Wang Lanling went to the outside of the city to see the situation, and when he left the city, he saw a large area of livestock gathered near the city wall, and the ground and the nearby grass were dirty and messy by these cattle, sheep and camels.

The most are sheep, and there are very few cows, horses, and camels.

"My lord, you are here, it stinks here, do you want to go to the city tower to watch?"

Bu Gong saw Wang Lanling coming, and walked over quickly to say hello.

Wang Lanling looked at the flock of sheep in the distance and walked over.

"I'll take a casual look, how are things going here?"

Bugong said: "Hu Guiqiao, they sorted in the house, saying that they were distributed in order, and some of the ones who sold their strength at the beginning were given good ones, and more were given." ”

"Now a lot of people have come, Tong Yue and the others also went to the countryside last night to inform them from door to door, and all the Zhuangzi and villages also know about it."

When Wang Lanling heard this, he approached the caravan in Muzhou.

There were a few Jin people in the family, and when Wang Lanling came out, he asked them if they wanted to come together, and in the end, only Jin Da and Jin Ji were willing to come and have a look.

Jin people don't have any special ideas about their hometown, just like the people of this era have the same concept of the country.

Although it is a great unification, the people of Yunzhou do not have the concept of Yunzhou, they are just people scattered in various villages, counties and towns.

On the contrary, the Shanzhou people and the Muzhou people have a very collective concept, and the blood feud between the two sides has strengthened the condensation of their respective cluster forces in a certain sense.

Yunzhou people don't think that Yunzhou people have anything to do with themselves, but Shanzhou people think that they are insulting themselves because others insult Shanzhou people.

The people of Shanzhou and Muzhou are extremely grouped, especially in the face of external pressure.

However, the Muzhou people do not all refer to the local people of Muzhou, and the composition is very mixed, including the Jin people and the rest of the alien races, as well as exiled criminals and meritorious pioneers, as well as the army guarding the frontier.

Jin people don't have much nostalgia for their hometown, the place where they live is a lawless place where all kinds of heroes are rampant, and they just have been comfortable here for a while in Wang Lanling, so they naturally don't want to go back.

Here, because of Wang Lanling's relationship, no one discriminates against them, and they can also go to the street to buy some things, see the scenery, and don't worry about others harming them when they are on the street.

With a peculiar hair color and appearance, it is easy to attract the attention of others.

Wang Lanling saw the red-haired Muzhou people, those people's hair was very long, up to the waist, and they were called red-haired ghosts on the side of the Shanzhou people.

Red-haired people are rare in this world, but they are not uncommon.

The people of the caravan also noticed Wang Lanling and the Jin man behind him.

Hu Zhong walked over quickly and said, "Director Wang, our shepherd guard has taken people to the north to buy food, and we will come back later." ”

Wang Lanling knew that this person was Hu Zhong, and said: "I just came to take a look, are the cattle, sheep and camels here all sold?" ”

Hu Zhong explained: "They are all sold, except for the horses, carts and camels we rode when we went back, and all other livestock were sold. ”

Wang Lanling looked at the sheep in the distance and said strangely: "There are goats over there, I thought that the grasslands in Muzhou were all sheep." ”

Hu Zhong saw that Wang Lanling didn't know this, so he explained in detail: "There are both goats and sheep, there are fewer goats and more sheep. ”

Wang Lanling asked, "Goats eat meat, and sheep are used for clothes, right?" ”

Hu Zhong shook his head quickly, "No, we mainly eat things made from cow and goat milk, we mainly eat grain, if we don't have guests at home, we won't kill sheep and eat meat." ”

Wang Lanling wanted to ask what to do with the sheep that died, but soon thought that this kind of thing was not a good thing for the poor, and he would definitely not be as happy as a child when he ate meat.

I guess I was crying and cooking.

Thinking of this possibility, Wang Lanling said: "Then let's kill a few sheep to make a delicious meal, even if you invite me, I will let people prepare some wine, food and spices as gifts." ”

Wang Lanling was a little sympathetic to these people, and quickly said to Jin Da again: "Jin Da, go to the city to buy ten barrels of wine, three hundred catties of sauce, and let people send things over before noon." ”

Jin Da quickly said: "Okay! ”

Hu Zhong didn't expect Wang Lanling to be so arrogant and prosperous for so long, and it was the first time he had seen such a generous young man.

Although I know that Wang Lanling is very rich, but now Wang Lanling is squandering a lot of money, which is simply too rich!

Three hundred catties of sauce is a very good food for caravan personnel who travel long distances, and the seasoning in the border area is not cheap, and the food is relatively simple.

Hu Zhong immediately asked his men to slaughter sheep and make a fire, preparing to entertain Wang Lanling here.

Wang Lanling didn't understand a lot of things, and after finding a box and sitting down, he said to Hu Zhong: "Sit down and talk, you brought so many sheep here, are these cattle and sheep on the road obedient?" Are there any that get lost? ”

Hu Zhong sat down and said: "I don't know the specifics, basically not, the people in the team are all veterans, and they know what to pay attention to." ”

Wang Lanling thought of his goats, "The goats here in Heishui County are quite big, but they are a little stupid, they often get lost, and they don't know the way." ”

Hu Zhong explained: "It's a goat, goats and sheep are relatively stupid, in the summer in order to avoid mosquitoes will often run to the headwind place, no one to lead the easy to run away, our herdsmen often ride horses to find those lost sheep, generally before the sun sets to count the sheep, otherwise it is not safe to find in the dark." ”

It is not only the beasts that are dangerous, but also some active crowds.

