See you in the world

chapter 47
Hearing Yunjing's words, Yunlin was taken aback, and forgot to pass the straw to Yunshan.

Regarding the proposal of buying a cow, to be honest, Yunlin is still very tempted, a cow, which farmer would not want to own one?That is the most important labor force for a farmer's family. One cow can work as much as several adult laborers, and it works faster.

For example, the family of the richest man in the village, Yun Dajun, has a big buffalo. His family’s nearly [-] mu of land is the most in the village, but because of a cow, his family’s land is the first to be planted every year. How important it is.

Moreover, besides farming, cattle can also bring extra income to a family. Still take the family of the richest man in the village, Yun Dajun, his family’s cattle can also go to pull goods to earn money during the slack season. The villagers don’t know how much envious.

Although in Xiaoxi Village not only Yun Dajun's family has cattle, but in a word, cattle are treasures in the farmhouse, and are often more precious than people.

Thinking of the many benefits of owning a cow, Yunlin subconsciously began to calculate.

He murmured: "Our family has about 47 taels of silver. If we build a house, the bricks and tiles needed for three brick houses are estimated to cost 15 taels. We can go to the forest to chop wood. The cost is negligible, about 20 taels. It took about two months to build the carpenters and masons. The wages of the carpenters and masons probably cost five taels of silver. Small workers and the like asked the villagers for help. , the building tax of two taels of silver, the government is too dark, no wonder the villagers would rather live in a dilapidated place than pay that money for building a house. Although I have money now, I am still a little reluctant..., and then add up the miscellaneous estimates I still have to spend four or five taels of silver to go out, so conservatively calculated, there will be about [-] taels of silver left in the end, which should be enough to buy a cow..."

During his calculations, he also mixed in some complaints about private goods to the government, but in the end he came to the conclusion that if he bought a cow, the family could barely afford it.

But if the house is built and the cattle are bought, his family will become poor again.

In the end, his heart skipped a beat. He was building a house and buying cattle. This house seemed to be inflated unknowingly...

But the problem is that if you think about it, it can really be realized!
Yunlin, who had been poor all his life, was in a trance, feeling a bit like dreaming, and things that he had never dared to think about in the past unexpectedly began to come true so unknowingly.

Don't worry about being hungry, live in a new house, and have cows, isn't it really a dream?

Then the circles of his eyes started to turn red, thinking of his dead wife, the drought hit ten years ago, almost no harvest in the field, Yunjing's grandma was starved to death...

She failed to live the good life she is now, and followed her in poverty for decades, and finally ended up starving to death. God is so cruel to her!

"Father, you don't really want to buy a cow, do you? Did you take Xiaojing's nonsense seriously?" Seeing that Yunlin hadn't moved for a long time, Yunshan couldn't help but look down at him and stare in amazement.

Sniffing, Yun Lin looked up at him and asked, "You don't want to have a cow at home?"

"I want to, of course I want to, I dream about it, if there is a cow at home, I don't know how easy it is to work, I wish I could sleep with the cow upstairs every day, but with our family's conditions, can we really afford a cow?" Yun Shan nodded and scratched his head again.

Hearing his words, Jiang Susu, who was wearing shoe soles by the fire pond, gave him a blank look and said, "Then if our family buys a cow from now on, you can go to the cow pen to sleep with the cow."

"Hey, how can it be, the daughter-in-law is still holding the incense", Yun Shan winked and laughed.

Jiang Susu hurriedly lowered her head, her cheeks flushed slightly, and said, "Bah, there's no one doing right."

Yunlin coughed in embarrassment and said, "If you want to buy a cow, I did some calculations just now. It shouldn't be a big problem. If it really doesn't work, let's quietly make some candy and sell it."

"That is to say, Dad, are you absolutely going to buy a cow? Will our family have a cow?" Yun Shan raised his voice and said in surprise, grasping the key point, and almost fell off the ladder. One can imagine how excited he was inside.

Yun Lin quickly helped the stairs and reproached him: "Be careful, don't fall, you are a father now, not stable at all, and I suddenly realized that buying a cow is probably imperative, The villagers already know about the farmyard manure, and it may be difficult to get manure in the wild in the future. If we buy a cow and come back, our family will not be short of farmyard manure.”

Buying cattle can not only work, but also earn some extra money sometimes. It is equivalent to buying a manure machine. It has multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

Thinking of the many benefits, Yun Shan suddenly said with a silly smile: "Our family is about to have a cow, it's great to have a cow."

"Don't be too happy. Whether it's building a house or buying a cow, it's the next year's business. Let's fix the roof now." Yunlin shook his head and smiled. He was also very happy in his heart, full of endless hope for the future vision.

"Yes, let's repair the roof first. I don't know why. I feel like I can't run out of energy now. It seems that the weather is not so cold. I can't wait to dig two acres of land to calm down, hehe," Yunshan said with a smile, Gao Happy to repair the roof.

Seeing his father's excited look, Yun Jingxin said that if he was on the ground, he might jump up for joy.

This is the poor family, it is too easy to be satisfied...

The cold winter seems to be extremely long for poor people, but Yunjing's family is full of good expectations for the coming year, and time seems to pass more slowly, wishing that next year will come sooner.

No matter how slowly time passes, it will never stop because of someone.

Unknowingly, winter passed by like this, and Yunjing also ushered in the third year of being in this world.

He is three years old.

In the winter, his family couldn't get the maltose out, it was too cold, and the wheat didn't germinate.

After the beginning of spring, his family quietly made a few catties of maltose. With experience, the quality of this batch is better than last time. The batch of maltose was divided into two parts, and one part was wrapped tightly in bamboo tubes. I asked Aunt Wang in the village to bring it to Yunjing's old man's house when she went to visit relatives. It was considered as a favor from Xiongpi last time. In order to exchange money for emergency.

Not to mention, the bear skin sent by Yun Jing's old man whom he has never met is really warm, and he is extra comfortable to cover it in winter. He doesn't know how much the bear skin is worth. Maltose is not cheap either, so the favor is worth it.

It is worth mentioning that after the beginning of spring, Yunjing’s house was not built, but he bought a buffalo first. A one-year-old buffalo is already able to plow the land. The work, just in time for the spring farming, has helped the family a lot.

The villagers are not to mention envious.

The reason why I bought cattle first was because there was no farmyard manure to pick up in the village. The villagers followed his example and used farmyard manure. Now there is not even a bit of manure in the village. Take it away, even children carry bamboo baskets when they go out, and rush to see where there is poop...

So this family urgently needed a dung making machine, so they bought a cow first.

Yunjing couldn't laugh or cry about this, the family really regarded the cow as a manure machine, and the cow dung was not just pulled.

Originally, buying a cow was a very happy thing, but when I came back to Yunlin the day I bought the cow, I kept cursing and losing my face. Because I bought a cow, I had to go to the government to register, and every year I had to prove that the cow was alive and could not be slaughtered at will. , if innocent slaughter cattle that will go to jail!

These are all secondary, the main thing is that those who buy cows and meows have to pay taxes, which is a whole tael of silver, so it's no wonder he has a good face.

It cost 18 taels of silver to buy cattle, and one tael of tax was paid, adding up to 19 taels.

Strictly speaking, the cow is not entirely his family's. If the cow dies of old age, the horns, tendons and leather must be given to the government. Whether to eat or sell, you have to go through the process first...
