winter is coming, catching fish is a suffering job, breaking ice holes, running dozens of kilometers away to sell fish, this winter is cold. Second, it is that I find a relationship to take work, and then everyone does it, how much you do, how much you divide."
Chen Xingbang asked how to take work.
"I have a relationship in the supply and marketing cooperative, taking work from the supply and marketing cooperative." Li Long said very naturally, and Chen Xingbang couldn't ask anymore. What else can he ask? Ask how to deal with the relationship of the supply and marketing cooperative?
"Without Xiao Long uncle, you are powerful enough, I heard the old man say, these wild boars, roe deer and deer are yours?" Li Junfeng shouted outside, "Where did you get these?"
"Got them in the mountains." Li Long stood up, walked to the door and said with a smile, "When I went hunting in the mountains when I was free, I didn't beat them to death and brought them back."
"Yo, you can still go hunting in the mountains? What good things did you beat?" Li Junfeng likes excitement, asked, "Third grandfather said some, wild boar deer wolf, does that wolf bite people?"
"That must be a single person, the wolf pack definitely bites people. If you go into the mountains, you carry a gun, carry things." Li Long said, "Now there are not as many wolves as before, when my big brother and the others first came, there were many wolves, there were wolves around here, now there are more people, and there are fewer wolves."
Several people couldn't help but surround them, listening very strangely. Uncle Lao Luo also came over after feeding the pigs and talked about things here before, making several people who had never left the Central Plains feel eye-opening, it was really different.
"Uncle Lao Luo, don't prepare for us for dinner tonight." Li Long said, "Let's eat together tomorrow, I'll take them to my big brother's place later."
"Okay, okay." Uncle Lao Luo said with a smile, "Then I'll make dough later, and steam buns tomorrow morning."
"Good, good."
Walking out of the old horse station, Li Anguo asked Li Long:
"Without Xiao Long, what is the relationship between this old man and you?"
"The old man used to take care of the horse station in the team, raising horses and donkeys. Later this horse station belonged to me, so I raised some wild boars, got some others, and let the old man raise them."
"Then you have to pay wages, right?" Chen Xingbang inserted a sentence.
"Twenty a month." Li Long nodded.
"Twenty, that's not a little, there are apprentices at home who don't have so much money." Li Junfeng was a bit surprised.
"That's different."
Li didn't say what was different, and took them to Li Jianguo's courtyard.
Hearing footsteps, Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei rushed out, followed by Li Juan and Li Qiang.
"Come into the house quickly," Liang Yuemei greeted enthusiastically, "You must be tired after rushing all the way? Just made soup noodles, come in and eat."
The Eight Immortals table couldn't sit so many people, so Liang Yuemei took Li Juan and Li Qiang to eat in the idle room. There is a lot of wood at home, the idle room built a table, it is not cold yet. Li Juan and Li Qiang were also very curious, their impression of the hometown was originally just grandparents, now there are some uncles and brothers.
The soup noodles with a sour and spicy taste are indeed good things in this cold day, the tomatoes in the northern border are made into sauce, and they are very flavorful here, and then float some green coriander foam on it, looking at it makes people appetite increase. At this time, although the coriander in the vegetable plot is not growing, it is not frozen to death, and can still be pinched to make a decoration in the meal, and it may not be eaten in a few days.
Eating meat diced in the meal, Li Anguo, Chen Xingbang and several others had different tastes.
But they all had one idea, it seems that big brother (uncle) is really living well here, and it is okay to come here to earn money.
After a meal, chatted for a while, it was dark, Li Long took them back to the horse station.
Early the next morning, Uncle Lao Luo cooked breakfast, when Li Long helped, he unexpectedly saw Li Junshan also get up and come over to help, so he chatted with him with a smile.
Li Long really has no impression of his hometown, Li Junfeng is the child of second brother, Li Junshan is the child of third brother, this second brother third brother is the ranking of Li Jianguo and the others.
Li Junfeng and Li Junshan's father are own brothers, they are the children of Li Long's second grandfather, Li Qing Xia is the third in the family, so the two called Li Qing Xia third grandfather.
The relationship is just this relationship, quite close.
"One person is divided into three cents of land in the hometown," Li Junshan said why he came, "Just plant wheat, the courtyard at home can plant some vegetables, the land is small and not necessarily enough to eat. All year round, except for the handed in grain, the rest is really not enough for a family to eat, no way, change wheat to corn, plus sweet potatoes to make up for the rations of a year. Eating is a problem, let alone earning money."
