Gu Mingzhu fanned the front of his nose with his hand, and said to Gu Jinkang, "Dad, you go in and pick it!" I can't understand the quality of the ox, and it's useless to go in, just pick it out and I'll pay for it, and by the way, the ox cart is also matched, and it doesn't matter if it's stronger or more expensive. ”

Gu Jinkang nodded, and walked towards the market with Li Yanpin, but before he could go far, he was stopped by Chu Jing, "Dad, mother, let Yunchi go in with you!" Yunchi knows this better than you. ”

Chu Jingzhi suddenly made Li Yanpin and his wife stop, Gu Jinkang turned his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, let Yunchi join us, he will give us a palm, and we can rest assured." ”

Gu Jinkang knew that Yunchi was specialized in serving horses, and cows were similar to horses, so Yunchi must be able to see it at a glance.

Yun Chi followed with a smile, the general wanted to show his face in front of Li Yan's wife, he would behave well, when it came to bulls and horses, there was really no one who could compare to him, and most of the horses in the barracks were selected by him.

This is a cow! It's easier than picking a horse!

Gu Jinkang has long been eager to own a cow, and there is so much land in the Gu family's old house, but Mrs. Gu is reluctant to spend money to buy a cow.

Because she wanted to provide Gu Minghui with a study and spend the same amount of silver as running water, Mrs. Gu took the money seriously, and the money could only be used on Gu Minghui, and she would never agree to buy cattle.

What's more, there is such a free labor force as Erfang, which is used as a cow. The fields of the Gu family's old mansion were dug out by Gu Jinkang, Master Gu and Gu Quankang one by one.

Seeing the cow of the landlord's family Master Zhao plowing in the field, Gu Jinkang's heart was like a cat scratching, and he wanted to experience the taste of the ox plowing the field.

Now that this wish is about to come true, I am extremely excited.

Although the smell in the horse market was unpleasant, Gu Jinkang didn't care at all, and carefully looked at the cows one by one, Yun Chi followed behind him, his eyes glancing at those cows from time to time.

Although Gu Jinkang said that he liked cows, he really didn't have much experience in picking cows, so he turned his head and asked Yun Chi, "Brother Yun, this cow looks good, I don't know how to pick it?"

For the general's father-in-law, Yun Chi was quite respectful, and he lowered his head and said,

"The first thing to look at the skeleton of the cow is to pick the one with developed limbs, strong and powerful, the body height is not the higher the better, but the longer the body length is the better. The limbs of the ox should be short and stout, because in the later stage, the body of the ox must be strong and powerful limbs to support the body of the cow, so that the ox can work strongly, and the cow with long limbs can't even support its own weight, how can it have the strength to plow the field?

Secondly, look at the coat color, healthy cows, bright coat color, smooth to the touch, unhealthy cows, dull coat color, thick and miscellaneous cow hair, touch rough hands. “

"It turns out that there are so many exquisitenesses." Gu Jinkang sighed, fortunately, Yunchi came, if he really wanted to pick it himself, maybe he really picked a sick cow and went back, thinking of exchanging the silver for a sick cow...... Gu Jinkang couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Then we'll have to be careful."

Yun Chi nodded.

The two finally fell in love with a black bull and took it to the market to show Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu took a closer look, this cow had stubby limbs, it seemed to be very powerful, its black hair was shiny, and when he touched it with his hand, it was smooth and smooth, and it looked good.

The broker who came over saw that Gu Mingzhu was still very satisfied with the cow, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, Yun Chi and Gu Jinkang were picky about the cow in every way, and it took a long time to choose this cow, but he was really afraid that the two of them would be picky again. Now it seems that the business is done, and this is the best cow in the market.

"How much silver can I sell?" Gu Mingzhu asked.

"Twelve taels of silver, this is the best cow in the market, look at this coat color, this body shape ......" The broker said to Gu Mingzhu with a flattering face.

He can see that it is this teenage girl who is in charge here.

Gu Mingzhu looked at it and said, "Hmm! It's really good-looking. ”

Compared with other cattle in the market, this cow is indeed good-looking, with a long and wide body, well-developed limbs, and a beautiful coat.

The crowd is overwhelmed!

This is not a beauty pageant, what is good-looking or not?

The broker didn't know how to take Gu Mingzhu's words for a while.

Gu Mingzhu was very simple, and took out twelve taels of silver to buy this cow with Yunchi to check it, how can this cow be good!

The broker was overjoyed, and he wanted to make this business with a lot of words, but he didn't expect the other party to be a simple and generous master, so he bought it. Now is the farming time, the business is not very good, mainly the cattle to buy back, and there is no field to plow, but also to feed a winter forage, at this time to buy cattle is not cost-effective at all, who wants to spend a winter forage to feed the cattle, but also to be careful to serve, this ploughing cattle in the township is very expensive, but not careless.

Buying ploughing cattle is generally bought at the beginning of spring, when the grass in the field is rising, and there is no need to spend forage, you can plough the land in spring, and you can use it directly.

Therefore, no one will want to buy cattle in autumn and winter, which is really not cost-effective, which leads to the poor business of the cattle market.

In fact, the so-called ox cart is a thick wooden board with two wheels, and a pair of ox covers. There are ready-made accessories to sell in the market, so Gu Mingzhu simply bought them together and loaded the ox cart directly.

A pair of ox carts is ready.

Gu Jinkang excitedly touched the ox cart back and forth several times before letting go.

Since then, he has had his own ox cart.

Li Yanpin was also excited, their family finally had an ox cart, and in addition to Uncle Zhao in the village, they were the second people to buy an ox cart.

Although the landlord Zhao had cattle, they were used to cultivate the land, and his family owned horse-drawn carts and did not disdain ox carts at all.

A few people went out of the cattle and horse market, it was already noon, Gu Mingzhu promised the hotel shopkeeper to have lunch in the past, and also wanted to see how his hot pot and vegetables were selling in the restaurant by the way, so he said, "Let's go to Baijulou to eat!" ”

Gu Jinkang thought that Gu Mingzhu's previous treatment of the restaurant shopkeeper was just a prevarication, but he didn't expect Gu Mingzhu to really go to the restaurant with a very high cost to eat.

"Mingzhu, let's not go to Baijulou to eat, let's change places! It's a big place to eat. Although Li Yanpin saw Gu Mingzhu make money with her own eyes, she had always been used to being disciplined, and she still disagreed with Gu Mingzhu spending money so lavishly.

Life is a trickle, how can you spend money like this?

And Chu Jing didn't stop it, if she went on like this, she could be pampered with her temper, how could she get it in the future.
