~10 min read 1,891 words

Those two people saw Li Long slow down, so they walked to the side of the road, looking at Li Long in the driver's position with a smile.

When Li Long was about to reach them, one of them said loudly:

"Comrade Li Long, right? I am Zhao Zongming, the company commander of the 13th Company next to Wang Mingjun and the others. I have some things to talk to you about."

Being able to say his name, and still being a company commander, Li Long put down most of his vigilance. He also saw that the two people didn't take anything, thought about his martial arts value, hmm, confident, so he pulled over and stopped the car, then got down.

"Company Commander Zhao, hello." Li Long shook hands with Zhao Zongming, Zhao Zongming pointed to the person on the side and said: "This is our deputy company commander He Manhua."

"Deputy Company Commander He, hello." Li Long also shook hands with that deputy company commander.

Zhao Zongming was not tall, looked a bit old, felt older than Li Jianguo, while this Deputy Company Commander He was quite young, less than thirty, just a bit silly, only smiling and not talking.

"I heard you came over this time, we were a bit presumptuous to stop you here, mainly wanting to ask about the big broom matter," Zhao Zongming said directly, "Originally wanted to invite you to our company to sit, but don't know if you have time..."

"No, Company Commander Wang asked me to eat and I didn't stay," Li Long shook his head, "Relatively busy recently..."

"Understand, understand," Zhao Zongming nodded, "Then let's talk directly. Our company also wants to take the big broom work. Rest assured, our tying big brooms definitely won't be worse than Wang Mingjun's company..."

"Hmm, we can definitely guarantee this!" The deputy company commander repeated on the side.

Li Long shook his head and said: "Company Commander Zhao, I don't doubt this, but this time I came to find Company Commander Wang, what I wanted to say is that up to now, the big broom work given by the higher-ups hasn't come down. I did let them prepare to tie, but I will come over in about half a month. When the time comes, if the work from the higher-ups hasn't come, I will suffer and collect these big brooms myself, and won't tie them later. If the work comes, then that's another matter..."

"So that's how it is..." Zhao Zongming's expression became serious, "Since it's like this, then if we want to tie, we can't force it on you."

"If this year's task is more than last year's, then I can completely share some with you. After all, the time is relatively tight, and it's fine to have more units join in. But at the moment, whether there is a task, and how many there are, I don't know either," Li Long said very sincerely, "So I can't give you an answer now."

"Then the price of one big broom..."

"If the price given by the higher-ups doesn't change, then it's three yuan and five for one. If there is a change, we will talk about it," Li Long said, which was the same as Wang Mingjun's side.

"Three yuan and five, not little," Zhao Zongming obviously heard the price, but hearing it from Li Long's mouth, he was still a bit surprised, "Tying five or six a day is ten or twenty yuan."

"But the quality requirement is very strict," Li Long reiterated, "I won't collect those that are unqualified."

"What standard?" Zhao Zongming asked immediately, "Tell me, I'll write it down."

Li Long told the standard of the big broom, Zhao Zongming's expression relaxed, and he said with a smile:

"It's very easy, we also tie big brooms like this usually."

"You shouldn't think so," Li Long shook his head solemnly, "The big brooms collected by our supply and marketing cooperative before were tied according to the usual standards. As a result? After being collected, they were often criticized by leaders. That is, after sweeping for ten days and a half months, the reeds fell off. This kind of big broom I don't collect here—I check very strictly, and I don't want unqualified big brooms.

Also, the reeds can't be too brittle, those that break after sweeping a few times won't do."

Only after Li Long said this did Zhao Zongming take it seriously.

"Manhua, did you write it down?"

"Wrote it down."

"That's good, let's go back, tie a few first," Zhao Zongming said to Li Long again: "Comrade Li Long, you are coming over in ten days or half a month, right? Can you contact us in advance? When the time comes, let us show you the samples. If it works, if it can be done, we will do it accordingly, and it won't delay anything if it can't be done."

"Okay, leave your company's phone number," Li Long felt that having more competition was also good, this could pinch the tip, and could also complete the task in advance. Of course, if this year's task quantity was more, it would be good to have a response.

Zhao Zongming left the company's phone number, and also wanted Li Long's phone number. Li Long left the acquisition station's phone number to them.

"Come, come, come, Manhua, load the chicken for Comrade Li Long." Zhao Zongming finally said.