What happened in Muzhou was quite unusual for Wang Lanling, who had never been to the grassland.

He looked at the Muzhou people who were about to kill the sheep again, and found that several men had caught a sheep.

"Isn't it better to eat meat, isn't it better to eat goats? Wool for sheep. ”

Hu Zhong also glanced over there, and said with some uncertainty: "We are all goats and sheep over there, and they can make clothes out of their wool, and if they eat, they are used by sheep to eat, and there may be some differences here, if adults like it, I will let people kill goats and eat meat." ”

Wang Lanling said: "No, no, no, it's not a matter of liking it or not, we are mostly goats here, so we don't have to choose, generally speaking, goat meat or sheep meat is delicious?" ”

Hu Zhong said affirmatively: "Sheep meat is more delicious." ”

"Then sheep." Wang Lanling chose this.

Hu Zhong saw that Wang Lanling was curious about the sheep, so he told Wang Lanling about the difference between sheep and goats.

The male son is docile and stupid, and although the goat is not smart, he has a lively personality and can be the leader of the sheep in the flock.

When encountering wolves, the lazy and cowardly sheep will only huddle together with each other, and they will not have the ability to escape.

Goats, on the other hand, know to avoid danger and can run away with their flocks.

It is worth mentioning that sheep and goats cannot be crossed with each other, there is obvious reproductive isolation, and no offspring can be born.

They didn't have much cattle, and the main fuel was sheep dung, which was mixed with sheep and goat manure to make fuel.

Just like briquettes, people on the prairie have a lot to do every day, and it's not just sitting there for a day.

The men herded their cattle and fought with the rest of the tribe for pasture and water to defend against wild beasts and bandits.

Women and children make food, fuel, clothing, take care of cows, sheep and young, and basically most of the daily necessities need to be made and maintained by themselves.

In the era when there were many guns and cannons everywhere, when they could not survive, these people could only go to the city to sell their livestock and even the population at a low price.

Wang Lanling listened to what Hu Zhong said to Muzhou, but he also had his own way of thinking.

After looking around for a while, Wang Lanling discovered the reason.

There are fewer goats here, and there are more than three times as many sheep as goats, so it is a natural choice to eat more sheep.

Mu Sheng soon came back with someone shopping, and after knowing that Wang Lanling was going to have lunch here, he quickly took off his coat and acted as the chef himself.

Wang Lanling asked Jin Da Jin Ji to look at it, so he learned the mutton rice, roasted whole sheep, honey-fried lamb shank, mutton stick egg soup and other crafts in Muzhou.

Forget the last one, Wang Lanling refuses to drink, there is a first time and a second time in this matter, Wang Lanling will not start this.

I think that at the beginning, Wang Lanling gave Wang Lanfeng the big tonic wine sent by Du Sheng's father, and he drank a child.

Wang Lanling refused to drink it, and he would definitely get angry after drinking it.

While slowly nibbling on the roast leg of lamb, Wang Lanling also said: "I have already informed my family and will give you half of the deposit now." ”

Wang Lanling looked at Jin Ji, and after Jin Ji put a stack of 20,000 yuan of paper and pen on the table, he continued: "Here are 20,000 yuan, you take it first to purchase some things, and I will give you the rest of the money after the transaction is over, or you can exchange it for the materials you need." ”

"Although I am doing business, I also treat you as friends, as much as you want, don't take advantage of me, and don't let yourself suffer."

Mu Sheng looked at Wang Lanling solemnly, "Thank you!" ”

Wang Lanling said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, also help me choose two healthy camels and cattle, sheep and foals, I want to raise something at home." ”

"Good!" The shepherd also smiled and agreed, these are small things. Wang Lanling used to like to keep some pets, but after raising them, he felt very annoying to keep them at home, and the chickens and ducklings raised at home were eaten up when they grew up.

Anyway, it is not Wang Lanling himself who raises chickens and ducks.

In order to eat his own fruits, Wang Lanling bought several acres of orchards, but did not eat a few fruits in a summer.

Now I feel that there are a lot of camels, cattle and sheep, so I naturally want to raise some, and I don't think about the hard work of taking care of these cattle, sheep and camel people.

Sheep, goats, Bactrian camels, Shepherd Red Bull, two foals, one black and one white, and two mountain dogs......

There is a kind of dog with smooth fur like the size of a lamb in Muzhou, which runs fast, barks loudly, and has a stronger body than ordinary earth dogs, which is called mountain dogs by Muzhou people.

The mountain dog is not because it is a dog in the mountains, but because it is a dog, and the Muzhou people and the Shanzhou people are the blood feud of the times, so they are called mountain dogs.

Similarly, the people of Shanzhou also have sheepdogs that manage black goats.

Shepherd and mountain dog are actually the same type of dog...... (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
