Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space
Chapter 432 What a bargain
Farmers are so simple, just like going hunting or picking wild fruits. Whoever hunts the wild animals belongs to them, and whoever picks the wild fruits naturally belongs to the same family.
Qiao Ran subdued ten cows by herself and gave eight of them to the Qiao family. They all had no objection.
If it weren't for Qiao Ran, they wouldn't have been able to find those cows, let alone bring back so many cows.
The Qiao family has been given eight out of ten, and there are still several big bison left that can pull the plow! At that time, everyone can discuss it and arrange a date to plow the fields in batches.
Qiao Ran saw that no one was fighting for it and wanted to give all the cattle she had subdued to the Qiao family. She smiled and shook her head:
"Uncles, my family really can't use so many cows. If we really want to divide it, then I want the injured big bison! I can heal its injury, and let it follow my family from now on. .”
"How is that possible? Because of you, we were able to capture so many cattle. How can we not get a few strong and intact big bison for your family! How can we give you injured cattle?"
Daddy Stone disagreed. The big bison was injured by several hoes and shovels. I'm afraid it will take a while to recover from the injury!
Spring planting is about to begin now, and before transplanting the rice seedlings, the paddy field must be raked again to make the ground smooth before the rice seedlings can be planted.
If the Qiao family wanted this injured bison, they might not be able to make a plow!
Qiao Ran took out a small porcelain bottle from the cloth bag, shook it, and said: "It doesn't matter, I have wound medicine. I just sprinkled some powder on the cow. I have sprinkled some powder on its wound in the past few days. In a few days, The sky will be fine."
Seeing her say this, Dad Shitou didn't know what to say.
The old village chief also felt that Qiao Ran only wanted one cow, so he insisted on letting her choose a few more.
Qiao Ran said: "My family really doesn't want so many cows, otherwise it will be troublesome to raise them! A few cows eat a lot of grass every day. I'm afraid Xiaodong and the others won't be able to feed so many cows. Besides, my family has to raise two more cows." It’s a fish pond, and I’ll have to mow the grass to feed the fish after a while, so I’ll be really busy.”
"Hey, if that's the case, then if everyone gives you money, just treat it as buying those cows from you!"
Li Daqiang had an idea and suggested.
The old village chief nodded in agreement:
"Daqiang is a good idea. These cows should belong to your family. Since you don't want so many, let's buy them from you! Apart from yours, there are still more than a dozen cows left. Our whole village If dozens of families don’t have enough to share, let’s share it together! Let’s hold a village meeting later and ask families who are willing to buy cows together to contribute money to buy these cows, and then everyone can raise and use them together.”
Daddy Stone and the others all agreed.
Cows are very rare. Most people only keep one or two cows and would not sell them unless there are special circumstances.
Therefore, if you want to buy cattle, you can only go to the carriage and horse dealership in the city to try your luck.
If you are lucky, you may come across a few better cows that you can buy back for farming. If you are not lucky, you may only sell sick and old cows, and those restaurants or wealthy families will buy them back and kill them for meat.
It is not easy for the villagers to buy suitable cattle, not to mention that each of these bison is so strong and powerful, which is much better than the cattle raised by other farmers.
Moreover, they want to build a house now, and they can't afford to buy another cow for the family at once. It is undoubtedly the best choice for everyone to buy these bison together, raise them with the whole village, and share them together.
When Qiao Ran saw that everyone agreed to pool their money to buy those cows, she quickly refused and said:
"Grandpa village chief, uncles, you really don't need to give me money! This cow was found in our Devil's Valley, it belongs to everyone, and everyone in the village has a share. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to save so many cows. Bring the cow back. We all don’t have much money now, so we should save some money to buy some necessities for our families! I really don’t have any shortage of money.”
"We know you are not short of money, but it is your business to have money, and it is our business to buy cattle! We cannot take advantage of you just because you are not short of money!"
Li Daqiang said seriously.
Others agree.
One person didn't want it, but several people insisted on giving it, and they couldn't stop arguing for a while.
Qiao Ran suddenly thought that the newly born calf seemed to be the calf of the injured cow, so she said:
"I don't want money, just another calf! The calf just now seems to have been born by the injured cow. The calf hasn't been weaned yet, so I'll take it together, okay?"
Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect that Qiao Ran just wanted another calf instead of hundreds of taels of silver.
The old village chief nodded: "Of course it is possible. I will give you the calf and the money. There are several cows. A big and strong bison like this can be sold for at least thirty or forty taels of silver, right? Even if we want to go outside Even if you buy it, you won’t be able to buy such a good cow! No matter what, it’s all our profit.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Not to mention that you can't buy such a good cow, even if you can buy it, one will cost at least thirty or forty taels of silver. If a family buys one, it will definitely not be able to afford it now.
But everyone pooled their money together to buy it, and each family only had to contribute a few taels of silver. If the family saved a little or worked more diligently, they could go hunting and sell skins after work, and they could also raise a few taels of silver.
For just a few taels of silver, you can have oxen to work with, and you no longer need manpower to plow and harrow the fields. That saves a lot of trouble and is a great deal.
Everyone was willing to pay, but Qiao Ran refused to ask for anything.
In the end, no one could convince her, so they had to give the injured cow and the smallest calf to the Qiao family, and the rest of the cows were shared with the villagers.
After discussing the distribution of cattle, Qiao Ran originally wanted to discuss the glutinous rice mortar with everyone.
But the wall was just built with glutinous rice mortar today, and the effect will not be visible until tomorrow morning. Although she is confident that the method she read online is feasible, but for everyone to accept it, they still need to see the actual effect.
Therefore, she thought about it and decided not to talk about it until she tested the effect of the wall with Cao Dashan tomorrow.
That night, the people of Qingshui Village held another village meeting.
Everyone heard that Qiao Ran was willing to leave more than a dozen cows to everyone. When she only wanted an injured cow and the smallest calf, they all sighed again at Qiao Ran's generosity and selflessness.
No one objected to the suggestion that everyone raise and use cattle together.
These cows are obtained for free. You only need to cut some grass every day to feed the cows. When the cows are needed, they will be used in sequence.
There are more than a dozen cows, and each company takes turns using one, which does not delay the farming time. It is better than using human shoulders to pull the rake until the back is sore and the skin is worn out.
Because there are still several families in the village who have cattle, the old village chief also suggested that if those families do not use the cattle in the village, the villagers will compensate them with some money. After all, everyone has contributed to catching the cattle.
However, those families refused to ask for any money at all.
Qiao Ran was able to give away so many cows that belonged to her to everyone without charging a penny. They had no loss. They just went to help catch the bison. How could they accept money from the villagers?
Qiao Ran was very pleased to see that everyone in the village was humble and accommodating. No one had selfish motives and no one wanted to take advantage.
Early the next morning, Qiao Ran went to the construction site to test the effect of the glutinous rice mortar with Cao Dashan.
