"sheep?"
Su Nian repeated the word subconsciously, with a hint of disbelief in her tone.
Do these people actually raise sheep?
But soon, Su Nian realized that these people were riding horses!
Since we can raise horses, it doesn’t seem strange to raise sheep.
After figuring it out, Su Nian raised an eyebrow at the people below, "How much salt do you want? How many sheep can you exchange for it?"
After hearing what Su Nian said, the person who was speaking immediately understood that there was something going on!
"Of course the more the better! Five pounds of meat for one pound of salt, what do you think?"
In his previous life, Su Nian had never exchanged meat or salt with anyone.
Su Nian was in such a miserable state at that time.
Without any experience from previous life to refer to, Su Nian was not in a hurry to give an answer.
chapter
Just when Su Nian was silent, Jing Mo climbed up the ladder and stood next to Su Nian.
Jing Mo looked down from above, "Sure! I can give you ten kilograms in exchange."
After hearing Jing Mo's words, the man below frowned subconsciously, "Ten pounds? Too little!"
Before Su Nian and Jing Mo could say anything, the man spoke again, "That's fine, just ten kilograms!"
It’s a little less, but it’s better than nothing.
Jing Mo stood still and said, "Then go lead the sheep!"
The people below agreed, "Don't worry, we will be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his horse and led his men in the direction they came from.
After watching them leave, Su Nian looked up at Jing Mo and asked, "Is this price okay?"
Jing Mo nodded. "I learned some things when I was at the First Base. Captain Kong said that people here would go to the First Base to exchange salt. The price is a little higher than this. But we don't lack that little bit of mutton. If we exchange it with them, we will just be making friends."
Su Nian had no objection to Jing Mo's actions.
Since Jing Mo did this, he must have his reasons.
It is true that they no longer live in groups, but that does not mean they really stop interacting with others.
Sometimes necessary contact is still very necessary.
Just as Su Nian was about to speak, he heard Wu Yue's voice from below.
Hearing the voice, Su Nian immediately stood up and looked towards Wu Yue's RV.
Wu Yue was standing at the door of the RV, looking outside in amazement. "What's going on? I just closed myself off for a few days, and the thick fog outside has already dissipated?"
Hearing Wu Yue's surprised voice, Su Nian laughed, "Do you feel like you're in another world?"
Wu Yue looked up and saw Su Nian and Jing Mo standing on the roof of the RV. She smiled even more happily, "What's wrong with you two? Is there no room for you in such a big grassland? What are you doing standing on the roof?"
Su Nian did not answer Wu Yue's question. He walked down the stairs to the RV and soon came to Wu Yue. "Is your research going well?"
Wu Yue nodded, "Of course it went smoothly!"
Hearing Wu Yue's unthinking answer, Su Nian also laughed.
This confident Wu Yue was the Wu Yue she was most familiar with.
Wu Yue took out a reagent with grass seeds soaked in it. "Sprinkle this, and in less than a week, you'll have green grass and shade."
"That's perfect!" Su Nian said with a smile, "We just found someone to support your business."
Su Nian's words made Wu Yue feel confused, "Promote my business? What business of mine?"
Su Nian smiled but said nothing, intending to keep the question in suspense.
But this suspense didn't last long, because soon the group of people who left came back.
There are still so many people, and they are all riding horses.
The only difference was that this time there were two horses pulling a wooden cart at the same time.
In addition to the coachman, there were two other people sitting, and between the two people, there was a sheep standing.
The sheep doesn't look very big, it should be a growing sheep.
The sheep's wool is not very dense and it looks a little thin overall.
Su Nian couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen a live sheep. When he saw the sheep, he felt it was a little novel.
The leader was still the person who had spoken to Su Nian before.
He got off his horse and took two steps forward. "My name is Li Youliang. This is the sheep I brought. I also brought a scale. We can weigh it on the spot."
While Li Youliang was speaking, the people behind him had already taken the sheep and the scale off the cart.
Jing Mo went forward to check the scale and the sheep. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and said, "Weigh it!"
The sheep was put on the scale, and a number soon appeared on the scale: 27.8.
This is a kilogram scale, so the weight of this sheep is 55.6 kilograms.
According to the price they had agreed on before, five pounds of meat could be exchanged for one pound of salt, which would be more than eleven pounds.
This sheep is alive and will continue to grow, so Jing Mo took the lead and gave it twelve kilograms of salt.
Before these people came, Su Nian had already taken the salt out of the space and put it in the car.
Jing Mo returned to the car and soon carried out a box.
There were exactly twelve pounds of salt in it.
These salts are still packaged before the end of the world, and the gram weight of each bag is the same, so the quantity is quite convenient.
Li Youliang also opened one of the bags of salt and tasted it with the people around him.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the salt, Li Youliang had the boxes loaded onto the truck.
Li Youliang did not leave in a hurry, but instead gave careful instructions on some methods of raising sheep and things that needed attention.
In fact, even if Li Youliang didn’t say anything, Su Nian would not be afraid of not being able to raise the baby.
Su Nian has a lot of books and videos about breeding. After reading them all, he doesn’t believe that he can’t raise a sheep.
But after all, Li Youliang had good intentions, so Su Nian and the other two listened carefully.
After talking about raising sheep, Li Youliang asked one last question, "You are from the First Base, why do you want to live here? Isn't the First Base good?"
Su Nian curled his lips, "It's pretty good, but there are a lot of bugs."
Li Youliang had obviously been to the First Base. He laughed when he heard this. "Yes, there are a lot of them, and they are delicious! Although we have cattle and sheep, we dare not eat them casually.
The bugs are annoying, but it also gives me an extra meat dish!"
Hearing what Li Youliang said, Su Nian smiled but said nothing.
Between eating beef and mutton occasionally and eating insects every day, everyone knows the choice.
Seeing that Su Nian and the other two didn't respond, Li Youliang didn't say anything else, "Then we'll leave first. If you need anything in the future, just go north. If you drive, you can reach our tribe in about an hour. See you later!"
After watching Li Youliang and the others leave, Su Nian said, "It seems that they don't live in the base either."
