195 came to the steppe again
chatted with Li Shen for a while, and knew that Li Shen was very busy, so Wang Yuan took the initiative to leave.
Called Wu Qian, who was cramped and uneasy on the first floor, and the two left directly from the back door of the hotel.
"Let's go, find a place to eat."
"Okay, this time it's really thanks to you Xiaoyuan, last time I came by myself, people didn't care about me, and a little waiter's eyes grew to the top of his head and he didn't look at people with his eyes."
Wu Qian was full of resentment, and glanced at the restaurant while driving the ox cart around, thinking that it was just right not to eat here.
It's already noon, and the reason why Wang Yuan chooses not to eat here is also very simple, if he eats here, Li Shen probably doesn't want money, so he owes favors.
Favors are often the most difficult to return.
There's no need to owe favors for a meal.
The two went to a small restaurant in an ox cart, and after eating, they went to the cloth shop, and Wu Qian was full of excitement to buy some cloth:
"My daughter-in-law specially explained that she wanted to buy a few feet of cloth to make clothes, she didn't say what color to buy, Xiaoyuan, which do you think is better, blue or gray?"
"I don't know that."
Wang Yuan sat on the ox cart and smoked a cigarette, he felt that many women in this era were really skillful, not only could cook all kinds of food, but also made all kinds of clothes, all kinds of shoes, as well as sewing school bags, weaving scarves, gloves and so on.
There was no mobile phone in this era, but it was difficult to make a phone call in later generations.
In the end, Wu Qian asked for a few feet of gray fabric, which was dirty and inconspicuous, and he felt good, but when he got home, he still made his wife complain for a while - the money he bought was expensive, and the color was not good-looking.
After two days of preparation.
Wang Yuan took Li Yan, Li Ping, the little girl and the big white cat to the grassland to play.
There is only one teacher who teaches the little girl, and the teacher is sick, and the little girl is on vacation, and she also wants to go to the grassland to play, so they take her with her.
As for why she brought the cat, the little girl was crying, making trouble and rolling around to bring the cat, the most important thing was that Li Yan also helped to intercede, and Wang Yuan took it with a soft heart.
But when he arrived at the train station, he regretted it a little, looked at the crowded train station, and then looked at the little girl with a cloth bag on her back and said:
"It's really nonsense, how many people are there, right? The cat in your bag might be crushed into a cat cake."
"Poof~"
Li Yan took the little girl in her arms: "I'll protect her, let's go quickly, there will be more people later."
"Okay, follow me."
If there is a hole, it is not only from the car door to get into the car, but also people climb over the heads of the crowd, drill through the window, and for a while angry scolding is everywhere, and many people who are anxious are sweating profusely.
It is common to use bags of baggage or fertilizer to pack things, and there are even people who carry baskets to the car, and I don't know whose kettle hit, and the broken kettle is scattered all over the ground.
The chaotic scene is a bit of a fight with the Indian railway station of later generations.
There is no queue at all, barbarism, violence, whoever has the most strength can have the advantage.
Wang Yuan's strength is quite big, regardless of the scolding of the people around him, he directly took Li Yan and them to squeeze inside, and the big white cat looked out carefully in the cloth bag, and was so frightened that he really had a stress reaction.
It was much better to get into the train.
I was relieved to find a seat, and then leisurely watched other people squeeze the train in a hurry, the happiness was often contrasted, and they felt much more relaxed when they saw the miserable appearance of other people.
Wang Yuan took the enamel jar to fetch the water, came back and gave it to Li Yan, and Li Ping drank it together.
The little girl was checking the big white cat in the cloth bag, and was relieved to see that the cat had not been squeezed flat.
"Brother-in-law, isn't the HLBE prairie very beautiful in summer? Isn't it?"
Li Ping was like a chatterbox, she was very excited when she was about to go to the distance, and she was talking vigorously.
"Yes, it's really beautiful~ I think a little bit that Xiao Suhe and the dog don't have their foreheads."
reversed the train several times, then took the car, and finally took the motorcycle to solicit passengers, waiting for Wang Yuan and his party to come
By the time I arrived at Xiao Suhe's house, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon two days later.
The endless prairie is very beautiful, the blue sky is low in the distance, the white clouds are blooming, the white sheep are grazing on the grassland, and the small river like the jade belt in the distance constitutes a beautiful picture.
A gentle breeze blows, and the air is mixed with the scent of flowers and grass.
Seeing the motorcycle carrying Wang Yuan and his party coming, the thin Lakshen jumped up excitedly, turned his head and excitedly called Xiao Su to join them.
