Chapter 384

Man Bao and the others were not the first to join in. In fact, there were quite a few people watching the cows outside the grass shed at this time.

But most of them came from nearby to join in the fun, and none of them wanted to go into the grass shed to look at them, for fear that the county government would rely on them and ask them to return the cows they looked at on credit.

So when Zhou Zhoulang and the others took out their household registrations and wanted to go in, the official who moved a table and sat at the entrance of the thatched shed took a look at them and asked, "They all belong to the same family?"

Zhou Hu quickly took out his household registration and said, "No, I belong to another family."

The official made the registration, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go in."

Everyone go in immediately.

There are only cows in the straw shed, and a cowherd who takes care of the cows.

Seeing these four people walking and watching, they looked like laymen, so he leaned on a cow and asked, "Do you know how to look at a cow?"

Man Bao nodded slightly, while Zhou Hu and the Zhou family brothers shook their heads together.

The cowherd looked curiously at the nodding Man Bao, and asked, "You know?"

After Man Bao decided to buy cattle on credit, he went to see the cattle in the farm, and also asked Baizhuangtou who went to buy cattle at that time, and now he has a lot of goods in his stomach.

So Man Bao proudly raised his small chin and said, "Of course I know. When looking at a cow, you must first look at its teeth. A cow around four years old is the best, so it depends on whether it has grown permanent teeth."

The cowherd nodded, indicating that he was right.

Man Bao became even more proud, and continued: "It also depends on the hooves. The hooves are big and straight, and the hooves are dense and firm."

"That's right, that's right," the cowherd said with a smile, "The little lady is here to pick and choose, is there anyone she likes?"

Man Bao blinked and looked at the cows standing in two rows on both sides. She was a little bit blind, um, Bai Zhuangtou said that, and she remembered that too. At that time, she also took a look at the teeth in the cow's mouth, but What kind of teeth are deciduous teeth, and what kind of teeth are permanent teeth that grow after falling out?

The cowherd understood it at a glance, and he burst out laughing. He just said, how can a doll who is only seven or eight years old know how to look at cows?

"Okay, I'll help you choose. Do you want bullocks? These are all good."

Man Bao looked along his hands, and found that the hairs of the cows he was pointing at were all shiny and shiny, and the bulls looked energetic when they looked at them.

Seeing the bamboo tags hanging around their necks, Man Bao couldn't help but stepped forward to look at them, and found that "one" was written on it, so she asked, "What is this tag for?"

"The quality of the cattle is determined by the price. Which one do you like, you can turn it over to see the number of the cattle. Just take it and ask the price. This is the first-class steer, and the price is also the most expensive batch. "

Man Bao turned over, and sure enough, there was a string of numbers behind it.

Every cow has a number. If you want to sell it, you have to report it to the county government first. When the cow is old, you have to slaughter it, and you have to report it to the government. If the cow accidentally dies of illness, you have to notify the county government.

Man Bao wrote down its serial number and asked, "Then do you know how much this cow costs?"

The cowherd smiled and said, "Of course I know. I have written down the price of each cow here. This one costs four, two, five hundred yuan."

Of course Zhou Hu was taken aback and took a step back.

Man Bao didn't expect it to be so expensive. After touching it, he asked, "Is there any cheaper but good cow?"

"That's the second-class steer. It's impossible for you to buy a four-year-old steer. You should buy a steer that is about three years old." Because they were the first batch of people to come in, the cowherd was quite enthusiastic about them.

The main reason is that the servants sitting at the door of the thatched shed didn’t want to talk to him, and he was the only cow in the thatched shed, maybe he was used to being lonely, and this opening was what he was best at, so he was eloquent for a while. stand up.

Leading the four people to look at all the second-class steers, list their advantages and disadvantages, and then suggest a few bulls that they can buy...

Man Bao and Zhou Lang and Zhou Lang got together and whispered together. After discussing, they unanimously decided to choose the second steer numbered "Luo 398".

Man Bao raised his head again to confirm with the cowherd, "This one only costs three, two, five hundred coins, right?"

"good."

After hesitating, Zhou Hu also chose a steer, which was a little worse than what the old Zhou family chose, and the price was only three, two, two hundred.

He asked Man Bao to help him read the serial number, and wrote it down, then went to the official to ask the price.

Hearing them asking about the price, the messenger's expression improved a lot. He flipped through the brochure, and after quoting the same price as the cowherd, he asked, "Do you want credit?"

Man Bao nodded again and again, and asked: "Should I go to the county government to credit the money first and then come to get the cattle?"

The official nodded, "Not bad."

"Then take another look, is my cow worth 3,500 Wen?"

The messenger rolled his eyes and said, "It's 3,500 Wen, hurry up and go on credit, it's almost time for lunch..."

Man Bao immediately took Zhou Zhoulang to the county government office for credit.

Yang Heshu was standing in the county office sadly. Obviously, today's situation was too different from what he had imagined, and he was somewhat frustrated.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Man Bao and the others coming in, his eyes lit up immediately, he waved and asked with a smile, "Are you here for credit?"

"Yes," Man Bao rushed up and said, "I just selected a cow, and I want 3,500 Wen. I brought some copper coins, so I just want to borrow a few taels on credit, magistrate, is that okay?"

"Of course you can." Yang Heshu said with a smile, "You can even credit one or two taels."

After speaking, Yang Heshu looked at Zhou Hu expectantly.

Zhou Hu's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "I, the younger one, also chose a cow, and it costs 3,200 Wen, so I only borrow a few taels on credit."

Yang and Shu were delighted to send out two cows on credit at once, and personally led them to the accountant next door to borrow money on credit with a smile.

Master Zhang had already made preparations. He first got up and bowed to County Magistrate Yang, then checked the household registration information of the two families, and then quickly filled out the loan documents for them to sign.

Man Bao picked up the pen and was about to write, Master Zhang frowned, pressed it up with his palm and said, "Isn't there a man here in your family, he should sign it."

Hearing this, Man Bao handed the pen to Zhou Zhou Lang without even thinking about it.

Zhou Zhoulang muttered, disliked the trouble of Zhang's master book, but he still held the pen, trembling, and carefully wrote his name on it.

Master Zhang took a look at the crooked words, but he didn't dislike them very much, he just frowned and pushed the red seal forward, letting him draw it.

Zhou Hu was much simpler. He picked up a pen and carefully drew a circle on the signature, and then pressed his handprint on it.

Master Zhang took another serious look, then gave them the cut silver pieces, and told them: "When you get the cow, bring me the number plate and put it in the register. If the cow gets sick or has an accident in the future, you have to get it Report to the county government with the number plate."

Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Hu agreed, and went out happily holding the silver pieces.
