Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

The two continued to go up the mountain to the place where the sheep were herded today.

On the hillside where weeds were lush, the goats had only been raised for more than half a month. Except for the tall trees and plants that the sheep didn't like, the other places were quite bald.

Of course, the main reason is that the two of them followed the stocking route, and what they saw on the road was naturally different from other places.

Li Changhui asked Lin He why he wanted to raise sheep and cattle. Apart from the cow and goat milk mentioned earlier, there should be other reasons, right?
After all, there are only a few people in their family. If they really want to drink goat milk, two or three ewes that have just given birth will do.

It is not uncommon for many rich families to feed their children with goat milk if their breast milk is insufficient or the mother is in poor health.

But judging from Lin He's meaning, it is clear that he wants to raise them in groups, not ten or eight.

He wanted to ask this question when he first bought the mountain, but he forgot when he got busy later.

"Of course you can still eat meat." Lin He replied as a matter of course. The taste of the roasted whole lamb last time is still endless aftertaste.

Li Changhui was not surprised, but there was one thing to remind Lin He: "Beef can't be eaten casually. The slaughter of farm cattle must be reported to the government, and only old, sick and disabled cattle can be slaughtered."

So, if you want to eat mutton, you can do it at any time, but if you want to eat beef, that's not the case.

Of course Lin He knew this rule. In the era when a pig was more valuable than a human, let alone a cow.

"Then what if I raise hundreds or even thousands of cows? I can't stop eating them, right? I can't even slaughter one of them?"

She just wants to try beef. After so many years, a piece of beef jerky is also good.

Li Changhui didn't speak, just sighed softly.

This meaning is already obvious.

Puckered mouth: "Then it's cow and goat milk. Even if we can't drink it all by ourselves, we can still sell it. Besides, there are so many crops at home, and we don't raise more livestock. Where can we get fertilizer?"

This is also one of the main reasons. Cow dung is so fertile.

Li Changhui saw Lin He's expression was a bit disappointed, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you really want to eat beef?"

Lin He nodded vigorously, followed by shaking his head: "I will not eat the meat of sick cows!"

It's not unheard of before that if someone's cattle get sick or die, they can sell beef or something.

She respects everyone's cherishing attitude towards food, but she really can't say anything about sick beef, so when Li Changhui asked her before, she sternly refused.

Li Changhui nodded secretly, with a plan in mind.

Lin He had sharp eyes, and quickly asked: "No way, do you have a way?"

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

Lin He became interested in an instant. He had already walked to the front, but came back in two steps: "Is there really a way? It won't violate the prohibition, right?"

As a good citizen, the four words of obeying the law and obeying the law are engraved in the bones.

Li Changhui laughed: "Why, there is a nomadic people far outside the Tianshan Mountains. They have a lot of cattle and sheep, and they mostly eat cattle and sheep."

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

"However, the cattle and sheep over there can't adapt to the high temperature. If you want to eat beef, you can have someone buy two cows and send them over in winter. It should be no problem for you to hurry."

Isn't that the yak?
Lin He thought about Xiao Jiujiu: "Then can those cows be fed here?"

Yak jerky is delicious, and the price is very, very expensive!
Unfortunately, Li Changhui quickly dispelled Lin He's thoughts: "No, the living environment over there is different from ours. Some people have tried to raise them before. It's okay to raise them for a few days, but they will get sick and die after a long time."

Well, Lin He also calmed down. She almost forgot that yaks live in plateau areas with high altitude and thin air, so they cannot adapt to the environment in low altitude areas.

but……

"What about the sheep? Is the sheep you mentioned okay?"

If I guessed right, Li Changhui should be talking about sheep, right?
The sheep at home are goats. He said that they are different from goats. Generally, they should be sheep. The goats have fine and dense hair on their bodies, while their faces are covered with large clumps of wool. The difference is huge.

As for sheep, it seems that I have never heard that they can only live in high altitude areas.

Sure enough, Li Changhui didn't shake his head this time: "It should be possible. Why don't I ask Xie Jiang when I go to pick up An'er in the afternoon. He should be able to get the cattle and sheep over there."

Lin He was surprised: "Xie Jiang? Doesn't his family specialize in grocery stores? Can it be so powerful that it can also do business outside the customs?"

Guanzhou Mansion is quite far from the border, and Xie's grocery store probably hasn't covered it yet.

"It was not possible before, but not necessarily now."

The two continued to wander around under the shade of the tree: "How do you say that?"

"Forget those wines?"

Li Changhui said slowly: "The Xie family also has ambitions, otherwise, they couldn't just open a grocery store all over the Guanzhou Prefecture."

"In the past, there may have been no connections. Many business routes were cut off by others. It was not easy to get a share of the pie."

"But these years, Xie's family can sell hundreds of catties of wine every month. As far as I know, these wines are all scattered and sent directly to different people."

Lin He understood a little: "You mean, the Xie family also got to know a lot of contacts through this wine?"

"Yes." Li Changhui nodded: "Perhaps in the eyes of others, the managers of these grocery stores are not very eye-catching, but few people should know that the same boss is actually behind these grocery stores."

"Under such circumstances, if the stewards of these shops happen to get in touch with a certain big merchant or caravan and express their desire to go outside the pass, they probably won't mind bringing one more person with them."

Of course, even if there is no contact, you can still get in touch if you want to. Wine is definitely a good way to open the way.

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

"That's right, the Xie family's ability to run a small grocery store with great fanfare, spread all over the Guanzhou Prefecture without anyone knowing, proves that they can hold their breath and seize the opportunity."

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

"And the last time Xie Jiang mentioned it, he seemed to be thinking about whether to do something else, but he hasn't decided on a direction yet."

Lin He: "You mean, telling him now that he wants to buy cattle and sheep outside the customs can be regarded as helping him find a direction. If he does well, he can work hard in this direction?"

Li Changhui nodded, that's what he meant. It happened that they wanted beef and mutton outside the customs, and Xie Jiang was also worried about how to expand his family business next.

Especially in recent years, the border has been peaceful and there are many caravans coming and going with each other, which is a good time to do business.

The two discussed and almost settled the matter.

For the rest, it depends on what happens to Xie Jiang.
