Chapter 36: The Green Ox

Home-grown soybeans are ground into soy milk, boiled and pressed to make tofu brain. The tofu brain made by Yu Niang has no bubbles, and the snow-white and delicate tofu brain is like inner fat tofu.

Su Lingyu stood on the bench, scooped out the tender tofu brain with a wooden spoon, and set it aside. Wash the fungus that Su Zhong picked up, shampoo and wash it clean.

Su Zhang and Su Li went to the village, bought ten pairs of chickens and returned home, put the chickens into the chicken coop, and then put a basin of water.

Su Li was weak, and sat down on the table, "San'er, what are you going to eat?" Tofu is not saved for the evening? ”

"Yes."

Su Lingyu is young, and the next work is left to her mother. Leaning on the small window, I watched my mother put the chopped fungus in the pot and fry it, and then I saw my mother boiling the sugar into sugar water.

Seeing that the sugar water was coming up, Su Lingyu hurriedly went over with a small bowl, and handed it to his mother with a small bowl in his short hand. Su Li poured sugar water on the hot tofu brain, sprinkled with chopped and fried fungus.

"You can't take it, let me come." Su Zhang helped her deliver it to the table.

Su Lingyu held a small spoon in his hand, followed behind his mother in small steps, and looked at the tile bowl with his eyes.

Climb up to the bench, kneel on the bench, stir the tofu brain with a small spoon, and mix the fungus with the syrup thoroughly.

Su Zhong and his father went into the city to treat the Wang family's brother, went home under the sun, and watched his sister eat tofu brain, "Mother, is there still a kitchen?" ”

"Yes, a lot."

Su Zhong followed his mother into the kitchen, first sent a bowl to his grandmother, and devoured the big bowl himself.

"The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law still have it, will you give the uncle a bowl?" Lao Li Tou looked at the little baby and ate fragrantly, and begged for a bowl to taste.

This taste is amazing, the tofu brain is white and soft, fragrant and delicious; The mountain fungus is crisp and refreshing, chewing strong, and then mixed with sugar water. The mouth is full of flavor and deliciousness.

"Tofu brains are like young girls, and old tofu is like half-old beauties." Old man Li said with a smile.

Su Chengqi washed his hands before he wanted to say something, and found that something was wrong with the buffalo, "The buffalo is about to give birth." He took the bowl handed over by the lady, and drank the tofu brain with the bowl, but his eyes were staring at the buffalo.

It was very difficult for a buffalo to give birth to this litter, and his eyes were red when he held his breath, and his eyes were full of tears. Su Chengqi and Old Man Li walked into the cattle pen to assist in buffalo production.

Everyone gathered around to watch, and Su Lingyu was no exception, it was the first time she had watched a buffalo give birth. She stood on the periphery with a small bowl, scooping tofu brains and stuffing them into her mouth, while sticking out her head to look in, very curious.

"It's out."

"If the foot comes out first, it will be difficult to give birth, so stuff the foot back."

After a while, the calf was pushed out again, this time by the head. Su Chengqi was relieved.

Soon the calf was born, and the newborn calf scared Su Chengqi and the experienced old Li Tou.

"Hey, this calf is different, isn't it?"

Su Li clasped his hands together and worshiped God, "This is a blessing!" ”

Lao Li pulled Su Chengqi tightly, "Big nephew, are we in the best relationship?" ”

"Sell this cow to me, and the price is whatever you want."

"This ...... This, I think about it. Su Chengqi couldn't speak, and when he went to cut the umbilical cord, his hands trembled and he didn't dare to move.

If it was another calf, he would cut the umbilical cord in three or two strokes, but this one was different, and he had to be careful and careful.

Her vision was blocked, and she shifted her position to look at the newborn calf.

The calf struggled to get up, the leg bones were not hard, the forelimbs were on the ground, and the hind limbs arched and fell. After the hind limbs supported the ground, he stumbled a few steps, his forelimbs became weak, and he fell down again. After three or four attempts, the calf finally stood up, and the calf with the mucous membranes came to the cow, and the cow licked its mucous membranes.

The licking of the dry place reveals the skin color of the calf, which is different from most blue-black and dark green, the color of this cow is blueish and greenish, not azure, but brighter than cyan.

The green ox is Lao Jun's mount, which only appears in the mouth of the storyteller, and it is rare to see it in reality. Now that he has appeared in the world, it really frightens everyone.

The calf feeds the cow for food, but the cow keeps lying on her stomach and slowly closes her eyelids.

By the time Su Chengqi found out, the cow was no longer dead.

"It's its fate."

"It is a blessing for the green ox to be born through its belly."

"The small ones didn't eat, and the big ones died, what can I do?" Su Zhang asked.

"This cow is dead, and it has to be reported to the government. Is this cow slaughtered? ”

"Find a place to bury it. It gave birth to a green ox, and it was afraid of being sinned if it ate it. ”

…………

"Slaughtering cattle privately is a prison sentence, Su Chengqi, I think you won't go back today."

Su Chengqi flipped his hand and pulled back his sleeve, "Niu catches the head, you will know if it is a private slaughter." ”

Since the parting of ways with Niu Guan, Su Chengqi has devoted himself to doing things for Lao Li Tou and brought a lot of business to Lao Li Tou.

The bull pipe snorted at him even more, hating to drive him away. Su Chengqi was also not polite to the cow catcher.

"I've heard of people dying of disease, old age, broken legs, and I really haven't heard of giving birth to calves and dying."

"That's because you don't know much." Su Chengqi said sarcastically, and when he saw the master of the bookkeeper coming out, he trotted forward and nodded. "Hello adults, good health."

Zhang Ming, the master of the book, looked at Su Chengqi without a trace, "What you said is true." ”

"It's true, adults might as well go and take a look with the grass people."

If it's really a green cow, you might as well take a look.

"Lead the way."

"Yes, yes. Adult, please. ”

After this battle, the people of the entire Liangguan City knew that there was a green cow in Dongquan Village. Because the green cow was born, the cow died.

People use this to make up stories, saying that the green cow went down to the earth to go through calamities, and took the cow to take care of his life, and the cow died because of the poor fortune and could not stand the blessing.

Some people say that the status of the green cow is high, and the status of the cow is low, and they can't stand the respect of the green cow, so they take the initiative to ask for death.

What's even more absurd is that they say that green cows can drink water and eat grass as soon as they are born, and they don't need to be fed by cows, so there is no need for cows to survive.

All kinds of stories are born to win attention, in exchange for one or two copper plates, and the truth is not enough to refute.

The actual cow is weak, and if it were not nourished by the spiritual spring, it may not have survived to this point. If it is raised for two more months, the cow does not have to die due to detachment.

The existence of the little green cow made the Su family like a city, and people from all over the country came to watch, and even had the intention of touching the calf at night.

If it weren't for the donkey's vigilance and kicking over several people, the calf would not have been able to hold it.

"If you are guilty, it will only be worse if you keep it in your hands, so it is better to ask the master to take the green cow away."

Zhang Ming was thinking about offering the green cow, and Su Chengqi took the initiative to save him from embarrassment. Zhang Ming looked at Su Chengqi a few points.

"Well, since you said so, I'll take it back to the mansion." Zhang Ming said, "It's not okay to take you for nothing, so if you say a price, you will treat this cow as if I bought it." ”

"This cow is not an ordinary cow, since the adults want it, fifty taels of silver is enough."

Fifty taels!

The people on the side were frightened by Su Chengqi's big mouth, and some people secretly laughed that Su Chengqi was ignorant, and it was too late to please the master bookkeeper, so he dared to open his mouth.
