Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Li Long had never expected that selling dried wild mushrooms would almost lead to a spy war drama. Fortunately, as the owner of the resources, he was in full control, and both Huang Lei and Liu Xinjun were polite to him.

He also tended to do business with Huang Lei because, firstly, he offered a high price and secondly, he was sincere. Unlike Liu Xinjun, he did not offer a reasonable price when he first came and also had a bad record.

The two houses, which weighed a total of 700 to 800 kilograms of wild mushrooms, were sold for more than 20,000 yuan, which was a pleasant surprise.

Liu Xinjun never came back after he left, and Li Long guessed that he might not have the face to come. Before Huang Lei left, he said he would come back in two or three days, but Li Long told him not to be so anxious. Although it is the season when black tiger palm mushrooms begin to grow, the main thing we collect now is old stuff, which is only 20 to 30 kilograms a day. It is not worth coming too often.

After the two men left, the purchasing station continued to be bustling - because there were so many people here, and many people from other places came, it gradually became like a small market.

There were people selling melon seeds, naan, and steamed buns - these outsiders came here early by bus in order to get there early, and some of them really hadn't eaten.

Although tea and water were always provided in the purchasing station, there was no food. Some hungry people actually went out to buy food after seeing the people queuing.

Li Long and his team would not prohibit it, as they were mutually beneficial. They couldn't just provide food for the purchase station, right? They couldn't just stop these people from eating here, right?
It’s actually quite good and has increased its popularity.

Li Long also stayed at the purchasing station in the afternoon. Helping was secondary for him. He mainly wanted to see what the outsiders who came here recently were selling.

Occasionally, some people would bring Fritillaria to sell. These were previously dug and left at home but never sold. Now is the off-season, and I heard that the price here is high, so I took a bus to come here to sell.

The prices are indeed higher, and people who come here to sell things basically have smiles on their faces - but before coming here to sell things, most people are nervous.

But when they left, everyone had a smile on their face, and the prices were basically beyond expectations.

The middlemen who come here frequently, whether local or from other places, are in a good mood. They can even roughly calculate how much their items can be sold for.

With transparent prices, cash payment, unified standards, and good service attitude, such a purchasing station has established a good reputation.

Li Long had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he walked around and left. It was better to stay here than to play with the two children at home. Haohao was starting to become naughty, or rather, not naughty, but active. He wanted to run around in the yard. Because he was not walking steadily, he would stumble from time to time, but he didn't cry. He was very tough and stood up to continue.

The lambs in the yard have grown up. Li Long was worried at first that the goats would hurt the children seriously, but he didn't expect that the two little goats were quite careful. Although they still jumped and played with Mingming and Haohao, they didn't use much strength when they pushed people.

At this time, Haohao was clearly able to say "Mom and Dad". Although he could only say these two words, it was enough to make Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia excited.

Han Fang was also very excited. Every day after school, she would tease Mingming and Haohao, hoping that they could say "sister". However, at the moment, the results are not very obvious.

Han Fang was not discouraged. She was happy to play with her children every day.

After breakfast the next day, Li Long and others handed Mingming and Haohao to Sister Yang, and then drove a jeep to the purchasing station.

There were morels and black tiger paw mushrooms collected in the yard of the purchasing station. Li Long took some of each, packed them into two bags, put them in the jeep, and drove away.

Gu Boyuan and Sun Jiaqiang have long been accustomed to Li Long's elusiveness. They are only responsible for collecting things, and Li Long is still the one who sells things.

As for how Li Long found those sales channels, they had no idea.

Li Long drove to Beiting City and went to find Chen Hongjun when he arrived there.

The dried mushrooms can be sold thanks to Chen Hongjun and Qi Zhiguo. Judging from the current situation, Huang Lei is likely to become a long-term partner like Jia Tianlong and Zhao Hui, which is very important to Li Long.

Jia Tianlong collects medicinal materials, Zhao Hui collects skins, and Huang Lei collects dried mushrooms. They basically take over all the major items that Li Long's purchasing station collects.

All the other small items combined are not as numerous as these three.

Of course, Li Long also knew that by asking these three people to collect things, he got the upper hand and the other party also made money, which was a win-win situation.

So the middleman is very important - Chen Hongjun really did it for his own good in the beginning.

Need to thank.

Since moving, Chen Hongjun has been in a much better mood and his emotions have changed. He is no longer so depressed at work and can occasionally interact with his colleagues and make jokes.

Everyone said he had changed.

Chen Hongjun himself also felt like he was a little younger - living in a large courtyard, although cleaning was more troublesome than before, it was more spacious, with its own door and yard, and he wouldn't be disturbed by others, which was very convenient.

Occasionally, I can invite close colleagues and friends to my home, and I won’t be disturbed or peeped at by other people in the family compound with ulterior motives, so I live a much more comfortable life.

