Chapter 487 Dividing cattle and sheep

Yan Laoer said loudly: "You all remember the prices of cattle and sheep first. Let's talk about the points later. One point is worth one tael of silver. It's easy to calculate. How many points you have is equivalent to how much silver you have. It's your turn.

, you can buy cattle or sheep, you can just sell the points if you don't want to buy, you can discuss it yourself if someone buys it, come to the waiter to record it, you can give the money privately, or sell it directly to the waiter.

it's the same."

The ratio of cattle and sheep grazing in Beirong is imbalanced. There are more than 400 sheep and only about 70 cattle.

General Xue Qi said that these hundreds of Beirong soldiers should have just been separated this winter. The place they found might be a newly opened pasture.

This winter has been difficult, and the same applies to the grasslands. In such a year, Beirong will spread out the grazing cattle and sheep to avoid insufficient winter pasture for cattle and sheep to eat. There are also horses. Horses are also big grazers, so they also prevent

When the White Disaster comes, herds of cattle, sheep and horses freeze to death.

There may be old sheep hidden in the flock that have not been picked out. Because there are few cattle, the old sheep are extremely conspicuous. They may not even wait until they are too old, but will be slaughtered and eaten in the last moments of their prime.

Bulls were eaten before cows, so among the more than 70 cows, there were more cows.

Excluding the calves, there are not many strong adult bulls.

The people of Xiao'an Village not only want a strong bull that is easy to work with, but also care about the ability of the cow to give birth to calves. If they raise it for two or three years, they will have another cow. They are not entangled in the choice of male and female.

The Yan family does not have such worries.

Yan Laoer said: "In order of score, our family has the most, let me give you a sample."

The Yan family's outstanding score is not due to the waiter, but to the head of the family, Yan Huaiwen.

For the first time, Yan Yu and Qi Si went over the mountain to explore the location of this small group of Beirong soldiers. The two men made great achievements in their search, but their subsequent collective actions were not as dazzling as Yan Huaiwen's.

Yan Huaiwen rode his horse and drew his bow. He was not only handsome, but also had outstanding achievements.

In fact, Hu Daluo Er and Sun Erdan also performed very well, especially Hu Da. There was no Beirong who could stand under the arrow. However, the people of Xiaoan Village have such double standards.

When Hu Da and others joined the border army, they should share the benefits from the frontier army. Military achievements, promotions, and silver rewards were all irrelevant to the village.

It is true that they did their best, but they did not work hard for the village.

The village elders can clearly tell the difference between the inside and the outside. Even Uncle Hu doesn't say a word that is wrong.

But when he arrived at Yan Huaiwen's place, several old men gave him various excuses. If it wasn't for the scholar, how could we get these old cattle and sheep? They completely forgot about Yan Laoer, the main force in the negotiation, and said that the scholar had worked hard.

After coming all the way back, I didn't even have time to take a breath before leading people to kill. It was such a cold weather...

Yan Laoer only felt that they had been freezing those days for nothing. They had to go back and forth over the mountains, not to mention how far they had walked. They were attacked by a pack of wolves when they came back. They lost not a single cow or a sheep, but killed countless others.

The village elders are just...hehe...

Originally Yan Laoer was still a little emotional, but Yan Yu shouted back to him.

Dad, are you stupid?

Calculating points for the uncle, for us it means the meat rots in the pot, what a good thing!

Is it because cows are not popular or because sheep and goats are not delicious to eat?!

Since it was proofing, Yan Laoer was not polite and said: "Our family has a total of 600 nods. We want ten pairs of cows and calves, which is twenty. No matter how big or small the sheep are, we can catch a hundred.

The rest will be sold to the Qi family."

They say they are selling, but they are actually giving, but it is difficult to say it clearly in front of the villagers.

Previously, his daughter and Qi Si brought back two cows, one large and one small. They agreed that the calf would be given to the Qi family once it was older and weaned. Now that there were more adult cows to choose from, the share was directly transferred to the Qi family.

It would be better for them to buy it themselves than to have their cows separated from their mother.

At this moment, the villagers looked at Yan Laoer with red-eyed envy.

No jealousy.

Everyone knows how the points are calculated, and there is no fraud at all. They took the initiative to include Xiucai Gong in the calculation, and they were willing to do so.

The more the Yan family gets, the happier they are, and they are more satisfied than if they get cattle and sheep themselves.

The simple people of Xiaoan Village have never forgotten who led them step by step through hard times.

After the Yan family came the Qi family.

The elder Hu is not included in the village. How can Hu Er compare with the three brothers of the Qi family by himself?

Qi Da came forward and asked angrily: "Yan Er, our family is half as big as yours, is it enough?"

Yan Laoer calculated in his mind for a while and asked him: "Does your family also want cows?"

Qi Da quickly shook his head, "I have to buy a male, that cow."

Although the Qi brothers are more naive, they know that the cow will not be affected by anyone else's house. It can only survive in their own house.

The three brothers were so strong that it didn't matter whether they plowed the land with oxen or not. The work of plowing the land was nothing to them.

But they didn't know how to buy it, so Mrs. Qi made the final decision and left with the Yan family.

"Then you bring five cows and calves, plus the cow, and the rest is enough to buy... fifty-two sheep."

The sheep always get together, and they count them with great difficulty, but they don't price the male and female lambs like cattle, because they can't tell which ewe is carrying the lamb...

We had no choice but to set a unified price. Anyway, sheep grow fast and get bigger as they grow.

As soon as Yan Laoer finished speaking, Qi Da nodded without thinking.

Yan Laoer asked him again: "What's your remaining share?"

Qi Da said without hesitation: "Sell it to the waiter."

Yan Yu grinned and raised her head to give Uncle Qi a bright smile.

With the Yan family and Qi family as examples, the rest will be much simpler.

The cows cost twenty cents, the bulls twenty-two cents, and the calves, about twenty cents each, had to be sold along with the cows. The Yan family and the Qi family took most of them in one go.

The one ranked behind the Qi family is not the Hu family, but the Luo family.

After the Luo family came the Guan Butcher's family. Hu Er waited and waited, one after another, and finally waited for him.

I quickly bought two cows, a male and a female, and the rest I bought sheep.

There are a few people left who buy cattle together, and they rush to buy both bulls and cows.

Sheep Guo was not very popular as Yan Laoer and Yan Yu expected.

Yan Yu generously bought all the remaining points, which also meant that all the remaining sheep fell into the Yan family.

Those who bought the cattle were happy, and those who didn't bought were not disappointed. Yan Yu's price was only slightly cheaper than the market price. If they really wanted to buy it, they had enough money in their hands.

In short, everyone has candy to eat.

"Xiao Er, if your family has bought such cattle and sheep, do you have the manpower to take care of them?" Wang Gonggong took advantage of the excited and lively discussion among the others and came over and asked.

"Grandpa Wang, don't be afraid, there are people in our village who will take care of you," Yan Yu said.

Eunuch Wang said again: "Raising cattle and sheep in Beirong is not the same as raising cattle and sheep. Why don't you find some experienced herdsmen for your family..."
