Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 192 What kind of people need deer penis supplements?
Seeing that Li Xiangqian also followed him and felt sorry for him, Li Long smiled and said:
"I'm moving my furniture to the mountains these two days, and I'm going to take a walk in the mountains to see if I can hunt some wild animals."

"Now that we're talking about this," Li Xiangqian said in a serious tone, "Can you get the whip of that big elk? A friend of mine needs it. Don't worry, it's not for free. If you pay, you don't have to be polite. We can't work for nothing."

Li Long thought for a moment and said:

"Captain, I'm not bragging to you. This thing is easy to hit, but the main thing is to find it. I can't guarantee that I can find it. After all, the mountain is so big, with so many ditches. If I find it, I think I can hit it with five or six and a half, but if I can't find it, it's hard to say... Does it have to be a red deer?"

"Of course red deer are better. Of course, it would be even better if you could get sika deer..." Li Xiangqian joked.

"It's even more impossible to hit a sika deer. There are no sika deer in our mountain." Li Long also said with a smile, "But I still have two roe deer whips, which are also a kind of deer. If you can hit a red deer, that would be great. If you can't hit it, can you use this to hit it?"

"Try to hunt red deer. Bring me some roe deer, too. I'll give you... fifty dollars a piece. How about that?"

"Okay." Li Long agreed readily. After all, it was foreign money, and he also got a temporary job, and the most important thing was the benefits of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Although the supply and marketing cooperative will be disbanded in a dozen years, during these ten years, we were given houses and yards, and gifts during the New Year and other festivals, so the welfare was quite good!
"Then it's settled. By the way, you want to move furniture, right? Well, I'll send you a big truck. You can use it today. Just send it back to the company in the afternoon." Li Xiangqian was just a good guy. "Go take a good walk in the mountains. You should pay more attention to this matter! You said you were going to use five or six and a half, right? I'll get you another hundred rounds of bullets. That should be enough, right?"

"Enough, enough." The car and bullets were ready, and it was impossible for Li Long not to pay attention. He nodded vigorously and then stood up.

Li Xiangqian approved a note for him, and a large truck arrived at the door in a short while. Li Long took two old tires and a broken tire, threw them on the truck, and put his bicycle on the truck. When the truck arrived in the village, Li Long asked the driver to stop at the store. He got off the truck and bought two packs of cigarettes, then got back on the truck and handed them to the driver:

"Master, take this cigarette. I'm sorry to ask you to run so far. We still have to go to the mountains this afternoon..."

"That's nothing." The job was assigned by Li Xiangqian, the head of purchasing department. Master Luo naturally had no complaints. This young man was very capable and he was also very happy. "Today, I will leave this car and me to you. You can drive wherever you want."

Li Long drove his car to Master Qu's carpentry yard. Master Qu was not there, but Xiao Gao was. He was a little surprised:
"Comrade Li, what are you doing..."

"Please ask a few people to help me move it. I have packed the furniture and I want to take it away."

"You're really good. You use a big car to pull it... There's nothing like this in the whole village!" Xiao Gao was really impressed. "I'll call someone right now."

Li Long was adjusting the furniture on the cart, loading those that were being pulled into the mountain toward the inside and those that were being pulled into the stable house toward the outside.

After the furniture was loaded, Li Long stood in the trunk of the car and patted the roof to ask Master Luo to drive.

The direction had been pointed out in advance, so Master Luo knew where to drive. He drove all the way to Weigou. The cement slabs here could not withstand the weight of a large truck. Fortunately, Master Luo had great driving skills and drove directly through the shallows next to it.

When the car arrived at the stable, it still alarmed quite a few people, and many children ran over to see it - the team itself was located in a remote area and there were seldom any cars coming here, so the children naturally found it rare.

The adults who were idle at home also came to watch the fun. Lao Luo saw Li Long standing in the carriage early and said with a smile:
"This is Li's little dragon coming over. Look at the truckload of furniture he's pulling. I'll have company from now on."

Tao Daqiang had just finished picking up the nets and came out of Li's house when he heard a car horn. He instinctively felt that the car was related to Li Long, so he followed the sound to the horse horn.

"Daqiang, come on, let's unload the furniture together."

The furniture included not only the Mahao but also the Li family. After Li Long put down the wooden frame bed, cabinets, coffee tables and chairs he wanted from the Mahao, he took the car to the Li family.

The children ran after the car like crazy. Without Li Long's instructions, Master Luo drove steadily and slowly as he was afraid of hurting the children.

