"This cow has a tumor the size of a football in its stomach. It can be removed by surgery. After it is cured, it will be given to Uncle Liu to use for farming. He has difficulty walking and Aunt Liu is nagging, so his life is difficult."

When Liu Xia Lian arrived in the village, she handed the meat and vegetables to her fifth uncle. Her fifth uncle set up a big pot stove in the village square and prepared to treat the farmers to dinner in the evening.

Then they invited Liu Yidao, the best veterinarian in the village. Liu Yidao was not young anymore, in his thirties, and he carried a medicine box on his back.

"Uncle Yidao, can you perform surgery on a cow?"

Liu Yidao curled his lips and said, "Second niece, what are you talking about? I have performed surgery on at least 5,000 animals, including pigs, cows, horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese. I have performed surgery on everything."

"Then I feel relieved. I just bought a sick cow at the market. It has a big tumor in its stomach. I will remove it later. I will use it. I will sew up its stomach again. It will be able to plow the land after it recovers."

"No problem. Just trust my ability, Liu Yidao. Just find a secluded yard and two helpers."

Liu Xia Lian was arranged to live in the old yard of her uncle's house. Not long after, Zhao Yong and Li Daniu came back with the cows. The cows were very tired and drooling.

Liu Yidao neither measured blood pressure nor did he do X-ray, mainly because he didn't have the conditions to do so.

Liu Xialian gestured on the cow's belly and said, "The big tumor is right here, below the gallbladder. Cut it out and bring it to me, then sew the cow up, and the mission is accomplished."

"Okay, the surgery will cost six dollars, and the medicine will cost two dollars."

"Okay, let's get started."

Zhao Yong and Li Daniu helped, and Liu Xia Lian went to the square to see how the big pot dishes were being prepared.

The main purpose of the dinner tonight is to explain the prospects of honeysuckle and salvia miltiorrhiza. The speaker is the uncle, after all, he is the village chief, and his eloquence is more infectious than Liu Xialian.

Before Liu Xialian finished the examination, Zhao Yong came running over and whispered in her ear, "It's over. This Liu Yidao is a jack of all trades. He cut off the tumor and the gallbladder. There was heavy bleeding and the cow must have been killed. You should go and have a look."

When Liu Xialian came over, Liu Yidao looked embarrassed: "The light was bad, and my hands were shaking accidentally."

"Don't worry, Uncle Yidao. I can't blackmail you, but you have to kill the cow for me, okay?"

"No problem, no problem. You must not say that I killed him during the operation. Just say that he fell on the road and I won't take the money. Okay?"

"Well, I have to give Uncle Yidao some face. I'll say he died from a fall."

Liu Yidao spent more than two hours butchering the cow. Liu Xialian said to her uncle, "Please treat the whole village to free beef. This must be several hundred kilograms of meat, and we can't finish it all."

The uncle said, "Don't give it away for free. I'll call and sell the good meat. The remaining offal can be eaten by everyone for free."

"Okay, then I don't care. Uncle, you five brothers can share the money. I don't want it."

The uncle praised: "Xia Lian has really grown up and is so generous. Then I will arrange to sell it. I estimate that it can be sold for a thousand yuan."

Dayong and Daniu came along to help, and the two of them even wanted to eat beef together.

Liu Xia Lian and Zhao Hua returned to the car and opened the football-sized tumor, finding yellow bezoar inside.

It's too hot, I dare not do this.

Liu Xialian went to her uncle's house and called the herbal medicine merchant, Manager Yang. It took a while before the call was connected: "Hello, who is this?"

"I, Xia Lian, have something to ask you. I got a piece of bezoar from a cow's stomach. It weighs about four or five kilograms. Can you find a buyer for me?"

"What? Four or five kilograms of bezoar? Oh my god, you've made a fortune. Bezoar costs about 60 yuan per gram. Where are you? I'll come to you right away."

"I'm in Linyi, Shandong. Find a buyer quickly. I don't know how to keep it. Don't let it go bad."

"Wait a minute, I'll contact him right away. I have a friend over there who does this business."

"Okay, then please contact me as soon as possible."

Zhao Hua, who was standing nearby, had a brain short circuit. She bought a cow for 1,400 yuan, helped the old man in trouble, distributed the meat to the uncles and aunts, and distributed the offal to the villagers. Everyone praised her, but she was still counting the money, counting the most money.

"Four or five kilograms, 60 yuan per gram, doesn't that mean it can be sold for at least 150,000 or 160,000 yuan?"

"Shh, stop talking. It will be terrible if the villagers find out."

"Will Liu Yidao know?"

"He probably doesn't know. He took it out and Daniu brought it over. Liu Yidao didn't see what was inside either. No one would believe him if he told others about it. Don't worry about him."

Zhao Hua was really convinced. Other people's money was being spent less and less, but his wife's money was being spent more and more. She donated, borrowed, and spent all kinds of money, probably tens of thousands of yuan. Who would have thought that she would get it all back by buying a sick cow? How could he complain?

After more than ten minutes, Manager Yang called.

"Xia Lian, your place is not far from Jinan, right? You can send it to Jinan. I will tell you the address."

"Okay, I'll write it down."

Liu Xia Lian took a pen and wrote down the address. This was a friend of Manager Yang in Jinan who dealt in precious medicinal materials. He had the financial resources to buy it. After all, goods worth hundreds of thousands were beyond the reach of an ordinary small businessman.

"Just peel off the skin of the bezoar and put it in a wooden box lined with straw paper. It will be fine if you leave it there for three or two days."

"Okay then. Thank you, Manager Yang. I'll go there tomorrow."

In the evening, we originally planned to invite honeysuckle growers to dinner, but ended up with an extra cow. We sold more than 1,000 yuan of beef, and there were a lot of beef bones and offal left, so we invited the whole village to dinner instead. It was a lively occasion, with 600 to 700 people, men, women, young and old, all coming.

Cows are an important productive force these days, used to pull carts and plow fields. Who wouldn’t be willing to eat beef? As soon as they heard that beef was available, everyone came.

Just as the poem says, the roasted meat was distributed to his subordinates over an area of ​​eight hundred miles.

The adults were chatting animatedly, and the children were having a blast. There was pork and beef. The vegetables Liu Xialian bought were definitely not enough, but the village could not be without vegetables.

Even Liu Yidao pretended nothing happened and came to eat beef.

Liu Fuhong and his wife were busy packing. Liu Xia Lian said that there was something urgent and they would leave early tomorrow morning at dawn.

His brother wanted to go, but changed his mind and decided not to go. However, four female workers in the village were willing to work in the kimchi factory, so Liu Xialian agreed. They were all from the same village, so they would be treated the same. If they did a good job, they would be promoted, and if they did not, they would be scolded.

Liu Xia Lian brought a lot of gifts to everyone when she returned from this trip, and everyone was busy preparing gifts in return.

Finally, we selected the most representative old roosters from Linyi, and nine of the best old roosters were chosen.

There were five uncles, two aunts, and two cousins. Each family brought back a big rooster. There were originally many local specialties, but Liu Xialian confiscated them all.
