Chapter 111 Breaking the Seed Impasse and Revealing a New Look
Breaking the seed dilemma and showing a new look
"They...they took away all the superior breeds of cattle and sheep!" The herdsman gasped for breath, his face filled with panic.
Su Yunlan felt a surge of anger rush to her head. She bit her lip tightly, trying her best to control herself.
How dare these cattle dealers be so audacious!
She turned around abruptly and strode out.
Xiao Yuhan grabbed her arm. "Yunlan, where are you going?"
"Go find those cattle dealers!" Su Yunlan's voice was icy, as if it were being squeezed out from between her teeth.
Xiao Yuhan frowned. "Going to them now will probably not help. We need to think things through more carefully." He knew that there might be other people behind the cattle dealers, and acting rashly would only put them in a passive position.
Su Yunlan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
Xiao Yuhan is right, she can't act impulsively.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, reflecting her resolute gaze.
She turned to look at Xiao Yuhan, her tone firm, "You're right, we can't confront them head-on. But we can't let them control us either. I refuse to believe that we can't find any other way besides them!"
The cattle dealer was sitting in the teahouse, leisurely sipping his tea, a smug smile on his face.
He could almost see Su Yunlan humbly begging him, and a surge of pleasure welled up inside him.
"Hmph, you think you can fight me? You're still too green!" He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and the aroma of the tea filled the air, but it couldn't hide the greed in his eyes.
However, he did not know that Su Yunlan did not yield as he had imagined.
She is secretly investigating his source of goods; a battle of wits has just begun.
She visited several nearby ranches, carefully inquired about the herders' situation, and recorded some important information.
It was late at night, but the light in Su Yunlan's room was still on.
She compiled the collected information into a booklet and analyzed it carefully.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on one of the messages, her fingers tapped lightly on the table, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
“I see…” she said softly. She picked up a pen, wrote a few words on the paper, and handed it to Xiao Yuhan who was standing next to her.
"Fourth Brother, help me investigate this person."
Xiao Yuhan took the note, glanced at the name on it, and frowned slightly.
"Liu San? This person..."
Su Yunlan's lips curled into a cold smile. She put down her pen and tapped the table lightly, making a "thump-thump" sound that was particularly clear in the quiet room.
"Liu San, a broker who specializes in reselling livestock, humph, how dare he set his sights on me."
The next day, Su Yunlan went straight to the teahouse where the cattle dealer was staying.
The teahouse was bustling with noise, but the moment Su Yunlan stepped in, the clamor seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, instantly falling silent.
She walked straight up to the cattle dealer, her eyes sharp as knives, piercing his heart.
The cattle dealer was sitting with his legs crossed, sipping tea. When he saw Su Yunlan, his face was plastered with a fake smile.
"Oh, isn't this Madam Su? What's wrong, have you come to your senses?"
Su Yunlan sneered and threw a piece of paper covered in writing in front of him. "Your so-called superior breeds all came from Liu San, right? I advise you to tell the truth honestly, or I'll force you to take this matter to the authorities."
The cattle dealer picked up the paper, his face instantly turning deathly pale. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Su Yunlan. "You...you...how did you know?"
"Want to know?" Su Yunlan's tone was icy, like ice shards in the dead of winter. "Then we'll see how sincere you are." She leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, a half-smile playing on her lips, as if watching a dying prey.
The cattle dealer deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping into his chair. He knew he had really messed up this time.
He stammered, "I...I'll lower the price, I'll lower the price, okay?"
The surrounding herders, witnessing this scene, instantly lost their initial hatred and fear of the cattle dealers.
They all gave Su Yunlan a thumbs up, their eyes filled with admiration.
Su Yunlan looked at the cattle dealer with satisfaction and slowly said, "That's more like it."
All of this was observed by Xiao Yuhan, who was standing not far away.
He watched Su Yunlan shine in the crowd, his heart filled with pride. His wife was always so radiant.
He silently walked behind Su Yunlan, gently hugged her from behind, and lightly kissed her forehead.
Su Yunlan leaned against Xiao Yuhan's chest, feeling his warm embrace and the love in it. She turned around and a happy smile appeared on her lips.
"Fourth Brother..." she murmured softly, feeling his love.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, accompanied by an anxious voice.
"It's terrible, Madam! A group of people claiming to be imperial merchants have arrived..."
Su Yunlan bought high-quality breeding stock from the cattle dealer. The price was more than double what it was before, but she didn't feel bad at all.
She knew the money was well spent.
With these superior breeding stock, her livestock improvement plan could proceed smoothly.
She first separated the cattle and sheep into separate enclosures and then scientifically bred them according to their different breeds and ages.
She also guided herders to improve their feeding methods based on modern animal husbandry knowledge, such as feeding them at regular times and in fixed quantities, keeping their pens clean, and regularly deworming them.
These methods are simple, but effective.
As the days went by, the cattle and sheep on the pasture underwent visible changes.
Their fur is shinier and their bodies are more robust.
The sheep girl followed Su Yunlan with great enthusiasm every day, and she witnessed the changes in these cattle and sheep with her own eyes, filling her heart with hope.
"Lady Su, you are amazing! These sheep are growing so well!" The sheep girl stroked a fluffy little lamb, her eyes full of affection.
"Yes, Madam Su, thanks to you, our oxen have become much stronger!" Uncle Ma couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Seeing the smiles on the herders' faces, Su Yunlan felt a great sense of accomplishment.
She knew that her efforts had not been in vain.
Six months later, the improved livestock products were officially launched on the market.
Due to their excellent quality and significantly increased production, these products quickly received unanimous praise from the market.
The herders' incomes have increased accordingly, and their faces are filled with happy smiles.
On a sunny afternoon, the herders spontaneously gathered in the center of the pasture to hold a celebration for Su Yunlan.
They sang and danced, expressing their gratitude to Su Yunlan.
"Madam Su, you are truly our great benefactor!"
"Yes, without you, we wouldn't have the happy life we have today!"
Standing in the center of the crowd, Su Yunlan felt the warmth of the herdsmen and her heart was filled with joy.
Young Master Xiao and Miss Yang ran around excitedly, their faces radiating youthful energy.
Just then, Su Yunlan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a bold idea emerged in her mind.
"If we combine animal husbandry and porcelain..." she murmured to herself, her gaze falling on the porcelain bottle in the hand of Young Master Xiao Thirteen, who was playing in the distance.
