After everyone got up, Li really talked to Lao Luo Tou about buying an ox cart at the dinner table, at that time Lao Luo Tou was still different, before Li said that the five hundred taels of the summer solstice could not be moved, but now he wants to buy an ox cart, but although he was puzzled, he didn't say anything. only said that he really had to follow when he bought the cow, and he should give the palm of his hand, and don't buy the sick cow back.

So after breakfast, Tian Lao Si carried the summer solstice on his back, the three brothers of the Tian family and Lao Luo Tou went on the road, of course, Tian Lao Er and Tian Lao San did not go to Niangniang Town, he mainly went to Xu Jiaji to see the Tian family's hundred acres, this is about to be harvested, or to see diligently, that is indispensable to greedy people, not to mention some birds, although the summer solstice method, erected some scarecrow heads, or to inspect from time to time better, after all, Tian is far away, I don't know the specific situation of the road.

The wind in October is already a little cool, the summer solstice was carried by Tian Laosi, looking at the golden rice ears in front of him, I couldn't help but think that her five acres of field, because of the reasons for building a house at home, is not as good as the first season of rice care, but now it has been tasseled and filled, although the leaves are still green, but as long as the heading is filled, there is nothing to worry about, it is estimated that it will be harvested at the end of October, so Xia Solstice has not much to worry about.

"Daddy, what kind of good should I buy this cow?" But it turned out that when Xia Zhi was distracted, Tian Laosi and Tian Laoda asked Lao Luotou how to buy cattle. Xia Zhi was lying on Tian Laosi's back and was stunned, and he also wanted to know how Lu Dao sold cattle in ancient times.

After listening to the youngest son's inquiry, Lao Luotou talked to the two along the way, Tian Lao Er, Tian Lao San, and Xia Zhi had already separated from them.

It turned out that the Dawu Dynasty had clear regulations in order to supervise agricultural affairs. It is forbidden to slaughter cattle at will, unless they are too old to do anything. Only a certificate issued by the government can be slaughtered. If the cattle are slaughtered casually, they will be sentenced, and if the cattle are sick and die, they must also report to the government office, and the cattle are not allowed to be sold casually, and if anyone wants to buy or sell cattle, they must go to the cattle dealer who has a certificate from the government. Naturally, with this monopoly business, the price of cattle is naturally high.

So on the summer solstice, they went to the biggest cattle dealer in Niangniang Town this time. Listen to Lao Luotou, the cattle dealer's surname is Niu. He also did the business of selling cattle, and the cattle in his hands were well taken care of, and he began to sell cattle when Lao Luotou was a child, and he was very famous in the area of Niangniang Town, and the cattle he bought or sold were never sick cattle.

Xia Zhi has been to Niangniang Town so many times, but I haven't heard of this 'cow man' but I haven't paid attention to this aspect before, and it's normal if I haven't heard of it, Lao Luo Touhe with two sons. But he passed by the east gate of Niangniang Town, but he did not enter the city, and walked directly along the north of the moat.

It turned out that the 'cattle man' was not in Niangniang Town, and there was a small village a few miles away in Li Niangniang Town, and I heard that cattle were also bought and sold in the town in the past. But once again, the cow was mad and injured and thought it was a nobleman, and then he was not allowed to enter the town, and was only allowed to sell it in the cattle village.

On the summer solstice, they went straight all the way. Finally, I faintly saw another small village, and when I got closer, I saw that the small village also erected a fast sign. wrote the word Niuzhuang, and at this time the summer solstice was put down by Tian Laosi. Pulling in his hand, Lao Luo led everyone and walked to Zhuangzi, Xia Zhi found that Zhuangzi was nailed to the fence everywhere, and there were many cows tied to the fence, and the ground was very clean, there was no cow, flies were everywhere, Xia Solstice looked around, and looked at the cattle in the bullpen several times, thinking that the family should choose the cow.

Suddenly, she found that there was a cow in the corner away from the bullpen, and the cow was very thin, it looked like it was sick, it was strange that there was no sick cow here in the 'cow man', this is obviously a sick cow, is it a rumor, in fact, there are still sick cows, just less, but look at what Grandpa just said does not look like a rumor.

Xia Zhi hesitated and was curious, so she couldn't help but sell a few steps and went in the direction of the sick cow, but she forgot that her hand was being pulled by Tian Laosi, and the two went in different directions. Tian Laosi hugged Xia Zhi's small body and whispered:

"Don't run around, follow Daddy, be careful of being injured by the cow!"

"Daddy, you see there's a sick cow there, Grandpa didn't say that there is no sick cow here, but this is obviously there!" Xia Zhi pointed in the direction of the sick cow and asked Tian Laosi to see.

Tian Laosi looked in the direction of Xia Zhi's finger and found that there was indeed a sick cow, but he didn't have the curiosity of Xia Zhi, and the sick cow didn't buy it at home, so he bowed his head and said: "Good, if we don't buy the sick cow, we still follow your grandfather!" As he spoke, he pulled Xia Zhi and followed behind Li Lao Luo's head.

On the summer solstice, they kept walking, and found that the village was very quiet, except for the sound of the cow's breath, they didn't meet a person, and they turned over the bullpen and came to a house, and then they walked to the 'cow man'. The 'cattle man' looks ordinary, estimated to be in his sixties, wearing a gray coat, and two middle-aged people in their thirties.

Lao Luotou and Tian Lao Si followed the 'cattle man' to listen to his introduction to the cow, Tian Lao Si unconsciously let go of Xia Zhi's hand, Xia Zhi saw Tian Lao Si send his hand, and his heart was still thinking about the sick cow, so he walked to the corner of the bullpen.

