Chapter 454: Chapter 454 Losing Face (3)_1

"Hehe." Hei Er couldn’t help but laugh at He Bang’s ridiculous doubt of his identity.

"Miss, a few days ago we went hunting and caught several deer, we’ve brought them specially for you to try," Hei Yi ignored the old lady’s rant and focused on resolving the issue at hand.

"Alive?" Upon hearing this, Lin Ziyin was keenly interested and could hardly wait to see the deer.

"Bring them over." Hei Yi waved his hand and a few people came over from not far away carrying cages. "Six of them."

The villagers had seen deer before, but they had never seen live deer so close. Everyone was curious and gathered round. Lin Ziyin was also curious, she carefully observed the deer in the cage and found that four of six deer were male and two were female, her mood immediately soared.

"Could you help me catch some more live deer?" she asked Hei Yi with a beaming smile.

Hei Yi glanced at her and then nodded, "No problem, I’ll have someone catch a few more for you in a few days."

"Fawns would be even better," Lin Ziyin expressed excitedly, "Catch as many as you can."

"Are you planning to start a deer farm?" Hei Er asked in surprise.

"Yes, I want to give it a try," Lin Ziyin replied cheerfully.

"Ziyin, are you joking?" Lou Zheng asked, surprised, "Deer live in the wild, where have you ever seen them being raised by humans?"

"Uncle, don’t worry. A deer is a treasure all over its body. We’ll fence off a place and feed them every day to try raising them. I don’t think it should be a big problem," Lin Ziyin chuckled. Deer farms have long existed in the modern era, she was just pioneering one in ancient times.

"You really want to raise deer?" It was Hei Yi’s turn to be surprised.

Lin Ziyin nodded ardently, her eyes shining brightly.

"Raising deer isn’t impossible," the old man spoke hesitantly. "In the Capital City, there are Aristocratic Family’s children who keep them for meat or hunting."

"We aren’t doing this for fun," Lin Ziyin shook her head and said, "If we raise deer ourselves, we can harvest deer antlers when they mature, then sell the meat, use the blood to brew wine, and also sell the hide as boots."

"If we can successfully raise them, all these guys could be turned into cash," Lou Zheng’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the deer. Wu Erli and others were also chit-chatting around the deer cage. Everyone was completely ignoring the He family at this moment.

"Deer antlers can be harvested without harming the deer’s life, and can be harvested twice a year, and every year at that," Lin Ziyin added with a smile. "If we have enough, we can also raise roe deer, to be sold as a local specialty of our Northern Land in the future."

"Ziyin, are you planning to directly sell the roe deer?" Someone jokingly asked. Lin Ziyin’s words had opened up another possibility for everyone. The Northern Land might have poor climate, but it does have its unique advantages, such as abundant game and a wealth of wild animals.

Like these deer, in fact, if lucky, locals have managed to catch some in the past. However, they used to sell all the deer they caught, dead or alive, to restaurants. No one had Lin Ziyin’s vision to think of raising them for profit.

The surrounding villagers also pricked up their ears and listened attentively. They could understand selling deer antlers, but how to sell the roe deer?

"Roe deer are unique to our Northern Land, if we can successfully rear them artificially. Not only can we sell their meat in city restaurants, we can also process it on a large scale into preserved meat, ham, or smoked meat." Lin Ziyin replied.

"If things come to that, will we be able to open a new store?" Someone asked loudly.
