Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

"I haven't received a saber." Li Long was thinking, but his expression didn't change. "To be honest, this set of horse harness was sold to me by several people. I put it together after they sold it to me. I don't know if it's correct. Those people didn't bring sabers, so I don't know if they had any."

"That's a pity." Ye Quanfeng didn't see any expression change on Li Long's face, and was a little disappointed. "Among the things you have here, I only like this set of horse harness.

If I'm not mistaken, this set of horse harness should be used by nomadic nobles. If you really check it out, it might be passed down in an orderly manner.

It's a pity that it's incomplete without the saber. If it had the matching saber, I could give you five thousand dollars for this set, but without the saber, I can only give you one thousand dollars."

"Forget it then." Li Long waved his hand and said, "It cost me eight hundred and sixty dollars to put these things together. I definitely won't sell them for one thousand yuan."

After he said that, Ye Quanfeng was also a little surprised. He looked at the set of inlaid gold harness carefully again, and then found that there was an engraved seal on the big part of the harness.

There really is a tradition.

He made a mistake - of course, it cannot be said that he made a mistake, because he came here with a purpose in itself, and he mentioned it under the pretext of the horse harness, and he did not look at the horse harness seriously.

This set of horse harness is quite interesting!

Looking at it this way, Ye Quanfeng really wanted to take the horse harness.

"Then tell me honestly, brother Li, how much do you want to pay for this set of horse harness?" Ye Quanfeng thought to himself that Li Long was also a coward, so how could he really reveal his cards?

"Ten thousand." Li Long said, "If it's ten thousand, you can take it."

"What? Ten thousand? You're so greedy!" Wen Chaozong outside couldn't help but say, "This thing isn't made entirely of pure gold. Are you asking for such a high price?"

"This set of things has an owner." Li Long said with a smile, "Although I don't know much, I also know that things with owners should be sold at a higher price. This thing itself is scattered parts, and I finally put it together. That's my luck.

I have such good luck. If I sell it at a lower price, God will never give me such good luck again."

Li Long always felt that he was lucky. He made a fortune with good luck, and led his team members to make money with good luck, and also made the life of Halimu and his small tribe better.

He has never used this good luck carelessly. If he were to sell it at a low price, he would feel sorry for himself.

Ye Quanfeng was stunned when he heard this. It was the first time he heard such a reason.

"Since Brother Li is so persistent, forget it. It means I have no affinity with these things." Ye Quanfeng is not a sucker. If he finds a bargain, he can pay for it. As a middleman, he is not buying it for collection. He thinks this thing is not worth ten thousand yuan.

After looking around again, I found that a deal was not made, and neither party had any regretful expressions. This is how business is. It doesn't mean that it has to be successful. After all, everyone's money is real money, especially when the price is high, so you have to be more cautious in how you spend it.

Ye Quanfeng and Wen Chaozong didn't buy anything, so Li Long detained them and wanted to treat them to a meal, but the two refused and left.

The business was not successful, and Li Long saw that it was almost twelve o'clock, so he said hello to Gu Boyuan and went back to the big yard. Sister Yang still had to cook, so he had to go and look after Mingming and Haohao.

After lunch, Mingming and Haohao went to sleep, Gu Xiaoxia and the others went to work, and after Li Long and Sister Yang finished their work, they drove the jeep to the fourth team.

Gu Xiaoxia and Gu Boyuan both knew about the melon seed picking incident, so they basically didn't ask what Li Long was doing.

Li Long drove his jeep to Xie Yundong's house, which was nearby.

Xie Yundong and his wife were pressing melon seeds in the yard. They had soaked most of the seeds last night, so today they were mainly pressing the soaked seeds flat.

"Brother Yundong, can you flatten it?" Li Long asked in the yard after getting off the jeep.

"Yes, it's very easy to press. It's easier to press than the fresh ones taken out from the melons." Xie Yundong said as he pressed them.

The tool for pressing the melon seeds is a large flat plate covered with a board. Two people pull an iron roller back and forth on it to press the seeds - this thing cannot be used as a tractor, mainly because it is too small.

Li Longxin said that if they did this, they would have to pave the yards of his own home and his eldest brother's home into cement floors before this autumn. After it was leveled, it would be convenient to press the melon seeds. They could just be placed on the ground with a board on top, without having to clamp them between two boards.

Li Long looked at several large iron wire sieves on the flower wall in the middle of the yard, all of which were filled with flattened melon seeds. A rough estimate was that there were two or three sacks of them.

It seems that the efficiency is quite good. We should be able to finish ten sacks in two or three days.

"Brother Yundong, you two are amazing. You've accomplished so much in just half a day." Li Long grabbed a handful of melon seeds and clenched them in his hand. He could feel that most of them were dried by the sun and should be completely dry by dark.

"Hehe, making money naturally gives you strength." Xie Yundong said with a smile, "This money is so easy to make, Xiaolong, you won't lose money, right?" "Don't worry, you won't lose money." Li Long waved his hand, "There is money to be made."

