Their sheep need to be packaged and sold, which requires manpower.
For a time, Shi Wen's ranch was unusually busy, with two or three hundred people moving back and forth.
Their dogs stayed in the crowd to observe.
Despite the large number of people present, the area didn't feel chaotic at all, perhaps because of the dogs.
Fu Meng was one of the few people who knew just how valuable their family's mutton was.
Seeing their wholesale shipments, Fu Meng couldn't help but say to Shi Wen, "Who would have thought that when you first came here to run a ranch, things would turn out this way?"
Shi Wen sighed deeply, "Not to mention others, even I couldn't have imagined it."
Fu Meng: "Your mutton sells for such a high price, and it still sells so well. That's quite an achievement."
Shi Wen smiled and said, "Mainly because the lamb in my family is quite warming and nourishing."
Zhu Ji has already brought down the test results for this year's mutton.
The test result for their mutton was 232. Although it wasn't very high, it was already a very good result for an individual farmer.
Zhu Ji also congratulated him and placed a large order on his WeChat mini-program, buying the maximum amount of ten jin (5 kg).
If mutton weren't metabolized after consumption and couldn't be used as medicine, the price of their mutton could easily increase tenfold.
Of course, Shi Wen is not the kind of person who would set particularly high prices for his own products.
Starting at 1,800 yuan per kilogram, this price is already quite considerable for him.
Zhu Ji came over and asked, "How many sheep do you have left that are ready for market?"
Shi Wen, "There are 213 in total. Apart from keeping 50 for our own consumption and for the exhibition, the rest can be slaughtered gradually."
Their ewes are pregnant, and a new batch of lambs will be born in late September or early October.
Processing these sheep now also makes room to welcome new lambs.
Of course, the main reason is that it's not worth continuing to raise them.
These sheep have almost reached their growth limit. If they are raised any longer, the feed conversion ratio will worsen, meaning that it will take more feed for each sheep to gain one kilogram of meat.
Although they wouldn't lose much money, Shi Wen, as a shrewd rancher, still didn't want to lose money.
Zhu Ji Shi Wen: "Our Abnormal Affairs Bureau wants to discuss a business deal with you."
Shi Wen had already guessed. "Is it the overseas distribution rights for our family's mutton?"
Zhu Ji gave him a thumbs up. "I just wanted to get to know you a little first, to see if you're interested. If you think it's a good idea, I'll bring Duan Kuo over tomorrow to talk to you formally."
Shi Wen Wenxiao said, "That's no problem, as long as you pay enough. The mutton we'll give you this time will be at least 1,800 RMB per jin (500g). The price for the next batch of mutton will be determined after the next batch comes out, depending on the situation."
Zhu Ji: "No problem, that's only right. Do you have any other requests?"
Shi Wen smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm easily satisfied, not a greedy person. Besides, you guys gave me the ranch, so giving you the agency rights is nothing."
Zhu Ji gave him a thumbs up. "Meeting you is the greatest fortune of my life."
Shi Wen looked at him suspiciously. "Do you have three lifetimes? Haven't you only lived one lifetime from ancient times to the present? By the way, what is your bloodline? I still don't know."
Zhu Ji snorted twice at his joke and said, "I can't say that. My bloodline is more sensitive than my sexual orientation. Why don't you ask me something else? I'll try my best to accommodate any gossip you want to know now."
Shi Wen thought for a long time, trying to find a valuable piece of gossip to ask, but after thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of anything.
He and Zhu Ji stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Zhu Ji exclaimed in shock, "Really? You've been here for so long and have been involved in so many things at the Abnormal Affairs Bureau, don't you have any gossip you'd like to know?"
"What misunderstanding do you have about my relationship with Yan Kexing? If it were something I wanted to know, he would have told me long ago. If it's something he can't tell me—" Shi Wen's gaze fell on Zhu Ji, "Can you tell me some gossip that Yan Kexing can't talk about?"
Zhu Ji immediately shrank back. "That still won't work, I'll get beaten to death."
Shi Wen chuckled, "So there's really no gossip I want to hear."
Zhu Ji patted him on the shoulder. "I like upright and selfless young people like you."
Shi Wen: "Get lost!"
Harvest season always brings joy, and even Zhu Ji seemed to become much more lively.
Shi Wen that the mutton purchased by the members was delivered to the delivery company, and then I discussed overseas matters with the Abnormal Affairs Bureau.
They signed an agency agreement where Shi Wen wouldn't have to Shi Wen anything; all he had to do was supply mutton regularly.
Shi Wen, "To be honest, are you just making up an excuse to give me money?"
Zhu Ji: "Are you short of money right now?"
Shi Wen shaking their heads.
Zhu Ji said cheerfully, "Then we won't send you anything you don't need. Our Abnormal Affairs Bureau tends to help those in need; adding to someone's existing wealth is of little value."
Shi Wen smiled and said, "Isn't this your personal style?"
Zhu Ji: "Pretty much. Anyway, I'm the one in charge here at the J Province Abnormal Affairs Bureau."
Shi Wen's mutton was so good that just two days after he signed the contract with the Abnormal Affairs Bureau, he received a call from overseas saying they wanted to buy his mutton and the price was negotiable.
The caller identified himself as a manager of a livestock group from a certain country.
Shi Wen and knew it was a top international company.
He had never had any contact with such top-tier companies before, and he never expected that the call would actually reach him.
It has to be said that it's quite an achievement to be sought after for cooperation by such a large company.
Shi Wen was secretly pleased and gave Zhu Ji and the others' contact information to the head of the large company opposite, saying that the overseas agency rights had been signed and that they should talk to Zhu Ji.
