Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

In fact, it’s not that Li Long really forgot, he was just too busy during this period and didn’t have time to think about it.

When Xie Youcai was taken to the cave, it was troublesome to carry those things, so he hid them in the bushes, and there was no time to look for them later.

Now that everything was done, Li Long went to the supply and marketing cooperative twice. Li Xiangqian didn't say any new news, so he had time to go and get it.

The biggest gain was the several hundred silver dollars in the black bag - but for Li Long, the most attractive thing was the saber inlaid with gems and with gold on the handle.

This must be a famous sword. At least after all these years, there is no rust on the blade and it still feels very sharp. It has obviously seen blood. Why do we have to keep it?
He didn't ask Li Xiangqian, but he had actually thought about it in his heart.

Do you think the higher-ups will suspect that Li Long secretly took something and then reported it?

There are bound to be people who doubt it - that's human nature. There are quite a few people who know what happened - more than ten.

Of course, only a few leaders knew the details, and Li Xiangqian told Li Long about it. The higher-ups also issued an order that this matter must be kept strictly confidential and not be spread outside. If the news leaked out in society, it would be severely investigated and dealt with.

This is also protecting Li Long.

Of course, during the meeting, some leaders might suspect that Li Long had something private. Li Xiangqian didn't say anything, so Li Long had no problem.

He would never do anything to hide his true intention.

In fact, we can probably guess that someone will definitely bring it up, but it will definitely be suppressed by the leader.

The largest amount of gold remained unchanged, and the approximate positions of the boxes in the stone hall remained unchanged. The most Li Long could take was some silver dollars.

He didn't even move his gun, which meant that there was nothing wrong with Li Longda.

So the matter has been exposed. No one is perfect and society is not dualistic. It is not either good or bad. Even Xie Erman did such a bad thing and ambushed and killed a deputy division commander, but he was let off for the sake of the overall situation. What's more, it is just speculation at this time?

So Li Long has had a peaceful life recently, and then he had the opportunity to go to the mountains to get his things back.

The total amount of silver dollars brought back by the black bag and Li Long's backpack was less than six hundred yuan.

There were more than 300 yuan in the black bag, less than 10 kilograms, and more than 200 yuan in the backpack. There were also a few gold jewelry found from Xie Youcai. He didn't know which of these silver coins would be valuable in the future and which were common goods, so he simply put them all in the cellar.

There was a lot of charcoal in the cellar to absorb moisture and prevent rust. There were not only the silver dollars brought back this time, but also the old things brought back from the forestry team's garrison point and the old items collected from the purchasing station.

The cellar of about ten square meters is already full, and Li Long is considering whether to dig another cellar.

After all, the purchasing station has collected a lot of old things during this period, with only money coming in and no money going out. Although the funds involved are not much, there are too many things.

He didn't put the saber in the cellar, but took it back, wiped it, and put it in the east room of the master bedroom of the main house. There is a secret compartment under the bed here, and the jade seed material he brought back at the beginning and the gold plate he brought back from the mountain are all placed here.

There is also some cash, which is Li Long’s small treasury.

He had a lot of money, so he kept it in different places. It's no big deal to put all your eggs in one basket or to have a cunning rabbit have three burrows. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to keep more money.

When Li Long was riding horses with Mingming and Haohao in the yard, Zhou Yuan came over.

It was Li Xiangqian who came to find him again.

"I heard that there has been some progress at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. You should be able to install a telephone here in a while. With a telephone installed, I won't have to run here every day." Zhou Yuan said with a smile, "How about it? Do you want to install it?"

"Of course I have." Li Long nodded immediately. In his previous life, his family had installed a telephone at the end of this century. At that time, the initial installation fee for a phone was 4,000 yuan, and the phone bill was not cheap.

However, there is a lot of information on the Internet. He knows that the deployment of programmable telephones in Northern Xinjiang began in 1986. Naturally, the first to change were public institutions. After those public institutions were changed, private individuals were also able to install telephones - of course, money had to be paid, and it seemed that it was four thousand yuan at the beginning.

