Chapter 821: Shocked Jia Tianlong, Li Long who got rich suddenly

~18 min read 3,556 words

In the compound, the dried fritillaria was stacked bag by bag in the side room by Li Long.

Now, as long as he has time, he pulls over a small stool and washes the fritillaria in the pressure well with two large basins.

Every day, quite a lot of fritillaria can be hauled back from the wooden house in the mountains and the purchasing station. At least dozens of kilograms, and up to more than one hundred kilograms.

The fritillaria collected at the purchasing station is mostly dry goods, at least half-dry. The wooden house side is just the opposite, and the fritillaria exchanged is mostly fresh goods.

These fresh fritillaria need to be dried in a large area before they can become dry fritillaria that Jia Tianlong is willing to collect.

Of course, some of these need to be carefully washed by Li Long. The fritillaria collected at the purchasing station is generally clean, and Gu Bo Yuan will either return the unclean ones or lower the price.

So those second-hand dealers, or people who dig medicinal materials in the mountains, will wash them in advance.

The fritillaria brought back from the wooden house is the most worry-free for Li Long. When Sun Jia Qiang loaded the fritillaria onto the car for Li Long, he had already washed it.

The dirtiest is the fritillaria bought from the forestry team. These fritillaria bags are mixed with leaves, mud, and even stones.

Of course, it's not that those herbalists are intentional. When they collect fritillaria, those herbalists are digging fritillaria, or have just finished digging. When digging fritillaria, there is no way to care about these details. At this time, they only need speed.

Li Long was washing the fritillaria while letting his imagination run wild.

Jia Tianlong called again yesterday, still to the supply and marketing cooperative. Fortunately, Li Long went to the supply and marketing cooperative in advance to tell Section Chief Zhou Yuan that if Jia Tianlong called again, let him bring a large truck, otherwise, the things wouldn't fit.

Yesterday, when Zhou Yuan got off work, he rode his bicycle to the compound. For these few days, Li Long went into the mountains in the morning to see White Poplar Gully, then went to the wooden house to haul the fritillaria back, and stayed at home in the afternoon, mainly waiting for Jia Tianlong's call.

Zhou Yuan came over to tell Li Long that Jia Tianlong would drive over to haul the goods the next day, and let Li Long wait at home.

So Li Long ate breakfast and washed fritillaria in the yard, while watching Mingming and Hao Hao playing in the bed car.

It was rare for Sister Yang to be free. She rode her bicycle out to turn around, and by the way, she had to go to the compound south of Wuyi Road to see the vegetables planted earlier.

Before collecting fritillaria and weaving carrying poles, Li Long watched Mingming and Hao Hao in the yard, and Sister Yang took time to tidy up the small yard over there.

Li Long understood that in Sister Yang's view, this compound was ultimately Li Long's home, not Sister Yang's home. Sister Yang and Han Fang had regarded the small yard in the south as their own home.

Mingming and Hao Hao were playing happily with the lambs, little red deer, etc. at this time, and Little Black was lying by the bed car watching. It was very dedicated, mainly because the little lambs were bullying Mingming and Hao Hao—the aggressiveness of the little mountain sheep was still quite strong, and it was easy to turn into a real attack during the playing process.

Although the two little mountain sheep hadn't grown horns and there were only small bumps on their heads, it wouldn't be comfortable to butt with all their strength.

The sound of the car engine came from near to far. Li Long showed a trace of a smile on his face, stood up, shook the water droplets on his hands, first pushed the bed car of Mingming and Hao Hao to the wall near the kitchen, then went to tie up Little Black, and finally went to open the big gate.

At this time, the car had arrived at the gate, the sound changed from high to low, thinking that it was stopped, and someone got off the car.

When Li Long opened the big gate, Jia Tianlong, who was holding a bag, was getting off the car and was about to knock on the door.

"Hey, Comrade Li Long, have you been waiting anxiously?" Jia Tianlong's hand hanging in mid-air, he reacted very quickly, pressed it down, took the initiative to shake hands with Li Long, full of smiles, "Our car hadn't stopped yet and you came to open the door, is this because you missed me so much?"

"That's really missing you so much. If you don't come again, I'll drive the car and sell these fritillaria to Beiting City—too much goods tied up, my funds can't bear it here."

