Unexpectedly, a year has passed and Liao Chi has turned one year old. He cries less and no one calls out his nickname of "I'm not full." Naturally, he and the adults ate a lot of meat from cattle, sheep and other livestock.
He rarely drank milk, including milk. He gradually stopped breastfeeding, and his cows became cows. The reason was that other wives gave birth to children. In order to make up for the lack of milk, most of them came to him. After greeting each other, he would carry a bowl or bowl to the cow's belly to collect the milk. Of course, he would stretch out one hand and slowly squeeze the milk until it was full.
In this way, his cows naturally became dairy cows. At first, he volunteered to pick him up several times, and when he came to pick him up again, Liao Hao said to the visitor, you should also add some nutrition to the cows. Having said that, every time the milk collector comes, he usually gives a basin of soy milk for the cows to drink. Liao Hao felt that he had not gained much benefit, so he discussed with Xu Qinqin that his family would go to the belly of the cow to milk the milk, store it in a pot, and sell it on the street. So people nearby who need milk say, "I'll pay for it. How much does it cost per pound?"
Three yuan a pound. Liao Hao was a little embarrassed to answer this, so he explained: Originally, it was okay to give some milk to the neighborhood babies to drink, but the problem was that the number of quarantines was too many and the cost was high, so he wanted to make some money by selling some milk as the milk comes from the cow. Make up for the shortfall in quarantine investment.
After another year, the calf grew up and became an adult cow. Because of its white hair, the herdsmen called it a white cow. Xu Qinqin wanted to sell it and get some money to buy toys for Liao Chi to entertain him in his childhood.
Ma Xiangzhi, who often helps his family, suggested that it is best not to sell it, as your family will suffer losses if it is sold. Do you know that this white cow is a female. It was bred with my bull and is now pregnant with a calf. If it is sold, wouldn't it mean that others will take advantage of it? It looked like they had taken away one cow, but it was actually two cows, because it would not be long before the cows gave birth to calves.
Liao Hao said, if this is the case, can we just raise the price of cattle?
well! I said Brother Liao, if you sell it, it is equivalent to selling a milk-producing machine. Now your cow can make money for your family by producing milk. If this white cow gives birth to a calf, turn it into a If you have one cow, your family will have two cows producing milk. If two cows produce milk, your economic income will be doubled.
Your mind is really bright. Liao Hao praised Ma Xiangzhi for what she said. Ma Xiangzhi smiled and said, you have to thank my bull. Otherwise, how could your Niu mother and daughter become two milk-producing cow mothers?
You mean, your big yellow bull has merit?
yes! When you get rich, you should be rewarded based on your merits.
What Ma Xiangzhi really meant was that she should thank her family. If their family had not allowed the rhubarb bull to breed, the female cow might still be a virgin and it would be impossible to give birth to a calf. Liao Hao understood a little bit of the meaning and said in a clear tone, do you want our family to cut some good grass to reward your big yellow bull?
I didn't mean that, that's what you said. Ma Xiangzhi answered with a smile.
Liao Hao was still thinking about what Ma Xiangzhi said, and thought to himself: It would be great if the white cow was pregnant with a male calf this time. When it grows up, it can also play the role of the big yellow bull.
As luck would have it, a few months later, Liao Hao's white cow actually gave birth to a male calf. Liao Hao was very happy because in the future, he would not have to look for Ma Xiangzhi’s rhubarb bull for breeding. What's more coincidental is that Ma Xiangzhi also gave birth to a baby, and it was a baby.
Her man is Hu Jun, a tea merchant who traffics brick tea from Hunan and Hubei to Mongolia and processes it into milk tea, which is very popular. Making milk tea requires purchasing a large amount of milk.
Hu Jun often said to Ma Xiangzhi, who was breastfeeding her child: Go outside and check out the situation with me and see where fresh milk is sold. Ma Xiangzhi immediately thought of the two cows of Liao Hao's family. The white cow's milk was used for the calves, and the milk of the big cow could be sold to her. But she didn't want to buy, she just wanted to get some for free. She thought it wouldn't be a problem, because the two female cows of Liao Hao's family were bred to her big yellow bull and gave birth to calves, and then they became dairy cows. Now she asked him for some Milk, it should be said that he was embarrassed to charge for milk.
But if he knew that her family was getting milk to make milk tea to make money, Liao Hao would be unhappy and might find a reason to refuse. Ma Xiangzhi was fat and her breasts were bulging. If she told Liao Hao that her milk supply was not enough for the baby, he would never believe it. For this reason, she thought of a way and found Liao Hao, pretending that she had a severe cough and cold, and maybe there was a virus in the milk. Now she had to go to his house to get some fresh milk for the child.
Liao Hao was originally unwilling, because if she came to get it, it would be like giving it away, and it would also mean that her family would make less milk money, but it was difficult to refuse because Ma Xiangzhi usually took care of his family too much, and Ma Xiangzhi's rhubarb bull was still there. Made a contribution. Taking this into consideration, I said that the big cow can produce milk, but the white cow cannot. Its milk must be supplied to the calf.
I know this. Ma Xiangzhi came to the field, filled a jug of milk under the belly of the big cow, and left. Liao Hao looked at it and always felt that he had lost something. I thought to myself: Next time I come to milk the cow, I have to find a reason to refuse her the advantage.
Sure enough, the next time, Ma Xiangzhi brought a pot and prepared to milk the big cow. Just when Liao Hao was about to stop him, Xu Qinqin pulled him aside and whispered, Ma Xiangzhi has helped our family a lot, please take some milk. What kind of? Besides, we have two cows. He takes a small pot every day and has little impact. People should repay kindness.
It was a morning when sparrows were chirping. The sparrow flying on the top of the door even dropped a feather, which landed in front of Liao Hao's eyes. Liao Hao had no intention of looking at it, but said to Xu Qinqin, "You Do you know how much this jug of milk can be sold for?
Don't talk so much. Xu Qinqin was very benevolent and answered with a frown. The reason why our two cows became dairy cows was inseparable from the contribution of their big yellow bull. For this reason, what does it mean if she only receives a little milk?
Liao Hao said that without their rhubarb bull, our two cows can still become dairy cows. There are many bulls on the east side of the grassland, so you can choose as you like.
Of course, this is a choice, but it is a fact that our cows choose their rhubarb bulls, and we should be grateful. What Xu Qinqin said made sense, but Liao Hao remained silent and had no words to refute. He always felt that he had suffered a loss.
At this moment, Ma Xiangzhi walked through the scene carrying a pot of milk, saying hello to Liao Hao and his wife, thank you, and thank you even more for your cows.
well! Xu Qinqin nodded, but Liao Hao muttered, "What do you mean by thanking our cows?" If I don't let you take milk from my cow, you can only stare.
Ma Xiangzhi may have sensed something. She used to come to collect milk almost every day, but later, she only came to receive milk every two or three days. Liao Hao was unhappy in his heart, but he had a smiling face on the outside. He came up with a way to deal with Ma Xiangzhi, but now he said to her enthusiastically, "What do you want you to do?" Can I just pick up a jug of milk and deliver it to your house every day?
Is this okay? I've come to pick up the milk so many times that I'm embarrassed, and I have to ask you to deliver it in person. Wouldn't it make it even more unaffordable? Ma Xiangzhi looked at him with a look of shame.
Nothing, nothing. Liao Hao is thinking in his heart, I want to make your happiness in vain.
