Since becoming pregnant, Lin Dashan's family has taken care of Gu Qiu even more.Lin Yu'er took over all the work at home, but Gu Qiu, who was used to being hardworking, felt very uncomfortable. Alas, he is just a hard worker and has no time to spare, Gu Qiu shook his head thinking.

Fortunately, there were not many things at home, and Lin Yuer was too busy, and Gu Qiu felt much better.

After being idle at home for a few days, Gu Qiu couldn't sit still.He took away the job of feeding the chickens from Gu Dong, but although there are many chickens in the house now, they have all grown up, and they usually forage for themselves, so feeding the chickens is not a big deal at all.

"Dashan, I've been so idle recently that I'm getting hairy all over my body. I don't think it will delay my work if my elder brother is pregnant." Gu Qiu pulled Lin Dashan and said.

"It's not good to be able to rest, it's really hard work." Lin Yu'er joked.

"My family has a lot of land and many things to do. There is nothing I can do about it. Our family has the conditions, so why don't you take a good rest." Lin Dashan persuaded with a smile.

"Oh." Gu Qiu sighed and shook his head.

Lin Dashan guessed that he might be bored at home, thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow, Jiang Tao and I will go to the county to deliver the last fish, or you can go with us, and when we finish buying the fish, we will go together Walk around the county town."

Gu Qiu nodded after listening, it would be better to go to the county town for a stroll than to stay at home.

The three of them set off early the next morning.Gu Qiu was sitting at the back of the bullock cart, and because they were worried that Gu Qiu would be bumped, the two of them drove slowly.So today I arrived a little later than the previous few times.

As usual, I went to Zuixian Tower first.

Gu Qiu waited outside, and the two helped move the fish to the back kitchen.The shopkeeper of the restaurant got along with Lin Dashan and the others for a few days, and felt that the two had simple personalities, and they gradually became familiar with each other.

"Why are you late today, did you encounter anything on the way?" The shopkeeper asked seeing that they were late.

"Oh, I brought my elder brother here today, so I walked a bit slower on the road, so I didn't delay the business of the hotel." Lin Dashan said neither humble nor overbearing.

The shopkeeper shook his head, "No, you guys came very early, so it won't delay the business."

After forgetting today's money, Lin Dashan and Jiang Tao were about to leave. The shopkeeper of the hotel stopped them, "This fish is gone this year. If you still have some fish next year, remember to send some over. I will keep it here as usual."

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, the two of them looked at each other, and they were both very happy. Now that next year's fish will be found, the two immediately agreed, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, we will be the first one to give you the first one next year." Send it, hehe."

Lin Dashan thought of the extra vegetables at home, and asked: "Shopkeeper, I still have a lot of vegetables at home, do you want them in your restaurant?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "Okay, if you have anything, you can deliver it." Anyway, you have to buy the dishes in the restaurant, and you don't buy them. Lin Dashan and Jiang Tao are two people he can trust, and the fresh dishes from the farmhouse are also delicious good.

After receiving these words from the shopkeeper, Lin Dashan was happier than selling the fish. This is a long-term business deal. In the future, the vegetables they have at home, as well as the chili sauce made by Gu Qiu, can be bought in the county. Come to the largest restaurant Zuixianlou, which is much better than just selling some fish.

The two left the restaurant with smiles on their faces. Seeing the expressions on their faces, Gu Qiu's fish sale should be going well.Jiang Tao still has some things to do at home today, so he went back first.

Lin Dashan took Gu Qiu for a stroll around the city.

The two had agreed before that they would sell the fish in the field and get the money to buy a cow.Now that they were in the county town, the two of them went to the livestock trading market in the county town.

The livestock trading market here was ordered by the county government in the past two years. This move has benefited many people. People come here to buy and sell livestock.

Because there are a lot of animals in the market, there is a wide range of choices, and there are people in the yamen in charge of the market, no one will cause trouble, and there will be no unscrupulous merchants raising prices.

The two of them were not in a hurry, they walked around and arrived at the trading market.

As soon as I entered the trading market, it was really lively and bustling, with the sound of hawking and bargaining.Lin Dashan took Gu Qiu's hand and walked inside.

There are two kinds of livestock buyers in the trading market, one is farmers selling their own livestock, and the other is livestock dealers.Lin Dashan and Gu Qiu are more willing to buy livestock from farmers. First, they feel that the merchants are cunning, and they are easy to be fooled. They are not as easy to deal with as farmers.Moreover, the livestock of the farmer's family have always been used to doing farm work, they are good at pulling carts and plowing the land, and it is easier to get started if they are bought by themselves.

Walking around the market, the two stopped in front of an honest looking old man.What the old man wants to sell is a cow, which is not very old, just when it is young and strong, and this cow looks very docile.

