When Xiao Qing and the others came out of the house, they saw a large ram tethered outside.
Its reddish-brown head and the muscles beneath its woolly coat immediately made little stars appear in the eyes of the young girls.
What a handsome sheep!
Master, this sheep is so big!
Xiao Qing walked up to Fang Er, who was squatting nearby, and pointed at the ram.
Not only is it big, but this creature also has a foul temper. It nearly knocked me over just now! You girls should stay away from it!
See those two things hanging behind it? It’s a male, and it’s fierce!
Fang Er stared unhappily at the two testicles, cursing internally. Damn it, if I didn't need you to improve the breed, I’d roast you sooner or later!
Although there are a total of 99 of them, there can never be too many stud sheep when it comes to improving the breed, can there?
Oh, then Qing’er will go find some grass to feed it.
Xing'er, come with me.
Although Fang Er had warned Xiao Qing not to get too close, she still wanted to feed the sheep.
As expected, fluffy animals always had an astonishing effect on girls.
The girls found some craftsmen and asked them to pick some tender buds from the trees outside the mansion.
Watching the ram wolf down the buds, Fang Er called Zhao Gang over.
Have someone go into the city and buy some ewes, preferably those that are ready to mate.
Zhao Gang was taken aback. Marquis, what do you mean by "ready to mate"?
Fang Er scratched his head. How could he describe this?
He had heard the term "ready to mate" from a shepherd in his previous life.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of a suitable way to describe it.
He glanced at Xiao Qing and the others who were still feeding the ram, then awkwardly leaned over to Zhao Gang and whispered in his ear.
It means those that are in heat and can get pregnant with lambs as soon as they are mounted, understand?
Zhao Gang glanced at the tethered ram and immediately understood. It was so large; the lambs it produced would likely not be small either, right?
He left the mansion and personally drove Fang Er's pickup truck towards Shenyang City.
Once in the city, he found a livestock dealer and asked, "Do you have any ewes that are ready for stud?"
The dealer looked at Zhao Gang in disbelief.
Sir, the money you're spending on a sheep could get you a visit to a brothel for a night. Your tastes are quite… unique!
Zhao Gang froze for a moment, then suddenly realized. The dealer thought he was looking for a prostitute!
Damn it, you’re the one who’d use a sheep! I’m buying for the ram at home!
Get lost! I’ll buy from someone else!
Zhao Gang pushed the merchant aside and turned to leave.
The livestock dealer then realized he had misunderstood and quickly apologized while grabbing Zhao Gang.
Sir, please don't be angry, don't be angry, I misunderstood!
You’re looking for ewes ready for stud, right? I’ll find them for you, and we can discuss the price, okay?
Zhao Gang stopped, looking at him unhappily. You can really find them?
Heh heh, of course, I can find them. How many do you need?
However many you have, I’ll take them all! I have plenty of money!
Alright! Sir, please wait here and have some sunflower seeds. I’ll be right back!
The vendor led Zhao Gang to a table, took out a cloth bag, and poured a pile of sunflower seeds onto the table before turning to leave.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the vendor returned, leading a group of sheep.
Sir, look, I’ve found all the ones available in the market. There are six in total.
Look at their hindquarters, they’re red and swollen, even oozing. As long as your ram is up to it, I guarantee you’ll have lambs within six months after you get back!
Zhao Gang didn’t understand this either, so he walked behind the group of sheep and pretended to examine them.
Indeed, as the vendor had said, the sheep’s hindquarters were much redder and more swollen than those of normal sheep, with a clear viscous fluid flowing out.
Fine!
After paying, Zhao Gang led the six ewes out of the market, loaded them into the back of the pickup truck, and returned to the public mansion in Shenyang County.
As soon as the six ewes appeared before the ram, stimulated by the scent of the opposite sex, it immediately became agitated, causing the iron chain to rattle.
Chai Yue, who had come out of the house to accompany Xiao Qing and the others in feeding the sheep, was startled.
My lord, what's wrong with it? It seems very angry!
Fang Er’s eyes darted around, and he leaned close to Chai Yue’s ear. Heh heh, it wants to watch cartoons.
Chai Yue’s face instantly turned red. Looking at the six ewes, she understood what was happening.
My lord is so naughty!
She stomped her foot and pulled Xiao Qing and the others into the house.
Hahahahahahahaha!
Watching her flee in embarrassment, Fang Er burst into laughter.
After a while, he said to Zhao Gang, “Tie the others aside for now, and bring one over to that fellow.”
Got it!
Zhao Gang, a confirmed bachelor, also became interested and cheerfully tied the other five ewes far away, then brought one ewe to the ram’s side.
*Pfft!*
*Pfft!*
*Meee!*
*Ooh, pfft, meee!*
The large ram lowered its head to the ewe’s hindquarters, sometimes sneezing, sometimes nibbling, and occasionally letting out a call, as if confirming something.
The ewe didn’t hesitate, continuously nudging its rear against its head.
Before long, the ram leaped up, its more than 200-pound weight pressing down.
Fang Er and Zhao Gang, having never witnessed such a spectacle, squatted nearby, smoking and watching curiously.
I wonder, dogs can go all day, how long can this thing last?
But to his surprise, in less than ten seconds, the ram jumped down, shook its head, and turned its gaze towards the other ewes.
Holy crap! That fast?
Zhao Gang was also stunned. Damn it, it was over in the time it took to smoke two puffs of a cigarette?
Fang Er thought the ram might have a problem and quickly took out a book on raising sheep for meat to read, not paying attention to Zhao Gang beside him.
After a thorough search, he finally found the reason.
It turned out that the mating time for herbivorous animals was generally short because they faced constant danger in nature.
The most typical examples were weak sheep and rabbits, whose mating time rarely exceeded half a minute.
Seeing this, Fang Er was relieved and put the book away.
Zhao Gang, however, continued to stare at the ram, completely puzzled, and didn’t notice Fang Er taking out the book, reading it, and then the book disappearing as if by magic.
Hahaha, it’s normal for it to be quick. In the wild, if this thing mated for half the day like a dog, it would have gone extinct long ago!
Zhao Gang nodded as if he had suddenly understood.
Fang Er looked at him and joked, “What’s the matter, Old Zhao? Do you have a lady in mind? I can help arrange a marriage for you.”
Hearing this, Zhao Gang’s old face suddenly flushed, and he stammered, refusing to speak.
Huh? This old fellow actually has someone in mind?
Fang Er curiously pressed further, “Come on, tell me, whose daughter is it?”
No, no, no, Marquis, please don't ask. I’ll go fetch another one.
Zhao Gang was too embarrassed to say, so he got up, took away the ewe that had finished its business, and brought another one over.
ps: Hahahaha, only two thousand more words until a million!
