"General Xu, are you serious?" Xue Muqi hesitated to ask.
"Of course I'm serious. How long will it take to slaughter the cattle?" Xu Fang inquired.
Xue Muqi replied, "Beef is a bit troublesome. After the slaughter, it needs to hang for seven days to purge the acidity before it can be sold, otherwise, the meat quality won't be good. If I start preparing today, at the earliest, you could sell the meat in eight days. We'll go full force with the slaughter, averaging two thousand heads a day. I estimate it will all be done in ten days."
Xu Fang nodded, saying, "Then let's do it as you said. Arrange for people to start slaughtering. Oh, and you can start raising those hundred thousand heads of cattle now. I can pay a deposit."
"Shouldn't we see if the first twenty thousand heads can be sold first?" Xue Muqi kindly reminded.
"Don't worry, they'll be sold. If not, I'll give them away. Just raise them with ease."
