Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Moving
Jiang Heng's business trip was actually because he had contacted the sheep seller and would go there to pick out the sheep tomorrow.
She didn't have many connections on the grassland, but through Teacher Sheng, she was able to contact a grassland sheep dealer. The dealer had already collected a batch of lambs this year, and the quantity was sufficient. Whether she wanted to choose breeding sheep or meat sheep, there was a lot of choice.
Jiang Heng naturally had to hurry over.
That’s it… People really can’t be lazy. Once they are lazy, they will always want to be lazy.
Ever since Tong Yunqing came and took over all the trivial matters, Jiang Heng no longer needed to take care of the daily working hours of temporary workers, insurance, income volume, scheduled sales volume, stall volume, and online store volume.
The busiest time is collecting eggs every day.
The quails started laying eggs in less than a month, and together with the chickens, ducks, and geese, it was like playing a game for Jiang Heng, and it couldn't be said to be busy.
The rest of the time, I either think about eating and drinking or about practicing.
After entering the foundation-building stage, the speed of cultivation is obviously not that fast, but with a spiritual vein, it is still much faster than the first time. Now it is in the early stage of foundation-building, and it will break through in another month.
Tong Yunqing ate two sausages and stopped, demonstrating a lifetime of restraint. Jiang Heng's sausages were so generous, large and meaty, that after two, she felt almost full. "Huiying and I are going to have a barbecue tonight. Zhao Ning's husband is a real chef, and we've prepared a lot of ingredients. Do you want to come?"
"No need, I'll go to bed early and go to the airport tomorrow morning." Jiang Heng quickly shook his head.
Tong Yunqing said: "Okay, I'll tell that celebrity later and ask her to confirm a time to come."
Jiang Heng smiled and nodded: "Okay."
This time it is the accumulation of multiple fan benefits.
It happens to be late May, and the early-ripening peaches will mature. At the same time, cucumbers and tomatoes can also be harvested, and the crayfish that develop faster can barely be put on the market. The supplies are abundant, and we can give back to our enthusiastic fans.
Therefore, we will directly draw 100 places, and you can bring one relative or friend with you and have their travel expenses covered to come and play.
Registration starts on May 22nd and ends on June 22nd. A maximum of ten guests can be accepted each day.
As for the accommodation problem, it was also easily solved.
After buying the sheep, Jiang Heng will move. Now that a warehouse has been built, the room that was originally used as a warehouse will be vacated. The upstairs and downstairs rooms, as well as the living room, will be partitioned with screens and can easily accommodate ten people.
No different from a B&B.
Moreover, it is a B&B without a boss, which makes people feel more comfortable.
Thinking about it, Jiang Heng suddenly realized: "Oops, I forgot to ask who that female celebrity is?!"
You can't gossip in advance.
As soon as Tong Yunqing left, Xiao Shitou sat on the grill, holding the two sausages that were specially reserved for him and began to chew on them. As he ate with his greasy mouth, he didn't forget to ask, "Will you understand if I tell you? You don't even watch TV!"
Jiang Heng: “…That’s right.”
She really doesn't watch TV much. Apart from eating, drinking and playing with animals, her only entertainment activity is playing games.
Speaking of games, Jiang Heng felt itchy again and took out his phone: "Do you want to play?"
"Play! Wait for me." Lei Lei's speed of chewing the sausage increased suddenly, and he wolfed it down while eating: "Delicious, delicious! I want to eat it again tomorrow."
"Let's go eat authentic grassland mutton tomorrow. I heard that the mutton raised there has a milky aroma!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.
The grass she feeds here is different from that over there. It tastes lighter and has less mutton smell. This is all due to her spiritual energy. Therefore, although the mutton she raises is also fragrant, it is not the fragrance of milk, but a kind of fresh fragrance that is nourished by the essence of plants.
Of course, it is also delicious. Even those who like milky lamb will definitely like her lamb.
Because of this fresh fragrance, the fat-rich mutton does not appear greasy, and it is delicious whether it is stewed, grilled, or roasted.
Lei Lei immediately changed his tone: "Then let's eat mutton!"
"Roasted whole lamb!" Jiang Heng added.