Even his wife said that although the vegetable patch in the yard is not big, it saves a lot of money - at least most of the fresh vegetables are harvested now, and they can go to the vegetable patch in the morning to pick some vegetables for cooking, saving time and money on buying vegetables. How great.

My son was looking at the grape vine, hoping that the grapes would grow and ripen every day, and he said that he would invite his friends to eat them when the time comes.

My mother is even happier. She no longer has to compete with others for the wire rack for washing and drying clothes. Going to the toilet is a bit troublesome for the elderly. Now that they have their own toilet at home, when the children are in school and the son and daughter-in-law are at work, they can go to the toilet as long as they want without having to be embarrassed and rushed in a public toilet.

There were suddenly a lot fewer troubles at home, and everyone seemed to be in a much brighter mood, so Chen Hongjun naturally smiled more often.

Qi Zhiguo and others saw his changes and were very envious.

They naturally knew where this change came from, and each of them was hoping to receive similar treatment.

Li Long found Chen Hongjun and told him the situation. His main intention was to invite Chen Hongjun and Qi Zhiguo to have lunch at noon to thank them.

Chen Hongjun agreed and said to Li Long:
"Over there, there's a state-owned canteen less than fifty meters east of our unit. You can just wait there when you get off work. I'll bring Xiao Qi over there - it's close to my home, so it'll be convenient for me to go back and tell my family."

"Okay." Li Long agreed. It was not convenient for him to give these things directly to Chen Hongjun, so he thought of giving them together during lunch.

When Chen Hongjun returned to the office, someone immediately asked him:

"Old Chen, is it that young man from the state supply and marketing cooperative who came to see you? This young man is quite energetic. Is he dating someone?"

The person who was speaking was a woman in her thirties. Nowadays, women in the workplace like to introduce people to potential partners. According to Chen Hongjun's introduction, Li Long was an employee of the state supply and marketing cooperative.

"My brother-in-law's younger brother works at the state supply and marketing cooperative. I asked him about it, but he didn't hear about a person named Li Long at the state supply and marketing cooperative?" Another young man in the office who didn't get along well with Chen Hongjun asked back, "Could he be a liar? Old Chen, you better be careful."

It seems to be a well-intentioned reminder, but in fact it is questioning the authenticity of what Chen Hongjun said.

"Swindler?" Before Chen Hongjun could say anything, the older sister spoke up, "Why don't you get a 212 and come over to have a look? Can anyone drive that car?

My neighbor's best friend's lover is from the vehicle management office, and the license plate is from the supply and marketing cooperative. Do you know who the license plate was originally registered to?"

"Who?" asked the young man. He didn't believe that Li Long could have much of a relationship.

"He was originally registered in the deputy director's office of the state supply and marketing cooperative. Now, the deputy director has been promoted to director!" the elder sister said proudly, "Do you understand? This young man is related to Director Qian of the state supply and marketing cooperative. How can he drive around in his car? "

After saying that, he ignored the young man and asked Lao Chen again:

"Old Chen, how is it? Does this young man have a girlfriend? My sister's cousin works in a bank, but she doesn't have a girlfriend yet. She's pretty, so she asked me to introduce her to someone. What do you think..." "Li Long is already married, and he has two children." Chen Hongjun shook his head, "You can't guarantee this matchmaking."

"Alas, this outstanding young man has already decided on his life partner so early." The elder sister sighed, "Then I'll wait and see."

"Sister Sun, what do you think of me?" The young man who had just suspected that Li Long was a liar immediately asked with a smile, "Am I also an excellent young person?"

"Excellent? What's your education background?" Sister Sun sneered. "How much savings do you have? You don't even have a bicycle now. Have you gone to night school? You've been idle all day. If I introduce you to my sister, I'll scold you to death!"

Nowadays, blind dates also depend on conditions. The hardware and ambition of the person are important.

If you don't have good hardware conditions, you can work hard to improve yourself. Like this young man in the unit, although he has a good job, he has no ambition and likes gossip like a woman every day. Sister Sun really looks down on him.

When the war spread to other places, Chen Hongjun smiled, finished the work at hand, and went out to find Qi Zhiguo.

I have to tell Xiao Qi the good news first, he is already very anxious.

Li Long walked around Beiting City twice. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he went to the state-owned canteen, took a seat, ordered braised pork and braised fish, and asked the chef to prepare them first - the chef here is called the chef.

Braised pork and braised fish will take longer to cook. Li Long meant to cook them now so that they will be almost ready when Chen Hongjun and the others get off work, so there is no need to wait.

After all, they still have to work in the afternoon, so they would save as much time as possible.

It was time to get off work, and more people were outside, some walking and some riding bicycles. There were two or three people in the cafeteria when Li Long first came in. After all, it was not time for lunch yet, so people kept coming in, but they basically ordered a portion of noodles or rice and a dish, and left after eating.

