Xia Jingsheng received a big order and, overjoyed, ordered four sheep from Inner Mongolia at a high price.
Since Duoluduoxi went to the Jiangcheng Military Academy, the number of times the family's children go hunting in the mountains has decreased sharply, to only twice a month.
The two older brothers who stayed in Beijing were busier than the people working or studying in other places; they could only see each other a few times a year.
Duo Shou shuttles between the company and the school, and he can take his younger brothers up the mountain twice a month. He deliberately ignores the work that Xia Jingsheng has arranged for him.
The only difference between him and Duofu is that he can go home to eat and sleep.
Unlike Duofu, who doesn't even have an hour or two to get home.
When Duoshou was resting, he would at most take his younger brothers, Duoji, to hunt in a place dozens of kilometers outside the capital, where there were no wild sheep.
To find wild sheep, you have to travel over a hundred kilometers to the deep mountains of Jicun, and even then, you can't always find them.
Duoluduoxi went there when he came back from summer and winter vacations, but he couldn't find any wild sheep.
If you do the math, their family hasn't eaten mutton for over a year.
The children in the family jumped for joy when they saw the sheep.
Dorje circled around the sheep, saying, "If we had known Uncle could get sheep, we would have asked you to get them, and we wouldn't have been craving them for so long."
Xia Jingsheng laughed and said, "If you wanted to eat it so badly, why didn't you tell us?"
Dorjee: "We thought sheep could only be hunted in the mountains. You all don't have time to go home, so you certainly don't have time to go hunting in the mountains."
Duole ordered dishes with the lamb in hand: "Uncle, can we have cumin lamb chops and grilled lamb skewers today?"
Xia Jingsheng: "Make arrangements, you can eat as much as you want, your uncle will make sure you have enough."
Before the steward and the others could make a move, the impatient Dorjee ran into the kitchen and took out several knives that they usually used to butcher the game.
Dorjee said cheerfully, "Kill them all. If we can't finish them, put them in an ice bucket. If we can't finish them in the ice bucket, we'll make them into jerky."
One big and two small ones sharpened their knives and charged at the sheep, while Duoyi cheered on her uncle and two older brothers from the side.
Fu Wentao, who often sneaked over to the Xia family's house to play, came in just as Duole was killing the last sheep, while his good friend Duoyi was holding a basin to collect the sheep's blood.
Several people killed four sheep, and some blood inevitably splattered on them. If there weren't a few sheep on the ground, this place might have been mistaken for a murder scene.
Fu Wentao, who was usually carefree, was now pounding his heart and trembling as he asked, "Duoyi, aren't you afraid?"
Don't let the chubby boy's usual arrogance fool you. As the family's darling, he's never even seen a chicken killed before. Suddenly finding himself at a sheep slaughtering site, surrounded by blood, he was naturally terrified.
Duoyi turned and looked at him, asking in confusion, "What are you afraid of?"
Dorje, holding a bloodstained knife, laughed loudly, "Little Fatty, how can you be so timid? When we were your age, we dared to kill wild boars."
This is true; their children would start hunting in the mountains once they started elementary school.
Duo Yi, the youngest brother, is no exception. Although he is only six years old, he has already killed a wild boar on his own.
Fu Wentao, who had been laughed at, mustered his courage and said, "Who's afraid? I just didn't react for a moment."
Seeing Duoyi calmly carrying away a bowl of blood, Fu Wentao mentally encouraged himself, "Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of. Duoyi, who's the same age as me, isn't afraid, so I don't need to be either. It's just slaughtering a sheep, nothing to be ashamed of."
Fu Wentao, comforting himself in this way, gradually calmed down and walked over to Duoyi's side, feeling safer with his friend.
The real reason was that the other three people at the scene were holding bloody knives, and he was worried that if he wasn't careful, their knives might fall on him.
Fu Wentao's chubby face turned pale, and he asked tremblingly, "Duoyi, is your family having lamb today?"
Duo Yi's little face showed a hint of joy: "Well, why don't you stay and eat with us later?"
Fu Wentao's expression changed instantly, and he asked excitedly, "Really? Is it possible?"
Good heavens! He had only eaten mutton a few times in his six or seven years of life, and each time it was just a little bit. Today he can finally eat mutton to his heart's content.
The chubby boy's family has some money, but mutton is hard to buy; without special channels, it's really impossible to get it.
Duoyi: "Of course."
Although this guy talks a lot, let's be nice to him because he's been working so hard to shoo away the girls who want to swarm around him and waste his time with nonsense.
Butler Wan and Aunt Zhang came to help. Fu Wentao, eager to eat the sheep as soon as possible, clumsily joined in cleaning up the scene, and the sheep were quickly cleared out.
Fu Wentao felt like he was in a dream until a table full of lamb dishes was served. This was the first time he had ever experienced such a lavish meat feast.
Duo Yi nudged the bewildered Fu Wentao and said, "Eat up, what are you spacing out for?"
Fu Wentao then came to his senses and joined the group enjoying their meal.
Xu Xiangyue: "Jing Sheng finally did something good. Remember to bring back more sheep in the future."
Xia Jingsheng: "Mom, I haven't done anything bad, have I?"
Xia Taiping: "Your mother means that you usually only care about your work and not about the family. You should take care of it more in the future. Jingxing has bought all the seafood at home. You can buy a lamb, right?"
After getting his RV, Xia Jingxing frequently travels between Shenzhen and Shanghai, both coastal cities with abundant seafood. Every month, he drives his RV to deliver at least several hundred kilograms of seafood back to Shenzhen.
Xia Jingsheng: "It's just sheep, right? We'll get them, we absolutely have to. From now on, four sheep every month, and not just sheep, I'll get cows too. Is that alright?"
He used to focus all his attention on the company and hadn't thought about these things.
Now that his parents have given him some pointers, Xia Jingsheng feels he should pay more attention to his family. When it comes to raising cattle and sheep, the most important thing is finding a reliable source, and he already has that.
All that's left is money, and the tycoon said he doesn't lack money.
Duole, who was busy preparing for the whole lamb feast, twitched his ears upon hearing this: "Uncle, why don't you tell me where you get your cattle and sheep? I'll take care of the meat for the family, how about that?"
Yu Rujia: "Duole, are you dissatisfied with the fact that your shop only has some ordinary meat products and want to add beef and mutton?"
Duole chuckled and said, "Yes, we can get beef and mutton. If my shop had them, it would definitely bring in more customers."
Duo Shou: "This can indeed increase the store's traffic. I'll tell you about some of the recipes that will be used for braised beef and mutton in a bit."
Duole: "Thank you, Third Brother and Uncle, for the information on where to buy cattle and sheep?"
Xia Jingsheng readily agreed, "Sure, here you go. Remember to arrange for more cattle and sheep for your family in the future."
“I’ll allocate a sum of money to you every month. You can run errands, and I’ll pay for it; with us elders around, it’s not your turn to support the family as a little kid.”
Xia Yuanqiang is old and has lost some teeth, but the Xia family is wealthy, so he can replace each tooth as soon as it falls out, and he can eat as easily as a young person.
Listening to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the old man ate with even more gusto. It was rare to find a family in the entire capital that could maintain such a harmonious relationship between four generations living together without any barriers.
