When Yu Lifei first saw the round groove, he thought it was a stone. Because he knows that after the cow eats the grass, he always likes to lick the trough. After a long time, the trough is naturally shiny. As soon as he approached, he immediately felt that something was calling to him, and when he poured grass into the trough and touched the inner wall of the round trough with the back of his hand, a clear three-dimensional figure immediately appeared in his mind.

Seeing the graphics in his mind, Yu Lifei immediately thought of his big red sandalwood pen holder. It's just that this thing, with a girdle in the middle, but a larger diameter. If it weren't used to feed the cattle, the cow's head would be able to stick into a part, and the diameter would probably be more than 20 centimeters.

Ma Yuelong asked Yu Lifei to feed the cow, originally he was full of anger, but after touching this cow trough, his anger turned into surprise. It's really a blessing to lose a horse. It's just that Yu Lifei tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and his face tried to be as calm as possible. But the smile on his face was much more real.

"Uncle Ma, you are a good cow, tall and strong." After Yu Lifei poured the grass into it, he touched the back of his neck. When he was a child, his partner herded cattle, and he often rode on the back of the cow to play. At that time, one of my favorite things to do was to take a stick and tickle the cow's tail, and it was very fun to watch the cow's tail quickly.

"That is, my family's more than a dozen acres of land are reliable." Ma Yuelong smiled proudly, in their place, the ox is a symbol of wealth. Many people can only rely on themselves or borrow other people's cattle when they are busy farming, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also always has to be done after others are busy before it can be their turn. "It's been a hard day, and it needs to be fed a few eggs."

Because of the importance of knowing the Tao cow, it is good for it and even for people. In the busy farming season, it is necessary to add food. Many people don't know how to drink eggs from a cow, but it's actually very simple. Take a small bamboo tube and cut it into a beveled shape on the side of the opening. Crack the raw eggs into it, raise the cow's head as high as possible, and then pour the eggs from the bamboo tube into the cow's mouth.

"Uncle Ma, your cow eats and drinks well, and grows well. The only thing that is a little unworthy is this trough, the trough is too small, not to mention, there is not even a place to drink water. You are now the number one in the village, how can the cattle at home use such a trough, it is too much. Yu Lifei said with a sigh.

"Less, you have a lot of ideas in your head, why don't you think of a way for your uncle?" Ma Yuelong was said by Yu Lifei, and he really felt that this was the case. This cow trough was taken from someone else's house when he was young. After using it for so many years, I have always felt that there is something wrong, but now that Yu Lifei said it, the more he looked at this cow trough, the more unpleasant it became.

"There's only one way, and that's to change the slot. Uncle Ma, don't worry, this matter is on me. Why can't you make Secretary Ma's cow trough smaller than others? Yu Lifei said with a smile, and handed over another cigarette by the way.

"Less, I know that you can help my uncle." Ma Yuelong was very moved, he still felt a little guilty in his heart, did he go too far just now?

"Uncle Ma, I'm going back to Tanzhou tomorrow to do the cow trough business, you have to watch it yourself. Is 300 yuan enough to make a cow trough now? Yu Lifei immediately took out three hundred yuan, not to mention making a cow trough, even if it was to make a few more, it would be enough.

In ancient times, cattle troughs were first made of wood and stone. In the beginning, holes were dug in the middle of the wood to contain water and forage for cattle and other domestic animals to drink. Later, however, the number of livestock increased, and because of the durability of the carve, people began to gradually master the art of stone carving, and the stone was gradually used in the manufacture of cattle troughs.

In modern times, it is rare to see stone in cattle troughs today, because the stone is too heavy. Today's cattle troughs are mostly mixed with cement, bricks and other materials, which are lightweight, strong and durable. Whether it's a stone cow trough or a cement brick cow trough, three hundred dollars can definitely do both.

"Less, how can Uncle ask for your money?" Ma Yuelong refused in his mouth, but his hand held the money tightly, and he pulled the money over.

"Uncle Ma, in order to supervise you to make a cattle trough, and in order not to let others gossip, you should sell this cattle trough to me, okay?" Yu Lifei said.