When Xia Zhi approached, he found that the cow was not only very thin, but also had lost all the hair on his body, his eyes were red and crazy, and he seemed to be itchy on his body. How do you look at this symptom like gallstones, thinking of the summer solstice here, my eyes can't help but light up, the cow has gallstones is not the bezoar, this is a famous Chinese medicine, natural bezoars are rare things in modern times, presumably in this ancient times is not so casual, especially in this lack of medicine in the Dawu Dynasty.

Xia Zhi once had a colleague mention it to her, saying that her parents called to say that the old scalper in the family was very thin and had lost hair all over his body. And his eyes are red, he is very manic, and he always wants to drink water, but every time he feeds him water, he doesn't drink much. Sluggish, lazy, always trying to sleep. And always don't eat. Ask a colleague if you can find a veterinarian for a consultation.

Later, I heard from a colleague that the cow spit out something after the most spit. I'm fine, and the thing that spit out has been kept by her house. It wasn't until a coincidence a year later that her colleague realized that the cow spit out was actually a bezoar. And isn't this cow in front of her the same situation as the situation described by her colleague's parents, Xia Zhi was a little excited, this bezoar is not worth a lot of money, maybe even the money to buy the cow has been earned.

However, it was determined that the cow might have a bezoar, and Xia Zhi immediately thought of how to take out the bezoar without hurting the cow, which was a troublesome thing. But now we should not think about this problem, but how to convince Grandpa and Daddy to buy this sick cow. You must know that Grandpa Lu Dao came with her because she was afraid that they would buy a sick cow to go back, but now she just wants to buy a sick cow to go back.

"What are you doing on the summer solstice?" But Tian Laosi found that Xia Solstice was gone, so he searched everywhere and found that Xia Solstice was about to run to the sick cow.

Xia Zhi looked up and found that Grandpa and Uncle were still looking around for cows, and only Tian Laosi walked in her direction. couldn't help but take two steps forward, stretched out his hand to ask Tian Laosi to hug him, Xia Zhi felt that he still had to tell his father about this matter. Otherwise, Grandpa would definitely not listen to her.

"Daddy, look at that cow, I heard Grandpa Xu say that all cows are dissipated, shedding, red-eyed, and often howling. Itchy, sluggish, always want to sleep, don't eat well, and have necessary goods in the stomach," Xia Zhi said in a low voice to Tian Laosi. At this time, Dr. Xu must be moved out.

Tian Laosi couldn't help but laugh when he saw her cautious little appearance. However, he also asked in a low voice according to the summer solstice: "Oh~ What kind of goods are there?" ”

"Grandpa Xu said, there is no doubt that it must be a bezoar. Daddy, bezoar is a very important medicinal material, if you have a bezoar, you can buy a cow! Xia Zhi explained.

Tian Laosi was a little suspicious, there was still a treasure on this sick cow: "Really? ”

"Really! Daddy, let Grandpa buy this cow! Xia Zhi solemnly promised to arrive, and urged Tian Laosi to let Lao Luotou buy the sick cow.

"What are you buying?" But it turned out that Lao Luotou and the 'cow man' finished reading the cow and found that Tian Laosi didn't follow, so they looked for it

"Grandpa, can we buy this cow?" Xia Zhi saw a rare opportunity, so he hurriedly spoke.

"This cow ......" Lao Luo could see at a glance that the cow was a sick cow.

"Hey——, speaking of which this cow was originally good, but I don't know why Lu Dao suddenly got sick, and he didn't eat what he fed, and he lay here every day, and often had to drink water, feed it water, and he didn't drink much, and he was sluggish, and now his hair has fallen out, and he is dissatisfied with you saying that he is afraid that he will not live for a few days, and I am afraid that he will pass the disease to other cows, so he will be tied here alone!" The 'cow man' sighed beside Lao Luotou.

"Grandpa, can we buy it and it, it looks so pitiful!" Xia Zhi once again offered to buy a sick cow.

"This cow is sick, and if you buy it back, it will be a death, it's useless!" When Lao Luo heard Xia Zhi's words, he frowned and refused.

"Daddy, even if you want to buy it on the summer solstice, let her buy it, this cow looks weird!" Tian Laosi said that although he still didn't believe in Xia Zhi's statement, it didn't prevent him from helping his daughter.

Lao Luotou frowned again, how can this granddaughter and son be so ignorant, buy a sick cow and go back, can't do anything, and spend money, isn't this an obvious loss-making deal, Lao Luotou wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but was interrupted by the 'cattle man'.

"It's not necessary to buy it, I'm a sincere person, this cow obviously can't go down, and the meat of this sick cow can't be sold out, if you really want it, buy one and get one free, but when this cow dies, I want to trouble you to report it to the top, just bury it!" The above mentioned here is the government office, and it is said that after the cow dies of illness, it needs to be reported to the government office.

"Really! That's great, Xie Lu Xie Niu Grandpa! Xia Zhi didn't expect this boss to be so generous, and he actually gave a whole cow to the Tian family.

"Grandpa Niu is conditional, but it's not for free, your family has to buy cattle from me to send it" Seeing Xia Zhi's excited appearance, the 'cow man' couldn't help laughing. The sick cow was of little use to him, and he was always worried that he would spread the disease to the other cows when he kept it in the pen.

"Buy, we're here for the cow, grandpa, let's go buy the cow!" Xia Zhi couldn't wait to pull this sick cow home now, so he hurriedly urged.

I don't have any opinion on the sick cow Lao Luotou sent by this send, anyway, it was sent, but it took a little trouble when he died, so Xia Zhi didn't say anything to him, and soon they took a fancy to a healthy cow in his prime, and paid twenty taels of silver, and the 'cow man' gave the Tian family two pieces of paper, saying that it was a cow note, which was similar to the deed of buying the field. Everything was done, Xia Zhi happily pulled the sick cow and walked back. (To be continued......)
