Chapter 829

Two days before the Beiting City Ethnic Unity Commendation Conference.

After Zhao Hui left, Li Long deposited most of the money. After depositing the money, at Gu Xiaoxia's request, he went to the state-run barbershop to cut a flat head—now the fashionable three-seven split, four-six split, Li Long doesn't like it, just flat head is more adaptable.

After cutting, returning home, waiting for Gu Bo Yuan and Gu Xiaoxia to return, they all said that Li Long looks spirited now—Gu Bo Yuan also felt that Li Long indeed has the temperament of a national public official—unfortunately, not.

Li Long just smiled, and handed a thick stack of money to Gu Bo Yuan. The money was not fully deposited. He left 20,000 as the working capital for the acquisition station. This money is placed with Gu Bo Yuan, which is convenient for use.

Gu Bo Yuan also gave Li Long a receipt, and this money will be entered into the account. Currently, Gu Bo Yuan keeps the accounts himself. Every time he collects a batch of goods and pays a payment, he will record it, which is responsible for Li Long and also responsible for himself.

Currently, the acquisition station is operating in a virtuous cycle, and a large amount of materials are collected every day, which requires large amounts of cash support.

Tap water was pulled into the large courtyard of the original acquisition station—at this time, not every household had tap water. Some families shared a tap water pipe, which might be at the gate of a certain family's courtyard, or at a certain corner of the alley.

The acquisition station was established early, because it is considered a public unit, so the tap water was pulled directly into the courtyard, which is different from the large courtyard where Li Long lives.

Gu Bo Yuan will also wash the collected medicinal materials early or at night, and tidy them up, but most of the time he mainly collects things, and these fragmented work is done by Li Long.

For the next two days, Li Long shuttled between the acquisition station and the large courtyard. He pulled the medicinal materials such as fritillaria from the acquisition station back to the large courtyard, washed, screened, and then dried and bagged them in the large courtyard.

Li Long calculated roughly, the acquisition station collects more than 100 kilograms of fritillaria every day, both dry and fresh, which is equivalent to 60 or 70 kilograms of dried goods.

After washing these fritillaria clean, when drying, Li Long will tie up Xiao Hei, and then spread a large canvas on the open space, letting Mingming and Haohao play on the canvas. The two children crawl, stand, and sit from time to time, playing very happily on the ground.

After all, there is such a large open space, which is easier to unfold and move than the previous bed car.

Li Long tied up Xiao Hei, also worried that the dog would accidentally hurt the children. Although Mingming and Haohao are less than a year old, their strength is quite large. Pulling the dog's tail hair and pulling it painfully, Li Long is also worried that Xiao Hei will subconsciously give a bite.

Be careful.

The day before the commendation conference, after Li Long washed the fritillaria brought back from the acquisition station and dried them, he went to the mountains again in the morning to pull back the fritillaria exchanged by Sun Jia Qiang.

The fritillaria pulled back this time was almost semi-dry and semi-wet, 90-plus kilograms, which can dry out more than 30 kilograms of dried goods.

Not less.

The fritillaria brought back from Sun Jia Qiang here, although the quantity is not much, wins in being clean and doesn't need to be washed.

Li Long brought him more than a dozen 'nang' (flatbread), this time enough for him to eat.

Returning to the large courtyard, after eating lunch, Li Long packed up, drove the jeep to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Li Xiangqian was already waiting in the courtyard of the supply and marketing cooperative. He also had a new haircut, three-seven split—still okay, not a traitor head, wearing a white shirt of 'dique-liang' (polyester-cotton), and his round big belly supported the shirt so that the buttons could hardly be fastened.

Li Long looked and wanted to laugh, Li Xiangqian glared at him:

"Laugh if you want to laugh... Is what you are wearing not formal enough? This Zhongshan suit... it's okay, so many people in the conference hall tomorrow, are you not hot wearing this?"

