Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 12 Buying Sheep
go to market.

It is a folk custom. The "farmer's market" initiated by local folks is used to stock up and exchange goods for trading. In remote areas, there is a certain place and date for buying and selling goods. When the time comes, vendors and villagers will rush to trade.

In the forest area, every Saturday and Sunday is the day to go to the market.

Experienced Sanpao's suicide driving skills again. In the thick morning fog, Sanpao didn't slow down. Li Hongbing was extremely suspicious that it was his own existence that delayed his take-off time.

This time I go to the town to go to the market, I must buy a motorcycle, my fate must be in my own hands, or sooner or later I will invite the whole village to a feast!
All the way out of the mountain in fear, Li Hongbing's face was as pale as that of an anemic patient.

Close to Pine Town.

The weather is not completely warm yet, and the slightest chill has permeated people's hearts. On the road, I met many villagers who were also going to the market, carrying burdens, driving cattle and sheep, carrying bamboo baskets, with simple smiles on their faces, facing the morning glow, braving In the morning mist, we walked and chatted.

Sanpao rode his motorcycle back to the store, and was busy taking out the purchased mountain goods from the iron frame on the back seat, "Brother, I will pack the mountain goods first, and I will find you later, don't run away, let's have a good drink at noon .”

"You go first." Li Hongbing nodded, turned around and walked into the lively market.

Going to the market in Songbai Town has a long history, and the villagers from the nearby ten miles and eight townships are willing to come and visit on this day.

There are crowds of people in the market, you squeeze me, I squeeze you, and you squeeze your shoulders. On both sides of the street, there are various agricultural tools, daily necessities, seeds and fertilizers, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, local chicken and vegetables. There are more snack stalls, such as steaming and roasting. Boiled and fried, the fragrance is attractive.

Li Hongbing first went to the township bank to withdraw some money for backup. After all, this is a rural area, and most villagers do not know how to pay with mobile phones, and more transactions are made in cash or barter.

After withdrawing the money, there was a handful of mutton skewers in his hand after a while.

I don't know if this mutton is serious or not, but it tastes good anyway, with a strong mutton flavor.

Take a bite, the mouth is full of oil, fresh and salty.

Li Hongbing wandered around, and would take part in anything interesting and delicious.

The price of goods in the market is not high. Take mutton skewers as an example. There are two or two pieces of meat for only 2 yuan. If you are in Mingzhu City, at least 10 yuan will start.

Strolling around, unknowingly strolled to the cattle and horse market.

The so-called cattle and horse market is an open space fenced off with straw ropes, where not only cattle and horses are sold, but also chickens, sheep, geese and dogs. As long as they are live animals, poultry and livestock are sold, they can also be slaughtered for you on the spot.

With a heart of nature, Li Hongbing felt an inexplicable resistance to the cattle and horse market, frowning and wanting to leave.

suddenly.

There was a whip cracking sound behind him, followed by a man yelling and cursing.

"Smash you to death, you lose money, cause trouble all day long, and make me lose money."

After the roar, there were two or three whips.

Li Hongbing looked back, and saw a black-faced man waving a long whip in his hand at the sheep stall, cursing and beating a strange sheep tied to the fence, surrounded by a few young men who stood pointing.

Why is it described as a strange sheep, because Li Hongbing, as a half-farmer, has never seen such a strange-looking sheep.

The height at the shoulders reaches 1.2, and it is estimated to weigh a hundred and ten kilograms. The fur is so long that it can hang down to the ground. Unfortunately, the color of the fur cannot be seen. The messy wool is covered with fecal dirt, and it emits a disgusting smell of urine.

However, the sheep's horns are very special, thick and pointed, growing outwards in a spiral shape, and the horns are slightly inclined outwards.

Facing the seller's continuous whipping, this strange sheep kept its head up, its eyes full of aloofness and unwillingness.

suddenly.

Li Hongbing recalled in his mind the animal world he had seen with his daughter. This strange sheep was very similar to an animal.

This product can't be argali!

It seems that the only argali that can grow this kind of horns is a protected animal with a grade.

Now that you have seen it, you should remind the seller that they are all from the village. If you are caught, it is not worthwhile to step on the sewing machine for ten years.

"Old man, take a break." Li Hongbing leaned forward, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

The black-faced man specialized in selling livestock in the town, and he had traveled extensively to the north and south, so he naturally recognized the giant panda logo on the cigarette pack, and then looked at Li Hongbing warily. He picked up the whip and took the cigarette.

"Brother, you are welcome, such a good smoke is wasted."

While talking, the action of picking up the cigarette is not slow, and after lighting it, he took a big puff.

Li Hongbing smiled and lit a cigarette himself, and the two began to chat.

"Old man, this sheep is a strange breed. It has such big horns. There is no such breed in our local area."

