Chapter 1 Buying a Cow
Before entering the town, Sanchahe Town must cross the West Bridge, and not far from the West Bridge, on the right is the site where Yan Fei is preparing to open a cattle farm. As Pang Fa said, not far behind the cattle farm is the mouth www.biquge.info of the Sancha River, which is the confluence of the three rivers, and on the left is the West River, and on the right is the East River.
The location is excellent, and if there is a flaw, it is that the water of the West River has been polluted by the paper mills of the county upstream. Standing at the water's edge, there is always a smell that is not very good, but fortunately, after a long period of precipitation, this smell is not so obvious.
After the cattle farm and a short turn on the road, there is a station on the left, and now there is no car parked here, and there are two or three families living in it. It is thanks to the blessing here that Yanfei can have electricity, and the power supply time is still long, and the power outage time is less.
This place is the entrance of the whole town, it is a really good place, the place outside the wall of Sanchahe Town, the north will not be flooded, but there are all village farmland, the west is the river There is not much vacant land, and as long as the east and southeast are outside the wall, they will be washed by the flood at any time in summer.
Only the area of the station, which is in the middle of two rivers and so close to the mouth of the Sancha River, is high enough that there is basically no danger of flooding.
Yan Fei was talking to an old man at this time: "Master Cheng, you can rest assured that you can live here, you don't have to do any work, just watch the door." If there are really people who come to steal cattle and make them bad, you don't have to care, just remember what people look like. The main thing is that when I'm not around during the day, just pay attention to the cows. ”
The old man smiled and nodded, not showing any contempt at all because of the young age of the new owner.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell Uncle Cheng that you can take care of food and housing for a month, and give you thirty yuan of pocket money. I said Yan Fei, where did you get the leather coat? It looks so cool? Xiaofa, do you think this is the same as who is wearing it in the movie?"
"That's right, it must be, the Four Heavenly Kings' Andy Lau wore it, I'll look at the brand, foreign brands, it's really this, it's too good Yan Fei, where did it come from?" Pang Fa looked at this leather coat with envy.
Yan Fei really didn't know that this leather coat was so good, he changed all day long, and he had to take off his clothes. Of course, the less clothes you wear, the better, and this leather coat is windproof and convenient, of course, he unceremoniously put it on.
As a result, one afternoon, Leng was surrounded by these two people around the leather clothes and discussed for a long time, until he said that he would give the clothes to these two to wear, and the two of them were finally embarrassed to ask for it, although it was a resignation, but the envy on their faces could not be concealed.
It's good to have a more trendy dress these days, not to mention a foreign brand, for these young people, it's simply an artifact-like existence, everywhere you go, that ...... Well, in fact, most people have never heard of it at all, and only a very small number of young people who are trendy enough to know about it.
Early the next morning, Yan Fei went to the school to register, and then went straight to the bull market.
He had already begun to inquire about the purchase of cattle, and he usually went to the fifth brother's shop, where he was at the veterinarian's station, and inquired about the price of cattle from time to time, and the calf he wanted to buy was currently five hundred to one thousand according to the calf's physique month.
Thinking about the money that those gangsters "compensated" themselves yesterday was enough to buy a cow, Yan Fei felt happy in his heart.
The bull market in the small township is not big, because it is just after the New Year, and it is very clean. The bull market is not only for cattle, but also for large livestock such as horses, donkeys and mules.
The cattle in Wancheng City are the most famous, and the donkeys in the next city are also famous, in fact, because it is a neighboring city, there are also a lot of donkeys here.
As for the horses, there are not many, and they are all pack horses with small heads, and in the past, when there were fewer tractors, there were more horses, but now there are fewer and fewer of them.
When it comes to price, the cow is the boss.
It's just that Yan Fei was a little disappointed, probably because the cattle market was not as hot as he imagined just after the New Year, and there were not many calves, and because they were all dry feed in winter, the calves were not fat.
After a while, Yan Fei hadn't found the cow he liked, but Pang Fa came over, and when he asked, he learned that he heard that he wanted to buy a cow yesterday, and he came to help take a look today.
