Chapter 983: Preparation before going to Yanjing again: Old Li, this work you have to

Black tiger palm mushrooms were easier to grade than collecting fritillaria, only needing to look at the completeness of the dried mushrooms. What Tie Lanhua had to deal with in the backyard was just cutting the feet and removing the residue, which was much easier.

In late July, the wheat in the fields was almost harvested. Li Long returned to the Fourth Team again.

There were six or seven wheat fields in the whole village, and each wheat field now had large stacks of wheat straw. Old Ma Hao also piled quite a few outside the outer wall here. This was bought by Old Luo and the others as feed for the cattle.

Cutting the wheat straw into short sections and mixing it with sugar residue, the cattle liked to eat it very much.

Li Jianguo had returned from harvesting wheat. At this time, he was tidying up the Dongfanghong 75 tractor. After the wheat was cut, the wheat in the wheat field was collected into the warehouse, and the public grain was paid, so the farmers had free time to prepare for plowing the land.

"Big brother, are there many people looking for you to plow the land this year?" Li Long leaned against the tractor and asked Li Jianguo after distributing the snacks he brought back to Li Juan and Li Qiang.

"Many, hey, except for a few who have a good relationship with Wang Cai Mi and Old Xu, others have all come to me," Li Jianguo laughed, "Every family planted wheat, this plowing work has to be done for a while."

"This season of harvesting wheat, can you earn a tractor?" Li Long looked at his big brother who was tanned dark, feeling a bit distressed, "Your face is so dark, it will take a while to raise it back, right?"

"What's wrong with being dark?" Li Jianguo didn't care at all, saying while applying grease to the tractor, "It will be raised back in a winter. The wheat field will be raised back in half a month."

"Then like this, big brother, I might go to Yanjing in a few days, I have to see the situation of our courtyards, do you want to go?"

"Not going, this hot weather, where is there time to run outside?" Li Jianguo hurriedly waved his hand, "Is it going to be tying big brooms again?"

"What I want to say is just this. If you don't go, then prepare the courtyard when the time comes. I can't come down every day. This work of collecting big brooms in our team, how about you be the general person in charge after plowing the land?"

"Okay, that saves trouble, I won't tie it," Li Jianguo smiled, "It's troublesome to grab reeds everywhere. Xu Haijun has already entered the mountains to cut poles. He earned money selling these poles these two years, tasted the sweetness, and brought people into the mountains very early."

"Don't run into the forestry team," Li Long said, "If they run into him cutting poles, won't they catch him?"

"He came once, saying he found a relationship in the county, and the forestry team had already greeted him," Li Jianguo applied the grease, put down the grease gun, took out a cigarette and lit it, saying while smoking:

"This is also a good thing. Our team's poles are not enough. This month, tying big brooms can also tie several thousand, and more than ten thousand is also possible. But less than half of the suitable poles can be found."

Li Long knew that the matter of poles must be arranged in advance. Last year, the prefecture issued a task of thirty thousand big brooms. This year should be about the same, right? In a month's time, one must prepare the preparatory work in advance, otherwise, it is really possible that they won't be tied enough.

"The team is the basic disk," Li Long thought for a while and said, "We will collect according to the previous price, three yuan and five. Big brother, you draw five dimes for one big broom, I will take it from you at four yuan."

"Then can I still earn your money?" Li Jianguo thought that plowing the land earned a lot, and still draw money from the big broom here?

"That's different, you did the work, you can't let you do it for nothing," Li Long smiled, "If the price of big brooms increases, then I will draw one yuan for you."

"Don't need that much, I'll just check the quality," Li Jianguo waved his hand, "Anyway, everyone is a skilled hand, and they are used to me being stricter."

After talking about this with his big brother, Li Long felt relieved. He entered the vegetable garden to pick a tomato, broke it open and ate it, feeling it was not bad, so he simply found two willow baskets from the courtyard and picked two baskets ready to take back.

"Don't pick more?" Li Jianguo asked, "Your sister-in-law went to find bottles, saying she would make more sauce this year."

"Enough to eat." Li Long put the two baskets of tomatoes into the car and said to his big brother: "Big brother, you are busy, I still have to tell other places."

The work of tying big brooms was in Qingshuihe and Wang Mingjun's team.

However, Li Long had to go to Li Xiangqian first to finalize this matter.