"Hey! I was fooled, and I thought I could make a lot of money. Who knew it was a loser, and the butcher shop didn't want this sheep." Mentioning this sheep, the black-faced man had a regretful expression.

Li Hongbing handed out a cigarette again, "Why, there are still people who dare to lie to people in our forest area."

The black-faced man took the cigarette, waved his hand, and looked complicatedly at the bighorn sheep.

"That's not a lie. I brought this sheep back when I went to Tianshan Mountain to buy breeding sheep a few days ago. The local people call it argali goat. It is a hybrid of argali and goat for five generations. It is less than one year old. The local people say that this sheep produces meat. The rate and yield rate are extremely high, I was deceived by the lard, and spent 1 to bring it back for breeding."

"It's not very good, why make such a big fuss."

"What a fart. I didn't know until later that this is a culling sheep. I have a bad temper. I bought it and killed four ewes in a month."

The black-faced man was about to swing his whip again angrily, but he couldn't bear to part with the cigarette butt in his hand.

Pan goat!
Curiosity arose in Li Hongbing's heart, and he subconsciously penetrated the original power into the body of this bighorn sheep.

next moment.

The whole person froze in place.

In the body of this bighorn sheep, there was actually a mass of red origin, about the size of a sesame seed.

Affected by the heart of nature, the mass of red essence quickly penetrated into Li Hongbing's body, blending into the heart of nature, and its volume was slightly larger.

Li Hongbing was secretly delighted.

Unexpectedly, you can find animals with origin in the market.

Then release the perception.

110 meters!
His face was happy, and the perception range was 10 meters longer.

And Pan Goat felt the existence of the original power, and looked at Li Hongbing with gray, deep and arrogant eyes, showing a little more intimacy.

Li Hongbing stepped forward and reached out to touch the goat's head.

"Brother, be careful, this animal is fierce." Seeing that Li Hongbing was about to touch the sheep, the dark-faced man hurriedly stopped him, but in the middle of speaking, he saw the pan goat narrowed its eyes and lowered its head into Li Hongbing's palm.

"Be obedient!" Li Hongbing patted the pan goat on the head, turned around and asked the black-faced man, "Brother, how do you sell this goat? I want it!"

This!
The black-faced man was in trouble.

It is a good thing that someone sells it, but the price is a problem.

If the bid is high, people will not buy it, and if the bid is low, it will not be worth it.

After thinking for a long time, the black-faced man's heart skipped a beat.

"Brother, I'm not cheating on you. I bought this sheep for 1 yuan. I bought it to kill four ewes, plus fodder. How about 1 yuan?"

1 million 5.

The price is really not expensive.

Li Hongbing took out his mobile phone, only to realize that he forgot to turn it on when he left the mountain.

Just turned on the phone.

The text message notification sounded one after another, showing that there were more than 30 missed calls.

Regardless of checking the phone, Li Hongbing transferred 1 to the black-faced man.

After receiving the money, the dark-faced man's sad face suddenly turned cloudy. Although the goat didn't make any money, it didn't lose money, and he became more enthusiastic about Li Hongbing.

"Brother, this is the breeding certificate. Keep it. My elder brother is called Fang San, so I will call me Third Brother. If you have something to do in Songbai Town in the future, please report your name directly, so that it will work."

Li Hongbing smiled and nodded, "Third Brother, I don't know if there is any water and washing powder, I'll rinse it off, it smells too much of urine."

"Of course there is water." Fang San turned his head and yelled at the young man watching the excitement, "Tietou, pull the water pipe over."

The young man named Tietou dragged out a water pipe and a bag of washing powder and handed them to Li Hongbing, kindly reminding him, "Men, be careful, that sheep-top man hurts so much."

Li Hongbing turned on the faucet and sprayed it on the pan goat.

The icy water spray fell on the body, and the mountain goat twisted its body to avoid the water column.

"Don't move, I'll give you a bath, it stinks to death." Li Hongbing sprinkled washing powder on the sheep while rushing.

Fang San and the young man watching the excitement couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Li Hongbing talking to Yang.

I'm afraid this person may not have a brain problem.

However, the pan goat stopped wriggling and stood obediently, allowing Li Hongbing to use washing powder to scrub the dirt covered with feces.

Not for a while.

The Pan goat has taken on a new look, with gray fur all over its body, which looks ordinary but feels smooth to the touch. The pair of large spiral horns wash away the dirt, exposing the black horniness, which exudes a dark luster.

The ugly duckling instantly became the king on the top of Tianshan Mountain.

Even Li Hongbing was shocked by the heroic appearance of the pan goat, and was stunned in place.

"Brother, let me tell you that you didn't lose money!!" Fang San, who had already seen the appearance of a mountain goat, said with a smile.

"No loss, indeed no loss!"
