Chapter 532: You guys are addicted to fleecing me alone, right?
These people were skinning sheep, unloading bones, cleaning internal organs, and boiling in large pots at Ha Li Mu's place, while Li Long drove the tractor, with Talihar and another young man beside him.
The grass slope to be harvested today was the pasture of Talihar and that young man's family. Both pastures had been inspected, and wooden stakes and stones had been cleared.
The two came over, one to lead the way for Li Long, and the other to check again, which was considered a re-examination.
Li Long felt it was okay. After all, although this harvester is not precious, a stupid, big, and rough thing, there is only one such refined one. Actually, before Wei Tianxing went to the Kuitun Farm Machinery Factory, Li Long also thought that Director Du said he wouldn't build it, maybe he just said it casually, if there is really business, how can he not build it?
Didn't expect Wei Tianxing really didn't buy it!
So this thing still has to be used carefully, really can't bump into stones, if the blade breaks, it's troublesome.
Watching the two young men seriously patrolling on horseback in front, Li Long drove the tractor *tut-tut-tut* to cut grass behind.
It's still a while before the grass is dry, so they are not in a hurry. Li Long estimated that by the time the last piece of pasture is finished, the grass in the pastures Ha Li Mu and the others cut first will be completely dry.
Anyway, a lot of time has already been saved, so wait if you have to wait.
Harvested two hillsides in the morning, then returned. Working is not urgent, unlike harvesting wheat, which requires rushing tasks to make money. Now there is no rush, just finished the work leisurely, and returned when the sky was hot. It was a bit urgent when coming, didn't bring watermelon, Li Long regretted it a bit.
Must bring a watermelon to cut grass in the afternoon, stop when tired, smash the watermelon and break it, everyone gets a piece and gnaws, how much feeling!
Cut? No, if you cut it, there is no feeling. At this time, eating watermelon is rarely cut, unless guests come. Eating at home is all cut in half, everyone holds half and uses a spoon to scoop it.
At that time, there was no oil in the stomach, so the appetite was large, and a child could eat half a large watermelon.
Now, let alone half, eating two teeth feels about the same.
Used to pick big ones when eating melon, now pick small ones. It's the other way around.
The tractor is not as fast as a horse in the mountains, when Li Long drove the tractor to the winter den, Talihar and the others had already arrived for a while, horses were released, tied up, drank water, and were gnawing bones out of the large pot.
The mutton smell of wild goats is heavier than that of domestic sheep, but there is nothing to pick at this time, it's not bad to have meat to eat.
Li Long saw a large pot boiling miscellaneous, the color is a bit dark, it's halogen.
This large pot can't be halogened, wait until the halogened ones are fished out, and then it will be lowered, at least three or four pots can be finished.
No matter that much, he only cares about cutting grass, this time he doesn't need to work hard to get these fishy things, it's quite good, just eat ready-made ones.
At noon, still eat meat. Ha Li Mu and the others brought yogurt lumps, what surprised Li Long was that several big men actually hit naan at noon, which is a good thing.
Naan soaked in meat soup, gnawing on bones, quite good.
Continued to cut grass in the afternoon, finished two hillsides and finished work, when Li Long returned, the wild goats here, including the previous red deer and other roe deer, had all been cleaned up.
"Take these twenty skins back." Yu Shanjiang said, "Take these halogened miscellaneous away, and take some of these air-dried meat. We will leave them here to eat."
Looking at this, Yu Shanjiang intends to let Li Long take away most of the things hunted in these two days, and they only leave the guarantee for the next work period.
"You guys keep more meat." Li Long said, "I won't come tomorrow morning, the tractor's oil is not enough, I'll go down the mountain to add diesel, and come back in the afternoon. By then I will send some meat to the herdsmen team."
"No need, no need. Since you are going down the mountain tomorrow, then Ha Li Mu and I will also go down the mountain tomorrow." Yu Shanjiang said, "We will go directly to the herdsmen team, and come back in the afternoon."
Li Long thought and smiled, it's true, they have already reached the edge of the mountain, to say that Ha Li Mu and Yu Shanjiang don't go home, this is impossible.
"They can do whatever they want in the mountains, and start cutting grass the day after tomorrow." Yu Shanjiang said, "Is half a day enough for you to go back?"
