Volume 1 Chapter 61 Buying a Cow
"Big brother, have you got everything? We're going to go. After the housewarming banquet, it was the day when Qiao Song returned to the county to study, and it was also the day when Qiao Xi handed over the embroidery, just in time for the little brother Xiu Mu, and the three of them went to the county seat together. Before leaving the door, Qiao Xi confirmed again.
"Bring it all, bring it all." Qiao Song walked out of his house with his schoolbag.
When the three brothers and sisters arrived at the gate, Lily had already stopped there in a carriage and waited for them. This time I went to the county seat, and only Furong and Lily were accompanied, and the other three stayed behind to take care of the fields and the family.
When she arrived at the county seat, Qiao Xi first sent her eldest brother to the county school, handed him some snacks she prepared for him, and relieved his usual cravings.
The food in the school will not taste good, because he has to cater to the taste of the public, and it is good to be full.
Her eldest brother stayed in the county school for half a month, and he couldn't improve the food, so he could only use his own little brains to prepare some small snacks for him.
Saying goodbye to the eldest brother, they went directly to the Ruyi Workshop, and handed over the embroidery to the second son, a total of one hundred taels, and now there are more and more people buying her embroidery, and many people are waiting in line to ask for it, and it is also a kind of face to take it out.
There will always be comparisons between people, and women's comparisons are nothing more than appearances, jewelry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., if you can win one of the opponents in your heart, you can be happy for several days.
When I left Ruyifang, I happened to see a group of people dressed very differently from them leading two cows past them, looking at their dress very much like the minority of the Celestial Empire, where people like them seem to be called barbarians.
Cows, this is a good thing, she was planning to open a shop, and she was worried about what kind of shop to open, cows produce milk, and milk can make a lot of delicious things.
It is very popular in the Celestial Dessert House, very popular with young people, she can open a dessert house, buy all kinds of desserts, pastries and special juices that are not available here.
"Furong, you take the little boy and wait for Lily, and I'll chase those people." I finally ran into it, but I can't miss it, and I don't know when I'll wait until next time.
"Sister, wait ......" Qiao Bai's words hadn't been counted yet, and there was still Qiao Xi in front of him.
"Little boy, don't worry, let's wait for Lily, we will be able to catch up with the girl soon." Fleur comforted on the side.
Qiao Xi ran fast, caught up with those people after a while, and asked breathlessly, "That, do you want to sell this cow?" ”
The four people in strange costumes looked at Qiao Xi who suddenly appeared, they were stunned for a moment, and then when they heard her question, they nodded fiercely, "Sell, sell, do you want to buy it?" A man with a beard, a rough body, and a tall man said simply.
The four of them went all the way, and many people avoided them like snakes and scorpions, and they didn't want to talk to them, and they looked disgusted.
They brought five cows out, two died on the way, and now there are only three left, if they can't get the money, it will be a problem for them to go home, and now that he finally knows the goods, how can he not be excited.
"How do you sell your cow?" If it's too expensive, she'll buy at most one.
"If you want the girl, I'll sell it to you cheaper, twenty taels and one head, what do you think?" There's no way, no one has been interested, and she can only go down this price, twenty taels is already the lowest price, no matter how cheap they are, this trip is equivalent to nothing, and it has been posted a lot.
Twenty taels and one heads, three heads and sixty taels, it is really cheap, she can make a lot of delicious things with the milk produced by these three cows, and she will definitely make a lot of money when she sells them, "Then I bought all three cows." ”
"Girl, did you really buy them all?" The bearded man's eyes widened in surprise and he reconfirmed.
"Bought them all." He took out the silver taels from his bosom and handed them over.
"The girl is refreshing. God will bless you. The bearded man took the silver tael, tapped it twice on his chest, and said words of blessing in his mouth.
When Qiao Bai came to Qiao Xi in the carriage, the bearded man had already walked away with the others, leaving behind the three flower-striped cows.
Qiao Bai got out of the carriage, ran to the cow's side with great interest, looked left and right around the spotted cow, and boldly touched its big belly and short horns, feeling so strange, "Sister, it's the first time I've seen this kind of spotted cow, how can a cow look like this?" ”
Qiao Xi smiled gently, and told him calmly, "That's a cow, a cow that specializes in producing milk." ”
"Aren't cows that produce milk and cows used to plough the land, how can there be cows that produce milk, and aren't all sheep who produce milk?" Qiao Bai was very puzzled, and there were cows that produced milk, so strange.
You can't blame Qiao Bai for understanding it this way, it is rare to see such a cow in Daqian, goat milk is more common, some children are born without milk to drink, and the wealthy family will buy a milk-producing sheep to go back, and the milk it produces is just for the child to eat.