Li Long joked half-jokingly, opened the big gate, used a brick to prop up the corner of the gate, and then signaled the driver to drive the truck in.

At this time, Jia Tianlong and Li Long entered the yard first. He saw the two children curiously looking at the large truck in the bed car, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He walked quickly to the bed car, smiled and waved to the two children.

Li Long was actually quite worried, feeling that this guy was dusty, so don't hold the two children as soon as he came up, scaring the little guys.

Fortunately, Jia Tianlong was also quite cautious and cared, just waving to the two children across the bed car, and then took out two silver tiger-head locks wrapped in red cloth from his bag, and hung them on the corner of the bed car:

"This is a gift from uncle to you. I specifically found a master to consecrate it on our side. You must remember to wear it."

This was said to Mingming and Hao Hao, and it was also for Li Long to hear.

Li Long smiled and said:

"Jia Boss, you spent money again, I accept this intention."

"Alright, alright, alright, Comrade Li Long, you said this too heavily. If we want to talk about it, I still owe you a favor. Let's not talk about this first, I'll go worship the jade first."

That piece of jade was still placed on the stone platform, and the copper incense burner originally brought by Jia Tianlong was also placed there. Sister Yang would wipe this area clean every day, and occasionally would offer a pillar of incense. At this time, Jia Tianlong saw incense and matches placed next to it, so he picked up three pillars, lit them, bowed three times with both hands, and then offered incense.

Seeing that the jade and the platform were clean, Jia Tianlong was also quite gratified.

Not bad, even if it was superficial, at least people valued it.

Jia Tianlong finished worshipping the jade, turned his head to look at the driver who had already driven the truck into the yard, and after getting off the car, he thoughtfully closed the big gate, and then said to Li Long:

"Little Li Comrade, I heard that you collected quite a lot of fritillaria, today let me, Old Jia, open my eyes too?"

"Come, come, come, I've been waiting for you to come." Li Long smiled and led Jia Tianlong to open the side room door, saying:

"Come, look, these are all dried fritillaria, there should be more than a ton, there are some that haven't been dried over there, how is it, not few, right?"

"So much?" Although Jia Tianlong had some understanding of Li Long from Chen Hongjun, knowing that this young man had a wide path and knew how to handle things. He thought that after the purchasing station in the county was withdrawn, he could seize the opportunity to make a big profit, but he didn't expect that the fritillaria season had just started for how long, and he had already gotten so many dried fritillaria!

"Come, come, come, I'll take a bag for you, you look at it first." Li Long entered the side room and took a bag of fritillaria, placed it in front of Jia Tianlong for him to look at, and he went to the kitchen to carry out a pot of tea, and poured a bowl for Jia Tianlong and the driver each.

Jia Tianlong reached into the fritillaria bag. He was the same as Li Long before, reaching into the bag and trying to grab the bottom of the bag—only by grabbing like this could he grab the real situation of the fritillaria—if there are many broken fritillaria, and there are impurities, most of them sink to the bottom of the bag.

After grabbing this handful and fishing it out, he opened his palm to look, and what entered his eyes were large and small fritillaria like pearls, full of grains.

"Hmm, the quality is not bad." Jia said, "If they are all goods like this, then I will collect them at a high price."

"Rest assured." Li Long put the tea into his and the driver's hands, and then went to take the platform scale and the flat large basket, "Our relationship is good, but doing business still has to be on the right path. These fritillaria, each bag is poured into the basket to weigh, so that you can see it clearly and buy it with peace of mind."

"Hey, Comrade Li Long, you do business, I, Old Jia, admire it!"

Being able to say this so magnanimously is enough to prove that Li Long is confident in his fritillaria.

"Drink tea first." Li Long pointed to the tea leaves and said, "I don't know much about tea. This tea leaf was taken from my leader at the supply and marketing cooperative. It is said to be not bad. Anyway, in my opinion, it's just like that."

Hearing that it was taken from the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative, Jia Tianlong smiled and said: "It seems that you have a good relationship with the leader, otherwise people wouldn't let you take tea leaves. This tea leaf... hmm, not bad."

He actually didn't know much about tea either, but drinking it felt better than the tea he usually drank. Besides, saying a few good words didn't cost money. Who wouldn't want to do things that are beneficial without cost?