"Enough, come back early to finish the grass here, and I won't stay in the mountains." Li Long said with a smile, "Alright, I'm going to move things."
Wild goat skins, deer skins, roe deer skins were all collected by him, the two large pots were filled with meat and miscellaneous, and this was not finished, the rest needed Li Long to run one more time.
Li Long has fought such a rich battle, but this form is the first time.
The first car was pulled back, air-dried meat, miscellaneous entered the small room together. Air-dried meat hung up, miscellaneous first served in the basin, anyway, it was halogened, it wouldn't go bad for a night or two.
Pulled one more car back, at this time the sun had already set for more than half a face, these miscellaneous were not easy to put, the basin was not enough. Li Long simply wiped the wooden frame clean, laid it with a clean fertilizer bag, and then put these uncut miscellaneous pieces one by one on it.
Tomorrow can be directly packed in bags and pulled down the mountain.
As for those sheepskins rubbed with salt, they are not afraid of going bad now, just stack them layer by layer on the floor, and pack them into the car tomorrow, and pull them back to clean up.
Pulled back together were two large basins of preserved meat, at this time the oil had soaked in, two large basins were full of fifty or sixty kilograms.
Enough for a family to eat for a year.
Talihar became everyone's hero. Not only did Li Long bring back so much, Ha Li Mu and Yu Shanjiang would also take away a lot of air-dried meat tomorrow. They would also take some preserved meat, but not much, after all, they were not used to eating it.
Li Long put things away, the sky was already dark, he took a piece of halogened stomach and ate it while entering the large room, added coal to the stove, and after pressing it, went to bed.
Sleeping in the middle of the night, he heard the wolf howling outside, clearly the smell of meat here attracted the wolves.
He got up, carried the gun, opened the window, and couldn't see where the wolves were. At this time, the grass here was quite deep and hadn't been cut, and it was not easy to find the wolves hiding in the grass.
Li Long fired two shots at the outside, the wolf howling stopped immediately, he closed the safety, put the window paper back, and continued to sleep.
The next morning, poked the stove that hadn't died out, cut two buns and roasted them, added the halogened miscellaneous from the next room, ate simply with the warm water in the thermos, and started moving things to the tractor.
There were many things, so he had to be careful, couldn't get the food dirty, sheepskins and such didn't matter, just roll them up and stuff them into the corner. He planned to send the few whips that hadn't dried yet to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Anyway, he has a natural talent now, he doesn't look down on this thing. When he gets a big red deer one, he will keep it.
After loading the things, locked the door, drove the tractor *tut-tut-tut* down the mountain.
When the tractor drove to the county, Yu Shanjiang and Ha Li Mu had also arrived at the herdsmen team's station on horseback. People came down the mountain from time to time, and everyone was not surprised. Only Nasen, Sasken and others who were on vacation ran happily toward their father.
This is the grass-cutting season, it is normal for them to come down the mountain. It's just that after Ha Li Mu and Yu Shanjiang said that Li Long used a tractor to cut grass, the family was very surprised.
For thousands of years, cutting grass for cattle and sheep has been done with a sickle, the first time I heard of using a tractor to cut grass, and it was very fast, this thing is quite interesting.
Nasen and Sasken learned a lot of new things at school, and the acceptance of this was relatively high, but the women in the family couldn't think of it.
This is no less surprising than telling those who haven't been to school that iron birds can fly in the sky without falling down.
Then it attracted Adili, the deputy captain.
He himself came to see the two people from the mountains. Ha Li Mu and Yu Shanjiang's status is considered to be staff of the herdsmen team, and they need to greet him when they come down the mountain this time. However, everyone didn't care, Adili cared more about using a tractor to cut grass.
If this thing is really popularized, how much labor can be saved in cutting grass in the future.
Hearing it was Li Long again, Adili secretly envied these two people. Made such a Han friend, someone takes care of the family, the courtyard is repaired, meat and vegetables are sent, and now someone takes care of cutting grass!
Can this grass-cutting thing be popularized? After all, there are so many herdsmen in the herdsmen team, and the grass needed for winter storage is not a small number!
Li Long didn't know that Adili was hitting his idea, at this moment he had already driven to the county, running directly to the large courtyard.
