Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 423 Xiaoyi, you are so at a loss!
The next day. Early morning!

Li Yi was woken up early by the loudspeaker in the village. It was Feng Kai who informed the village members to gather at the brigade headquarters.

Knowing that there was something serious, Li Yi did not stay in bed and reluctantly left the bed.

After getting dressed and washing up hastily, the family gathered around the stove and had a simple bite.

Later, Li Yi followed his father out of the house and went straight to the brigade headquarters in the center of the village.

When the Li family and his son arrived, most of the village members had already arrived, and they were chatting in groups in the yard of the brigade headquarters.

Perhaps because of the problem of insufficient rations, Li Yi found that most of the villagers looked disheveled, and some people walked a little frivolously.

Seeing this situation, Li Yi realized that the situation in the village was more serious than he imagined.

No wonder Uncle Feng is so anxious and angry!
When the folks in the village saw Li Yi arriving, they greeted him one after another, but more people's eyes were fixed on the cloth bag in his hand.

Everyone knows that the team will give them money today, but where will the money come from?

It must have been brought by Li Yi!

If nothing else, the cloth pocket in Li Yi's hand should contain the money distributed to everyone.

For a moment, everyone looked at the cloth bag with extremely hot eyes!

Walking into the simple brigade headquarters, Li Yi saw Feng Kai, Zhang Tongfu and Chen Wanzong squatting next to the stove, smoking and chatting.

Seeing Li Yi come in, Feng Kai immediately asked: "Xiao Yi, when will your sheep cart come?"

"It should be soon!"

Yesterday, he and his eldest brother-in-law agreed to come early today. After all, it was more than 350 kilometers from the village to the capital, and it would take at least eight hours to travel with a big truck.

What's more, after going to the capital, these Jie sheep have to be slaughtered overnight, so they must act early.

"That's good!"

Then Feng Kai continued: "Xiao Yi, our village has never raised sheep before, let alone sold them. How do you think this account should be settled?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Uncle Feng, a pound of good quality mutton on the market now costs 9 cents per piece. I will give it to the village at this price. What do you think?"

"The price is enough, but aren't you going to take the live sheep to the capital? How do you know how many kilograms there are in total?" Feng Kai said again.

"This is also simple. Let's catch a sheep of similar size and kill it and weigh it. No matter how much this sheep costs, the rest will be calculated according to this price!" Li Yi said.

"I think it's OK. They're all from our own family. It doesn't matter if they are high or low!" Feng Kai nodded and said.

Zhang Tongfu also echoed: "I have no objection!"

Chen Wanzong, the accountant on the side, then said: "If we can't, let's go to the sheep pen to kill the sheep now. After we calculate the price, we can just catch the sheep and load them into the car when the car comes!"

"Row!"

Subsequently, under the command of Feng Kai, more than 200 young people in the village rushed to the livestock shed not far away.

On the sheepfold side, the villagers have separated the Jie sheep and the ewes.

It’s not because they want to sell these goats that they do this, but because they are impulsive and will often fight once they are kept with ewes.

Once the Jie sheep fight, it is easy to affect the pregnant ewes, so they can only be housed separately.

When everyone came to Jie Sheep's sheepfold, Feng Kai said directly to a few young men in the crowd: "Dalei, you, Liangzi, and Daliansheng go in and catch a sheep. Just pick one of medium size!"

Feng Kai was very fair in his work, knowing that the price of one sheep was used as the standard for all sheep to calculate the price, so the choice of this sheep was crucial.

If it was too small, the village would suffer, and if it was too big, Li Yi would suffer, so he simply asked Liu Dalei to pick one of medium size.

In this way, no matter who loses or takes advantage on both sides, the amount will not be too large.

"Row!"

As he said this, Liu Dalei and several young adults named by Feng Kai immediately jumped out of the crowd and jumped into the sheepfold, preparing to catch the sheep.

But at this moment, Li Yi suddenly said to Liu Dalei: "Brother Dalei, I'm a little greedy for meat. Help me pick a big fat one. It's too small!"

Liu Dalei did not answer Li Yi's words, but looked at Feng Kai subconsciously.

Of course Feng Kai knew what Li Yi meant, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Yi, it's inappropriate!" "Uncle Feng, just listen to me, there is nothing inappropriate!"

