Chapter 788
After Li Long knew that the county had opened another acquisition station, he became curious.
He actually didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party opening an acquisition station. Although Ma County is small, it is relative to Shi City and Urumqi. With a county area of more than ten thousand square kilometers, for an individual like him, it is already a very large volume. He couldn't eat up the resources here by himself.
Let alone him alone, even ten people couldn't eat it up.
Early the next morning, after Li Long got up, he set up the stove. Gu Xiaoxia took care of Mingming and Haohao. After washing his hands, he went to the kitchen to get an enamel mug, connected half a mug of water, and then went to the back to squeeze goat milk.
At this time, ordinary people's families no longer set up stoves, which wastes coal. But Li Long's place is different. Mingming and Haohao are in the room, and they are restless when sleeping at night. Li Long doesn't want the children to catch a cold, so he plans to keep the stove until early April, when the weather is completely hot, and then stop the fire.
The two little lambs are curious about the new place. At this time, they have started to frolic in the courtyard. Li Long saw some small sheep poop in the vegetable garden, and the newly grown chives and celery tips have traces of being gnawed, so he knew that these two little guys had started to think about eating things other than goat milk.
Good thing.
After Li Long arrived at the dairy goat, the goat just bleated and lay there ruminating.
Li Long drove the goat up, stepped on the rope tying it with one foot, and then squatted down to prepare to wash with the water in the enamel mug.
At this time, there are not so many stresses. The dairy goat may be squeezed often and is used to it, so it just retreated two steps slightly. Because the rope was stepped on, the range of activity was not large, so it gave up.
Li Long washed, poured out the water in the mug, and then started to work.
This enamel mug is quite large. If it is full, it can hold one and a half kilograms. Li Long squeezed on both sides, feeling that the quantity was very sufficient. It felt like it didn't take long to squeeze out more than a kilogram.
However, Li Long didn't squeeze anymore. The rest needs to be left for the two little goats.
The two little juli smelled the smell and ran over bleating. Li Long had already stood up at this time. The two little lambs first rubbed against it, and then went to eat.
Li Long released the rope he stepped on, watched the ewe lower its head to smell the two lambs, then raised its head to look at Li Long, and continued to ruminate.
Li Long patted its head, turned and went to the kitchen.
Sister Yang was cutting pickles. Li Long put the goat milk on the cutting board and said:
"Sister Yang, add water to boil this goat milk, and then Let Xiao Fang, Mingming and Haohao will drink some."
"Mingming and Haohao drink it, what does Let Xiao Fang drink?" Sister Yang has a sense of proportion and doesn't let Han Fang drink it.
"The child is still young, when growing up," Li Long waved his hand, "This dairy goat has high milk production, every day, squeeze twice in the morning and evening, squeeze, burn and drink now, and can't be put, so the children will drink together."
No matter how big Mingming and Haohao's appetite is, they are less than one year old. How much goat milk can they drink? This thing is best to squeeze, burn and drink now. The three adults will definitely not move, so let Let Xiao Fang drink together.
Sister Yang didn't speak anymore. She definitely felt sorry for her own child, but she put her position very correctly and resolutely didn't want what she shouldn't have.
Now Li Long insisted, so she didn't say anything more.
Li Long entered the room to wash. Mingming and Haohao were sitting there babbling and pulling each other to play. Gu Xiaoxia had finished washing.
At this time, women's washing and dressing are very simple, at most they apply more snowflake cream, stick oil, etc. than men, and then tie their hair and pin a hairpin. Those who are particular will apply some osmanthus hair oil on their heads, which is the top.
So it doesn't take much time at all, and it can be done quickly.
"Did you go to squeeze goat milk?" Gu Xiaoxia asked Li Long, "Is it easy or not?" She hadn't tried it yet, so she was a bit curious.
"I'll demonstrate to you when you come back from work in the afternoon, it's very easy to squeeze." Li Long said while washing his face, "Dairy goat, that juli is very obedient."
Li Long thought that his brother specifically found a dairy juli for himself. In fact, Li Juan and Qiangqiang are just at the time of growing up, and it is right to drink goat milk every day.
The cattle and sheep raised by Halimu, Yushanjiang and others don't have dairy goats, they are all local sheep and juli, so if they want to find them again, they have to go to the livestock market by the Ma River.
However, he plans to go to the market to see this morning to see how that acquisition station is doing. If the other party is doing very well, he must have countermeasures. He can't be a salted fish.
Han Fang looked at the small bowl of goat milk in front of her and shook her head and said:
"Give this to Mingming and Haohao! I'll drink porridge!"
"All have, all three of you children have." Gu Xiaoxia already knew what Li Long said to Sister Yang, and said with a smile, "Drink it, goat milk is nutritious, you are still young, drink it to grow up."
Han Fang turned her head to look at Sister Yang. Sister Yang said: "Drink it, drink it, your uncle and aunt specifically said, you also drink it, look at how good they are to you..."
Han Fang smiled, lowered her head and held the bowl, and took a tight sip.
The milk skin of goat milk is very thin. The layer on it stuck to her lips when Han Fang drank it. She picked it with her hand and put it into her mouth and chewed it and said: "Fragrant, really fragrant!"
