Chapter 498: Inventory: Earn a ten-thousand-yuan household in a month!
When Li Long returned to the big courtyard, it was already noon. Now going to Sister Yang's house, in fact, just happened to catch up with lunch.
However, Li Long didn't go over, he drove the tractor into the courtyard, got off the car, and fastened the door. Took down the fritillaria and those things in the tractor one by one and put them away, then entered the bedroom to change clothes, and fell asleep.
During this time, he actually rested quite well, basically didn't stay up late at night, and there was no need to stay up late.
But now he just wanted to have a good sleep.
After finishing a big job, it was settled, a void in his heart, feeling that he had put down many burdens invisibly. The nerves that had been tense all along relaxed, and it was indeed necessary to have a good deep sleep to relieve it.
Some people say that if you are tired and want to recover, men rely on eating and women rely on sleeping, in fact, men also need good deep sleep to relieve it.
Li Long didn't sleep for a long time, when he woke up, looking at the sunlight coming through the window, it should be five or six o'clock in the afternoon.
When he didn't sleep well in his nap in the past, he would occasionally have dizziness, today there was none.
When he woke up, he only felt hungry.
Got up, put on clothes. The clothes he wore back from the mountains were rolled into a ball and thrown into the basin behind the door, preparing to wash in the evening. He went out after changing clothes.
There are materials in the kitchen, steamed buns, simmered meat, if he wants to make it, it won't take half an hour to make a delicious meal.
However, Li Long didn't want to make it. He went to wash, wiped his face, felt much clearer, and then pushed the bicycle out of the door.
After fastening the door, rode the 28-inch bicycle to the canteen.
There were more bicycles parked at the entrance of the canteen than before. Although it wasn't mealtime, after locking the car and entering, Li Long found that there were still a few people eating at this time.
The small blackboard hanging on the wall wrote today's dishes, staple food, and prices. In the past, most of them needed grain coupons, now it seems nearly half don't need them.
Two-thirds of the tables were empty, Li Long went to find the waiter to order a bowl of mixed noodles with oil-fried meat, and at the same time asked for two additional noodles, then took the ticket to find a table, sat down, and started peeling garlic.
The canteen is very particular, now what's taken out is new garlic, new garlic eating noodles tastes very good, appetizing.
However, this thing is particular about moderation. Li Long had a friend in his previous life who could peel half a bowl of garlic for himself when eating noodles. Li Long doesn't do this, a plate of noodles, two or three cloves of garlic are enough. After peeling, pinch the garlic into small pieces with hands, put them into the tea bowl, and wait for the noodles to come.
The waiter looked at Li Long who only peeled those two or three cloves of garlic, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Still okay, not greedy.
Soon, the noodles and dishes were served, Li Long directly poured the dishes into the noodle bowl, took the additional noodles and poured them in together, took the vinegar pot and pointed it on the noodles, then fished out the garlic and put it into the bowl, mixed it a few times without haste, let the noodles be dipped in the vegetable juice, and then ate it in big mouthfuls.
Fragrant!
Didn't eat two mouthfuls, Zhong Guo Qiang sat over.
"Little Li, are you down the mountain? I heard from Section Chief Li that the work you were doing in the mountains is finished?"
"Finished." Li Long swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said.
"I also heard that you got a bear in the mountains?"
"Hmm." Li Long nodded, "Luck was good and ran into it."
"That bear paw..."
"Sorry, gone." Li Long waved his hand, "Family members divided it, and it was eaten."
"Sigh, alright. I still knew the news late. If you run into it later, no matter what, leave me one or two bear paws, I'll definitely give a high price here!"
"Good." Li Long nodded, "If I hunt it later, I'll find you first."
Whether he finds him or not is another matter, at least these words must be in place.
"Good, good, good. That bear meat..."
"I do have some bear meat, some air-dried, some simmered." Li Long asked, "Which kind do you want?"
"Is that so... can you send me some air-dried ones when you have time?"
"Good." Li Long agreed.
"Good, you eat." Zhong Guo Qiang stood up, "Remember if you hunt it, you must leave me some!"
Li Long nodded and continued to eat.
Others who were eating, including the waiter, were a bit dumbfounded.
Hunted a bear? Are there bears in the mountains?
