Chapter 478: I came to be the boss of the Peace Hotel?
Tang Hongsheng felt he was also damn unlucky. He was extremely regretful now, why was he so persistent in searching there? Isn't it good to go out of the mountains?
Went back once, didn't find anything, halfway out of the mountains, regretted again, as if he still had a piece of land he hadn't searched, finally returned, as a result, he caught up with this spring rain.
It rained, so he couldn't go anywhere. It was hard to wait until the rain stopped, thinking about hurrying to the target area to see, find if he could find it, and leave if he couldn't, as a result, he bumped into two opponents.
Those two saw Tang Hongsheng looking for things, so they ran over and threatened him to hand over the things.
Tang Hongsheng was a good man who didn't suffer immediate losses, so he handed over the few pieces that looked like copper coins or silver coins he had just picked up to them.
That strong one searched Tang Hongsheng's body, and then let him roll. Tang Hongsheng was glad he had hidden the money exchanged from Li Long first, otherwise he would have been searched away.
Knowing that someone had a master here, Tang Hongsheng's meaning was to change a place. Anyway, he found things in the mountains in more than one place, didn't expect that when looking in another mountain gully today, he bumped into those two again.
Fortunately, those two were at the mouth of the gully, when they shouted at Tang Hongsheng, he turned and ran, and then ran to Li Long here.
Watching Tang Hongsheng running in a panic, Li Long put down the bowl and ran to the house to take the rifle. However, he gestured for a long time, but didn't see anything behind this guy.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Long remembered this tall and thin person, asked, "Wolves behind? Or someone chasing you?"
"No, no, no one, I'm just hungry... by the way, do you collect this?" Tang Hongsheng didn't tell the truth, he was worried that if he told Li Long someone was chasing him, Li Long would drive him away, otherwise leaving a trouble.
Tang Hongsheng took out a copper incense burner this time, looking quite heavy, pressing the hand.
There was also green rust all over it, but this incense burner was thick, that bit of rust didn't count as anything.
"Collect," Li Long sat up, took the incense burner and looked at it. He found Liu Shanmin was also looking at the incense burner, so he handed it over and said:
"You look too?"
"This is the system of the Xuande furnace." Liu Shanmin actually had some knowledge, flipped through the furnace, and then said, "But it's a Qing imitation of Ming, not a genuine product."
"Not real?" Tang Hongsheng originally wanted a high price, but hearing it was an imitation, the confidence to call a high price was gone.
"Then can it be exchanged for... ten yuan?" Tang Hongsheng was a bit expectant.
"Can." Liu Shanmin nodded, turned his head to look at Li Long.
"Fine, you say fine, then it's fine." Such a heavy copper furnace, even if going to sell copper, it could sell for three or five yuan, not to mention it was an antique.
"Then can I eat a bowl of rice?" Tang Hongsheng heard it, directly climbed up the pole, he turned his head to look behind, found no one chasing, and the hanging heart was put down.
"Fine." Li Long went to find an enamel bowl to fill him with a bowl of rice, and pointed to the internal organs and wolf meat that were cooked and cut on the cutting board.
Tang Hongsheng took the bowl and immediately wolfed it down. Although he exchanged for some food earlier, how could that compare with here? It couldn't compare at all. He hadn't eaten a proper meal for many days.
Li Long poured him a bowl of rice soup. Since he promised to give people food, don't be too stingy.
After Tang Hongsheng ate two bowls, he patted his stomach and felt he was full. After drinking the rice soup, he stood up and looked at Li Long.
"Go wash the bowl, I'll get you money." Li Long said impolitely, "No one will clean up for you here."
Saying that, he went to the inner room for a turn, and when he came out, he held a big group of ten yuan in his hand.
Tang Hongsheng took the money, looked at the mountains again, and then quickly left after greeting the two.
"Someone was shaking in the forest over there just now, and then retreated." Liu Shanmin said to Li Long after Tang Hongsheng left, "Should be chasing this person."
"Well, should be." Li Long nodded.
"Should be seeing you here, so they didn't dare to continue chasing. Your prestige here is quite high, people don't dare to chase when they arrive at your place."
"It's not that my prestige is high, it's that I have a rifle in my hand." Li Long patted the rifle and said, "This thing is the real power."
