Chapter 329 Bai Ziyi
Li Sanniang, who was enlightened by the words of the old doctor Liang and the young boy from Shaoyang, has been busy on duty these days, so she took advantage of these words. Forgot.
After the shift ended today, Li Sanniang asked Nineteen to transfer to the West Market.
In the past few days, Li Sanniang has seen many merchants driving cattle and sheep to sell, and there are even more than a dozen wool trucks driving together, which is very spectacular.
“It’s getting cold and it’s winter. It’s time to eat mutton to replenish your body.
Now that there are many sheep, they will definitely be much cheaper. If they are much cheaper, we will buy two. Otherwise, we will buy one and take it home to eat. ”
Li Sanniang said this to Qiuxiang and Shijiu.
Not to mention, the carriage had just been parked outside the West Market and before it could enter the West Market, Li Sanniang’s keen I smelled the fishy smell of sheep, which was quite unpleasant.
Enduring the discomfort, Li Sanniang quickly took off the sachet from her waist and put it to her nose.
In the end, Qiu Xiang and Li Sanniang were waiting by the carriage.
By the time we returned to Li's house, it was already dark.
As soon as she got off the carriage, Li Sanniang saw Mrs. Li waiting at the door.
Nineteen lifted up the tied, skinned and internalized little lamb from the back of the carriage.
“Oh, Sanniang, why did you bring the sheep back?”
“Yes”?
Li Sanniang was surprised, why was there someone in the family buying sheep?
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter, have you gone shopping? I asked Shijiu specifically, saying that the family didn't buy sheep during the day?"
Jiujiu asked Li Sanniang With a look in her eyes, she quickly replied: "Sanniang, when I came out of the house, I really didn't buy anything."
Sister-in-law Li clapped her hands and asked several people to quickly enter the house, and said to Li Sanniang: "Hi , this is not a coincidence.
Not even a quarter of an hour after Shijiu left, Qiuniang and Tuwa brought Bai Ziyi and others.
They brought two lambs that had been skinned and packed, and even the entrails were brought together in a basket. "
Li Sanniang finally understood the whole story, wasn't it just a coincidence?
"Haha, it's okay, sister-in-law, we have a lot of family members, call Mrs. Qin and the master and the younger brother, and then In addition, Bai Ziyi and the others, as well as Hutou and the others, are also able to eat. I'm afraid they won't all be able to eat today. "
Walking into the yard, Li Sanniang added another sentence to Sister-in-law Li: "Sister-in-law, don't forget to save it for the eldest brother in advance, otherwise we all eat it and the eldest brother doesn't eat it. "
Sister-in-law Li couldn't help but smile, "I know, I can't forget your role as eldest brother. ”
After Li Sanniang washed her hands, she picked up Lu Zhu'er and went to the main hall, where she saw Li's father, Li's mother, and Li's second brother accompanying Bai Ziyi and others who were visiting Li's house.
The main hall is quite large, but when Li Sanniang looked at it, she felt it was a little cramped.
In fact, in addition to Tuwa, there are also eight-foot strong men Kesong and Lishan who have met several times before, and Li Dalang and Li Erlang who are accompanying them are too tall. How can such a few people have such a good physique? As soon as I sat down, the chair seemed a little smaller.
It was Shen Qiuniang who noticed Li Sanniang at the door first, "Sanniang, are you back?"
After everyone exchanged greetings, Li Sanniang asked Bai Zi, the person in charge between them. Yi Lai: "Brother Bai, it's really not easy. It will take about a month and a half, right?
Judging from your expressions, this sheep buying trip should go smoothly? "
Bai Ziyi grinned, stood up and saluted Li Sanniang.
"I would also like to thank Sanniang for the news. If Sanniang hadn't told me in advance, I would have brought it with me. Hatake returned to the tribe and ordered the sheep earlier, so he might not get such a big deal. ""oh? What does Brother Bai mean? "Second brother Li also asked with some curiosity.
Before Bai Ziyi could reply, Kesong, who was sitting next to him like a black mountain, suddenly stood up and said to everyone while dancing. Get up.
"Hey, the boss took us on horseback and rushed back to the tribe where Hagi Deta Aye was. We made appointments with several families and talked for several days before settling on the sale of the sheep.
A few days later, Tuva and his friends drove over to trade with goods and money.
It was a coincidence that as soon as we finished the transaction, the big merchants from the Western Regions sent people to come over. They want to collect cattle and sheep!
The price offered is 20% higher than us, but they have to send them to the pass themselves.
We are all flags. I had to find someone to help me get to the pass, but it didn’t cost much.”
After Kesong finished speaking, Bai Ziyi answered: "It was only later that I found out that a large businessman was collecting wool, and of course they also collected live sheep.
The price of cattle on the grassland has increased this year It has increased by more than 20%, let alone sheep. Hatake said, it has increased by almost 35%."
After hearing this, Li Sanniang was thinking: "This seems to be what I mentioned before. It is on the agenda to let the grassland tribes of the Western Regions raise cattle and sheep on a large scale, especially sheep, to control the number of horses they raise.
Thus further cannibalizing their cavalry.”
However, what Li Sanniang asked was: "Brother Bai, what is the wool harvester used for?"
Bai Ziyi didn't expect Li Sanniang to ask about the wool, but he really went to inquire about it.
“I asked about it and said that I want to use wool spinning to knit some woolen clothes. It seems that it can be used for other purposes, I don’t know.”
< br>Father Li was concerned about the catgut, so he asked: "Bai Dalangjun, in the contract with the Imperial Medical Office, did you hand over the intestines that you wanted to collect?"
Bai Ziyi Seeing that it was Li's father who was asking, he sat upright and replied respectfully: "Doctor Li, I delivered it when I was outside the customs.
The Imperial Medical Office has hired specialized craftsmen to slaughter it on site. After receiving it, I took it away directly.
They set up a tent on the spot. There must be some special method of making it, which cannot be spread to outsiders. "
Father Li nodded to express his understanding.
After chatting for a while, it was getting late, and Bai Ziyi stood up and said, "Let us take care of those two sheep. There are so many people. , don’t bother your sister-in-law with her work. ”
Without waiting for Mrs. Li’s reply, they went directly to the kitchen, found firewood, built a bonfire in the yard, and set up a whole sheep.
Kesong He smiled and took out a cloth bag from the basket on the side, "Hey, I just told you to bring seasonings, the boss still thinks it's troublesome for me. ”
With that said, Kesong untied the cloth bag, grabbed the seasoning and applied it to the skinned sheep.
Finally, one sheep was roasted and the other was stewed.
When everything was done, more than ten members of the Li family, including Wu Qiaolan and Baoya who lived there, as well as Dr. Liang, Shaoyang young boy and Mr. Qin who lived in the yard next door, together with Bai Ziyi and the others, These two sheep ate everything.
Brother Li said that he would just let a few people stay in the yard next door, but Bai Ziyi shook his head: "Brother Li, stop working so hard. We have paid for the inn where we stayed in Fangli. Yes, we can’t waste it.”
The Lanzhou Ramen we had tonight had only two and a half slices of beef in the bowl. . . . . .
