Xu Feng's words reminded Xu Ning, and Xu Ning quickly packed the grain into boxes and sprinkled rat and ant repellent powder nearby.
After putting this one away, Xu Ning continued to look for many small holes to store food.
Until the treasure chest became too empty to bear, and reminded Xu Ning that if he didn't go to town, he would not be able to buy any cow hair.
Xu Ning also breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xu Yuan to drive the carriage to the town quickly.
Xu Ning did not go directly to the market, but went directly to find Hai Qing.
As a result, Hai Qingzhen knew a group of businessmen who needed to process beef and mutton.
It is said that this merchant came from a distant prairie, and there was no drought in Daqing Dynasty when he set out.
He brought this batch of cattle and sheep all the way south, and in several cities he passed by, people were interested in taking his cattle and sheep.
But he soon discovered that the further south he went, the more fertile the grass and water became, and the higher the prices of cattle and sheep became.
Finally, he made up his mind and continued south to Shanglu County. He then found someone to negotiate a price, but a sudden drought hit the north and a moderate flood occurred in the south, causing his cattle and sheep to be infected with diseases and many died.
The deal that had been agreed upon fell through, and later someone wanted to buy his remaining cattle and sheep at a low price, but he refused to do so because he would lose money if he lowered the price.
"How much does he have left?"
"There are probably still fifty or sixty left." Hai Qing estimated a number.
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look together!" Xu Ning thought, it would be great to make these cattle and sheep into jerky!
Hai Qing had no objection. Originally, he was willing to help out and buy a few heads to take back, but later the guy became more and more stubborn. If he wanted to buy his cattle and sheep, he had to buy all of them!
As a result, he hasn’t sold a single cow or sheep to date! Many people say he’s gone crazy!
The businessman's surname was Feng. When Xu Ning saw him, she almost thought she had come to the wrong place.
Hai Qing hadn't seen him for a while, and when she saw Feng Lun again, she almost didn't recognize him.
Feng Lun rented a yard from a farmer, living in the front yard and raising cattle and sheep in the back yard. The yard was quite far from the village, and Xu Ning and others heard the cries of cattle and sheep before they even entered.
When Xu Ning, his three companions and Hai Qing arrived, Feng Lun, with an unshaven beard and disheveled clothes, was carrying a bundle of grass bigger than himself and walking to the backyard to feed the pigs.
"Brother Feng?!" Hai Qing called out hesitantly, but Feng Lun didn't hear him at all. Hai Qing was embarrassed for a moment and asked his servant to call out for him.
"Boss Hai?!" Feng Lun finally heard it, threw the grass in his arms, and walked out of the backyard with a big move.
Xu Ning had been observing. His yard was surrounded by bamboo fences in front and back. Except for the shed where the cattle and sheep rested at night and the two thatched houses where he lived with straw bales as walls, the rest of the yard was basically open and well ventilated.
Look at the cattle and sheep that are grazing diligently. They are all clean with shiny fur. You can tell at a glance that they are being well taken care of.
Xu Ning was very satisfied and felt that the higher price of such cattle and sheep was acceptable.
Feng Lun was also very happy. After hearing Hai Qing tell him that Xu Ning was interested in buying all his cattle and sheep, he grinned with his whitest teeth and warmly invited Xu Ning and the others into the house.
Feng Lun's front yard was much dirtier than the back yard. Xu Ning hesitated for a moment, but still went in.
Feng Lun took out his only set of tea sets, rinsed them properly with boiled water, and showed them the tea to Xu Ning and the others.
"Boss Feng, you're welcome. Just tell me how much you want for all these cattle and sheep." Xu Ning was still in a hurry to go home for dinner. She had a good idea. After buying them, she would slaughter one and take it back. She would let Feng Lun raise the others for a few days. When she found someone to do it, she would kill the rest and make them into dried meat.
But she didn't expect that the meat was extremely expensive!
"Miss Xu is straightforward! Well, I told you, sheep grow fast, so they should be cheaper than cattle. But sheep are delicate and get sick easily, so the price should be the same as beef! I've also agreed with Miss Xu that we have to weigh the whole thing, without removing the hair or anything like that. So, let's just give it a hundred coins per pound!"
"How much did you say?!" Xu Ning almost choked on his own saliva!