Not yet noon, Li Long unloaded the meat, oil, and skins in the tractor, put the edible things in the kitchen and storage room, and spread the skins one by one to dry in the side room. As for those few whips, Li Long found a newspaper to wrap them up, rode a bicycle and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative hadn't finished work yet, when Li Long arrived, Li Xiangqian was on the phone.
Said a few words, hung up the phone, Li Xiangqian first said to Li Long:
"The work of the big broom is coming, forty days, five thousand big brooms, can you take it?"
"No problem." Last year it was three thousand, three yuan each, the troublesome thing about this thing is the wooden handle. Jiji grass is relatively easy to find. Although the quantity increased by two thousand this year, to be honest, with the momentum of those people in the team wanting to make money, it is definitely no problem to finish it within forty days.
As for the poles, Li Long still planned to do it in the forest. He put the package with the whips on the table, Li Xiangqian glanced at it, sniffed, and asked:
"Whip?"
"Hmm." Li Long said, "One deer's, one roe deer's, the effect is not bad."
"I have it here, you take it to the director later, he is also interested in this." Li Xiangqian said, "But later, don't be in a hurry. The people from the county propaganda are talking in his office, actually you came back just right, what they are talking about is also your business."
"What's the matter?" Li Long was a bit strange, commended already, so long in the middle, should be nothing, right?
"It is said that the county wants to take you as a typical example, to see if there are any things that can be excavated. Your matter of harvesting wheat with a harvester was on the state newspaper, the county propaganda people knew, and felt that this can be used as a material, a material to lead everyone to get rich."
Li Xiangqian was not interested in these, he knew Li Long was the same, mainly still making money to live a good life.
Li Long didn't care, anyway, he had already hung up on the autonomous region side, it didn't matter if he showed off a bit more.
However, he was also a bit helpless, you guys are addicted to fleecing me alone, right?
In a while, there was sound in the corridor, Wei Zhuren's voice, a young girl's voice, Li Long heard it quite familiarly.
When people passed the procurement section, Wei Zhuren saw Li Long and smiled:
"Hey, Xiao Li, you are back. Just right, two cadres from the propaganda side are looking for you, I thought you were still in the village, then you take them to the conference room, just right after the interview it's noon, you take them out for a working meal, the cooperative will reimburse."
Wei Zhuren thought very thoughtfully, Li Long couldn't refuse, so he took the two girls to the conference room.
!.
Wei Zhuren entered Li Xiangqian's office and asked with a smile:
"This Xiao Li came really coincidentally."
"Just came back from the mountains, look, these two are deer whips, originally prepared to send to you, I said you have people there and it's not easy to go over."
"Yo, not bad, let me see... still quite fresh, thoughtful, thoughtful. Okay, then I'll take it." Wei Zhuren re-wrapped it with newspaper, took it and returned to his office.
Li Long took Ma Xiao Yan and Ye Laya to the conference room, someone came to pour water, and then went out.
"Comrade Li Long, we still saw from the newspaper that you drove a harvester to help villagers harvest wheat, it seems you are not only a model of national unity, but also a model of scientific wealth."
Ma Xiao Yan first praised Li Long, then took out a notebook and started interviewing Li Long.
Coming to the supply and marketing cooperative was originally to communicate with this side first, and then go to find Li Long, after all, she also knew that Li Long was a temporary worker and basically not in the unit.
Now that she met him, it was naturally a good thing, and immediately threw out the prepared questions.
Of course, it was mainly how he thought of using a harvester to harvest wheat, how many mu he harvested recently, how wide the scope involved, how much money he earned, etc.
Li Long also answered some vaguely, for example, the scope was said to be large, the mu number was said to be small, and the money number naturally couldn't be told the truth.
"Then Comrade Li Long, what are you busy with recently?" Ye Laya asked a question in the gap.
Ma Xiao Yan didn't expect Ye Laya to take the initiative to ask Li Long questions. Actually, this time it was naturally led by her, and Ye Laya following was considered her cultivation. Now she asked questions while she was recording, which was considered crossing the line.
Must make a note.
Ye Laya didn't know she was on Ma Xiao Yan's small notebook, she asked questions mainly because she didn't want to be cold, this question also didn't have much gold content.
"The herdsmen of your herdsmen team went to the pasture to cut grass, my harvester happened to be idle, so I helped them harvest pasture." Li Long said, "Nearly a thousand mu have been harvested, today the tractor is out of oil, so I came down the mountain to add oil."