I got it from the state for two yuan a kilogram, so even if I sold it for two and a half yuan, I would still make a profit. The freight plus the money for flattening it would be less than two and a half yuan, which means that from these ten tons of pumpkin seeds, Li Long could conservatively make three thousand yuan.

He didn't want to make only 3,000 yuan - if the other party came and only gave him 2.5 yuan for the flattened melon seeds, then Li Long would not plan to cooperate with him in the future. It's boring.

After leaving Xie Yundong's house, Li Long went to Tao Daqiang's house.

Tao Daqiang, Tao Jianshe, and Yang Pingping were all working. Their family had more melon seeds flattened. Li Long saw that there were at least four sacks of them drying in the sun.

There is strength in numbers!
Tao Daqiang saw Li Long coming and stopped immediately, and went over to get Li Long some water. The child was playing with a rag doll at the door of the room, and it looked like it was handmade by someone in the countryside.

Li Long grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies from the jeep and brought them over to the child.

He bought this candy from a department store in Wucheng. Every child has one, and he also keeps some in his car to prepare for just such a situation.

"Hey, Brother Xiaolong, what kind of candy is this?" Yang Pingping followed Tao Daqiang and called Brother Xiaolong, asking, "It looks pretty."

"The milk candy is bought from Wucheng. It's very famous. It's produced in Lushang and tastes very good." Li Long explained and said, "You guys should hurry up. Can we finish this job by tomorrow?"

"Almost." Tao Jianshe stopped what he was doing and said with a smile, "This job went smoothly last year because we have so many people."

After saying that, he glanced at his granddaughter who was eating candy and sighed slightly, thinking how nice it would be if he had a grandson.

It’s a pity that the current policy does not allow it to be done immediately, otherwise, I would have to let my son try his best.

At this time, some people are still obsessed with having grandchildren.

After drinking water at Tao's house, Li Long visited a few other houses and had an idea in his mind.

At present, if we continue with the current model, we can process at least three tons a day, which is done by ten families working together. If we expand it to 20 families, we can process more than five tons - mainly because some families did not plant melons last year, do not have the right tools at home, and have never done this before, so they need to be skilled.

If this business is successful, we can expand it if we continue to do it. If we can produce 40 tons, we can finish it in less than ten days.

Of course, the premise is that the price can be raised, otherwise there is no need to do it. This thing is just icing on the cake for me, not as much as the money earned from selling dried mushrooms once. If it weren't for the task of the state cooperative, Li Long would not have planned to do this.

But there is still hope. If this channel can be opened up and the price is acceptable, then the team can continue to grow melons and harvest them themselves.

Li Long went to Li's house and chatted with his parents for a while, then listened to his eldest brother talk about the plan to recycle the melon seeds, and then returned to the county. He will come early tomorrow to collect the melon seeds with his eldest brother.

The next day, the collection of melon seeds went smoothly, and each household sent the seeds to us one after another. Because they were all acquaintances, they knew each other well and were reliable, so the quality was impeccable, otherwise it would be embarrassing. Some people even blew away the seeds after flattening them, blowing away the shrunken seeds.

Although the weight is a little lighter, the quality is better. Li Long took a handful and looked at it, and was very satisfied. After processing, the melon seeds were no worse than those he sold to the roasted seeds factory the year before last.

If the other party still insists on charging two dollars and fifty cents for the melon seeds, then forget it!
On the third day, all the melon seeds were crushed, and then Li Jianguo and his team drove a tractor to transport the melon seeds to the purchasing station.

The information Jia Tianlong provided was very accurate. The day after Li Long brought back the threshed melon seeds, Jia Tianlong accompanied the boss of the threshed melon seeds who rushed over from Kouli to Ma County.

Guests from afar are welcome. Li Long treated these three guests to dinner at Tuanfeng Tower - yes, in addition to Jia Tianlong, there were two other people who came to watch the melon seeds picking. Of course, these two people were from the same family, one host and one deputy, similar to Ye Quanfeng and Wen Chaozong who came to see the antiques before.

"Comrade Li is young and promising." The host among the guests was in his forties, almost fifty years old, thin, 1.7 meters tall and weighing only about 50 kilograms. He looked like a clothes rack, with thick hair and a big nose. Although he was thin, he spoke with full energy:

"When Xiao Jia told me this at first, I didn't quite believe it. But after meeting him, I could tell that Comrade Li is not an ordinary person!"

Li Long said modestly: "No, no, compared to Manager Dong and you guys, I am a junior and I have a lot to learn."

Everyone can say polite words.

This man is Dong Zhichao, 48 years old, and this year is his zodiac year. He is the deputy manager of the purchasing department of a large roasted nuts factory in Kouli. The girl in her twenties who came with him is Ye Lanlan, who is a buyer in the purchasing department.

This combination was a bit strange. Although Li Long had some other ideas, he didn't delve into it. He mainly wanted to see what these two would think of his melon seed beating. (End of this chapter)