"We'll see when the time comes." It is May now, not yet to the point of being hot to more than 30 degrees in May in later generations. Li Long is wearing a Zhongshan suit outside, and a 'dique-liang' shirt inside, which is specially made. He is afraid that if he takes off the Zhongshan suit and reveals the white shirt inside, it will make Li Xiangqian feel inferior.

Both of them are wearing leather shoes, and Li Long also has a black bag thrown on the passenger seat. This time Li Xiangqian didn't sit in the passenger seat, but sat in the back row. According to his words, not bringing a car is worry-free, and he trusts Li Long.

The deputy director and several section chiefs of the supply and marketing cooperative sent Li Xiangqian to attend the meeting in the courtyard. Zhou Yuan put a black bag on the passenger seat. After Li Xiangqian waved to them, he let Li Long drive.

When the jeep drove out of Maxian, Li Xiangqian asked in the back seat:

"Are you going to see Director Qian?"

"Yes."

"Then did you bring anything?"

"I picked some morels in the mountains, bring some to Director Qian, and bring some to Wei Zhuren."

"You kid, why didn't you think of bringing me some?" Li Xiangqian felt a bit sour, "Anyway, I am your direct leader."

"Yes, it's not dried yet," Li Long said, "Thinking of bringing it to you after drying, what I brought to them are semi-dry."

"That's about it... How many?"

"They have about one kilogram of dried goods each, and you have one and a half kilograms of fresh goods that can be dried. If you want fresh ones, I will bring them to you when we go back."

"Still dry it, it's not lacking at the moment, and the courtyard at home is small, it's troublesome to dry."

"Alright."

Li Xiangqian also brought things. The black bag contained an exquisite processed roe deer head, not a specimen, just a roe deer head with horns.

This is processed very beautifully, can be used as an ornament, or can be nailed to the wall like a specimen in a manor abroad—compared to a huge deer head, this is a bit small, just don't use it as the main ornament.

This is for Director Qian. Director Qian likes hunting and also likes prey, but there is not much time at the moment, so Li Xiangqian's this is considered catering to his preferences.

As for the one for Wei Zhuren, Li Xiangqian roughly got a dried deer whip, which is relatively practical.

Of course, he didn't tell Li Long in detail, this thing, each is each's heart, no need to compare.

Maxian to Beiting City is more than 100 kilometers. With the current road conditions, it takes more than two hours to arrive.

Arriving in Beiting City, Li Long and Li Xiangqian registered for accommodation according to the meeting notice requirements, but the two just registered and didn't stay.

Li Xiangqian let Li Long drive the car out, the two found a canteen to eat dinner, and after strolling in Beiting City, Li Xiangqian pointed the way, letting Li Long go to Director Qian's house.

"Go to the house?" Li Long hesitated a bit. Is it good to go to Director Qian's house now?

"Let me tell you, we brought things over, we can't send them to the unit, right?" Li Xiangqian said, "Just follow me, it's definitely right. We have to go fast, after sending it, we still have to come out, I have a socializing—have to drink a little at night, if I get drunk, you have to get me back to the hotel."

Alright, who let Li Xiangqian be the leader?

According to Li Xiangqian's guidance, Li Long drove the jeep into a family courtyard and stopped in front of a two-story small building.

Does Director Qian live here?

"Didn't live here before, moved here after being promoted to director," Li Xiangqian saw Li Long's doubt and explained in a low voice, "Let's go."

Li Long carried the morels he brought and Li Xiangqian's black bag, and followed Li Xiangqian into the door hole.

What surprised Li Long a bit was that in this door hole, there were actually quite a few people waiting!

One saw Li Xiangqian and slapped him hard:

"Old Li, you are here? Okay! Just took office and got commended, this is taking Old Wei's credit?"

"What are you saying?" Li Xiangqian dissatisfiedly pulled his hand away, "Let me tell you, this is what I really did, even if Old Wei is here, he can testify for me—why are you here?"

