Chapter 483: The Old Sheep Head Gets Lucky
Old Sheephead waited outside for quite a long time, but at this moment the sky suddenly cleared up, and the strong afternoon sun made people feel warm. They squatted at the foot of the wall, which was a good place to shelter from the wind. In the windless afternoon, basking in the sun made people drowsy.
At this time the door opened. Old Sheephead had taken a nap. When he heard the sound, he rubbed his eyes and stood up.
"Big Brother, let's drive the car to the slaughterhouse to be weighed."
Jia Yanbing stood at the door and shouted to the old sheephead.
The old sheephead quickly let out a sigh. He also wanted to deliver the goods quickly and go home. There were so many sheep at home, and his wife was alone at home. He was a little worried. It took four or five days to go back and forth, and he had never been out for so long.
Old Sheephead immediately called on others to drive the mule carts and follow Wan Laoer's carriage to the slaughterhouse.
The slaughterhouse is some distance away from Chen Zhen's home. After all, the smell of blood is too strong and it definitely cannot be placed in a residential area.
The slaughterhouse is located on a farm on the northern outskirts of the city.
It took about quarter of an hour to get there.
This farm is a property under Chen Zhen's name. Because his family started out by selling mutton, a slaughterhouse was specially built on this farm.
"Here we are. This is it."
There are special guards at the entrance of the manor. After all, the meat here is real meat, so of course we have to be careful.
"The master is here." The guard saw Chen Zhen's carriage and immediately came forward to greet him.
"Go call the manager and tell him that a new batch of goods has arrived. Ask them to come out and meet us as soon as possible."
"yes."
Not long after, a slightly plump and shrewd manager came hurriedly with a group of people.
"Hello, Master."
Chen Zhen nodded slightly, "Hurry up and do your work."
Chen Zhen is a man of few words, but he pays great attention to work efficiency. He believes in the saying that the Chen family does not keep idle people. Everyone has to be busy, and the day's work cannot be delayed until the next day. Therefore, their family's business has always been good.
The steward knew his master's temper, so he didn't say much and immediately waved his hand. The people behind him were obviously used to doing this kind of work.
They had a clear division of labor: some people lifted the scales, some herded the sheep, and some took notes.
After working for nearly half an hour, I finally finished weighing all the sheep.
Sixty-eight adult sheep weigh a total of 10,888 kilograms.
Wan Laoer has already paid part of the deposit to Lao Yangtou'er. Now he just needs to pay him the remaining money and he can leave.
Jia Yanbing and Chen Zhen took Fubao and Xiaozhuang into the farm together. Wan Laoer stayed behind to settle the remaining payment with Lao Yangtou.
The old sheep leader took the silver and was about to leave. At this time, the steward came out and asked the old sheep leader, "Are you the old sheep leader?"
The old sheep head nodded quickly, "Yes, I am the old sheep head, what can I do for you, sir?"
The old sheephead was a little nervous, thinking that something had happened to his sheep and that they wanted to be returned.
He couldn't help swallowing and looked at the manager nervously.
Wan Lao Er was also a little confused. What did this man want from Lao Yangtou? Lao Yangtou was only responsible for delivering the goods.
"Mr. Yan recommended you to our master, saying that your sheep are well-raised and have delicious meat. Our old sheep just looked at the sheep. Although your sheep have been transported on the road for a few days, they are still alive and kicking after being untied just now. Moreover, your sheep's wool is bright and smooth, and their bodies are well-proportioned. It can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into it. Our old sheep wants to cooperate with you for a long time. In the future, our master will take in as many sheep as you have. If you agree, wait a moment, and our master will personally negotiate the price with you."
Old Sheephead didn't expect such a good thing to happen. He was a little confused. However, whether it was a good thing or not depended on the price the other party gave him.
"Okay, I'll wait. I'm just tired, so I'll take a rest here. It won't be a problem."
Wan Laoer did not expect that Jia Yanbing would directly push Old Sheep Head to Chen Zhen. However, they would not do this business in the future anyway. Even if they helped Old Sheep Head, it was also a way to thank him for taking them in for one night and allowing them to escape from the pursuit. Now they were even.
The steward did not leave, but said to Old Sheep Head and Wan Lao Er: "Our master has prepared some wine and invites you to come in for a meal. You have worked hard on the journey, and we will have long-term cooperation in the future. We will be business friends, and our master will never treat friends badly."
The old sheep hadn't eaten lunch and was very hungry. When he heard that there would be hot meals, hot dishes and wine, he immediately perked up and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you very much, Master. Your Master is such a good man."
Wan Laoer and Lao Yangtou'er, along with the coachmen behind them, entered the farm and were led by the steward into a flower hall where wine and food were already being served.
Chen Zhen and Jia Yanbing were both there, with Fubao and Xiaozhuang sitting on either side of them, and Xiaozhuang sitting next to Fubao.
Wan Laoer slapped his thigh in anxiety. He was careless for a moment and failed to guard against this boy. He didn't know whether this boy took advantage of their daughter. Mr. Yan was really something. Although Fubao was not his daughter, she was his student after all. Why didn't he care about Fubao's reputation?
He immediately walked over to Jia Yanbing and sat down, and winked at Fubao.
But Fubao was so absorbed in the interesting things Xiaozhuang was saying that she didn't even notice that her father's eyes were almost blinded.
Jia Yanbing glanced at Wan Laoer and found it somewhat amusing. He gently patted Wan Laoer's arm, and Wan Laoer gave up staring at Fubao and turned to look at Jia Yanbing.
"Brother Wan, it's okay. I'm here. You've worked hard along the way. Let's have a drink."
Jia Yanbing took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Wan Laoer.
Wan Laoer doesn't drink much normally, and he has to be on guard against Xiaozhuang, so he dares not drink even more.
"Mr. Yan, I don't drink. I have to drive in a while. I will get drunk if I drink. What if I drive the carriage into a ditch?"
Jia Yanbing didn't really persuade Wan Laoer to eat more vegetables.
Wan Laoer did not enjoy the meal at all. His daughter did not even look at him during the whole meal and just focused on eating. Xiaozhuang was busy picking up food for Fubao and telling her a funny story from time to time. Fubao had no time to look at her father at all. Everyone could see the disappointment on Wan Laoer's face.
After the meal, Wan Laoer could no longer sit still, and quickly ran over to pick up Fubao, carefully wiped her mouth, and asked with concern: "Girl, are you full?"
Fubao nodded happily, "Yeah, I'm full, my belly is bulging."
Fubao touched her round belly and said with a smile.
"Now that we are full, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be dark soon and we won't be able to catch up with the next stop."
Wan Laoer looked at Jia Yanbing and said.
"We haven't settled the money yet, don't you want the money anymore?" Jia Yanbing's words brought Wan Laoer back to the point of focusing on money.
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at my poor memory. I almost forgot something so important. So let's go and pay the money right away."
Wan Laoer still doesn’t know what price Jia Yanbing sold these sheep for?
