Chapter 47: Buying a Cow

"By the way, Shopkeeper Sun, look at these tricks, do you want them here?" Su Miaoqing remembered a few patterns that Su had embroidered in the past few days, and took them out of her arms.

Shopkeeper Sun's eyes lit up, brighter than the tiger skin he saw just now. You must know that this tiger skin has not been encountered for many years, although it can make money, but it is only a moment's work. And the tricks that this little lady of the Tong family came up with are novel and rare, but they are a good way to make money for a long time.

"Tong family lady, this pattern embroidery is fine, but my splendid hall can also come up with such embroidery, but this pattern is novel and rare, which makes people happy when they see it." Shopkeeper Sun did not hide his love for this trick at all, "I don't know where this trick came from?" As far as I know, we shouldn't have such a beautiful fancy piece. ”

Su Miaoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "This handkerchief was embroidered by my mother, and this pattern was conceived when I didn't work on weekdays." Su Miaoqing didn't hide anything, and said it directly.

"Oh?" Shopkeeper Sun's eyes lit up, and he stared at Su Miaoqing tightly, "If that's the case, I will receive this handkerchief for twenty big dollars, as for this trick, if the Tong family lady can take it out, I will receive one or two pieces of silver." This kind of novel and chic, I take as much as I want. ”

On weekdays, Su's handkerchief is only two or three big bucks, as for this novelty, Su only said that it can be sold for up to ten big bucks, and the shopkeeper Sun didn't hesitate at all, and offered a price of twenty big bucks. And what surprised Su Miaoqing even more was that this drawing was so valuable, like such a trick, Su Miaoqing felt that she would draw one a day, and she wouldn't bring the same one for a year! In his previous life, although he was famous for his gambling stone skills, but every time he opened a good jadeite, he wanted to process it himself, for this, the Su family sent her to the world-famous carving master to learn, although he has not yet come out of the school, but the carving technology is also famous in the jade circle! It is precisely because of learning sculpture that Su Miaoqing learned painting first, and now it will come in handy? That's a long-term income! And every time Jinxiutang launches a pattern, how can it be prosperous for a while!

"Isn't Shopkeeper Sun tricking me?" Su Miaoqing made a look of disbelief on her face.

"Naturally, it's not to fool you." Shopkeeper Sun smiled and nodded.

The two agreed, Su Miaoqing brought these squares of handkerchiefs for a hundred dollars, the shopkeeper Sun prepared a pen and paper on the spot, Su Miaoqing didn't work hard to draw ten patterns, until the shopkeeper Sun couldn't close his mouth, and the two also agreed to hand in the drawings once a month.

When Su Miaoqing and Tong Rui walked out of the Splendid Hall, they had an extra fifty-five taels and one hundred dollars on them. Sun's shopkeeper also specially sent a delicate embroidered purse for them to fill with silver. Counting the twelve taels of silver they had from selling tiger meat, they now had sixty-seven two thousand two thousand and one hundred great pieces of silver.

Don't talk about Tongjia Village, even if it is the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, there are almost no people who can come up with such a sum of money, right?

"Let's go, let's buy cows." Tong Rui said with some excitement.

These silvers are nothing in Su Miaoqing's eyes, but seeing that Tong Rui is so excited, she also cooperates appropriately: "Look at your excitement, we have to send the mule cart back first when we buy cattle!" ”

Tong Rui scratched his head embarrassedly, followed Su Miaoqing to return the mule cart, and by the way, he inquired about the news there and knew where the place to sell livestock in the town was.

The two walked for a quarter of an hour to reach a place dedicated to the sale of livestock. There are a lot of people, but most of them are selling, and some are buying. Originally, the livestock seller saw that two and a half old children came to buy cattle, and he wanted to fool them, but after Su Miaoqing said a few words casually, the cattle seller didn't dare to fool them, and carefully selected a strong and newly grown cow for them. And he bought an ox cart from the cattle dealer, which was originally prepared for the cattle buyers, and it was all made of new wood, and it looked the same, and there was nothing to choose from.

"This big brother, I want to ask, in addition to the cattle that plough and pull the cart, are there any cows that can produce milk?" Su Miaoqing asked.

The cattle seller's eyes rolled a few times, such cattle are not welcomed in the bull market, such cattle are generally raised by rich families to drink milk. These two in front of you don't look like that! However, the cattle dealer didn't say much, nodded and said, "What a coincidence, it just so happens that my friend has a good cow with a very strong physique and can produce forty catties of milk a day!" ”

When Su Miaoqing heard this, her eyes lit up, although she didn't know how much milk a cow produced a day, it was good, but forty catties of milk on this day was enough to drink. As for feeding the cows, the little ones in the family just need to get some grass!

"Then the troublesome big brother will take us over to see. If we could, we would have it. Su Miaoqing said.

The cattle dealer happily handed over his stall to the man next to him, and led him to the cow's place, thinking in his heart how much money he would get if he helped sell the cow.

Tong Rui didn't expect Su Miaoqing to open her mouth to buy cows, but as soon as she thought about it, she knew that she wanted to improve the life of her family, after all, this milk was nutritious!

A black and white cow, on the stall not far away, is conspicuous, and there are nothing more than yellow or dark black cows around, only one is such a color, which is in line with the cow Su Miaoqing has seen in her previous life. The man who sold the cattle saw a few people coming from afar, and his face was excited. I have been selling this cow for a long time, and no one cares, and this feed alone costs a lot every day.

The person who brought Su Miaoqing and Tong Rui over before told them the intention of the two of them, and the cow seller said: "My cow produces a little sweet milk, but it is a good cow, and it doesn't eat a lot of feed." ”

This Su Miaoqing didn't understand much, and smiled: "This eldest brother, I don't know how to raise cattle, but the health of a few small people in the family is too poor, and I have worked hard for a year, and I have saved some money, so I want to buy cows and get some milk for them to replenish their bodies." Look, how much money do you have to sell? ”

Su Miaoqing deliberately said that the year of work was heavier, that is, to tell this cattle seller that he was not a big family, so he didn't need to think about slaughtering the household.

The cow seller hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ten taels of silver, ten taels of silver." ”

The cattle seller next to him widened his eyes, is this poor and crazy? A useless cow costs ten taels of silver? The cattle they cultivated were only fifteen taels of silver, and they gave them a new car.

Su Miaoqing lowered her head and thought about it, according to this era, cows are worthless, a good farming cow is fifteen taels, and a cow is ten taels, it seems to be about the same. When he looked up and was about to agree, the cow seller said eagerly: "Ten taels, this calf has also been given to you." ”

Su Miaoqing saw that there was a cow with the same pattern behind the cow, which was not big in size, and it should have been born not long after the cow. I didn't expect that as soon as I hesitated, I sent another head, although it was a small one, but it was not bad.

"This big brother, ten taels is ten taels. But I want to ask, is this calf a male or female? ”

"Male. However, even if it is too big to do anything, it can still be killed and eaten. The cattle seller said eagerly.

Su Miaoqing nodded, took out ten taels of silver from her purse, and handed it to the cattle seller.

The cow seller saw that the cow was sold, and he was in a good mood, and carefully told Su Miaoqing how to feed the cow to produce more milk, and how to milk the cow carefully and clearly, so they let them go!
