Even if they don't know, they will work extremely hard in the following days. Pinshu mobile terminal

Originally, Meng Xi estimated that it would take more than ten days to complete the work, but it took seven days to complete all the work.

Looking at the large piece of land in front of him, there was no longer barren smoke and vines, only smooth and tidy, Meng Xi's mood was very good.

Seeing that the land had almost thawed, Meng Xi knew that it was time to prepare for spring ploughing, so the matter of plowing cattle must be grasped quickly.

Meng Xi didn't ask Shopkeeper Xiao about this, because he didn't understand it. She had to go to the town's cattle and horse market to pick it up.

No one in the village had ever raised cattle, so no one could give her a detailed view, so she called Da Zhuang and asked Li Laohan for help. It's a hunter, so at least you can see whether the livestock are healthy or not.

But when they really arrived at the cattle and horse market, the three of them were stunned.

The cow and horse market was stinky, the cries of cows, horses and mules came and went, and the hawkers shouted and introduced, but Meng Xi found that he had no way to start.

"Uncle Li, can you tell which side of the ploughing ox is more suitable?"

After walking around, Meng Xi and the three of them went to a place with a corner and studied in a low voice.

Of course, they can't be heard by the cattle dealers, or they won't be slaughtered.

Li Laohan shook his head, looking helpless, "The animals here are all quite energetic and strong. But I've heard that it takes training to work with cattle, so let's get some stunned greens and go back, and we won't be able to send them out. ”

Meng Xi nodded violently, "Yes, yes!"

"Then how can you tell if the oxen can work?" asked Da Zhuang weakly.

"I don't know!" both shook their heads together.

If you knew, wouldn't you be entangled! Just hand over the money and go home.

When the three of them were at a loss, a distinctive cry sounded not far from them.

"Let's take a look, a good ploughing cow, only fifteen taels of silver!"

"Huh, it's so expensive!" Meng Xi's first reaction when he heard this was that it was ridiculously expensive.

After walking down this circle, she had basically heard clearly, the price of cattle in the market ranged from five taels to ten taels according to the size, but there was absolutely no more than ten taels.

Unexpectedly, now there is a price of fifteen taels.

Driven by kindness, Meng Xi looked at the man and saw that it was a young boy in rags and unkempt, estimated to be ten years old, standing there a little cramped, holding a big cow in his hand.

Meng Xi glanced at the cow. Although it looks a little skinny, it inexplicably makes people feel full of strength and looks very docile.

She was about to walk over and ask, but other cattle traders had already come forward.

Several cattle dealers laughed and gathered around the young man, talking loudly.

"Yu Tieniu, you are here to sell cattle again? We told you a long time ago, no one will buy fifteen taels of silver, why don't you believe it!"

"Who's to say it isn't! No cow has ever fetched such a high price, especially since you're an old cow!"

"Don't carry it, if you don't sell it at a lower price, where will your father's medicine money come from?"

A few cattle dealers, you and I persuaded Yu Tieniu word by word. They didn't have any ill intentions, and they thought about him when they heard that.

But the young man named Yu Tieniu pursed his lips and didn't speak, and finally held back a sentence: "My rhubarb is a good helper for cultivating the fields, if you sell it at a low price, you will be killed and eat meat, I am reluctant!"

When Meng Xi heard this, his eyes lit up, a good helper for cultivating the fields?

Haha, God help me!

She walked over quickly, "Let me pass!"

Squeezing away the few onlookers of cattle dealers, Meng Xi walked in front of Yu Tieniu, "Are you selling ploughing cattle?"

Yu Tiesheng looked at the little girl in front of him, and nodded a little shyly, "Well, it's a ploughing cow! I've been working for my family for several years, and I'm very obedient and capable!"

It wasn't like talking about livestock, but about a good friend.

Meng Xi was even more sure that this cow was used by farmers to plow the fields, not the calves in the hands of other cattle dealers. It's just great.

"Little brother, I want to buy this cow, can the price be negotiable?" Meng Xi knew that the cattle and horse dealers had secret words to negotiate the price, but she really didn't understand, so she could only bargain as if she were buying things ordinarily.

Fortunately, Yu Tiesheng didn't understand those special bargaining methods, so he wasn't surprised.

"I'm sorry, girl, my father's illness needs at least fifteen taels of silver, and it's cheaper to sell, and my father's money for treatment is not enough!"

