Chapter 970: The small wooden house was broken, Ma Xiao Yan visited
Lunch was relatively simple. Lunch was a stewed wild boar, a lynx meat soup, just eating meat and drinking soup.
The half-grown wild boar had more than twenty kilograms of meat with bones after processing. Li Long took half of it, chopped it, and boiled it in the pot. The lynx was the same. After carefully peeling the skin, rubbing it with salt, and drying it, he unloaded two front legs, put star anise and stewed it to eat.
The rest were all soaked in water, put aside, and Li Long planned to take them home together with that little wild boar after eating lunch.
There were more than twenty people working, and the stewed meat chunks could ensure that everyone could get two or three pieces, plus the meat soup floating with oil, there was nothing unsatisfied.
The labor results of the morning were also quite gratifying. More than thirty trees were cut down, all of which had been dragged to the flat beach, not hindering walking. And Meng Hai drove the tractor forward to widen the road that originally only allowed two or three people to walk side by side, wide enough to accommodate one and a half small four-wheeled tractors.
At present, this section of the road into the mountains is completely along a small river, which can be considered along the river.
At present, this section is relatively easy to open up. The river beach in this section is relatively flat and wide, and it only needs to cut down the trees blocking the road, and then push the uneven places flat with a bulldozer.
Because there were no obstacles in a short time, it advanced more than one hundred meters from the starting point of road construction in the morning. Meng Hai was very optimistic. He went to see inside before coming to eat. The road in front was even better to clean up, and there were fewer trees, and it could continue to advance nearly two hundred meters.
Three hundred meters a day, more than one kilometer in three days... If you really calculate it, it might be finished in one working year.
Of course, the fact is that it is impossible to calculate like this. Li Long knows that sometimes an obstacle that cannot be avoided might take a day.
Of course, a good start is a good omen, and Li Long was also quite happy.
What made him happier was these people who came to work. Originally thought that today might be gnawing dry buns with river water, but didn't expect Li Long to hit several things, and ate meat directly at noon.
How good!
Li Long saw a villager finish gnawing the meat, collected the bones, wrapped them up, and planned to take them back.
Meng Hai also found out, he went over and asked:
"He Dongfeng, what are you doing with these bones?"
"Hehe, we have dogs at home," the villager named He Dongfeng smiled, "Take these bones back to feed the dogs."
"Do dogs dare to eat wild boar bones, and do dogs dare to eat lynx bones?" Someone asked puzzled.
"Lynx bones... hehe, this one won't be fed to dogs." He Dongfeng had already got the bones, and wasn't afraid of others learning. He said, "This is a good thing, wash it clean, process it, this is very good for soaking wine!"
"Soaking wine? What does it cure?" Suddenly someone came to spirit.
"Rheumatism, waist and leg pain, etc." He Dongfeng put the lynx bones he picked up into his pocket preciously, "Anyway, it's a good thing, money can't buy it."
Everyone knew that lynx is expensive, but some people didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Some people didn't want bones when scooping meat soup, only wanted meat, and some people got bones. Some of those who got meat with bones threw them away after gnawing the meat on the bones clean, and some, like He Dongfeng, collected the bones.
This is lynx bone, even if you don't do anything, taking it back to show others is enough to show off.
Now that He Dongfeng said this, those who threw away the bones regretted it a bit.
But there was only soup left in the pot, and some people's eyes were aimed at the remaining lynx meat soaked in water by Li Long.
No one dared to go to Li Long to ask—it was already very good to take out so much wild boar meat and lynx meat for everyone to have lunch, and couldn't be too much.
Meng Hai called out these people who were relatively honest, and those who were not very honest had already been eliminated before.
Li Long was also gnawing a naan, drinking a bowl of meat soup from time to time.
Lynx meat is really not delicious to eat like this. Although the star anise taste suppressed the mutton smell, after all, this thing is wild, the fiber is very thick, and it is not as delicious as mutton.
However, since it is in the wild, there are not so many stresses, he ate while talking to Meng Hai about the plan for the afternoon.
"I'll go back for a while later, you watch the work here, the work section planned for this afternoon is relatively easy, there are no big obstacles, if there is any problem that can't be solved in the middle, stop or go around. By the way, must pay attention to safety—remember, safety first!"