"It's still less thoughtful than thinking, Uncle is very optimistic about you. In the future, you are in the provincial capital, don't worry about your grandfather, if there is anything, let him come to me. Ma Yuelong felt that Yu Lifei was indeed very good, not only sending things, but also thinking of ways to send money to himself. If you don't treat yourself better, I'm really sorry for my conscience.

"Then I'll thank Uncle Ma for my grandfather Xie Lu." Yu Lifei felt that even if he didn't have this bull trough today, his three hundred yuan would be worth it.

Seeing that Yu Lifei was still carrying something when he came back, the old man was stunned. Yu Lifei went to Ma Yuelong's house to deliver things, why did Ma Yuelong return things when he came back? With his understanding of Ma Yuelong, this is simply impossible.

"Is this big sea of pens a doorman?" When Yu Lifei came back, he washed the sea of pens on the edge of the pond, and basically showed his true face. This is a large pen holder with a corset, although he can't see the material, but it is certainly not ordinary.

If the pen holder is more than 19 centimeters, it is called the sea of pens. In fact, Yu Lifei's red sandalwood pen holder can also be regarded as a sea of pens. But this one is a few centimeters larger than the red sandalwood pen holder. Placed on the table, it looks very beautiful and complete. Although the cattle have been fed for decades, they have not been damaged at all.

"This sea of brushes is a girdle shape, the lines are clear and graceful, like a landscape painting, typical Huanghuali grimace features, very open, brown and red color is pleasing to the eye. This device has a heavy slurry and excellent oil content. It's rare to see a pen holder of this size. The two sides of the rim and bottom of the barrel are very rounded and even, which shows that the carving is very fine. The old man took it, lit the oil lamp, and looked at it carefully.

"I don't see it, but you also have a good understanding of antiques." Yu Lifei said with a smile.

"Read more books, and you'll know everything." The old man said that in the past few decades, he has hardly had any contact with the outside world, and there is no entertainment in the mountains, except for listening to the radio, he is almost reading a book.

"You just said that this is a typical Huanghuali grimace, is this the marking?" Yu Lifei pointed to some irregular textures on the sea and asked.

"Not bad." The old man was not a professional antique appraiser, and much of his knowledge came from books and had not been practiced. It is very rare to be able to make such an explanation.

"I didn't expect us to have such a good thing here." Yu Lifei walked around the village today and didn't find anything decent. I didn't expect to go to Ma Yuelong's house, but I gained a lot. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. It seems that his ancient jade skills still need to be practiced, and he also walked around Ma Yuelong's house, but he didn't feel it at that time.

"Where did you get it?" The old man asked, he had been here for more than 20 years, and he had a certain understanding of antiques, but he couldn't remember who had such good things.

"Who else can there be, it's Ma Yuelong's family. This is his cow trough, which I bought for 300 yuan. Yu Lifei told him what had just happened, and when he talked about Ma Yuelong's grateful, he couldn't help laughing.

"It's really a waste of this thing in his house." The old man said slowly, if it was someone else's thing, he would definitely ask Yu Lifei to make up some money. But the thing belongs to Ma Yuelong, if he goes back to make up the money, I'm afraid this big laughing sea will be taken back by him.

"It's not convenient to always use oil lamps at home, why don't you let the village pull a wire?" Yu Lifei said. Ma Yuelong is very grateful to him now, and it shouldn't be a problem to let the village do this.

"No need, I can't shine for a few minutes a day, what is that god doing? If you really can't spend all the money, you can help the village build a road. The reason why the village is poor now is mainly because of the lack of roads. The old man said.

"You really look up to me, with my little money, it's not enough to build roads." Yu Lifei shook his head, if he wants to let the village open the road, I'm afraid it is impossible to have hundreds of thousands. And this is only a gravel road, if you want to pave cement or asphalt, it is impossible without two or three million.

"That's what I'll say, you can't do it, that's your business. But I think we've lived here for decades, and you won't come back again, so you should do a good deed for the village. The old man said lightly.

"I'll do my best." Yu Lifei nodded solemnly.