"What? You are helping herdsmen harvest pasture?" Ma Xiao Yan didn't expect Ye Laya's casual question to lead to a big thing, she asked excitedly:
"How many days have you been cutting grass? Do you charge money? How long do you have to work?"
"No charge. Ha Li Mu and I are good friends, they help me, I help them, this is no charge." Li Long said, "It's been three or five days, because the pasture of ten or so people is a bit big, so it will take a few more days to finish."
"No charge, isn't that the same nature as you repairing houses and digging wells for them? I understand, I understand." Ma Xiao Yan said excitedly, "Then... when are you going back into the mountains?"
"Go in the afternoon." Li Long didn't quite understand why she was excited.
"Then... don't be in a hurry, how can I find you?" Ma Xiao Yan stood up all of a sudden, "Can you come here before you leave? Wait for us here?"
"Wait for you?" Li Long was a bit surprised, "Wait for you to do what? Are you going into the mountains too?"
"Yes, such a good material—no, deed!" Ma Xiao Yan also had some ambition. Zhang Xin Hua could write about Li Long repairing the courtyard and digging wells in the Autonomous Region Daily, now Li Long voluntarily cutting grass for herdsmen, is there also the potential to be on the Autonomous Region Daily?
Can be on one, she can walk with her head held high in the propaganda side this year.
Of course, leadership support is needed. After all, to go into the mountains, at least there must be a car, can't go into the mountains by tractor, right? Even if you go into the mountains by tractor, how to come back? People have to cut grass.
As for riding a bicycle, that's even more impossible. Li Long can ride a bicycle into the mountains in difficult times, which doesn't mean these two girls can do it. That's not something ordinary people can do.
So what Ma Xiao Yan is thinking about now is to go back quickly, ask the leadership to send a car.
This matter is not a small matter, the matter of national unity is always a big matter here in the autonomous region.
"Lunch time is coming soon," Li Long looked at his watch and said, "Eat before going back, after all, even if you go back now, the leadership should be eating, right?"
Ma Xiao Yan thought it was the same.
Ye Laya was also quite excited. If Ma Xiao Yan applied for it, then she would probably follow, one as an assistant and two as a translator.
Li Long rode a bicycle and carried Ye Laya—Ye Laya didn't have a bicycle, it was Ma Xiao Yan riding a women's bicycle and carrying her, but the women's bicycle was a bit inconvenient to carry people, so Li Long took the initiative to propose that he carry Ye Laya.
Ye Laya agreed. Ethnic girls don't have so many thoughts, sitting on the back of a 28-inch bicycle is naturally more comfortable than sitting on the back of a women's bicycle.
Went to the halal canteen, Li Long asked for the opinions of the two girls, ordered a portion of mixed noodles and two portions of stir-fried noodles.
At this time, girls don't have the saying of being reserved, plus there are things in their hearts, anxious to go back to find the leadership, maybe they have to write a written request, so Ma Xiao Yan ate very quickly, sweeping away the clouds, the three people finished eating almost simultaneously.
Li Long sent people to the county courtyard, and then returned to his large courtyard.
Can't rest at noon, drove the tractor to Yang Da Jie's place first, greeted Gu Xiaoxia, said the matter, and then went to the oil depot to add oil.
Gu Bo Yuan was also eating at Yang Da Jie's place, looked at Li Long and asked a few more questions, mainly about the situation in the mountains.
This time bought two more oil drums, after the tractor was full of oil, it carried four oil drums, probably should be enough to use until the grass cutting is finished, right?
After adding oil, Li Long bought some daily necessities, mainly halogen materials, including some vegetables.
In August, there are more fresh vegetables in the market, bring more chili, eggplant and beans up, to avoid getting angry from eating meat every day.
Everything was prepared, and returned to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Ma Xiao Yan hadn't arrived yet, Li Long dialed to Xu Chengjun in the team using the phone in Li Xiangqian's office.
"Captain, it's time to tie the big broom, can you notify everyone, start cutting Jiji now to prepare."
"Really? That's fine, how many?"
"More than last year." Li Long didn't report the number directly.
"Good, good, good, too good! I'll notify now!" Xu Chengjun was actually waiting for this work. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
