Chapter 2 There is a problem with the cow
"Hey!" The old man sighed and said after a while, "You think I don't want to buy cows?" ”
Everyone looked at the old man. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I don't want to think about it, He Mazi is a good-looking person? He's so kind to sell cattle for five dollars? ”
Uncle: "When the time comes, he won't be allowed to cheat!" ”
Second uncle: "That's it, as long as you press the handprint, you can't help him!" Dad, a cow in the market costs eight dollars, then I still remember that I bought it in the autumn last year, when I was still a calf, and we were only one year old together, we can buy it for many years, and we don't suffer a loss! ”
was said by the three sons, the old man repeatedly considered, as long as He Mazi pressed the handprint, even if he wanted to regret it, it would not be done, and when the time came, the Niu family could rent some more land, although it was said that life was a little tighter now, but as long as it was the autumn harvest, it would be regarded as turning over.
This is indeed a good deal, and he didn't hesitate to say immediately: "Okay, our Yang family bought this cow for him!" Boss, early tomorrow morning, you and the third child will find Steward Li and sell half of the grain. The second child went to ask the village to help him testify! ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the entire Yang family was overjoyed, and the Yang family was finally about to have a cow!
The next day, before dawn, my father and uncle got up, went to the village to borrow an ox cart from the village in high spirits, and rushed to the city with food.
Although there are also merchants in the town who collect grain, but compared with the copper money exchanged in the city, it is at least thirty percent less, it is nothing more than a little more travel, even on weekdays, everyone will not sell grain to the town, only those ignorant stunned people will do that kind of stupid thing.
After a while, the second uncle also left, and with the family's twenty eggs, he wanted to go to the village again, and ask the village to witness the purchase of cattle.
The family is not idle, and several cousins must build a cowshed in the backyard as soon as possible to prepare the upcoming new members to settle down.
Yang Ming also brought a small trumpet basket, he was going to the river to cut some grass, this is the favorite food of cattle, although there is not much to do, but it is also a bit of a help.
Everyone is busy with what they have to do, and they don't have any worries or tempers.
......
The hopeful life made everyone full of energy, and before noon, the uncle and father came back, and they smiled and hugged a bag of copper coins from the ox cart.
It didn't take long for the second uncle, Muramasa, and He Mazi to also come.
He Mazi was holding a sturdy big scalper in his hand, and from time to time he took a branch and beat it twice, and he looked at the old man with a lot of distress.
"Brother, is that the cow our family wants to buy?" Yang Lan opened her eyes wide and looked at the mooing old cow, her face was a little unbearable, like the rest of the family, she also regarded this big guy as a member of the family, and when she saw the old cow being beaten, she was full of hostility to He **zi.
Yang Ming smiled, the transaction has not been completed yet, the cow is naturally He Mazi's private property, although he is also a little reluctant, but after all, it is understandable for people to discipline their own cattle.
"Well, you are obedient, don't mess around, go to the front to see Daddy, they buy cattle!"
"Okay, I'll just stand here, brother, tell that bad pockmark to stop beating it!"
In fact, Yang Ming also felt strange, this cow didn't seem to have any problems, on the contrary, it was very robust. The limbs are thick, the physique is strong, and there is a mark on the back of the ox's neck, which is the mark of pulling the plow, and it seems that it has already begun to work.
This is a good cow that can already go down to the ground.
Yang Ming defined in his heart.
The old man also smiled happily, and his wrinkled face glowed red.
The transaction was actually not complicated, the two parties pressed their handprints on the paperwork that the uncle brought back from the city under the nose of the village, and then handed over the money with one hand and the cattle with the other, and the business was completed.
"Lao He, Lao Cunzheng, let's have a meal at home together?" The old man sincerely wanted to invite the two of them to have a meal at home, and the old village was witnessing that this was what it should be, and He Mazi was able to sell cattle for five dollars, which was also a lot of losses, although it was a consensual thing, he still felt a little sorry for others.
"No need, there's still something to do at home, there's still something to do!" He Mazi picked up the copper coin and walked towards the end of the village step by step.
At this moment, Yang Ming clearly saw He Mazi breathe a sigh of relief.
There must be something wrong with the cow!
It's just that he doesn't know where the problem is.
The cow is a good cow, and it is also the village that watches the field, which cannot be faked, but it is impossible to do it unless this person is a fool.
What the hell is the problem there?
After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Ming still couldn't find a clue, so he simply didn't want to, because the whole family had warmly welcomed the new member into the cowshed and entertained it with the fattest grass that Yang Ming had cut.
There is an old village, and the food at noon is much richer, the dry rice of sorghum rice is mixed with some white rice, which is steaming hot, and there are two fish, both of which are braised and cut into pieces by the women, exuding this tempting aroma.
In fact, in Yang Ming's opinion, the taste is not very good, and the clear soup is not watery, and there are not a few more drops of oil and water, but such a day is also a kind of luxury, and it is already a big surprise for the poor to be able to eat a full meal, so they can't expect the taste.
There is also a bowl of meat, the vegetables occupy seven layers, and the oil is placed in front of the old man and the village masa, if he doesn't buy a cow, the old man is impossible to be willing to eat meat.
Of course, there is also wine, the turbid yellow soup is mixed with a lot of unknown floating things, this is the rice wine brewed at home, Yang Ming can be sure that this is just a little bit of wine, it is estimated that it is not more than twenty degrees, even if it is so full, the days of the year that can be drunk can be counted on one hand.
Everyone cherishes this hard-won lunch, even a drop of oil is licked away, no one laughs at anyone, and no one stops what they are doing, for the farmer, food is precious, it cannot be wasted, even a grain of sorghum rice is the same, they should go into the stomach and not be shamefully squandered on an insignificant face.
On the dinner table.
"Congratulations, brother, your Yang family finally has cattle, while the sun is still long, you can go to the mayor's house to get dozens of acres of land to plant, and then you can have more harvests!" Lao Cun was talking, his chopsticks were heading towards a big fat clip, and a little smile appeared on his old face.
"I still want to thank my brother for helping to witness!" The old man laughed and continued: "Brother, the family also plans to do so, go and get another twenty acres of land, and take advantage of the fact that there are cattle to plow it now, and come to drink!" ”
