Chapter 899: Fresh milk is popular
Unconsciously a year has passed, Liao Chi has turned one year old, he cries less, and no one calls him his nickname of "not enough". Naturally, he ate more meat from cows, sheep and other animals with the adults.
Usually rarely eat milk, including milk, slowly he weaned, and his cow also became a cow, the reason is that other daughters-in-law gave birth to children, in order to make up for the lack of milk, most of them went to his house to say hello, and then took a bowl, bowl or something to the cow's belly to receive milk, of course, to stretch out a hand to slowly pinch the milk, until it was full.
In this way, his cow naturally became a cow. At first, the obligation was asked to be picked up a few times, and then to pick it up, Liao Hao said to the person who came, you should also add some nutrition to the cow. Having said that, every time the milk picker comes, he sends a pot of soy milk to the cows to drink. Liao Hao felt that he had not received any benefit, so he discussed with Xu Qinqin, and his family went to the cow's belly to milk the cow, stored it in a pot, and carried it to the street to sell. So the people in the neighborhood who need milk say, "I'll pay for it, how much is it for a pound?"
Three dollars a pound. Liao Hao replied, a little embarrassed, so he explained: Originally, it didn't matter if I sent some milk to the neighborhood babies to drink, but the problem was that there were too many quarantines and the cost was high, so I wanted to sell some milk to make some money by selling milk out of cattle to make up for the shortfall in quarantine input.
After another year, the calf grows up and becomes an adult cow, which the herders call white because of its white coat. Xu Qinqin wanted to sell it and get some money to buy toys for Liao Chi to make his childhood fun.
Ma Xiangzhi, who often helps his family, suggested that it is best not to sell, because if you sell your family, you will suffer a loss. Do you know that this white cow is a female, and she was bred with my bull that time, and now she is pregnant with a calf, if she sells it, won't it make people pick up a bargain? It looks like they have taken one cow, but it's actually two, because it won't be long before it gives birth to a calf.
Liao Hao said, if this is the case, why don't we just raise the price of cattle?
Alas! I said Brother Liao, if you sell it, it is equivalent to selling a milk production machine, and now your cow can make money for your family, if the white cow gives birth to a calf and turns it into a cow, then your family will have two cows producing milk, and two cows will produce milk, and the economic income will be twice as high.
Your brain is really bright. Liao Hao praised Ma Xiangzhi for being reasonable. Ma Xiangzhi said with a smile, you still have to thank my bull, otherwise, how did your mother and daughter of the Niu family become two cow mothers who produce milk?
Do you mean to say that your rhubarb bull has merit?
Yes! If you are rich, you should be rewarded for your deeds.
Ma Xiangzhi's real meaning is that they should be grateful to their family, if their family does not allow the rhubarb bull to breed, the female cow may still be a virgin, and it is impossible to give birth to a calf at all. Liao Hao understood a little bit of meaning, and said in a clear tone, do you want our family to cut some good forage to reward your rhubarb bull?
I didn't mean that, that's what you said. Ma Xiangzhi replied with a smile.
Liao Hao was still reminiscing about what Ma Xiangzhi said, and thought to himself: If the white cow was pregnant with a bull calf this time, it would be good if it was born and grown up, and it could also play the role of a rhubarb bull.
Coincidentally, a few months later, Liao Hao's white cow really gave birth to a bull calf. Liao Hao was very happy, because in the future, he would not have to find Ma Xiangzhi's rhubarb bull. What's even more coincidental is that Ma Xiangzhi also gave birth to a baby, and she is a continuation of incense.
Her man's name is Hu Jun, a tea merchant who trafficks brick tea from Hunan and Hubei to Mongolia, where it is processed into milk tea, which is very popular. To make milk tea, you need to buy a lot of milk.
Hu Jun often said to Ma Xiangzhi, who was breastfeeding the child: You go outside and touch the situation with me to see where there is fresh milk for sale. Ma Xiangzhi immediately thought of Liao Hao's two cows, the milk of the white cow for the calves, and the milk of the big cow could be sold to her. But she didn't want to buy it, she just wanted to get some for nothing, she thought it shouldn't be a problem, because the two female cows of Liao Hao's family were bred by her rhubarb bull before giving birth to calves, and then they became cows, and now they ask him for some milk, it should be said that he is not quite embarrassed to accept milk money.
But if she knew that her family was going to make milk tea to make money, Liao Hao would be unhappy and might find a reason to refuse. Ma Xiangzhi is fat and has a high bulging chest, if he tells Liao Hao that his milk is not enough for the baby, he will definitely not believe it. For this reason, she thought of a way, found Liao Hao, and pretended that she had a bad cough and cold, maybe there was a virus in the milk, and now she had to go to his house to get some fresh milk for the child to eat.
Liao Hao was unwilling, because her coming to get it was equivalent to giving it away for nothing, and it also meant that she made less money for milk, but it was not easy to excuse herself, because Ma Xiangzhi usually took care of his family too much, and Ma Xiangzhi's rhubarb bull also contributed. With all this in mind, it is said that the big cow can get milk, but the white cow can't, and its milk must be supplied to the calves.
I know that. Ma Xiangzhi came to the field, filled a pot of milk under the belly of the big cow, and left. Liao looked at it well, and always felt that he had lost something. I thought to myself: next time I come to milk the cow, I will have to find a reason to refuse her to take advantage.
Sure enough, the next time, Ma Xiangzhi took a pot to prepare to milk the cow under the belly of the big cow, Liao Hao was about to say something to stop it, Xu Qinqin pulled him aside and whispered, Ma Xiangzhi has helped our family a lot, what is it to receive some milk? Besides, we have two cows, and he doesn't have much impact on taking a small pot every day. People should know how to repay their kindness.
It was a morning of sparrow chirping, and the sparrow flying around on the top of the door also dropped a feather and fell in front of Liao Hao's eyes, Liao Hao didn't want to look at it, but said to Xu Qinqin, do you know how much this pot of milk can be sold for?
You don't talk so much. Xu Qinqin was very benevolent and replied with a frown, the reason why our two cows became cows is inseparable from the contribution of their rhubarb bulls.
Liao Hao said that without their big yellow bull, our two cows can still become dairy cows, and there are many bulls in the east of the grassland, so you can pick them at will.
Of course, this is an option, but it is a fact that our cows choose their rhubarb bulls, and we should be grateful. Xu Qinqin made sense, Liao Hao was silent, he didn't refute anything, and he always felt that he had lost money.
At this moment, Ma Xiangzhi walked through the scene with a pot of milk and greeted Liao Hao and his wife, thank you, and thank your cows.
Alas! Xu Qinqin nodded, but Liao Hao muttered, what are the words of thanking our cows? If you don't get milk from my cows, you'll just stare dryly.
Ma Xiangzhi may have felt something, she used to come to pick up milk almost once a day, and later, she only came to pick up milk every two or three days. Liao Hao was unhappy in his heart, but he had a smiling face on the surface, he came up with a way to deal with Ma Xiangzhi, but now he said to her enthusiastically, what do you want to take? Wouldn't it be okay for me to pick up a jug of milk and deliver it to your house every day?
Is this okay? I'm embarrassed to pick up milk too many times, and I have to let you deliver it in person, so I can't afford it? Ma Xiangzhi looked at him with a guilty look on his face.
Nothing, nothing. Liao Hao has a calculation in his heart, I want to make you happy in vain.