There are too few sheep in her house, so she can’t eat a whole roasted lamb!
Lei Lei ate the last bite of the sausage and wiped his mouth happily: "Life is really colorful with you."
Jiang Heng thought for a moment and said, "It should be a variety of flavors."
Leilei: “Hahaha~”
Hearty and clear laughter filled the whole room.
The sound was so loud that the dogs playing nearby trembled.
Jiang Heng couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. He felt comfortable when he was alone, but it was also fun to have a little guy like this to communicate with.
The two of them joked for a while and then set out on the expedition together.
*
Traveling from the central region to the depths of the grassland is a big challenge.
Even though the flight shortened the time a lot, it still took nearly ten hours to reach the town where the sheep dealer was. It was already late, so Jiang Heng didn't go there immediately. Instead, he took Xiao Shitou to have a big meal here.
This is a gathering place for eleven ethnic groups including Han, Mongolian, Hui, etc., which means that it has rich ethnic cultural characteristics and you can eat a lot of good food.
Therefore, before coming here, Jiang Heng specially collected some restaurant recommendations and must-eat lists on the Internet.
Fortunately, she and Lei Lei are both big eaters. Each of them has a stone. Whenever they go to a restaurant, they try to choose a private room. After confirming that there are no cameras, they order dishes. Except for the roasted whole lamb, they try all the others, such as camel meat pie and hand-held meat.
Really delicious!
Even though she and Lei Lei had keen senses, they couldn't actually taste much of the mutton's smell, and the other meats were also very good.
Every time she paid the bill and left the private room, she would be met with admiring looks from the boss, and some people would come over and ask for her autograph, thinking that she must be a very popular glutton blogger on the internet.
Every time this happened, Jiang Heng would run away very quickly.
The next morning, she was picked up by the sheep dealer to pick sheep.
The other party was extremely wealthy. Compared to the situation where there were less than a hundred calves to choose from, the Mongolian boss directly asked her to face thousands of lambs to choose from.
Jiang Heng was not the only one who came to pick sheep. There were several other bosses who also came to buy sheep.
Therefore, the lunch prepared for them was the roasted whole lamb that Jiang Heng had been longing for.
When Little Stone heard this, he immediately got excited: "Master, shouldn't you be more picky?! I heard a whole roasted lamb is very expensive!"
Jiang Heng: "Don't worry, I'll definitely pick more!"
Unlike the sheep that were barely okay at Luo Anmin's place, the lambs here with the lowest configuration were in better condition than those at Boss Luo's place. If Jiang Heng wanted to, she could pick any one with her eyes closed, but she still had to rely on them to reproduce in the future.
It’s not easy to come to the prairie.
Jiang Heng selected very carefully.
First look at the appearance, a good-looking face is a prerequisite, then look at the mental state, which should be lively and agile, then look at the skeleton, which should be tall and strong.
After going through this round of selection, the Mongolian boss's eyes changed when he looked at her.
"Miss Jiang, didn't you really live on the grassland before?"
Upon hearing this, several bosses who were traveling with him looked over, all with the same question in their eyes.
They all raised sheep, so naturally they knew something about sheep. It was obvious that Jiang Heng had picked the best sheep, and his selection speed was much faster than theirs, just like he was back home.
But she was obviously of Han Chinese appearance, and her skin was fairer and more delicate than theirs, and she didn't look like she grew up on the grassland.
Jiang Heng said modestly, "I picked them based on my feelings."
Several bosses exchanged glances and handed out their business cards, including the Mongolian boss: "Ms. Jiang, I heard that you also buy breeding sheep to take home and reproduce them yourself. If you want to sell sheep in the future, just come to me!"
Jiang Heng graciously accepted the business card and returned one.
Fortunately, Tong Yunqing made preparations.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to produce her business card right now.
Jiang Heng wanted a lot of sheep, a total of 600, including 200 ewes and 400 castrated lambs.
No breeding sheep were bought. When Boss Luo bought the two rams he has now, he selected them with very good breeding sheep genes. The three rams born after the new year are better than the rams here, and there is no problem in using them to reproduce offspring.
After the selection was completed and it came to the stage of signing the contract for transportation, the Mongolian boss was stunned when he saw the address on it.
