Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

The next day, Wei Tianxing hurriedly drove his tractor to Li Long's yard. His tractor couldn't drive in, so he had to park it outside.

Gu Xiaoxia went to work, Sister Yang went to sell food, Han Fang went to school, and Li Long was the only one in the yard.

There was also a harvester that had been set up. Li Long had simply wiped it, and it looked very new.

Wei Tianxing excitedly handed a stack of big unity notes to Li Long.

Li Long took the money, counted it to be five hundred and fifty yuan, and put it away.

"Drive the tractor in, and we'll put the harvester on for you. Then I'll tell you how to operate it and how to unload it."

Wei Tianxing thought that Li Long had simply asked him to take the harvester away, and that he could figure out the rest on his own. Theoretically, he was still competing with him for business.

Unexpectedly, Li Long would explain it to him in detail. Yesterday, Li Long had already said that he would teach him how to operate it, and Wei Tianxing thought that Li Long was just being polite.

It’s really teaching.

That’s great!
Wei Tianxing hurried to drive the tractor in, and then Li Long demonstrated to him how to install the harvester on the anti-collision beam in front of the tractor. The newly purchased tractors here have a horizontal track steel in front, which serves as an anti-collision beam.

At the same time, this thing can also be used to install various agricultural machinery because it has slide rails and holes for screwing screws.

Watching Li Long install the harvester skillfully, Wei Tianxing felt a little envious. When would he become so skilled?

"Come on, try it out first. Then you can install it, then we'll install the belt, and finally start debugging."

Li Long was really doing it for the service. He came from his previous life and knew how important service was to a person's impression. When he bought his first car, he didn't compare the performance of the car, but the service of the store.

At that time, the cooperative was distributing dividends, and the cotton price was rising sharply. We distributed more than 200,000 yuan at once, which was very inflated. Buying a car with 20,000 yuan more or less is nothing.

But the service others gave him was particularly good, so he really thought that the car must be good too.

Then I bought it. At that time, domestic cars had already become popular, and the performance of various cars looked varied. Anyway, they were easier to drive than tractors.

Of course, it was only that year. In the following few years, one reason was that some of the contracted land expired and there was not much land left. Second, the price of cotton fell, and the annual dividends were basically within 100,000.

After that, Li Long behaved himself.

In this life, Li Long has seen that the service quality in various stores is really average or even poor, and it can even be said that there is no service awareness at all.

Why did his fish sell faster than others? Isn't it because he is more enthusiastic and more daring to call out to others in the market? If you call customers "big brother", "sister-in-law", "uncle" or "auntie", they will think you are polite.

This was very common in later generations, but at this time, when the market had just started and stalls were just beginning to be set up, 80% of the people selling things just let people choose them and didn't know how to shout.

It's not just the products that are ahead of others, but also the services.

Of course, he was also afraid that Wei Tianxing would ruin his character.

Wei Tianxing didn’t buy anything from him last time. If he goes back and tells lies, anyone with a discerning eye will know what’s going on. How could he possibly sell the money-making stuff to you?

So even if Wei Tianxing ruined his reputation, he was not afraid.

But this time it was different, because I was selling a harvester, so people could actually see what was going on. If I hadn't taught him, and Wei Tianxing didn't know how to operate it, then he would blame me for not telling him and not having an instruction manual, and then everyone would definitely believe it.

But if I teach carefully, and Wei Tianxing drives skillfully when he returns, and advertises for me, then won’t business come?
At that time, there was no precedent for advertising on the radio or in newspapers, so if you wanted to sell something, you could only rely on word of mouth.

So Li Long took these two aspects into consideration and taught very carefully. It was only half an hour longer, and it was worth it.

Wei Tianxing was busy screwing the screws excitedly. It was cold, but he was sweating profusely, with mist coming out from the edge of his hat, making him look like an immortal.

Li Long didn't find it funny. This was something people relied on to make money. If you made a harvester, you could earn a tractor in a summer. Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing?
To be honest, there are many opportunities to make a fortune, it just depends on how you find them.