Many people fell in love with the cow and were willing to pay for it, but the old man did not agree to sell it.

"Do you two want to buy a cow? My cow is young and strong. It can do farm work and has a good temper. It has a good head." The old man patted the cow's head and said.

"Old man, are you really here to sell cows?" Gu Qiu liked the cow very much, and touched the cow's head. He asked this question, and was very puzzled by the old man's previous behavior.

"Are you asking me why I don't sell it?" The old man said with a smile, "I bought the golden flower when it was a calf and raised it until it was grown. I don't know how deep the relationship is. I am too old to do farm work. Son, my two sons want to pick me up to live in the county town, so Jinhua can't follow me. I have no choice but to sell it. I have to find a good home for Jinhua, and I can't just sell it for some money."

When the old man was talking, he kept looking at the cow tenderly, and it was obvious that he really had a deep affection for the cow.

Lin Dashan smiled and asked, "Old man, do you think we can buy the golden flower?"

The old man looked at Gu Qiu's hand stroking Jin Hua, and nodded, "You two look like kind-hearted people."

"How much does this cow sell for?" Gu Qiu asked.

"Seven taels of silver."

As soon as the old man's words came out, Gu Qiu and Lin Dashan frowned. The price was too expensive. Their budget was five taels of silver, and seven taels of silver was far beyond their budget.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, the old man paused and said, "Our Jinhua now has a calf in its womb, so naturally it will be more expensive. If you buy one back, there will be more than one in a few months."

Gu Qiu pulled Lalin Dashan's sleeve, "Let's go." Although they thought the cow was good and what the old man said moved their hearts, the price was indeed too high for them to afford.

Lin Dashan glanced at Jinhua, "Old man, the price is too expensive, can it be cheaper, we are destined to be with Jinhua."

The old man shook his head and disagreed with the price reduction, "This is already the most affordable price, and it cannot be lowered."

Seeing that the old man had no intention of lowering the price, Lin Dashan and Gu Qiu had no choice but to leave. They planned to go to other places to have a look.

After walking not far, they heard the mooing of a cow from behind them. As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw Jin Hua turning her head to look at him. The big and wet eyes of the bull were very pitiful. .

The old man patted the cow's head helplessly: "In such a short period of time, you fell in love with him and wanted to leave with him. It's really a waste of raising you."

The old man waved to Gu Qiu and the others, gesturing for them to come over.

"Oh, it seems that Jinhua likes you very much. Forget it, if you want six taels of silver, you can hold it. If you don't, then forget it." The old man said with a painful resolution.

Gu Qiu and Lin Dashan looked at each other and decided to agree. Although the price greatly exceeded their budget, they definitely made money at this price.

Lin Dashan nodded, "We want it."

The old man gave Lin Dashan a white look, and said: "Our Jinhua is not the kind of ordinary cow in the market. There are calves in the belly. You have made a lot of money with six taels of silver. If you let me know that you treat it badly, I will It's not over."

Gu Qiu nodded quickly, "Old man, don't worry, our family members are kind-hearted and will never treat animals harshly."

Seeing Gu Qiu's sincere and gentle face, the old man believed him a little.

"Do you have enough money?"

"I don't have six taels of silver with me now, so I will give you one tael of silver as a deposit first, and I will bring the silver to your home tomorrow to get it. I don't know where the old man is from."

"I'm from Willow Village. Tomorrow at noon, go to the entrance of Willow Village. I'll wait for you there." The old man explained his residence.

After the two parties signed the document, the cow was considered to be bought.

After this major event was settled, the two of them relaxed completely and walked around the county town streets.

Along the way, Lin Dashan held Gu Qiu's hand, and when there were many people, he would stretch out his hand to protect Gu Qiu's body, for fear that Gu Qiu might make a mistake.Gu Qiu enjoyed this kind of care very much.

The two of them ate very early in the morning. Although it is not yet noon, they are already hungry.

"Are you hungry, what would you like to eat?" Lin Dashan asked.

Gu Qiu looked around, pointed to a wonton shop with a good business, and said, "Let's go eat some wontons."

Lin Dashan nodded and led Gu Qiu over.The two ordered two bowls of three delicacies wontons, and bought a few meat-stuffed biscuits to go with them.The wonton soup in this wonton shop is very delicious. It seems to be boiled with various mushrooms. The wonton skin is very thin and the inside is well matched.Gu Qiu didn't eat sesame seed cakes much, but he liked the wontons here.

Seeing this, Lin Dashan ordered another bowl.

Gu Qiu rubbed his belly and drank another bowl happily.

The two were having fun when a dirty little beggar ran over and stared at Gu Qiu with teary eyes.
