The branch venue of the Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference, at this moment, has become a slaughterhouse, before, there were only a few thousand sheep that came before, and these sheep almost supported the high-end consumption of the entire Weizhou diet.

As a small state in the northwest border, Weizhou has many special foods, which are nothing more than pancakes and the like, and what is the difference between these and eating dry food.

The special mutton in the northwest has become the most common thing, whether it is roasted or boiled, without much spices, it is barely acceptable.

In just half a month, at least 4,000 sheep were sold out, which was not the climax after nearly one million sheep entered Weizhou.

Mutton, in most of the Northern Song Dynasty cities, is a relatively luxurious consumption, the general market, between 200 Wen and 300 Wen, some larger restaurants, such as Fan Lou, a simple plate of fried mutton, the price may exceed 5 guan, the general small restaurant, also more than one or two.

However, for the northwest, this is even very cheap to a certain extent, Weizhou is a little inland, and the price of his mutton is slightly higher than that of the front line, but the high is limited.

At the border, the price of sheep is about 500 wen, the size is only slightly different, from the border to Weizhou, but three or four hundred miles, can rise to 500 wen, is already good.

Thanks to the boom of the Cattle and Horse Conference, a large number of people poured in, they can support dozens of people, and even buy more than 10,000 or even hundreds of thousands of materials here, a sheep is almost enough for more than 10 people to eat, and the vegetables cost 1 guan, basically most of the merchants can afford to eat.

Especially now, nearly a million sheep are coming, and the price of sheep has been further reduced, from the original slow rise to 1, reduced to about 900, and remains stable, and the quality and weight have also increased to a certain extent.

The sales of mutton in Weizhou have surged since then, and even some residents who can't afford to eat mutton have begun to make tooth sacrifices, after all, some houses, 100 Wen 200 Wen a day, at most 10 days, there is money to buy a sheep.

The mutton craze, in fact, is a corner of the Weizhou Conference, in a sense, it is derived, even if all the people who come to Weizhou are open to eat, how much can they eat.

If a person eats rice, it will cost about two or three liters a day, but if you eat meat, two catties of meat will be about the same, and a big sheep can almost produce more than 40 catties of meat, which can make a person eat for more than 20 days.

The cattle and horse conference is mainly cattle and horses, sheep are placed in another area, a total of more than 500,000 cattle and horses, it is certainly impossible to completely form a transaction in one field, with 20 horses and 100 cattle as a unit, a group of separate groups, for each batch of horses are hung with numbers.

This process lasted for a long time, and it took time to separate the 500,000 cattle and horses into different small groups, and at present, at least 5,000 people were sorting at the main venue, but the efficiency was still not high.

After half a day, part of it has been sorted.

After a large number of cattle and horses arrived in Weizhou, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce have begun to submit applications, and they can be tested in advance according to their own rights.

No one thinks that they can enter the venue very quickly, because a large number of livestock arrive, need to be sorted, settled, and can open the trading conference after 3 days, it is not easy, in advance, it may only be a possibility.

Under the seller's market, they can't say anything, this advance, a day in advance is in advance, so an hour in advance is not in advance, they can only provide an application in accordance with the rules, and strive to be able to inspect as soon as possible.

It was originally a casual request, but I didn't expect that I quickly got permission to test it in the group that had already been completed.

Not all, these applicants will not care, they just need to be able to test, they must find out, the real quality of these cattle and horses, and then decide what to do next, after agreeing, they will immediately enter the main venue.

The news always spreads the fastest, and when the first people entered the inquest, the applications came one after another, and of course, there was no doubt that they were also approved.

The Cattle and Horse Conference was changed to an auction by Han Qi, in fact, it is not so complicated, and it is impossible to be as comprehensive as the Myanmar public market in later generations, and it is impossible to compare with a large-scale event like the Canton Fair.

To put it bluntly, it is just a skin, and the method of trading is also a batch and a transaction in batches, basically, according to the traditional trading method, the only difference is that it is divided into different batches for trading.

According to the whole auction process, for example, on the first day, 8,000 horses, 40,000 cows, a total of 800 batches, everyone can buy, not that everyone has a goal for each person, only for this target to be tested, and then the auction together, so that the efficiency will be improved a lot, and the batch will increase every day.

It's a pity, not to mention Weizhou, even if it's Han Qi, it is impossible to come up with so much manpower to carry out thousands, or even thousands of batches, in parallel, that is to say, 800 batches is already the limit, and even whether it can be completed is also a problem.

