Dressed as a little farmer's lucky treasure, God sends blessings and asks for forgiveness

Zhao Guocheng looked at the red-haired cow that Zhao Shiying had chosen with some disbelief.

There is a small tuft of reddish hair between the two horns, which is slightly different from the yellow color of the whole body, so it is easy to recognize.

After some research, he felt that they were all similar.

But if my little girl likes it, then I'll choose this one.

So after everyone unanimously agreed, they chose the red-haired cow.

"You have good taste. This cow is not an ordinary cow. It is a hybrid red-haired cow. The price is a few cents higher. That kind sells for thirteen taels of silver, and this kind sells for fifteen taels." The cattle dealer introduced that there is indeed a difference in price, but it is not that high.

"The price you're asking is too outrageous. An ordinary adult cow costs at most twelve taels of silver, and some cost ten taels. Why are you asking for thirteen taels? This hybrid cow is even less valuable. It's cheaper than local oxen. Are you trying to fool me?" Zhao Guocheng said with a frown.

What he said really sounded like that.

The cattle dealer's heart skipped a beat. This is someone who knows the business. Has he met an expert?

How could this honest guy know so much?

Zhao Guocheng muttered to himself, if it’s so expensive, he might as well go and have a look at other stores.

Wang Ronghua: It’s better to compare prices from three stores and have a look around first.

"How can that be? It's all the same price." said the cattle dealer with a wry smile.

"Okay, then let's take a look first and come back later to talk about it." After saying that, Zhao Guocheng took his family out.

"Hey, don't go, we can negotiate the price." The cattle dealer became anxious and immediately stopped everyone.

"Do you really want to buy this red-haired cow?" the cattle dealer confirmed.

"Of course I only look at it if I want to buy it." Wang Ronghua nodded.

"Okay, I won't give you any empty promises. I'll just give you twelve taels. That's it," said the cattle dealer.

Wang Ronghua and Zhao Guocheng looked at each other.

"The price is still a bit high. How about this, we'll buy it for eight taels of silver," said Wang Ronghua.

"What? Eight taels?" The cattle dealer screamed in shock and looked at Wang Ronghua unkindly, feeling that this woman was here to cause trouble.

"Well, nine taels, this is the highest price we can offer. If you think it's okay, sell it to us. If not, we'll look for the next buyer." Zhao Guocheng saw the unfriendly face of the cattle dealer and knew that his wife must have said too low, so he raised the price by another tael of silver.

But he felt that the cow was still worth nine taels of silver.

The cattle dealer pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay, but if you need cattle cart frames, you can buy them from me. I have both new and old ones, and the price is fair. How about it?" said the cattle dealer.

"Okay, let's take a look at the frame." Zhao Guocheng nodded. The cow was bought.

This time, Zhao Guocheng chose an old frame, mainly because he didn't want to be too conspicuous. Buying a cow is already a big deal, and if it were brand new, the villagers would probably be jealous. So Zhao Guocheng thought that an old one would be fine as long as it was sturdy, and it would also be much cheaper.

So the total cost of the ox and the oxcart frame was nine taels and one hundred and twenty wen.

Wang Ronghua was still very satisfied. It didn't cost more than ten taels of silver, which meant that it was not a loss.

After the ox cart was harnessed and all the things were put on it, Wang Ronghua held Zhao Shiying and took Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shihui to sit at the back of the ox cart, while Zhao Guocheng drove the ox cart and sat side by side with Zhao Shisheng.

Zhao Shisheng was very excited.

It was his first time riding in a bullock cart like this, and he sat in the front.

The excited hand directly touched the red-haired cow's butt, but the red-haired cow seemed to have noticed it and actually swung its tail hard.

Red-haired Cow: Really? It’s a cow, why are you touching its butt? You have no respect for cows at all, you deserve to be dumped.

Zhao Shisheng was hit by the cow's tail and immediately shrank back, but he was still looking left and right excitedly.

It was already noon when we arrived at the village entrance.

At this time, many people were still cooking, and of course there were also people sitting at the door chatting.

Just then, a sharp-eyed villager saw Zhao Guocheng driving the ox cart back.

"Second son of the Zhao family, did you buy this cow yourself?" the visitor asked in shock, pointing at the red-haired cow.

The disbelief in his eyes was obvious.

"Yes, Uncle De, I just bought it. Isn't it for the convenience of going to the market? Otherwise, I would have to go to the market with my family every day. Not only would I be tired, but I wouldn't make much. I earned some money before, and with some borrowed, I just got enough money for the ox cart, so I bought it with a determined heart." Zhao Guocheng discussed the excuse with Wang Ronghua on the way back.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that selling bamboo shoots is so valuable. If they sell well, don't forget our fellow villagers when you make money. Will we continue to harvest the bamboo shoots we dug?" Uncle De asked.

"Yes, if there are any mountain products, mushrooms, fungus, etc. that we pick, we will buy them. As long as the goods are good, we will buy them and pay the price according to the town." Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.

"Really? That's great. We'll bring all the items we find to you. You can be sure to take them." Uncle De was very happy.

In two months, a large number of mushrooms and fungus will grow. Then we will be able to pick a lot when we go up the mountain. These days are very promising.

"Really, you can tell the villagers about it when the time comes." Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.

The last time they picked up mushrooms and black fungus, Zhao Shiying kept talking about wanting to eat them. Wang Ronghua made a sauce based on what Zhao Shiying said. The sauce was delicious and went well with rice. It was also very palatable to have with porridge or rice porridge in the morning.

This is what we have been eating at home recently, so Wang Ronghua wanted to try making some and take them out to sell, and if they sell well, she could make a large quantity.

All the way to the end of the village, many families came out to watch the fun. They all knew that Zhao Laoer's family had become rich and had earned enough money to buy a ox cart.

When this news reached the ears of the people in the Zhao family's old house, some sighed and some were happy. Naturally, the happy one was Zhao Dagen.

It was already early afternoon when we got home and had dinner. The children were all very fond of the cow and were stroking its fur.

I never let it go when I first got home, and it’s even worse now.

The red-haired cow was getting a little impatient and felt itchy all over its body.

But it seemed like it could sense that the little kids loved it, and it held back its temper.

"Shengzi and Huizi, you two will be responsible for taking the cows to graze in the afternoon. Make sure they are well fed. From now on, the cows will be left to you two. If you don't have time to graze them, you will have to cut grass and bring it back." Wang Ronghua instructed.

"Hey, Mom, we will make sure to feed Red Hair well." Zhao Shisheng patted his chest and promised.

Zhao Shihui also agreed.

"Okay, you stay at home in the afternoon, and your father and I will go up the mountain." Wang Ronghua said with a smile.

"Mom, let's not go up the mountain in the afternoon. Since we bought an ox cart and go to the market every day, we have to change the time for picking bamboo shoots. How about starting to pick bamboo shoots at the end of the 3:00 p.m. every day? This way we can get the freshest bamboo shoots and sell them the next day." Zhao Shimin said after thinking for a while.

"That's right. Why don't we sit down and discuss what to do next?" Wang Ronghua said with a smile, as if he had thought of something.
