Chapter 262: Batur
Soon, several large plates full of lamb chops were served.
The crowd was already hungry, and when they saw such a steaming lamb chop, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhao Zhuo looked at everyone's expressions, smiled slightly and said:
"I know you all have a lot of food, just shake off your cheeks and eat today, let's continue to eat after eating, in short, this first meal in Highland Castle, you must eat enough mutton!"
Hearing this, everyone laughed, and they were no longer polite, and they picked up the meat and gnawed on it.
Zhao Zhuo also picked up a piece of lamb ribs and ate it relatively elegantly.
Authentic grassland mutton is indeed worthy of its reputation, and Zhao Zhuo found out after tasting it that although this meat did not have any seasonings other than salt, it had no smell at all, and even had a grassy fragrance. And the meat quality of this meat is very firm, chewy, and not chewy, and the taste is just right.
Facts have proved that the figure of two catties per person is still a bit too conservative.
In fact, Zhao Zhuo alone ate a full two catties of lamb chops alone!
As for those veterans-born drivers, that's not to mention, two catties are simply not enough.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo waved his big hand, and it was not a few catties per person, and he ate while eating.
Half an hour later, everyone sat on the chairs with their bellies pat their bellies, and one by one they showed satisfied expressions.
And by this time, a group of people had eaten a whole table of bones.
Zhao Zhuo smiled and looked around:
"Everyone's fed?"
Everyone nodded:
"I'm full."
"I'm so satisfied with what I ate this time, I guess I won't want to eat mutton again for a month."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, it turns out that eating mutton is such an experience."
Everyone nodded and said.
Seeing such a scene, Zhao Zhuo also nodded slightly, and then stood up and went to check out.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
plus Zhao Zhuo's twelve people, a total of fifty catties of lamb chops!
Such a large amount of food made Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but be amazed at these drivers under his command.
Sure enough, you can eat it if you can do it, and that's not wrong at all.
After eating, Zhao Zhuo was about to leave with everyone, when suddenly a middle-aged man dressed as a herdsman came to Zhao Zhuo's side.
Zhao Zhuo didn't react to what was going on, and the middle-aged man had already stretched out his hand:
"Hello, brother."
Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo shook hands with the man inexplicably, and then asked suspiciously:
"Are you?"
The man smiled and said:
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Batur, and I am a herdsman."
The identity of the herdsman can be seen without his introduction to Zhao Zhuo.
Laughing when you meet is a very good thing.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo also smiled and shook hands with Batur:
"Hello Brother Batur, my name is Zhao Zhuo. Is there something you're looking for me?"
Batur didn't sell it either, and said directly:
"I think you're here to do business on the grasslands, right?"
Zhao Zhuo nodded and did not deny this.
After all, looking at what they are wearing, you can guess this matter.
And then, Batul's words made Zhao Zhuo slightly surprised.
I saw Batur say:
"I think you're coming to the prairie for the first time, right?"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but ask curiously:
"How do you see that?"
Batur smiled slightly:
"It's very simple, just look at the way you eat meat."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help crying and laughing:
"It's because we've eaten too much, right?"
Batur shook his head with a smile:
"It's not a question of how much you eat, but depending on the formation of your brothers eating meat, it must be the first time to eat our authentic Mongolian hand-handled lamb chops."
Hearing Batul's half-joking words, the drivers also laughed a little embarrassedly.
After joking, the two sides got acquainted with each other a lot, and Batulle went straight to the point:
"I came to say hello, mainly to ask, what kind of business are you here for?"
Originally, Zhao Zhuo was still worried about how to find a suitable trading partner for the first time, but now the arrival of Batur just gave Zhao Zhuo a chance.
However, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable, Zhao Zhuo did not rush to answer Baturle's question, but first asked rhetorically:
"Brother Batul, can I first ask where your ranch is and how many cows and sheep you raise?"
Hearing this, Batul replied:
"Friend, you don't know anything about our grassland. We, the herdsmen of the grassland, live in pursuit of water and grass, and we have to change places several times a year, and there is no fixed pasture.
In addition, my cattle and sheep are not large, only 2,000 sheep and 800 cattle."
Hearing the first half of Batule's words, Zhao Zhuo basically believed in the identity of Batule's herdsmen.
After all, only a true herder can speak such professionally.
Then, after hearing the second half of Batur's words, Zhao Zhuo directly grew his mouth in surprise.
2,000 sheep and 800 cattle, which is a very large existence among all the grassland herders.
Looking at Zhao Zhuo's surprised expression, Batur smiled unkindly.
Seeing Baturle's smile, Zhao Zhuo knew that Batule was called modest, but he was actually pretending to be forked.
So, Zhao Zhuo's head turned and he thought about it.
I saw him shake his head lightly:
"How is this possible? Two thousand sheep, eight hundred cattle, this can't be all over the mountains and fields full of cattle and sheep?
I don't believe you can have that much on your own."
As the saying goes, the best way to make a steppe man angry the fastest is to question the size of his cattle and sheep.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Zhuo's words, Batur suddenly showed a very angry expression:
"Who said I was the only one? We herd the herd together as a family, and we hired several people!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo looked at Batur's serious expression, and couldn't help but steal joy in his heart, and shook his head with a calm and breezy look on his face:
"Then I can't, I can't count two thousand sheep, let alone eight hundred cows!"
Seeing Zhao Zhuo's disdainful attitude, Batur no longer had the wise look he had just now, and became very irritable:
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, come with me to the outer city!
This time I came to do business, but I brought a whole three hundred sheep and a hundred cows!"
The scale of doing business is so large, if what he said is true, then this Baturke in front of him is really not an ordinary herdsman.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo thought for a moment, then nodded with an indifferent look and said:
"It's okay to take a look, but let's talk about it in advance, and we really go and find that there aren't so many, so I don't have to be annoyed and ashamed."
