With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

A man who was watching looked at the cow with disdain.

"Your cow's legs are broken, it can't even plow the land. What's the point of buying this cow? You're just going to kill it for meat!"

Zhou Yue learned the cause of the incident from their conversation.

This lady came to the market today to sell cattle.

In the past, there were also people selling cows during the big market, but the cows they sold were not killed for meat, but to help with farming.

In this era, cattle are very valuable production tools that can help the family plow the fields and pull goods, but people are generally reluctant to kill them for food.

The cow in front of me is a male yellow cow. It is quite strong and big, probably weighing about 700 to 800 kilograms.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something wrong with the cow's body; its leg was lame.

One of its hind legs was broken, and it could hardly stand steadily, not to mention walking.

The damaged leg has become somewhat atrophied and is definitely incurable.

Once the leg is broken, the cow loses its ability to work and can no longer plow the fields or pull things.

If the cow loses its labor value, its only fate is to be slaughtered.

This does sound cruel, but it is the truth, even in modern times when there are animal protections.

If a racehorse has a problem with its legs and can no longer run, it will be euthanized. However, in modern times, few people eat horse meat.

So it is the same with this cow, except that the beef is delicious, and the only value left is eating meat.

The old lady had raised this cow for several years and had lived with it for such a long time that she really couldn't bear to slaughter it with her own hands.

Although the old lady knew its fate, she couldn't kill it herself, let alone cut off its meat piece by piece and sell it to others.

So today I brought the cow to the market, intending to sell it as a whole.

However, in the nearby villages, everyone's conditions are not particularly good.

It's okay to buy some beef to try, but it's too difficult to buy a whole head.

The people gathered around all wanted to buy some beef to take back and try, but the old lady was unwilling to sell it individually, which made them really anxious.

"Hey! What's the harm in slaughtering this cow? Its legs are like this, it will have to be killed sooner or later!"

"Auntie, if you don't want to do it yourself, there are hunters nearby, just call them to help!"

But the old lady still shook her head firmly and refused no matter what.

"You can do whatever you want with them after you buy them. I, an old woman, can't control you. But you can't do it in front of me. If you want to buy them, buy a whole head. I don't buy them individually!"

The people around were a little helpless. Hey! This old woman is so stubborn!

"If you sell like this, you won't be able to sell any even after the fair is over!"

"That's right. We are trying to persuade you with good intentions, but you are still like this. Then just wait here!"

The villagers around thought that the old lady was very stubborn, but Zhou Yue understood her very well.

After all, it is the cow that has followed me for so many years, working in the fields together and pulling things together. Naturally, it would not be without any feelings at all. After all, humans are not plants.

Zhou Yue is not a vegetarian, and beef is indeed delicious to her.

But if it was a cow she raised with her own hands, she would not be able to bring herself to kill it no matter what.

This lady would probably sit there for the whole morning but nothing would be achieved and she would just be wasting her time.

So Zhou Yue thought about it and decided to just buy the cow!
