CHAPTER XLVII
Maybe it was because of Fang Xiaoxiao's promise, this mother-in-law also provided Fang Xiaoxiao with a message.
"It's hard to find cows these days, but I've heard people who have entered the city say that there is a family in the city who has an old cow at home, and they usually make money by pulling carts from old cows. Their family is only a single seedling, and they are still sick seedlings, and if you can make a sum of money, I think the family will sell you the cows. ”
The old woman didn't say how much it cost, but Fang Xiaoxiao understood.
Cattle are important assets, and even if you have money, you may not be able to find someone willing to sell them.
But an old cow, a sum of money that is rich enough, the other party should be willing to think about it.
This news was very important to Fang Xiaoxiao, she thanked the old woman and went home in the village.
The matter of cattle is more important, so Fang Xiaoxiao decided to go to the city to buy cattle first, and then do other things when he comes back.
Fang Xiaoxiao went home to get money, and now Fang Xiaoxiao is also a little rich woman, her family is very thick, and Fang Xiaoxiao can easily buy it back with an old cow.
This was the first time she had entered the city, and she came out of her house at dawn, and when she arrived at the city gate, it was time for breakfast.
The city is still very lively, many players have settled in the city, doing jobs such as the second chef, Fang Xiaoxiao even saw a player carrying a flat shoulder and walking the streets and alleys to sell breakfast.
I don't know what these players think, many players are still happy to do it, and in the morning, looking up, most of them are players who don't need to sleep.
Fang Xiaoxiao was very repulsive to the player, swept his cold eyes, and then fell on the NPC who got up early.
It's an NPC who sweeps the streets.,Get up early.,People are still a little lazy.,There's also some sweeping the floor.。
"This uncle, I want to ask you something. I don't know if you know a person, there is an old cow at home, a cart puller, a child at home, and his health is not good. ”
The uncle who swept the street listened to Fang Xiaoxiao's description, but immediately gave an answer.
"You're talking about the old man, what are you looking for him?"
"I want to buy his cattle and want to come and see them."
"Ouch, that cow is so old, and there are still people who buy it. Let's go and see it. You, go along this road, go to the end, turn right, continue to walk forward, and then look to the right, the first alley walks in, and a persimmon tree is planted in the yard is their house. ”
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
The uncle waved his hand and continued to sweep his floor for a while.
Fang Xiaoxiao walked according to the uncle's description, turned into the first alley, and walked a long way in before he saw a yard with trees planted.
She didn't know the persimmon tree, but looking at it, it seemed that this was the only one that had trees planted in the yard.
The family woke up early, and when Fang Xiaoxiao arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he could hear the sound of getting up and walking around in the courtyard.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door, and the people inside responded.
"Here, who's so early."
The door was opened by a gray-haired, but very tough old man.
The old man opened the door and found a little girl he had never seen before, and he was a little stunned.
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
"You are Uncle Zhuang, I am a villager of Maixiang Village."
"Oh, I'm surnamed Zhuang, do you have anything to do with me?"
"That's right, Uncle Zhuang, I want to buy your cattle."
“……”
Uncle Zhuang didn't expect this to happen, he was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and finally let go.
"Then you come in first, let's come in."
Fang Xiaoxiao raised his feet and entered the door, and what he saw was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.
Different from the brand-new and elaborate of Maixiang Village, the owner of this yard obviously has no time to take care of it, not only the weeds in the yard grow piece by piece, but some utensils are also randomly placed in the yard, so it looks a little messy.
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't look too much, and was led into the house by the old man, sitting on a somewhat old chair.
The house was a little empty, and there were traces of furniture on the floor, but now, the furniture was gone, and it seemed that this house was indeed in some difficulty.
The old man went into the house and poured Fang Xiaoxiao a glass of warm water, and then sat opposite Fang Xiaoxiao, and asked straight to the point.
"How much money are you going to pay?"
"Fifty taels."
Once again, the old man was stunned by Fang Xiaoxiao.
Fifty taels, which is almost double the price of a cow on the market.
Of course, the market price is the market price, and the cattle are priceless, and the real transaction price has nothing to do with the market price, but the people buy cattle in their prime, which is different from the old cows of the old man's family.
The old man's cow is really old, and he doesn't know when he will have to turn his back on it, so the old man is also hesitant about it.
It's impossible to say that this price is not exciting, but if you are tempted, let him pit a little girl, he still can't do it.
So, he hesitated for a moment, but still said.
"My cow is very old, and I can't tell when I'm going to die."
"It's okay, to tell you the truth, I bought the cow to pay tribute, the old cow is just right, if it is a young and strong cow, I am not easy to kill. This price is also what I wanted, so I heard that you have one. ”
The old man heard that it was used as a tribute, and although he felt sorry for his old cow, he nodded in the end.
"Come on, then you and I can go and see the cow."
The old man took Fang Xiaoxiao to see the cow, but he didn't want to, and before the two of them got up, a thin figure rushed out of the house.
"Grandpa, grandpa, we don't sell cattle, don't sell it."
The little boy tugged at the old man's sleeve and didn't let go, his eyes full of pleading.
The old man was also reluctant to work hard at his own old cow, but looking at the little boy's dry and thin little face, he finally gritted his teeth.
"No, An An, you go back to the house, don't get involved in this matter."
"No, grandpa, we don't sell cows, we don't sell them!"
The little boy named An An finally cried, crying very sadly, and it could be seen that he had feelings for this old cow.
As soon as An An cried, the old man's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
The family is having a hard time, and the old man is old, even if he is physically tough, he can't do any work, so he can only earn some money by pulling.
Usually accompanied by his own old cow, back, the old cow is also taken care of by the old man, from time to time and it chatters, to say that there is no emotion, it is impossible.
However, I know that the old cow really can't live long, it's too old, it's either today or tomorrow, it's not this year or next year.
Once the old cow died, the family lost their source of livelihood, and at that time, even if the dead cow was sold, it would never be sold at the current price.
