Cow's milk is a good thing! High nutrition, high protein and high calcium, in other words, Xiangling and they are growing their bodies, and they just need to supplement some dairy products.

Song Lingyue walked through the crowd and looked in the direction where she had just shouted.

Liu Liang was carrying the vegetables in his hand, afraid that too many people would squeeze into Song Lingyue, so he took two quick steps and opened his arms to help Song Lingyue open the way.

Song Lingyue quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd, only to see that surrounded by the crowd was a cow with black and white flowers on its head.

The cow had a nose ring with reins tied to it, and its hair was so clean that it was clear that it had been carefully cared for by its owner.

The reins were held in the hands of a young man about ten years old, who looked a little thin, dressed in coarse cloth, and clutched the reins nervously, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch his big cow.

The barrel at the boy's feet was filled with a whole bucket of milk. The milky white milk exuded a rich milky flavor in the air, which made Song Lingyue, who had not drunk milk for a long time, have the urge to salivate.

"Fresh milk, squeezed and drunk! Do you want to buy milk? The boy shouted, carrying a wooden sign on his chest that read a hundred dollars for a bucket of milk.

The barrel at the young man's feet is not very large, and it is estimated that it is only about two or three liters, and a hundred dollars seems to be too expensive for such a capacity.

It was precisely because of this that the boy shouted for a long time, and no one came to buy a barrel.

"Did you squeeze this milk out of the cow? Don't use other milk to fool people. ”

I don't know who in the crowd said that.

"Of course, this is the milk I squeezed out myself! It's fresh and delicious! The boy held his chest high, and he was obviously very confident in his milk.

"Then you're going to squeeze some milk for us?" I haven't seen milking cows yet. ”

I don't know who mentioned this, and the crowd followed suit, saying that they wanted to see this young man milking cows.

The black-and-white cow didn't know if it was because of the crowd, which made it a little anxious, and kept digging the ground with its hooves restlessly, and mooing from time to time.

The young man hurriedly stepped forward to soothe the cow, and kept patting its back, trying to calm the cows: "Big flower, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. ”

"Squeeze or not? Without milking we're gone. The crowd grew louder and louder.

The boy scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, the cow Dahua'er was already very nervous, and it was even more difficult to milk the cow at this time.

Song Lingyue saw that the young man was embarrassed, so she stepped forward and said, "Your bucket of milk is a hundred yuan, right?" ”

As soon as the young man heard that the patron was coming, he hurriedly replied, "Yes! A barrel of 100 dollars, no two prices! ”

"So, how many barrels do you have a day?" Song Lingyue asked again.

The boy scratched his ears: "This ...... The pastures on the outskirts of the city are not fertile enough, and a cow can produce up to three barrels a day. ”

Alas, Song Lingyue sighed, a cow can produce three barrels of milk, or such a small barrel, compared to modern cows, the milk production is much lower.

"Do you buy it? It's fresh, I just squeezed it. The young man suddenly became nervous when he heard Song Lingyue's sigh, for fear of losing the only customer so far.

"I bought it, and I want this bucket." Song Lingyue thought about it, it was rare to meet a cow milk seller, and she didn't know when she would have to wait until she met next time.

"Really?" The young man was immediately overjoyed, and stretched out his hands to ask Song Lingyue for silver: "One hundred big money, I want cash, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

Song Lingyue touched her purse and counted that there were only thirty big coins in it, and she had already spent a lot of money just now to buy shrimp.

Song Lingyue was very embarrassed: "I only have thirty big money left, otherwise, I will give you thirty dollars first, you take the milk and cows with me for a trip, and I will give you the rest of the money?" ”

"This ......" The young man hesitated for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether he should go back with Song Lingyue to get the money, or not buy this one, and wait for the buyer who could directly take out a hundred dollars to come out and buy this bucket of milk directly.

"My house is in the nearby Shuangcha Lane, very close. I also sincerely want to buy your milk, and as you can see, my friend and I have already bought a lot of things, and now we really don't have any extra money in our hands. Song Lingyue pulled Liu Liang out of the crowd and let the young man see clearly what Liu Liang was carrying in his hand.

The young man thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go to your house with you, and say okay, a hundred big money, you can't lie to me." ”

On the way, Song Lingyue asked the boy's name clearly, and he said that his name was Lu Li, from Shanghechun, because his mother was seriously ill, so he thought of coming out to sell milk.

Before Song Lingyue came to buy it, several people asked Lu Li to buy milk, but the other party put forward the hope that Lu Li could sell the cow to them.

Lu Li said that he didn't want to say anything, this cow is the life of Lu Li's family. The family is waiting for it to make money.

"I see." Song Lingyue nodded thoughtfully, "It turns out that you came to the market to buy milk to help your family supplement your family?" ”

"yes. My father went to join the army, and my mother took care of the whole family, but I didn't expect my mother to suddenly get sick, and she was very sick.

