Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 73 Cow with Calf

In addition, two women and one man were recruited. One of them, a young man named Wang Lin, was tall and thin and looked good. He was asked to come to work tomorrow morning.

After selling the last meal in the afternoon, I heard the clear ringing of bells in the distance just as I was about to close the door.

Standing at the door and looking around, I saw a group of people coming around. After taking a closer look at the surprise, I shouted to Gu Wu and others who were setting out the food and preparing to eat: "Dad, the cattle dealer is driving cattle into the city. Come out and take a look!"

"What? The cattle dealer is here to drive the cattle?" When Gu Wu and the others heard this, they all ran over to take a look, and they happened to see people running forward.

Several of them were acquaintances and regular customers who often came to the shop to eat, and said, "Master Gu, let's go and watch the fun."

Beside the exposed cattle, there were about a dozen government officials, wearing swords and leading the way.

Behind him were more than fifty people holding swords and guarding the cattle and sheep.

When Gu Yu and An Ji saw this, they hurriedly said "bring the money" and ran away.

Yang and Gu Pan returned to the house. Gu Pan said, "Brother and sister, I also want to buy a cow, but the money I brought is not enough. I need to borrow some from you. I will pay you back when I get back."

"No problem, I'll get the silver right now." Yang took one hundred taels and fifty taels to Gu Pan, and she took fifty taels herself and followed.

Xu Xi and Gao Zhu also wanted to follow, but they did not dare to run around casually due to their status as workers.

Gu Yu waved his hand and said: "Bring the food into the kitchen, go and watch the excitement first and then come back to eat."

"Okay." Xu Xi, Gao Zhu's eyes lit up, he quickly covered the food, and as soon as the door was closed, he followed Gu Yu to watch the excitement.

On the other hand, Gu Wu looked at the cows, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and asked a topic that many people had asked: "Master Guan, I wonder when the cows will be sold this time!"

Tomorrow morning, in the official bull market. If you want to buy, come to the bull market early in the morning and go through the procedures after buying. "The leader said.

Gu Wu and the yamen servant decided on a time and planned to buy one early tomorrow morning.

By the way, I also want to buy a bullock cart. Next time I go back to the village to pull things, I can pull more. There is no need to bring very little things like these two times.

When Gu Yu came, he heard this sentence. He stood in the crowd and watched the cattle, horses, and sheep entering the city one after another. He counted the cattle this time and found that there were 130 cattle and 58 horses. Three hundred sheep.

I brought so many with me this time. Could it be that I didn’t go to other prefectures and came directly to Linfeng County?

Regardless of the reason, bringing so many livestock had nothing to do with Gu Yu, and the twists and turns were not something she, an ordinary citizen, could pry into.

Gu and Wu got up early in the morning and went to the cattle market to buy cattle. Gu Yu arranged for Xu Xi and Gao Zhu to stay at home first, while Wang Lin cleaned up the shop.

She went to buy two large pork legs, twenty pounds of pork liver, and ten pounds of cauliflower. When she came back, she arranged for Li Xiaoxiao, Wu Nan, Zhou Er and Feng Yu to select vegetables and cut meat.

"Ding-dong, jingle-dong" the bells rang in the streets.

Gu Yu went out and saw that Gu Wu and An Ji came back with a cow each and said, "Have you bought it now?"

Yang said happily: "There are a lot of cattle coming this time. Let's go and see them early in the morning. We will decide which one to buy and negotiate with the cattle dealer. We will go to the government to apply for the cattle registration and then we will come back."

"How much money?" Gu Yu asked.

"Twenty-five taels, our cow is still a cow!"

"Twenty-five taels?" Twenty-five taels is a bit expensive! I heard that the village chief's house only bought fifteen taels, but her house was a full ten taels more expensive than others. Was her parents deceived by the cattle dealer?

Gu Yu asked again: "What about my aunt's house? How much money?"

"My eighteen-ounce bull is a newly grown bull." Gu Pan replied with a laugh.

顾雨：“……”牛的寿命是20～30年，其生长期为3-5年，自然寿命应该是15-35年。她家这头牛看着年纪应该不大，正值青年。

Cows can give birth to calves and are one or two taels more expensive than bulls, but it is unreasonable to be so much more expensive!
Yang said at this time: "Our cow is a cow with a calf, so the price is a little higher?"

Gu Yu: "..."

A cow with a calf?
Tsk, it’s not enough to have a pregnant woman like her at home, and you have to buy a cow and take care of the calf.

The normal price of a cow should be between eighteen and twenty taels, her mother said. That means a cow with a calf in its belly costs five taels of silver?

There is a stable next to the woodshed in this yard, and two cows are temporarily placed in the stable.

Gu Pan and his wife bought cattle and needed to drive them back.

After selling the morning meal, Gu and Wu went to the cattle market to buy bullock carts. Gu Yu was still at home doing accounting and looking after the shop.

Seeing seven employees sitting in the shop, he looked out at the busy streets and said, "Have a half-hour break at noon. If you want to go out for a walk, just go for a walk. Come back to work at the same time."

When I applied for the job, I didn’t say there would be a break at noon, but I only said there would be two days off in January. Before, Xu Xi was the only one in the store who followed them.

Now there were three more people in the store, and it wasn't busy now. She looked bored as they all sat in the store, so she simply gave them an hour to rest and let them do their own thing.

In ancient times, one hour was two hours in the original world, and half an hour was one hour.

Xu Xi and Gao Zhu did not have fixed positions at first, so they moved wherever they were busy.

There were five more people this morning to fix their positions. Xu Xi and Gao Zhu were mainly responsible for clearing the dishes.

Wang Lin and Li Xiaoxiao were responsible for transporting the dishes to the backyard for Wu Nan and Zhou Er to wash.

Feng Yu, Yang and Gu Pan were cooking in front of the stall.

Today's business was very good, with more than 600 bowls of rice sold. Although there were more workers, a few people were exhausted and sat in the shop to rest.

Hearing Gu Yu's words: "Okay, Aunt Yu."

Gao Zhu, Wang Lin, Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Er, Wu Nan, and Xu Xi all moved to Sanjin Courtyard.

At first, she didn't want Xu Xi to go there, but later she hired Ma Xiaoxiao and several unmarried girls. After much deliberation, she decided to arrange the front yard so that the boys would live in the east and the girls would live in the west, and Xu Xi could live there as well.

Gu Yu said that they would rest for half an hour. They were all children from poor families and were afraid of going out to spend money, so they stopped going shopping.

Only Feng Yu heard that he could rest at noon. After confirming with Gu Yu, he ran home to see if the children at home were okay.

After Gu Yu finished doing the accounting, he was very sleepy. Because Gu Wu and the others didn't come back, no one was watching in the shop, so he forced himself to sit in front of the counter and look at the shop.

Unfortunately, she felt so sleepy that she fell asleep while sitting in front of the counter.

When Gu Wu and the others came back, they saw the sleeping person lying in front of the counter. Yang thought something had happened to her, so she shook her head and shouted softly: "Yu'er..."

"Oh!" Gu Yu was woken up and looked at Yang with tears in her eyes and said, "You are back."

Yang touched her forehead and saw that there was no fever. Seeing how sleepy she was, she said, "We'll keep an eye on her in the shop. You go back to the house to rest first."

Gu Yu was really sleepy and was holding on to wait for Yang and the others to come back. Now after saying something, Ma Liu ran back to the house and lay on the bed and fell asleep again.

Yang came in and took a look at her, covered her with a quilt, walked out of the room, put the gifts she had just bought for Gu Jianan and the others on the bullock cart and said: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law go back, please be safe on the road. !”
