When Luo Mengxiao Shulin went back and told Liu Chunlan and Old Man Luo about this matter, the two old men felt that it was unreliable.

"You child, why do you become more unreliable as you get older?" Liu Chunlan couldn't help but said, the thing that Luo Meng marked their little cock a while ago was passed on as a joke.

That night Bian Dajun went back to the courtyard to tell everyone about the matter, and then asked Lao Zhou what kind of experiment he was going to do in the next two days. Everyone got together and knew that Lao Zhou wanted Dabao to help him find the chicken spirit. As a result, they searched all over the place, and they found Bian Dajun and the others catching chickens every day, but they didn't know which one to catch.

"Son." Luo Meng picked up the monkey boy and asked him, "Shall we ask the monkeys to help herd the sheep? If they are well stocked, they will give them delicious food, corn, steamed buns, and fragrant pancakes."

"En." Houwazi nodded seriously.

The precious son made it clear that he was in the trenches with him, and the happy old Zhou kissed him on the face: "My son knows me best."

"Just mess around, he's so young, what does he know?" Old man Luo said as he stood up, "It's time for us to go back, it's getting dark."

"I'll take you back." Romon also stood up.

"No need, you both have been busy all day, it's only a few steps, just walk." Liu Chunlan waved her hand.

"It doesn't take much to drive a car, I'll see you off." Xiao Shulin couldn't help but push Romon back, took the car keys and went out with the two old people.

The local goats on Romon's side are not like the excellent breeds advertised on the Internet and TV. They can be raised for three to five months before they can be slaughtered. The goats here have a long growth cycle, usually at least eight months Only the above can be slaughtered. At that time, when the young goats had not grown enough to mate, the mutton was the most tender and delicious.

When they are more than one year old, rams and ewes will slowly enter the golden period of breeding the next generation. They can produce one or two litters a year, usually three litters in two years, and one litter can give birth to two or three lambs. The seeds are saved, and the lambs in spring can be sold when they grow up to a year ago.

In some respects, Lao Zhou is a stickler. He does not trust the so-called high-quality breeds that can be slaughtered in three to five months. He is willing to raise this kind of local goat. .It happened that Luo Minghui also raised this kind of goat. The next evening, Luo Meng went to their house to inquire about the channel to buy lambs with his own baby monkey on his shoulders.

"It's cheaper to buy lambs this season." Luo Minghui said when he heard that Luo Meng planned to buy lambs.

"Why?" Romon grew up and had never dealt with goats before, so he was a complete layman.

"When buying lambs at this time, there is not enough fodder, the weather is cold, and the cost of breeding is high. Some lambs who are weaker can't survive the winter at all. After the winter is over, it will be summer. This batch of sheep is just right. It went on the market in July and August when the temperature was the highest, and the price of mutton at that time was so low that it could not be sold at a high price." Luo Minghui has raised goats for such a long time, and when it comes to raising goats, he is very straightforward.

"That's fine." Romon has spiritual spring water, and the survival rate is not an issue. Besides, if the mutton can be raised to a high level, it can be sold at a good price in any season, and there is no need to follow market price fluctuations.

"Then do you plan to buy development sheep or economic sheep?" Luo Minghui asked again.

"What kind of sheep?" The sheep are sheep, why are there so many ways.

"Economic sheep are mutton sheep that have been gelled, and development sheep are breeding sheep that have never been gelled."

"Oh..." Luo Meng nodded: "You should write me the contact information over there first, I'll go back and ask my cousin."

"That works." Luo Minghui reached out and took off a piece of hard paper from a cigarette box that was stuck on the wall of their house. There was a number written on the hard paper, and Luo Minghui copied another one next to it, and then tore it off. Pass it to Romon.

Luo Meng went back to ask Na Maocheng, and Na Maocheng said that the price of commercial sheep in the market is generally cheaper than that of development sheep, and the goats that have been gelled grow fast, and the meat is good in quality and light in taste. Buy commercial sheep.

Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin made a total calculation and decided to buy some commercial sheep and some developmental sheep. On the day of buying lambs, they called Na Maocheng, and the three of them drove three cars to the sheep farm.Na Maocheng has experience in selecting lambs. After entering, he selects this one and that one, looking for all the good lambs. The sheep farm owner's face is almost green when he sees it.

"Why, are you still reluctant?" Seeing the boss's reaction, Luo Meng grinned. This sheep farm is located in their Tongcheng area, more than three hours' drive from Buffalo Town. The scale is small, and the quality of the lamb is good. , the price is more reasonable.

"Hey, where are you?" Even if you encounter someone who is too knowledgeable, you will inevitably be a little overwhelmed. The owner of the sheep farm forced a smile. This person looks about 50 or [-] years old. He is short, neither fat nor thin, and is very plainly dressed. , dark skin, gray hair.

"What's the matter with those lambs?" Romon pointed to more than a dozen lambs surrounded by one side.

"The body is too weak to survive the winter. I don't have much time to serve them. I plan to sell them to restaurants in the next two days. Some people like to eat this kind of tender lamb." The owner of the sheep farm said.

