Xu Ning is rich, but she is not a sucker!
Although beef is hard to buy, it does not mean that it is unavailable. If you pay a little more and are willing to wait, you can buy those sick and old cows that are being sold.
Moreover, those were oxen for draft, worth at most ten taels of silver each, and excluding the fur, they were only worth at most forty or fifty coins per pound. His were not oxen for draft, but beef cattle raised specifically for eating, and could not be used for farming.
Xu Ning originally thought that the most expensive thing would be the price of a draft ox, but unexpectedly, it was more than doubled, and even mutton was the same price!
Xu Ning looked at Hai Qing with disbelief in her eyes. It turned out that Hai Qing really did not lie to her. Could Feng Lun really be crazy?
It's one thing that he raises cattle and sheep well, but you can't ask for such an outrageous price, right?
And, this is a fixed price?
Feng Lun knew what Xu Ning was thinking from the look on his face. "My cattle and sheep eat the freshest grass, drink the cleanest water, and their meat is top-notch. I only agreed to this price because you were introduced by Boss Hai."
Hai Qing nodded to Xu Ning. The reason why he had never dared to tell Xu Ning the price was that this guy had asked for an even higher price.
Xu Ning forced a professional fake smile and asked the treasure chest in her sea of consciousness, "Is beef and mutton from other places half as expensive as this?"
After receiving a negative answer, Xu Ning understood.
"Boss Feng, let's not be unfair. Since you say your beef and mutton are good, then kill one and eat it. If it's really good, I'll buy it all. Hey! Just listen to me first. You're just telling me how good your beef and mutton are, but how can I know if I haven't eaten them? I won't let you suffer a loss. If it's really delicious! I'll buy it all right away and pay for it right away! What do you think?"
Someone had said this to Feng Lun before, but that person was a liar. He ate the meat and ran away, and spread the word that his cattle and sheep tasted bad. Feng Lun was so angry that he went to his house to argue, only to find out that the person was hired because he blocked someone else's financial path.
This is another reason why Feng Lun insisted on going south, as the market in the north had long been occupied.
Feng Lun looked at Hai Qing, and Hai Qing explained: "Don't worry, if Miss Xu is satisfied, she will definitely buy your cattle and sheep. If she is not satisfied, this one will be mine."
"No need, Boss Hai, I agree!" Feng Lun said to Xu Ning. Xu Ning's eyes were clear, different from those scammers before.
And she is still a young girl. The fact that Hai Qing can give her so much face shows that she is definitely not an empty shell.
Feng Lun is a good hand at raising cattle and sheep, and he is also a good hand at slaughtering them.
Xu Ning selected a beef cattle, and Feng Lun pulled it to the front yard, knocked it unconscious, and then cut its neck to let the blood out.
After all the blood from the cow had been drained, Feng Lun took his knife and cut the whole cow into neat pieces of different sizes in less than a quarter of an hour.
For the first time, Xu Ning discovered that watching people skinning a cow could be a real pleasure!
"Boss Feng, you are really good at this!" Xu Ning praised Feng Lun without hesitation.
"Hey! On the grassland, I have killed at least nine hundred cows! I have been doing this job since I was a child!" In Feng Lun's hometown, almost every household makes a living by herding, and they basically know how to kill cattle and sheep since childhood.
Sometimes when we go to the market, we have to kill several of them at a time, and sometimes we can kill hundreds of them in a day!
Of course, he didn't kill alone, but his whole family did!
That was also Feng Lun’s happiest time.
Unfortunately, there is no going back.
Feng Lun picked out the most tender beef tenderloin from the cut meat and handed it to the servant brought by Hai Qing. "This piece of meat is the most tender. It tastes good whether grilled or stir-fried. Boss Hai, please cook as you wish."
"Half roasted, half fried!" Hai Qing turned her gaze to Xu Ning, who arranged it without saying a word.
"Do as Miss Xu says!"
"Yes." Hai Qing's people borrowed Feng Lun's kitchen, and soon two plates of meat were served.