"This place is not suitable for raising our sheep!" the boss kindly reminded.
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "I've already raised a batch, and the results are pretty good. The sheep are all very healthy. We have very good pasture and water sources over there, so there's no problem."
The boss couldn't persuade him and gave up, and then the bargaining began. The shipping cost of this kind of sheep is usually paid by the seller, but Jiang Heng's place is too far away, and the shipping cost is tens of thousands, so he is only willing to pay a small part.
Jiang Heng felt the price was acceptable and agreed readily.
Then, when he hired the driver, he should tell him that she would be accompanying him throughout the journey.
Transporting six hundred sheep is a big project. We have to drive all the way from the grassland back to Zhongxing Province. Now that the weather is getting warmer, it will take two or three days. If one of the sheep can't hold on and dies, that will cost a lot of money.
In particular, the lambs she picked were the most expensive ones.
Jiang Heng had to follow them and add some spiritual water into their water source from time to time to maintain their condition.
This is why she was too lazy to come here before.
The distance is too far, and nothing is easy.
*
The contract was signed, and Jiang Heng had a delicious roasted whole lamb meal at noon. He had nothing to do in the afternoon.
Other bosses in the same industry still have to continue to choose.
Jiang Heng is quick at picking, but others are not.
So someone had an idea and asked her to help choose. In addition to the fee for her help, she was also treated to a meal of roasted whole lamb. The girl liked the roasted whole lamb at noon very much and ate several kilograms of meat by herself.
Jiang Heng readily agreed and quickly helped to choose. At the back, the Mongolian boss suddenly said, "Miss Jiang, we're going to harvest sheep next year. Could you please come and help choose?"
This is too fast!
Before he could react, his best lambs were picked away.
The two groups of sheep are mixed together, and people without good eyesight may not be able to tell the difference immediately.
But when separated, it is obvious at a glance which lamb is the better one.
Jiang Heng said helplessly: "Sorry, it's too far."
"Okay." The Mongolian boss sighed again and marked the selected sheep.
After selecting everything, Jiang Heng went to a nearby horse farm that they enthusiastically recommended and bought a horse that really caught his eye. The horse was neutered, had a gentle temperament, and was suitable for daily riding.
At this point, her goal of coming here this time has been exceeded.
After two days of waiting, I traveled here.
After completing all the formalities, Jiang Heng hired a driver to follow the sheep-delivering team. The team leader was very responsible and would find a place to stop and rest every five hours to check on the condition of the sheep.
There are always two drivers, who take turns driving and can travel all night long.
Jiang Heng's consideration was not wrong. After the eighth hour of traveling, she noticed that some of the sheep were not in good condition. They were lambs that had just been weaned, and their physical fitness was definitely not as good as that of adult sheep. After such a long journey, people would be tired, let alone sheep.
Fortunately, she has been replenishing spiritual energy into the water source. After drinking some water, their condition will be much better.
Eat some grass, corn, soybean meal, etc. during the rest period and you will recover.
The only horse was probably in good condition because it was an adult. Every time Jiang Heng went to check on it, it seemed very attached to it. It was just as the boss said, a very docile horse suitable for transportation.
After repeating the process one by one, we finally arrived at Jiangjia Village in the early morning of the third day.
Because the sheep were in better condition than expected, they were traveling much faster, but there were still a few that looked sick.
When they arrived at the village, Jiang Heng asked Zhan Hong to place the sick sheep separately first. The other lambs were driven by Caramel, Pudding and Border Collie, and assisted by Xiao Shitou, and they got off the car smoothly and entered the sheep pen prepared in advance.
There is well water prepared in advance.
The well water has been continuously irrigated by Jiang Heng with rainwater containing spiritual energy for a year, and the water quality is now much better than before, which can adjust the condition of the lamb to a certain extent.
Zhan Hong closed the fences of the sheep pen one by one. Instead of leaving immediately, she carefully observed the condition of the lambs and then reported to Jiang Heng: "They all look fine. They can eat and drink, and they are still bleating."
Jiang Heng felt relieved and transferred money to the person in charge of transportation.
The cost of buying sheep, transporting sheep, and buying a horse totaled exactly one million.
