Chapter 253: Buying Dairy Sheep (Second Shift)

"Who's home?"

"It's not our village, it's Liujia's family in Liujia Village, three or four miles away from us, and there are several sheep in his family, all of which are dairy sheep, but ...... The price of this sheep will definitely not be cheap!

I estimated that it would cost 189 yuan, or even 20 yuan, and a dairy sheep would cost 80 catties, or even 100 catties, and this money would be at least 1256 cents of silver. Luo Juan said.

Xia Qiqi sold bear paws for sixteen taels of silver, and later bought three acres of second-class fertile land in Yangshugou for nine taels.

She set up a stall with Lu Jiu before, and after removing the family's expenses, there were almost three taels of silver left.

The rich man Li gave five taels of silver for the design fee, but Yu Guixiang's birth fee, nutrition fee, and medicine money, she spent seven or seven eighty-eight, almost two taels of silver.

All added up, the family has a total of nine taels of silver.

Of these nine taels of silver, a part of it will be allocated to buy grain, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other things.

Look at a lot, once you use it, it's really not much.

In addition, everyone doesn't have spring and summer clothes, these are also an expense, and Ming'er went to Yujia Village to see her grandfather, if you should find Langzhong, you have to find Langzhong.

In addition, the four rooms are clean and out of the house, and the two acres of land are also overgrown with weeds.

Xia Qiqi suddenly felt that the pressure of survival was terrible.

However, no matter how much pressure she has, she must spend the money to buy dairy sheep for Xiao'er.

"Auntie, don't worry, we can bear it even if we grit our teeth! It's just that can you please take me for a trip in the afternoon, my sister has just eaten, and she won't be hungry for the time being, but at night, I'm afraid of ......"

Xia Qiqi didn't say the rest of the words.

Luo Juan is in love to accompany her on a trip, and it is her duty not to run with her, and she can't force others to do anything.

"Hey, look at what you kid said, what's the trouble! Although I am not your own aunt, in my heart, I regard you as a sister! You don't have to wait for the afternoon.

When I go back to the house and get two corn nests for lunch, let's go now!" Luo Juan said.

Xia Qiqi nodded excitedly.

She looked at Lu Jiu, "Ah Jiu, Xiao'er is sorry for you to take it back, she is still too young, it is not appropriate to carry it out and go too far!" ”

Lu Jiu nodded, and under Xia Qiqi's gaze, he hugged Xiaomi'er and ran in the direction of the fourth room of the Xia family.

After a while, Luo Juan came out of the house, took two nest heads, and brought two bamboo tubes.

The nest head and the bamboo tube were divided into Xia Qiqi, and he said to her: "The bamboo tube is new, you Uncle Lei Zi made it!" The nest is also hot, let's go! ”

"Yes!"

The two left the village and walked in the direction of Liujia Village.

Three or four miles, half an hour, that is, an hour.

By the time I arrived at Liujia Village, it had already passed lunchtime.

Xia Qiqi and Luo Juan finished eating Wotou at the entrance of the village, drank saliva, and entered the village.

I thought I was going to have a conversation with Liu Guizi, but I didn't think that as soon as Luo Juan proposed to buy Liu Guizi's milk sheep, he immediately agreed.

even said to the two, "My goat, I'm really ready to sell!" It's time for you to come, but I also have a rule that you are not responsible for the sheep you sell! ”

"Liu Guizi, what you said is not right, in case there is something wrong with that sheep, what can we do? A sheep is not cheap! Luo Juan said.

"Don't worry, I, Liu Guizi, have always been sincere, and I will never cheat you! If you don't worry, you can choose the sheep in my sheepfold! ”

Liu Guizi also said openly.

Xia Qiqi tugged at Luo Juan's sleeve, but still decided to take a look.

In the sheepfold in the backyard of Liu Guizi's house, there are a total of eight sheep, and they are not large-scale breeders.

It is estimated that it is to reduce the burden on the family.

However, the price of an adult sheep is really not cheap, and it is a live raising, Liu Guizi directly shouted the price of 20 Wen, and there is no room for negotiation.

In the sheepfold, it is clean and clean, there is no sheep feces, Liu Guizi should have been carefully taken care of!

Xia Qiqi walked around the sheepfold, and finally chose a black bottom and a large circle of white dairy sheep around his waist.

It is the most special of these sheep.

Look at it is also well-behaved, and it will not resist too much when it is pulled back to milk.

"That's it!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"This is estimated to be a hundred pounds, are you sure you want it??" Liu was stunned for a moment.

He thought that Xia Qiqi would pick a small dairy sheep at most, this dairy sheep was the king of sheep in his pigsty, he looked honest, but his temperament was fierce, and he couldn't stop it.

"That's it!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

Picking things is an eye, Xia Qiqi took a fancy to this sheep at a glance, so naturally he would not find another substitute!

"Little girl, uncle doesn't let you choose, this sheep has a strong temperament, and he has to eat a lot of grass every day, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it!" Liu Guizi said.

"And what about its milk?" Xia Qiqi asked.

"Milk production is naturally the most, but this goat milk smells of sheep, except for our daily sheep raising, who are used to smelling the smell, don't care, others may not be able to stand it!" Liu Guizi said.

"It's okay!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

She has a way to make the goat's milk not fat, but she can't tell Liu Guizi.

"Well, since you have to, I won't stop you! Let's weigh it first, weigh it, and you can take this little thing away after you pay the money! Liu Guizi said.

"Done!"

Liu Guizi called two men to help weigh the dairy sheep, and this scale was really a little more than a hundred catties.

That is, two taels of silver, Liu Guizi saw that he had earned so much, and when he was happy, he wiped the change.

Xia Qiqi paid the money and got the sheep, but in the bottom of his heart, he also had a pain in his heart.

At this time, there were only seven taels of silver left in the savings.

Worry about!

But thinking that her sister will have something to eat in the future, she is in a much better mood.

"Aunt Luo Juan, let's go back!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

There was no carriage, no ox cart, Xia Qiqi and Luo Juan had to lead the sheep back the same way.

On the way, the sheep still have to eat grass, this delay, half an hour of the road, forced out of an hour, twice as long.

When Xia Qiqi returned home, it was already afternoon.

She led the goat into the yard, and the two little girls, Hua'er and Duo'er, jumped up happily.

Even Xia Duoyue followed suit.

The three "dolls" pointed at the goat and screamed.

"Ah, it's a sheep, we have a sheep at home~" Six-year-old Xia Xiaoduo screamed happily.

Xia Xiaohua is a little older, but she can't stop being happy when she sees such a rare object as sheep.

"Qiqi, Qiqi......" Xia Duoyue came up and pointed to the sheep and called Xia Qiqi's name.

"This is to feed Xiao'er, with this sheep, Xiao'er won't go hungry!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

In the house, Lu Jiu and Xia Duofu, who heard the noise, also came out.

Xia Duofu looked at the dairy sheep, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Girls don't have to go hungry!" He said.

"Yes, but this goat's milk also needs to be squeezed out, and it can only be eaten by millet when it is hot, and it is best to find some almonds!"