"I heard from the people in the village that there is an excellent Langzhong in the northern city of Hebei who can treat my mother's illness. I went to Lang Zhong, but Lang Zhong from the generalist pharmacy said that my mother's illness was very serious and she needed to go to the doctor, and the visit fee would cost one or two silver, and there was no other money. I didn't have that much money, so I thought about selling Dahua'er's milk. ”

Saying this, Lu Li touched Big Flower's hairy head, and Big Flower arched forward and stuck out her tongue. Licking the corners of the little master's eyes, I probably felt that the little master was about to cry.

"The big flower gave birth to a calf! The calves have no milk to drink, only some rice cereal, and they are barely hungry. Lu Li raised his sleeve and covered his eyes, not wanting the two people next to him to see the tears rolling in his eyes.

"But it's useless for me, I've been buying it for a long time, but I can't sell the milk of the big flowers......" The more he spoke, the deeper his voice became.

Song Lingyue and Liu Liang glanced at each other.

Song Lingyue smiled gently: "Haven't you already sold it now?" When I get to my house, I will give you the rest of the money immediately, and I will not treat you badly. ”

"Lu Li, come in, drive the big flowers in, the yard is very big." Song Lingyue beckoned Lu Li and the cow Dahuaer into the house.

Liu Liang went straight to the kitchen with the ingredients.

Lu Li was a little cramped and hugged Da Hua'er's neck, "Sister, your family is so big." ”

"It's okay." Song Lingyue looked around, this small yard has been maintained for more than half a year and is already more humane than when she bought it.

"Moo." The big flowers were restlessly digging the bluestone slabs, making a tuk-tok sound.

Lu Li hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Da Hua'er's neck, "Da Hua'er, be quiet, we're in someone else's house." ”

"Isn't Big Flower hungry? Didn't you say that you walked for two or three hours to get to the city? Song Lingyue looked at the big flowers and seemed to have a tendency to go to the small vegetable garden, if it weren't for Lu Li to stop the reins, I was afraid that the big flowers would be feasting in the small vegetable garden at this time.

Song Lingyue hurriedly plucked some pumpkin vines and sweet potato leaves from the garden, "Can you eat these big flowers?" Let it be paddled mat. ”

Lu Li identified it, made sure that it was not something poisonous, and put the sweet potato leaves and pumpkin vines under the nose of the big flower, and the big flower mooed and began to eat the sweet potato leaves on the ground.

"Sister, was there a cow barking just now?" The door of the study was pushed open, and Song Yanzhi poked out a small brain melon from inside.

At first glance, I saw the big black and white cow in the yard eating sweet potato leaves, but Song Yanzhi was scared, and when he closed the door with a bang, he thought he was hallucinating.

After a while, Song Yanzhi pushed open the door again, stretched his neck longer, and blinked: "Cow!" It's really a cow! ”

Song Yanyi trotted to Da Hua'er, looked left and right around Da Hua'er, "Sister! This cow is different from what I saw at the village chief's house before, the village chief's house is a big yellow cow, but this one is black and white, so it's fun. ”

Song Yanzhi said that he was about to reach out and touch the big flowers.

"Don't touch! Big flowers don't like to be touched by strangers! Lu Li suddenly stopped him, startling Song Yanzhi.

The big cow is huge, Lu Li is thin and small, Lu Li can't be seen from Song Yanzhi's point of view, and an unfamiliar voice appeared in the cold yard, Song Yanzhi thought it was the black and white big cow in front of him talking.

"Oh my god! The bull has spoken! Song Yanzhi was frightened and screamed.

Song Lingyue snorted and was happy: "In other words, you go around and take a look to see if the cow is talking." ”

Hearing Song Lingyue's voice, Song Yanzhi's nervousness disappeared by half, and he swept over the big cow that was concentrating on eating with a fearful face, and jumped to Song Lingyue's side a few times, only then did he find Lu Li on the side.

"Who is he?" Song Yanzhi pointed at Lu Li and asked Song Lingyue.

"This is Lu Li, he is the owner of the big flower. The big flower is the black and white cow in front of you. Song Lingyue patiently explained to Song Yanzhi.

Song Lingyue remembered that she hadn't introduced herself to Lu Li yet, and hurriedly added: "Lu Li, this is my younger brother Song Yanzhi, and I am his sister Song Lingyue." The eldest brother who just came back with us is called Liu Liang. ”

"Hello." Lu Li timidly said hello to Song Yanzhi.

"Oh my God! How did you get a cow at home? "Aunt Li had just come back from Chen Yuan's mother's house to finish embroidering, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw the big cow in the yard, and she was as startled as she said.

"Ling Yue, did you buy this?" Aunt Li saw that the big cow in the yard had smooth fur, and she raised it very carefully at first glance, and couldn't help but sigh: "Well, this big cow is really good." ”

"Big flowers don't sell!" Lu Li rushed out, stretched out his arms and stopped in front of Aunt Li, resolutely not allowing Aunt Li to take another step, the posture was like being afraid that Aunt Li would take away the big flowers.