"You kill and eat at such a young age?" Romon couldn't help but frowned slightly. It's too wasteful. How much meat can grow in the future if you take care of it well.

"Otherwise, what should we do? There are few people buying lambs these days, and most people don't look down on them."

"Then if you think it's cheaper, I'll take it all." Old Zhou likes to pick up cheap ones the most.

"It's two yuan cheaper for you per catty?" The owner of the sheep farm said with a smile.

"Tsk, you're so stingy!"

"That's the price when I sell it to a restaurant."

"Are you a ghost? Little lambs like you don't have a large scale. I'm afraid you can eliminate a few of them in a year, so you want to sell them for a good price?" Old Zhou didn't understand the market of goats, but He was good at haggling.

"Hey, you said I was stingy. The three of you can drive over three cars. Just these few lambs are still bargaining with me. I can't beat you to death." The owner of the sheep farm said, and handed it to Luo Meng with a smile. A cigarette passed.

"As the old saying goes, it's easy to make a fortune but hard to keep it. There are so many mouths in the house, you can't save yourself." Luo Meng smiled and took the cigarette, then took the lighter from him, lit the cigarette and smoked. With a single bite, he squatted on a round log by the side of the sheep farm and chatted with the boss.

Not far away, Xiao Shulin, Na Maocheng and the sheep farm owner's son were selecting lambs. This time, Romon wanted more than 500 lambs, and it would take a while to select them one by one.The place where the boss runs the sheep farm is on the outskirts of a small town. This place looks economically backward, and the rent is probably not expensive.

"Where are you from?" the boss asked Romon.

"Buffalo Town." Romon replied.

"Oh, that area, I know, the bull market there used to be famous."

"Bull market? It's over now." Romon waved his hand.

"What's different now? Young people have gone to the city."

"How long have you been running this sheep farm?" Romon asked him.

"It's been four or five years, and I used to work outside. These years, the migrant workers don't like to ask for it, and they didn't learn any skills, so they fumbled to raise goats. My son doesn't like reading. He was in high school. I worked outside for a few years after graduation, but didn’t get any results, so I just asked him to come back and help me.”

"What's your name?"

"My surname is Tian, ​​Tian Gensheng. Everyone in this old field knows the sheep herding." Tian Gensheng is quite proud, not to mention, having his own business is different from when he used to work with others.

"Oh, my name is Luo Meng, Lao Tian, ​​I didn't say that those sheep of yours are not good enough." Although Luo Meng doesn't know much about goats, the animals are all alike. It's good to be skinny, and it's better to be energetic than to be slumped. The few breeding sheep in Lao Tian's family look okay, but they are not very energetic.

"Good breeding sheep are hard to find. The native goats here are no better than some fine breeds outside. There are fewer people who raise them. If you want to get a better breeding sheep, sometimes you have money but you don't necessarily have the land to buy them. Woolen cloth."

"Then what did you think at the beginning, why don't you get some good varieties back to raise?"

"We have no education, and we don't know anything about scientific breeding. We have worked so hard to save two dollars, what should we do if we lose money? Although I have never raised goats, there are people in our village who understand this. Besides, this thing is good. Serving is easy to learn.”

After a while, when Xiao Shulin and the others picked out the lambs, they weighed them together and finally figured out the price. After Luo Meng paid the cash, Tian Gensheng asked his son to put the dozen or so lambs on the side as pawns for them. , Said to let Romon buy lamb next time, and come to him again.To be honest, at this time, Luo Meng took away hundreds of lambs from him at once, which made Lao Tian very relieved, and this year can be a year of peace.

Luo Meng smiled and said, "You are a good boss. When my first breed sheep are bred, if you find them, I will give you a big discount."

Tian Gensheng smiled when he heard this, and didn't take it seriously. After sending away Luo Meng and the others, he told his son: "Young people just don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Our native goats are easy to raise, but we must raise good ones." It's not that easy to come from the breeding sheep."

"Where are these people from?" his son asked.

"It's from Buffalo Town, what's its name, Luo, Luo what?" Tian Gensheng couldn't remember for a while.

"Romon?" his son asked.

"Oh, it seems to be called Romon, how do you know?"

"Hey!" His son grinned, took out his mobile phone and called Luo Minghui. Tian Gensheng's son was about the same age as Luo Minghui. When Luo Minghui first started raising sheep, he often called him to ask questions. The two of them became acquainted.

"Hey, Minghui, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Luo Minghui is herding sheep on the mountain at the moment. At the beginning, this kid had a big heart, and all the sheep in a large flock were bought as development sheep. Now it's almost the end of the year, but his large flock of sheep doesn't have any. One can be sold, the regret in my heart.

"That Luo Meng in your village, did you say that you want to come over to buy sheep these two days?"

"Oh, he came to me two days ago to ask, why, he went today."

"wonder if it is or not."

"What do you look like?"

"It's about 1.7 meters seven, not very tall, and looks gentle, so I can bargain."

"It's him, no mistake."
