Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 284

"Mr. Huang, is anyone selling lambs recently?" After finishing a cigarette, everyone started to light up another one, and this time someone else gave it to him.

Even though Sheng Tang cigarettes are just okay, he can still smoke them.

"Just buy it across the river. Aren't there people grazing sheep over there?"

"They're out of stock." Qin Dahe said helplessly. I've already bought four lambs this summer, and there's no stock on the other side of the river.

It is almost autumn and the lambs are gaining weight quickly, so people are reluctant to sell them out at this time.

The meat of the big sheep is too tough to be roasted, so it can only be stewed into soup.

"I'll make a phone call for you." Mr. Huang nodded and went to the side to start making a phone call.

He runs a small shop and knows a lot of people. There are also three or four families who grazed sheep on both sides of the dike.

I made two phone calls before I found a store selling lambs.

"They have two lambs for sale. The price is higher, nine dollars and a half for a wool lamb."

Qin Dahe's eyes lit up when he heard this. It was good that they had the goods. He was also craving for grilled lamb skewers.

"Where is it? I'll get it now."

"Haha, there's a crab pond south of the gravel road behind Hanwa's house. Here's the phone number of the neighbor in the village. Call them when you get there." Grandpa Huang said with a smile. This family is greedy enough to go buy a sheep overnight.

"Thank you, Master Huang."

He returned home happily and told Yanyan the news. The little girl was immediately happy because the two lambs would last her a long time to eat.

"I'll go with you. We'll kill one and raise the other. After we finish eating this one, we'll kill another."

"Okay, get in the car."

The girl has indeed been neglected by night fishing these days, so it's a good opportunity to take her out to buy some sheep for some exercise.

After the off-road vehicle went up the embankment, it went down from the Liming Supermarket and then turned from the Hanwaer side.

If you go south, just take the gravel road without going through the village.

It's the middle of the night, and no matter how good the off-road vehicle is, it will still be bumpy. Don't let the girl get hurt.

Seeing that we were almost there, I made a phone call and the other party waved the direction. Soon I could see a small mound of earth, and behind the mound was the levee.

The earthen slope and embankment above are probably where his family grazes the sheep. It is not convenient for the car to drive on the embankment, so it can only be driven from below.

Wuwei is a vast plain with a crisscrossing water system. There are very few people raising sheep. Everyone uses the little land they have for farming. There is really no place to grow grass except the levee.

After getting off the bus, there is an ordinary farmyard with three earthen houses and a row of fences on the side of the yard.

"Grandpa, are you going to sell sheep?" When they arrived at the place, he started handing out cigarettes, but he didn't smoke himself because the girl was right next to him.

"Well, Boss Huang said someone wants to buy it. Why is it so fast?" Grandpa said politely.

He was informed by his neighbor that someone wanted to buy a sheep, but he didn't expect the person to come so quickly.

Driving and smoking Red Nanjing cigarettes, you can tell at first glance that he is a rich young man.

"Well, my home is nearby, and it's really hard to buy it normally." The three of them talked as they arrived at the sheep pen.

There are more than a dozen sheep of different sizes inside, which is considered a relatively large flock in the vicinity.

Looking at the lambs, they all weighed about 20 kilograms, and Qin Dahe thought they were quite fat.

The little girl was also curious and reached out to touch the lamb.

"Brother, I want to buy them all." Anyway, we have a lot of money to spend at home, and two are not enough.

"Haha, then buy them all." Qin Dahe nodded with a smile.

"A wool sheep is nine dollars and a half. Boss Huang told you that, didn't he?"

"I've told you that your sheep are all very good. How about this: give me a higher price and keep all the lambs for me. I can come over to eat when I'm done eating, okay?" If I buy two at a time, I'll have to work hard to raise them.

"Okay." Hearing that the customer took the initiative to raise the price, of course they agreed.

If the price is high enough, any sheep can be sold, and you don't have to spend time looking for someone to buy them. Qin's mother simply couldn't bear to pay a premium, so the other party said there were no sheep.

However, the other party still asked carefully where his store was, so that he could tell others if the price was changed.

The price of mutton sometimes fluctuates greatly, and it is possible that the price will increase in the second half of the year.

"You are from the Qin family, no wonder you drive a car." The old man's name is quite famous. I didn't expect that even the sheep farmers have heard of it.

"Well, the sheep are all on my head. Can I give you an extra hundred as a deposit?"

"No need, your family is so rich, this is just a small amount." Grandpa said politely.

He even took the initiative to lead out the fattest sheep and started weighing it.

Rich people are very prestigious in the countryside, especially Qin's father's reputation is quite important in the eyes of the older generation.

"If you don't want the wool, I'll kill it for you tonight and sell it to you at the current mutton price."

"Just kill it directly." It would be troublesome to bring it back and kill it.

The couple didn't care about the price. A lamb only weighed a dozen pounds and cost about two hundred yuan.

Qin's mother always buys whole sheep and then kills and scalds them herself when she gets home. Not only is it troublesome, but she also has to find someone to collect the wool.

"Fuck, boil the water."

"Hey, here they come." Soon an auntie in a vest came out. Although she was puzzled as to why someone would come to buy sheep in the middle of the night, she still lit a fire.

"No need to go to so much trouble. We don't want the sheepskin. Just peel it for us." He waved his hand.

The meat should be grilled without the skin. It is inedible with the skin on. It gets harder the longer it is grilled and it wastes time. It is already so late.

