Chapter 215 Making Beef
Shen Dagou sighed again, "My wife cried all day yesterday. I tried to persuade her, but I didn't know what to do."
He is now in a dilemma.
Shen Yi thought about it, pulled him aside and talked in private for a while, and soon Shen Dagou excitedly returned from Shen Yi's house to find Wei Erya.
The couple talked for an hour, and when Shen Dagou went to work again, he was obviously much more energetic.
Chen Xiang had been busy, and seeing that Shen Dagou was in a good mood, he couldn't help but wonder, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Dagou shook his head but smiled without saying anything.
Chen Xiang sighed, "Brother, no matter which of you or Dad goes to serve in the military, I can't bear it. From now on, all the money I earn will be given to you. I won't save it for myself."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Dagou flicked her head and said, "Hurry up and get to work."
After dawn, Su Tai took good care of the children and prepared a sumptuous breakfast for her family. She entered the Golden Time and Space Alloy Tool Customization Shop only after they left.
As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to tell me what she wanted. "Boss, this time we really have no choice. We have to cross the deep mountains and old forests, which are full of dangers, so you must use the best materials for me, from beginning to end. Quality is the first priority, and price is not a problem."
After listening to Su Tai's request, the boss started to use the calculator non-stop. "Dear Madam, according to your request, such a set of armor will cost about 100,000 yuan. I will also give you a layer of reinforcement protection on the front and back of the torso. The exact price will be known after the finished product is out. A deposit of 50,000 yuan for one set, and the rest will be paid after delivery and acceptance. Is that acceptable?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the quality must be guaranteed!" Su Tai emphasized again and again.
The boss gave a professional smile and said, "Dear Madam, please rest assured. We are a custom shop and we must put quality first. Otherwise, word of mouth will not spread. Please come and pick up the goods in ten days."
Su Tai agreed and said, "In addition to armor, I also need some self-defense weapons."
After she told her boss all her needs and left the Golden Time and Space, she immediately went to the Western Pharmacy in the Fire Time and Space.
All kinds of antibiotics, antipyretics and trauma medicines were bought in boxes as if they were free.
The pharmacy clerk was very happy to receive the large order, and without asking any questions, he asked someone to arrange the goods. Soon all the medicines Su Tai wanted were delivered, costing 20,000 virtual coins.
After bringing these things home, Su Tai finally felt relieved. She turned around and started thinking about how to get everyone to carry them with them.
The clothes they are wearing now are not suitable, so it seems they will need to get a new waist bag.
If it is a waist bag, it is best to use waterproof and wear-resistant materials. She only has cotton cloth, which is not a good choice.
Just as Su Tai was pondering, Ke Dasong and his family came driving a flock of sheep.
Su Tai quickly put aside all those thoughts and entertained them.
Ke Dasong had no intention of entering the house at all, but asked anxiously: "Xiao Tai, I heard that the government has ordered a conscription. Is your Chen Yi going to the battlefield?"
Su Tai pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Ke Dasong looked anxious and slapped his thigh heavily, "Ouch! How could this happen! What are you going to do with the child alone?"
He received the news after he left the ice field. Because he was worried, he ran to Shenjiazhuang without going to Dongmen Village.
Su Tai invited them in to rest and said, "Don't worry, uncle. My father and his family came yesterday. We have discussed it. Shen Yi and his second uncle Shen Yi will go, and my father will go too. I have already prepared self-defense items and medicines for them. I hope they are safe."
"What a fuss!" Ke Dasong was almost worried to death.
Su Tai was calm and looked at the sheep outside. "Uncle, how many were delivered this year? Eh? Is this a cow?"
Ke Dasong nodded, "We only raised sheep before, but now that we have some money, we want to try raising some cattle. This is beef cattle, which are grown for meat and can be slaughtered. We have raised them for two years and are only able to sell them this year."
"How much is one?" Su Tai's eyes lit up.
Seeing her heartless look, Ke Dasong became even more worried, but he still replied seriously: "A pound of slaughtered beef is 60 wen, and a whole pound is 30 wen. A pound is about 2,000 pounds, which is about 60 taels of silver. We dare not raise more, so we raised six."
Su Tai thought about it and said immediately: "Then sell them all to me!"
Ke Dasong's eyes widened in shock, "What are you thinking, kid? Shen Yi is going to the battle, why do you need so many cows?"
Su Tai pointed in the direction of Xu's house, "Uncle, that's the home of Shen Yi's second uncle. When the time comes, I'll raise the cattle to their family first. Shen Yi's cousin has to kill pigs every day, so it's just right for them to help me kill cattle. Another thing, I want to prepare waterproof waist bags for them, preferably waterproof, strong and wear-resistant. This cowhide is a good material.
Take the hides from the six cows and send them to the town for processing. The meat can also be made into beef jerky for them to take with them on the road so that it won’t be wasted.”
Ke Dasong suddenly realized and was filled with emotion, "You are really thoughtful. This way, your uncle won't make more money from you. One cow is fifty taels, and six cows will cost you three hundred taels. Your cousin and I will help you kill the cows before going to your father's place."
Su Tai didn't bother to be polite with Ke Dasong, which made the Ke family's father and son feel much better.
Killing a cow was a big event and the whole village went to watch. When they saw that the cow was indeed not a plowing ox, no one said anything and just watched the fun.
It takes two or three days to slaughter six cows. After the hides are peeled off, Chen Yi immediately sends them to the town for saltpetering. Su Tai selects the best beef for braising, and then uses the machine of the Gate of Time and Space to sterilize and package it. The packaging material used is oil paper.
This thing is not only airtight but also very lightweight.
The packages of processed braised beef look particularly clean. When you want to eat it, just tear it open and the rich aroma will fill the air. This stuff is also very filling and one package can keep you full for half a day.
Su Tai gave the products she produced to everyone to try.
The father and his two sons from the Ke family were the most surprised, and they almost praised Su Tai to the sky.
Su Tai couldn't help but feel happy. Seeing that they were about to set off for Dongmen Village, she hurriedly counted out the fifty sheep they wanted and paid for them.
When Ke Dasong came this time, most of the things had been sold. When they arrived at Dongmen Village, Su Chunlin was very happy to learn about what his daughter and son-in-law had done.
He packed ten of Ke Dasong's sheep, planning to kill two of them before leaving and eat them every day, as a luxury for once.
There were many families in the village who had this plan, so Ke Dasong found that the sheep were selling better in recent years than before.
After the two brothers Ke Zhengping sold their sheep, they kept three and gave them to their wife's brothers from their mother's family.
When they arrived at Ye An's house, Ye An's wife started crying before the two brothers even said a word, "Why is our Ye An so miserable? How long have the good days lasted? Woo woo woo."
Ye An felt very uncomfortable seeing his wife like this, and he forced himself to entertain his two brothers-in-law, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"
Ke Zhengping patted his shoulder, his eyes full of pity, "We are all family, so let's not talk nonsense. Are you the only one going among the three of you brothers?"