Li Long emphasized safety repeatedly, mainly because this is different from other work, cutting trees, moving stones, etc., all have certain dangers.
"Don't worry, I remember it here." Meng Hai smiled, "Didn't I do it before when I led people to the winter shelter in front, I know."
Li Long then relievedly scooped the meat out of the water, put it in a woven bag, placed it behind the car, and drove away.
"Hey, it's good to have a small car, you want to go anywhere, just step on the accelerator and go." Someone said enviously, "Unlike us, we still have to measure with two legs."
"What are you thinking? It's fine to buy a small four-wheeled tractor like Old Meng. That small car is fast, but it can't load, can't pull, can't do work, it just looks good." Some people's thoughts are very practical.
"Work hard, earn more money, and you can afford it later." Meng Hai smiled, "Comrade Li Long said, now our country can produce small cars, that kind of dung beetle-like small car is still expensive, and it will be cheap when it is produced more later."
"How can you afford it?" Some people don't believe it, "That's how much money... many ten-thousand-yuan households?"
"Think about it, did you want to buy a bicycle at the beginning?" Someone felt that Meng Hai's words made sense, "Now? Do you have a bicycle? That small four-wheeled tractor, did you dare to think about it before? Now, aren't you almost able to afford it? How many years has it been?"
"That's still thanks to following Old Meng to work, earned it." Some people have high enlightenment, "In other villages in our commune, many families can't afford bicycles."
"That's not following me," Meng Hai hurriedly corrected, "That's following Comrade Li Long. Aren't these jobs all assigned by Comrade Li Long? It's just that people took a fancy to our ability to make big brooms at the beginning, and this trust was built up bit by bit."
In fact, Meng Hai didn't say much, others know a little bit. Since knowing Li Long, every time Meng Hai knows Li Long enters the mountains, he will bring some things. During festivals, he will also send some local specialties to the Li family. Although it is not said to be very valuable, it is the heart.
When Li Long's son was born, Meng Hai also brought people to visit.
People and people are valuable in heart-to-heart, often walking around, people will think of you when they have good things—of course, first of all, the work must be hard, the big broom is tied well, the quality of the broom is tied well, and Li Long will rest assured to hand over the work to here.
"Yes, yes, Comrade Li Long is really good, can always remember us, and remember us when there is work, these two years life has become better, thanks to him." Someone said, "We repair this road, can earn this number a day, put it in the factory, it is much stronger than those old technical workers!"
"Alright, alright, don't talk, go, hurry up and work." Meng Hai said, "Don't talk until the task today
Then the road construction work continued.
Li Long drove the jeep in a circle first to reach the wooden cabin. Sure enough, just as he had thought, the lock on the wooden cabin door this year had been pried open by someone. The things inside were still there, but there was quite a lot of dust.
The stove and such hadn't been damaged, and the door was closed, only the lock was gone.
Li Long went in and walked around, taking the bedding from the wooden kang out to the outside. The workbench outside was still there, but the iron wire that had originally been tied to two poles was gone; he didn't know who had taken it away to use.
He used a broom to sweep the dust off the workbench clean, and then put the bedding on it to sun.
The wooden frame in the small room was still fine, but there were some tree leaves on the wooden floor; he didn't know if people had brought them in or if the wind had blown them in when the door was open. After he used a broom to clean the inside, he found a lock from the jeep to lock the two doors.
I'll come back and take another look in a while.
Fortunately, we are going to build a road here later, so I'll come to take a look every day or every other day. This wooden cabin was built by Halimu, Yushanjiang, and others helping me; it counts as a spot of mine in the mountains, so I certainly cannot abandon it.
Leaving from the wooden cabin, Li Long drove the jeep out of the mountains and returned to the large courtyard.
Yang Da Jie was telling stories to Mingming and Haohao, and while telling stories, she was also taking the opportunity to teach them both to recite ancient poems, which made Li Long somewhat surprised.
As the jeep drove into the courtyard, Mingming and Haohao climbed up and wanted to crowd over. Yang Da Jie hurriedly pulled the two children back and only let them go after the car stopped and the engine was killed.
"Daddy stinks!"
As soon as Mingming got close to Li Long, he smelled the scent of blood and spoke his mind bluntly.