Li Long waited for a while, and a young man came in first. After entering the door, he looked around, and when he saw Li Long, his face lit up and he strode towards him.

Li Long also felt that this person looked familiar - he should have seen him before when the purchasing station in Ma County was still open.

Li Long, who was older than himself, stood up and said with a smile:

"Qi Zhiguo, right? Hello, I'm Li Long."

"Hey! Comrade Li, hello!" Qi Zhiguo smiled, held Li Long's hand tightly with both hands and shook it vigorously, saying: "I'm so happy to see you."

Just now when Chen Hongjun found him and said that Li Long was here and wanted to invite them to dinner, Qi Zhiguo was so happy.

When Huang Lei called earlier, Qi Zhiguo introduced the situation on Li Long's side. Huang Lei said that he could give it a try, but his tone didn't sound very good at the time.

Qi Zhiguo thought Huang Lei was no longer interested, but he didn't know it at the time. Huang Lei hadn't sold the jade yet, and after hitting a wall in southern Xinjiang, he had become a little discouraged - after all, even if the person Qi Zhiguo introduced had the goods, he had no money to buy it.

Qi Zhiguo had been waiting for so many days, and now Li Long had finally come. Although Huang Lei hadn't called yet, Li Long's coming probably meant that things were going well.

That's why he was so happy.

"Brother Chen, ride your bike back and tell your family, I'll be here soon." Qi Zhiguo sat down and explained, then asked impatiently, "Comrade Li, how is Comrade Huang doing now that he's with you?"

"It's good. He bought several hundred kilograms of dried mushrooms from me." Li Long said, "We have established a long-term cooperative relationship, and you have made a great contribution to this."

"Hehehe, that's good, that's good." Qi Zhiguo was still a little embarrassed, "I didn't think there was anything good about purchasing stations before, but now that the state-owned ones are closed, it's pretty impressive that you can open one privately."

"Haha, it's also good luck." Li Long said with a smile, "It's also thanks to your help, otherwise it would be troublesome to collect too many things and not be able to sell them. I remember I met you when I was selling Fritillaria two years ago. Now people who come to our place to sell things are still talking about you back then..."

When talking about the purchasing station, they had a common topic and started chatting. When Chen Hongjun came over, the braised fish had already been served.

"Hey, you guys had a good chat." Chen Hongjun said with a smile, "Xiao Qi, there's no need to rush this time."

"Hehehe." Qi Zhiguo smiled innocently.

After Li Long and Chen Hongjun sat down, he took out two envelopes and gave them to the two people. After the two people took them, he said:

"It was a pleasure to cooperate with Comrade Huang on the purchase of dried mushrooms. To be honest, thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know where to deal with the hundreds of kilograms of dried mushrooms."

I don't know if it's impossible, but it won't be so smooth. After all, it's several hundred kilograms, and Zhong Guoqiang can only consume some of it, but it's definitely not much.

If I were to sell them individually, I really don't know when they would be sold out.

In fact, through Jia Tianlong, Li Long knew that some agricultural and sideline products in northern Xinjiang had a large market in China, but they needed distributors. It was impossible for him to drive a truckload of goods over to sell them by himself.

As long as you find the right dealer, there are still many things you can sell.

Qi Zhiguo was so excited holding the thick envelope.

It’s just as Brother Chen said, you can get so much money just by introducing it!

This Li Long is really amazing!

Chen Hongjun pushed the envelope back:

"Xiao Li, I took it once and I won't take it again. This time, thanks to Xiao Qi, I'm just passing on a message..."

"That's different," Li Long pushed the envelope back again. "How could Comrade Qi introduce Comrade Huang to me if he didn't consider your face? You take it. I made a lot of money on this trip, thanks to you guys."

The money Li Long gave this time was less than what Fritillaria gave last time. This money was a timely help to Qi Zhiguo, and even for Chen Hongjun it was icing on the cake.

The money was earned honestly, so it wasn't expensive.

The braised pork was also served, and Li Long ordered a spicy chicken and asked for rice.

We didn't drink at noon, so we just ate. The three of us had big appetites, so we ordered three large portions of food, but there was nothing left at the end.

After finishing his meal, Qi Zhiguo was anxious to go back. He felt embarrassed in front of Li Long, so he planned to go back as soon as possible to count how much money he had.

Anyway, it seems to be more than imagined.

Chen Hongjun pushed his bicycle and walked with Li Long for a while, mainly to explain to him that there might not be many people he could introduce to Li Long later.

Fortunately, Li Long feels that the current situation is pretty good. The purchasing station does not have many groceries that have not been sold yet. He plans to take some time to run around the area to see if there are any sales opportunities.

It doesn’t matter if they can’t be sold for the time being. The profits from the three big items, medicine, leather and dried mushrooms, have already covered those small categories.

And there are many more! (End of this chapter)