Only the super wealthy families, such as landlords, or those dignitaries, they dislike goat's milk has a smell, and the feeding children will also have a smell, they will find a good nurse in advance, the child is born without worrying about no milk to drink, here, the child is closer to the nurse, and his mother has some life.
As for the poor families, when the mother has no milk, she can only be fed with rice soup or rice paste, and goat's milk is also a rare thing in the poor family, probably only limited to hearing about it.
"That's because we don't see much of it, and the milk from this cow is very nutritious, and children and adults can drink it. And you can use it to cook a lot of food. "A lot of desserts are made with milk, so she can come whatever she wants, and God is really good to her.
"Really? Won't taste? "I heard that the taste of goat's milk is particularly bad, and the milk produced by this cow has no taste? My sister lied to people.
"Of course not. When the cow has given milk, my sister will make something delicious for you to eat, and then you will come back and tell your sister, does it taste good? "No matter how much you say, it's better to make things, and this explanation is the most convincing, and you don't have to spend too much time talking.
And they are now in the stage of growing their bodies, although there was no shortage before, but in the end they still ate simply, although they have raised some well, but they still have to continue to supplement, this milk is the best supplement.
"Hmm." Seeing that his sister was so sure, Qiao Bai began to believe it in his heart.
"Girl, how are you going to bring this cow back?" They just have a carriage, and they can't fit it in a carriage.
"I'll take them back with me, you can go back with Qiao Bai first." Qiao Xi thought about it and decided to take the cow by herself, and let Furong and Lily take her younger brother first.
"Girl, I'll come, you go back with the little boy in the carriage." How could she let the girl walk back to Qiaojia Village alone, the road was so far, if there was a case on the road, who would she cry to.
"In this way, you and I will lead the cow back together, and let Lily take Qiao Bai back first."
"Sister, I'm with you."
"Don't join in the fun, go to the carriage, go back with Lily first, I'll be back before dark." Besides, Fleur isn't here, it's fine. "I can't go home after dark.
"Alright then, Sister Fleur, sister will leave it to you."
"Yes, boy."
"Let's go, don't delay my sister's time." Qiao Xi urged him to get into the car quickly.
Qiao Bai was reluctant, climbed into the carriage slowly, and waved goodbye to Qiao Xi and Furong at the window.
"Fleur, you watch these cows here first, and I'll go buy something to eat, so as not to be hungry on the road and have nothing to eat."
"Yes, girl."
Qiao Xi bought some food, and the two of them drove the cow towards Linshui Town with Furong.
The two of them finally arrived before dark, and caused a sensation as they passed through the entrance of the village.
A few people who were more familiar with Qiao Xi saw her coming back with a spotted cow, and they were very curious, this kind of cow didn't look like it could be used to plow the land, and asked, "Miss Xi, what are you buying such a cow for?" ”
"It's Aunt Niu, this is a cow, a cow that specializes in milk, it produces milk for all ages, and it is the best for children who are growing up." Qiao Xi said with a smile.
"Oh, it's so powerful, it cost a lot of money." It turns out that this cow is so expensive, and she is the only one who is willing to spend this money.
"It's okay, is there anything else with my aunt? I haven't eaten dinner yet. After Qiao Xi answered Aunt Niu's words, she proposed to go home for dinner.
"It's okay, it's okay, go back, go back." Originally, she wanted to ask some, but when she heard Qiao Xi say that she hadn't eaten dinner yet, she didn't ask anymore and asked people to go back.
"Sister, Sister Fleur, you're finally back." When Qiao Bai saw his sister's figure, he rushed over directly.
"Didn't I say I'd be back before dark, I'm not going to come back." Qiao Xi said funny.
"I'm not worried. Where is this cow going to be kept? ”
"The house we lived in was just right for them." I was thinking about demolishing the old house, but after thinking about it, I decided to leave it for the time being, and now it's just right for these three cows to live.
"Then how should they be fed, sister knows what they eat?"
"It's no different from oxen plowing the fields, except they don't plow the milk. Little brother, let Narcissus prepare the food first, but my sister is hungry. He asked again, when would she be able to eat dinner, she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.
"Ah...... I forgot, I'll go. Qiao Bai scratched his head embarrassedly and ran to find Narcissus.
After settling the cows, Qiao Xi returned to the hall, the food had been placed on the table, looking at the dishes on the table, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, beckoned Furong to sit down, and directly picked up the chopsticks on the table and ate quickly.
Soon a bowl of rice was in my stomach, and I squinted my eyes comfortably, and then slowed down my meal.
