In the winter pastures of Kazakh herders, cattle and sheep foraging in the snow move restlessly.

The air smells of cow and sheep dung in the cold wind, fresh and natural.

After Han Wen got out of the car, he did several chest expansion exercises in a row.

He looked up at the clear sky, took a deep breath of clean air, and said with emotion: "Brother, don't say it, when I arrived here, my heart seemed to be at peace all of a sudden. ”

Miao Miao also stretched her arms, kicked her legs, and looked around at the winter pastures of the herdsmen in Piyazi Village.

This was his first visit to the winter pasture in Akbai.

Not to mention, this winter pasture is quite large.

To the south are five neat piles of corn stalks, as well as a lot of turquoise alfalfa grass.

The winter sun is not as strong as the summer sun, but it is still warm and warm on people.

In front of the two brick houses, an iron nail was nailed half a meter high on the outer wall to the east of the door, on which hung a large handful of alfalfa grass tied with a plastic rope.

A pure black lamb stood by the door grazing, slightly curled wool, like a little black teddy.

The hanging alfalfa grass is still tinged with green, and the black lamb is eating the nutritious alfalfa grass.

Han Wen asked curiously, "Brother, why is this lamb grazing here alone?" ”

Miao Miao squatted down and touched the little lamb who was very vigilant and dodged backwards, "The mother sheep may be dead, so Akbai will feed it alone." ”

At the warm invitation of Akbai, the three of them entered the brick house.

The house is cleaned and the utensils are well organized.

In one corner of the pit are neatly stacked bedding.

Sunlight filtered in through the bright window, shining brightly on a shiny milk teapot.

The hostess, who was feeding a thin white lamb with a bottle, saw a guest visiting, and hurriedly placed the lamb in the corner.

She walked to the door with a wash pot and quickly rinsed her hands.

Immediately, the hospitable hostess washed the hands of Miao Miao and the others.

Liu Li hugged the hostess in the way of Kazakh women's greetings and greeted the hostess in fluent Kazakh.

The hostess walked to the southeast corner and took out the food from the wooden cabinet to serve the guests.

After a while, there were Kazakh delicacies such as Baulsak on the kang table.

Liu Li pinched a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, which made people can't help but be full of relish.

The three took off their shoes, sat cross-legged on the kang, and drank the milk tea brought by the hostess.

Han Wen pointed to the white lamb lying on the ground at the base of the wall, "Brother, this little lamb also has no mother, right?" ”

Miao Miao looked at the thin and weak lamb and guessed, "It seems that this lamb has only been born for a few days, and its mother has either died of dystocia, or it is sick, and Akbai specially put it in a hot room to feed." ”

Liu Li, who had finished communicating with the Akbai couple in Kazakh, took a sip of milk tea and said to the curious Hangul: "This lamb is weak, and Akbai is afraid that it will die of illness, so he feeds it with milk." This year, the sheep in Ningxi have become sheep concubines, and the price is good, and the herdsmen take care of these little lambs as their own children. ”

Liu Li is a simple person, put down the tea bowl, went straight to the point, and became a translator.

Akbar proposed that each sheep weighs 17 kilograms, the meat weighs about 15 kilograms, and the average price is only about 1,300 yuan each.

Han Wen shook his head and told the translator Liu Li, "Sister Liu, I can buy sheep for 1,300 yuan anywhere in the bazaar, and there is no need to go all the way to buy sheep that are not cheap." ”

Liu Li translated the words in Korean, and then translated Akbai's words, "Ikebay means, the sheep he breeds are all lambs from the spring of last year, and they are stocked in the winter pasture, not fattening sheep raised in the enclosure, the fattening sheep raised in the enclosure can be slaughtered in a few months, and the sheep he raises for a year before they are slaughtered, these free-range mutton meat is firm, the meat is fragrant and delicious, and there is no fattening sheep that smell and fishy smell." ”

Han Wen smiled and waved his hand, and said unceremoniously: "I understand all these truths, but I don't eat this kind of meat myself, I am facing consumers who spend less money to eat good meat." When consumers buy sheep nowadays, few people ask whether it is an organic sheep or a fattening sheep, as long as there is cheap mutton to eat, consumers want to be cheap. If Akbai is sold at an average price of 1,300 yuan, there is really no discount, I might as well go to the bazaar and buy a few if I want to. Besides, at the bazaar, I can choose sheep, and with him, I buy 120 sheep at once, pay the bill at once, or currency, there is nothing to choose, and it is all in my hands, and I take a lot of risks. ”

As the first secretary, Miao Miao stood from a neutral point of view and drank milk tea silently.

The buyer and seller, one is a herdsman in the village and the other is his brother-in-law.

Miao Miao can only be impartial.

He felt that Hanwen and Akbai had a point.

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable.

The two sides of the deal bargained fiercely.

For the sake of their own interests, they began to bargain with a base of 5 yuan.

Liu Li, who has a strong sense of responsibility, focused on translating word for word for the two of them.

After a period of verbal warfare, the buyer and seller finally reached an agreement.

Akbai wants to ensure the quality and weight of the sheep, and each sheep is traded at 1080 yuan.

Han Wen took out a deposit of 50,000 yuan from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Akbai, "I'll pull the sheep tomorrow morning." ”

After Liu Li finished translating, Ikebai nodded, "Ma Hu (okay)." ”

With a smile on his eyebrows, Ikebai began to count 50,000 yuan in cash.

He spat on his right thumb and forefinger, which were close together, and counted them one by one.

Han Wen said to him: "You just took it out of the bank, there is no need to count. ”

Miao Miao interrupted Hangul's words, "Forget it, Hangul, it's better to order it in front of you, so that the people's hearts can be steady." ”

He asked Liu Li, who started drinking milk tea, again, "Sister Liu, do you need to write an agreement?" ”

Liu Li, who acted as a translator for the buyer and seller, had a dry mouth and drank three small bowls of milk tea in one go.

She put down the milk tea bowl in her hand and replied crisply: "Write a simple agreement, signed by both parties, and it is binding." ”

As she spoke, Liu Li took out a blank piece of paper from her briefcase and wrote an agreement in Chinese and Kazakh.

Miao Miao looked at the Kazakh font on the white paper, and said in surprise: "Sister Liu, you can also write Kazakh?!" ”

Liu Li smiled lightly, "It's not that I was forced to learn in order to do a better job." Uyghur text, I will also order. ”

Looking at Liu Li's disapproving look, Miao Miao's eyes were full of admiration, and she arched her hand and said, "Sister Liu, I, Fu Miaomiao, really rely on you in the future." ”

On the way back to Piyazi Village, Han Wen sighed: "Brother, this year's mutton is not cheap, and they have all become sheep concubines." ”

"Yang Guifei can make the herdsmen of Piyazi Village rich, it's okay." Miao Miao smiled and quipped.

Han Wen pondered and said: "Brother, the mutton we sell is 2 yuan per kilogram lower than the market price, and these 120 sheep can only last for a month. ”

"Yes, though, quite a few are fattening sheep." Miao Miao told the truth.

Han Wen pleaded: "Brother, you have to do a favor, find some free-range sheep, don't run out of stock during the Spring Festival." ”

When Liu Li heard this, she said to Miao Miao: "Secretary Fu, this Ikebai has to sell a batch of sheep before the Spring Festival, so you can't buy his sheep." ”

Miao Miao wondered, "It's strange, this Ikebai sold these sheep at once, what should I do after the beginning of spring?" He wasn't going to sit back and eat. Recently, I found that many farmers and herdsmen in Piyazi Village have spare money and have bought cars, and this month they have increased by more than 30 cars. ”