"Not eating anymore?" Li Jianguo reminded, "Old father and old mother went to the wheat field to tidy up the wheat miscellaneous heads, knowing you came back and didn't eat and run, they will complain again."

"It's okay," Li Long said with a smile, "Eat when I have time next time."

Driving the jeep, Li Long went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Li Xiangqian was chatting with Zhou Yuan under the eaves of the supply and marketing cooperative courtyard. Seeing Li Long drive the jeep in, both of them looked at him with a smile.

Li Long got out of the car, took a basket of tomatoes from the back seat, and said with a smile: "Two leaders, come, taste the tomatoes from my house."

"Hey, just took this to give us to eat?" Although Li Xiangqian said so, he gave face and took one from inside, broke it open, shared half with Zhou Yuan, took a bite, and said vaguely: "The taste is not bad."

"Hmm, that's fine," Li Long said with a smile, "Then I'll talk about the matter next."

"Hey, your gift is really light enough," Zhou Yuan also joked, "First time seeing a gift sent so openly."

"Anyway, it's not a rare thing," Li Long smiled, "Director, has the work of tying big brooms come down?"

"Not yet, estimated to be soon."

"I might go to Yanjing in these two days, but I will come back soon. You must keep this work for me."

"Hmm, keep it," Li Xiangqian nodded, "I'm not at ease handing this work to others. But you have to be fast."

"This is fine, I have already handed over the matter to each point. They have already started tying now."

"Prepared so early? Aren't you afraid there won't be this work this year?" Zhou Yuan finished eating, took another one from the basket, saw Li Xiangqian didn't finish eating, so he ate it himself, saying while eating.

"Tie it first, if there is really no work, I will collect the big brooms myself, and then find a way to sell them," Li Long said, "Our big brooms are of good quality, not worried about selling."

He was convinced that the big broom work, after the reputation and market were established, would definitely not have no tasks. After all, it was not easy to have local specialties in Northern Xinjiang, so naturally, they wouldn't give up.

If there was any wind and grass movement, he thought Director Qian should also inform in advance, right?

"Okay, you are busy, as long as you arrange it well, it's still that sentence, guarantee the quality when handing it in."

In this regard, Li Xiangqian was very at ease with Li Long. Just as he said himself, if it was a few thousand big brooms, then change someone else. Last year, thirty thousand big brooms at once, this year should be about this number. With so many big brooms, letting him find someone to hand over the task, he himself was definitely not at ease.

Li Long chatted here for a while, looked at the time, and it was enough to run to Meng Hai's place, so he said goodbye to Li Xiangqian and drove the car to Qingshuihe Village again.

Meng Hai was loading his own wheat straw in the wheat field here. He sold this wheat straw to a family raising cattle, the money was collected, and he had to help others load the car and pull it over—using his own tractor.

Li Long drove to his house first, Meng Hai's wife said he was in the wheat field, so Li Long drove the jeep to the wheat field again.

Wang Cailing, who was preparing to cook here, thought for a while, ran directly to the chicken coop, grabbed a big rooster, took a knife and slaughtered it, and started to scald the hair and open the stomach.

It was less than an hour before mealtime, anyway, he had to keep Li Long for a meal.

Arriving at the wheat field, Li Long saw Meng Hai loading wheat straw, so he went over to find a wooden fork to help, and while helping, told Meng Hai about the big broom matter.

Because there were other people, Li Long just said to let Meng Hai be responsible for the collection of goods in Qingshuihe Village.

"Still that sentence, quality first, I will spot-check. If the spot-check is not suitable, the same batch will not be wanted," Li Long made strict requirements, "You are the general person in charge, I have to find you if there is something, of course, if it is qualified, there will definitely be a reward."

"Okay, Comrade Li Long, actually I have been thinking about finding you to confirm these two days, and then plan to enter the mountains to cut poles," Every season has something to do, Meng Hai also knew very well, so he said so.

The Dongfanghong 75 tractor was now parked at Meng Hai's house, and there was a five-share plow behind it, but Meng Hai obviously didn't mean to use this tractor to plow the land to earn money, which made Li Long relatively relieved.

"Then prepare to cut. Actually, the prefecture hasn't issued a task now, but I think there won't be less this year, so prepare in advance. When the time comes, if the prefecture doesn't collect, then I will collect the big brooms myself, and then find a way to sell them out." ===== CHAPTER 984 =====
