After Zheng Lin and Zhang Niuyi had almost had a chat, Sang Laoshi, who was reminded by his daughter, tried his best to invite the two to a restaurant for dinner.
Although I don’t know the Sang family’s background, from their simple clothes, Zheng Lin and Zhang Niuyi saw that they were not rich, so they politely refused.
Sang made up his mind honestly, and how could the other party give up if he refused a few words? In the end, Zheng Lin and Zhang Niuyi had no choice but to agree helplessly.
Zheng Lin often went to the city and was very familiar with the county town. He specially suggested to the Sang family a tavern that was delicious and cheap. Under his suggestion, Zhang Niuyi did not drink alcohol during the first time when he was having a meal because it was inconvenient to entertain guests in the afternoon.
The food in the tavern is indeed very affordable. It only cost less than 100 cents a meal, which made Mangshu, who had been in the restaurant for the first time but couldn't eat peacefully.
However, Sang Ye felt sorry for not being able to find useful news in this tavern, but it was hard to inquire with Zhang Niuyi, so as not to expose things that should not be exposed.
Not long after returning to the "Lao Zhang Niu Restaurant", the batch of cows that Zhang Niuyi mentioned arrived.
"Dad, big sister, look, there are so many cows!" As soon as he walked into Guanniu's yard, he suddenly saw the mulberry tree with more than 20 cows shouting excitedly.
Before Sang Yesang could respond honestly, Sang Shu suddenly realized that he had never seen the world before, especially outsiders were present. He scratched his head awkwardly for a moment, and silently ran to the side of the cow pen to look at the cow.
Sang Yesang's honest mother and daughter naturally would not laugh at their brother (son). Zheng Lin and Zhang Niuyi are not surprised. After all, many people reacted this way when they first saw so many cows.
There are indeed a lot of cattle in this batch, with a total of twenty-five. Among them, ten of them can be cultivated directly, and the remaining fifteen are calfs that are half a year to a year old. They need to be covered with cattle condoms and trained for several months or even a year before they can cultivate the land and pull the cart.
Of course, these cattle are different due to differences in size, age and strength. According to the market, the cheapest calf costs at least seven or eight taels of silver, and the most expensive adult cattle may not be able to buy twenty taels of silver.
Sang Hushi has never raised cattle and has no experience in selecting cattle. He looked around for a while and felt that the big and small calf had their own advantages and was still unsure of his mind. He couldn't help asking his daughter next to him: "Sanya, which cow is better to look at?"
Sang Ye's eyes swept across the more than 20 cows one by one, and he couldn't see anything. He whispered to his father: "Dad, my daughter doesn't understand this either. You can ask Zhang Niuyi for advice. After all, he is in this business, and no one present knows better than him."
When Sang Hushi heard this, he slapped his thighs and said, "Oh, why didn't Dad think of this? Sanya is still smart." After that, he hurriedly walked towards Zhang Niuyi and others who were standing by the door waiting for them to pick up the cows, and told him his request.
"Okay, since Uncle Sang has believed me, I promise to pick a good cow for Uncle Sang."
Zhang Niuyi agreed very happily. Anyway, he sold the cow to the Sang family, so he only planned to recover the cost. He never thought of earning the money from the Sang family. He would sell it no matter which end. He would have a favor for the Sang family.
He is indeed an expert. After a while, Zhang Niuyi picked a five-year-old strong cow for the Sang family. This cow is the best-quality among the ten adult cows.
Sang Ye and others looked at it again and again, and couldn't pick out any bad things about this big yellow cow. Just as Sang was about to make a decision, Zheng Lin, who had never spoken suddenly pointed to another adult yellow cow in the cow pen and said, "Uncle Sang, let's buy that one!"
Everyone looked in the direction Zheng Lin pointed and saw an adult cow tied in the corner.
Although they are both cows, the ones selected by Zheng Lin are not as good as those selected by Zhang Niuyi. Sang honestly compared them, not knowing who should follow.
However, Zhang Niuyi was unhappy and shouted at Zheng Lin: "Are you questioning your brother's vision? Do you dare to say that the cow you chose is not the best among these cows?"
Zheng Lin's expression remained unchanged, and pointed to the scalpers selected by his friend and said in a harmonious voice: "The cow has a good quality, but no matter how good a cow is raised, it will not work for at most twenty years.
It’s better to buy the one I’ve chosen by my younger brother. After a year or two, my appearance will be no worse than the one I’ve chosen.”
There is another thing Zheng Lin didn't say that the potential bull he chose was cheaper than the strong bull he chose. Even if it was only half a tael of silver, it would save a considerable amount of money for the Sang family.
Zhang Niuyi was stunned and carefully compared the cow he selected with the cow he selected. In the end, he had to admit that his friend's vision was very accurate, so that the Sang family could buy better cows with the least amount of money.
Although he admitted that he was not considering it carefully, Zhang Niuyi was somewhat depressed when he thought of being slandered by his friends he had been with for many years.
He glanced at his friend and happened to see his friend's eyes secretly falling on Sang's opposite side. He rolled his eyes and cursed "to emphasize sex over friends". He even made up his mind to get a good friend tonight, preferably getting drunk and getting the words out of his heart.
Thinking of this, Zhang Niuyi showed a scheming and obscene smile on his face.
In the end, the Sang family spent 14 taels and 50 cents to buy the two-year-old yellow cow suggested by Zheng Lin at a cost price. This yellow cow has been trained and it is no problem to pull a cart on the ground. It can be used after buying it, which is very worry-free.
This price is five cents lower than the psychological price of the Sang Family Masters. Of course, Zhang Niuyi did not say that it was sold at the cost price. The Sang Family Masters only thought that Zhang Niuyi made less money from his acquaintances, and he was very grateful.
After thanking again, the three masters of the Sang family led the newly bought big yellow cow and bid farewell to Zheng Lin and Zhang Niuyi, happily leaving along the way he came.
"Okay, why are you watching when you've gone far away?" Seeing that the Sang family was gone, and the friend was still standing at the door, Zhang Niuyi couldn't help but complain, and then instigated: "If you really like someone, wouldn't it be enough to ask the matchmaker to come to propose marriage?"
Zheng Lin withdrew his gaze and didn't even look at Zhang Niuyi. He walked into the house and said, "If you talk nonsense again, you can find someone else on this trip south!"
When Zhang Niuyi heard this, he immediately closed his mouth. Until Zheng Lin's shadow could not be seen, he muttered in a low voice: "I know that I threatened an honest person like me. You guy is so capable, but you took him on the couch and became a wife!"
She had already walked away and was thinking about how to stay in the city for a night. Sang Ye, who was interested in inquiring about the news, didn't know the little episode she caused. She watched her father and brother who were walking with wind, wishing she could fly back with wings. She sighed silently in her heart, and simply did not hurry up for those things for the time being, and would not find a chance to enter the city next time...
