Chapter 111 Exorbitantly Priced Beef

At Zhou Yongcheng's home, Zheng Daonan, Wu Longjiang, Zhou Yongqiang, Zhou Guohua, Zhou Guoquan, and others sat together drinking tea.

Wu Longjiang served as a waiter, making tea for everyone; the tea they drank was ordinary spiritual tea.

"Yongcheng, do you still have that kind of tea you gave us last time? That tea was so delicious; it cured my serious insomnia after I drank it," Zhou Guohua asked.

Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile, "Uncle Hua, do you eat tea like it's food? You finished more than a pound of tea leaves so quickly."

"It's because the tea was so delicious that after that kid Hu Xilin found out, he begged and pleaded to take two ounces of it, and Yang Minghong took two ounces of it as well."

Zhou Yongcheng knew Zhou Guohua's personality well; he couldn't keep good things to himself and liked to show off. He was probably showing off the good tea Zhou Yongcheng had given him to others. After they found out, they asked for two ounces. Since they were already so familiar with each other, it would be awkward not to give it to them.

"You can't buy that kind of tea even if you have the money. You don't even drink it yourself, but you give it to others. You are really generous."

Zhou Guohua was a little embarrassed, and Zhou Yongcheng said that if he wanted to drink tea, he should ask his second uncle for some.

Zhou Yongcheng took a sip of tea and got down to business.

"Mr. Zheng, how much do you think the cattle from our village can sell for per kilogram?"

"Mr. Zhou, are all the cattle and sheep in your village fed the kind of feed you mentioned?" Zheng Daonan asked.

"I can't guarantee it, but in our village, almost every household feeds their cattle and sheep with a mixture of feed and hay."

Zheng Daonan then inquired about Zhou Yongcheng's feed.

Zhou Yongcheng wasn't very clear about the sale of feed, but Zhou Yongqiang was.

Zhou Yongqiang said that the factory only has two feed production lines, and the daily output of feed is not much, only about four or five hundred bags. Because the price is higher than that sold in the market, only villagers come to buy it, and even then, not many villagers buy it. The factory's feed is basically bought by people from their Wuxi group.

Zheng Daonan understood that the quantity of cattle and sheep of this quality depended on the amount of feed produced by the feed mill.

How many cattle and sheep can your group raise and sell each year?

Zhou Guohua is quite clear about this issue. He is the leader of the Wuxi group. "There are 22 livestock farmers in our group. Twelve of them raise cattle and ten raise sheep. Last year, we bought a total of more than 130 calves and more than 240 lambs. This year, the number of calves we can sell is about 200 and the number of lambs we can sell is about 500."

"Can we expand the breeding scale? This quantity is too small."

"You don't need to worry about that. There are many cattle and sheep raised in our village. If we can get a good price this time, I believe even more people will raise them. Other farmers in the village will also feed them regularly," Zhou Guohua said.

“That’s how it is in rural areas; they’ll only follow if they see the potential benefits,” Zhou Yongcheng said.

“Alright, to ensure the quality of the cattle and sheep, we will build a slaughterhouse in your town. We will test each animal. If it meets the standards, I will purchase it at the normal price. If it does not meet the standards, the price will drop accordingly. Mr. Zhou, what do you think? If it is acceptable, I will make a quote.”

“Okay.” Zhou Yongcheng nodded in agreement.

They do this to ensure the consistency of beef and mutton quality. If there is a difference in the quality of beef and mutton, and it is brought back to the restaurant and the customers eat it and find that the taste is not right, it will be a fatal blow to their brand.

"Okay, for cattle of this quality today, the price for live cattle is 120 yuan per jin, and the price for live sheep is the same."

Everyone present, except for Zhou Yongcheng and Wu Longjiang, gasped in shock. Despite the hot weather, the exorbitant price stunned them.

Good heavens, over a hundred yuan per kilogram, I've never heard of such a thing.

