The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 227 Transporting Meat in Winter
Several people discussed it together and determined that this method was indeed feasible.

Moreover, Lin Hai specially drew a drawing and asked the craftsmen to bake it according to the shape and size of the drawing.

The herdsmen must be made to feel that this style of clay pot is more useful than an iron pot in all aspects.

"Also, let me give you another ingredient recipe for cooking mutton. On the grasslands, they almost always use clean water to cook mutton directly.

At most, just add some wild onions and salt.

If you use my recipe and buy more spices, you will definitely not want to eat mutton cooked with spices again.

Because the taste will be very different!
In this way, we have another good and profitable business.

In any case, there are so many herders, cattle and sheep on the prairie, which is definitely a huge treasure.

As long as you put a little more thought into it, you can definitely make a lot of money. "

Lin Hai expressed his thoughts.

Yuhuashi felt that it made sense after hearing this. Before, he only thought that tea was more profitable, so he didn’t think more about it.

I didn’t expect that my own business was still far behind. I didn’t think comprehensively enough.

"Brother Lin is right, I will send someone to buy it right away.

It seems that we can make a lot of money by trading with the Turks, and it will be very beneficial to us in Daxia. "

"Of course, the herdsmen are not only short of various spices, grains and salt.

Moreover, the tools they need in daily life are also in short supply.

We can even bring some needles and threads with us in the future, and they can be sold at a good price. "

Several people were discussing business matters while eating, and found that the Turks seemed to be lacking everything.

As long as they can be brought over, they can be exchanged for a large number of cattle and sheep.

The only bad thing is that cattle and sheep are not easy to transport. You can only sell these things to the border guards in order to get money at the minimum price.

If all these cattle and sheep were to be driven back, they would all have starved and lost weight along the way, and the amount of food and grass eaten by so many cattle and sheep on the road would be astronomical.

In addition, traveling long distances may cause death or injury, and in the end it is very likely that not only will you not make any money, but you will suffer huge losses.

Especially in the future, as the business grows bigger and bigger, the more cattle and sheep will be earned, and even the many soldiers at the border will not be able to eat them all.

After all, meat is more expensive than food.

If the soldiers eat mutton every day, the imperial government cannot afford it.

But it would be too expensive to transport all these living animals over long distances.

When Yuhuashi raised this situation, everyone was silent.

"How about we only deliver goods a few times a year and stop selling so many things." Princess Chenxi said.

"That's right, we have made enough money anyway, why not just sell tea and these pots.

There is no need to waste energy transporting spices and the like there. Lin Ruoxue also said.

Lin Hai smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have already thought of countermeasures for this situation in advance.

This time you go over and change as many sheepskins as possible.

The quality of the sheepskins on the grassland is very good, and they can be left for the soldiers at the border to make winter cotton clothes.

If you can't use it up, you can bring it back and sell it at a high price.

So at least the cattle and sheep collected during this business trip were not too many, and they could be bought at the border gate. "

Yuhuashi nodded slightly after hearing this: "That's true, but next time I ship the goods, I'm afraid the border customs won't be able to buy them all."

"The next time we deliver it, it should be the beginning of winter, and the weather will be extremely cold.

We were able to do business three times a year ago, and that was enough! "The key point is how we can bring back all the live cattle and sheep in this third business."

This is the most difficult problem to solve! " Yuhuashi said.

Lin Hai pointed at the sky with his finger: "The cold weather is not only a disadvantage, it also has great benefits!"

Yuhuashi was stunned when he heard this: "The weather is too cold and it may cause heavy snow to block the road, making it difficult for even carriages to move. How can we bring the cattle and sheep back?"

“You don’t need to sell all the cattle and sheep acquired for the third time to the soldiers at the border, and you don’t need to transport them over immediately.

Let it be raised in a safe place nearby for a while, until it starts to get cold here in the capital.

So they slaughtered all the sheep and rolled them into such large mutton rolls.

At night, pour water on the ground to make ice, and freeze these mutton rolls on the ice cubes.

This way it can be put on a carriage and transported all the way.

The same goes for the cattle. The cattle can be made locally without slaughtering them.

The mutton was hauled back by oxen.

After these cattle are brought back, they can be sold to the people for farming.

The reason why we have relatively few fields in Daxia is because there are too few cattle and the people cannot cultivate so many fields.

It would be too wasteful to slaughter all these cows for meat. "

Yuhuashi was shocked when he heard that this method was used to transport mutton.

This time he was completely convinced. He didn't know how many times he had sighed at how clever Lin Hai's idea was.

"Awesome, why have I never thought of such a method!
If the imperial court had known about this method earlier and slaughtered the animals in advance, more meat could be transported to the border.

The life of border officers and soldiers is not so hard! "

"Haha, I didn't come to the capital before, so there was nothing I could do.

Your words reminded me.

Carts made from there will be transported over there, and some pork will be brought there when the food is transported to them in winter.

No matter how much mutton you eat, you won't be able to get enough of it, but pork is more delicious.

In this way, so many carriages built will not be wasted. Lin Hai said with a smile.

"I finally understand why the Queen Mother values ​​you so much, and why the Prince dares to fully recommend you to be an official.

You are amazing.

Even if all the officials in the entire court combined, they may not have as many ideas as you. Princess Chenxi said with great emotion.

It seemed to them that it was something difficult to do, but for Lin Hai it could be easily solved and could bring huge profits.

Lin Hai smiled and said: "All the sheep on the grassland eat grass and drink spring water.

The meat quality of this kind of sheep is particularly good, and there is no fishy smell at all.

Whether making mutton soup or cooking, it tastes better than the mutton in the mainland.

And then we can open more restaurants and make mutton hot pot in winter.

Then you can make more money!

There are so many powerful people in the capital, and they have so much money that they can't even spend it.

Hot pot is just the thing to satisfy their appetite.Coupled with such good mutton, business will definitely be full. "
