Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

The steward asked Wu Yaqing to sell the four old cows, a total of forty taels of silver.

The imperial court strictly controlled the price of beef to prevent people from buying and selling beef privately, so the price of beef was much cheaper than pork.

Wu Yaqing immediately gave the money to the steward, "The four cows are mine."

The steward said quickly, "Yes, it belongs to the girl."

The family is really rich, and they buy it when they say it, without blinking an eye.

Wu Yaqing walked up to the cow, gently touched the cow's head, and said softly, "I've bought you, get up, no one will kill you again."

These cows are very spiritual. After hearing this, they stood up one by one, and then surrounded Wu Yaqing.

Wu Yaqing smiled innocently, "All of you will follow me in a while, and I will take good care of you."

Seeing this scene, Chu Qingzhi smiled, the Empress of Anhuai Kingdom didn't know how well she protected Wu Yaqing, so she could develop Wu Yaqing into such a pure, kind and lovely character.

She turned her head and said to the steward, "Shall we sign the contract?"

"Okay, okay." The steward should be very active, "Miss Chu, please."

Chu Qingzhi nodded and followed the steward to the study.

After a stick of incense, a group of people, several trucks, and four cows left Niu Zhuang and walked towards Chu's Village.

...

After the milk was transported home, it was poured into several large tanks that Chu Qingzhi had prepared in advance, and butter was refined in the afternoon.

After sending the people from Niu Zhuang away, Chu Qingzhi came back and looked at the four cows, thinking, where would it be more appropriate to build a cow pen?

Seeing this, Wu Yaqing asked a little nervously, "Qing Zhi, did I cause you trouble?"

Chu Qingzhi came back to her senses, "No, not only not, you also picked up a fortune and came back. Among the four cows, there is only one old cow, and the other three are just sick. When I feed them some medicine, they It will be fine."

"Really?" Wu Yaqing was pleasantly surprised, "Then can they produce milk?"

Chu Qingzhi laughed, "They won't produce milk until they have calves."

Wu Yaqing hurriedly said, "Then let them give birth to calves."

Chu Qingzhi patted Wu Yaqing on the shoulder, she felt that Yaqing needed to add some common sense, "Let's prepare a cow pen for them first."

Wu Yaqing's attention was diverted, "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't even have a home, and I wouldn't have a place to put it when I gave birth."

Chu Qingzhi, "..."

She asked Wu Yaqing to look after the cattle, and she went to find a place to put them.

Wu Yaqing looked around, then led the cow to the grass in front of the old house to let the cow graze.

The villagers came to watch this scene one after another. In the eyes of the villagers, cows are more precious than horses. Cows can be used to cultivate land, but horses may not be useful to them.

In the past, there were only ten households in the village with cattle, and whenever they plowed the land, the villagers rented cattle from those people.

Later, the conditions improved, and many people bought cattle immediately, which is a status symbol of wealthy households.

"Yaqing, why are you buying so many cows?"

"It's not the time to plow the land now. It takes a lot of food to raise so many."

"These four cows cost a lot of money, right?"

"..."

Wu Yaqing listened to what the villagers were talking about, and said with a smile, "I didn't plan to use them to cultivate the land, so I bought them and let them die of old age!"

All the villagers, "..."

Fang Cuiyun didn't believe what Wu Yaqing said, "Yaqing, are you kidding us?"

Wu Yaqing waved her hand, "What I said is true. They are old cows. If I don't buy them, they will be killed."

All the villagers, "..."

That's not how money is spent, is it?

Fang Cuiyun said hesitantly, "That would be too wasteful."

Wu Yaqing said rudely, "It's okay, it won't cost much."

These words were very hateful, but for such a simple and lovely girl as Wu Yaqing, everyone couldn't hate them. They talked around a few cows for a while, and then slowly dispersed.

It's just that when the person left, his heart was still tied to the four cows. It would cost one or two hundred taels of silver to buy four cows at once, right?

So rich!

As soon as the adults leave, the children gather around again...

"Sister Yaqing, let's take a look at the cow."

Chu Junbao threw a handful of ox grass to the ox, and looked at it enviously. What he envied was not how much it cost to buy a ox, but what he envied was that Wu Yaqing could lead four oxen by himself, which was so majestic.

Wu Yaqing said generously, "Look, just look at it."

A group of children stroked the tail and the horns of the ox, and they couldn't put it down because of their small appearance.

Chu Junbao couldn't help but said, "Sister Yaqing, shall I herd the cows for you?"

"Herding cows?" Wu Yaqing didn't understand, "How do you herd cows?"

Chu Junbao pointed to the hillside beside the village, "Take them over there to graze."

Wu Yaqing looked towards the hillside, and after a while, a thought came to her, "Why don't you graze the cattle for me every day, and I'll give you ten cents a day, how about that?"

Chu Junbao's eyes turned into two small lights, "Is there such a good thing?"

Wu Yaqing said carelessly, "Your elder sister Yaqing is not short of money, so why don't you decide whether you want to do it or not?"

Chu Junbao quickly agreed, fearing that the agreement was too late, Wu Yaqing regretted it, "I will do it, of course I will do it, and I will do it without taking money, let alone taking money."

Wu Yaqing stretched out her hand childishly, "Pull the hook!"

Chu Junbao cooperated with Wu Yaqing to pull the hook to settle the matter.

Chu Qingzhi came out of the old house and waved to Wu Yaqing, "Yaqing, bring the cow back, the cow pen is ready."

"Here we come." Wu Yaqing responded with a loud voice, and then, under the eyes of all the children who were reluctant to part with her, she led the cow home.

"It's so majestic!" Chu Junbao looked straight at him.

The other children were also envious, and kept looking at the cows without taking their eyes off them.

The cow pen that Chu Qingzhi chose was next to the stables. She simply built a circle, and when she was free in the afternoon, she built a shed to shelter the cows from the wind and rain.

After dealing with the matter of the cow, Grandpa Chu and the others also came back from the field

It's almost noon, it's time to go to Li Qingyin's house.

Before leaving, they came to see the cattle...

Grandpa Chu said with emotion, "I never thought our family could afford cattle. We used to borrow land for farming."

Chu Rong felt very sad when he thought of the difficult days before, "Father, let's not mention the past, everything is better now."

Grandpa Chu nodded, with tears in his smile, he waved his hand, "I won't mention it, I won't mention it."

Grandma Chu joked with a smile, "You are a copper pipe smoker, wouldn't buying a cow better reflect your status!"

The sadness in Grandpa Chu's heart went away in an instant, and he cooperated with Grandma Chu and said, "The old lady is right, my family should buy cattle."

Chu Rong smiled, "We can buy whatever Dad wants in the future."

Grandpa Chu nodded in relief, "Okay, okay..."

There was no way to leave the family, so Shen Ruyue was forced to stay at home to look after the house, while the others cleaned up and went to Xujia Village.
