The two continued up the hill to the place where the sheep were grazed today.

The slopes of the mountains, where weeds were originally abundant, were only stocked for most of the month, and in addition to those tall trees and plants that sheep didn't like, the rest of the place was bald.

Of course, the main reason is that the two of them have followed the free-range route, and the situation they saw on the road is naturally different from other places.

Li Changhui asked Lin He why he wanted to raise sheep and cattle, in addition to the cow and goat milk mentioned before, there should be other reasons, right?

After all, there are only a few people in their family, and if they really want to drink goat's milk, two or three newborn ewes are fine.

Many large families have given birth, and if the breast milk is not enough or the mother is not in good health, they will feed the child goat's milk, which is not unusual.

But looking at Lin He's meaning, it is clear that he wants to raise them in groups, not ten heads and eight heads.

This is a question he wanted to ask when he first bought the mountain, but he forgot it when he got busy.

"Of course, you can also eat meat." Lin He replied as a matter of course, the taste of roasting whole sheep last time is still endless.

Li Changhui was not surprised, but there was one point, I still had to remind Lin He: "Beef can't be eaten casually, slaughtering cattle must be reported to the government, and only old, sick and disabled cattle can be slaughtered." ”

So, it's okay to eat mutton whenever you want, but it's not the case with beef.

Of course, Lin He knew this regulation, in an era when a pig was more expensive than a person, let alone a cow.

"What if I have hundreds or thousands of cows? You can't and won't let you eat it, right? Can't slaughter all of them? ”

She just wants to try beef, after so many years, it's good to have a piece of beef jerky.

Li Changhui didn't speak, just sighed lightly.

The meaning of this is already obvious.

pouted: "Then it's still cow and goat milk, even if we can't drink it ourselves, we can sell it, besides, there are so many crops at home, don't raise more livestock, where is the fertilizer." ”

This is also one of the main reasons, cow dung is more fertile fields.

Li Changhui saw that Lin He's expression was a little lost, thought about it, and asked, "Do you really want to eat beef?" ”

Lin He nodded vigorously, followed by shaking his head again: "Don't eat the meat of sick cows!" ”

It's not unheard of before, whose cattle are sick and die, and they can sell beef or something.

She respects everyone's attitude of cherishing food, but she really can't taste the sick beef, so when Li Changhui asked her before, she sternly refused.

Li Changhui nodded secretly, and had a plan in his heart.

Lin He's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly asked: "No, do you have a way?" ”

Pondered for a moment: "It's not impossible, but it will have to wait until winter." ”

Lin He was instantly interested, and had already walked to the front, but he rushed back in two steps: "Is there really a way?" Wouldn't it be a violation of the ban? ”

As a good citizen, the words "law-abiding" are engraved in your bones.

Li Changhui smiled: "How could it be, far away near the Tianshan Mountains, there is a nomadic people, they have a lot of cattle and sheep there, and they mostly feed on cattle and sheep." ”

Lin He's eyes lit up instantly, and she probably understood what Li Changhui meant.

"But the cattle and sheep over there can't adapt to the high temperature, if you want to eat beef, when it comes to winter, you can let people buy two cows and send them over, just rush this time, it should be no problem."

Isn't that a yak?

Lin He thought about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart: "Then can those cattle be fed by us?" ”

Yak jerky is delicious, and the price is very, very expensive!

It's a pity that Li Changhui quickly dispelled Lin He's idea: "No, the living environment over there is different from ours, and some people have tried to raise it before, and it is okay to raise it for a few days, but after a long time, they will get sick and die." ”

Yes, Lin He also calmed down, she almost forgot that the yak lives in a plateau area, with high altitude and thin air, so it can't adapt to the environment in low altitude areas.

But......

"What about the sheep? Is it okay to say sheep? ”

If you guess correctly, Li Changhui should be talking about sheep, right?

The goats at home are goats, he said that they are different from goats, they should generally be sheep, and the goats have fine and dense hair, and the surface is a large clump of wool, the difference is big.

I don't think I've heard of sheep living at high altitudes.

Sure enough, Li Changhui didn't shake his head this time: "It should be possible, why don't you wait for the afternoon to pick up An'er, I'll go to Xie Jiang and ask, he should be able to get the cattle and sheep over there." ”

Lin He was surprised: "Xie Jiang? Isn't his family a grocery store? Can it be so powerful, and the business outside the customs can also be done? ”

Guanzhou Mansion is quite far away from the border pass, and the Xie family's grocery store should not have covered the past.

"It didn't work before, but not now."

The two continued to wander in the shade of the trees: "What do you say? ”

"Forgot those wines?"

Li Changhui said slowly: "The Xie family is also ambitious, otherwise, it would not be possible to open the entire Guanzhou Mansion with just one grocery store." ”

"In the past, there may have been no way, and many trade routes were cut off by others, and it was not easy to get a piece of the pie."

"But over the years, the Xie family has been able to sell hundreds of catties of wine every month, and as far as I know, these wines are scattered and sent directly to different people."

Lin He somewhat understood: "You mean to say that the Xie family has also learned a lot of connections through this wine?" ”

"Hmm." Li Changhui nodded: "Maybe in the eyes of others, the stewards of these grocery stores are inconspicuous, but few people should know that these grocery stores are actually the same boss behind them." ”

"Under such circumstances, if the managers of these shops happen to be in contact with a large merchant or caravan and say that they want to go to the customs gate, they should not mind bringing one more person."

Of course, even if there is no connection, it is possible to connect with it now, and wine is definitely a good tool to open the way.

Lin He instantly understood: "As long as someone brings it, it means that the Xie family knows this road, understands the relationship and situation on this road, and if you want to continue to get through, it is only a matter of time!" ”

"That's right, the Xie family can run a small grocery store well, all over the entire Guanzhou Mansion without anyone knowing, which proves that they can calm down and seize the opportunity."

This opportunity is in front of you, so you won't miss it.

"And the last time I heard Xie Jiang mention it, he seemed to be thinking about whether to do something else, but he hadn't thought about the direction yet."

Lin He: "What do you mean is that now you tell him that you want to buy cattle and sheep outside the Guanwai, it can be regarded as helping him find a direction, if he does a good job, he can work hard in this direction?" ”

Li Changhui nodded, that's pretty much what it means, it just so happens that they want beef and mutton outside the gate, and Xie Jiang is also worried about how to expand his family business next.

Especially in these years, the border passes have been peaceful, and there are many caravans coming and going, which is a good time to do business.

The two discussed, and the matter was almost settled.

The rest depends on what happens to Xie Jiang.