Zhou Yongqiang did the math in his head. A cow weighs between 800 and 1200 kilograms. Even if we say 1000 kilograms, at 240 yuan per kilogram, one cow would be worth more than 200,000 yuan. Ten cows would be worth more than 2 million yuan. Good heavens, the cows they raise this year could sell for two or three million yuan. Is this a dream?

The price has been agreed upon, and a contract needs to be signed, but right now it's just a verbal agreement.

The contract cannot be signed for the time being. Zheng Daonan still needs to call people over from the company. The slaughterhouse needs to be set up here, and equipment for the slaughterhouse needs to be purchased, as well as some testing equipment. Therefore, the cattle and sheep cannot be sold for the time being. The contract to purchase live cattle and sheep will be formally signed after the slaughterhouse is built.

Zhou Yongcheng no longer needed to worry about the cattle and sheep, so he didn't stay in the village long and left after dinner.

The rest can be handled by Wu Longjiang.

Zhou Yongcheng returned to the city and wondered if there was anything else he needed to do in the real world. He wondered how the 400,000 pairs of shoes he had asked Zhang Haibo to produce were progressing. Zhou Yongcheng had 200,000 pairs of shoes produced first. It seemed that the previous 200,000 pairs of shoes were delivered after about two months. Looking at the dates, there was still a long way to go.

With nothing happening in the real world, Zhou Yongcheng entered the mythological world.

In the mythological world, Zhou Yongcheng was waiting for that celestial star. He wanted to see what it was, since a little bit of its powder could be used to refine an elixir of immortality, which was a bit unbelievable.

In Zhou Yongcheng's view, that celestial star should not be a simple thing. There are many things that can make people live forever, which are spiritual objects born from heaven and earth, or products of some kind of rule.

Like the Infinity Stones in the Marvel universe, they are treasures that evolved from the rules of heaven and earth.

The TV series "Myth" is a film and television drama, but the world in the story is real and different from the film and television drama.

What are those celestial stars that fall from the sky? We'll only know after we see them fall.

That day, Zhou Yongcheng was teaching Lü Su how to draw talismans when the First Emperor walked in.

"I would be mortified to have disturbed you, sir." Even the First Emperor had moments of embarrassment.

"It's alright, let's go inside and talk."

Zhou Yongcheng told Lü Su to take her time drawing and not to worry about wasting materials, as he had plenty of them.

"You haven't come to see me in a long time. What brings you here to chat today?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

"I've been too busy. I've gained a lot of inspiration from you, sir. After discussions with my ministers, I'm proceeding with reforms to the court," the First Emperor said with a smile.

Zhou Yongcheng brewed a cup of tea for the First Emperor and, intrigued by the Emperor's talk of reforming the court, began to ask him questions.

Previously, the First Emperor often asked about the systems of later dynasties, so Zhou Yongcheng took out various systems and regulations from the Tang, Song, Ming, Qing and modern dynasties from his phone and told the First Emperor about them. Unexpectedly, the First Emperor also started to reform the court system.

The First Emperor subdivided many institutions, preventing power from falling into the hands of one person. During the Qin Dynasty, besides the emperor, the most powerful officials were the prime minister, who was the head of the civil officials, and the grand commander, who was the head of the military officials.

The First Emperor then divided the power of the Chancellor and the Grand Commandant, which is somewhat similar to the court system of the Ming Dynasty, and also has some resemblance to the modern official system. It can be seen that the First Emperor drew on the court system of the Ming Dynasty and the modern official system, and integrated the systems of the two periods.

After discussing matters of state, the First Emperor asked, "Sir, is it true that there are no immortals in our world?"

Zhou Yongcheng smiled and said, "No, the concentration of spiritual energy in your world is so low that it's impossible for immortals to exist. What, do you want to ascend to heaven in one step?"

"No, I'm wondering if immortals don't exist, then why are there records of them?"

"That means there were immortals in your world in ancient times. The spiritual energy was abundant in ancient times, so there must have been cultivators. It's normal that some people cultivated to become immortals."

The First Emperor nodded, his doubts resolved, and then asked Zhou Yongcheng other questions.