After paying, Jiang Heng felt relieved. He sent the horse to the stable in the new house, poured water on it, and put some grass for it to rest there first.
Take your pet back to sleep quickly.
Sleep till dawn.
When Jiang Heng woke up the next day, he checked the situation on the farm on his mobile phone. Early in the morning, Xiao Shitou took Jiaotang and the others to let the calves out to graze.
After driving them over, a few little guys returned to the lambs' area and used their mouths to signal to Little Stone, asking if the lambs here should be released too.
Little Stone squatted on top of the Husky, lost in thought.
I forgot to ask the owner yesterday!
After a night of rest, the lambs were in good spirits, including the sick ones that were separated. They were very familiar with the sheepdogs and were not averse to them. Instead, they started bleating non-stop when they saw them.
Hungry!
So hungry!
The dogs became increasingly anxious and kept circling in the middle aisle.
Fortunately, Tong Yunqing received the news last night and rushed over early in the morning on his Old Man's Le, bringing a group of people to cut grass and deal with the lambs.
There was only fresh green grass, and the lambs immediately stopped crying and immersed themselves in eating the grass.
The furry kids then left with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
It's a shame I can't post these.
Especially the Border Collie, he kept looking back every few steps.
Jiang Heng laughed at what he saw.
The surveillance video was fast-forwarded and nothing unusual was shown. After Zhan Hong and Xie Miao finished dealing with the other poultry, they worked together to clean the sheep shed and then hung salt bricks in each sheep shed.
The intelligent cleaning robot arm can only be operated when the sheep are not in the sheep house, and human assistance is required at other times.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, the lamb was full and resting leisurely inside.
There were also veterinarians who came to check on a few sick lambs that needed special attention. They were found to have no major problems, just problems with the local climate and they just needed to be taken care of properly.
When Tong Yunqing heard that he should take good care of the animal, he turned around and poured a large bucket of honey water over.
There is nothing more nourishing than honey.
So when Zhan Hong came over to check after finishing her work, she saw several lambs drinking honey water. She couldn't hide the pain on her face. She wanted to say something but didn't dare to say more.
This honey costs five thousand yuan per kilogram!
Just feed it to the sheep!
Jiang Heng could feel her heartache through the screen, and smiled with curved eyebrows.
——
After watching the surveillance video, Jiang Heng got up refreshed.
Thinking of drinking some water, she opened the refrigerator and found a basket of fresh strawberries inside. Although she didn't pick the strawberries, it must have been picked by her aunt or Tong Yunqing and put there.
There is also a pot of honey water.
Feeling a little hungry, Jiang Heng grabbed a strawberry. Before closing the refrigerator door, she heard the sound of dogs running outside. So she simply took out the whole basket and sat down. Xiao Shitou came over with the puppies and kittens.
“Woof woof woof!”
"Woof woof!"
"Master! You're awake!"
"Meow~"
A cheerful voice echoed in the living room.
Jiang Heng took the initiative to divide the strawberries: "Here, one by one."
"Awoo~" Leilei took one first.
The others followed suit.
While they were eating, Jiang Heng made herself a bowl of noodles. For convenience, she asked someone to make some noodles with her own flour. They were not as chewy as hand-rolled noodles, but the flour was of good quality, so the noodles were naturally delicious.
Especially Jiang Heng has various sauces. Add a spoonful and stir it in, it will taste even better!
After they ate and drank their fill, it was already past ten o'clock. Jiang Peng came back from delivering the goods, greeted her, and said happily, "I went to see the sheep you bought. There are so many! When we let them out, this hilltop will be covered with fur!"
Jiang Heng also imagined that scene, and the corners of her lips curled up: "You can come over and take pictures when the time comes. It will definitely be as comfortable as the grassland when they drive the sheep with Pudding!"
Several hilltops have been tidied up. Except for the ups and downs, the rest of the land is very flat. Jiang Heng has also planted pasture grass on them, and they are now lush green. When the sheep run, they look like a group of white carpets moving.
Jiang Peng was thinking about this kind of scene, and immediately asked, "When can I let him out?"
"It'll take a week." Jiang Heng said, "Let them adapt. After a week, we can try to release a batch and see how it goes."