For ordinary people in this era, it is really impossible to spend 4,000 yuan, almost the money for a small four-wheeled vehicle, to install a useless phone.

But for Li Long, it is very necessary. Whether it is to contact the team or to contact Jia Tianlong and Zhao Hui, it is much more convenient to use the phone.

Seeing Zhou Yuan riding a bicycle, Li Long did not drive the jeep, and they rode their bicycles out together.

Sister Yang was washing clothes with a washing machine in the yard, and watching Mingming and Haohao at the same time. After buying a washing machine for her sister-in-law, Li Long brought back another washing machine from Shicheng not long after, and he also wanted to use it at home.

After all, there are many houses in the big yard and a lot of bedding. Whether you want to live in them or not, just wash them first.

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and parked his bicycle and walked in, people greeted Li Long from time to time, and Li Long responded with a smile.

He was considered a young man in front of these people, so he couldn't be too arrogant. How many young and frivolous people are so glorious when they are successful, but they quickly fall down and can't get up again when they are frustrated. Why? Isn't it because they are too frivolous in normal times?

After two lives, although Li Long is young in body now, he no longer has the mind of a young and frivolous person.

After entering the director's office, Li Xiangqian pointed to the sofa and asked him to sit down, while he was writing something on a document. After two minutes, he finished, called Zhou Yuan, who was waiting with water, over, and handed the document to him to handle.

"The matter has basically been determined." Li Xiangqian said to Li Long, "The police have sent people to find Xie Youcai's father, mainly to investigate the course of the incident and see if it is the same as what you said.

Of course, no matter what, if someone dies, the family must be notified. Of course, the leader also said that you have made a great contribution in this matter and we must protect you. When we notify them, the part involving you will be hidden, so you can rest assured. "

Li Long laughed when he heard this. Not bad, not bad. At least he wasn't worried anymore.

"The top two leaders in the county have also issued instructions that those who know about this matter in various units must keep their mouths shut and the details of this matter cannot be leaked. The report sent to the state is in the form of a confidential document, so don't worry, basically, except for the main leaders who know about you, everyone else only knows about it in general and will not tell anyone about you."

Li Long knew that this must have been due to Li Xiangqian's efforts. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Director."

"What are you thanking me for? I deserve some credit." Li Xiangqian also said with a smile, "After all, we are all family, so let's not be polite."

After finishing speaking, he took out a document in a serious tone:
"By the way, the People's Congress has sent a document to re-elect you as a county representative. The day after tomorrow, you will attend the meeting of the county people's congress. Because you were selected for special merit, it will not be a county-wide meeting, but after the meeting, you will attend and express your position."

Although he didn't like being constrained by the organization, this matter obviously had more advantages than disadvantages, so Li Long would definitely agree to it.

"Oh, by the way, the leader has said that you are so outstanding and have such a firm belief, so why are you just a youth? So, I hope you can take the initiative to write an application..."

Li Long subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words of refusal came to his lips, he didn't say them.

Just now Li Xiangqian said that he wanted to be a representative. For no reason, Li Long felt a sense of pressure and responsibility on his shoulders.

Since you are a representative, you must speak on behalf of everyone, right? Since you represent everyone, don’t you really have to do something practical?

One way is to come up with a few proposals, create a few ways to make money, and let everyone get rich.

Can the history of the four teams be changed?
After all, in Li Long's opinion, Team 4 is already very good compared to some villages in other places, but there are still some imperfections.

It was okay at the beginning, but when you can make a fortune by growing cotton, some things are no longer under human control. Who can be without selfish desires?
If I write an application and join the organization, can I join the village committee and influence the changes in the village to prevent certain people from going too far in certain aspects?

People change. Who could have known that those who seemed to be mostly public-spirited at this time would become so greedy later on?

And it is so subtle that it makes it difficult for people to oppose it even if they want to.

