Chapter 805: It Turns Out This Is a Group of Hidden Rich People

~14 min read 2,715 words

Li Long didn't eat here, after putting down the pork, went to Xu Haijun's side on the back of the mountain to walk around, and also went to Liang Wenyu's side to look. These three places were still quite busy, getting up very early, and all were burning willow branches and weaving carrying baskets.

There were those who were fast and had already woven one and put it on the side.

Li Long asked about each place, and then came back, drove the jeep to the mouth of the trench and stopped.

There were many things today, so he couldn't stay long.

Returning to the wooden house here, he saw Sun Jia Qiang was still in front of the table, working hard to decompose the wild boar. Four legs had been unloaded, ribs had been cut down, and now he was working hard, wanting to unload the neck.

Because he wasn't very skilled, the meat pieces were decomposed irregularly, and the cut places weren't smooth either, looking a bit awkward.

Sun Jia Qiang's face also had blood smeared on it, and at this moment, he, who was usually smiling, actually looked a bit fierce holding the knife.

Hmm, just like this.

Hearing the sound of the jeep, Sun Jia Qiang raised his head, saw Li Long get off the jeep, and said with a smile:

"Boss, I haven't finished unloading this wild boar... the movements were a bit slow."

"No rush for a while," Li Long went over and taught him the technique of using the knife, as well as the position of unloading the meat—he had heard of Pao Ding dissecting an ox, using the thin to enter the thick, actually it was just finding the joint position of the prey, and it was very easy to unload the joints with a sharp knife.

Of course, this required technique and experience.

Li Long had once seen those who demonstrated unloading half a pig very neatly into parts in a few minutes on the internet.

That movement was neat enough to make people sigh.

Li Long himself didn't have this ability yet, he felt that if he practiced more, he could achieve it.

"I'll go wash," Sun Jia Qiang said, "My face is full of blood..."

Before he finished speaking, he found Li Long looking into the distance.

Two people came out of the forest in the southeast carrying bags.

"Don't wash," Li Long said in a low voice, "Just like this. I'll go boil the meat, you go exchange things with them later... the benchmark for exchanging things is about three or four yuan of things for one kilogram of fresh fritillaria, a bit more or less doesn't matter, don't throw away your knife."

"Boss, what about you?" Sun Jia Qiang was a bit confused, usually in this situation, wasn't it watching those people's choices?

"Your image is just right now, you can suppress people," Li Long saw those people were still quite far, and explained again, "Usually you are smiling, those people aren't afraid of you. Now with a knife, and blood on your face, as long as you don't smile, they will be afraid of you.

In the future when I'm not here, you often exchange things here alone, you have to be fierce, this place isn't the county seat, you don't need to smile, even if you are ruthless, let people be afraid, don't let people feel you are easy to bully."

Sun Jia Qiang understood, this was Li Long formally teaching him the survival skills in the mountains.

After Li Long finished speaking, he didn't care about Sun Jia Qiang anymore, he took a bag and went to pick mushrooms in the grass.

Although he left the wooden house, his focus was still there, mainly to see how Sun Jia Qiang dealt with these two people.

These two people came over, each carrying a bag, and the bags were more than half full.

They came to the wooden house and saw Sun Jia Qiang, and were stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Sun Jia Qiang was already standing straight, stopped the action of decomposing the wild boar meat, and asked proactively:

"Want to exchange things? Is it fritillaria?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Originally the two people wanted to come together, hoping to talk about the price, after all, there was strength in numbers.

But now with Sun Jia Qiang's image, they really didn't have the courage to mention raising the price.

"What to exchange for? There are biscuits, chicken cakes, sesame cakes, seasonings include salt, cube sugar, fruit candy, canned food, and rubber shoes, gloves... what do you want to exchange for?"

"Are there rice and flour? We want to exchange for some rice and flour," one of them had already planned what to exchange for, "I have ten or so kilograms of fritillaria here, it can exchange for quite a lot, right? How do you exchange it?"

"One kilogram of fresh fritillaria exchanges for three yuan of things," Sun Jia Qiang said, "Of course, it also depends on the quality of your fritillaria, if the quality isn't good, then the things exchanged will be less, if the quality is good, the things exchanged can also increase."

