After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

After Fang Tong left, he stood at the entrance of the academy and waited for a while. When he saw nothing, he left.

After delivering the goods, he asked Tiezhu to go directly to the scalper's shop to wait for him. After this trip today, he also felt that it would be better for the scalper to buy it early.

Their family doesn't live in the county town like others. If their two children really had to go through this every day, they, as parents, would feel distressed.

Studying is one thing, but you also need to be in good health and not get sick in order to study well.

When he arrived at the pawnshop, he saw Zhuzi sitting at the stall at the door.

"Iron pillar!"

He called out, and Tiezhu quickly stood up: "Have you sent all the children there?"

Fang Tong nodded and raised his chin: "Let's go buy some cattle."

As he passed by, he patted Tiezhu on the back and said, "Stand up straight. We are here to spend money."

"Dacheng! Dacheng?!"

He shouted as he entered the yard, and Sun Dacheng rushed out of the house: "Hey Brother Fang, I thought I heard it wrongly, why do you always make such noises every time you come?"

Fang Tong folded his arms and smiled: "You are talking like this, are you my brother? If I come to the pawnshop, who else can I look for but you?"

Sun Dacheng quickly apologized with a smile: "Yes, yes, I am a brother to everyone, and I can't be different from you. Look for me next time!"

As he spoke, he raised his head towards Tiezhu as a greeting.

"But brother, what are you doing here this time? It's not about the cows again, is it?"

He thought that if there was any problem with the cow, the dairy company would definitely not return it and could only help to resell it to someone else under a name.

Fang Tong glanced at him and saw his uneasy look, and knew what he was thinking.

"Humph, seeing how little you can do, I'm here to buy a cow!"

Sun Dacheng's eyes widened: "Ah? Brother, you still want the cows? What are you going to do with all this milk?"

"Scalper, this time I'm here to buy scalpers!"

...This scalper is not cheap either!

Sun Dacheng's jaw dropped in shock. "Is this true, Brother Fang? Are you really rich? You buy a whole cow a day?"

Whenever Fang Tong sees his friends, he can't help but brag.

"Hey, this is nothing, it's just a small thing, but they are all things we need at home. We still live in the village. If we can buy a house in the county town in the future, that would be amazing."

Tiezhu chimed in, "You have to save up enough money to buy a yard, since your family has grown."

Fang Tong said happily: "Yes, then I won't have to run to the county town all the time, and I won't have to farm the land in the village myself, I can share it with others..."

The two of them sang in unison, boasting more and more, which left Sun Dacheng stunned.

At this time, Manager Chen came over.

He felt as if he heard a familiar voice inside. Looking out the window, he saw Sun Dacheng standing with someone else and recognized him at once.

Fang Tong quickly cleared his throat and greeted him.

When Manager Chen saw him, he smiled and said, "Brother Fang, you're here again? What do you want to see this time?"

Fang Tong said he wanted to buy a cow, a plowing ox, and he looked overjoyed.

"See the cows? Yes! Come, let's go see them together and let Dacheng tell you about them!"

Following the steward, they walked all the way to the cowshed.

"Look, these are the cows that are now sold in the dental industry!"

There were cows of all sizes and genders in the shed, and Sun Dacheng began to introduce them to him.

"Brother Fang, if you're just buying it to plow the land, then choose a bull. It's strong. Look, from here to there, these are all good, but this one is a little smaller."

Fang Tong pointed to the last one: "That one is a bit old, it won't work either."

Apart from these two, there are three left.

In fact, a smaller cow is also good, as it will grow up eventually. It’s just that Fang Tong is in a hurry to use it and wants to harness it to the cart as soon as possible.

"Brother Fang, these are all six taels each."

He walked over and while listening to Sun Dacheng chattering, he touched the yellow cow in front of him.

The yellow cow in the middle lowered its head and looked a little dull. He didn't say anything, but he already felt that this cow was no good.

People say that a cow's ears should be flexible. A cow that looks listless is either very tired or has some problem.

He pried open the remaining two and looked at their tongues. They looked the same, at least they were in good spirits.

"How old are these two?"

Sun Dacheng said truthfully: "These two are a little over two years old, with a difference of less than two months. Look, they look about the same size. They were raised in the same shed."

This is really a bit difficult.

Tiezhu pointed at the side and said, "Take this one."

Fang Tong glanced at him and saw that he was determined, so he didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, Manager, I want this cow, but the price is..."

The person in charge had dealt with him before and knew that it was impossible for this person to set a price for the deal. However, he and Sun Dacheng were brothers, so he couldn't even give him any advance payment.

"Five taels and six, brother, this is definitely a fair price."

Fang Tong didn't buy it, and said with a smile: "Four taels!"

Manager Chen grinned and said, "Brother, this is boring. We are all honest people. You can't chop it to death! Five ounces and five ounces!"

Fang Tong glanced at Sun Dacheng.

Sun Dacheng quickly said, "Manager, my brother has come here twice, so please give us a discount. How about 450g?"

Manager Chen looked at him helplessly, and this time he spoke after a long while: "Well, let me make a final offer. Just for Dacheng's sake, no more bargaining!"

He stretched out his hand: "Four ounces and nine!"

Fang Tong nodded this time: "Okay! I'll listen to Manager Chen!"

Sun Dacheng also thanked him, and Manager Chen was so angry that he laughed: "Alright, alright, don't bother me. Pay the money and take your brother to get the paperwork!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Fang Tong paid the silver and went to the yamen to get the paperwork. The ox could be considered a family property.

After this time, Sun Dacheng still went with him and accompanied him to buy ropes and whips, which were all used to hitch the ox to the cart.

On the way, the three brothers chatted as they walked.

"Tiezhu, why did you ask me to pick that end just now?"

"That cow has a big forehead and a wide mouth, but its head is long and thin. The old man said that this kind of cow is strong and agile, and is easy to use."

Sun Dacheng said with a grin, "I think that cow is good too, but since our manager is here, I can't be too obvious. I was thinking of telling you secretly, but luckily Tiezhu saw through it."

He nudged Fang Tong with his elbow and said, "Hey, Brother Fang, I'd like to ask, how did you make your fortune?"

Fang Tong glanced at him, felt in his pocket, and threw something to him.

An unshelled chestnut.

"That's what I want to buy. Go back to your village and see if there's any place nearby that sells it. I'll only buy shelled ones, though. If your village has any, I'll take as many as you can get. Five cents a pound."

He winked, and Sun Dacheng immediately understood. His brother Fang was charging five cents per pound, and if he lowered the price a little, he could make money from the difference!

His brother is showing him the way!