Jiang Peng was disappointed: "It will take a long time."
Jiang Heng was about to say something comforting when she suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, did you say you were moving in the next two days?"
"Yes, we'll move in after we finish our work this afternoon!" Jiang Heng said excitedly, "We've been waiting for a long time, and now we can finally move."
Jiang Peng:?
How long?!
It felt like the house was built in the blink of an eye, and after only half a month of ventilation, we were ready to move in.
Jiang Peng was so envious that tears were about to flow from the corners of his mouth: "Your house is so nice! I also want to work hard to save money to build a house! Now many families in the village are planning to build houses. I thought everyone was very poor."
Jiang Heng: “…”
That's definitely impossible.
No matter how poor you are, there will always be some people with a strong sense of crisis who will work hard to save money.
She patted her cousin's shoulder sympathetically: "Come on!"
Jiang Peng: "...Just two words, why do I feel so sad?"
After wiping away his tears, he went home proudly.
At this time, Chen Aying must have taken orders from tourists and was washing vegetables and cooking, so she also wanted to go over to help.
Jiang Daqiu can't help at noon. He is responsible for night watch. His salary has doubled, and he also has five insurances and one fund. He patrols diligently every night and can't get up during the day. At most, he can help at breakfast and dinner.
Anyway, there are four people in the family. Except for Xiaoxiao who is still a primary school student and only needs to go to school, the other three are all busy all the time. Although they are tired, they make a lot of money. Now the whole family is prosperous.
Especially since Jiang Peng no longer engages in revenge spending, his savings have already reached nearly 50,000 yuan in just three months since the divorce!
*
Jiang Heng also wants to go see her more than 600 sheep.
As soon as he walked out the door, he was noticed by tourists who came to visit. Many lively guests took the initiative to greet him: "Boss Jiang is back! It feels like I haven't seen you in a few days?"
"Boss Jiang, that goshawk has been circling here for the past two days. It won't leave even after hunting."
"Boss Jiang, you're finally back! Are you setting up your stall today?"
Jiang Heng responded one by one: "I went out for a few days because of something."
"It's okay, don't worry about it. It's a wild animal. There's no need to interfere."
"Moving today, no stall, set up a stall tomorrow~"
When the guests heard this, they immediately congratulated her and no longer felt sorry that she was no longer setting up a stall.
Anyway, she doesn't set up a stall, so you can buy food if you want.
Jiang Heng walked towards her new home and heard a familiar cry. Then, a familiar goshawk flew towards her, landed on a tree not far away, and made a crisp call to her: "Kiki~"
Jiang Heng walked over and happened to pass by the tree where the hawk was. The goshawk instinctively moved its claws but still did not leave.
The distance between the upper and lower parts is only two meters.
Jiang Heng waved his hand: "I'm back, don't worry."
The goshawk tilted its head, not knowing whether it understood or not, then flapped its wings and flew away.
Jiang Heng continued to move forward, followed by Caramel, Pudding and the others. When they opened the door to their new home, they met the horse they had not had time to communicate with yesterday.
"Huff, huff—" the horse breathed in short bursts.
Its big eyes stared at them curiously, and it moved its hooves uneasily, but didn't make any other movements.
This was the horse's attempt to explore something it was curious about, with no other reaction, and it seemed to be in a good mood.
I wonder if he ate some delicious grass last night?
The grass in the stable was gone, and now there was a pile of fresh poop.
Jiang Heng cleaned it up and went over to touch the horse's neck. The horse lowered its head and came over obediently. Several dogs and Ali also approached curiously.
The horse's coat was dark brown, but its personality was gentle. Jiang Heng introduced it with the words, "This is my commuter horse from now on. It's called Nai Huang Bao. We're all colleagues now, so get along well, okay?"
The little ones immediately responded solemnly: "Woof!"
"Meow~"
Leilei: “Okay!”
Custard bun also raised his head happily: "Whee-whie--"
He certainly didn't know that such a strong horse like him was given such a soft name.
They were all very happy. Jiang Heng touched each one of them, put the saddle on the horse, led it out, and immediately jumped on the horse. With a wave of his hand, he led the group of furry children and said, "Let's go!"
