271 Run, Rhubarb
On the twelfth day of the Lunar New Year, the beginning of spring, the weather gradually warms up, in order to welcome spring, up to the emperors of the past dynasties down to the peddlers and pawns will worship the spring on the beginning of the spring to celebrate and pray for a good year.
Xinghua Village is no exception, under the auspices of Wang Qingyang, the village is holding a grand ceremony of "beating spring cattle", which is not a real cow, but a mud cow shaped with clay.
Two adults walked around the village with the big spring ox, followed by a group of children giggling and beating the big spring ox with willow branches.
"Sister, Xiu'er, hurry up!"
The second girl took the willow branch and shook her little hand at the big girl behind her, Xiu'er.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang followed closely beside Erya.
The big girl's white little face was not impatient at all, but her face was full of joy, and she was also holding a thin wicker in her hand, looking at the big spring cow that was beaten by her friends, and her eyes flashed with brilliance.
In the past, when she came home after washing her clothes, she had also seen many children whipping Dachun Ox, and seeing the happy appearance of those children, she couldn't envy it, and she also wanted to beat Dachun Ox with thin wicker like them.
But because she was afraid that she would go back late and be scolded by her grandmother and aunt, she could only leave quickly.
Now, she can also fight the big spring cow.
Seriously, this year is her best New Year, with new clothes to wear, New Year's money, and to go to Grandpa Zhou's house to play, a lot.
Mother is right, the future will be better and better.
"Big girl, second girl, you guys are also coming to fight spring cows!" In the crowd, several boys from the He family greeted the eldest girl and the second girl.
"Yes!" the big girl smiled very well, her face was white, her eyes were big, and she didn't look like a little girl in the village at all.
"Get out of the way, I'll fight instead!"
The second girl grinned and shook the thin wicker in his hand.
The action of the surrounding children whipping the big spring cow suddenly stopped.
In the past, the children of the He family had a pivotal position among the children in the village.
What's more, now, He Da has become a yamen catcher, which makes many children envy and worship, and at the same time, they dare not provoke a few children from the He family.
And a few children of the He family are obedient to Erya, so all the children in the village dare not provoke Erya.
However, many children are still happy to play with Erya, after all, Erya will always give them candy to eat, and lead them to play everywhere, causing Erya to gradually become the king of children in the village.
After that, the two girls followed the children to play the big spring cow, and their little faces were full of joy and had a lot of fun.
After the beginning of spring, in the fields, the villagers are rushing to spring ploughing, a busy scene.
Not every household in the village has a cow, and some families with a large population have an advantage, with three generations of fathers, sons, and grandchildren working in the fields, but some families with a small population are more difficult.
Therefore, they will borrow the handle of the ploughing ox.
But there are only a few families in the village who have cultivated cattle, so naturally some villagers find Niu Dalijia to borrow rhubarb.
Generally, people who come to borrow cattle will not come empty-handed, but will bring some bacon and eggs, of course, it is not for nothing, and they will give some wages or something.
The amount is not much, about 20 wen a day.
For these things, Niu Dali naturally doesn't like it, but he will not refuse to borrow cattle.
Of course, he wouldn't borrow it casually, not that he wanted to tie up someone, but that some families with large families who didn't need to farm cattle at all, so he excluded them.
It is only lent to some families with a small population, and there are many people like this in the village, after all, not all of them are brothers.
On the cultivated land, rhubarb is different from other cattle, and the efficiency is so fast that people are stunned.
The other cattle have to be urged behind with whips, and there are more than two acres in a day, after all, the cattle are not theirs, and they dare not tire the cattle out.
But Niu Dalijia's rhubarb is like a horse, dragging a rake and sprinting in the field, if it runs around, they are not so shocked, but as long as Rhubarb hears them say how to do it, he obediently does what they say.
Three or four days of farm work is the end of the day.
All the people who just borrowed rhubarb were dumbfounded, and the first thing they said was, "This cow shouldn't be a sperm, right?"
And when returning the cow, they gave a thumbs up and said, "This cow is a god." ”
Some villagers even asked Niu Dali curiously how he raised cattle, and Niu Dali's explanation was also very perfunctory, just saying that from childhood to adulthood, rhubarb is like this.
Although the villagers were puzzled, they did not doubt it, after all, strange things happen every year, and it is not strange to have one more.
Soon, the matter of Niu Dali's rhubarb gradually spread.
Many villagers have also seen the efficiency of rhubarb, and originally planned to borrow cattle from other people in the village, but later simply borrowed cattle from Niudali.
Not to mention anything else, just rely on Niu Dali's rhubarb to top the efficiency of others for three days a day, and only charge one day's money, which can save them two days of money.
However, because there were too many people who came to Niu Dali's house to borrow cattle, they couldn't borrow them at all, so they had no choice but to find other people's cattle.
But also because of the astonishing speed of rhubarb's ploughing speed, those who have ploughing cattle at home are red-eyed.
Among them is Zhou Laozhu's family.
Zhou Laozhu's family originally relied on cattle for a living, and usually sent the villagers to the town, but not every day people go to the town, especially in the busy farming season, there are fewer villagers in the town.
Originally, I was expecting spring ploughing to borrow others to plough cattle to earn a fortune, but I was so stirred up by Niu Dajia's rhubarb, how much less money did I have to make!
"No, I'm going to go to their house!"
Zhou's eyes were anxious, the ox cart business before the Chinese New Year made Niu Dali's family rob a lot, so that their family made a few hundred dollars less, and now they borrowed others to plough cattle, Niu Dali's family robbed their business again.
"You still don't want me to stop!" Zhou Laozhu said in a deep voice: "If you look for a strong theory, I will ask you how to theorize? Do you have to say that your cow is too capable of working and is blocking our financial route? I don't know what the reaction of the big man is, but our family's reputation must have been lost by you." ”
Most of the people who need to borrow cattle are the villagers, and the Zhou family made trouble because of the matter of ploughing cattle, which is simply unreasonable, which is not to let the villagers plough the land well, but I am afraid that the villagers who borrowed cattle from the strong family can drown their families with a mouthful of spit.
"You don't want to think about it, we are not the only ones in the village who have cows, have you ever seen other people looking for Niu Dali's theory? Zhou Laozhu asked rhetorically.
"I... I... I'm not here for this family!" Zhou said: "His Niu Dali's cattle work three times a day than other people's families, and if this continues, we won't lend cattle to other people's families, they have all been dried up by Niu Dali's cattle." ”