Jia Tianlong and the driver were also thirsty. The tea Li Long poured was warm, the temperature was just right, and both of them drank more than half a bowl. After putting down the tea bowl, Jia Tianlong said to Li Long:

"Comrade Li Long, let's talk about business. I came here mainly to buy these fritillaria of yours. With Old Chen here, and this jade here, let's not talk about our relationship. Today, I will also give you a bottom line. If these fritillaria are of such quality, I can give you sixty-five yuan per kilogram. Of course, if the quality is a bit worse, then I will lower it by one grade and calculate it by five yuan less, what do you think?"

Li Long didn't expect that Jia Tianlong would give such a high price.

In the last period of the state-run purchasing station last year, the price set for Li Long's fritillaria was less than sixty, and it had increased so much this year.

This price was really surprising.

"I also tell you the truth, this fritillaria is hauled out of the border, and I can earn less than ten yuan per kilogram." Jia said, "The state-run pharmaceutical factories inside the border are expanding production. Although Ili fritillaria is not as famous as Chuanbei, the medicinal effect is also very good. So, the demand is very large, and this price is also rising with the tide."

How much money Jia Tianlong earns per kilogram of fritillaria, Li Long doesn't know, and he just listens to this ten-yuan statement. However, sixty-five yuan has exceeded his psychological expectation, so this business can be done.

"Alright, just." Li Long said.

"Good." Jia Tianlong responded and greeted the driver to come over to help.

Li Long poured the bag of fritillaria in front of him into the basket and spread it evenly for Jia Tianlong to inspect.

Jia Tianlong became a professional this time, picked up a fritillaria and chewed it lightly in his mouth, and then spat it out. This thing is extremely bitter, just feel the taste.

The three people divided the work clearly. The driver took the high piles of fritillaria bags from the side room, poured them into the large basket, and Li Long and Jia Tianlong determined the grade, and then the driver loaded them into the car.

The hard work was done by the driver, and Li Long and Jia Tianlong did the technical work.

This driver should be Jia Tianlong's confidant, twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, flat-headed, didn't speak from beginning to end, worked very neatly, and also had a good eye.

Li Long and Jia Tianlong were checking the fritillaria quality here, recording the numbers on the scale, and the driver was pouring fritillaria and loading fritillaria, and his movements didn't slow down at all.

Mingming and Hao Hao were playing with small animals. Those small animals licked the children's hands through the gaps in the bed car, making the two little guys laugh from time to time, adding a few points of home atmosphere to this business scene.

When the fifth bag of fritillaria was poured into the large basket, the door rang. Li Long turned his head to look, Sister Yang pushed the bicycle into the yard, and was about to talk to Li Long when she saw a large car and strangers.

"Sister Yang still recognizes me? I am Jia Tianlong." Jia Tianlong was familiar with himself and greeted Sister Yang, "Is your wife not here?"

"Recognize, recognize." Sister Yang naturally recognized this guest who gave valuable gifts to Mingming and Hao Hao, and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I met Liang Shuang Cheng from the team, and he stuffed me with more than two kilograms of crucian carp. It just so happens that you are here, let's stew fish to eat at noon."

"Good, good, good, just happen to taste Sister Yang's craft." Jia Tianlong didn't act politely either, and after greeting, he continued to weigh the fritillaria with Li Long.

Sister Yang put the bicycle away, carried the fish into the kitchen, didn't clean it first, washed her hands, and then came over to change diapers for Mingming and Hao Hao, and then went to feed the two children a meal, waited for the two children to finish eating and tidy up, watched the children play for a while, and then went to prepare to cook.

Li Long and Jia Tianlong inspected the fritillaria bag by bag.

The dried fritillaria was more than forty kilograms per bag, and it was more than an hour later after twenty-four bags of fritillaria were weighed.

"The total weight is 1,072 kilograms." Jia Tianlong calculated the total number, "One kilogram, it's faster than pen calculation!"

Li Long nodded repeatedly, with a smile on his face—this is a large sum of money!

"Old Jia, those deer antlers, roe deer antlers, snow lotus, and Codonopsis, do you want them this time? I still have quite a lot of licorice and Cynomorium here..."

