Chapter 177: Buying a Cow

Originally, the Liu family planted an acre of sweet potatoes by themselves, and these sweet potatoes can be ground into sweet potato noodles to eat, and one acre of sweet potatoes is enough for the Liu family to eat, but now that Zhang Cheng and Zhou Hao are here, after grinding the sweet potatoes of one acre of land into sweet potato noodles, it is not enough to eat.

Liu Yiyu took advantage of the fact that after coming to town today, he bought some black noodles and ate them with sweet potato noodles.

As for Liu Yiyu, he led Zhou Hao to buy cattle.

There is a place in the town where livestock are sold.

Today is not the day of the market, and there are not many people in the place where cattle are sold, but there are quite a few.

Liu Yiyu walked around this place and saw that there were cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, birds and finches.

There are three places where cattle are sold.

"Uncle Zhou, you can recognize the good and bad of the cow." Liu Yiyu stopped at a place where he was buying cattle, and it was an old man leading a five-year-old boy to his side.

"Miss, what do I know a little bit about?". After Zhou Hao was led by Liu Yiyu to sell livestock, Zhou Hao saw Liu Yiyu set his eyes on the cow several times, and Zhou Hao, who was behind Liu Yiyu, saw this, and he also guessed in his heart, I am afraid that the main family wants to buy cattle.

"Uncle Zhou also followed me around, there are only three places to sell cattle here, Uncle Zhou, look at the cattle in these three places, is it more appropriate for us to buy the cow? Or do you want to go in and take a closer look? ”。 Then, Liu Yiyu asked again.

"Miss, this is not necessary, in the three places where cattle are sold, the cows in one look a little immature from the outside, I am afraid that they are young cows that have just been born or are at most a year old.

If the eldest lady sells cattle for farming, this young cow is not suitable, and there is another place, the cow, the limbs are not standing in the right posture, the coat is messy and dull, the skin is dry, the eyes are sunken, the eyes are dull, the eye circles are wrinkled, the movement is slow, and it is obvious that it looks like an old cow.

The cow of this family, from the outside, the cow's coat is shiny, moderately rough, the skin is soft and elastic, the eyes are full, the eyes are bright, and the behavior is lively and powerful. ”。 Zhou Hao pointed to the place where the old man led the boy to sell cattle, and said to Liu Yiyu.

Liu Yiyu also looked at the three places where cattle were sold, and he also liked the place where the old man and the boy sold cattle in his heart.

Immediately, after Liu Yiyu had a plan in his heart, he said to Zhou Hao, "Nacheng, let's go in and take a look."

"This girl wants to sell cattle, my cow is a three-year-old cow, she is young, whether it is plowing the field or pulling goods, she has the strength, if it weren't for the Korean people who came to the border of our village to steal things this year.

I haven't collected much grain in the field, and I have to pay the land tax again, and my family has no money to fill in, otherwise I wouldn't have sold this cow." The old man was a little reluctant to give up the cow, touched the cow's head and said to Liu Yiyu.

"Uncle, let me take a look at this cow first, and if it's suitable, let's buy it." Liu Yiyu gave Zhou Hao a look.

Zhou Hao immediately understood, took a few steps forward, walked in front of the cow, looked carefully, and touched the horns of the cow, Zhou Hao walked into Liu Yiyu and said, "Miss, this cow is the same as this old man said, is it a three-year-old sturdy cow?" ”。

"Oh, how do you tell the age of the cow." Liu Yiyu asked with some curiosity.

"Look at the horns, the horns of the cow are intended to resemble the rings of trees, and every time the cow gives birth, the surface of the horn forms a concave ring. Therefore, the number of horn wheels plus the breeding age is the age of the cow, and the horns of the old Han's cow have exactly three horn wheels, which is a three-year-old cow." Zhou Hao explained next to Liu Yiyu.

"I see". After Liu Yiyu heard this, he nodded.

Then, Liu Yiyu said to the old man, "Uncle, how did you sell this cow?" ”。

"Ten taels of silver ....., and nine taels of silver are also made, and there can be no less." The old man stretched out a finger and said to Liu Yiyu.

But after the old man saw that he said ten taels of silver, and after seeing that Liu Yiyu did not answer, the old man gritted his teeth and lowered one or two pieces of silver, for fear that Liu Yiyu would not buy it.

"That's it, nine taels are nine taels!". Liu Yiyu didn't expect that after he was stunned for a while, the old man would drop a tael of silver.

Originally, Liu Yiyu was thinking in his heart, and buying a cow was almost ten taels of silver, but now after lowering the price of one or two silver, Liu Yiyu naturally couldn't ask for it.

The one or two pieces of silver that came down were just enough to buy a cart and put it on the cow.

After buying the cow, Liu Yiyu gave Zhou Hao a tael of silver to buy a car, and asked Zhou Hao to buy the car and put it on the cow, and then go to meet Zhang Cheng, he had other things to do, and after doing things, he naturally went back to find them to go back together.

Liu Yiyu and Zhou Hao parted ways, and Liu Yiyu looked for a way and walked to the old auspicious silver building in the town.

The old auspicious silver building is a three-story silver building, which sells all kinds of gold, silver and jade, both taking the route of high-end large families and taking the route of ordinary people.

There are high-end, mid-range and low-end price points.

Of course, those who go up to the second and third floors of Lao Jixiang are all rich families, and their consumption is naturally different.

"This girl, I want to buy something." After Liu Yiyu walked into the old auspicious silver building, he ushered in a maid, and the maid did not look down on Liu Yiyu's dress, and greeted Liu Yiyu with a smile.

"We can't afford the expensive ones, so you can lead Lao Jixiang to take the low-cost route of silverware and take a look." Liu Yiyu was not embarrassed, and directly said that he could only buy cheap things.

"This girl said with a smile, the old auspicious silver building is open to do business, as long as you enter the door, you are a guest, there is no saying that you are cheap and cheap." The maid led Liu Yiyu to the left side of the first floor and explained with a smile.

However, after Liu Yiyu heard this, he felt quite comfortable and nodded with satisfaction.

With the quality of the old auspicious maid, it is no wonder that the old auspicious business can overwhelm the other two silver buildings in the town.

After Liu Yiyu walked into the counter, he saw that there were all kinds of silverware inside, including earrings, silver hairpins, bracelets, necklaces, and some small pendants.

The second sister and the third sister did not have earring pendants, and Liu Yiyu wanted to buy them a pair of earring pendants for them as a dowry.

Immediately, Liu Yiyu looked at these earring pendants one by one.

Liu Yiyu saw two identical heart-shaped tassel-shaped earrings, one pair of earrings weighed one tael of silver, but the selling price cost one tael of silver and five pennies.

It's more expensive than a tael of silver earrings.

Of course, there are also manual costs, as well as some wear and tear, and the selling price of the other two silver buildings in the town is about the same price.