The two chatted for a few words and went separately to look at the cow, and after a while, Yan Fei saw that someone had made a few deals, and he was a little anxious.
Looking at a calf that was about the same, he went up and asked the price: "Uncle, how did you sell this cow?"
The old cattle seller smiled and said, "You asked for the family, right? Nine hundred yuan, you let the family come over to see if it is worth it, they are all fed by themselves, and they don't pit you." ”
Yan Fei often wandered around the veterinary station, and also learned from Pang Fa to borrow a few books related to cattle for a few days, and he also had some experience in watching cattle. If there is a single cow, he may not be able to judge accurately, but with so many cows in one market, it is indeed quite easy to compare which cow is good and which is not.
Just now he had already looked around the cow, this is the standard Wancheng cattle, the skeleton is not small, the fur is smooth and the limbs are strong, and at first glance it is a good calf.
"Eight hundred yuan, it will be sold when it is completed. Cattle are good cows, but you also know what the price of cattle is now, nine hundred must be expensive. Yan Fei said as he put his hand on the cow's back and pressed it hard.
"Moo......"
The little calf let out a cry with a little milky sound, his body softened slightly, and he quickly stood up, shaking his body vigorously, trying to shake off Yan Fei's hand.
Seeing the old farmer looking at him in amazement, Yan Fei was quite satisfied, and smiled: "It's very strong, and it's weird to be smart." Eight hundred dollars, you have to agree to the deal. ”
The old farmer wanted to raise the price a little more just now, seeing that Yan Fei was very neat, he smiled honestly: "Connoisseur, it is not easy to understand cattle at such a young age, eight hundred is the regular price, so I will give it to you." Mainly my own domestic things, a little reluctant. ”
Yan Fei was about to pay for it neatly, and the old farmer secretly looked around and said in a low voice: "Let's go, go out and give money, give money at this time so that Niu Economy can see it, and I have to draw money!"
Yan Fei didn't understand the rules, so he went out with the old farmer, and greeted Pang Fa by the way.
After the three of them finished trading in a small alley by the market, the old farmer happily took the money and left.
Pang Fa also complained: "The price of the bull is still a bit expensive for 800 yuan, if it is a mother, it is almost the same." Next time you should wait for me to bargain. ”
Yan Fei smiled: "What are you afraid of, it's almost the difference of thirty or fifty yuan, I don't bother to say it." Don't you think this cow is very strong, maybe you can use it as a breeding cow in the future!"
When it comes to raising cattle, Yan Fei is now a set, and Pang Fa can't talk about him. The two men found a tree on the edge of the market and tied it, and they were not afraid to steal it, so they continued to go to the market.
Something happened when they split up.
Yan Fei saw a group of people around there, and when he went over, it turned out that a few people wanted to buy a middle-aged woman's calf, because fifty yuan could not be negotiated, and several people had to lead it, and the woman was about to cry, holding on to the leash and not letting the cow rope be untied.
This kind of thing is normal in the cattle market, and the cattle raised by families in the countryside want to sell them at a high price, and they are reluctant. If the buyer and seller have an understanding of the cattle economy, the cattle economy will be biased.
Yan Fei looked at this calf and it was not bad, but he was too young just now, and it was estimated that he had only been weaned for a few days, so he didn't come to ask. Now when I heard this woman say that someone in her family was sick and came out to sell cattle, I felt that the price of five hundred and fifty yuan was okay.
Seeing that a few people went up to pull the woman, Yan Fei went over and interjected: "I want this cow, I'll buy it for five hundred and five." If you don't buy it, don't pull it. ”
The bull economy of the bull market, in the eyes of ordinary people, belongs to "decent people", and when Yan Fei interjected like this, a young man was dissatisfied: "Do you understand, children are playing, don't interject, if you want to buy, your family is also an adult." ”
Yan Fei ignored him, and directly took out the money and counted five hundred and fifty yuan to the woman: "This cow is mine now!"
A few people immediately stopped pulling, and the young man was unwilling: "Aren't you making trouble? We're talking? Are you still talking about the rules? Whose child is this? What about the adults? Come out and say something?"