Meng Xi knew that although she felt that this price was indeed a little expensive, she was really a little reluctant to give up when she looked at the cow that was not easy to meet.

"Girl, if your family wants to buy cattle and go back to plowing the fields, I can go and tell you how to do it!" Yu Tiesheng didn't want to give up this rare business, so he scratched his head and proposed a way to fold it.

Meng Xi's eyes lit up, what a good idea! She bought a ploughing cow and went back, it was really impossible for anyone to use it, if this young man was willing to teach, the problem would be much easier!

"Okay! deal!" Meng Xi was a cheerful person, and immediately decided to make a deal.

Yu Tiesheng burst into tears with excitement, "Thank you, girl!

As he spoke, he was going to kneel. After so many days, I finally got lucky. Otherwise, if it drags on any longer, the family will really have no money to give his father medicine, and he may have to lower the price to sell the cattle.

When the other hawkers saw Meng Xi pay fifteen taels of silver to buy an old cow, they all looked at her with the same eyes as monsters.

I had the heart to remind her that it was expensive, but when she thought of the miserable situation of Yu Tieniu's family, she was entangled again.

Meng Xi squinted and smiled when he saw the expressions of these people who wanted to speak and stopped.

It is said that there are no businessmen and no treachery, and these cattle dealers look good, so it would be better if they take care of their business.

"Yu Tieniu, I still want to buy a few ploughing cows, can you help me pick them?"

Before the words fell, the cattle dealers immediately gathered around as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and scrambled to say, "I'll help you pick it!"

"Hehe, thank you for the kindness of the big brothers!" Meng Xi said with a smile, "But I believe in Yu Tieniu's vision more!"

Uh, the cattle dealer stopped talking.

Because most of the cattle they sell are bought by butchers, and occasionally some people buy them for farming, but they don't know what kind of cattle are more suitable for farming.

"Girl, the cattle in our hands are all purchased from farmers, they are young and strong, and with a little training, they will never have a problem plowing the fields. A cattle dealer reacted quickly and quickly recommended.

Yu Tieniu turned his head to look at the cows next to him a few times, and said in a low voice: "I can help you pick, and then help you train! My father has always raised cattle, and I have been learning from it since I was a child, so I am still good at this." It's time to repay you for buying a cow. ”

Wow –

Meng Xi wanted to whistle happily.

It's really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, this is called Yu Tieniu, not bad!

"Okay, I believe you, you can help me choose!"

After Meng Xi finished speaking, he really acted as the shopkeeper, stood aside, and watched Yu Tiesheng carefully select among those cows.

I saw him break open the cow's mouth to look at the teeth, squat down to look at the hooves, and pat the cow's hind buttocks a few times from time to time, which was really a sophisticated look.

Meng Xi had been quietly watching him pick out five cows, and then he didn't pick them.

"What's the matter? I'm going to buy a total of ten cows, and now I'm only six of yours, why don't you choose?"

Yu Tiesheng looked at the cattle dealer on the side in embarrassment, then gritted his teeth and said: "I have seen all the cattle, and those who can be trained to do farming cattle are either too old or too young, or their physique is not strong." ”

The cattle traders rolled their eyes in unison. This Yu Tieniu is really honest. I can't help them fool around four more times, it's a big deal to share some benefits with him.

Meng Xi looked like he had picked up a treasure, and happily traded with those cattle dealers.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, handing over the five cows to Da Zhuang to lead, Meng Xi was very happy.

"Yu Tie Niu, you can help me go to the other cattle dealers to pick a few more. ”

Yu Tieniu muttered and said, "Girl, can I change the place and help you choose?"

"Huh, why?" Meng Xi was very strange.

Yu Tieniu's voice became quieter, "Uh, there are still a few ploughing cattle in our village, and they can farm without training, do you want to take a look?"

Oh, there's an inside story!

Meng Xi's kindness is about to burst.

A few people left the cattle and horse market and found a secluded place to stand, Meng Xi asked with a gossipy face.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

As soon as Meng Xi heard Yu Tieniu's words, he knew that there was definitely a story in it, otherwise how could there be several cattle sellers in his village at the same time.

You must know that ploughing cattle are the most valuable property for rural people, and even houses are important, so how can they be sold casually.

Yu Tieniu didn't hide it, and told everyone the reasons for selling cattle in a few words.