Don't blame these people for not knowing. Over eighty percent of the people in the county seat have never been to the mountains. North of the northern slope of Tianshan is nearly 300,000 square kilometers, Ma County territory is 12,000 square kilometers, the main terrain is mainly basin plains.
So people who enter the mountains are a minority. They know there are wolves and deer in the mountains, but there are bears, this kind of animal, maybe someone knows, but the vast majority of people haven't seen them.
Some people, let alone now, in their whole life, only saw bears in Tianshan on TV or short videos in the end, as for other rare wild animals, that might not even have heard of them.
So hearing Zhong Guo Qiang say Li Long hunted a bear, the expressions of these people were like seeing a god.
Li Long didn't care so much, enjoying the enjoyment brought to his stomach by the mixed noodles, finished eating, asked for another bowl of noodle soup, poured it into the noodle bowl, rinsed the vegetable juice, and drank it into his stomach together.
Comfortable.
Refreshing!
Perfect!
Burped loudly, Li Long pushed the noodle bowl forward, wiped his mouth, and then discovered there was no paper. Oh, this era doesn't provide paper yet, toilet paper is still considered a relatively rare thing.
He picked up the tea bowl, drank a mouthful of tea that was already slightly cool to rinse his mouth, held the water and walked out, and spat it outside.
There were obviously more people on the street than a month ago. Although Li Long would come back every few days in the middle, in fact, he came and went in a hurry, and didn't have the opportunity to compare what was different from the past.
There were more smiles on the faces of people coming and going, some were still discussing things related to life, such as new things in the department store, people selling cooked meat in the market, more beef in the food company store, etc.
Life is slowly becoming beautiful.
Li Long rode his bicycle and pedaled slowly back, when he returned to the big courtyard, he felt it was time to take stock of his family property.
Took his satchel, and then piled the money placed in the room over. Li Long started to calculate.
First is the money for weaving lifting poles.
The supply and marketing cooperative settled 8,416 yuan, he gave his big brother 800, remaining 7,616 yuan.
The supply and marketing cooperative received 1,052 lifting poles, but Li Long's account book received 1,061. Of the remaining nine, one was judged unqualified at Xiaobaiyang Gou, and the remaining eight were in the shed on the wooden cabin side.
Of these 1,061 lifting poles, Li Jianguo wove 101, Li Long gave 800 yuan, defaulting to equivalent to 100 lifting poles, that unqualified one is counted to big brother, this way it's easy to settle the account.
Then the remaining 960 lifting poles were for the rest, Lu Yingming and the others. 960 lifting poles, Li Long gave 3,840 yuan.
So this time weaving lifting poles Li Long earned 3,776 yuan—but he didn't get this much in hand, still have to deduct the 1,000 yuan kickback given to Li Xiangqian, net income 2,776 yuan.
This money, if put to last year, that's definitely a big sum of money. Li Long remembers the money he earned when he first went into the mountains and came out, it was still the ten-plus yuan earned from selling deer antlers.
At that time, it felt like it was already a lot.
But now, in more than a month, just watching others weave lifting poles, turning around and turning over 2,700-plus yuan, actually felt it wasn't much.
He really is inflated.
Put these 2,776 yuan aside, and continue to calculate.
In front is a big pile of money. Since this life, Li Long has never seen this big pile of money.
Money sold from fritillaria.
Have to say, his flash of inspiration at the time, setting up a small shop in the mountains, selling things on one side and collecting fritillaria on the other, this idea is really correct.
Last year Li Long actually did similar things, but at that time it was small-scale, and didn't have a reputation, those people didn't even want to believe him.
But this year is different, it can be said that Li Long's wooden cabin really had the role of a gold-lettered signboard among those mountain people and blind drifters who dig fritillaria. Within the scope of Li Long's wooden cabin, forest rangers wouldn't go to disturb, think about this effect.
Although the price was pressed very low, it saved time.
Of course, Li Long wasn't sure if he could collect so many fritillaria next year, but it didn't matter. If he can collect it, it's best, if he can't, then collect other things. Anyway, there will always be things to do.
He has bookkeeping, the dried fritillaria sold to the purchasing station this year is 377 kilograms.
If calculated at one to seven, that is to say, in this month-plus time, he at least received two and a half tons of fresh fritillaria.