Of course, Li Long could have taken advantage of it, but it would have been better for him to directly participate in the village committee. It was really amazing. To be honest, Li Long definitely had no such idea before. At most, he would have grabbed some of the opportunities himself or mentioned some people in advance.

But now that Li Xiangqian said he wanted to be a representative, he immediately thought about going a step further and preventing some possible things from happening.

After chatting with Li Xiangqian for a few more sentences and asking about the specific things to note when attending meetings in the past, Li Long went back to write an application.

Li Xiangqian meant to write an application and submit it to the supply and marketing cooperative. Li Long also told him his plan, which was to join the organization at the supply and marketing cooperative and then transfer his organizational relationship back to the village.

"Director, you will definitely be promoted in the future. When that time comes, I will no longer have you as my backer, so I might as well go back to the Fourth Squad." Li Long knew that Li Xiangqian was reluctant, so he explained seriously, "Both of your former directors, Mou, and Director Qian, were very good to me. I am very grateful.

But after all, no one can predict what the next leader will say. If you get promoted and someone else is parachuted in, they may not be happy with me.”

Li Xiangqian knew that he was telling the truth, so he didn't force it. He smiled and said, "Then when I am transferred, I will transfer your organizational relationship with you."

Neither of them felt that this was a hurdle. Given the current situation, it would be easy for Li Long to pass the test once he joined the organization with the labels he was currently wearing.

After returning from the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Long wanted to go to the purchasing station to take a look, and then he saw Huang Lei waiting at the door of the purchasing station.

Huang Lei is no longer the same as he was when Li Long first met him. At that time, although he knew that Li Long had good dried mushrooms, he looked a bit decadent in both his appearance and expression.

Now he is full of vigor and high spirits. He is still wearing the same clothes, but his spirit is obviously different.

Huang Lei was chatting with a mushroom seller when he heard the sound of a bicycle. He turned around and saw Li Long. He immediately said something to him and then hurried over to meet him.

"Comrade Li, you're back? I just went to your big courtyard, and the older sister said you weren't there, saying you were in a meeting. I thought you would definitely come here after the meeting, and sure enough, I waited for you."

"Let's go and talk in the back." Li Long pushed his bicycle to the edge of the yard and pulled Huang Lei to the backyard.

"This time there are more dried mushrooms than last time," Li Long said. "There are fewer morels than black tiger mushrooms. It's the season now. Do you understand?"

"I see." Huang Lei said with a smile, "I came here to check the information. There are very few morels in your Tianshan Mountains that can grow until June, and there are no more in the plains by the end of May. But it's a good thing that the black tiger's paw mushroom can continue..."

Li Long took Huang Lei to check the recycled mushrooms. During this period, the man named Liu Xinjun did not come again, and Li Long did not mention this person at this time. The dried mushrooms in the warehouse were as beautiful as ever. Huang Lei sighed and said:
"I have also traveled to several places to collect mushrooms recently, and the farthest I have been is Yili and Tacheng. To be honest, the quality of the morels here is the best."

Li Long has heard a lot of nice words, and he is almost immune to them. He could only laugh and think to himself, since you are not raising the price, I will just listen to what you say and let it go.

The reason why there are more dried mushrooms this time is mainly because a batch of them were brought back from the forestry team’s garrison, and the price is very low, which can be considered a friendly price.

It's just that the dried mushrooms collected were of a mixed variety. Sun Jiaqiang had worked overtime these days, and Li Long also went over to clean and sort the dried mushrooms when he had nothing to do. Otherwise, the scene Huang Lei would not be seeing now is this.

"The total weight of morels and black tiger mushrooms is nearly 800 kilograms." Li Long said, "If you don't have a car, it's really not easy to transport them away. And you have to be careful when transporting the dried mushrooms. If too many of them are broken, the loss will be huge."

Huang Lei didn't expect that after not coming for a few days, Li Long had so many dried mushrooms that he was in a dilemma.

“It’s not easy to get a car.”

"I'll take you to the transport company. They can also take private jobs." Li Long said, "There are trucks over there. Do you want to try?"

