Chapter 67 Li Long's Worry When Li Long got home, he found that the yard was already busy. The people who came were not only those called by Li Jianguo, but also some people who came uninvited to help. There were no fewer people than the pig-killing banquet that day. There were also many children. Li Qiang had already begged Li Long to help him blow up the pig's bladder as soon as possible. Li Long naturally agreed without hesitation. Water was boiling in the stoves on both sides of the east and west rooms. Two wild boars were placed in the yard. Since Li Long had gutted them beforehand, all that was needed now was skinning, chopping the meat, and processing the internal organs. None of these people was slacking off, and they were very active in their work. If the work is done well, then you can eat meat openly and without shame. There are not many times in the year when you can eat meat happily. The last time the Li family processed the wild boar, everyone ate happily, so this time many people are full of hope. The whole yard is full of people talking and laughing, and it is very lively. Li Long found a pig bladder from the washing basin containing internal organs, blew air into it, tied it up and handed it to Li Qiang. Then he changed the water to warm water and poured it on the intestines on Wang Caimi's hands to clean the intestines. Wang Caimi's real name is Wang Dalu. He was called Wang Caimi because he is frugal and obsessed with money. "Xiaolong, don't be fooled by the fat, the most delicious part is the pig intestines. If they are fried well, the taste is so delicious!" Wang Caimi imparted his experience to Li Long while he was thinking: "And this stomach, you know the wild boar stomach, it's a medicinal herb..." "I know. The purchasing station charges three dollars a piece."
"Look, you brought back two wild boars, and the stomachs alone are worth six yuan! Six yuan is more than seventy full work points!" When talking about money, Wang Caimi's eyes lit up, "Isn't this better than farming?" Li Long thought that he would not say that in the future. Wang Caimi could drive a tractor, and as a tractor driver, he also had to count work points when he plowed and sowed for private individuals. After two years, when the team's property was completely divided, the tractor would belong to the Wang family. Wang Caimi could afford the team's tractor because he earned the money from farming and plowing for others. The reason why people say that farming does not make money is that there is no motivation to farm for the team. The two wild boars were not big, so it was quick to clean them up. In less than two hours, they were all done. At this time, the cabbage stewed with meat in the kitchen pot was almost cooked. Li Long called Li Jianguo aside and whispered to him that he could get the tickets from Xu Chengjun. "Do you want to buy a bicycle?" Li Jianguo asked in a low voice. Now the team leader Xu Chengjun is the only one who has a bicycle at home. He takes good care of it and never rides it in winter. "Well, it's too troublesome to walk back and forth to the county, especially in summer." "Is the money enough?" Li Jianguo asked. "That's enough," Li Long said with a smile, "We got some good stuff from the mountains this time." "Then next time you go back to the mountains, you must bring more things for them." "I know." "Then let's go and get the meat." The Li family is not short of meat now, and these things were brought back by Li Long, so Li Jianguo naturally had no objection. Knowing that people nowadays like fatty meat, Li Long cut more than ten kilograms of fat and a piece of wolf meat and took them to Xu Chengjun's house. "You're quite quick." Xu Chengjun was a little surprised. "This meat... is good." "Well, a sow weighing 60 to 70 kilograms should be a spring piglet." "Then I'll give you the ticket." Xu Chengjun was also very efficient. He took out the ticket from the drawer and handed it to Li Long. "You've made great progress. There aren't many of these two big items in our team." "Hehe, I'm lucky." Li Long took the ticket and looked at it carefully, feeling very happy. When I got home, I found that the tables on both sides were set up and people were already eating. This time the woman did not sit in the kitchen, but set up a table in the east room with the children.
As soon as Li Long came back, he was called to the west room and immediately became the center of everyone's discussion. "Xiaolong, are there many wild boars in this mountain?" "Not many." "Then you caught four wild boars twice, that's impressive!" "I have a few friends there." Li Long said with a smile, "They are herders who graze in the mountains. They know where the wild boars are." "Is that so?" He gave up the idea. These days, without anyone to show the way, he couldn't even pull back the wood, let alone hunt wild boars. "Xiaolong, I heard you brought back two wolves?" "Yeah. There was a lot of snow in the mountains, and the wolves had little to eat. When I went there, I happened to encounter a pack of wolves trying to catch my friend's sheep, so we fought together." "Is wolf meat delicious?" "I don't know, I've never eaten it. But I heard it tastes bad and bitter. My herder friend advised me not to eat it, but I'm just curious." Li Long had never eaten it in this life, nor in the previous life, but in the previous life, information was developed and he was able to find out that wolf meat was a traditional Chinese medicine that could replenish the body. He didn't say it here. After eating and chatting, the sun was setting by the time the feast was over. There were people cleaning up on both sides, and the people who helped took the leftovers home. Although the two pigs were not big, the meat was tender, and the children at home would definitely like to eat them. Li Long also cut a piece of meat for Tao Daqiang and took it back, and told him to come early tomorrow morning. The two of them went to Shicheng to sell fish. "Why don't you sell some pork too?" Liang Yuemei said, "We can't finish four pigs." "If we can't finish it, we won't sell it. We'll send half of it to Juan's grandfather's house." Li Long rejected the idea without waiting for Li Jianguo to speak. "We can't make much money from selling it. We can only sell it for a few dozen yuan. It's better to let the family eat it." Li Long remembered that Juan's grandfather's family often subsidized the Li family by bringing sheep and guard dogs. Li Juan and Li Qiang often stayed at the Liang family's house during the holidays. In his previous life, Li Long felt that this affection was what he should do, but when he thought about it, he realized how precious it was in this era. That must be compensated. "Yes, that's it." Li Jianguo naturally agreed. Although Liang Yuemei's suggestion was rejected, she still had a smile on her face. "Oh, Xiaolong, go sell fish tomorrow, and come back to the post office to send some money to dad. I'll pay for it, fifty bucks. The situation back home isn't as good as here, so I'm afraid dad and mom won't have a good time this year." Not only is life difficult, you may not even be able to eat meat. Li Jianguo had money in his hands, so he naturally wanted his parents to live a better life. He was the eldest brother and the head of the family, so it was natural for him to pay for it. Liang Yuemei naturally had no objection to this. The family had extra money, and she knew very well where the money came from. And since Li Long was so good to the Liang family, she naturally couldn't stop the two brothers from fulfilling their filial piety. But what the couple didn’t expect was that Li Long really had some objections! "Brother, you can't send that much!" Li Long flatly refused, "If you send so much money, something bad will happen!" Li Jianguo was a little surprised. He would never think that Li Long didn't send money because he was unfilial. After all, his brother had changed so much during this period of time. He knew to give more meat to the Liang family and naturally would not treat his own parents badly. So, what is he worried about? Thanks to book friend DoDoCrane for the reward! The data is relatively stable, thanks to everyone’s support, thank you again?