He walked toward the small wooden house, and while walking, he reached out and wiped the blood on the short knife, and then threw it on the ground.

Those two people followed for two steps, looked at Sun Jia Qiang's gesture, and stopped again.

This guy looked a bit fierce.

The two looked at each other, obviously both a bit timid. They also carried knives, but unlike Sun Jia Qiang who had just dismantled a wild boar, their knives were for self-defense, this person's knife could kill a wild boar, could it also kill a person?

"Is this price a bit low?" One of them asked boldly, "It's not easy for us to dig fritillaria in the mountains..."

"That depends on the quality of your fritillaria," Sun Jia Qiang stood at the door of the small wooden house and asked, "If you are sure you want to exchange, I'll look at the things now."

"Look at mine," the one on the left said, "My fritillaria are all dug big, you'll know when you look."

That person grabbed a handful from the bag for Sun Jia Qiang to see.

"Good, quite big," Sun Jia Qiang glanced at it, then took out a basket from the small wooden house and placed it in front of that person:

"Pour it in."

"Why?" That person asked, his expression a bit panicked, "Don't believe me?"

"If you want to exchange, don't you have to weigh it? This basket is easy to remove the skin."

That person hesitated.

"What? Don't dare to pour? Did you mix soil at the bottom?" Sun Jia Qiang had dug fritillaria for two years, naturally knowing the tricks in this, "I'm telling you, put away your little thoughts," he picked up the short knife on the side and gestured, "If you sincerely want to exchange things, then don't play tricks!"

Li Long was walking slowly on the grass, looking at Sun Jia Qiang talking and exchanging things with the two people from time to time.

Those two people finally exchanged, one of them exchanged for some rice and flour, salt, biscuits, etc., the other exchanged for rice, and also exchanged for some wild boar innards that were being boiled.

This made Sun Jia Qiang a bit surprised, but he still exchanged it, since there were some, then exchange.

After the two people left, Li Long carried a bag of mushrooms and walked over, looking at Sun Jia Qiang who was picking leaves and soil out of the fritillaria.

"These two people's fritillaria were twenty-seven kilograms in total, but at least three or four kilograms of soil and rotten leaves were mixed in," Sun Jia Qiang said to Li Long while picking, "Very bad."

"I saw you teaching them a lesson, not bad."

"You, Boss, were watching, besides I still have a knife in my hand!" Sun Jia Qiang smiled, just now "gaming" with those two people, part of it was truly being in this position, part of it was pretending. With a knife in hand, he wouldn't dare to take action against two people unless it was a last resort.

But just like Li Long said, when decomposing the wild boar, with that fierce energy, plus the blood on his face, making him unable to smile, this really had some deterrent power.

Li Long and him together moved the fritillaria into the basin, filled it with water to soak first, and then decomposed the remaining meat. Part of it was soaked in the basin, Li Long planned to bring it back later, and part was directly boiled in the pot.

In the two pots, one was meat and one was innards, so stir-frying and cooking could only be done on the stove in the large house.

Fortunately, neither of them were picky people, stir-fried some mushrooms, sliced a plate of innards, and then used the naan left over from yesterday to simply eat a breakfast, and then continued to handle things.

The fritillaria was washed and dried on the table, and Li Long let Sun Jia Qiang cover the two pots on the stove, withdraw some fire from below, and boil slowly.

Sun Jia Qiang didn't understand why Li Long did this, but he didn't ask either. If Li Long wanted to explain, he would tell him, if he didn't want to explain, as an employee, he had to have the awareness to shut up.

Sun Jia Qiang was very smart in this regard.

Soon, Sun Jia Qiang waited for the answer.

The sound of horse hooves rang out, feeling like a group of horses galloping over, the commotion was very large.

Li Long drove the jeep to the east side of the shed, clearing the position in front of the wooden house.

Previously because there was quite a lot of fritillaria, Sun Jia Qiang meant that it couldn't be dried on the table, and it would be fine to sweep out the wooden floor in front of the wooden house and dry the fritillaria there.

Li Long didn't let him, saying it would be useful later, and let him first pile those twenty or so kilograms of fritillaria on the table and spread them evenly, turning them over from time to time.

Now Sun Jia Qiang knew why—with such a large group of horses coming, if they really rushed to the front of the wooden house, wouldn't those fritillaria be ruined directly?