After unloading the furniture at Li's house, Li Long said to Tao Daqiang:
"Da Qiang, I'm going to the mountains. Do you need anything? If you don't, come with me and help me. I need to set up the mountains."

"Okay." Tao Daqiang was naturally happy. If Li Long went to the mountains, there would be no point for him to stay in the team.

"I'm going to stay in the mountains for a few days. Here's what I'm thinking. If you want to stay with me in the mountains, you can go hunting with me these few days. Let's go hiking. Or you can move and pack the furniture with me, come back with the cart in the afternoon, and then stay at home. When I'm not around, you can set the net and catch fish and sell them yourself. What do you think..."

"I'll go to the mountains with you!" Tao Daqiang made the decision immediately.

"Okay, come, follow me and get your guns." Li Long took Tao Daqiang into the house. He took the 565mm and a half rifle, and asked Tao Daqiang to carry the small-caliber bullets in a shoulder bag. He also took the necessary items such as lighters, and then went out and got in the car.

When the car arrived at the county, Li Long asked Master Luo to go directly to the big meat canteen.

"Won't it waste time?" Master Luo was puzzled. "The sooner you go, the sooner you can return."

"We have to eat." Li Long smiled, "Let's have a nice meal at noon, we still have work to do when we get there."

Master Luo actually understood it. He smiled and said that this young man was quite sensible.

We had a meal of fried pork noodles in the big meat restaurant. Chef Luo added one more noodle, while Li Long and Tao Daqiang each added two noodles. After eating, they drank half a bowl of noodle soup and took a bus to the mountains.

It is actually not difficult to install half a truck of furniture. It just needs to be moved from the mouth of the ditch to where the winter wooden house is located, which takes some effort.

Li Long and Tao Daqiang both sat in the co-pilot seat this time. Tao Daqiang came back from the big box last time after finishing the work, so this time he sat in the co-pilot seat, feeling a little nervous.

Li Long was quite relaxed. He chatted with Master Luo and soon came out. Master Luo's car was used to travel around Ma County, mainly responsible for purchasing tasks. He was actually there when the boss was pulled last time, but he didn't see Li Long much.

When they arrived at the mountain, although Li Long was quite familiar with the area around Dongwozi, he could only lead the way to a place two hundred meters away from Dongwozi's wooden house. The car could not go in any further - in fact, there was a ditch in the middle, and it was difficult for the car to climb the slope. It would be easier for a horse carriage to pass through.

"Master Luo, please park the car here. Please wait here for a while. You can go back after we move the furniture."

"Okay, you guys carry it." Master Luo nodded.

Li Long and Tao Daqiang moved all the furniture to the other side of the ditch. Master Luo then moved two chairs to the wooden house, and then drove back after Li Long's persuasion.

"It's up to us now." Li Long smiled, "Look at the two hundred meters. This pine furniture is not light."

"That's no big deal." Tao Daqiang was least afraid of hard work. "It's just a matter of two or three trips." As he said that, he carried the cabinet and strode towards the wooden house alone.

What a fool!
Li Long hurriedly followed behind, carrying a wooden coffee table. After two or three trips, the furniture was moved to the front of the wooden house, and the next step was to set it up.

The main thing was to place things in the small room, and live in the big room. Li Long felt a little awkward at this time. The big room had a wooden kang, which was big enough for two people to sleep on, but two grown men sleeping on one kang...

"Brother Long, I'll sleep in the small room tonight." Tao Daqiang took the initiative to resolve the awkward situation. "I snore loudly. If you share a room with me, you won't be able to sleep well."

"All right, the bedding is enough anyway. Come, I'll pay you the money for the water rat last time." Li Long took out the money from his pocket. "Last time, it was four skins and a sachet, and the total sales were fifty-four yuan. The skinning and selling things are mine, so I'll take the four yuan. Let's split the remaining fifty, twenty-five each, and I'll give it to you."

"So much?" Although Tao Daqiang already knew that the skin and sachets of water rats were expensive, he didn't expect them to be so expensive!
Twenty-five were divided into one litter, and there is still one litter that has not been divided. So I must have another fifty, right?

He held the money in disbelief.

"Let's take a break today and walk around the area. If we come across anything, we'll take it. If not, we'll look for it tomorrow. By the way, let's look for mushrooms and other things. We can make some soup tonight."

There are all kinds of equipment here, so there is no problem with short-term living.

Tao Daqiang looked around curiously, touched the wall from time to time, jumped up and touched the roof, and then said to Li Long:
"Brother Long, you are awesome! This is your own house! It's great to have your own house in the mountains!"

He couldn't imagine it, as he still lived with his father, and he had never thought about having his own room.

