Chapter 48 Is this repaying evil with kindness? Chen Hongjun was warming himself by the fire and was a little surprised to see Li Long come in. "Comrade, it's you!" Chen Hongjun recognized Li Long and stood up with a smile. "I haven't seen you for a few days. What good things did you bring today?" When they were handing over their shift, they heard their colleague Xu Lili say that there was a man from the mountains selling deer antlers. She originally wanted to buy them at a low price, but unexpectedly the man knew the value of the goods and would not sell them at a low price. She had no choice but to raise the price to three yuan. At that time, Chen Hongjun guessed that it was most likely Li Long. But I didn’t expect that this young man didn’t sell the antlers according to his shift time. Was it because he was short of time or because he didn’t have a good enough relationship with him? "Hello." Li Long smiled and said, "I wonder if you will accept the things I brought today." "Let's see." Chen Hongjun naturally couldn't make any guarantees. Li Long placed the jade he got from Yushanjiang on the counter. "Stone?" Chen Hongjun frowned, took a closer look, and then asked in surprise: "You are... Mahe Jade?" "Yes, it's seed material." Li Long smiled. At least he knew what it was. If he really thought it was a stone, he would just pick it up and leave. "This... we really don't accept it here." Chen Hongjun shook his head, "We accept local products and medicinal herbs. This jade is a good thing, but we don't accept it here."
"Then do you know where to buy it?" Li Long was a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged. Good things like this only become more valuable as they are stored. If he didn't need to buy something right now due to lack of money, he would just put the things at home and take them out after 20 or 30 years. "This... is usually collected by places that process handicrafts." Chen Hongjun reminded, "Our county is small, there is no such unit, and Shicheng may not even have one. If you want to find one, you can only go to Wucheng." Li Long bowed to the other party: "Thank you! I won't bother you anymore. Bye!" "Okay, if you have other medicinal herbs like deer antlers, you can bring them here. I won't give you a low price." Li Long suddenly thought of the things in his car and what he had seen in novels before, and asked: "Does the wild boar have a tummy?" This is also a medicinal herb, and it is said to be very good for treating stomach problems. "Take it." Chen Hongjun was a little surprised, but thinking about the deer antlers Li Long brought last time, he guessed that the other party was most likely living near the mountain, and said with a smile: "For sale. It depends on the size and the year of the wild boar. Usually three or five dollars a piece. Do you have it with you now? Let me see it?" Li Long was a little disappointed. It seemed that these things still couldn't be sold for a lot of money. He pointed outside and said: "There are two wild boars whose bellies have not been emptied yet. It will take two days until I go back and clean up the pigs." "What?" Chen Hongjun was a little surprised. "You got two wild boars? Is that true?" He collects things every day, but all he receives are finished products. He has seen many deer antlers and velvet antlers, but has rarely seen red deer, let alone wild boars. "Let's see?" Li Long smiled. This time, it was his turn to teach others something new. Chen Hongjun followed Li Long out. Li Long took down the wood and grass covering the wild boar. Chen Hongjun walked over curiously and immediately fell in love with the fangs in the wild boar's mouth. "This wild boar is so big!" He had seen domestic pigs before, and this wild boar was really big in comparison. "Well, it took three shots to kill him. He was very fierce." "Will you sell this wild boar? I want to buy some wild boar meat to try." Chen Hongjun asked on a whim. "It's not processed yet, so we can't sell it." Li Long waved his hand, "I can't just cut a piece and sell it to you, right? Besides, if the wild boar is not processed properly, it won't taste good. To be honest, Comrade Chen, this meat is really not as delicious as pork."
We will have frequent dealings in the future, so Li Long will not cheat this person. "Is that so." Chen Hongjun was a little disappointed, but his curiosity outweighed his appetite, so he said: "Go home and finish making it, then bring me a whole piece so I can try it. I've never eaten it before, and I want to give it a try." "Okay." Li Long agreed readily. "I'll bring it over in two days. You work on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, right?" "Yes, yes, don't forget to bring the wild boar stomach when the time comes." "Okay." Li Long covered the wood and grass, tied the rope, led the horse and left. At this time, the Li family was in chaos. Because the eldest sister-in-law of the Lu family came to the Li family and told Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei that there was a rumor in the village that Tao Dayong and Tao Daqiang had been arrested. There were also rumors that Li Long was also arrested for selling things on the black market. This scared Li Jianguo and Liang Yuemei! The whole village knew that Gu Ermao had been arrested, but the news of Tao Dayong's arrest had just spread and many people still didn't know about it. When Tao Daqiang returned home, the county had already called the township, and then transferred the call to the team. Xu Chengjun went to find Tao Jianshe angrily, and happened to run into Tao Daqiang who had run back. "Fifty yuan! Your Tao Dayong has been arrested and fined fifty yuan. Hurry up and gather the money. Come with me to pick him up! By the way, Daqiang, why did you come back?" "Someone wearing an armband is coming here, we got separated..." Tao Daqiang is still in shock and can't speak clearly. Xu Chengjun didn't count on him. Tao Daqiang had a low sense of presence and was considered stupid in the eyes of others. Both Tao Jianshe and Xu Chengjun thought he was just lucky. Tao Jianshe was still dreaming of getting rich one day, but his dream was extinguished by Xu Chengjun's words. "How could he be caught?" Tao Jianshe muttered to himself in despair. The waiter of the Li family had sold fish for several times and had never been caught, so how come he was caught when it was his turn? "How can we have time to talk about this?" Xu Chengjun understood. He shouted, "If you don't go now, you don't know what will happen to your Dayong!" When Tao Jianshe heard this, he immediately got up and ran into the inner room, took out a handful of change, and cried, "I only have a little over eleven yuan..." "I have five dollars here." Tao Daqiang took out some money from the inner pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, "I'll go borrow..." "Then go and borrow it quickly. I'm going to find your sister-in-law. I have to tell her that Dayong has been arrested..." Tao Daqiang came to Li's house and told Li Jianguo what happened. "How much do you want to borrow?" Li Jianguo asked cheerfully, "I still have twenty here." He took out twenty dollars and gave them to Tao Daqiang. Tao Daqiang took the money, lowered his head, and felt mixed emotions. Many people in the team didn't even earn twenty bucks a year at home, but Li Jianguo just took it out. He knew that this was done for the sake of his relationship with Li Long. He had just broken up with Li Long, so was it fair for him to do this? "Go home quickly." Li Jianguo urged him, "Your father should still be waiting for the money to pick up your brother." Tao Daqiang returned home. After a while, Tao Jianshe came back. Looking at the twenty yuan in Tao Daqiang's hand, he thought that it was finally enough. Ma Chunhong only took out fifteen yuan, saying that was all the money she had. This time, not only did he not make any money, but he also paid away all the assets of both families and still owed twenty dollars! When Xu Chengjun and Tao Jianshe went to the county to pick up the people, the news of Tao Dayong's arrest was fermenting in the village, and more people were saying that Li Long had also been arrested! I've been trying to get on the new book list these past two days. Although I'm ranked 70 or 80, at least I've made it. If you have a ticket, please vote. I don't mind monthly tickets or recommended tickets. They're all very useful. Thank you! There's another chapter today. (End of this chapter)