Li Long was thinking of bringing out a wealthy team in one or two years. Currently, there are less than ten families in the township that own tractors, and next year the number will increase to 20 at most. Most of the increase will come from the fourth team, and the county will pay attention to it when it arrives.

But it doesn't matter, he has already become famous, so even if he becomes more famous it won't be as big as the last time. He just wants to put up the sign of letting the rich lead the poor. At least in the next three to five years, some of the marginal things he has done will not be dealt with severely.

Wei Tianxing loaded and unloaded twice and got the hang of it. Then Li Long began to teach him how to put on the belt. The belt was easy to put on. Just remove one of the V-belts from the four-wheel tractor, make room, and then put on the wheel belt of the harvester.

Because it needs to be tightened, the belt is difficult to put on in winter. Wei Tianxing tried for a long time but failed. Li Long said to him:

"It's very cold in the winter, but it will be better in the summer." After saying that, he took a stick and put on the belt seemingly easily.

Wei Tianxing was thinking, "Are you making fun of me for being old? I'm not even 40 yet!"
But there was nothing he could do, he was not as strong as Li Long, so he could only watch.

Li Long took Pipi off. He was still not convinced and wanted to try again, but still couldn't get on.

Forget it, let's wait until summer. Since Li Long can go up, it means that there is no problem with this belt.

Then Li Long asked him to drive the tractor, and he sat on it, and asked Wei Tianxing to sit on the operating board, while he explained the operation to him.

Wei Tianxing listened very carefully, and at this moment he just regretted not bringing a notebook with him.

He thought that if he didn't know how to do it, he would go to the Li family to ask.

After Li Long finished the operation, he stopped the harvester and let Wei Tianxing operate it himself.

Wei Tianxing operated the harvester very carefully, as if he was afraid of breaking down the harvester. He was just like Li Long when he first touched his car. He had to figure out every switch button before he touched it.

So Li Long didn't laugh at him, but instead reminded him when he couldn't remember and was in a panic.

After teaching Wei Tianxing, I will have experience in teaching my eldest brother, Tao Daqiang, Xie Yundong and Liang Dacheng.

Wei Tianxing finally transported the harvester away with satisfaction. Yes, after he unloaded the harvester, he lifted it onto the truck bed with the help of Li Long, tied it up with ropes, and then pulled it back.

When leaving, Wei Tianxing sincerely thanked Li Long. He felt that Li Long was very thoughtful to sell him the harvester, and the 550 yuan was really worth it.

While driving on the road, Wei Tianxing was still thinking about the other harvesters in Li Long's yard.

He was thinking, is it... Hmm. Anyway, there are 17 townships in the county, and how many tractors does Li Long have in the joint venture? Including his own, there are no more than 10, and there are still many empty ones, so... is it...

His mind came alive.

Li Long successfully sold a harvester and was very happy. He remembered that Director Du said that the wholesale price for the next batch of modified harvesters would be at least 400 yuan per unit.

If you sell it for more than 600 yuan, you will still make a profit.

You can sell this second-hand harvester at a low price or keep it at home.

In the afternoon, Li Long brought a yellow goat leg to see Li Xiangqian. Li Xiangqian was in the office. It was cold now, and the purchases in the supply and marketing cooperative were basically stopped. It was mainly because the roads were difficult to travel in winter. If there were things that were not urgent, they could go there in the spring of next year.

Li Long told Li Xiangqian about Ma Aihong's situation. Li Xiangqian asked:

"You went to Kuitun? To see your brother or to do some business?"

"I have both. I went to pick up the harvester I ordered from the Kuitun Agricultural Machinery Factory. I also went to visit my brother and gave him some rice and flour. We have a big family and my second sister-in-law doesn't have a job, so life is not easy."

"Yeah. But anyway, it's better than my hometown." Li Xiangqian nodded and said, "Is the road okay?"

"That's good. We encountered a herd of gazelles along the way. I hunted them. Now I'm giving you a leg."

"Yellow sheep, I remember Qian Zhu liked to hunt them... Are there many yellow sheep?"

