"By the way, sister, you just said you would help us pick sheep together. Do you have any skills in picking sheep?"
Remembering that Mei You selected the sheep in front of her, Mei Berry was especially curious about Mei You's criteria for selecting sheep.
"I don't have any skills. I just have a little experience in certain aspects. Moreover, I have observed these people for a long time, and they don't look like serious sheep farmers."
As soon as Mei You said this, Mei Bei was stunned. She turned around and wanted to take a look at the people selling sheep over there, but it seemed that another group of people had come over there and they were blocked tightly. She didn't see anything.
She was curious about how Meiyou could tell that he was not a serious sheep farmer.
"Sheep are sold on a single basis, male or female, big or small. Who raises sheep and sells them with their eyes closed? Are they not afraid of losing money?"
Meiyou's suspicion about those selling sheep came to his ears again.
"But I heard from others that these cashmere sheep are quite expensive at fifteen taels each, while the local sheep are less than eight taels... Is this considered a loss?" Mei Bei told Mei You what she just heard in the crowd.
"Really? If cashmere sheep only sell meat, the price per kilogram is basically two or three times that of local mutton. It is normal for the price of a whole sheep to be two or three times more expensive than local sheep.
Besides, there is a pregnant ewe here. Is it still a loss to sell it like this? "
"Pregnant... huh?"
Mei Bei understood what Mei You said and was almost stunned by the surprise!
"All six of these are pregnant?"
Meiyou: "...and two rams."
"Oh, that's great too. I got four lambs for free hahahaha~"
After learning that some of the sheep she bought were pregnant with babies, and this was a buy-one-get-one-free deal, Mei Mei didn't have time to put down the raised corners of her mouth until Mei Youqian came back.
Mei Youqian worked quickly enough. He had already found a ship carrying cargo from the south and promised to take them for a while and set off in an hour.
Meiberry and the others didn't drag it. Now that they found the ship, they quickly led the sheep onto the cargo ship.
The volume of this cargo ship is much larger than that of a ship dedicated to carrying passengers.
So that when Mayberry stood on the stern deck and looked into the distance, she felt as if she was climbing up and looking into the distance.
However, because it was a cargo hauler, the overall environment on the ship was relatively bad, and there was nothing very clean.
The boss of the ship was a rough and tumble man. Seeing that Mei Berry and the others were carrying six sheep, he arranged them in a remote cabin at the stern of the ship and told them not to walk around casually and to keep an eye on the sheep and stay away from the main deck. there.
In this way, Meiberry and the others stayed on the deck at the stern of the ship and watched the scenery.
"I wonder if your mother has done anything about the stall today."
When this person is free, he will think about his family.
Mei Youqian sat at the hatch of the boat, drinking water and muttering.
"It shouldn't be difficult." Mayberry shook her head, "We'll find out when we get back."
Seeing Mei You blowing in the wind and saying nothing, she looked at Mei You curiously and asked, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
"Hmm... I'm thinking about how to tell where these sheep came from when I go back."
Mayberry: 0.0?
Mei Youqian: 0.0!
oops!
When they were buying sheep, they called a superior, but they forgot to buy three adult sheep. By then, there must be a lot of gossip in the village!
This is not about buying a lamb. For an adult sheep, even if they don’t know the goods, they still have to calculate it at seven or eight taels, right?
You can take out twenty or thirty taels in one go. You, Mei Lao Er (Three), are making a fortune!
"Ah, this, this, this..."
Mayberry and his daughter were also dumbfounded. How can I put this?
"My family will definitely not earn this kind of money from selling rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. But even if we did, who would believe that you bought all the sheep? There will probably be more people coming to inquire, covet, and borrow money."
What Mei Youqian said is true.
Just like when a neighbor at the door of Mayberry's house won 10 million in the lottery, he really had to move overnight.
The next day when the Mayberry family went out, they saw a bunch of relatives and friends gathered at the door of their neighbor's house who they had not seen much in the past. They also asked them where they had gone.
Only by muttering can you make a fortune!
"Can you say that you are herding sheep for others?" Mei Berry couldn't help but ask.
"As a real sheep farmer, I ask you to raise three sheep?" Mei You asked.
"Just say that this sheep is either from our family, or it was raised by someone else! The person who helped us is not a serious sheep farmer!"
Mei Youqian slapped his thigh and made a friend out of nowhere.
Meiberry couldn't help but stare at her father, wondering how anyone could believe such an outrageous setting?
Then Mayberry heard her father say again: "That's the friend who lent me money to repair the house!"
When Mei Youqian built the house, he claimed that he had borrowed money from others.
As for who to borrow, it’s not from the village.
"This friend of mine is a certain boat boss who travels all over the country. He is so busy that he stays on the water all year round.
No, I happened to meet someone selling Hanzhou cashmere sheep in the county town. In the early years, I, the ship owner, also went to Hanzhou and tasted this sheep, so I bought it specially.
But considering that it was difficult to keep sheep on the ship, I was entrusted with raising them and was given a sum of money to take care of them.
Wait until the weather gets cold and the river freezes, then send the sheep back to be slaughtered when you come back for the festival hehehe~"
Mei Bei and Mei You looked at the complete story that their father had just made up. The two little girls were stunned for a moment.
"I have a good relationship with my third brother. We divided the six sheep between us and gave three of them to my third brother's family. Those mosquito legs are also meat, right? If you have money, let's make it together!"
Hearing that even her own side had been informed, Meiyou couldn't help but slowly turned around and looked at Meiberry, her eyes full of "Are you sure this is your dad?"
Mayberry tilted her head towards Meiyu and blinked.
Probably~
After all, her father was able to open a gym in front of the community as a middle-aged man, and it lasted for more than ten years.
Winning over the fitness professionals in the one-third of an acre of land in front of her home, she defeated all the handsome guys and beautiful female fitness trainers who had tried to compete with her dad over the years.
Her dad is quite capable.
After the origin of the sheep was solved, the three of them were completely relaxed. They sat in the cabin without closing the door, looking at the blue sky and enjoying the wind blowing outside.
Even the six cashmere sheep stood aside obediently.
It was quiet on their side, and the noise around them gradually amplified in their ears.
Especially as the ship is about to leave the dock, the people on the ship seem to be even busier.
"Boom!" With a sound, Meiberry and the three of them were startled by the noise coming from their cabin.
"Shh-"
Just when Mei You was about to make a gesture of silence, it seemed that the people next door were more nervous than them, and a shush was clearly transmitted to them as if there was no partition.
"You're so frivolous, you look like you're useless!" A low scolding sound came from next door again.
Meiberry and the three of them made eye contact with each other and then stopped talking.
But the voice from the other side never stopped.
"Damn it, I haven't even used my money to warm it up, and I'm being targeted! Thanks to the boss for reminding me, don't go back the same way after doing this, go south first, and then sneak back, so as not to be exposed..."
A vote?
After catching the keyword, the expressions on Mayberry's and others' faces suddenly changed.
It's not like they're thinking of something bad, right?
Just when Meiberry and the others were worried that they were thinking too much, the neighbor continued: "But it doesn't look like the one who is staring at us..."
As he spoke, the voice on the other side lowered again. What could happen at such a critical moment? !
Mei Youqian's face twisted into a bun, and just when he was about to put his ears against the template partition, Mei You's expression changed, and he grabbed Mei Youqian's back collar and pulled it back!
I saw a short knife poked out of the wooden wall where Mei Youqian used to be...
Mei Youqian: Thank you niece for saving my dog’s life!
Mayberry:......
Meiyou:......