This is also the fundamental reason for Han Qi's idea of playing margin, nothing, the time is too long, with the current efficiency, it will take 20 days at the fastest to complete the entire cattle and horse conference, if there is a slight problem, this time will be greatly delayed.

This is still a transaction, and sometimes, it is not that the transaction is completed, and the money can be in place, and in the middle, it is very complicated, maybe it will take forty or fifty days.

The Northwest has entered the winter, and after forty or fifty days, it will definitely be able to enter the coldest years of the year, and by then, it will be too late for anything, and it is better to withdraw the deposit in advance.

The people of the Chamber of Commerce were allowed to enter the main venue, testing livestock, representing the entire Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference, and entering the stage of rapid development.

Among all the people who arrived in Weizhou, the staff of the Chamber of Commerce was only a few, and the professional masters were the most.

Cattle and horses are a very professional business, whether there are hidden dangers, how much performance in the end, all depends on eyesight, even in this era of the Northern Song Dynasty, the price of a good horse, relatively speaking, is more expensive than a car in later generations, but there is no test drive.

Get it to the market, you will buy it if you like it, if you don't like it, you won't buy it, pay the money with one hand and deliver it with the other, and after you buy it, you can't regret it, all by eyesight.

In the cattle and horse market, there are these masters all year round to help buyers look good and bad and earn intermediary fees, which is also a profession.

This time, the Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference, but they were the happiest days, in the entire north, all those who knew a little bit about cattle and horses were almost hired by the Chamber of Commerce.

Large chambers of commerce often employ those well-known, small, or at least some famous, only those who wait for them, who can't find a master, come to try their luck, and will also be on the trade fair, temporarily inviting others to palm.

When the first batch of personnel entered the site, they began to get busy, and a large number of cattle and horses had already entered the site for these professionals to start inspecting.

In themselves, these masters also feel that it is a chore, and it is possible to choose a valuable one among thousands of horses, which is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack, and they are also engrossed in it at the beginning, for fear of missing any of them.

This is their duty, but looking at it, all the masters know it, and they don't take it so seriously.

After inspecting at least a thousand horses, they already understood that this was not the so-called cattle and horse market somewhere else, full of all kinds of pitfalls.

That's right, there are a lot of cattle and horses in the market all over the world, which seem to be very good, in fact, there are such and such defects, for these professionals, they can't be deceived, but some people who come to buy half a bottle of vinegar for cattle and horses, and are reluctant to spend money, are easy to be fooled.

For these, these masters are well aware, and they don't break it, why break it, this is their ability to stand, if all the cattle and horse transactions are real, what do you want these masters to do, sell them directly, according to the high and low, and they will not buy a loss.

But no, no one will be so stupid, those horses that can't be sold, there are various reasons, merchants can't smash in their hands, so they will choose all kinds of methods, the rules of cattle and horse trading, but also protect them, which also gives the masters a market.

The chamber of commerce also came to them with this in mind, but they didn't expect that this time the Cattle and Horse Conference was completely different from the previous ones, and these masters had nothing to check.

Han Qi's purpose is to find a fixed market and sell a large number of goods, not to make a little money, in order to start the door, these cattle, horses and sheep are not pulled out casually, they are selected, will it not be the entire Lingzhou peace conference, the top cattle and horses are all taken out, but they are also a better part of them, and those with problems or hidden diseases have long been selected.

This is enough for these professionals to take a short look and they even marvel at why the quality of the horses is so good.

The age of the horses, concentrated in 4-7, is relatively young, according to the 12 years that a horse can work, they can work for at least another 8 years, and there is less time to breed.

All of them are Xixia horses, strong, powerful, very healthy, those professionals, look at it and look numb, no need to special selection, every batch, is very good, even if it is a little worse, it is much better than those cattle and horses sold in the Northern Song Dynasty, almost most of them can be horses of this grade.

The more I look at it, the more relaxed it becomes, and from time to time I praise the members of those chambers of commerce, this Weizhou conference is really worthy of the name, the things are really good, and after buying it, I will definitely not suffer.

The masters of cattle and horses, of course, are very strong in their professional fields, but in terms of business sensitivity, they are not so strong, they didn't notice that when they said this, the people of the Chamber of Commerce who heard it, their faces were not so good.