"A lot. I saw several groups of them. I didn't even get off the tractor. They were looking for food on the roadside, but they ran away when the tractor came. They ran a few dozen meters and stopped. I shot them directly from the tractor."

"Why don't you do more?" Li Xiangqian was very interested, but also complained.

"Just give me time to shoot this group. The others have run far away. I'm wearing thick clothes and it's hard to chase them."

Li Xiangqian believed it. But since there were groups of them, it should be easier to fight. He was thinking, and Li Long did not interrupt, thinking whether he should go back. "Come on, I'll take you to see something." After thinking, Li Xiangqian pulled Li Long to the warehouse.

Li Long thought that Li Xiangqian had bought some new gadget, but when he opened the warehouse, he saw a room full of thick plastic pipes.

The kind used for drilling wells.

"How about it? A lot, right? One thousand five hundred meters!" Li Xiangqian said proudly.

Li Long was really a little shocked:

"You bought them all? When did you buy them?"

"Half a month ago." Li Xiangqian was still feeling proud and said with a smile, "I was worried that once spring came, there would be more people digging wells and the supply would be tight, so I simply bought it before the New Year. As a result, people saw that I bought a lot and gave me a lot less."

Li Long looked at the warehouse full of plastic pipes and thought that this would definitely be enough, enough to bring water to dozens of herdsmen, let alone a dozen.

After Li Long left, Li Xiangqian returned to the office, thought about it, and made a phone call.

"Hello, Director Qian? I'm Xiao Li, right, Li Xiangqian. Winter is here. Our Xiao Long, the one who took us hunting yellow sheep last year, went to Kuitun yesterday to do some work. He said that there are many yellow sheep in the uninhabited area between Shawan and Kuitun, all in groups.

Yes, yes, it's the yellow antelope. I thought you like hunting, and the yellow antelope horns have special uses, so I wanted to inform you...

It was an easy fight, an easy fight. He said he didn't even get off the tractor, the gazelles were looking for food on the roadside, and when the tractor arrived they ran several dozen meters away, and Li Long aimed his gun at them from the tractor and shot them.

Really, really, I have a yellow sheep leg here, it’s very fresh... OK, OK, I’ll wait for you then!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiangqian touched his chin, looked at the yellow sheep leg and smiled.

Their family has no shortage of meat. To be honest, the yellow mutton is a little more smelly than the mutton sold in the market or food factories, but they just eat it for the sake of freshness.

But since Li Long sent him the meat, he accepted the favor. The young man was very particular about favors, so Li Xiangqian didn't mind helping him more on some major tasks.

They are our own people, so of course we have to take care of them.

If you really meet that kind of idiot, who thinks that even if you are given a task, he has earned it through his own ability, no one wants to get close to such a person.

It is right to be serious about some issues of principle, but some things should be handled flexibly.

This is Li Xiangqian's principle in dealing with people.

Li Long didn't know that Li Xiangqian had already reported the matter to the people at the higher level unit. He left the supply and marketing cooperative, returned to the compound, and began to clean his gun.

After each use, he would have to maintain the gun before the next use. He thought that he would not use the gun in the future, so he would maintain it and put it away. He thought that these five or six semi-automatic rifles could be used for at least seven or eight years, and they would have to be concealed when they were used in the future.

However, hunting rifles and small-caliber rifles can still be used for a while, until the superiors issue a complete gun ban in a dozen years. At that time, we should hand them in and do what we should do.

After more than ten years, Li Long felt that he could make something good with this gun.

Of course, there are a lot of good things now. Some things, such as tiger skin and snow leopard skin, are unlikely to be found again unless you are extremely lucky.

When Li Long came back, Sister Yang was cooking. He greeted her and went into the house to maintain his gun.

Li Long now had all the accessories for his gun, including oil bottles, gun oil for both winter and summer, and plenty of gun cleaning cloths. The gun accessories he had exchanged from the herdsmen were not complete, but now they were all complete.

I have to say, it’s good to have a unit.

Because I had shot before, this time I mainly cleaned the inside of the barrel. I used a cleaning rod with an oilcloth on it to clean it several times, and then used a clean cloth to clean it twice. When I looked into the barrel from the muzzle, it was very bright, which meant it was cleaned well.