"Don't haul them first. I can't haul this car either." Jia Tianlong waved his hand and said, "To tell you the truth, I didn't expect you to get so many fritillaria, and I didn't bring enough money. Let's do it this way, I'll haul the fritillaria away today, and then I'll come over to haul the others in two days, what do you think?"

Although Jia Tianlong was much richer than Li Long, he was also a bit strained to take out too much money to press on these medicinal materials at once.

He also had an eye. The dried fritillaria Li Long took out was still there, and there were quite a few that hadn't been dried here—mainly because there were quite a few drying in the yard itself.

The largest transaction with Li Long was fritillaria. For Jia Tianlong, the fritillaria he earned the most this year must be this fritillaria.

In the past, this fritillaria was monopolized by the state-run purchasing station. Most of the fritillaria collected by the state-run purchasing station was sold directly to the state-run medicinal material company, and these private medicine dealers could only earn a small profit. This year, being able to get so much from Li Long, Jia Tianlong must grasp it tightly.

Codonopsis, licorice, Cynomorium, etc., could also be collected in other places, but it was really not easy to collect so many fritillaria at once from other places.

"That's fine." Li Long didn't force it, "When you come over next time, I estimate that there will be hundreds of kilograms of fritillaria here again. You must bring more money next time, don't learn from this time."

"Alright, alright." Jia Tianlong calculated the profit in his heart, and his mouth was also grinning, unable to close.

This order, more than a ton of dried fritillaria, he himself earned at least ten thousand or more!

Haul the things to Wucheng, find someone familiar on the railway, rent half a freight car to transport them to the mouth, and someone will pick up the goods there. He doesn't even need to run a trip, and more than ten thousand yuan will be in hand.

This money is really easy to earn!

Connections! The person introduced by Old Chen is really nothing to say!

"Little Liu, you go to the carriage, arrange the bags of fritillaria, and then cover them with a tarpaulin." Jia Tianlong ordered.

The driver did as he was told.

Jia Tianlong got into the passenger seat, took down a handbag, opened the box.

Clothes and other things were placed on the surface of the box. Jia Tianlong pulled the clothes to one side, and then stacks of banknotes were revealed underneath!

So many!

A stack of big unity is one thousand. Jia Tianlong handed stacks to Li Long, and Li Long counted the numbers.

Nearly seventy thousand yuan, a very large package!

Even if it is Li Long, who has lived for two lives, this is the first time he has seen so many big unity!

"Sixty-nine thousand six hundred and eighty yuan." Jia Tianlong counted sixty-nine stacks for Li Long, and took out thirty-two notes from the last stack, and gave the rest to Li Long, "Count slowly."

Li Long also carried a backpack, counted a stack and put a stack into it, and soon finished counting, nodded and said: "No problem."

"Hey, you are rich this time." Jia Tianlong put away the handbag, "This money... is it painful to earn?"

"What's painful? A lot of money is pressed." Li Long shook his head, "The money for weaving carrying poles in the mountains hasn't been given to people yet, and the money owed to my father-in-law on the purchasing station side is all used on this fritillaria. After this money is in hand, the bulk has to be taken out to offset the cost, and I can't earn much. Of course, it's much stronger than farming."

Li Long said so, and Jia Tianlong also believed it.

He naturally didn't know how much Li Long could earn from it—on the wooden house side, the cost of fresh fritillaria was three or four yuan, and the purchasing station side was more expensive, forty yuan. But the bulk was on the forestry team side, the comprehensive cost of fritillaria was twenty to thirty per kilogram of dry goods—that is to say, Li Long could earn more than thirty yuan per kilogram of fritillaria!

This ton of fritillaria, the money Li Long earned, was more than he earned in the whole of last year!

This was only less than half the time of the fritillaria season.

If it continues like this, the money Li Long earned through these fritillaria in the whole fritillaria season can reach more than one hundred thousand!

Sure enough, monopoly can be profiteering!

After Jia Tianlong paid Li Long, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He was also frightened to have so much money in his handbag. Now that the bulk was given to Li Long, the remaining two or three thousand yuan was not so conspicuous.

Of course, looking at this truck of fritillaria, Jia Tianlong also smiled.

This Li Long not only brought him hope for life—having the next generation, but also made his business go to the next level.