He Manhua took out a sack from the ditch by the road. The sack was moving, and there were living things inside.

"These four big roosters are our little heart, Comrade Li Long, you must take them," Zhao Zongming said sincerely.

"No, no, no, no need," Li Long hurriedly refused. Just kidding, it wouldn't do to owe favors before doing anything.

But Li Long didn't refuse in the end, letting He Manhua throw the sack directly into the back seat, piled up with the watermelons.

Li Long was helpless, waved his hands at the two people, and then drove away. He had to rush home.

Returning to the big courtyard, Li Long, with such a good body, also felt a bit tired.

After all, running back and forth this day, dealing with so many people, the body was tired and the heart was also tired.

Fortunately, the expected ideas were all achieved, and next he could prepare to go to Yanjing with peace of mind.

Since he was going again, he had to bring some gifts for Director Dai there, Little Wang who helped him supervise the work, and his sister-in-law Gu Xiao Yu.

Gu Xiao Yu and Little Wang were relatively easy, just bring practical things. Li Long thought about bringing more wind-dried meat over. At this time, even families with relatively good conditions couldn't eat meat every meal. This wind-dried meat was easy to store, convenient to take over and put there, and convenient to eat.

As for Director Dai, naturally, he wasn't short of meat to eat. Li Long thought about it, and planned to bring two deer antlers and one deer whip from here. The price of these things wasn't very high, calculated at two or three hundred yuan, but the things were good things, and Director Dai also knew the goods.

He had deer antlers and deer whips at home, and he also had wind-dried meat at home, but the inventory wasn't much. If he wanted to take twenty or thirty kilograms away, he had to make more for his own family to eat.

Thinking about himself going, it would take at least ten days to go back and forth, so Li Long thought about going to Old Ma Hao to slaughter a sheep and bring it back tomorrow, and make it into wind-dried meat at home to prepare.

Talking about this with Gu Xiaoxia at night, Gu Xiaoxia said: "Then take a few pieces of jade to Gu Xiao Yu. I have been doing this with her for a while, and such jade artifacts are quite popular there.

I take the things, she takes the goods, the money earned is half for each of us. In just these two months, we two earned two or three thousand yuan!"

"Not bad!" Li Long said with a smile, "Then just right, when going to Wucheng, I will go to the jade factory to buy some more and take them over."

"What if they don't open the door there? You take a few from home to prepare," Gu Xiaoxia was a bit worried, "This way I don't have to mail them from the post office. Things mailed are still not safe. Gu Xiao Yu said one of them cracked in the middle."

Li Long thought it was the same. Parcel transportation couldn't be as safe as taking it himself. There were many stations in the middle, and there were all kinds of people. Some would be very good and very careful, some would be relatively rough, this was inevitable. He even heard that people at some stations would open the parcels if they saw food written on them and take them out to eat.

There was no way, it was impossible for everyone's quality to be very high.

So the preparation work added one more thing.

The two discussed Li Long's itinerary to Yanjing in detail, as well as some trivial arrangements for the family after Li Long left.

Because the two children Mingming and Haohao didn't sleep peacefully at night, Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia didn't have any movements.

After all, the child is older and knows how to talk. If they accidentally blurted something out, it would be quite embarrassing.

The next day Li Long began to pack his luggage. Deer antlers and deer whips could be wrapped in cloth first, wind-dried meat didn't need to be rushed, just pack it the day before leaving. Anyway, a big backpack could hold everything he needed.

This big backpack was a bit big for ordinary people, but its original owner was tall and big, and Li Long's figure was also tall and big, so it was just right to carry.

Li Long himself only needed to bring two sets of clothes to change. According to Gu Xiaoxia, he should bring more money and a few pieces of jade.

When Li Long was packing his luggage, he thought about it and took out two thousand from the remaining US dollars to pack, which was considered preparation. As for whether he could buy things, it depended on the situation.

He made preparations so early because he called the resident office there two days ago, and they said the decoration work was nearing the end, it would be over soon, not exceeding a week.

So Li Long thought about going over now, plus three or four days on the road, it would be just right when he arrived there.

He planned to take the train on July 30th. It wasn't the farming season or the student return season, so the train should have tickets and not be crowded.

As a result, the day before he left, Li Xiangqian called here to notify Li Long: the big broom work had come down!

Getting the news, Li Long hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative. He wanted to hear the specific situation. ===== CHAPTER 985 =====
