Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 36 Buying Milk Sheep

"Sister, now that we have money, see if we have anything else to buy." Xie Fanyue held the money bag, and she was a little excited. This was the first time in her life that she made money, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.

In the past, she didn't have to worry about food, drink and clothing, and she didn't have to work hard for her livelihood. This is the first time in her life that she makes money and lets others spend it, which gives her a strange sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

"Do we have a lot of things to buy today? Let's not buy food for now. Let's go to the loose-selling stall first and have a look."

"Sister, what are we going to buy?" Xie Fanyue asked incomprehensibly.

"Buy sheep."

"Elder sister, you mean to buy a goat that has just given birth and has milk, and I will milk it for my little boy later."

"Yes, before our family had no money and couldn't afford to buy a sheep with milk. Now that our family has money, it's time to buy one and go home. We can squeeze some milk for the little boy to drink. After all, babies drink milk. It’s more nutritious than eating batter.” Her little boy was born prematurely, and the white batter that he could eat right after he was born went down. He was raised by his siblings so much, and there was nothing wrong with it. Xie Fanxing thought it was a Miracle.

I also believe that Xiaoguai is a lucky person, otherwise, if the other children are in this situation, it is good to raise them thin and sick, and maybe they may even die if they are not careful.

It's not like her little girl was raised white and tender.

"Then, let's go now."

Sister Xie Fanxing walked around the place selling loose goods and saw two places selling sheep, one selling loose mutton, and the other selling live sheep, but ewes without milk.

Near the end of the stroll, suddenly there was a cry of 'baa-baa'.

Xie Fanxing looked forward and saw a ewe whose lower body was particularly swollen, and there were a few drops of milky white milk on the ground.

"Let's go, there's something we want to buy." Xie Fanxing dragged Fanyue to the place where the sheep were sold.

"Uncle, how much is your ewe?" Xie Fanyue asked happily when she finally found a milk-producing ewe.

"If it weren't for my family's urgent need for money, I wouldn't sell my milk sheep that just gave birth. Otherwise, I would have to continue to let the ewes give birth to lambs and sell them for money, or after the ewes gave birth and had milk, Milk some goats and sell them for money." The stall owner was a middle-aged man, and when he saw that two little girls wanted to buy his ewes, he cried bitterly.

"We are here to buy ewes, not to listen to your complaints. How much is this ewe, and give me a real price." Xie Fanxing glanced at the middle-aged man, who looked honest and honest on the outside. His eyes were shining brightly, and it was obvious at a glance that he was not as honest as his appearance.

"Do you have the money to buy it? Can the two of you sisters decide to buy the sheep?" The middle-aged man glanced suspiciously at Xie Fanxing and the two sisters and asked.

"Of course there is money, the question is whether the price is suitable." Xie Fanxing signaled Fanyue to open the purse for him to see.

"Two taels of silver." The middle-aged man saw that there was a lot of money in the purse, and when he heard Xie Fanxing asking the price, he knew that Xie Fanxing was in charge of the two of them. root fingers.

"One, two, five. Don't rush to refuse. Your ewe has just given birth, and it won't be able to continue to give birth to lambs in a short time, and it won't bring you any benefits.

Not to mention milking for money, if there are too many lambs, the ewe's milk will only be enough for the lambs, and there will be no milk to sell for money.As for why you want to sell this ewe that has just given birth, I don't want to know.

If this business can’t be done, the two of us sisters only need to go around the town and visit a few sheep raising houses. I don’t believe that I can’t buy a milk sheep that has just given birth. "Xie Fanxing knows that a catty of mutton costs [-] Wen, and the sheep in front of him weighs about [-] catties. After removing the internal organs and bones, the net weight of the mutton is only about [-] to [-] catties. It is sold according to the price of mutton. Ewes can only be sold for one tael of silver.

But for live ewes that have given birth, the price is a bit higher, but it will not exceed one tael of silver or three hundred Wen.

The middle-aged man in front of him offered two taels of silver to deceive the two sisters who didn't understand the market, so it was too high.

"Chengchengcheng, one to two to five to one to two to five." Seeing that sister Xie Fanxing seemed to be leaving, the middle-aged man hurriedly stopped.

In the past, selling a sheep cost about one tael of silver and one or two hundred Wen, but now selling a ewe, he got one tael of silver and five hundred Wen, which was hundreds of Wen more than before. Knowing that the sisters in front of me know the goods and understand the market, they will not be able to raise the price, otherwise, this business will not be done.

Immediately, the middle-aged man agreed.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, the Xie Fanxing sisters went back to the grain store to buy some rice and flour, sugar, soy sauce, and some spices.

After buying these things, Xie Fanxing deliberately saved some money and went to the pork shop to buy a few catties of suet and a few catties of pork belly.

A few days ago, their family has been cooking in an iron pan. They ate a lot of tea seed oil squeezed out before, so they should add some lard to avoid cooking without oil.

Pork belly is bought for eating. She has never eaten a meal of pork since she traveled to Xie's house for a long time, so now is the time to have a meal of pork.

Once the money came in and out, it was spent again.

In fact, Xie Fanxing still has a lot of things to buy. She wants the blacksmith to customize an oven and barbecue rack. These two iron products alone will cost a lot of money.

But these things are not in a hurry to be used, and they can be added later.

After shopping, it was getting late, and sister Xie Fanxing hurried to the place where she met her uncle.

"Fanxing, you bought a sheep, how much did you spend?" Seeing Fanyue coming with a sheep, Xie Zhong asked slightly surprised.

Xie Zhongdu thought that the sheep they bought this time were the three liang of silver deposit that they had previously distributed.

What Xie Zhong didn't know was that the money paid for the tea seed oil deposit had already been used by Xie Fanxing to buy the iron pot.

"This sheep is only one, two or five dollars. Buy a ewe that only has milk and go back, so that I can squeeze some milk for the little boy. Anyway, we will not lose money if we buy this sheep. After the milking period is over, we will return You can find rams from Aunt Six's family to mate and give birth to lambs.

In the future, more sheep will be raised, and we can sell sheep to make money after they grow up in previous years.It happened that Fanchen and Fanri could go to herd sheep and do some work. "

"That's right, the price is a little bit expensive, but it's not easy to meet ewes who have just given birth and have milk. Fanyue, you just have to think about things in your family. We have to leave quickly. Fanyue will drive the sheep away, I'm afraid It's time to delay going home again, we have to walk faster on the way." Xie Zhong felt reasonable when he heard it.

The two of them separated, and the purpose of buying sheep was to milk the little boy and use it for righteous purposes, so Xie Zhong couldn't say anything.

Driving the sheep back home really delayed the time. By the time they got home, it was a quarter to three and it was already dark.