"Wangwang~"
The dog ran over with the other dogs with his forehead uneven, first barking with hostility, and then wagging his tail immediately after seeing Wang Yuan clearly.
"Wang Yuan! I thought you would be able to come over today, and sure enough!"
Xiao Suhe was cleaning up sheep dung in the sheepfold just now, and happily ran over to greet Wang Yuan and them.
Lao Suhe, Wu Rina, Tuya and others also came, everyone was beaming, the joy of reuniting friends after a long absence rippled, Li Yan excitedly hugged Xiao Suhe's wife Tuya.
Tuya's face is very beautiful, but the skin exposed to the wind and sun on the grassland is inevitably a little rough, and there are some small freckles on the right side of the face.
It's a little rusty that I haven't seen each other for so long, but after chatting in the yurt for a while, we got acquainted.
At night, it was still an authentic roasted whole sheep, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the grassland, Wang Yuan rode a horse and drove the sheep back with Xiao Suhe.
"Baa~"
The adult sheep are more honest, occasionally barking a few times, and meekly walking back with the large army.
Some of the newborn lambs are very naughty, jumping around with their heads tilted and occasionally pushing other lambs.
Wang Yuan rode his horse leisurely, and looked forward to see his wife Li Yan cooking with Tuya and them, the flames of dried cow dung were jumping, and the smoke was rising.
Looking eastward, you can see the remnants of the vast Great Xing'an Mountains.
"Xiao Suhe, how many sheep are there in the pasture now?"
"1,026 heads, there are two sheep that will have calves in the next few days, and then there will be more sheep."
Xiao Suhe rode a horse on the left, and waved his whip excitedly, now his life is much better than before, and when he has money, he can buy more originally scarce living materials, and even the yurt can be repaired better.
"Wang Yuan, are you going to leave with some sheep this time?"
"You can bring it."
The working capital of the ranch is not much, and selling some sheep can also return some funds, in fact, sheep can be sold in a few months, and half a large sheep can be used.
When the sheep is old, the meat is likely to become old, and it will not be so tasty, but it will have to eat a lot of forage.
"What's the price of the live sheep here?"
"This 8 mao 2 ~ 9 mao 5 a catty, the smaller, more tender and more expensive, the old sheep and thin sheep will be cheaper." Xiao Su looked at Wang Yuan with closed eyes, and he wanted to know what price Wang Yuan could give.
The rays of the setting sun sprinkled on his back, gilding it with a layer of gold.
Wang Yuan groaned slightly, live sheep in Wangjiatun are generally 1.5 yuan ~ 1.6 yuan a catty, 2 ~ 2.5 yuan a pound in Harbin City, and more expensive in Yanjing.
Even in the same province, the provincial capital city is much more expensive than the rural areas below.
"2 yuan a catty, you don't need to distinguish between old sheep and young sheep, it's all 2 yuan a catty."
"Huh?"
Xiao Suhe was stunned, it can't reach this price in the big city HLBE, and it is only about 1.3~1.5 yuan a pound in the city.
"This, this, this...... Won't you lose money at such a high price?" Xiao Suhe is still very realistic, and he feels that he can't let Wang Yuan lose money.
"Haha, don't worry, although the price is high, it still won't lose money, and besides, the ranch also has my shares, and I make more money when the ranch makes more money."
The meat yield of live sheep is generally about 30%~55%, and the meat yield of sheep raised in this ranch is about 40%~50%, of course, not only the mutton is valuable, but also the sheepskin, sheep and so on can be sold
Money.
In particular, sheepskin is very effective as a coat to protect against the cold, and is loved by people who live in cold places.
There are a lot of sheep on this side of the grassland, and the transportation is very inconvenient, so the local price will be much lower.
After driving the sheep back to the sheepfold and closing the fence gate, the two went to the cowshed again, and there were only about 20 cows in total, which was much less than Wang Yuan thought.
"Moo~"
Some cows are lying on the ground and ruminating, some are standing next to them and flicking their tails to drive away gadfly, and some are eating forage. A calf jumped up and down, tilted its head and ran to the railing of the cowshed, staring at Wang Yuan with big watery eyes.
Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to touch its head, but before his hand touched her head, the calf jumped away.
Wang Yuan laughed instantly, whether it was a lamb or a calf, they were as lively and cute as children, and they were very fun.
"There are too few cows, why don't you raise more cows? Beef is more expensive than mutton."
The price of beef in 1990 was sky-high, and the beef in Harbin cost more than 6 yuan a catty, and some state-owned enterprise workers could not earn 6 yuan a day.
The income of regular workers in state-owned enterprises is already above the middle in the local area, and the unemployment rate in this era is also very high, and people who have no jobs or occasionally do odd jobs abound, and their incomes are very low.