Li Long vaguely remembers, in later generations, in the 2010s of the 21st century, the forestry department confiscated 22 kilograms of fritillaria dug by digging personnel in the mountains, which was already considered a big case.
377 kilograms of fritillaria, the selling price was 16,965 yuan, but this is not net income.
After all, Li Long has to invest capital, collecting at three yuan per kilogram.
Li Long counted the money remaining now, this big pile, excluding the nearly 7,000 yuan given to those digging fritillaria and Bolati and these people in the middle, he still had 10,079 yuan in his hand.
Of course, two and a half tons of fritillaria, at three yuan per kilogram, actually should have gone out at least 7,500. Then calculate impurities and the like, Li Long gave those digging fritillaria at least 8,000.
However, there is another thing in the middle, he doesn't just collect fritillaria, he also bought daily necessities from the county, took daily necessities to exchange for fritillaria, and earned quite a lot in this back and forth. And the wild game hunted in the mountains, those meat also exchanged for quite a lot of fritillaria, these have no cost—or the cost is his own strength and bullets, can't count.
!.
So now selling fritillaria, he alone earned a net profit of over 10,000!
If this is said out, wouldn't it shock many people's teeth?
Don't look at the ten-thousand-yuan households in every township and village now. But Li Long is very clear, this ten-thousand-yuan household is the same as the ten-thousand-yuan household of Sun Shaoan's family in "Ordinary World", it's counting all the family property, not earning money to a ten-thousand-yuan household in a year.
So Li Long just relied on collecting fritillaria, and earned 10,000 purely, which has already surpassed over ninety percent of the people in the current area.
This also reminded Li Long of two kinds of people doing business in later generations.
Both are Chinese New Year. One is heard of, one is seen.
Heard of is, it is said that in a certain place, once it's Chinese New Year, someone can get the sales permit for fireworks and firecrackers in advance, pull a truck from the production area to the city to sell. Just sell that season, start selling fifteen days before the New Year, sell until New Year's Eve, then clear the goods, then count the money and sleep.
Those with big foundations earn 200,000 to 300,000 in fifteen days, those with thin foundations earn a little less, but it's also about a year's income.
Then can rest for a year. Of course, it's impossible to really rest, but this money is enough.
Of course, later when fireworks and firecrackers were managed strictly, there were no such good things.
There is another one he has seen. At the entrance of the vegetable market, every Chinese New Year, someone pulls a truck of fresh chili to sell. Big truck, big tarpaulin covered, big plastic bag packed, and not expensive.
Everyone has the habit of hoarding vegetables during Chinese New Year, people in Northern Xinjiang must put chili when stir-frying. The ones in the greenhouse in winter are expensive, so put less. Now there are fresh ones, and cheap, Chinese New Year no matter what, have to buy a few kilograms?
Then it will be snatched up quickly, and continue to pull a truck over the next day.
A few trucks of chili before Chinese New Year can earn several hundred thousand—in fact, it's just renting a train freight car, pulling a train carriage of chili from the mainland, then renting a warehouse in the city, and can directly start selling.
A carriage of dozens of tons, excluding the damaged chili, the gross profit can earn 300,000 to 400,000. After all, during the two days of Chinese New Year, the price of chili here can rise to 25, 28, selling 18 on this truck is not expensive, right? It's much cheaper to collect from the mainland.
Earning this much once a year, usually just small-scale.
Later, there were more greenhouses around, and more people planting chili, so such things were not easy to do.
Li Long feels that before completely banning the digging of these wild Chinese herbal medicines, he can do this.
It's a pity that Codonopsis pilosula isn't dug like this, otherwise, he can also come and try it then.
Put these 10,079 yuan in the middle. High pile, looks very beautiful.
The third pile is the money left from last year to this year.
In fact, before weaving lifting poles from last year to this year, the money Li Long earned also exceeded 10,000.
Bought a tractor, bought a color TV, bought this courtyard, built a house in the team, and divided quite a lot.
Remaining in hand, there are four 1,000-yuan passbooks, two 500-yuan passbooks, and several stacks of whole money placed in the room that have never been used, totaling 7,000 yuan.
Small change is usually carried on the body, occasionally buying things, or doing other things, just use it as you go.
