"How do you want to sell your sheep? Will the sheep be weighed by the pound or the whole animal?" Li Xuemei saw Grandma Rong nodding her head and began to ask the price.
When the boy heard this, he finally came to his senses and said cautiously: "Madam, we weighed the two sheep before we came here. Both of them weighed more than sixty kilograms, less than seventy.
If you want to buy it, it’s three yuan and five yuan for a sheep, a total of seven yuan.”
Li Xuemei did a mental calculation and found that the price was quite reasonable.
It's cheaper than going to town to buy it yourself.
Door-to-door delivery again.
"Okay, my family bought these two sheep, please wait a moment." Li Xuemei turned around and went back to get the money.
"Mother-in-law, why are there no people in your village?" the child asked curiously. _o_m
Grandma Rong pointed to her mouth and waved her hand.
The two of them understood that she couldn't speak.
Li Xuemei came back soon, gave her seven coins, and changed the ownership of the two rams.
Grandma Rong took the two sheep away and put them together with the ewes at home.
When the three sheep met, they bleated to each other.
The two people in front heard it, and the child's eyes lit up.
"It's my ewe. It hasn't been eaten. Auntie, your family has raised it?!"
Li Xuemei smiled and nodded.
"Run! Let's see who reaches the big rock first!" A group of children ran over from the north.
The two of them stared dumbfounded at the children who suddenly rushed over.
Everyone was carrying wooden sticks and carrying similar backpacks behind them. When I saw these two strangers, my first reaction was very scary.
They actually surrounded them, staring at them with eager eyes, and even the hand holding the wooden stick felt a little tighter.
"You...what are you...doing?" The child's uncle trembled and protected the money he had just received, holding it tightly.
"What are you doing? What are you doing around others?" A familiar voice came from behind.
The child looked intently and saw the kid from last time walking over carrying a longer wooden stick.
There were children making way for her along the way, which was very majestic.
"It's you, kid. Are you here to sell sheep?" Yan Yu hurriedly asked her mother: "Mom, did our family buy sheep?"
Li Xuemei hummed and said, "I brought both of them together and bought them both."
Yan Yu was so happy!
The smile on your face is as bright as you want it to be.
"Disband, dissolve! Everyone go back to their homes!" She began to chase people away.
The Boy Scouts who heard the order to disband should have dispersed in a hurry.
But when they heard about buying sheep, no one wanted to leave.
"Xiao Er, your family has bought another sheep, and there are two sheep. Is there a male this time? Is it good enough to breed cubs?"
"Aunt Yan, can we come into your house and have a look?"
"I also want to see."
"And I, and I..."
They all have a very strong interest in the Yan family's sheep.
Li Xuemei waved her hand and said, "Let's all go and see. Madam Rong, please watch from the side and don't hurt them."
Grandma Rong took the order and left.
A large group of children entered the Yan family's yard in an orderly manner.
Needless to say, this is the first time they have entered Tou Tou's home.
His steps unconsciously became lighter.
Along the way, the children discussed quietly.
"When the Yan family's sheep give birth to babies, and the babies grow up, and then give birth to babies, and there are many sheep, can we also take one home and raise it?"
"How long will it take to wait? Why don't we think of a way to buy a big sheep directly and let's raise it together, like raising rabbits."
Several rabbits are now owned by the Boy Scouts.
Their leader said that when the rabbits give birth to more litters, they will kill a few rabbits and eat them for meat. They will eat more rabbits in the future, and there will always be more rabbits.
"I don't know if the work points we earn are enough. I'll ask Yan Xiaoer later how much a sheep costs and whether we, the boy scouts, can afford it."
"By the way, why don't we go catch wild ducks in the reed beach? We can raise them too."
"Good idea, let's go later."
The three sheep stood quietly, staring at a large group of human cubs with one eye, not daring to move.
"The one with the horns is the ram, and the one without the horns is the ewe."
"Seeing that the ram is bigger and has more meat...(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 212 Delivering Meat to Your Doorstep
"
Coyotito took out a handful of grass from his backpack and tentatively handed it over.
A ram looked at him for a long time, then lowered its head and started eating.
This caused the children to cry out in surprise and search for it in their backpacks.
When they go into the mountains, they will also pick some fresh grass for the rabbits. After a few times, they will know what the rabbits like to eat. From then on, they will bring some back every time they go into the mountains.
Unexpectedly, sheep also like to eat it.
The enthusiasm of the children frightened the sheep.
Chewing grass while retreating.
Grandma Rong gathered the grass in their hands together and put it in the trough.
Three sheep walked over and ate obediently.
Having seen enough sheep, the children ran to the river.
Preparing to capture wild ducks in the reed beach.
"Have you entered the mountain?" the child said hurriedly: "You can't enter this mountain casually. There are big insects in the mountain! They can eat people!"
Bug? Tiger?
Yan Yu turned around and asked: "Really? Has anyone seen it?"
The child was very serious: "If I saw it, would I still be alive?" After thinking for a while, he said, "But it is said like this in our village and my grandma's village."
He added: "In addition to big insects, there are also wild boars. When it's cold and it's hard to find food in the mountains, wild boars even come out of the mountains and enter the village. It's really scary!"
Yan Yu's saliva was secreting.
So good? Deliver the meat to your door?
"Are there any hunters around here?" Yan Yu asked.
She had to ask more clearly. She was not afraid of anything else but falling into the trap dug by the hunters.
The child's uncle said: "There used to be some, but later I heard that they were recruited down the mountain. Hunting is very dangerous. In the winter, it's ice and snow, and it's even harder to walk in the mountains. There are only a few months of hunting throughout the year. It's better to farm the land honestly."
There is much to gain."
Yan Yu understood.
Hunters, for example, also have to pay taxes, and they seem to pay more than farmers who are responsible for farming.
For this kind of family, if a few people go into the mountains together, how can they be like their village? They want the whole village to run into the mountains.
These days, they didn't even look at a big guy.
I guess wild animals are smart. They knew that these two-legged beasts were numerous and could not be offended, so they stayed away from them.
It was agreed that any more sheep would be sent to her house, and Yan Yu watched the two of them leave the village.
"Mom, should we kill one today?" Yan Yu asked her mother for her opinion.
Li Xuemei nodded hesitantly: "Kill him, we don't have much meat at home. This sheep will be enough for us to eat for a few days, so we don't have to run to town."
"You don't have to kill it. We still have a lot of pig offal in our family. The braised pork by Grandma Rong is so fragrant. I think Master Lu and the others also like to eat it."
The reason why Yan Yu regretted it was because she thought of her father and wanted to stay for a few days and wait for her father to come back before killing the sheep and eating the meat. Update @
Li Xuemei guessed what she was thinking, "We can't let people eat pig offal every day. Although it's delicious, it doesn't sound good when told about it."
I thought it was a joke that his family was reluctant to buy meat for the workers.
It's okay to eat it once or twice occasionally, but it's not that big of a deal.
"I wonder how my dad is doing now?"
Yan Yu looked towards the other side of the river.
Dad has been gone for a few days. If it was just a nearby village or town, he should be back early in the morning.
There's no one around yet, I'm afraid they've really gone further, to Longxing...
