Chapter 206: Buying Cattle 2
Then Mu Xiu opened his mouth to see the cow's teeth, neat and wide, if the teeth are good, the cow is fast and clean when eating grass, and then Mu Xiu touched the cow's ears with his hands, the body temperature was normal, and then touched the nasal fluid, it was clear nasal fluid, and then looked at the nasal cavity and eyes, the mucous membranes were pink, the eyes were bright and moist, and finally Mu Xiu squatted down and looked at the cow's hooves, there was no redness, swelling and ulcers.
"Dad, just this cow." Mu Xiu pointed to the cow and said.
"I can't see it, this girl will still look at the cow." Qin Laosan looked at Mu Xiu in surprise, after all, cattle are rare, that is, they only started trading this year, and Mu Xiu's appearance in selecting cattle is very skilled.
"I'm a class with an axe." Mu Xiu was embarrassed.
"That's it, how much." Mu Shui's decision on Mu Xiu has always been in favor of raising his hands.
"This cow is the best one in this, and I don't want much, it's still the market price, six hundred yuan." Qin Laosan is also refreshing.
"Okay, deal." Mu Shui's psychological price is six hundred, Mu Xiu is speechless, Mu Shui doesn't even pay back?
In this way, Mu Shui took out 600 yuan, bought the cow, and continued to ride Dahua's ox cart and staggered home.
On the way back, the villagers looked at Mu Shui leading the cow, and asked curiously, when they learned that it was the newly bought cow of Mu Shui's family, there were envious eyes and voices everywhere, after all, they were catching up with the farming, there was a cow, and they could do a lot of work.
Back at home, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao Chen Xuhui looked around the cow, and their faces were full of excitement and happiness.
"Oh my God, we have a cow." Zhou Shuilian touched the cow, and her hands were trembling.
"With the oxen, the harvest is fast, and my father no longer has to carry the plow." Mu Xiaocao thought of the straw rope scar on Mu Shui's shoulder from years of labor.
"This cow can't be too tired, it's only an adult, it needs to eat and rest well." Mu Xiu admonished.
"You know, when we harvest the wheat, let it rest on the side." Chen Xuhui stretched out his hand and touched the bull's head.
"Divide the pigsty into two pieces and feed the cows on one side and the pigs on the other." The pigsty that Mu Xiu built at the beginning was relatively large, and now the two little pigs are still small and can't occupy such a large place.
"Okay, I'll get it." Mu Shui rolled up his sleeves, went to find wood, and began to make partitions.
"I'm here to help, too." Chen Xuhui followed.
"I'm going to cut some fresh grass." Mu Xiaocao took Li Pandi out with a basket on his back.
Mu Xiu looked at everyone's busy figure and smiled, the feeling of everyone working together made her have infinite love for this home.
Soon, the wheat is about to be harvested, although Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui only have one acre and three points of land, but the yield is amazing, each ear of wheat is heavy, the wheat stalks are bent, big and full, standing in the ground, the breeze blows, as if you can smell the fragrance of wheat.
Zhou Shuilian is still cooking at home and taking care of her children, and the rest of the people all go to the field to harvest wheat.
Five people, harvesting this little land, it only took two days, Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui carried the golden wheat and bundled it up, and put it neatly on the ox cart.
Although there is an ox cart, there is still a little distance from the edge of the field in the field, and the wheat is not heavy in a single bundle, and picking two bundles at a time is dozens of catties, but at the end of the day, it takes dozens of trips, and Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui have blood marks on the shoulders of carrying the burden, which looks shocking.
"You guys pick a little less at a time, and don't rush for a while." Mu Xiu distressed Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui's shoulders with medicine.
"What's this? Every year, get used to it. Mu Shui said with a smile.
"Later, it would be nice to make the road wider so that the ox carts could come in." Mu Xiu looked at the narrow field.
The harvested wheat is all pulled to the drying ground, which is a large open space in the village, and after the wheat is dried, it is necessary to beat the wheat, which is generally called the field, this kind of work can not be done by a family, it is his family to help others, and we also go to help when others play, no need to invite guests to eat, everyone helps each other.
Mu Xiu's family has little land, and the harvest is fast, so he has been going to dry the wheat a long time ago, and when Mu Xiu's family has made the wheat and finished raising the wheat, and some of the wheat at home has not been cut, Mu Xiu's family began to bag the packed wheat and pull it home.
Although Mu Xiu's land is small, the yield is good, other people's one acre of land, the harvest is 230 catties of grain, and Mu Xiu's one acre of land, but it is also more than 200 catties of grain, and even Chen Xuhui's third of the land has received 100 catties of grain.
This is also in Mu Xiu's expectations, because after calculation, the little grain allocated by his own family is not high, and the land has to be well maintained, calculated down, such two hundred catties of grain are basically the yield of half an acre of rented Sun Xingfu's family, which is already very good, and the yield of half an acre of other people's land on top of it, when the land is raised, it will definitely be doubled.
The land of the Mushui family, everyone knows, who would have expected such a land, the yield is not low, for a while, the Mushui family has become the focus again, everyone has come to ask, Mushui is naturally knowing, endless, but ...... He didn't know that these were all Mu Xiu's tricks.
Some people think that Mushui is lucky, maybe this place is not so bad, and some people think that Mushui is private, and they leave with a pout, thinking that Mushui is really not authentic...... Fortunately, Mu Shui didn't know, otherwise he would definitely feel wronged......
After harvesting the wheat, we began to cultivate the land and planted other crops.
Mu Shui's family originally had little land, but now there are cattle, so the land was quickly cleaned up, and when Mu Shui was plowing the soil, he suddenly heard a sound that made his back stiffen.
"Son, your cow is really good-looking, this oily and slippery, tsk, what a good cow!"
"Mother, what are you doing!" Mu Shui turned his head and said helplessly to Liu Yimei.
"I'm here to see if my son has a chance, and he has bought a cow, but pity us, we have to rely on our own hard work to plough the land, your eldest brother and Mu Sheng are already tired, if the family land is not cleaned up, then the rice will be delayed! You are eating and drinking spicy food now, but we are all about to drink the northwest wind! Mushui, what can I do! Liu Qimei said with a pitiful face.
Mu Shui glanced at Sister Liu, Sister Liu lost a lot of weight at the time of the spring harvest, and her waist was bent down, at this time she looked at Mu Shui with her eyes asking for help, and Mu Shui felt uncomfortable like last time.