Li Long said so, but he hadn't thought that his place might be treated as a place like the Peace Hotel because of these two things.
Don't make trouble here, if you want to make trouble, wait until you leave.
It's just such a field.
Of course, it's just yy, he really doesn't have that prestige.
Lin Xiao Hu and He Yi Ku watched Tang Hongsheng arrive at Li Long's place and sighed.
"Boss, chase or not?"
"Chase what? Can't chase anymore." Lin Xiao Hu turned his head and walked into the mountains, "Now let's go to that point to see, only hope it hasn't been washed away, hasn't been dug by others."
The good news is that several points have been discovered, the bad news is that the things in the several points discovered at present have signs of leakage.
Whether the goal can be truly achieved depends on this last point.
In fact, this last point was basically determined after the rain, when bumping into Tang Hongsheng. It's just that in order to be able to fish more, the two of them searched well in the two locations where Tang Hongsheng happened.
Tang Hongsheng ran to Li Long's place, which also let him escape a disaster. Lin Xiao Hu didn't want to clash with Li Long now.
Not the time yet.
As he said to He Yi Ku, it is to distinguish primary and secondary contradictions. Now the main contradiction is to find all the things, don't cause trouble, the movement is too big, they want to find those things and have no time to find them.
He Yi Ku didn't tangle either, just silently added a stroke to Li Long in his heart. He felt that the tall and thin person must have sold some things to Li Long, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden at Li Long's place.
Hmph, double it all back later!
"This furnace can be processed. If it is sold out, it can also sell for dozens of yuan." Liu Shanmin pointed to the furnace placed on the cutting board and said, "But you have to find a suitable buyer. There are many people who collect these things in the inland, very few here."
"Then put it there, at worst, just use it as an incense burner." Li Long really didn't care, he just wanted to collect it. After all, these things can be slowly arranged and played with when free. Since he has it in his hand, there is no need to watch TV, watch museums.
Seeing Li Long didn't care, Liu Shanmin didn't say much, got up, slowly went to the spring to wash his bowl.
Watching him wash slowly, wash very carefully, Li Long didn't care that much, after cleaning up his own bowls and chopsticks, he planned to fish all the meat in the pot and put it in the small room.
The fire under the stove was withdrawn, the pot was brushed clean and covered, the water inside would be dried, so as long as it didn't rain, the pot wouldn't rust.
After doing these, Li Long looked around, no one came to exchange things, so he went into the house to take out his bedding to dry, and said to Liu Shanmin:
"You're injured, better go hide for a while. Resting is conducive to recovery."
"Good." Liu Shanmin didn't say much, slowly moved back to the shed, uncovered the quilt and lay in.
Li Long took out the bedding to dry, and was too lazy to go find mushrooms again. The sun was too poisonous, better to rest.
And then saw that Tang Hongsheng ran back again.
Li Long looked at him strangely and asked:
"What's wrong with you?"
"This... Boss, I heard your tractor go east every afternoon, where is it going?" Tang Hongsheng didn't answer Li Long's question, but asked instead.
"See that? That's called a carrying pole. I have a group of people weaving carrying poles in the gully to the east, I have to go there every day."
"Can you get out of the mountains there?" Tang Hongsheng asked again.
"Can." Li Long roughly understood Tang Hongsheng's thought.
"Then... can you take me there?"
"Can is can, but it's late then." Li Long hesitated, "Then you can't get out of the mountains."
"Then... can you leave earlier? I'm still afraid." Tang Hongsheng said his thought, "There are still bad people in these mountains, I'm also worried about bumping into... on the road."
"Fine." Li Long thought and said, "Then go to the car carriage to rest, I'll call you when leaving."
Collected people's things, unreasonable requests, can also be satisfied.
In the afternoon, when the sun was still a pole high, Li Long took the remaining rice and meat from the house and carried them to the shed, watching Liu Shanmin lying there thinking about things, so he said:
"I'm going to collect carrying poles now, you just lie here. If someone comes, tell them, just say I'll be back at night. If no one, just rest well. I'll light the fire for you, this time point shouldn't have wolves coming over."
"Good." Liu Shanmin nodded.
Li Long put down the rice, went to take firewood to light the fire pile, then locked the door, and shook the tractor.