It is indeed quite fragrant, and you can smell this smell on the dining table.
Gu Xiaoxia peeled an egg and stuffed it into Li Long's hand, and she also peeled one.
Li Long took a steamed bun, broke it open, put the egg in, closed it and squeezed it, and then ate it in big mouthfuls, saying while eating:
"Wait two days to sprinkle some Jingjie seeds in the vegetable garden. After it grows, there will be new garlic, and there will be a lack of egg garlic to eat."
"Okay, don't even wait for Jingjie to grow, there will be a lack tomorrow." Sister Yang said, "Eggs and garlic are ready-made."
Every time Li Long returns to the team, his sister-in-law will bring him a basket of eggs—the basket is woven with reeds, very exquisite, and every time Li Long brings it back, he will bring the empty basket back.
There are also many eggs sent by Meng Hai. The family eats them every day, eats them in different ways, and can't finish them.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you finish eating. The eggs sold in the market now are almost all considered local eggs. When you open the egg yolk, it is red and yellow, looking very beautiful.
After breakfast, Gu Xiaoxia went to work, Han Fang went to school, and Li Long went to see Mingming and Haohao to feed them warm goat milk. Sister Yang tidied up the kitchen and had to feed the little creatures in the courtyard.
After Sister Yang finished tidying up, Li Long saw that the sun had already spilled outside, and the temperature slowly rose, so he moved the bed-cart with Mingming and Haohao out and placed them outside.
The large courtyard wall is high, the wind can't blow in, but the sun can shine in, which is quite comfortable.
The two children are wearing padded jackets outside their coats, not afraid of the cold, and they are also very happy outside.
Those lambs, little red deer, and Xiao Hei gathered around. Li Long glanced at it and found that there was a sneaky little hedgehog in the corner that had actually ended its hibernation and was looking for food.
It's just that the movement here is a bit big, it dare not come over, and can only walk against the wall.
Sister Yang came over to take over Li Long to watch the children after finishing her work. Li Long pushed his bicycle out of the door, rode it and rushed to the market.
There are fewer people on the street. Students have arrived at school, and those who go to work have basically arrived at their units. Only those who have things to do like Li Long, or those who come from other cities or villages will walk on the street at this time.
When Li Long arrived at the market, he found that there were quite a lot of people here.
He saw the acquisition station in the corner of the market at a glance—the market gate hadn't been built yet, and the location of this acquisition station was now very good.
The so-called golden corner and silver edge are also quite good when used here.
Li Long vaguely remembered that this shop had been sold long ago, and he didn't know whether it was bought by that young man at that time, or whether it was transferred to his hand by some method later.
He parked his bicycle at the parking lot, locked the car and walked into the market.
There is a large sign on the acquisition station: "Weimin Acquisition Station", the sign is quite good-looking.
A small blackboard is hung on the wall by the door, on which it is written in a very standard imitation Song typeface:
"Acquire various skins, medicinal herbs, cashmere and other specialties, reasonable prices, welcome to sell!"
There are five or six people waiting at the door with bags, and someone inside is grading and weighing the goods.
Li Long has nothing in his hand. Anyway, his hearing is good, so he walked to the shop next to him, looking at the goods in this shop while listening to the movement next door.
"Let me tell you, although this yellow sheep skin of yours has no bullet holes or peeled places, the oil layer left when peeling is too thick. This has to be sent to the leather factory, and people have to work hard to scrape the oil on it. Although it is a full skin, the price can't go up. I'll give you forty for this one..."
"Too cheap, right? Add some..."
"Add two yuan at most. If it doesn't work, go to other places to see. Let me tell you, I was retired from the supply and marketing cooperative and re-employed here. I won't say I have fiery eyes, but at least I can see eight or nine out of ten. Forty-two, it's already very high!"
"Alright, alright!"
"Come, issue a ticket and settle the account, give you cash... Next!"
"I'm here to sell juli cashmere."
"Open it and see, it's quite a lot. Did you raise juli at home?"
"Hmm, raised some."
"This cashmere is not from this year, right? This year's cashmere hasn't come down yet."
"Last year's cashmere, but the cashmere is definitely good cashmere, all scraped down by myself."
"The cashmere is good cashmere, and it feels comfortable to grab, but why don't you pick it? Look at so much hair in the cashmere, this is considered impurity, this can't be graded as first grade, look at this hair, not only white but also gray, your family's cashmere is a bit mixed—let's do this, I'll calculate it as second grade per kilogram, seventy yuan."
Cashmere is still very expensive at this time, otherwise it would be impossible to make it like that in Ordos later. After all, goats produce cashmere and meat, but eating grass is different from sheep. They eat grass from the roots, which is too destructive.
And at this time, everyone's concept of cashmere is high-end raw material, and Tianshan brand cashmere sweaters are still very high-grade.
The person speaking is a woman, about fifty or sixty years old, sounding very imposing. Those who sold goods were all shocked by her momentum. At most, they bargained, and basically no one said they wouldn't sell and took things away.
The identity of the supply and marketing cooperative purchaser is still quite bluffing.