This gun has been used for quite a long time. Although the rifling is still very clear, to be honest, it is still a lot worse than a new gun.

But Li Long didn't think about getting a new gun, which was really hard to get at this time. After all, new guns were basically in the unit, with serial numbers, and couldn't be replaced.

After cleaning the gun, Li Long put the five or six and a half into the holster and put it away in the room, thinking that he would not take it out for a while.

Next, he planned to go back to the team from time to time to accompany the old man to dig holes in the ice and catch fish as a form of entertainment.

The old man is not actually short of money, but he is addicted to catching fish and selling them. He has been doing it for the whole summer, including last year. If he decides not to do it this year, wouldn’t the old man feel bad?
But you can't go there every day, mainly because the weather is getting colder day by day. By late December, the temperature outside reaches over minus 30 degrees Celsius, which can freeze people through in a short time. No matter how thick your clothes are, you can't stand staying outside for a long time.

So just do it once every three to five days to satisfy your desire.

This was his plan, but things didn't work out that fast. The next day after breakfast, Li Xiangqian came to catch him.

Gu Xiaoxia had already gone to work, and Sister Yang was loading food onto the food cart. When she heard a knock on the door, she went to open it, but Li Long went over first.

Seeing Li Xiangqian pushing a bicycle outside the door, Li Long was a little surprised. He opened the door and let Li Xiangqian in and asked:

"Chief, what's going on so early in the morning?"

"I won't go in. Pack up and bring your gun to the community. We have a mission."

"Carrying a gun? Going hunting?" Li Long understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

"Yes, Director Qian is coming. Remember? He was the one who hunted yellow sheep last year." Li Xiangqian said, "I told Director Qian about your suggestion that there was a group of yellow sheep in the uninhabited area east of Kuitun. He immediately decided to bring a car here today and hunt a few there."

Li Long nodded to show that he understood.

"If you want to go, pack up quickly, bring your gun and wait with me at the community. If you don't want to go, that's fine too. When you get to the community, just explain the situation clearly. It's not some deep mountain forest anyway, we can find it."

"Go and come back on the same day, right?" Li Long asked.

"Of course, Director Qian doesn't even want to stay in the county. He wants to go back to the state after the fight today."

"Okay, I'll go get the gun now. Director, you go back to the agency first, I'll be there soon."

"it is good."

Li Xiangqian left, Li Long closed the door, and went to say something to Sister Yang.

"Then I won't keep you for lunch." Sister Yang said, "Can you come back to eat in the evening? I'll tell her aunt at noon..."

"Okay." Li Long nodded, went into the house to change into thick clothes, then put his gun on his back, put on his hat, pushed his bicycle out the door.

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Long went to Li Xiangqian's office and found that he had also put on a coat and a leather hat, and there was a double-barreled shotgun next to the table.

"Chief, this sand gun is not as easy to use as a rifle." Li Long told the truth.

"Look, this thing is good as long as it can be used for hunting. Maybe if I run into a group of gazelles, I can kill three or four with this shot. It's better than yours." Li Xiangqian believes that hunting requires a hunting rifle, and his hunting rifle is also a famous brand.

As for hunting with a rifle, he thought it was really unprofessional.

Well, in this kind of situation, each person has his own reasons.

Li Xiangqian wore his coat without buttons, mainly because it was relatively hot in the room. He sat down and asked Li Long specifically how many kilometers east of Kuitun there were yellow sheep.

Li Long said as he thought. Because after SW County, there are several uninhabited areas. There are definitely some in the section between Anjihai and Kuitun. In fact, there are also some in the east of Anjihai, so it depends on luck.

However, judging from the situation Li Long encountered at that time, he would definitely have encountered them in the past. After all, he encountered several groups of gazelles with one tractor in those sections, which shows that the population of gazelles is really large.

Then, the sound of a jeep was heard in the yard.

Hearing the noise, both men stood up and walked out with guns in hand.

Not only them, but Director Wei also came out.

This is the superior leader! (End of this chapter)
