After queuing up to pay the tax grain, noon was almost over. After lunch, the Sang family left three bags of wheat for planting and eating, so they moved the remaining less than twenty bags of wheat to three flatbed trucks one by one.

The Sang family only had one flatbed car, and the other two were borrowed from the family they had friends with. Sang Hushi Sang Lin and his son pulled one to the town, while several women followed behind him. When they encountered a steep slope, they pushed them with their hands.

All the adults in the family were dispatched. Except for Huan'er who was going to the town, the remaining children were left at home. It was not that the children didn't want to go, but there were a lot of people in the town recently, either people selling grain from all over the country, or grain dealers who came to collect grain from the county town or other places. If there were too many children, they would be unable to take care of it. If any accident happened, it would be troublesome.

There is a main road leading to Taoyuan Town in Lijia Village. It is said that the main road is only two flatbed cars. The road is not flat, and it is often encountered with dirt pits or steep slopes. It is quite difficult for the Sang family to walk. It originally took only half an hour to get empty-handed, which would have to be at least twice as long.

The group was the easiest thing about Huan'er. He was carried by his uncle Mangshu to the flatbed cart, and focused on playing with the few dog-tail grass that his mother had broken for him.

After finally pushing the flatbed cart and walking on a long steep slope, Mulberry leaves wiped the sweat beads from their foreheads, and said to Mu with unstable breath: "Mom, let's buy a cow!"

The cattle are strong, not only can they cultivate land, but also pull carts and mill rice fields to harvest food. Not only can they save manpower, but they can also be much more relaxed. They will not be as thin as they are now, and the thick cocoons that have been ground on their shoulders cannot be removed.

Before Mu could reply, Yu, who was resting with his waist on his back, burst into laughter: "My sister-in-law, you can't buy this cow just by saying that you can buy it. Not to mention whether there is a cow or not, even if there is one, our family can't afford it."

Sang Ye only knew that Daqing's beef is very precious, and it is illegal to slaughter cattle at will. If you eat beef that has not passed Minglu, you will be beaten to jail. However, you don't know the price of beef, so you asked curiously: "Is beef very expensive and difficult to buy?"

It would be nothing if it was just a little more expensive, but it would be a big problem if there was a price but no market.

Mu took over the conversation and said in detail: "It's not that old people are expensive. A half-year-old calf costs seven or eight taels of silver. A big bull that can contribute is even more expensive. Fifteen taels of silver may not be able to buy it. Look at the nearby villages, there are four or five families, but there are only three or five families with cows. One is that the price is expensive and the other is that it is difficult to buy. You have to find a way."

"That's very expensive..." Sang Ye was speechless when he heard this. He really didn't expect that buying a cow would take so much effort.

You should know that one tael of silver here costs 1,000 cents. You can buy an egg for one cent. The coarse grains are only 2,500 cents per pound, and the refined flour will not exceed 8 cents...

By doing this, a cow can be exchanged for 6,000 kilograms of coarse grains, which is enough for a family of ten to eat for nearly two years! If you want to buy a cow, not to mention whether the merchants can find a way, it is difficult to afford it even if they find it.

I think most people think buying cows is not cost-effective. Anyway, the work in the field can be done with a harder time. Buying cows can save a lot of money. If you don’t buy them, you will naturally not buy them.

Sang Ye quickly thought about the money on hand. In addition to the few silver notes that she could not move, although she spent most of her own money on the way back, there were still thirty or forty taels left. It was more than enough to buy a cow. The key was to find a way to buy it, and the expenses were difficult to determine.

Having a scheming in his heart, Sang Ye said to Mu, "Mom, are there any cattle dealers in Taoyuan Town? If there is one, we will go and have a look after the food sold later. If you can't afford it now, it doesn't mean you can't afford it in the future."

"Oh? Do you really want to buy it?" Mu Shi was excited when she heard this, and Sang Hushi and others' desire for cows was also aroused.

"That's right, the eldest sister is right. If our family can't afford it now, it doesn't mean it can't afford it in the future. Our family is now starting to save the money to buy cows. I don't believe that our family can save enough money to buy cows." Mangshu turned his head and said loudly while pulling the cart.

Sang Hushi, who was walking in the front, did not speak, but stopped, and his expression of excitement could not be hidden on his face.

The three of them felt the most deeply how tiring and hard work in the field were. Every year, the three of them were all in the family like cows, bowing and plowing. After a day, their bones were as if they had broken apart, and their shoulders were even more painful and painful as they were strangled by ropes.

If there is a cow, the family will be more relaxed. If you wait, you can pull a ox cart to help people carry goods. The delivery of goods is a good input, which is much better than farming.

Yu and Liu looked at each other and saw approval in each other's eyes. Both sisters-in-law felt sorry for their men. No matter how much the price was, as long as the family could buy cows, they would never object.

Huan'er, who didn't know what the cow represents, was infected by the excitement of the adults. She showed off a few little white teeth and said to her mother: "Mom, buy cows and buy them with Huan'er's silver."

Yu Shi laughed and patted Huan'er's little head and joked: "You still buy it with your money. Come on, come on, tell my aunt how much money you have, you can afford a cow."

Huan'er took this as a matter of truth, frowned and thought about his aunt's problem, and finally looked at his mother in a tangled manner and said embarrassedly: "I don't know how many Huan'er has, they are all in her hands."

"Haha, Huan'er is so good, she knows to hand over the money to her mother for her."

Yu touched Huan'er several times again, and praised her very much, but she didn't take her nephew's words seriously.

Even if my sister-in-law has money on hand, how much can she have? The expenses are quite high throughout the journey. Maybe she has spent it all. She will not have any idea of ​​buying a cow.

Others didn't take Huan'er's words to heart, and they didn't think that their daughter (sister) had a lot of money in their hands, and they wouldn't plot against them even if they had them.

Sang Ye smiled helplessly, patted his son's head without explaining anything.

She didn't mean to hide the money from her family, but she was hard to explain the source of this large amount of money. After all, she has been away from home for more than ten years, and she is just a maid from a wealthy family. It is normal for her husband to marry. How should she explain the amount of money with her?

Moreover, when she returned to Lijia Village, she was to fulfill the original owner's wish and fulfilled her filial piety to Sang's father and mother for her; she was forced to do so. Once she told the origin of the money, it was not only not good for the Sang family, but it was very likely that she would cause unnecessary trouble or even disasters because of the excessive talk. She had to be cautious about these...
