Chapter 394 Testing
"So that's how it is." Xia Mingyue suddenly realized, walked to the sheepfold, looked at the fat and healthy sheep inside, and said with a smile, "Look at how well the sheep of Brother Li's family are raised. They are big and fat. No wonder even the restaurants in the city come here to buy sheep."

Farmers are most proud of their ability and experience. When they are praised, they can't help but smile. "It's not bad. I just need to be more diligent, cut more grass, and feed more."

"Brother Li is an expert at raising sheep, so I'd like to ask him if there is any trick to this. If Brother Li is willing to talk about it, we can learn from him and gain some experience. When we stay at my uncle's house in the future, we can raise lambs to earn some money and gain a firm foothold." Lu Qiyan suggested.

Li Guide was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw that Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue's eyes were full of anticipation, and thought that the two were not locals, even if they raised sheep in the future, it would not pose any threat to them, and it was not too secret, so he spoke up.

"We need to be diligent and keep the grass ready in autumn and winter. This is well known to everyone and is not a rare thing. The most important thing is that we have a secret recipe. As long as we mix this secret recipe with the grass and feed the sheep, the sheep will have a good appetite, eat more, and grow meat faster."

"So good?" Xia Mingyue was overjoyed. "I wonder what the secret recipe is?"

"We don't know what the secret recipe is. We only know that a peddler was selling it on the streets a while ago, saying it was a good thing and that eating it would help the sheep get rid of the worms in their stomachs and improve their appetite."

Li Guide said, "We didn't believe it at first, but the peddler just patted his chest and guaranteed that it would definitely work. If it didn't work, he would definitely not charge us. He was afraid that we would be worried, so he gave us a lot of it for free at the beginning and let us try it first."

"I didn't dare to try it at first, but after my neighbor fed this stuff to his sheep, the sheep ate a lot. After a few days, they became fatter and more lively. We believed it and fed some to our own sheep. It turned out to be quite effective."

"In other words, everyone who raises sheep in Lijiazhuang has fed this secret recipe to the sheep?" Xia Mingyue asked.

"Not only that, I've asked around, and I found out that the peddler has visited all the surrounding villages, and all the villages I know of are using this secret recipe." Li Guide said.

"Is this secret recipe expensive?" Xia Mingyue asked, "Where can I find this peddler?"

"The secret recipe is not expensive. Fifteen cents can buy half a pound of meat. Feed the sheep with it over five days, and they will basically grow two to three pounds of meat. If they feed for a longer period of time, they will grow even more meat."

Li Guide said, "As for this peddler, he comes here every once in a while to sell sheep feed. As for where he lives, I don't know..."

"I heard from the neighbors before that he seemed to live in Peijiazhuang, and the peddler also said his surname was Pei, so he should be a good person." said Li Guide's wife.

"Peijiazhuang..." Lu Qiyan muttered for a while, and said, "It seems to be not far from here, so let's go look for him. I just don't know if his surname is Pei or his name, so that we can find him easily once we get there."

"It seems to be Pei Youguang or something, I can't remember clearly, if that doesn't work, you can go ask again, or go to Peijiazhuang to ask around."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Xia Mingyue thanked her repeatedly, "Then let's ask around."

As they were talking, the wheat and dried sweet potatoes they wanted to buy had all been packed. After being weighed to make sure there were no problems, Lu Qiyan loaded all the things onto the ox cart and said goodbye to Xia Mingyue and left.

After leaving Lijiazhuang, Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan's faces both turned gloomy.

I had confirmed with Yin Lingyou before that white deer grass was very expensive, but the people in Lijiazhuang bought half a catty at a low price of fifteen cents.

The peddler was selling door-to-door and had suddenly appeared a while ago. It was obvious that he was targeting their Yippin Pot.

However, those farmers did not know the key point and were deceived just to make more money.

"This Pei Youguang is probably someone who has an old grudge against you. His name may not be real." Lu Qiyan guessed.

"Yes." Xia Mingyue nodded, "Let's go and have a look first. If we can't find it, we can go to other villages to ask." "This is the only way for now." Lu Qiyan agreed, but also reminded, "You have to follow me closely along the way."

Since they were old acquaintances with whom he had a grudge, they probably recognized Xia Mingyue. Even though they were now in disguise and ordinary people could not recognize them, it was still better to be careful in everything.

Protecting Xia Mingyue's safety is her top priority.

"Okay." Xia Mingyue replied.

Wu Jin came closer, stretched his neck and barked "Woof woof woof".

It will do a good job in protecting its owner!
"I understand." Xia Mingyue understood Wu Jin's thoughts and touched its forehead with a smile.

Seeing Wu Jin being extremely flattering and successfully winning favor, Lu Qiyan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Why are you everywhere?
Wu Jin ignored Lu Qiyan's disdain and continued to rub against Xia Mingyue's palm.

Lu Qiyan, "..."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Qiyan glanced at Wu Jin with disdain again and swung the whip in his hand.

The ox cart continued to move forward, and when the sun was setting, it arrived at Peijiazhuang, which Li Guide and his wife had mentioned.

After asking around from the village entrance, I learned that there was indeed a peddler in Peijiazhuang, and his name was indeed Pei Youguang, who lived at the west end of the village.

Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan walked to Pei Youguang's house. Through the low wall, they could see a young man drying peanuts, soybeans and other items in the yard.

Seeing the ox cart stopped in front of his house, Pei Youguang stood up and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, are you Pei Youguang?" Lu Qiyan asked with a bow. "My husband and I came to see you specially to buy some things."

Upon hearing that they were here to buy something, Pei Youguang hurriedly put on a smile and led the two into the yard, "What do you want to buy? I have all kinds of groceries and utensils here."

As he spoke, Pei Youguang led Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan into the house and showed them things that filled half the room.

Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan took a quick look and saw a bench, a stool, a small chair, a washboard, a wooden comb...

There is a dazzling array of products, and the variety is indeed very rich.

Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "Since we have come here, we will not beat around the bush. We want to buy some food to feed the sheep."

"I heard that you have a secret recipe, so I wanted to ask for some so that I can feed the sheep stronger and make more money." Lu Qiyan added.

Pei Youguang did not reply immediately after hearing this. Instead, he looked Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue up and down for a long time before speaking cautiously, "Which village are you from? How did you find me?"
