Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Zhang Jinlan thought that since cows were so cheap, calves should be even cheaper, so it would be better to buy one big and one small.

When the time comes, the small ones will be raised and sold, and all the investment will be earned back.

"The calf costs three ounces of silver."

The cattle vendor thought Zhang Jinlan was a big customer.

Originally, I saw that she was wearing rags and was being perfunctory.

Now he is much more attentive.

"This is too expensive. There's no guarantee that the calf will survive. If it dies, wouldn't that mean I'll lose a lot of money? You're asking a ridiculous price. Forget it. I don't want it. Can you give me a lower price for this cow?"

I grew up in Zhangjia Village.

She naturally knew the price of cattle.

A large cow usually weighs about 15 taels, while an old cow is cheaper, not exceeding 11 taels.

Most calves weigh around 200 grams.

How can it be sold for three taels of silver?

Unheard of.

Zhang Jinlan gave up the idea of ​​buying two cows and she bargained for a price.

She thought to herself that if the cow was half an ounce cheaper, she would buy it outright.

[Foolish human, the cow cannot give birth to a baby, and there is something growing in the cow's stomach, so it will be sick and won't live long. If you buy it home, it will die in front of you.]

Jiang Fubao on the side turned off the shield.

The next second, she heard the voice of the cow in front of her.

what?

It won't live long?

So this vendor is cheating!

Jiang Fubao quickly grabbed grandma's arm.

Afraid that she would pay to buy the cow.

"Grandma, don't buy this cow!"

The market was too noisy, so Jiang Fubao had to speak at the loudest volume so that his grandmother could hear him.

But in this way, the cattle dealer nearby also heard it.

There was anger on his face.

He glared at Jiang Fubao fiercely.

"What's wrong, my dear grandson? Why can't we buy this cow?"

Zhang Jinlan was a little confused. She picked up her granddaughter and asked patiently.

"Because, because.... because it's too ugly, I don't like it, grandma, let's go and look somewhere else."

She couldn't tell Grandma that she could hear the cow's thoughts.

Jiang Fubao thought about it for a long time before coming up with such a lame excuse.

But he managed to persuade Zhang Jinlan.

"Okay, since our Fubao doesn't like it, then grandma won't buy it. Yamato, let's go and look somewhere else."

Done.

The three members of the Jiang family left quickly.

This caused the cattle dealer behind to curse loudly.

"Mom, this cow is so cheap, are you really not going to buy it? It would be a pity if someone else buys it first."

Jiang Dahe looked back repeatedly while speaking.

Afraid that the cow would be bought by someone else.

"Okay, stop looking. When I was bargaining just now, I touched the cow's belly and it was bulging and hard. It looked like there was something inside."

Zhang Jinlan is different from her eldest son.

Although her family had never bought a cow, Zhangjia Village was wealthy.

Just from what she knew, there were six families that had cows.

Unlike my son, he has only seen it but never touched it.

Thinking back to what her granddaughter had just said, Zhang Jinlan guessed that there must be something wrong with the cow.

Otherwise it wouldn’t be sold so cheaply.

My granddaughter has always had good luck.

She must have sensed something was wrong, so she made a fuss.

"There's something? What is it? Mom, could it be a calf? If I buy it home, I'll make a fortune. I'll buy two cows for the price of one."

Jiang Dahao suddenly looked a little silly.

It was as if Sun Pingmei was possessed.

Jiang Fubao and Zhang Jinlan were both speechless.

"How come you are as stupid as your sister-in-law? Can't he find out that there is really a calf selling a cow? Why must he sell it to you? How can there be such a good thing in the world? I told you, eight taels, how can it be such a low price? Even an old cow can't buy it. It seems that cheap goods are not good. Let's go and have a look at other places."

Zhang Jinlan held her granddaughter in one hand and used the other hand to give her eldest son a loud slap on the head.

The three figures disappeared from the cattle dealer's sight.

He felt relieved after cursing and continued to hawk his wares.

"Sell calves, sell, sell cows, only eight ounces each."

Originally, the cattle dealer didn't want to sell the cow.

After all, all purchases and sales of cattle must be registered with the officials. If a cow dies and the buyer finds something strange, he will report it to the authorities and he will be the one who will be in trouble.

However, Ruling Prefecture strictly prohibits eating sick beef.

Once a cow dies of illness, it must be buried in a pit.

Then he will lose all his money.

Under the temptation of money.

The cattle dealers' cries became louder and louder.

Soon it attracted a lot of people to come and ask the price.

"Really eight taels? Selling a cow for eight taels? Not an old cow?"

"Old cows can't be that cheap. Is there anything wrong with your cows?"

"Oh, you don't look thin, can you make it cheaper?"

Seven or eight people came up to the cow and touched it back and forth.

When they bargain.

A middle-aged man with a mustache took out eight taels of silver and put it in the cattle dealer's hand.

"Brother Deng, you gave the money too quickly. Sigh, you got there first."

Another man who knew the mustache sighed regretfully.

"Haha, this cow is so cheap, why bargain, just buy it, I'm quick, let you bargain, the cow is still gone, haha, let's go, go to the official to register, I have to take the cow back quickly."

The man surnamed Deng laughed.

There was a look of arrogance in his eyes.

The cattle dealer's eyes lit up with joy.

He pocketed the money and handed the calf to someone he knew at the stall next door to take care of it.

He took the cow and the man surnamed Deng to find the official to register.

soon.

The cow completely changed its owner.

On the other side, the three members of the Jiang family also took a fancy to a bull.

Especially strong.

The cattle dealer asked for fifteen taels.

Zhang Jinlan bargained with me for a long time.

The final transaction price was fourteen taels.

The cattle dealer was almost crying.

Because she had enough silver, Zhang Jinlan bought a ready-made ox cart with four wooden wheels and a frame that could seat at least twelve people.

"Let's go, park the ox cart directly in front of the shop."

Jiang Dahao drove the ox cart, and Zhang Jinlan sat in the back with her granddaughter.

Although it was my first time driving a ox cart, oxen are not as strong as horses.

Just give the cow a light whip and it will go away on its own.

If you want to stop or turn, just pull the rope.

The other end of the rope is tied to the cow's nose ring.

It hurts when you pull it.

Make the cows obey.

It was already noon when we bought the cow.

On the way, Zhang Jinlan bought some coarse flour steamed buns and mixed cold dishes.

It only cost a little over twenty cents.

Back to the shop door.

Jiang Fubao found that all four tables in the shop were full.

There were three people outside waiting for a seat at the door.

"I'm sorry, the sausages and potatoes are all sold out, and now the only thing left in the shop is green bean soup."

Walk into the shop.

Jiang Fubao saw his elder brother Jiang Tongjin apologizing to a guest.

"Forget it, let's have a bowl of mung bean soup. Please prepare more in the future. It's not enough to sell this little. I came here just for the grilled sausage. What a pity that I didn't get to eat it."

"I can't help it. I don't have enough manpower at home to make so much. If you want to eat it, please come early tomorrow. I will definitely save some for you."
