Chapter 44: Buying a Cow

Don't think that the Su family sent the duck seedlings out This matter is over, the father and daughter are still busy, today is not called by this family to see their duck seedlings, Ming'er is called by another family, and the father and daughter are busy.

If it weren't for the fact that the Su family raised a lot of chickens and ducks, the Lian family would have to stay at home and work hard, and even the Lian family would have been pulled away.

The father and daughter did not hide their secrets, and told the villagers that they knew that ducks often had several diseases, how to prevent and treat them, and what ducks ate to grow fast, and the villagers were also happy. Although there are more or less dead and injured duck seedlings in the house, the total number of deaths is not much, each family is a few to a dozen, the most one died more than 20, not because the duck seedlings are sick, but the duck pen is too small and too crowded, squeezed to death and trampled to death.

It was the Liu family who died more than 20 of them, and for this, they were sitting at the door scolding their daughter-in-law.

"Holy! What kind of sin did I create, let my son marry such an unlucky one, let the ducks run away without a shadow when they see the sky, and die so much, who will pay for the duck seedlings, not the old wife and me. ”

After scolding his daughter-in-law and son, it really made the villagers watch a lot of fun.

Su Yu stood in the villagers' pile and looked energetic, but she didn't expect that this Mrs. Liu scolded people in one set, and her daughter-in-law didn't dare to come out, so she stood aside with a big belly and let her mother-in-law scold. If it was her, a big melon seed would be drawn earlier, and she would be looking for teeth all over the ground.

After being busy for a few days, Su Yu slept hard for two days before he came back to life. After that, it was the autumn harvest, thinking of the rice in the eight acres of the family, Su Yu's scalp was numb, and there was only one board car at home, when did it have to be busy?

Ethnology is also on vacation, there are three newly bought sickles at home, because of skin reasons, Su Yu did not get the job of cutting rice, her job is to put the rice cut by the three people, put it on the straw rope to make a bunch, and then tie it into a big bundle by Su Lao Er, and then the father and son are pulled to the drying field by a board car.

The most fortunate thing for Su Yu is that her family's field is not far from the drying field in the village, which is only seven or eight minutes away, and the eight acres of land are all very well taken care of.

From Wangjia Village to Yujia Village, the family walked for eight or nine days, just a few hundred kilometers of road, but the climate of the two state capitals is very different, Wangjia Village has already been cutting rice for two months at this time, and the rice in Yujia Village has just begun to be cut. Now it's almost October, but this is also a helpless thing, Xingyang Mansion is rainy, the rainy season is almost over in October, until April and May of the next year are dry, and after May, the rain will gradually increase, if it doesn't rain when planting seedlings, you can't plant it in advance, and the people here are used to it, but it's nothing.

Suyu has many ways to help the family reduce a lot, but in ancient times, agricultural affairs were the top priority, even a small threshing method, Suyu did not dare to take it out easily.

What makes Su Yu happiest is that she finally took over the power of the family's cooking, although the conditions at home have improved, much better than before, but it is still the Lian family who cooks, and the Lian family does not let her do it, and Su Yu can't do it, so she has to eat it.

Lian's cooking is really not delicious, and the craftsmanship is at the level of cooking, which is not at all related to deliciousness, but the craftsmanship of the women in the village is also average, and no one is willing to spend money on buying seasonings, and the seasonings are only salted in addition to onions, ginger and garlic, where can they be delicious.

It just so happened that there was no meat at home, so Su Yu planned to go to the town to buy vegetables, but everyone in the family was busy, and no one accompanied her. When leaving, Su Lao Er also deliberately handed over Su Yu to the village chief's daughter-in-law. The Yang family is also going to the town to buy vegetables today, and helping to take care of the Su Yu is a matter of incident, so he agreed without much thought.

The village chief's daughter-in-law, Yang, also likes Suyu, the little girl's eyes are big and watery, and she is pleasing when she looks at it.

This is the first time Su Yu has gone to the town alone, usually her father accompanies her, she plans to buy more meat, she doesn't have to go to the town in recent days, the family is still very busy.

In fact, the Gao family in the next village sells pork, but there are few people who usually walk on the road to the next village, and no one walks when they are busy with farming.

When I got to the town, I went shopping.

"Grandma Yang, what are you going to buy?"

Usually, there is no need for Yang to go to the town to buy vegetables by herself, but when the family is busy during the autumn harvest, she takes over the work of buying vegetables in the town.

"Buy some meat, go to the grocery store and buy some spices, nothing else. Su girl, what do you want to buy? ”

"It's similar to you, I want to buy some meat, spices or anything, and there are a lot of them at home."

"Then let's go to the grocery store first, and then go buy meat."

"Listen to Grandma Yang."

The two went to the grocery store together, although Su Yu didn't buy it, but his eyes were not idle, he looked left and looked, and in the end he didn't see anything, and after Yang bought it, the two went out of the shop. Walking on East Street, just about to turn the corner in front of him, Su Yu's ears moved, and he couldn't help but stop when he heard the gossip of the passers-by next to him.

"Su girl, why don't you leave."

"Grandma Yang, wait for me, let's go over there and have a look, I seem to have heard someone say that they want to sell cattle."

"You kid, it doesn't matter to us whether people sell it or not, and we don't buy it."

"Let's go and see, it's still early anyway, Grandpa Yu hasn't gone back yet, let's wait when we go back."

"Okay, let's go and see, not far from here is the town's cattle and horse shop, which specializes in selling cattle and horses."

Su Yu has been to the town several times, but he didn't know that there was such a place, so he followed Yang to Niu Ma Xing. The cattle and horse shop is in the innermost part of East Street, this is a dead end, people who buy and sell things will not come here, and over time, this dead end in East Street will become a cattle and horse shop, and those who want to sell cattle and horses and buy cattle and horses will come here.

Walking closer, Su Yu's eyes can see the flowers, Xinglin Town is just a small town, the cattle and horses are not big, you can see the head at a glance, there are six or seven cattle in it, and there are even fewer horses, only three or four.

Thinking of the eight acres of land at home, Su Yu is not interested in horses at all now, if there is a cow at home, this will save a lot of effort.

After the autumn harvest, it is necessary to plant winter wheat as soon as possible, the season does not wait for anyone, and it is convenient to plow the land at home if you have cattle at home.

Thinking about it, Su Yu walked towards the one she liked, and as soon as she came over, she took a fancy to this one, the cow is not very old, about two years old, the horns are parallel, the body is wide and the buttocks are square, such a cow can grow longer in the future.

Su Yu is short, and if he wants to see if the cow's teeth are good, he has to look at the owner of the cow on the side.

"Uncle, how about you show me the teeth of this cow?"

The cow seller was a black-faced man.

"You little girl knows a lot, and you know how to look at the teeth of the cow."

"Well, I know a lot."

"Okay, I'll show you."

The man thought to himself, being idle now is also idle, and there is no one anyway.

The man holds the lower lip of the cow with his upper hand, revealing the cow's teeth.

"Four pairs of teeth, less than three years old, is the time to use, if it weren't for the money at home, I wouldn't be willing to sell this cow."

When the cattle seller talked about this, he was stunned, he talked to a little girl about what he was doing.

"Uncle, how are you selling this cow?"

"What's the matter, you want to buy it?"

"You tell me the price first, and I'll listen to it."

Yang was frightened and pulled Su Yu aside.

"Su girl, we don't know if the cow is good or not, let's go back first, and let your father come and take a look."