Then he said to Liu Dalei again: "Brother Dalei, don't just stand there stupidly, catch him quickly, we are in a hurry!"

When Liu Dalei saw that Li Yi was serious, he immediately took the people to pick out the sheep.

Soon, they found a fat and graceful goat from the flock.

Then Liu Dalei pointed to the sheep and said to Li Yi: "Xiao Yi, what do you think of this one?"

Li Yi took a look and found that although this Jie sheep was a little bigger than the ordinary Jie sheep, it was not the fattest, and could only be regarded as middle-to-upper-class.

"It's small, let's make it bigger!"

Liu Dalei and others did not hesitate and started picking among the sheep again.

In the end, they set their target on a very eye-catching big Jie sheep. This time they did not ask Li Yi for instructions and directly captured the big fat sheep.

When the plump Daji sheep was tied up and carried out of the sheepfold, Liang Wanhe, the pig butcher who had been waiting outside, immediately stepped forward.

I saw him holding a gleaming sharp knife and skillfully slaughtering the big Jie sheep.

After the big fat sheep stopped moving, Liang Wanhe immediately hung the sheep with a rope to a small tree in the yard as thick as a bowl, and "undressed" the fat sheep in a familiar way.

His technique was very skillful, and he peeled off the entire sheepskin in just a few minutes.

Immediately afterwards, the fat sheep was disemboweled and all the internal organs were taken out into the basin, so a complete sheep pulley (white-striped sheep) was obtained.

Although the mutton at this time still contains a lot of ribs and spine, if you buy the whole lamb, these are considered pure mutton.

At that moment, Li Yi immediately asked someone to bring a large lifting scale to weigh the sheep pulley.

62 pounds!
After the weighing was completed, Li Yi immediately said to Feng Kai: "Uncle Feng, 62 pounds, 9 yuan per pound, a total of 117 yuan and 8 cents, just calculate it as 118!"

"Xiao Yi, you are so at a loss!"

"Haha, Uncle Feng, you are overthinking it. At most I will earn less, and I will definitely not suffer any loss!"

Li Yi's words were not to comfort Feng Kai. He just wanted to distribute more profits to the villagers and did not lose money.

You must know that apart from the initial investment of 4 yuan, he has never taken care of these cattle and sheep. The villagers are responsible for the site, labor and fodder.

Under such circumstances, he still owns half of the income from this batch of cattle and sheep.In Li Yi's opinion, he is definitely making money from this deal!

Not to mention anything else, the market price of the Jie sheep in front of him was conservatively estimated at 7 to 3 yuan, and he only had to pay half the price, which saved him more than [-] yuan.

In addition, there are more than [-] ewes and [-] cattle in the village.

If he really wanted to calculate the value of these cattle and sheep, this investment could earn him at least more than 10 yuan in profit.

More importantly, Li Yi's original intention of leading the villagers to engage in breeding industry was not to make money for himself.

If he wants to make money, there are many ways to do it, and there is no need to pick on the fellow villagers.

Because of this, when settling the accounts, Li Yi said nothing about the tens of thousands of dollars he had invested in the early stage, and tried to use the fattest sheep as the settlement standard. The purpose was to let the villagers share more money, nothing more.

And his actions also made the villagers very grateful. Although they were poor, they were not stupid or cunning, and they knew who was good to them!

As a result, everyone began to express their opinions:

"Xiao Yi, it's not easy for you to make money. You really don't need this!"

"That's right, if you can make money with the big guys, we are already very satisfied. How can we let you put money in? What kind of person would you be!"

"Yes, Yi Wazi, you can't do it."

And just as everyone was talking about it, there was suddenly a "rumbling" sound of a large truck outside the barn.

Immediately afterwards, a huge convoy of nine large trucks was seen driving into the yard where the livestock shed was located.
PS: I saw feedback from some readers that penny does not count as investment. Did the author forget that? It’s really not the case.

Do you still remember the background of Li Yi leading the villagers to engage in breeding industry? It was started when the village's grain production was greatly reduced. His original intention was to help the villagers tide over the difficulties. Making money was just incidental, and he could even make no money at all. accept.