Soon, seven or eight horses galloped to the wooden house here, and only then slowed down their pace.

What made Sun Jia Qiang a bit surprised was that not all the horses had people on them, there were four people in total, riding four horses, and each person was also pulling the reins of a horse, that was, one person and two horses.

These horses were all carrying things on their backs, some were fertilizer bags, some were burlap sacks, some were tied with cardboard boxes on the saddles, and some were deer antlers, roe deer antlers, etc., framed on the saddles.

After Bolati got off the horse, he shook hands with Li Long with a smile and said loudly:

"Friend, see, I called my colleagues over, they brought quite a lot of things, right? Come, come, come, you all say what you want to exchange for."

"I want to exchange for money," one person who had at least three pairs of deer antlers tied on his horse's back said.

"I want to exchange for wine, exchange for rice and flour, I want to exchange for some brick tea," another person opened his mouth, besides the bags on his horse's back, there was also a cardboard box, and Li Long smelled a faint fragrance.

Snow lotus, ah.

"I want to exchange for everything, money also, wine also!" Another person shouted, "I also want rubber shoes, my shoes should be changed!"

Bolati looked at Li Long proudly.

"Sure, one by one." Li Long smiled.

They could be considered the people closest to the big mountains, and only they could find things in the mountains that others wanted to find but couldn't.

Four people unloaded their things from the horses, and each exchanged with Li Long.

Sun Jia Qiang helped on the side, and at this moment he also saw that these forest rangers usually looked quite sloppy, but really at this time, he found that each of them was a rich person who didn't reveal their wealth.

The things each person exchanged were worth at least more than a thousand yuan!

After an hour, the things these four people brought were counted.

There were one hundred and seven kilograms of dried fritillaria, four pairs of deer antlers, seven pairs of roe deer antlers, two hundred and three snow lotus, twenty-seven kilograms of gastrodia, five pieces of high-quality jade, totaling thirty-three kilograms.

There was no ordinary jade, they were quite good at picking.

What made Sun Jia Qiang look with envy was three pieces of gemstone raw stones, two were light blue aquamarines, and one was an emerald.

One forest ranger also said that originally he had picked up a piece of gold the size of a pigeon egg in the mountains, and took it home to ask his wife to find someone to make it into a ring and earrings.

Otherwise he would have wanted to bring it over to sell.

Li Long paid three thousand five hundred yuan, and all the wine, brick tea, rice and flour, a few pairs of rubber shoes, etc., in the small shop.

Fortunately, he brought quite a lot of money when he came, otherwise, he really couldn't afford it.

These people were also very happy. The collection station in the county seat was closed, they couldn't sell the things they got, and didn't have time to go to Shicheng. The things accumulated more and more, but they couldn't exchange them for money and supplies, let alone how annoying it was.

Now that they had Li Long, they could also exchange things freely—this feeling of being able to exchange things for money was too good!

They really have money!

Sun Jia Qiang muttered in a low voice.

Li Long had good ears, and said with a smile:

"Their things aren't all from four people, it should be that others entrusted them to come over to sell or exchange. Forest rangers can't all come over here."

"Yes," Bolati was also counting his money, "The things accumulated by the ten or so people in our forest team are all here. But don't worry, this summer, we can still accumulate more things than this."

The things they accumulated last summer were exchanged for money at the county collection station, these things were the leftovers from the exchange, and there were also things collected in winter.

This summer, they would definitely be able to "get" more things.

Li Long felt that getting a good relationship with Bolati and the others could be considered one of his major advantages—besides Halimu and the others, who here knew the big mountains better than these forest rangers?

And many treasures in the big mountains were also discovered in the process of their gradual patrolling and searching, of course, there was also a considerable part of things that these forest rangers got from the hands of those who were eating in the mountains.

Li Long didn't care about the source of the things, he estimated that just these things could bring him at least five thousand yuan in profit!

This money came too fast! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 806 =====

Many of the treasures hidden deep in the mountains were also discovered during their gradual patrols and searches; of course, a considerable portion of these items were also obtained by these forest rangers from those who made their living foraging in the mountains.

Li Long didn't care about the source of the items. He made a rough estimate, and just with the current haul, it could bring him a profit of at least five thousand yuan!

This money came too quickly! (End of chapter)
