The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 513 Herdsmen are the richest
Bai Meixi put the four sheep back into the space, and Aunt Liu had already built a sheepfold, which was large enough to raise at least 4 sheep.Liu Mazi also made a trough in the sheep pen, cut several kilograms of grass and put it in it, which was enough for the sheep to eat for several days.

"These sheep are really good. They are big and fat. I don't know where they got them from." Aunt Liu's sister also came over to help. She touched the thick wool and felt that it would be ready in a few days. The wool is shaved and spun into wool, which can be used to knit several sweaters, just in time for the Chinese New Year.

"Didn't I tell you before? Don't ask about the boss's affairs. Even if it is spun into wool, it must be given to the boss. How can it be used by our children?"

Aunt Liu looked at the direction Bai Meixi was leaving, fearing that she would hear these words. Her sister was capable of working and willing to endure hardships, but she loved to inquire about other people's affairs. Sooner or later, she would get into trouble for her.

Bai Meixi did not return to the camp immediately. She changed into a younger outfit in the space and wandered around the market. It was almost night. The market at this time was much deserted than in the morning, with only a few yurts. The lights were on, and there were some small stalls set up at the door. Most of the other people had gone back, preparing to come back at dawn the next day.

Bai Meixi wants to exchange for some horses and camels. With these means of transportation, it can at least solve Aunt Liu's family's transportation problem in space.The scope of space will definitely become larger and larger in the future, and walking will no longer be able to meet these basic needs.

"I want to change a horse." Bai Meixi communicated with the herdsmen in Chinese. She imitated a few horse calls, pointed to a horse in a herdsman's house, and drew a question mark on the snow.

The herdsmen had blank expressions on their faces. They thought Bai Meixi wanted to borrow a horse back and took one directly from their own pen.

The herdsmen are warm-hearted and helpful. When they encounter people who cannot return home in the snow, they will take the initiative to entertain them at home for the night, or lend them horses to go home.Anyway, their horses know the way, and others cannot capture them even if they want to.

They put the horse's reins into Bai Meixi's hands. This action made Bai Meixi feel that there was a big misunderstanding on the matter. She wanted to buy the horse, not borrow it.

Bai Meixi stood there and kept gesticulating. Those people didn't understand what she meant and kept standing there in a daze. After a while, one person seemed to suddenly realize it and dragged a man over. They finally understood what Bai Meixi meant. , several people took their horses back and walked to other places to look for business.

"Girl, you just moved here, why haven't I seen you before?" The man spoke Chinese fluently.

After Bai Meixi walked around for a long time, she finally heard someone talking to her in Chinese. The man didn't look like a herdsman, but had a frail and scholarly temperament, which made Bai Meixi feel a lot closer.

"I'm here to visit relatives. I heard that there is a lively market here, so I came to see how the transactions are done here. I walked around for a long time and couldn't see any patterns." Bai Meixi heard someone After speaking Chinese, she suddenly felt that she had met a savior. She hurried over to inquire about the situation and wanted to understand the trading rules of the herdsmen market.

She had been watching for a long time just now. People here were exchanging various things. It was difficult for her to tell the value of these things with her naked eyes, so she could only ask the people around her for help.

"Sheep are used for trading here. Camels, horses, and various daily necessities can be converted into sheep in the end." This herdsman who can speak Chinese is not a local. After getting married, he returned to his natal family with his wife, and met Bai Meixi also seemed to have found a soulmate, and he answered all her questions.

Bai Meixi finally figured out the transaction prices here. 10 sheep can be exchanged for a horse, 1 sheep can be exchanged for a camel, and 15 sheep can be exchanged for a cow. Everything on the grassland is very cheap, but outside But things are very expensive. Sometimes a beautifully crafted comb is worth more than 20 sheep.

The man who spoke Chinese sighed and felt that the prices here were too expensive and it was not easy to buy anything. If he had not agreed to come here to raise a child, he would have gone back with his wife and children.

But this price is too cheap for Bai Meixi. If she switches to vegetables, wouldn't it mean that 20 baskets of vegetables can be exchanged for one cow here? This price is simply unimaginable in her hometown.

Bai Meixi calculated her assets. She already has 6 sheep. As long as she brings two more baskets of vegetables tomorrow morning, she can exchange them for 10 sheep and turn them into a horse. The traffic problem is completely solved.

"But the sizes of the sheep are different. How do we calculate the price? Do we have to calculate the price by kilograms?" Bai Meixi soon discovered the problem. Some of the sheep she brought back were fat and thin, and the weight difference was more than ten kilograms. Even based on the price of mutton here, there is still a difference of several dollars, which is obviously unfair.

"Herdsmen are quick to do things and don't like to worry about details. As long as the sheep weighs more than 80 kilograms, they are considered adults and can be traded as whole sheep. Look at those adult sheep. Each one weighs between 80 and 100 kilograms. During this time, an experienced herdsman can tell at a glance how heavy a sheep is. If that person trades with the lightest sheep every time, no one will be willing to deal with him in the future. The gain outweighs the loss for them, and no one will Will do it."

Since the uncle moved here to live here, he has discovered that there are many strange things about the herdsmen. Their assets are much more than those in the city. A herdsman family basically has to raise thousands of sheep and dozens of cattle. What I see is just a small dwarf.If you really go to the place where they live, you will see the strange scene of cattle and sheep being seen in the wind and grass.

Based on the price of beef and mutton, these livestock are definitely at the level of wealthy people. However, the life of herdsmen is very difficult. They usually have nothing to buy. In the past few years since he moved here, he has to bring one with him every time he goes home to visit his relatives. A lot of things come back and are exchanged for the people who live here. They can basically be sold out in a day, which also makes his family's assets increase day by day.

People here now like people who can speak Chinese very much and feel that they can always come up with many good things and change the living conditions here.

Bai Meixi was shocked by the figures mentioned by the uncle. A herdsman family raised thousands of sheep. Calculated at 1 sheep per capita, a herdsman's fixed assets were at least about 2 yuan. This amount of money was more than a sum in this era. A huge sum of money, he can be called a wealthy person.

Bai Meixi found that the herdsmen were definitely the richest people in this era, but the traffic here was blocked, and things could not go out or come in. They could only trade with people nearby, which did not show the value of these things at all.
