The next day, Shen Yuerong took the thirty catties of wolfberries that had already picked out bad fruits and went to the town.

Aunt Sun and Aunt Qian continued to pick wolfberries in the wine shop today, and they also had to look at the wine jar.

Shen Yuerong went to the town alone for the first time.

Thirty catties of wolfberries can make her tired enough, walk along the way and rest, and it took more than an hour to get to the medicine shop.

"Shopkeeper, this is the last batch of wolfberries this year, the fruit has fallen, I have to wait for next year to pick again, if it is really not enough, you look for me when you come back, and I will give you the evenness of the winery."

The shopkeeper happily took it, weighed and paid Shen Yuerong, thirty catties, and Shen Yuerong got seven hundred and fifty Wen.

Shen Yuerong went to the backyard to say hello to Li Shi, and left in a hurry.

She went to buy a new lock first, but it still cost fifty yuan.

This money can't be saved, go back and hang the smashed lock that can still be used in the room, this new lock in the hut in the winery.

After buying the lock, Shen Yuerong hurriedly went to the market and inquired about many people before finding a place to sell cattle.

An old man led two adult cows and a few calves for sale.

There were a few people around the side who were observing the cows in detail.

The cow seller has one hand tucked up in his sleeve, waiting for the customer.

From time to time, I saw someone put his hand into the sleeve of the cow seller's shirt, and the two hands were pinching it inside, and the cow seller's face was sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking his head.

A man not only shook his head, but also jumped his feet in a hurry, and the jumping guest was pulled by the woman who was traveling with him to give up his position.

After the woman's hand reached in, she pinched it for a while, and the cow seller nodded with a smile, and the jumping man also laughed.

Then the two of them turned their backs to everyone, one paid, the other received the money, and the man who was still jumping just now happily led an adult strong ox away.

Shen Yuerong looked a little blind, what kind of situation is this?

How is this like a pantomime, without speaking, just pinching and pinching the deal with it?

You have to turn your back on everyone when you pay, why is it so mysterious.

Shen Yuerong hurriedly stepped forward, stopped the eldest brother and sister-in-law who bought the cow, and smiled flatteringly: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law, how much did you buy this cow?" ”

I saw the eldest brother snort, disdainfully left a sentence and left: "There are no rules, what are you asking?" ”

Shen Yuerong looked at the back of Brother Niu, and was even more confused!

I don't know how to bargain, I don't know how to buy this money, I don't know how to buy cattle?

Shen Yuerong thought about it for a while, walked to the steamed bun shop next to it, bought two meat buns, and handed them four copper plates to the lady who sold the buns.

Shen Yuerong bought the steamed buns, and asked the lady who sold the steamed buns with a smile: "Auntie, I see that they sell cattle and buy cows and pinch them with their hands is fun enough, just now a man's mother-in-law pinched and pinched with others, not only was he not angry, but he also smiled, what does this mean?" ”

The lady who sells steamed buns happens to be not busy, and it is interesting to see Shen Yuerong talking well, and she just patronized herself, so she talked to Shen Yuerong.

"That's called pinching the yard, although it is said that men and women are guarded against, but the pinching yard is not guarded, and the business with relatively large silver money is pinched the yard, in case there are people with bad intentions, it is just to do business and negotiate a price."

Shen Yuerong understood a little at this time, but she was more curious about pinching the yard, she said to the eldest lady with a smile on her face: "Auntie, can you tell me how to pinch the yard?" ”

The lady who sold steamed buns saw that there was no business now, so she began to show Shen Yuerong in detail and said: "If you want to buy, stretch your sleeves on which thing, one stretches your thumb, two stretches your index finger and middle finger, three stretches your index finger, middle finger and ring finger, four stretches your index finger, middle finger ring finger and little finger, five fingers are fully extended, six is thumb and little finger, seven is thumb and middle finger pinched together, eight thumb and index finger are stretched, nine is index finger hooked, and ten are clenched into a fist." To shake your head is to disagree, and to nod your head is to agree. ”

Only then did Shen Yuerong understand that it was not difficult at all, that is, to use his fingers to indicate the amount, and the two of them bargained with each other in their sleeves, as long as they remembered what the gesture represented, there would be no difficulty.

She quickly thanked the lady who sold the buns and went to the stall selling cattle again.

There are still many people who buy cattle, and many people come forward to bargain, but there are not many people who buy them, and it seems that the selling price is not cheap.

There is only one full-grown bull left, and four calves left.

Shen Yuerong only planned to buy a calf today, so she was not in such a hurry, she planned to choose it first.

These little calves are all smooth hair, have bright eyes, good fat, and look good.

Shen Yuerong touched the hair with her hand, and one of them felt a little abnormal in body temperature, and the others were fine.

Shen Yuerong waited patiently on the side, and when it was almost noon, there were few people in the crowd, and there were only two calves left, and the big cow was still there.

Shen Yuerong looked at the big cow and really wanted to buy it, and if he bought it back, he could directly cultivate the land, and Shen Dashan could also be a little easier.

The big cow's whole body was black satin-like and smooth, and its big eyes looked at people, and as soon as it walked, the flesh on its body trembled, as if every piece of muscle was wrapped in a force, and it looked like a good hand at plowing the land.

Shen Yuerong really liked it, but it was a pity that she still forgot about the money in her purse.

If you buy a calf and raise it for two years, you will definitely grow so well.

Shen Yuerong reached into the cow seller's sleeve and pulled it over the calf that was not hot.

Shen Yuerong tentatively stretched out his index finger and middle finger first, the cattle seller instantly frowned, shook his head, and the cattle seller stretched out his index finger, middle finger, ring finger.

This is three taels, it's really expensive, such a small calf costs three taels, and no matter how much you bargain, it will exceed the budget.

Shen Yuerong took away her hand and didn't go away, squatting down to observe the hot-haired cow.

Although the cow was a little feverish and looked lacking in energy, there was no problem with its hair, eyes, and body.

Maybe it's just a normal fever, maybe just go back and take a cool shower.

Shen Yuerong thought about it and went to pull the cow seller's sleeve over again, this time on the hot calf.

Shen Yuerong still stretched out his index finger and middle finger, and the cattle seller wanted to refuse directly, but suddenly remembered that there was something wrong with this cow, and he had no energy when he went out in the morning, and maybe he wouldn't be able to go home at night, so if someone bought it, he would sell it quickly, so he added a hanging of money to his sleeve.

Shen Yuerong didn't hesitate to buy it.

I saved almost a tael of silver, and I could buy as many delicious things as I could.

Shen Yuerong took the calf and left excitedly.

At noon, she was afraid that the feverish calf would not be able to walk so far, so she carried the calf to the shade of the tree and admired it carefully.

The two eyes of this ox were as big as brass bells, and the two curved horns were green and transparent, especially the yellow hair, which was as bright as silk.

It seems that the spirit is worse now, and when you recover your spirit and take care of it, you will definitely be a good worker in the future.

Waiting for the sun to set in the west, Shen Yuerong took the calf back home, and along the way she was afraid that the calf would be tired, so she hugged it all the way.

When she got home, she couldn't wait to fetch some warm water and scrub the calf.

The hot calf was very comfortable with this warm bath, and it shouted: "Moo~"

Shen Yuerong looked at the little calf that was a little energetic, smiling happily, and under the reflection of the setting sun, her face was extraordinarily radiant.