Although Wang Yuan is very rich, he also understands the actual situation of ordinary people, and many ordinary families are reluctant to eat a meal of beef for 10 or even 20 years.
It's not that I can't afford that money, but I think it's better to buy more pork or chicken to eat.
"I remember that sheep gnaw grassroots, cows don't gnaw grass roots, right?"
"Yes, sheep do gnaw grassroots." Xiao Suhe scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "The cow is too expensive, and if you die, you will lose too much money, and the sheep will not be like this."
"Huh? What is the reason for that?"
Wang Yuan felt that Xiao Suhe and the others were still too timid and cautious, so that they were afraid that they would lose too much money if they died a cow.
Li Yan and the others made dinner, and Wang Yuan and the others went back to the yurt to eat mutton together.
A friend came from afar to make Xiao Suhe's family very happy all day, and now they are enthusiastically pouring milk wine for Wang Yuan and them, and serving the soup stewed with lion's mane mushrooms.
Wang Yuan ate delicious mutton, drank milk wine, and chatted with Lao Suhe.
Li Yan and Li Ping were mainly eating, listening to Wang Yuan chatting or chatting quietly with Wu Rina and Tuya next to them.
The little girl is concentrating on cooking, she feels that the mutton here tastes different from the mutton roasted at home.
"Meow~"
The big white cat wagged the tip of its tail and arched the little girl with its big fluffy head, and soon got two pieces of mutton to eat...... When it was full, it curled up next to the little girl and snored.
Xiao Suhe told Lao Suhe and Wu Rina about Wang Yuan's willingness to buy live sheep at a price of 2 yuan a catty, and the two of them were also very surprised, followed by gratitude.
Wang Yuan could have set the price lower, but now setting the price to 2 yuan a catty can also make the ranch make more money, which is equivalent to the old Suhe family making more money.
Wang Yuan talked about raising cattle again, and Lao Suhe also promised to raise more cattle after groaning slightly, but in this way, there would be no dividends, and the money earned from selling sheep would be invested in the pasture.
"Thousands of acres of pasture are still too small, whether it is cooperative shareholding or buying with money, it is still necessary to make the ranch bigger.
As long as it doesn't exceed the capacity of the pasture, you can raise more people, and if you can't do the work, you can hire more people, and if you lack money, I can also provide some money.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars is still no problem, and if the equity is not moved, it will be regarded as if I lent it to the ranch."
Hundreds of thousands of yuan came out of Wang Yuan's mouth, it was so easy, Xiao Suhe wanted to ask Wang Yuan how much money he had, but he didn't ask if he felt that this kind of thing was not very good to ask.
The moonlight is bright and the stars are shining.
After eating and drinking tea for a while, everyone walked out of the yurt and began to enjoy the night view.
Looking up, the stars in the sky seemed very low, as if they could reach out and touch them, and the little girl stretched out her hand and jumped high: "Stars, so many stars."
"yes, it's beautiful~"
The breeze was blowing gently, and there was an occasional cow cry in the cowshed - "Moo~"
Uzhina glanced at the chatting people with a kind face, lowered her head and took an iron fork to turn the cow dung not far away, and picked out the dried cow dung so that she could make morning tea tomorrow morning.
The little girl was curious about everything, so she jumped up and down to Uzhina, squatted down and watched the latter turn over the cow dung: "Grandma Uzhina, why do you want to turn over these shitholes?"
"I'm going to make tea tomorrow."
Urina could barely understand what the little girl said, touched the little girl's pigtails, and instantly laughed kindly.
Dried cow dung is not very disgusting, there is a lot of crude fiber, and the smell is not too unpleasant.
Wang Yuan also looked over, looking at the cow dung, he suddenly remembered the cow deflated hot pot, but the cow deflated hot pot that some people eat seems to be cooked with cow dung.
Suddenly.
A shell lang who pushed the ball on the ground caught the attention of the dog's uneven forehead, and the dog yelled at the shell lang.
Wang Yuan and the others were attracted to attention, and they all looked over in an instant.
Xiao Su smiled and said, "Lang Shell Ball...... There are a lot of these little things on the grassland, and when I was a child, I used to carry a basket on my back to pick up cow dung, and if I picked it up late, the cow dung might have hollowed out these little things."
"Why is it hollowed out?"
"The skin of cow dung is hardened, and these little things can't dig the skin, so they dig inside."
After chatting outside for a while, everyone went to sleep, and in the middle of the night, Wang Yuan, who was in a daze, was suddenly awakened by a wolf howl.
"Wow~~~"