It turned out that their village was Yujiatun, which was not too far from Luming Village, and the population was not too large, but they were all relatively wealthy. Many families have raised cattle, and they can solve the problem of food and clothing by farming every year.

However, since the beginning of this winter, many people in the village have contracted strange diseases, especially the elderly, who are inexplicably unable to walk, and many doctors have not been able to cure them, but a lot of money has been spent.

In order to cure the disease, the old bottom of every household has been hollowed out, so they can only sell cattle.

When Yu Tiesheng finished speaking, tears fell, "I have been dependent on my father since I was a child, and I can't watch him suffer like this, so I'd rather sell the farming cattle than cure him." ”

Meng Xi was moved by his filial piety, tilted her head and thought about it, and asked him a few more questions, and in the end, she suspected that these people were not sick, but just lacked calcium. But whether it is or not, you have to look at those patients to know.

"That's it, Yu Tieniu, you take us to your house, maybe I can cure your father's illness!"

"Girl, are you a doctor?" Yu Tiesheng's eyes widened in surprise.

Meng Xi shook his head, "I'm not a doctor!, but your father may not be sick!"

Yu Tiesheng was stunned. But he still led Meng Xi and them to his own house, anyway, his father was already like that, and he didn't have a strong hope.

After entering Yujiatun, Meng Xi carefully looked at the environment here, and sure enough, as Yu Tieniu said, surrounded by mountains, lush trees, and the scenery looked good.

The problem is that such villages are fine in the summer, but there is too little sunlight in the winter. In addition, almost all the people here eat pickles in winter, and the nutrition is not the same. The body of the elderly is getting weaker day by day, and it is normal to be deficient in calcium in such a situation.

When he saw Yu Tieniu and his father Yu Laoshi, Meng Xi's guess was basically confirmed.

"Tie Niu, your father doesn't need to take medicine for this disease......"

"What, girl, you haven't seen it yet, how can you conclude that my father is not good!" Yu Tieniu shouted with red eyes.

"Ahem-" Meng Xi was so angry that he coughed, "Which ear did you hear me say that your father is no good?"

Yu Tieniu was stunned, "Didn't you say you didn't need to take medicine......?"

Meng Xi gave him a blank look, "What medicine to take if you are not sick!"

"Not sick?"

Yu Tieniu and his father called at the same time.

Why can't you walk if you're not sick?

Meng Xi didn't know how to explain the calcium deficiency to them, so he simply said directly: "I'll give you a prescription, and you can eat it for a while!"

"Okay, good!" the two of them nodded in unison again.

As long as it can get a good disease, it doesn't matter what kind of disease it gets, whether it is a disease or not.

Meng Xi told Yu Tieniu to go to the butcher shop to buy some big bones and come back, knock on the soup for Yu Laoshi to drink, and then go out to bask in the sun every day, at least for two hours.

When they heard that there was not even a single herb in this recipe, the two of them were suspicious again.

"Girl, does this recipe work?"

Meng Xi rolled his eyes and asked rhetorically, "You drank so many decoctions, did it work?"

Shake your head!

"That's amazing, sometimes you don't need medicinal materials to cure diseases, and eating the right food can cure diseases!" After Meng Xi finished speaking, he instructed again: "If you can get sesame seeds, grind them into powder and eat them, it will get better faster." ”

That's all she can think of for calcium supplements at this time, I hope it can help them.

"Sesame? Yu Tieniu said he didn't know what it was.

Meng Xi was helpless, so he had to say: "Drink bone broth and bask in the sun every day, it should be fine after a while." ”

Yu Tieniu gratefully sent Meng Xi out, "Girl, I'll take you to other people's houses to buy cattle." ”

Although Meng Xi has not handed over fifteen taels of silver to him so far, Yu Tieniu still honestly handed over the reins of the cow to Meng Xi, and then took her to other people's houses to buy cattle.

"You idiot!What kind of cattle are you buying!" Meng Xi really didn't know what to say to this honest young man.

"Ah, don't you buy cows, aren't you still missing four?" Yu Tieniu didn't understand.

"I'm not missing four, but I'm missing five!" Meng Xi said angrily, "So, tomorrow you have to go to the town with me to help me pick up cattle!"

Yu Tieniu's eyes were dazed, he didn't understand!

"You're really an iron bull, stupid!" Meng Xi sighed with his forehead raised.