Now that the economy is revitalized, the county transport company not only does public work, but also uses idle vehicles to do some private work. Huang Lei's dried mushrooms need to be transported to Wucheng. If he hurrys up, he can go there and come back today. As long as the freight is higher, he will definitely be able to provide a vehicle.

"Okay, thank you so much." Huang Lei could actually find a transportation company, but everyone values ​​personal connections, and it is always better to have someone introduce you than to go in on your own.

Li Long locked the door and took Huang Lei to the transportation company on his bike.

Li Long was more familiar with the transportation company, and he brought his people over to talk about hiring a car. It just so happened that there was an idle car here, so they hit it off immediately and sent the car to the purchasing station.

The car drove into the backyard of the purchasing station. Li Long brought over the scale, and he and Huang Lei did the grading, weighing and accounting together.

He did this to others the first two days, and now it's his turn.

Neither of them argued, because they were both experts. Huang Lei couldn't classify the good dried mushrooms as low-quality, and Li Long certainly had the confidence that most of the dried mushrooms they sorted and processed were of high quality.

In the end, Huang Lei had to pay Li Long 23,264.80 yuan.

Huang Lei was also very generous. He had a black bag with quite a bit of money in it. He took out stacks of money and paid them to Li Long, looking very generous.

Li Long thought about the last time when the other party could only buy half of the mushrooms. Now, although it’s not a world of difference, it’s at least a big difference.

Not the same.

Huang Lei was naturally very happy. When he was doing the math just now, he had basically determined that, excluding the transportation costs of the carriage and the losses in between, he could make at least 5,000 yuan just by shipping this batch of dried mushrooms back to the mainland!

That’s a lot!

Of course, Li Long could earn more. He just talked to the mushroom sellers, and the dried wild mushrooms they sold were about ten yuan per kilogram, and the fresh ones were even cheaper, about two or three yuan per kilogram.

But those people selling mushrooms are quite happy. A kilogram of wild mushrooms is more expensive than a kilogram of meat. They are easy to pick in the mountains and can be sold right after picking. How great!
He estimated that Li Long could make at least 10,000 yuan from this deal, which was almost a half-and-half profit.

He is still very envious, but Huang Lei knows that this is the money they deserve to earn - local merchants sometimes have advantages over traveling merchants.

Just take what you need, don't think too much.

Each bag of dried mushrooms is very light, but there are so many bags that the truck bed is almost flat.

Li Long originally wanted to treat Huang Lei to lunch before leaving, but Huang Lei was worried about the trouble of leaving the car with all the goods exposed, so he just took the car and left, saying that they would eat halfway.

Li Long didn't force it. Looking at the empty warehouse, he felt very emotional.

I am nature's porter - but I can make some money every time I move something, which is not bad.

Some of the dried mushrooms in the yard had already dried, so Li Long went to collect them. Then he cut off the roots of the fresh mushrooms that were covered with dirt and dried them again.

One of the main reasons why his dried mushrooms can be sold at such a high price is that they are clean and of good quality. The mushrooms from the mountains, which are bought by middlemen, are mostly covered with dirt and roots, which is not only heavy, but also saves time and labor.

After the purchasing station collects these mushrooms, they must undergo secondary processing and cut off the roots with soil, which will result in some loss of weight.

This is not enough, the items still need to be sorted by size, and sorting is an important and tedious task.

Li Long only did a small part of it, and most of it was done by Sun Jiaqiang. He mainly helped Gu Boyuan collect during the day, and did these odd jobs after dinner at night. Now that the days were long, there was plenty of time to deal with it, and Sun Jiaqiang also understood why he had such a high bonus, wasn't it because he did more work?
It's considered overtime pay.

What Li Long didn't expect was that Jia Tianlong came in the afternoon after he sent Huang Lei away in the morning and brought him very good news.

Boss Jia actually contacted the person who bought melon seeds through oral communication, and the quantity that person wanted was very large!

As long as Li Long has something suitable, they will continue to receive it! (End of this chapter)