Tang Hongsheng lay in the tractor carriage, couldn't sleep, didn't dare to urge Li Long. At this time, seeing Li Long carrying the rifle and shaking the tractor, he was immediately happy.
"Leaving now?"
"Leaving now, sit well."
"I'd better lie in the car." Tang Hongsheng was still worried about being seen, lay in the tractor carriage. "This lying is quite bumpy." Li Long reminded, seeing he didn't come out, didn't care anymore, drove the tractor around, and went east.
The ground had completely dried, the tractor driving on it was really quite bumpy, but Tang Hongsheng could also persist. When he was searched by those two for the first time, he felt that the strong man's eyes were thinking about doing him in.
He didn't want to take risks again, hurry out of the mountains.
When the tractor drove to the mountain gully where Halimu and the others were, Li Long slowed down and said:
"This is the closest to go out of the mountains, there is also a road, do you want to get off?"
Tang Hongsheng climbed up to look, found there was indeed a road leading to the north, he thought about it, jumped off the tractor carriage, and said to Li Long:
"Thank you!"
Then he ran north along the road.
Li Long looked at his back, and then continued to drive the tractor towards Xiaobaiyang Gou.
In Xiaobaiyang Gou, Old Huang just started cooking, everyone was weaving carrying poles. It rained for a day the day before yesterday, delaying a day's work, started working yesterday afternoon, today everyone wanted to catch up with the progress.
!.
Every time one more carrying pole is woven, there are four more yuan in hand, which is real.
In more than a year, Li Long successfully established credibility and guarantee in the team. As long as he said how much money, he finally gave how much money.
Although the requirements are strict, isn't it to be able to get tasks later? Otherwise, this hammer deal, no one can agree.
Every year there are two or three such incomes, then the spare money at home doesn't come out?
After all, if farmers don't have these sideline incomes, they can only wait until the summer harvest and autumn harvest when food is sold for money to have spare money. What to do with money usually?
Now Li Long gives two or three such opportunities a year, and each time he can earn a lot of money. This money is not just used by this family. Who in the team doesn't have relatives and friends? If you are generous in your own hands, you can also take care of others.
At this time, the neighborhood relationship in the village and team is actually very good. Even if there are one or two pairs of opponents, there won't be many.
It's not a life-and-death feud, at most pretend not to see or turn a corner when meeting.
Hearing the chugging sound of the tractor, many people smiled. Li Long didn't come yesterday, they were guessing whether Li Long was doing other things. Even Sun Jia Qiang heard the chugging sound of the tractor, and drilled out from a mountain gully in the south, carrying a fritillaria bag still stained with grass, and hurried over.
Li Long drove the tractor to the side of the dugout, took a bag from beside the seat and handed it to Old Huang:
"Brother Old Huang, this is the wolf offal I stewed today, cut some for everyone to taste at night."
"Good." Old Huang was very happy. He communicated with Gu Bo Yuan before confirming to come here. Gu Bo Yuan cooked last year, basically picking wild vegetables and mushrooms himself. Everyone mainly provided food.
It used to be like this. The master was taking work points, so naturally he had to look for ingredients in his spare time, otherwise just staple food would definitely make everyone have opinions. As a result, after coming over, Li Long brought meat food every few days, and he, the master, was much easier to be.
"Without Xiao Long, did you hunt a wolf?" Li Jianguo heard Li Long say wolf offal and asked immediately.
"No, someone hunted a wolf and exchanged things with me." Li Long explained vaguely.
"Is there anyone else in these mountains with a rifle? Is it a drifter?" Li Jianguo was a bit worried.
"No, this person used a stick to beat the wolf to death. But he was also injured, I exchanged medicine for him." Li Long explained, "It's okay, I mainly exchange fritillaria recently, didn't go hunting."
Li Jianguo was barely relieved and continued to weave carrying poles.
Li Long glanced, found that everyone had five or six or seven or eight carrying poles in front of the pit, the quantity was more than the last time.
When Li Long was looking, Sun Jia Qiang had already carried the bag over, walked to Li Long, and said with a smile:
"Boss Li, why didn't you come yesterday?"
"Yesterday? Went back to the county once. It rained, everyone came to exchange fritillaria, exchanged my things, so I went to the county to purchase some supplies again." Li Long explained.
