Chapter 77

Shi Wen a moment's hesitation, Shi Wen finally agreed, "I'll go and see. If I can't help in the end, I won't accept any payment."

Ma Chengfeng said happily, "Then thank you for your help. Shall we set off now?"

So rushed?

That works too.

Shi Wen had no objections. "Please wait for me to explain."

Ma Chengfeng nodded repeatedly. "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Shi Wen told Yang Yiqing about it.

Yang Yiqing cautioned, "The current premium for Dolan Sheep is too high, and there's a suspicion of speculation. Be careful when buying it."

Shi Wen Wenxiao said, "I know, I'm just going to broaden my horizons."

Shi Wen explaining the ranch situation, Shi Wen rode in Ma Chengfeng's car to meet up with his friend.

His friend, a member of an ethnic minority named Qile Moge, immediately came up to shake his hand upon Shi Wen him. "I've heard so much about you! I even tasted the sheep you raised last year; it was absolutely delicious. I've rarely met anyone who truly impresses me these days; you're one of the rare exceptions."

Shi Wen asked, completely bewildered, "My sheep?"

Qile Moge: "Yes, I ate it in City B, and the taste was absolutely amazing. I was wondering where the lamb was so delicious, and I specifically asked the waiter to ask. I never expected it to be from your restaurant."

Shi Wen, "That's quite a coincidence."

Qile Moge: "I was just about to ask, are you selling sheep this year? I'd like to pre-order one. Your sheep are delicious, but they're too expensive at the restaurant, I can't afford them."

Shi Wen curiously, "How expensive?"

"Three thousand eighty-one small plates." Qile Moge gestured with his hand to indicate the size of the plates. "They were so delicious, I ate five plates by myself in one go, almost bankrupting myself."

Three thousand eight! Duan Haoying was only willing to pay one hundred and thirty-five yuan per catty when buying live sheep from him.

Shi Wen silently calculated how many times the price difference was, and then felt a heart attack for the first time.

Indeed, no merchant is without guile.

When Qile Moge Shi Wen seemed very excited. "You raise sheep really well. I didn't expect there to be such a capable person as you in this area. After learning that Chairman Ma knew you, I asked him to introduce me. Today I finally got the chance."

Shi Wen frankly admitted, "I'm only familiar with fat-tailed sheep; I haven't had any formal contact with Dolan Sheep yet."

Qile Moge's words echoed Ma Chengfeng's, "It's alright, sheep are all interconnected. You raise fat-tailed sheep so well, you can definitely tell something from other sheep too. I've also invited other experienced people to take a look, there won't be any mistakes."

Shi Wen that there were other people around, he felt relieved.

Along the way, Qile Moge Shi Wen with him about his experiences raising sheep.

Qile Moge also a sheep farmer, but he raises high-end sheep, the kind that play music for them, and his mutton is mainly exported.

The situation at Shi Wen, where dozens of sheep are crammed into one sheepfold, is completely different from what they're doing.

The sellers of Dolan Sheep are in the south.

As the car headed south, Shi Wen could clearly feel that the climate was drier and the roadside scenery was more desolate.

The situation is better to the north, but much of the Gobi Desert to the south is saline-alkali land, which would be more advantageous for sheep farming.

Lamb raised in saline-alkali soil has a more tender texture, a sweeter taste, and less of a gamey smell.

Of course, this is just a comparison between ordinary sheep; those that Shi Wen cheat codes don't count.

After picking up another person on the way, they finally drove to a large compound.

The architecture here is completely different from that in N City. There are many mud houses with thick thatch on the roofs. Now that spring has arrived, the grass seeds have fallen onto the grass and sprouted tender shoots.

This family that raises Dolan Sheep is considered a large household.

His family owns more than 500 large Dolan Sheep. Based on the average price of Dolan Sheep of more than 20,000 yuan, his family is also a multi-millionaire.

Shi Wen followed behind, head down, and entered the sheepfold.

The sheep owner was also from an ethnic minority, and Shi Wen couldn't quite understand his language. Ma Chengfeng and Qile Moge, however, could communicate directly with the owner.

Because he couldn't understand, Shi Wen could only look at the sheep in the sheepfold.

Dolan Sheep and fat-tailed sheep look completely different; they are more delicate and slender. You can tell Shi Wen their heads, chests, and hooves that these sheep are well-raised.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that these sheep were of a higher quality.

I have a feeling that these sheep contain something richer, something more nutritious.

This Shi Wen the first time I've felt this way.

He surveyed the sheep, and the others noticed his expression. Qile Moge asked in Mandarin, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No, no." Shi Wen smiled. "These sheep are very good."

The sheep owner breathed a sigh of relief and started chattering away again.

Ma Chengfeng translated for Shi Wen, "He said his sheep are excellent and have been recognized by customers in several countries..."

Shi Wen nodded absentmindedly, deciding to call Yan Kexing later.

Chapter 77

The owner of the Dolan Sheep took them to see the finished sheep, and then to see the lambs.

Shi Wen had delivered many lambs at his home and was very familiar with the lambs. Even if they were different breeds, he could recognize them at a glance. These Dolan Sheep lambs were just a month old and it was time for them to be separated from their mothers.

After the owner of the Dolan Sheep showed them the lambs, he indicated that they could choose a lamb.

Qile Moge was eager to try. "Mr. Shi, why don't you choose with me?"

Shi Wen suppressed his various thoughts, nodded, and walked into the sheepfold with Qile Moge. Another experienced sheep selector that Qile Moge had invited also entered the sheepfold.

The lamb seemed a little uneasy when it saw them come in.

They Shi Wen ignoring the lambs' bleating and choosing to watch directly.

Dolan Sheep and fat-tailed sheep are indeed different, but sheep do have common characteristics, such as skeletal structure, robustness, and vitality.

Shi Wen could easily tell which sheep were good and which were just average just by looking at Dolan Sheep, and he could select them very quickly.