"Woof woof woof~"
A few dogs were the first to rush out excitedly.
Custard Bun almost ran away, but was stopped by Jiang Heng. There were too many people here, so he couldn't run. Ali ran two steps, and when he saw that she didn't run, he stopped too. When he got closer, he jumped onto the horse: "Meow~"
Very lazy.
Little Stone followed suit, and the Husky refused to ride. He jumped on top of the horse and said, "Hold on!"
Jiang Heng, riding a horse, successfully attracted the attention of the tourists here. Immediately, there was a burst of screams all around. Custard Bun was a little uneasy, but Jiang Heng immediately stroked its neck, and the spiritual energy surrounded it, and it quickly calmed down.
"Ahhh, so cool! Boss, is this a new program?! Will there be horse riding programs in the future?!" a tourist asked excitedly.
Jiang Heng quickly explained: "I'm sorry, this is a horse I bought privately for transportation."
The tourists sighed in disappointment.
Other tourists were taking photos quickly.
Another tourist excitedly said, "I think you could start a horseback riding business here! This whole area is cultivated. If we clear it up, the horses can run free! When I get back, I'll tell my B&B owner I'd pay a hundred dollars for such a service!"
Other tourists were reminded and expressed their agreement.
The villager who was in charge of watching over the scene seemed to be thinking about something.
Jiang Heng didn't say much about this matter. A good horse is not cheap. She spent tens of thousands of dollars on this horse. It is a project with a large investment and a long-term payback period. Especially if the horse gets sick, it is also very expensive. For the villagers here, it is not something that can be easily borne.
The horse entered the farm. There was no one else on the farm at that time. Jiang Heng deliberately did not take the cement road and went through the cultivated area. The ducks he met on the way retreated one after another, and only the geese bravely stood up to peck the horse.
Driven away by the little stone.
Custard Bun trotted along with its long legs and finally stopped at the entrance of the farm. Jiang Heng let it eat grass as it pleased and went inside. Tong Yunqing was still there.
As the second-in-command, she has a very good salary, so she is particularly responsible at work. The most important moment is when these sheep just come back. She must observe them carefully, and if she finds something wrong, she must isolate them immediately.
Fortunately, there were enough isolation rooms set up at the beginning.
Seeing Jiang Heng coming over, Tong Yunqing greeted her with a smile: "You're up. Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." Jiang Heng smiled and nodded. "By the way, I'm moving this afternoon. Remember to come to the housewarming party tomorrow night."
Tong Yunqing immediately said: "I will definitely come!"
Tomorrow is the weekend, and everyone has a day off.
Jiang Heng's arrangements were simple and he didn't plan to make a big deal about it, otherwise the entire village, including the guests who came to play, might have to be seated, and that would be too much of a project.
She wasn't used to this level of excitement either.
So just invite some familiar people to form two tables.
By then, she, Chen Aying, and Jiang Peng will be busy together, and cooking two tables of dishes will not be a problem.
After checking the status of the sheep, she looked at the cattle grazing outside. Jiang Heng named the cute little cow Hanhan because she was so lovable. She was so big and bulky, but she was so cute when she was acting coquettish. The contrast was so cute. For example, at this moment, when Hanhan, who was grazing leisurely, saw her, he shook his head, realized something, and immediately ran over to rub against her, making a slightly excited sound: "Moo!!!"
Still remember her~
Jiang Heng felt a little guilty as he touched his pockets. He didn't bring any food with him. "I'll bring you some strawberries tonight."
"Moo~" the little guy hummed happily.
Jiang Heng then went to check on the quail and half-grown pigeons. The quail were timid and semi-captive, allowing them to roam freely within a certain range. They had no difficulty adapting and were very efficient at laying eggs, even outnumbering the chicken eggs! The pigeons were even smaller, having only been hatched for about ten days, but their feathers looked almost fully grown, and they walked nimbly on their two paws, looking very healthy.
Needless to say, the chickens and ducks were the first batch of farm employees. Along with the calves, their nests were also moved here. They have adapted well and are now roaming around outside to find food.
After inspecting his own breeding empire, Jiang Heng rode his Custard Bun back contentedly and called a few furry children along.
Officially moving!