The little girl watched the lamb being taken away, not daring to look, and held the man's arm tightly.

"You're so timid, and you still want to eat?" Qin Dahe scratched the girl's nose in amusement. "I just don't dare to watch the slaughter of sheep. I've seen pigs slaughtered many times."

Girls in the countryside are not so virtuous. It’s just that the sheep’s bleating is too miserable, unlike the pigs, whose howling before death makes people want to stab the knife deeper.

"Brother, shall we eat in the evening?" Thinking of eating roasted lamb in the evening, her pitiful thoughts faded.

There are two babies in my belly, so I need to eat more and share some with the babies.

"Eat." Needless to say, the freshly slaughtered lamb must be extremely tender and fresh, which is worth coming to collect the lamb in the middle of the night.

If you skin the sheep directly, it is still very quick to kill it, as long as the blood is drained away.

Soon a pot of mutton was brought out. The lamb chops, lamb heads and lamb shanks were packed separately, and the rest was pure meat. Grandpa's skill in slaughtering sheep was quite good.

After weighing, it was just over 15 pounds, with a market price of 16 yuan. I paid the premium of one yuan to the owner, and the meat was directly packed in a plastic bag and sent to the car.

The reason why the price is not too much higher is that the wool and sheepskin left behind can still be sold for money, which can make more money. The price of lambskin is more expensive.

Before leaving, the girl went to the sheep pen and counted the lambs. There were four lambs, and then she got on the car happily.

In her heart, these four lambs all belong to her, and at least she can eat them until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When she got home, she started to make charcoal as she knew how without waiting for the car to be turned off, and went to the front to call Qin's father and others to come and eat together.

"I won't eat it. Eating in the middle of the night will make you fat." Mother Qin refused with a smile, then glared at a man who said she was fat and broad-shouldered.

The old man could only go back to the house in embarrassment. He had wanted to eat some barbecue skewers and drink some wine, but now his plan was ruined.

"Yan'er, how about grilling some lamb chops and lamb brains tonight?"

"I also want lamb kidneys and roast meat. You eat the kidneys and I'll just have a taste."

"Row."

The couple started grilling quickly, neither of them wanted to waste time.

Take out the brain from the sheep's head, put it on a piece of iron sheet and roast it. Just add some chopped green onions and other ingredients, and it will be very tender.

The lamb kidneys need to be wrapped in some lamb tail fat before roasting, otherwise they will be too dry and not tasty.

After being busy for forty minutes, the two chefs saw their masterpiece, clapped their hands in satisfaction and began to enjoy their midnight snack.

Even though it's already ten o'clock, I can't stop my foodie urge.

The mutton is tender, the brain is tender, and the lamb chops are even more tender. They can be eaten after grilling for more than ten minutes.

"It's very yummy."

"Haha, I'll bake it for you tomorrow."

"No, take it easy. It's easy to get tired of eating it every day." The little girl waved her greasy hands and grabbed the lamb chops and started to eat them.

Some cartilage was chewed up directly. Chaomian and Black Bear were waiting eagerly. He felt pity for the red dog when he saw it, and specially threw a piece of mutton to it.

"Don't harm the dog next time."

"Hey, I'm planning to dye the black bear too, hehe."

Qin Dahe: “.”

The dogs at home are so pitiful. Both of them were infected. They will be looked down upon if they go out with Brother Niu in the future.

The couple devoured the barbecued meat with relish, not even a single vegetarian dish.

If this lamb eats like this, it will be gone in three or four days at most. It is very luxurious.

It was not until eleven o'clock that the two took a bath together and then went back to the room to have a good sleep.

The next day at seven o'clock, Qin Dahe woke up with a little indigestion because he had eaten too much oily food recently.

When exposed to the sun, my nose starts to get oily.

Qin's father had already sailed the boat to collect the eel cages, and there were also shrimp cages waiting for him to collect.

"Dad, how many eels are there today?"

"More than four pounds, not bad." She took a Red Nanjing from his hand and lit it.

The old man has had a hard time recently. He has traded his cigarettes for Sheng Tang cigarettes, and he has exchanged the gold he picked up for Double Happiness cigarettes.

Women are very vindictive. After he said that, she had a hard time for the next two days.

The father and son walked to the bottom of the Yuxi River and began to collect the nets. It was a bit late today, so they couldn't help but speed up as they still had to go to the vegetable market to deliver the goods later.

There were only some small Karami balls on the first two nets here, and Qin Dahe didn't care who pulled them up. The other party placed the nets straight, so what else could he say?

The third net brought a surprise, there were two big ones in it.

There weren't many river shrimps, only about one or seventy-eight cents, and they were all poured into the bucket.

The rest are similar. It may be because of the hot weather. The fish are particularly active at night. We have caught seven or eight today, and they are all over one or two in size.

There is also a white eel, which is a rare commodity.

After meeting up with Qin's father, I found that the net was full of fish today, and there were two white eels.

"Dad, how about we use a ground hook tonight?" He said happily. The ground hook is very good at making money. We can just go to the kid's house and use it.

"Not going fishing tonight?"

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." He patted his head and forgot about fishing.

At least you have to catch a big blue carp weighing 60 or 70 kilograms, so that the old man can show off every day.

　Please give me double monthly tickets, more please.

　　2800 monthly tickets were sold in one day yesterday, you guys are awesome, haha
