This body being young is good. Once the biological clock is formed, it is fixed. Early to bed and early to rise made him feel exceptionally energetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ate breakfast first, then went to the horse stable to harness the horse-drawn carriage. Old Luo even carefully loaded a bundle of grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming out of the horse stable, Li Long hadn't gone to call anyone yet, but Tao Daqiang had already followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you eaten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, drank fish soup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them talked intermittently. When they returned to the Li family and loaded the three bags of fish, the two of them drove the carriage and went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long went to sell fish again. This news quickly spread in the production team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really not enough, not believing in evil? Just wait until you get caught and you'll be honest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Li family's second son is really able to stir up trouble, not staying at home all day, running out every day, sooner or later he will be caught and locked up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this drilled into the money eye? The team leader just spoils him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are also people who are suspicious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are the people in the city that short of fish? They get tired of eating it after two meals at home, how can they eat it every day? Who is that fish sold to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Running every day, must have earned a lot, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And naturally, there are more envious people:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the Li family's Little Two dares to run, he must have a way that others don't know. Knowing that Gu Ermao and Tao Dayong were caught and still daring to run, he's not afraid. Is there someone above?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister-in-law Lu came to the Li family to visit and also asked about Li Long going to sell fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Li Juan and Li Qiang's new shoes, new toys, and new school bags, Sister-in-law Lu's praise for Li Long didn't stop, and then she said she would introduce someone to Li Long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yumei still said the same thing: it depends on Li Long himself. At the moment, Li Long doesn't have this intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the truth. She actually took the time to tell Li Long about the person Sister-in-law Lu wanted to introduce. Li Long had an impression of that girl; in his previous life, she also married a young man in the village. How to say it, it's not Li Long's dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long didn't know that the people in the team were talking a lot. He and Tao Daqiang drove for more than an hour to the county, bought four meat buns, two for each, and ate while driving to Shicheng. When they arrived in Shicheng, it was around twelve o'clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a horse-drawn carriage is faster than Li Long walking by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Long, are we still going to that family courtyard?\" Tao Daqiang didn't remember the road, so he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change to another one, go to the family courtyard of the Bayi Sugar Factory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Northern Xinjiang cannot grow sugarcane, but there is another kind of sugar-making raw material—sugar beet, also called sugar radish. In his previous life, Li Jianguo developed himself into a professional pig farmer, and what he planted the most was sugar beet. The leaves of this thing can be broken off, chopped up, and mixed with other things to boil and feed the pigs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the sugar beet grows up, it's better to cut it into slices and boil it to feed the pigs—of course, the best use of planting this in the countryside now is to boil sugar syrup first, and then feed the waste to the pigs, which belongs to complete utilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Li Jianguo has been raising pigs for the past two years. In order to get pig feed, he has gone to the Bayi Sugar Factory more than once to dig out their sugar factory's waste—after the sugar factory processes the sugar beet, the waste is thrown away directly. There is no awareness of recycling yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Li Long is very familiar with the road to the Bayi Sugar Factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the sugar factory family courtyard, Li Long asked Tao Daqiang to lead the carriage and wait outside, wipe the horse's sweat, rest, and then feed the grass, while he carried a bag of fish and walked into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar routine, but this time the old man at the gate didn't buy fish, but he didn't stop him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the courtyard, seeing someone walking, Li Long unfolded the plastic sheet he bought the day before, laid out the fish one by one, and shouted in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Selling fish, fresh big carp, cheap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was not loud, but it quickly attracted the attention of those few people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two people hesitated and walked over, and two others didn't move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this fish sold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where was this fish caught?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fish was caught from the Maxian Reservoir, pure wild fish. Look at this carp, the head and tail are red, how beautiful. The price is not expensive either, two yuan a piece. Look at how big this fish is, all over two kilograms, which is less than one yuan per kilogram—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having sold fish many times, Li Long's sales pitch also became practiced. This time, in two days, the \"standard big fish\" caught by Li Jianguo and Tao Daqiang were over seventy, and there were over twenty kilograms of \"standard crucian carp,\" which was the most Li Long had sold since he started selling fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two yuan? That's expensive, make it cheaper?\" Someone wanted to buy and habitually started bargaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big sister, it's really not expensive.\" Li Long shouted grievances, \"The ice in the reservoir is frozen almost a meter thick now. We spent more than two hours breaking ice holes at minus thirty-something degrees. It's really just earning a hard-earned money. Look at this fish, the gills are red, very fresh, caught yesterday, and we walked for four hours to get here... It's really not expensive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... I'll take one. What kind of fish is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five-striped black, this fish is garlic-petal meat, eats small fish, the taste is very good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is five-striped black? Then I... one carp, one five-striped black!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, shall I thread it for you with a thin iron wire?\" Li Long asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, young man, you're quite thoughtful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long practicedly took a thin iron wire, threaded it through the gill cover, threaded the fish, and handed it over. The other party took out five yuan. Li Long pointed to the small fish and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This crucian carp is one yuan for fifteen, almost two kilograms. Shall I give you small fish for the remaining one yuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. But how do I take the small fish?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Small fish are hard to thread. Why don't you go back first, big sister, and bring a basin to hold them? I can't run away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One business deal was done, and the next was much smoother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that the enthusiasm for buying fish in the sugar factory was not as high as in the agricultural machinery factory family courtyard. Although people came to buy from time to time, more than half an hour had passed, and a bag of fish hadn't been sold out yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By lunchtime, there was no one in the family courtyard, and the smell of food wafted in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long decided to close the stall and change places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collected the fish and carried the bag out of the family courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man at the gate saw it and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, if you want to sell fish, you have to come in the afternoon. At this time, people are all in the factory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, old man.\" Li Long took a silver carp out of the bag and handed it over:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A gift for you to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll accept it.\" The old man at the gate didn't expect that one sentence would be exchanged for a fish, and happily accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Daqiang saw that there was still a third of the bag Li Long was carrying, so he asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Long, can't sell the fish?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, the time is wrong. Let's go, let's go to the old street!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old street in Shicheng has always been quite famous. There are cars going to several cities in Northern Xinjiang, and there are many people coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Long arrived, he changed a bag, still let Tao Daqiang park the horse-drawn carriage in the distance, while he carried the bag and asked everyone he met:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fresh big carp, selling cheap, want some?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of ten people, one might stop to talk, but Li Long wasn't discouraged. Soon he sold one fish, then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, a bag of fish was sold out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the people traveling here were going home for the New Year, and many were carrying big and small bags, having already prepared a lot of New Year goods, so they didn't care about one or two more fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another hour, only half a bag of fish was left on the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long couldn't shout anymore, his throat was a bit hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, go eat.\" Li Long said to Tao Daqiang, \"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still three or four hours before dark. Li Long was confident that after eating, he could sell out the fish before dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1595,"2026-06-14T06:06:39.549Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","bfbcc2c9c2589ff666e52a6cf41f5b537cc127049beed94d37feac4f13c25d8d","reborn-in-1981-fishing-and-hunting-in-the-northw-chapter-61","reborn-in-1981-fishing-and-hunting-in-the-northw-chapter-59",180,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-1981-fishing-and-hunting-in-the-northw-cover.jpg"]