But when I saw Li Long decorate his own house in the stable before, and now he has a wooden house in the mountains, it is impossible not to be envious.

"Haha, if you work hard, you can have one too. This thing is only good now. In ten or twenty years, it will be an illegal building." Li Long smiled, "Okay, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. I haven't digested the noodles I had at noon yet."

"Let's lock the bicycle in the house and go to the mountains," Li Long said, "and see if there's any prey."

Ten or twenty years ago, it was very difficult to encounter wild animals in the mountains. At that time, the range of activities of mountain people had expanded a lot. Usually, wild animals could only be seen in the early morning and at night.

But at this time, there are more wild animals in the mountains than people, and they move more freely, so Li Long wanted to take a look at the ditches that Yushanjiang and Halimu mentioned, to see if there is anything he can gain.

Tao Daqiang was naturally happy to do so. He pushed his bicycle into the small room, locked the door, then followed Li Long carrying a small-caliber gun and a bag of urea.

Li Long carried five or six rifles on his back, as well as a shoulder bag with some bullets in it, and then walked up the hillside to the east.

It is said that mushrooms like shade, but they picked some straw mushrooms on the sunny hillside. Because the resource is abundant, Li Long is very picky and specifically wants the kind of mushrooms that have just emerged and have not yet opened their umbrellas. Such mushrooms are delicious.

He didn't want the ones with open umbrellas, as he couldn't take them back anyway, and he had no plans to dry the mushrooms for the time being, so he just took them casually.

After crossing the mountain ridge and entering the ravine, there were shrubs on the north and pine forests on the south. The grass at the bottom of the ravine was very deep. Li Long pointed at Tao Daqiang as he walked and said:
"Look, that's Fritillary."

"Is this Fritillaria? Why does it look a bit like knotweed?"

"That's different. Look at the leaves, they haven't bloomed yet. If you dig them up now, there will be a round lump underneath." Li Long said as he walked, "Look, this whole area is full of them."

"So many?" Tao Daqiang suddenly became excited. "Is there probably dozens of them?"

"Well, more than that." Li Long waved his hand, "If you are an experienced worker, you can dig several kilograms a day here. But this forest should also be assigned to the forestry team. When digging, you may encounter patrols from the forestry team, which is troublesome."

Tao Daqiang felt a little regretful, this was all money!

Looking at Tao Daqiang's expression, Li Long knew what he was thinking and said with a smile:
"If I can get a certificate from the forest ranger in a couple of days, I can come over and dig some if I have nothing to do. Let's save ourselves the trouble now."

Fritillaria usually blooms in May, which is the time when Fritillaria seeds grow. If you want to dig them, you can actually make some money.

But Li Long thought this was too tiring - hunting is also tiring, you might not get anything after running for a whole day, but the feeling is completely different.

Besides, the main reason was that Li Xiangqian was in a hurry to get the deer penis - who would need a deer penis so urgently?
Chen Hongjun at the purchasing station didn't mention much about purchasing deer penis, so although everyone admits that this is a good Chinese medicine, it is not an urgent need, unlike Fritillaria and Deer antler.

Li Long walked along the ditch while thinking about all sorts of things. The grass was very deep. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front of him. Tao Daqiang shouted:
"Brother Long, rabbit!"

When Li Long looked over, a gray wild rabbit had already jumped into the grass and ran away.

"Too fast, hard to fight." Li Long waved his hand, "There are not only wild rabbits here, but also pheasants. I picked up a nest of pheasant eggs the other day and took them back to Mrs. Lu's chickens to sit on their nests."

Tao Daqiang was very interested. Although he only saw a wild rabbit and had no chance to hunt it, he felt that this life was much more interesting than being in the team.

Walking along this ditch and crossing several mountains, Li Long came to the ditch where Yushanjiang had pointed out deer were active.

Unfortunately, there are no deer here, not even any antlers.

He was not very disappointed. If he could find a red deer in one trip, it would be great luck.

After walking a long way, Li Long saw some Codonopsis pilosula in the bushes. It was not worth digging it at this time, but there was a large patch of it, and some of the stems were very thick. Li Long found a hard branch on the side, picked up a soft spot and started digging.

Tao Daqiang asked curiously:
"Brother Long, what are you digging?"

"Dangshen." Li Long said, "I didn't bring any water, so my mouth is a little dry. I'll dig some Codonopsis to eat."

The soil was quite soft, and Li Long quickly dug out the thin reeds more than 20 centimeters long under the roots of Codonopsis pilosula, revealing the ginseng body.

Digging deeper, wow, isn’t this Codonopsis as thick as an arm?
