The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

The next day, Wang Liben woke up at daybreak. The stove in the room had gone out, so he quickly got up and lit the fire.

"Oh, it's so early."

Liu Minghui was woken up by him. He was closest to the stove and was startled by the noise of Wang Liben making a fire.

"Hiss, it's really cold."

After leaving the bed, Liu Minghui hurriedly put on his cotton coat.

"Chief, it's daybreak outside, the herdsmen are all up, listen to this sound."

Wang Liben said as he made a fire.

Yes, there were noises outside, the lowing of cows and sheep, and the voices of children.

"Get up, get up. I'll go out and take a look first."

Liu Minghui shouted twice, then opened the door and walked out.

Outside, it was already bright, and many herdsmen were driving their cattle and sheep out to graze.

"Hey, are you the guest who came yesterday?"

A little girl came up to Liu Minghui, blinking her big eyes and looking at him.

"Yes, little girl, what's your name?"

Seeing her, Liu Minghui squatted down and asked with a smile.

"My name is Su Jimi, Batu Menghe is my father. I heard that you came to the capital. What is the capital like?"

Su Jimi grew up here and longed for the outside world. He wanted to learn more about it from Liu Minghui.

"The capital, of course, has a lot of people and a lot of delicious food. People from all over the world gather here to work and live. When you grow up, you'll see for yourself."

After hearing this, Su Jimi suddenly felt longing, but when he thought of his own situation, he couldn't help feeling sad.

"I've only been to the market with my father, and I haven't been anywhere far away."

"Where is Sujimi?"

Just as the two were chatting, a call came from a distance.

"Oh no! I forgot to open the sheepfold. I have to go to work."

After saying that, Su Jimi ran away like the wind, running back to the place where he came from.

Liu Minghui was bored early in the morning, so he went outside to observe how people lived on the grassland.

We can see that the herdsmen have driven the cattle and sheep out and scattered them in a depression not far away. There is still grass growing there, but it is estimated that it is not enough to feed so many cattle and sheep, so there are also carts pulling fodder along, which should be used for feeding.

"Brother Liu, why are you here? I wanted to find you."

Batu brought two young men to him and introduced them.

"These are my two younger brothers, Huheba and Hasiqi."

Batu introduced Liu Minghui to his two younger brothers. They looked about the same age as Liu Minghui, but they looked stronger and darker.

"Hello, I'm Liu Minghui."

Liu Minghui greeted the two of them with a smile.

The two men were not as heroic as Batu. Instead, they smiled at Liu Minghui in a somewhat reserved manner.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui stopped communicating with the two and turned to talk to Batu about the purchase.

"Brother Batu, I wonder if there will be any problems with our purchase of cattle and sheep?"

Batu hesitated for a moment and said, "You have come from afar, and I would be embarrassed not to sell it to you, but you purchased too much, so I estimate that I can give you one third of it."

Batu explained embarrassedly that because it was winter now, they needed to slaughter a lot of cattle and sheep every day. If Liu Minghui purchased all of them, there might not be enough for everyone to eat, so they could only give out this much.

Before Liu Minghui could speak, Batu's younger brother whispered, "Brother, have you forgotten that there are several gathering places not far away? Maybe they can also sell some cattle and sheep."

Liu Minghui was overjoyed after hearing this, and could only look at Batu to see what he would say.

"This is indeed a good idea, but I just don't know how many they have."

"and..."

Batu didn't finish his words and looked at Liu Minghui.

"Do you have that much money?"

After hearing this, Liu Minghui waved his hand and assured: "Don't worry about this, we will pay on the spot, it will definitely be enough."

Li Huaide brought 10,000 yuan when he came. How could it be not enough to pay? Even if the price was only 60 or 70 cents per pound, it would be enough to purchase more than 10,000 pounds.

"That's good, brother. Ride over and tell them and see if they have any ideas. If they are okay, ask them to come over."

Seeing this, Batu ordered his two younger brothers to go find someone.

In the afternoon, Liu Minghui and several others negotiated with four people headed by Batu and reached a preliminary agreement, that is, three trucks of cattle and sheep would be purchased from Batu, and one truck each from the other places. There happened to be four buyers, so Liu Minghui arranged for them to go together and drive the cars. This way, the process would be faster and there would be no need to wait for them to drive the cattle and sheep over.

"Brother Liu, come to my house tonight and I'll treat you to some of our kumis."

Batu was very happy to complete the purchase, and said proudly while putting his arm around Liu Minghui's shoulders.

"Then I would like to thank Brother Batu, but what about us?"

Liu Minghui certainly didn't mind drinking, but there were still eight people here. He couldn't just eat and drink all the food and leave them here alone.

Batu waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal? Of course we come together."

At night, Liu Minghui and his companions came to Batu's family's yurt, which was inside the gathering place. They had stayed in a yurt outside the gathering place last night.

"Brother Liu, you are here, please take a seat."

In the house, Batu's wife was already cooking. There was nothing else but the staple food, which was beef, mutton and various delicacies from the grassland.

The few people did not come empty-handed. Liu Minghui specially took out three bottles of Moutai from the space.

"Batu, this is Maotai liquor I brought from the capital. Try it and see how it works."

Liu Minghui handed him the wine and said.

"Thank you very much. I just love drinking."

Although Batu had never heard of it, he took it very solemnly.

There was a large table in the room, probably two tables put together, and Su Jimi was helping her mother cook.

"Dear guests, please take a seat. The food will be ready soon."

Batu's wife brought the food over and spoke to a few people with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you're welcome."

Everyone thanked him, and Batu picked up the bottle and filled it up for everyone. It was the kumis that Batu had mentioned, and it looked milky white.

"Brothers, come on, let's drink this first."

As the host, Batu was the first to raise his glass and drink with everyone.

Of course, they didn't hesitate to pick up the cup and drink it all.

"Hiss, it feels different."

After drinking, Liu Minghui said with a smile under Batu's expectant gaze.

"Haha, that's right, this is home-brewed."

Batu was very happy and drank one cup after another. That night, of the people who were guests at Batu's house, except Liu Minghui who was able to come back, the rest were drunk and had to be helped back.
