Chapter 71: All Thirty Cattle
The cattle from Maotai Miao Village are raised by the villagers themselves and they don’t have the opportunity to transport them to the city for sale. The local Miao villagers in Maotai have no money, so the price has never been higher.
However, raising cattle is not expensive. Cows are gentle animals. They can be taken to the mountains to eat weeds and then taken home after eating them.
For such beef, if you don’t have food coupons, it’s a trivial point to increase the price of Lin’an.
As a qualified speculator, he certainly won't miss this good opportunity to make money.
Chen Xia sent a circle of cigarettes to the surrounding Miao people, and then quietly pulled the butcher Kalanba to the corner.
"Uncle, let's discuss with you how many cows do you have? I'm taking everything, but you have to be responsible for helping me slaughter."
This time it was Kalanba's turn to almost spray out a sip of salt soda.
He lived in his fifties and had never met such a big buyer.
Maotai Distillery consumes a lot of beef every year, but they have their own breeding factory and never come to Miao Village to buy cattle, so he has always been a small business. Is this a big order today?
"Foreigner, you are not kidding me, are you?"
Chen Xia patted the camera hanging on her chest and said with a smile: "Look at what this is? Do you think I need to joke with you?"
The butcher swallowed, "I, I have 5 cows, and you can sell them all to you if you want."
"How many pounds does this cow weigh? How many pounds of meat can you usually produce?"
"Our rule is that a cow can be slaughtered about 700 kilograms, and it can produce about 350 kilograms of meat. If you want it, you can give me 200 yuan for a cow. If you want me to slaughter you and give me cowhide, it will be considered as wages. What do you think?"
Chen Xia thought about it and didn't know what the local price is. Anyway, even if the butcher made money, it was his luck. He met his noble man.
"Okay, the price is up to you, and the cowhide is also given to you. There is no problem with these, but I have two requirements: 1. Do things to help me clean up and don't have any small amounts. 2. Please contact other butchers for me, and I will buy them."
"Okay, my little brother is a cheerful person. We Miao people will never do things that are sorry for your friends, and you will definitely be satisfied."
I heard that a foreigner came to buy all the cattle from the butcher Kalanba, and the Miao people in the entire village came out to watch the fun.
On the glutinous yard in front of the village, five cows were lined up, and the Miao people came forward to help, which was more lively than the New Year.
Chen Xia sat on the side and chatted with the young wives in the village. From time to time, he created some fruit candy to give to the children, which attracted cheers from the Miao people.
In less than half a day, the cattle farmers in the nearby Miao Village found out and drove their own cattle to sell.
Chen Xia thought that a cow costs 200 yuan, the price is too cheap.
But for these Miao people, it would be good to sell a cow for 200 yuan. This is a win-win deal, and both parties are satisfied.
On this day, Chen Xia bought a total of 30 cows, producing more than 10,000 kilograms of meat, and also had 5,000 kilograms of beef bones.
The Miao people really did what they said, sorting the beef clearly, and even washing the beef cleanly for Chen Xia.
It was not until night when a bonfire was lit in the open space.
Originally, the person was helping the butcher Ka Nongba, but Chen Xia didn't want to lose the Miao people. She pretended to go out for a while, and when she came back, she gave each Miao people who helped her a "production brand" cigarette.
8 cents per person, it’s best to give favors.
The Miao people who received the cigarettes were grateful and asked their wives to put them away and hid them at home.
The Miao people are too poor and are basically in the most primitive state of life. There are electric lights in the town, but there are no electric lights in the Miao villages outside the town.
In the end, Chen Xia gave the butcher 6,000 yuan in front of everyone. As for how to share the money, it was their business.
Kalanba was so excited that his hands were shaking. He couldn't count the money. Everyone's eyes were green in the surroundings.
Chen Xia spent another car with a "local sky-high price" of 2 yuan, hired 10 donkey carts and delivered all the beef to the side of the road outside the town.
There was a huge plastic sheet on the ground, and all the beef was piled up there waiting for the car to transport it.
Where did the cars come from on the road at this time? There were not even personal figures, and there were no street lights.
After the Miao people left, Chen Xia waited for another half an hour and made sure that there was no one around. With a wave of his hand, all the beef was hidden in the space hospital.
Fresh beef is full of blood, but fortunately there are no bacteria in the space and will not deteriorate.
If it is a hospital in reality, once the beef rots and becomes smelly, it will be a big disaster. The doctor can demolish and rebuild it.
When the incident was over, Chen Xia whistled and walked towards the town. Halfway through, he felt tempted to pee, so he walked off the road to pee by a big tree.
Suddenly, Chen Xia vaguely saw three people searching for something along the road.
Chen Xia quickly climbed a tree, and in the middle of the night, he searched the road with three sharp knives. He thought about it and knew that it must be for him.
After all, wealth is revealed, and people with a lot of heart are eyeing it. There are inevitably a few scum among the Miao people.
"Aqi, why didn't you see that foreigner?"
"Yes, Uncle Jiang clearly said that they even put the beef on the roadside, why did they disappear?"
"Forget it, I guess it's a car waiting, and I run away after installing it. What a pity, that foreigner must have a lot of money."
Several people walked away slowly as they spoke.
It was already very late when Chen Xia returned to the guesthouse, so she took a shower and went to bed.
I got up again after sleeping halfway, checked that the doors and windows were not broken, and then lay down.
After lying for a while, I felt unsafe, so I got into the space hospital again, so I could sleep peacefully.
Today is the 6th day since I came out, and Chen Xia decided to try his luck. What if he found a broker, he bought Moutai early and could go back to Yuezhou early.
Xu Rui's third uncle only met one time, so he may not be willing to help.
The guesthouse of the Moutai Factory is next to the Moutai Distillery. As soon as Chen Xia walked out in the morning, she met Xu Yuan with a painting board on her back and was coming out of the factory with two young men.
"Chen Xia! It's really you!"
Xu Yuan's voice is still so nice.
"You're here to Maotai? Why don't you come to play with us?"
Chen Xia smiled bitterly: "I have to come in, so I don't let me in the gate of Maotai Distillery enter. By the way, why are you going to do?"
"I'm going to go to the nearby Miao Village to sketch. These two comrades are my guide. Do you have something to do today? Why don't you accompany me to sketch? My brother and my future sister-in-law dumped me and went to the world of two people."
"Oh, I can be with a beautiful girl, let alone stay for a whole day, I will be willing to stay for the rest of my life, haha, let's go."
Xu Yuan also smiled happily.
