"It's not like I've done any research, but I've seen several kinds when I was studying with my master!" Lu Chen said with a smile, "This kind of sheep is called Fuhai big-tailed sheep, also known as Altay sheep. A kind of sheep from the Altay Mountains of Tubo, this sheep is a big fat sheep!" Lu Chen pointed to one of the sheep with a huge tail and said to Du Chengze.
Du Chengze looked at the sheep that Lu Chen was pointing to, and quickly took out his notebook and wrote down what Lu Chen said. Du Chengze had a feeling in his heart that his father-in-law definitely did not introduce these sheep to him casually. Variety, there must be a deep meaning.
Then Lu Chen pointed to two other sheep and introduced to Du Chengze the breeds of these two sheep. One was the Ujimqin sheep and the other was the Tan sheep. In general, the three types Lu Chen knew were all Edible sheep.
Moreover, the biggest feature of these three types of sheep is that they can be raised rough, and Lu Chen was very surprised to find purebred Tan sheep. You must know that in later generations, due to the lag in the development and sales of Tan sheep products, the price of 2-hair furs continued to rise. In addition, due to year-round grazing and less supplementary feeding, Tan sheep are small and produce less meat. At the beginning of the 21st century, due to the total grazing ban in Ningxia, the cost of raising Tan sheep increased. A large number of farmers reduced the scale of breeding, and even introduced small-tailed Han sheep or meat sheep from other countries in the world to cross-breed with Tan sheep. The number of purebred Tan sheep decreased. Significantly reduced. This has resulted in a small number of original Tan sheep producing areas, and some areas even no longer have purebred Tan sheep.
You know, Tan mutton is a good choice for hot pot! After all, the biggest feature of Tan mutton is that the fat is even, the meat is tender, not smelly or fishy, and it tastes delicious. After all, purebred Tan sheep are not big in size, and the weight of an adult ram is less than 100 kilograms, and this can They are all sheep raised in the pasture. Think about it, how good the quality of the meat is.
When he thought of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but pursed his lips. He was even prepared to get a tan sheep now, clean it up, and go back home to start the hot pot business.
As Lu Chen said this, Du Chengze took notes on the other side. At the same time, he also ordered people to pick out the three types of sheep Lu Chen mentioned and centrally manage them of the same type.
"I don't even know what breeds these are left!" After the three types of sheep that Lu Chen knew were picked out, there were still more than a hundred sheep left. They were of mixed types. Lu Chen also knew them, but some of them were mixed. The fur was thick, and Lu Chen also ordered someone to pick it out. This "sheep"-like existence was the best breed of sheep that provided wool. Lu Chen even told Du Chengze that the selected sheep were not allowed to be eaten and could only be kept. Hair production.
Of course, this is temporary. When there are more of these sheep, you will still have to eat them.
As for cows and horses, to be honest, Lu Chen couldn't understand these things. However, Lu Chen knew that cows were an indispensable labor force for farming, so he ordered people to take good care of them.
Lu Chen couldn't understand horses. In Lu Chen's eyes, he could only tell whether the horse was "fat or thin." As for whether it was a slave horse or a war horse, he had to find a professional to tell the difference.
After Lu Chen looked around at the cattle, sheep and horses, he took Qian Junnan back to the front hall with great satisfaction.
"Little fat guy, you did a good job!" Lu Chen praised Qian Junnan.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Qian!" Qian Junnan hurriedly saluted Lu Chen and said with pleasure on his face.
"What goods are those Hu merchants exchanging?" Lu Chen looked at Qian Junnan and asked. Qian Junnan hurriedly reported the quantity of goods requested by He Futai and others to Lu Chen.
"It's not a lot! Later, you can take away the iron stove and the glass balls! As for the furniture, you can just bring it from Shengshi's warehouse!" Lu Chen agreed simply.
"Yes!" After Qian Junnan accepted the order, he did not leave immediately, but waited for Lu Chen's next instructions.
Lu Chen waved to Qian Junnan, and Qian Junnan quickly bowed in front of Lu Chen.
"When they are about to leave the Tang Dynasty, let the news out, understand?" Lu Chen warned Qian Junnan in his ear.
"I understand!" Qian Junnan nodded.
"Remember, don't involve us when you go!" After Lu Chen warned Qian Junnan again, he indicated that Qian Junnan could go and do things. Qian Junnan said goodbye to Lu Chen and left the front hall.
"By the way, Gouwa, is there any news from Ye Tong?" Looking at Qian Junnan's leaving figure, Lu Chen directly asked Liu Jing beside him.
"There's no news yet, why don't I ask?" Liu Jing bowed and replied.
"It's okay to ask!" Lu Chen thought about it for a moment, then nodded. After all, Ye Tong's escorts will be needed later on in this matter. "However, you don't need to go this time, let others go!" Lu Chen warned directly. Liu Jing said something, and Liu Jing took the order to find someone to ask Ye Tong.
The arrival of a thousand cattle, sheep and horses directly made Lujiazhuang lively. After all, this number of cattle, sheep and horses was not a small number in this era.
Of course, according to Lu Chen's original plan, the breeding place and the breeding candidates had already been found. However, due to classification reasons, the breeders found a lot more people. Of course, this has greatly increased the population today. It's not a big deal in Lujiazhuang, not to mention that the women and children of many farmers can also help with this matter.
Lu Chen returned to the study and studied the wool spinning machine.
They said they were studying the spinning machine, but they were actually drawing the drawings of the Jenny spinning machine. Originally, Lu Chen thought that this thing would have to wait for him to sort out the cotton before it could be used. However, when he saw those sheep today, Lu Chen I thought of things like wool. I don’t have cotton at the moment, but wool is also a good thing!
As for who will make it, you still have to choose! It must be Xu Gaofeng, the "chief engineer" of Gongfang District.
Just when Lu Chen was drawing (copying) the drawings of the spinning jenny, Liu Jing knocked on the study door.
"Come in!" Lu Chen stopped writing and said, and then Liu Jing opened the study door and walked in.
"There's news from Ye Tong!" Liu Jing looked at Lu Chen and bowed and said.
"What did he say?" Lu Chen looked at Liu Jing and asked directly.
"Then Ye Tong said that the chief escorts of three escort agencies have already arrived, and the other two will arrive in Chang'an in about three to five days!" Liu Jing and Lu Chen reported directly.
"In three or five days..." Lu Chen heard Liu Jing's report and pondered for a moment, "It's enough time. In this way, you can ask someone to inform Ye Tong that in six days, I, Changyuan Tower, will entertain them. These chief escorts are eating!" Lu Chen directly ordered Liu Jing.