In less than half an hour, seven or eight deals were made here. Li Long made a rough calculation, and the income here in this while was more than one hundred yuan.
However, he didn't worry. Such days won't last long.
The reputation of his acquisition station is there. People who just came might be fooled, but after a long time, they will definitely know what kind of goods are here.
Li Long didn't listen anymore and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Li Xiangqian was reading a newspaper in the office. When Li Long pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, he saw it through the window.
"This kid, still knows to come over." Li Xiangqian scolded with a smile, continuing to read his newspaper.
Li Long entered Li Xiangqian's office, first said hello, and then went to pour water for himself.
After pouring water and making tea, and sitting on the chair, Li Long asked:
"Section Chief... no, should I change my address? When can I call you Director?"
"Go to yours..." Li Xiangqian scolded with a smile, his expression still quite happy, "Wait another half a month, Old Wei has already left, I have to wait for people from the state to come and announce the order to organize the handover—but this matter hasn't passed the bright side yet, some people don't know, don't say it out first."
"Okay, I know. I have something to consult this time."
"Hey, it's quite cultural, say it, what's the matter?"
"An acquisition station opened in the market. The person in charge of collecting things said she was a retired employee from our supply and marketing cooperative, a woman, about fifty or sixty years old, quite strong."
Li Long didn't say anything about the other party's other perceptions, mainly because he was afraid that if this woman had a good relationship with Li Xiangqian, it would be bad for him to speak ill of her in front of people.
"Her, I know, her name is Yang Guifang. She was indeed a person in our purchasing section before. Her husband was originally a leader in the county. At that time, she was arranged to our purchasing section when she was brought over.
This person, as you said, is strong, has strong business ability, but doesn't tolerate people, and likes to take small advantages."
Li Xiangqian said while picking up the cup and drinking two sips, continuing to say:
"Later, her husband retired early because of some problems, but she didn't know how to advance or retreat, and was still so strong. Then my predecessor section chief found an excuse and let her retire internally.
At that time, she was still unconvinced. My section chief asked me to take out the evidence and let her choose by herself, either we report directly to the police and let her enter the bureau, or she returns the stolen money and then handles internal retirement, which is more decent. Finally, she retired internally, which is considered to have formed a knot with us."
So there was such a thing.
Then Li Long doesn't have to worry even more.
He even suspected that a considerable part of the money Yang Guifang earned for the acquisition station today would quietly flow into her own pocket.
The other party found such a person to fight with him, which was really dizzy.
"Are you worried that this acquisition station will affect your business? If you are worried, I will give you an idea..." Li Xiangqian asked with a smile.
"Not worried, let them fight among themselves. Such people... to be honest, I really didn't put them in my eyes. We do business, you earn and I earn, win-win is good. I just went to see, that side is too oppressive, if so, it won't last long."
"Hey, okay." Li Xiangqian smiled, "Not bad, not bad, understand this truth, you have advanced many steps more than others. By the way, are there any activities this year? Did you do anything with friends in the mountains?"
"I plan to help them renovate their houses after they transfer the field." Li Long said honestly, "Most of their winter nests have been there for a long time, some materials have rotted, and the roof is leaking."
"Okay, okay, okay, when to act, tell me—can it be before May? At least before the end of May?" Li Xiangqian asked.
"Definitely, they will transfer the field in April, and when we start weaving the lifting pole here, I will prepare to take people over."
"Call me then." Li Xiangqian said, "By the way, it's best to call that reporter too..."
Li Long thought what this meant?
Immediately he reacted and said with a smile:
"No problem, Director Li, I will definitely handle this matter. I will go to contact the propaganda officer in our county in these two days. I think this matter can definitely be on the newspaper."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what it means, you kid, now you can figure out people's minds quite well." Li Xiangqian took a sip of water and smiled.
As a newly appointed director, he naturally needs some things to embellish. Some rules and regulations in the supply and marketing cooperative are not easy to move, so he will make some movements outside.
Last year, Wei Zhuren took people to repair water pipes for herdsmen. After this matter was reported in the newspaper, Wei Zhuren became famous all of a sudden. He could be transferred to the North Court, and this matter had a certain influence.
After all, the North Court is a national autonomous state, and it still attaches great importance to national unity.
Li Xiangqian wants to work steadily in this position and is ready to go further, so he must pay attention to this aspect.
So when Li Long came, he thought of this matter.
After getting Li Long's reply, Li Xiangqian was very satisfied. The young man is not bad. Although he is independent and has his own business, he still regards himself as a person of the supply and marketing cooperative, which is very good.
He also thought about whether to appropriately tilt and pay attention to Li Long after he became director. He actually heard about the two people who were messing with Li Long's acquisition station. After all, the county town is so big.
Li Xiangqian thought that Li Long didn't tell him about this matter. On the one hand, Li Long could solve it by himself, and on the other hand, Li Long might also feel that the supply and marketing cooperative was not easy to fight with those second generations.
Then is it appropriate to let Li Long understand that the supply and marketing cooperative is a big tree, not comparable to those ordinary units.
The family's children still have to be spoiled by the family, can't watch others bully them?