"We all heard your tractor pass by here, and you didn't stop. I have seventeen or eighteen kilograms of fritillaria here, you come and weigh it for me."
"So much? You went to dig fritillaria even when it rained yesterday?"
"Well, it rained, although it's not easy to walk, but fritillaria is easy to dig. With rain, fritillaria grows crazy these two days, we must dig as soon as possible, otherwise wait for them to grow up and bloom, can only wait until next year."
Li Long weighed these fritillaria for Sun Jia Qiang, seventeen kilograms and a bit, Li Long calculated eighteen kilograms for him, counted fifty-four yuan and handed it to Sun Jia Qiang.
"Heh, really not bad." Sun Jia Qiang took the money, helped Li Long pour the fritillaria into the bag Li Long brought, and then turned his head to look at Old Huang's direction:
"Is the offal you brought cooked?"
"Well, the wolf was taken in the morning, I opened the belly and boiled it in the morning. This thing needs to be put with a lot of seasonings, otherwise it won't taste good."
"Having something to eat is not bad, who cares about so much?" Sun Jia Qiang was already a bit unable to help swallowing saliva. Although the food has been good these days, with meat every day, how could he make up for it in a few days of meat? That is, the two little ones in Li Jianguo's family, who have had meat every day since last year, but if Li Long brings beef bones back and boils them in a large pot, it is also very greedy.
Old Huang's meal today is corn flour paste. Because there is white flour, today specially steamed white flour buns, didn't mix corn flour, considered an extra meal. In fact, it adds up to one and a half buns per person, and the stir-fried dish is mushrooms.
After the rain, there are many grass mushrooms, Old Huang just went to the edge of the mountain and picked a basket back, so he stir-fried half a pot. This thing has enough water, absorbs oil, and is still very delicious after stir-frying.
Li Long put the fritillaria away, and Xie Yun also walked over.
"Brother Yun, how many woven?" Li Long asked with a smile.
"Woven eight from yesterday to today." Xie Yun's tone carried a bit of pride. In fact, once everyone is invested in this work, there are very few things. This time, these people who came didn't make trouble like Xu Jianjun. People from the forestry team around were greeted by Li Long, and there was no trouble, so he was much more relaxed.
"Can, this is thirty or forty yuan." Li Long said with a smile, "Then let's see?"
"Fine, let's see mine first. After seeing, if there are unqualified ones, I still have time to re-weave." Xie Yun didn't take it big, put the words out first, so if there are unqualified ones later, it's easy to explain.
Eight carrying poles checked, Li Long was very satisfied, all qualified. The two carried the carrying poles to the tractor, Li Long took out the notebook and recorded it, and then asked Xie Yun to sign.
Next, taking advantage of the meal not being ready, Li Long looked at
Half of the people had already started eating.
There were offal dishes Li Long had brought over, and a few pieces were divided into each bowl, making the smiles on everyone's faces grow.
This was better than what they ate at home, so they were all very satisfied.
"Little Long, we've really enjoyed a good life working this job for you." Lu Yingming took a fierce bite of a steamed bun and said loudly.
The others were all echoing him.
Li Long finished getting his food and went to his eldest brother's side; Sun Jia Qiang moved over to make room for him to sit, and said with a smile:
"Boss Li, would you consider taking on a little brother? I feel like working under you has a lot of prospects. Why don't you just take me on as your subordinate?"
"What kind of joke are you making?" Li Long said with a smile, "You can earn enough for a color TV in a single fritillary season, and you still want to be someone's little brother? Are you the type of person to be someone's subordinate?"
"As long as you take me, then I'll be one." Sun Jia Qiang said while eating a chopstick of offal, "Being a little brother means being able to eat meat from time to time; isn't that great?"
After speaking, he leaned in close to Li Long and whispered:
"This morning, I saw a monster, a two-headed deer!"
"What? You saw it too?" Li Long asked in surprise.
"What? You've seen it too?"
"Is it a fairly large buck?" Li Long said.
"Yeah! But it ran away when it saw me, and I didn't catch up." Sun Jia Qiang said with some regret, "Actually, I didn't really dare to chase it, fearing it really was a monster." (End of chapter)
