Su Fang explained, and asked curiously: "Why is it cheaper to weigh catties? A big sheep is about fifty catties at most, right? It can't be sold at the price of a catty." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Sheep's heads are expensive, and a single sheep's head can be sold for two or three taels in the town. Lin Tianming explained.

"There is also lamb leg meat, which is more expensive than other parts in terms of catties, costing 30 yuan, and some meat cases can be called 50 yuan, and internal organs and mutton bones can also be sold for some money. ”

"It turned out to be a decentralized sale. Su Fang nodded understandingly. On catties refers to the division of meat, not the weighing and selling of a live sheep. I also understand why the younger brother and mother both say that sheep is meat eaten by rich families.

According to her understanding, pork is much cheaper.

The cheapest part is ten wen a catty, such as pig water, tube bones, normal lean meat is twenty wen, and the best part is only thirty wen, such as pig trotters, pig heads, pork ribs, I haven't heard of fifty wen.

However, in these years, the wages of a helper are only 20 to 30 yuan a day, and who is willing to exchange a pound of pork for a day's hard work? Therefore, pork is also eaten less, but it is still much more common than mutton.

Moreover, it is very common for a pig to fatten up fat for two or three hundred catties, and it is impossible to sell it according to it, but the farmer's pig will only be sold to the butcher, and will not go to the case to divide the meat.

Therefore, it can not be calculated according to the market price, a pig is hungry all night and then weighed by catty, the weight is much lighter, and then the final money, that is, it is not divided into pig's head and pork legs, directly according to the price of meat.

Therefore, if you can calculate the luck of fifteen wen and one catty, it is generally calculated according to twelve wen. A pig is sold at the end, according to the weight of the difference is two taels to four taels of the market, can be sold to five taels of money even if it makes a lot of money.

For five taels of silver, you can buy a good big sheep, but a big sheep does not have a hundred catties, and its physique is far worse than that of a pig. This is also the reason why farmers do not follow the trend and raise sheep.

They still believe that the demand for pork is more stable and more stable, the sheep are not fat, and the people who eat them are also in the minority, so raising sheep is risky. And pigs don't have to be released, and they don't have to consume a single labor.

Su Fang glanced at Su Lin, who was walking towards them through the vegetable field, and said, "Then I want to buy a ram, three ewes, two smaller ewes to raise slowly, and one big one to be able to milk." ”

Ten taels of silver to be able to buy four sheep, presumably my father and mother are willing to grit their teeth. Besides, it may be possible to raise a few lambs for a while, and the flock will be earned by that time.

If you want to make a fortune, you must first make money, and if you want to make money, you must first find a business opportunity that suits you.

"Well, let your father repair the sheepfold tomorrow, and I'll help you pick it in two days, Changning's feet are not good yet, and it's a bit hard to mow the grass by relying on pear blossoms alone, so it's better to be two days late." Lin Tianming thought about it and proposed.

"Okay, my injuries are almost healed two days later, and then I will go for a walk outside the village to see where the grass is fertilized. Su Fang nodded in agreement and said with a smile.

Her smile was very bright, even under this bright starry sky, it was still very dazzling, and it was a dazzling that was different from what he had ever seen, Lin Tianming almost couldn't take his eyes off it.

But the sound of footsteps behind him made him have to look away and said: "The grass on the hillside west of the village is fertile, you can also bring the sheep over and graze them directly, and you can also pull some pigweed back." ”

She and her three younger siblings just happened to be able to lead a sheep each, and the picture must be very interesting. But he wouldn't tell her that his home was on the hillside west of the village.

"Fang'er!" Su Lin walked over and asked with a smile, "Have you told Tianming about buying sheep?"

In order to give the girl and her son-in-law more opportunities to talk, Su Lin's walked very slowly, but she didn't know that her daughter and son-in-law were very fine, and she was found as soon as she got out of the pigpen alley.

"Well, sure enough, it's right to ask Brother Tianming, he is still familiar with the sheep of the Li Si family and knows the price. ”

Su Fang immediately took two steps forward and grabbed her mother's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mother, Brother Tianming and I just calculated, buying a big ram, a big ewe, and two little ewes may only be enough for ten taels of silver." ”

"Ten! Ten taels!" Su Lin glared at Su Fang in fright, and said anxiously, "Fang'er, don't you just buy one for your sister to raise, and then squeeze some goat's milk to drink?"

"Mother, listen to me. Su Fang hurriedly analyzed her thoughts to the ancient people's mother, "We are buying four sheep now, but in the near future, there will be more sheep in our family." ”

"How is that possible!" Surin didn't believe it.

"Mother......" Su Fang was suddenly embarrassed and explained in a low voice, "So I have to buy three ewes, so I can give birth faster and more." ”

"Yes, we can breed at home, and we don't have to buy it again after buying it once. Su Lin, who had raised pigs, then understood, "Then why do you want to buy three ewes? It is enough to buy one male and one female." ”

Anyway, there will be lambs in the future, so why spend a few taels of silver now?

"The three are born faster, and besides, this is not a matter of birth, who knows whether it is a male or a female, and what if the life is a ram?" Su Fang asked rhetorically.

After Su Fang finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that Lin Tianming was still here, and she actually discussed the issue of ram and ewe breeding with her mother here......

She glanced at Lin Tianming with a little blush, and reminded: "Brother Tianming, it's not early, you better go back and rest quickly, my family still needs your help after repairing the sheepfold." ”

"Well said. Auntie, I'll go first. Lin Tianming was indeed a little embarrassed, if Su Lin was not present, he would be happy to listen to the little girl talk about this kind of thing, and by the way, discuss the problem after they got married.

But the mother-in-law came, so he had better withdraw quickly.

Watching Lin Tianming's tall back walk through the vegetable garden towards the back door, Su Fang couldn't help but pout, thinking that it would be not bad to marry a man with a strong boyfriend.

Although she is not a little bird and a person, she also hopes that there will be a man around her who can make her feel like a "little bird and a person".

But judging from the performance just now, this man is actually not as honest as he imagined, he is very secretive.

And just now she teased him so much, he actually enjoyed it very calmly, not frightened at all, nor displeased.

Twenty-six-year-old uncle, he has experience, right? used to this kind of flirting? or ...... Su Fang suddenly shook her head a little unhappily, and her face fell.

Although she "Ling Xing" has also seen the world, but at the moment this body is a simple white radish, if she is arched by an experienced uncle, it will be too much of a loss.

"Fang'er, although you are not happy, but my mother still has to say, it is enough to buy a ram and a ewe, and the extra silver money really should not be spent in vain, what a waste. ”

Su Lin thought that her daughter's sudden collapse of her little face was not happy with her stopping, and continued to persuade.