"Then can you and Junfeng do construction?" Li Long asked again.
"Two years ago, when I was free, I went to work with others, later people brought their own relatives to work, and didn't want us."
Okay, this is ultimately a human society.
"It's okay, as long as you can endure hardship, money is definitely easy to earn." Li Long still valued Li Junshan quite a bit. In this day and age, if you want to earn money, if there is no way, it is fine to endure hardship. Honest people are always easier to accept than people with full minds.
Breakfast is steamed buns, corn porridge, stir-fried cabbage, and pickles.
Stir-fried with lard, the taste is fragrant, and they eat a lot.
"Go to catch fish with nets in the small lake with me today." Li Long said to them after eating, "This fish is pulled to the county and city, and it can sell for dozens a day. There will be work later, and then we will start doing it. This fish catching is a job that suffers, breaking ice holes, running dozens of kilometers away to sell fish, this winter is cold. Second brother, you are all familiar with this, the big river is behind the house, stronger than many people in the team."
They naturally have no opinion. They came to earn money, not to play, since Li Long said so, then naturally follow.
It's just that Chen Xingbang is a bit uncomfortable, he is a brother-in-law anyway, just follow the little brother-in-law to work?
But just arrived, he has nothing to say, learn first and then talk. If it really doesn't work, learn it and do it yourself, catch fish and sell fish, what's difficult about this?
!.
Li Long thought so, but in fact, he couldn't do it this way. Because he hadn't taken people to Li Jianguo's side to get nets, Li Xiangqian called, it was Xu Chengjun shouting through the loudspeaker, asking him to go to the village director's place to answer the phone as soon as possible.
Li Long guessed that it should be that the task of the next batch of reed bundles was coming.
He said to Li Anguo and the four people with a smile:
"Alright, it is estimated that there is no need to catch fish, look, work is coming, you wait to earn money."
After Li Long left on his bicycle, Li Junfeng said admiringly:
"This Without Xiao Long uncle is powerful, the phone in the team specifically came to find him, and shouted through the loudspeaker—powerful!"
"Raising wild boars, raising deer, riding a bicycle, and having a gun, and can take work," Li Anguo said with a smile, "That's not really powerful? Mixing to this point, it's worth it."
The content on the phone was indeed as Li Long thought, Li Xiangqian called, telling him that there are currently thirty thousand reed bundle jobs, asking if he can take it.
Li Long turned his head and whispered to Xu Chengjun:
"Captain, can the reeds in our team make thirty thousand reed bundles?"
"Yes, definitely yes!" Xu Chengjun said immediately, "Don't say thirty thousand, fifty thousand can be made..."
"Section Chief, can be made."
"How long can it be completed?"
"Within a month, right." Li Long said, "Now everyone in the team is free, it should be fast."
"A month is not okay, I only give you twenty days." Li Xiangqian said there, "Do you have confidence? This is a hard task, think about it carefully..."
Li Long thought about it, bet on it, and said:
"Okay, twenty days is twenty days! You send a truck over every two days, the same, have to pay on the spot."
"No problem, Technician Chen will come to check then, quality must be guaranteed."
"Good."
After hanging up the phone, Li Long turned to look at Xu Chengjun.
"Thirty thousand?"
"Thirty thousand."
"Twenty days?"
"Um."
"Then can I send it to your place directly today?" Xu Chengjun said a sentence that made Li Long a bit surprised.
"Why? Captain, you have it at home now?"
"Yes." Xu Chengjun said with a smile, "Reed bundles, they have been harvesting here. Hu Lao Er's side collected enough, the remaining reeds at home are also left, so they were harvested yesterday. Then, isn't it just right for you to collect here, so collect them together."
"Okay. But I have to say it in advance," Li Long said half-jokingly, "Captain, the price is fifteen cents, but if it's unqualified, I won't collect it, even if you are the captain, I won't collect it, otherwise I have to compensate, it's not worth it for me."
"Don't worry, if it's unqualified, just return it to me, I won't say half a word!"
"Then Captain, notify now, otherwise others in the team don't know..."
"Good." Xu Chengjun turned on the power switch and pushed the microphone to Li Long:
"You say it."
Li Long didn't refuse either, took the microphone and said:
"Notice, notice, now there is an important notice to tell everyone, everyone listen well, important notice..." (End of chapter)
