"It turns out to be so simple. I'll try it when I get home." Damei smiled. She has loved eating milk ice cream since she was a child, but unfortunately the ones sold in convenience stores are mostly fake milk.

Sister Tian glanced at Liu Xialian and said, "Third sister, I heard that you raise horses. Are you planning to open a horse farm? Horses are flashy and useless. Their meat is not tasty and they don't produce milk. It would be better for us to raise dozens of dairy cows from you guys."

Liu Xialian shook her head: "Raising dairy cows is too much trouble. Farmers always want to make more money, so they add all kinds of things to the milk."

Sister Tian was stunned: "How can a layman like you know the ins and outs of dairy cows?"

"I know that dairy cows in agricultural areas have too short a grazing time, farmers have high feeding costs, dairy cows do not exercise enough, and the grass they eat is poor, so the quality of the milk is poor, and the milk powder produced is naturally inferior."

Liu Xia Lian's words were heartbreaking. Shimenzhuang is located in the heart of the Central Plains. The dairy cows raised in more than a dozen surrounding counties are in the same situation. There is no problem with milk production, but the main feed for dairy cows is corn stalks, and peanut vines, sweet potato vines, etc. are considered good feed.

The second sister said, "Third sister, you can raise some. Recently, many dairy cows have given birth and many sub-adult dairy cows cannot be sold. We have to reluctantly kill them for meat. The eldest sister can't bear it, so she wants you to raise some. Your place is big and there is plenty of grass and fodder."

"Sister, if you have any difficulties, just tell me directly. Well, I'll give you 400,000 yuan first. When I go back and build a cattle farm, you can arrange a vehicle to deliver cattle to me after the New Year. How about that?"

Sister Tian was a little surprised: "Third sister, how come you are so rich? I am a boss worth tens of millions, but I can't just take out hundreds of thousands at will. How did you do it?"

"My second sister and I bought a few stones in Beijing this morning and made a profit of a few hundred thousand."

"Stone? What stone? It can't be that imperial green again, right?" Sister Tian asked back.

Zhao Shan nodded: "Yes, a large piece, more than a thousand kilograms, enough for me to sell for a few months, glass-type imperial green."

"Leave me a pair of bracelets, and they must be of good workmanship."

Zhao Shan was speechless. Her elder sister was obsessed with work all day long. She only saw her wearing bracelets occasionally, but she would always buy a pair as long as the material was good.

Li Damei suggested to Liu Xialian: "Sister, I think it's okay to raise dairy cows. There's no need to make milk powder on a small scale. Raw milk can be supplied to the old cadres in high-end communities. They have very high requirements for life. They want health and nutrition."

"What Damei said makes sense. I'll start selling milk once Big Sister delivers the cows. It'll just be a new item in the fresh food store."

Sister Tian took out her notebook and started writing and drawing. After a while, she finished and looked up to ask Zhao Shan, "Where are we going for dinner?"

"How about eating in your own restaurant?"

Sister Tian shook her head and said, "You are tired of eating here. You are too stingy. Third and fourth sisters have finally come here. Let's go out and have something good. Let's go to Xili near Yuhua West Road to eat Sichuan hot pot."

"Okay, then I'll call and make an appointment, otherwise I'll have to wait in line for a long time."

Liu Xialian was very curious and asked, "Is it really that popular that we need to make a reservation to eat Sichuan hotpot?"

"Yes, the Sichuan restaurant has only been open for three months. It's just getting cold, so many people are eating hotpot."

Liu Xialian was thoughtful. She opened a Sichuan restaurant in the provincial capital that also had hot pot. She had never been there since it opened, so she didn't know how the business was going. However, the copper furnace hot pot used wood, which was prone to carbon monoxide poisoning, so all restaurants were very careful.

In winter, goose stewed in an iron pot is always popular, and Linyi fried chicken sells well because of its unique taste. However, I am still a little worried about this Sichuan restaurant. Sichuan cuisine is too spicy, and people in Northeast China can only accept a slightly spicy dish.

A group of five people got on a jeep and Zhao Shan drove straight to the Sichuan hot pot restaurant. It was past seven in the evening and the evening rush hour had passed, but the female workers in the cotton mill were still coming in and out like little bees. There were too many people.

Liu Xialian couldn't help but wonder: "Do these cotton mills still work at night?"

Zhao Shan glanced at the factory gate not far away and nodded: "Yes, it's usually three shifts, the workers have meals, and the salary is about fifty yuan a month, which is still good."

As the heartland of the Central Plains, the leader of Shimenzhuang's industry is the cotton spinning mill, which has seven or eight large enterprises, more than 100,000 workers and very strong production capacity.

Walk west along Yuhua Road for more than ten minutes and you will see a Sichuan hotpot restaurant not far ahead. Suddenly, a group of people, about dozens of them, are fighting on a large lawn on the south side of the road. Shimenzhuang in this era is like the Warring States Period, with various forces intertwined and often fighting over a game hall or a dance hall.

It looked like the fight was quite intense, with more than a dozen people surrounding three people and beating them. The three men were holding nothing but short sticks or something like that, and they were barely able to hold on, but soon they couldn't hold on any longer.

Liu Xia Lian had sharp ears and heard that the man was speaking Linyi dialect. Isn’t this a fellow native of Linyi?

"Stop, wait here for a moment. Someone is beating up my fellow countryman from Linyi. Let me go over and fight him."

Liu Xia Lian stopped the jeep and rushed over with Daya.

In the car, Sister Tian was very anxious and asked Zhao Shan: "Where is your bodyguard? Ask him to come over and help."

Zhao Shan said: "Third sister is a rare talent. Her bodyguard is very strong. They look like a group of people from the Pillow Gang. Don't worry, they are just making a fuss."

Sure enough, the fight had already started on the other side. Liu Xia Lian and Daya came up without saying anything. On the opposite side were a dozen men holding short sticks and pickaxe handles.

The two men were like tigers entering a pack of wolves. They were no match for their opponents and were beaten to pieces in minutes. Some had lost teeth, some had black eye sockets.

The leader suffered the most. Daya punched him in the nose and he was bleeding profusely.

While covering his nose, he said harshly: "You have the guts, just wait and see, and tell me your name."

"Liu Xia Lian, you can find me after you pass Shanhaiguan by mentioning my name. If you are convinced or not, just bring people to my house to find me."

The other party didn't delay and ran away in a panic.

The three people who were rescued included a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a jacket, who looked like a cadre, and two young men in their twenties, who seemed to have just changed jobs.

Liu Xia Lian glanced at them and asked, "What's going on? Three people are being surrounded and beaten?"

The middle-aged man in his forties said: "I was eating at the small restaurant in front, and a rascal molested a female student, so I said a few words. I didn't expect that a group of people came and wanted to cut off my arms as soon as I came out, so a fight broke out."

"It's okay, don't worry, he's just a little jerk. From your accent, are you from Linyi?"

"Yeah, your accent seems to be from the Northeast."

"My father is from Linyi, and later settled in the Northeast. He is from Linyi."

"Thank you very much, both of you. I think you two are so skilled, you are not ordinary people."

"This is my ancestral kung fu, the kung fu my grandfather learned on the battlefield. Later, my father served on the border of the northeast. I mainly practice the Eighteen Black Dragon Moves, mixed with some of my own moves. Are you here to do business?"