What is placed on the table is all his property.
In the past, Li Long didn't pay much attention, but after this matter was finished, Li Long felt that he couldn't be like this anymore.
In fact, in the village, in many people's families, it is completely different from thirty or forty years later. At this time, men manage money, women manage the family.
However, Li Long didn't intend to do this. Previously, he had already said, buy a few more TVs. Otherwise, Gu Xiaoxia would have nothing to do at home, which is not good. Now watching TV is considered a good leisure method, and other people's families have TVs, discussing TV content during work breaks, your family doesn't have a TV, easy to be isolated, right?
Li Long doesn't want his wife to be wronged in this regard.
He plans to give the 5,000-yuan passbook and 2,000-yuan cash to Gu Xiaoxia, let her handle it. He saves 10,000 of the remaining money in the bank, and holds the remaining 2,000-plus in his hand, for an emergency.
After distributing this money, Li Long also felt much easier in his heart.
Now the fritillaria air-dried in the side room, and the fritillaria he pulled back this trip can still sell for several thousand yuan, adding up to buy a TV is enough.
And those large and small Hetian jade seed materials, as well as top-grade jasper seed materials, and those few pieces of natural gold, their value is not easy to estimate, Li Long also didn't plan to calculate in detail. These things have to be put for decades to reflect their value.
Now even if Li Long goes to sell, he is reluctant.
Although some people in later generations say that in fact, the Hetian jade dug out now is only one-tenth of the total, and Hetian jade, like diamonds, is also hyped up, but Li Long feels that the Hetian jade seed materials in his hands are of such high level, no matter what, putting them in thirty years later, it's impossible to sell for a cabbage price.
Put it there.
After clearing his money, Li Long packed them separately and went out of the room.
He looked at the time, there was still more than an hour before Gu Xiaoxia finished work, so he went to the kitchen to see first.
Ate mixed noodles at noon, and also got two additional noodles, logically speaking, shouldn't be hungry.
But Li Long has great strength and consumes quickly, so he wanted to make dinner.
There is simmered meat, there are small green vegetables in the courtyard, Li Long thought about making cold noodles with sauce.
Fresh and refreshing, eating is also comfortable.
The simmered meat itself is broken, fished out, stir-fried with sauce to make meat sauce for later use, and then it's noodles.
Dried noodles will do, he is also too lazy to knead noodles and pull noodles. Cooked dried noodles, prepared a bowl for himself, and cooked another bowl for Gu Xiaoxia. Afraid that the noodles would stick together, he mixed them with cooked oil.
Small green vegetables, leeks, celery, washed clean, all passed through boiling water, squeezed out the water, and cut into dices as vegetable toppings.
After preparing everything, Li Long covered these things, then went out of the kitchen, went to the glass room to release the roe deer and fawn, cleaned the glass room, changed water and food for them.
The four big and small guys rushed directly to the vegetable garden, were waved a few times by Li Long with a stick, only then did they know fear, and then went to other places in the courtyard to frolic.
Li Long opened the side room to let the fritillaria smell dissipate. Although air-dried in the side room, the smell inside was still quite large.
Bear skin and deer skin were in another room, also opened to let air in. The roe deer smelled this faint smell of blood and was still a bit afraid.
Let these few guys who were already considered familiar run for twenty-plus minutes outside, Li Long drove them in again. Although reluctant, they were cooperative, knowing that it was like this every day, they smelled new food after entering, and immediately went over to grab it.
Sugar residue and other feed were still quite a lot, it's just a pity that it's not easy to get green grass in the city.
Li Long suddenly thought, although he got quite a lot of feed for Uncle Uncle Lao Luo Shu at the old Ma number, Uncle Uncle Lao Luo Shu still went out to cut green grass every day. Now there are quite a lot of things fed there, should he equip Uncle Uncle Lao Luo Shu with a horse cart or donkey cart?
His negligence!
Li Long felt that when he went back this trip, he had to implement this matter. This thing itself is not expensive, Uncle Uncle Lao Luo Shu is not young, carrying grass back and forth every day, it is really quite hard.
Hmm, this matter, must remember.
When he walked to the front courtyard again, the big gate was pushed open, and Gu Xiaoxia came in with a face full of joy. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 499 =====
