Chapter 122: The Little Calf
122 calves
Pushing open the door, a foul smell came to his face, Wei Gospel wrinkled his nose and used his hand to disperse the air around him.
The sun was shining outside, entering the dark room, everyone was a little dazzled, closed their eyes, and slowly opened after a while, the layout of the room could not be more simple, there was a dilapidated wooden bed by the door, not so much a bed, but a wooden plank, the three legs under the wooden board were replaced with bricks, Wei Gospel touched it curiously, and the whole bed shook.
She was thinking about where the cowshed was, when she saw a behemoth standing in the deepest part of the house, the narrow room was divided into two parts by a large wooden box containing clothes, a simple wooden bed was placed in half near the door, and the other half of the space was reserved for this behemoth.
The big yellow cow noticed that someone was walking in, "moo" screamed, and slowly got up, although it was huge, but it was docile, let Wei Fuhai's hand pat it on its stomach, it blinked and blinked its big eyes, motionless, there was a cement trough in front of it, and the wheat straw in the trough was scattered, and it could be seen that it was eating, drinking, and lazing in this dark room, so the smell of the room was so heavy.
Wei Fuhai said: "It's not clear in the house, let's take the cow outside to take a look."
He untied the reins, the old ox meekly followed, walked out of the room, the whole picture of the behemoth was displayed in front of everyone, the skeleton of the big ox was very large, it was as skinny as its owner, the ribs around the belly were clearly visible, the four hooves and the fur near the belly were attached to the thick mud, Wei Fuhai glanced at Zhao Guangming and shook his head, that means that he is too thin, and he can't pick off two taels of meat when he peels the skin and cramps, and he is also an old cow, the cow is not easy to grow fat, and obviously cannot meet his requirements.
Wei Fuhai circled around the big yellow cow, patted its head, and said, "This cow is really peculiar, there is a pinch of white hair on the brain, but it is too thin."
Zhao Guangming also shook his head and said: "It's too thin, I can't produce much meat, I don't like to buy cows, there is no meat except bones."
The group was disappointed, thinking that it would be a fat and healthy bull, and Wei Gospel thought that it was far from it, she thought that all the cattle were as strong and mighty as Spanish bullfighting, and the big yellow cow in front of her was really nothing special except for the larger size, Wei Fuhai thought for a long time, although there were fewer cattle in his hometown, but such cattle could not be sold at a good price when he bought them back, and he would only lose them in his hands, and after thinking about it, everyone was going to leave.
The big scalper was watched by everyone for a while, touched and patted, and when he saw the group turn around to leave, he called a few times "moo", his eyes were lonely, and Wei Gospel turned around in frustration and waved goodbye to it.
At this moment, as if he heard a call, a "bleating" cry came from inside the house, and a calf of two or three months old came out, and saw the big yellow ox running straight over.
The crowd immediately stopped, interested in the calf.
Wei Fuhai walked over and said with satisfaction: "This little calf is good, how much is it."
The cattle breeder said: "If you want to buy a calf, you have to buy this big yellow cow as well."
Wei Fuhai walked up to Zhao Guangming, discussed for a moment, and said, "This cow is too old and thin, and it can't be sold for a good price if you buy it."
Wei Gospel and Wei Siguo saw such a novel object for the first time, they were very happy, and circled around the calf, wanting to reach out and touch it, the calf was frightened and hid under the body of the big yellow cow, Wei Gospel pointed to its head and said in surprise: "Look, it also has a pinch of white hair on its head like its mother, which is really interesting."
Wei Siguo stretched out his hand and patted the cow's belly, combing its fur, the cow's stomach made an echo of "dong dong", Wei Gospel put his ears on it, and after a while, said: "Think about it, you listen, there is the sound of running water in its belly, it is said that the cow is full of treasures, why is it so obedient, I don't know if we will ride it."
Wei Siguo really wanted to ride on the back of the cow and try it, but was stopped by Wei Gospel immediately.
Over there, Wei Fuhai and Zhao Guangming discussed for a while, hesitating, Wei Fuhai liked the calf, but looking at the cow's teeth, it was too old, and it was smashed in his hands when he bought it back, and now the cattle were scarce, Zhao Guangming put the decision in Wei Fuhai's hands.
Wei Fuhai is a person who has no opinions, he is shy in his pocket, he wants to play the role of returning to his hometown, but he still can't do the thing of slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, and he is always the one who suffers.
When he was hesitating, Wei Si said: "Dad, you see how obedient it is, I can't move no matter how I shoot, this cow has a fate with our family, so I bought it, I can't let their mother and son be separated."
Wei Fuhai hesitated for a while, seemed to be shaken, walked up to Zhao Guangming, put his mouth together with one hand, leaned over and muttered a few words in his ear, Zhao Guangming nodded, walked to the side of the cattle breeder, the two did not talk, nodded at each other, Zhao Guangming put his hand into the old man's sleeve, the two mysteriously gestured in the sleeve, Zhao Guangming gestured, the old man shook his head, the old man gestured, he shook his head again, the two did not speak, hand and eye contact, Wei Gospel and Wei Siguo looked dazed, Presumably they were exchanging prices for buying cattle.
In the end, the old man shook his head, no longer backed down, gestured in his sleeve, looked at Zhao Guangming with a firm look, Zhao Guangming shook his head, felt that the asking price was too high, retracted his arm, withdrew his hand from his sleeve, walked to Wei Fuhai's side, put his hand into Wei Fuhai's sleeve, and glanced at him, Wei Fuhai immediately frowned, the price was too high.
Looking at the expressions of the three of them, this business probably can't be negotiated, Wei Gospel and Wei Siguo glanced at each other, they like this little calf very much, and if the business can't be done, they can't help but feel disappointed, and say, "What should I do?"