"Why, you can come and I can't? Come to see the old leader, what else can I do? Is this from your unit? I look at the face is raw."

"Hmm, newcomer, follow over to exercise," Li Xiangqian didn't introduce Li Long, saying vaguely.

Not all of those who came were from the supply and marketing system, and Li Xiangqian didn't recognize the other few, so he didn't greet them.

"Old Jiang, why don't you enter?" Li Xiangqian asked that person. These people were all staying outside, and didn't queue up. How to enter purely depends on who grabs the first place in a while.

"Old Wei is inside," the one surnamed Jiang said, "It's been ten minutes since I entered, I thought about waiting for him to come out before talking."

Someone next to him glanced at them. Looking at that meaning, what you said is very good, who enters first is really hard to say.

Anyway, it's not the same system, grabbing to enter is grabbing, why care so much?

These people came with tasks, no one wants to be criticized when they go back.

Li Long didn't say anything, just carried things, actually he had been listening to the movement inside.

There was a slight talking sound inside, and the sound began to move to the door. Li Long knew that this was someone coming out. He touched Li Xiangqian lightly and signaled to the door. Li Xiangqian understood in seconds and immediately squeezed to the door.

Two people in the middle didn't care, and actually let Li Xiangqian squeeze out a position, but the person by the door was very nervous and immediately guarded the door and didn't move. Li Xiangqian couldn't squeeze, so he had to stay here.

The person squeezed away glared at him, Li Xiangqian didn't care, he had things later, so he didn't care about so many rules at this time.

A few minutes later, the door opened, Wei Zhuren in front and Director Qian behind walked out, the people at the door "Director Qian good" called a piece.

Director Qian seemed used to it, frowned and nodded, scanned, and after seeing Li Xiangqian and Li Long, his eyes lit up:

"You are here? Little Li, let me tell you a few times to let you come, you say, it's been almost a year... Come, come, come, come in first. Old Wei, you don't go either, all together, sit together."

Wei Zhuren didn't expect Li Xiangqian to bring Li Long over, he said with a smile:

"Alright, alright, alright, then I will disturb again... Xiangqian, you are showing your face this time. Little Li, alright, alright, alright, knew you must be able to shine!"

Wei Zhuren looks at Li Long more and more appreciatively. This young man has strong ability to do things, the quality of several big jobs is good, this is nothing to say. The achievements made from other aspects are also very bright, which also made him, the director, get real benefits. If it wasn't for Li Long's unwillingness, he really hoped to dig Li Long to Beiting.

Although Li Long said his roots were in Maxian, Wei Zhuren felt that with Li Long's ability, even if he came to Beiting, he should be able to support a piece of heaven and earth very quickly.

It's just that he is unwilling.

Li Xiangqian proudly squeezed the two people at the door and walked in. Li Long followed behind. Director Qian patted his arm and said:

"Come in quickly, your sister-in-law heard me say a few sentences, and said she wanted to see you early."

As soon as the door closed, the people outside were stunned, especially the one surnamed Jiang who saw it most clearly.

It turns out that in Director Qian's place, Li Xiangqian is not the most favored, that young man is?

When coming out later, must definitely inquire well!

Several other people also had curious faces—it's nothing to be squeezed in by Li Xiangqian and Li Long first, anyway there is still time, but these people can enter Director Qian's eyes, that must have a background.

Must inquire!

Someone remembered that the one surnamed Jiang had just said a few words to Li Xiangqian, that should be acquaintances, and immediately someone took out a cigarette and handed it over, starting to get close.

The one surnamed Jiang also had some doubts, but Beiting manages such a large area, everyone has heard of the situation in Maxian. Now Director Qian and Wei Zhuren both know this young man, combined with the situation of the Maxian supply and marketing cooperative in these two years, the one surnamed Jiang guessed Li Long's situation.

This is really a relatively alternative character! (End of chapter)
