Chapter 09 The cow needs to wear a nose
Liu Laoshi got up very late the next day. When he woke up, the sun had already hit the fourth shot, and it was noon immediately.
When he walked out of the bedroom with his head still drowsy due to the hangover, he saw Liu Yi walking towards the cow tent with a bundle of hay in his arms, so he followed him up.
The plowing ox is their treasure. Not to mention its function, the money spent on buying it made him feel distressed for a long time. Five taels of silver. If it really dies, wouldn’t the money be wasted?
"Dad, you're awake. I drank so much wine last night, so I didn't feel uncomfortable, right?" Liu Yiuan slowed down when he saw Liu Laoshi come out and walked with Liu Laoshi.
"Well, nothing, I just drank a little too much last night and my head was a little heavy. It will be fine after a while. Oh, by the way, how did your Uncle Yang leave yesterday? He seemed to have drunk a lot. Didn't you leave him?"
Liu Yi smiled and said, "Dad, Uncle Yang's alcohol capacity is much greater than that of you. After two pots of wine, he was still like nothing happened. Finally, seeing that you were drunk, he chatted with me for a while and went back by himself."
Liu honestly said: "That's true. Your Uncle Yang used to be a gangster and martial arts. It's normal for me to drink him. It's just that it's so late that he still wants him to go back, which is rude."
"What?" Liu Yiu automatically filtered out the next sentence and asked Liu honestly with interest: "Uncle Yang used to run around the world? You can't tell at all? Was he very powerful before?"
"I don't know whether it's so powerful or not. However, when Wang Kui was the most fierce, he didn't dare to provoke him easily. Otherwise, how could Wang Shuai spare you so easily last time and be willing to pay a tael of silver? That was all given to you, Uncle Yang."
No wonder those headmasters were so polite to him, a commoner. Yang Bofang was also a well-known figure.
"Then why did he care so much about our family? He first saved me, and yesterday he came to remind me to be wary of Wang Kui. It seems that he is not a relative to our family, right?"
"That's some relationship between ancestors. You, a child, don't know too much." Liu said perfunctorily. "How is our cow? Have you gotten better? I'm still counting on doing my best after the beginning of spring."
Liu Yi smiled complacently and said, "It's already 80% better. It's okay to pour it garlic juice once more at noon."
"Really? It'll be fine so soon?"
Lao Liu obviously didn't expect that Liu Yi's garlic juice would be so effective. In the past, the cows that had a stool had either made a stool for half a year or died on the floor. I haven't heard of that cow that can heal overnight.
"If you don't believe it, go and have a look. It can eat and sleep now. The hay I have taken is for feeding it."
Liu Yiyangyangyangyang the hay in his hand. After all, he was also a top student who graduated from a famous agricultural university in China. Treating a common diseased cattle with diarrhea is not a side dish to him.
Liu Laoshi speeded up his pace, pierced his head on the calf's buttocks, staring at the calf's buttocks tightly, which was much dryer than last night.
Willow throws the hay next to the calf and lets it lower its head to chew and swallow.
In the absence of modern food, this leaf-shaped hay is the best food for domestic animals such as cattle and sheep.
"Eat, eat, eat more, and you can go to the field to help in another month." Liu Laoshi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He kept giggling as he looked at Xiaoniu. He felt that he had taken advantage of a lot of money to buy a real ox for five jin of money.
"Dad, take advantage of the time now, we can't put the bull's nose on it first. Otherwise, after a while, it will be difficult to wear when it grows older." Liu Yian looked at the calf who was eating happily and suggested on the side.
"Wearing a bull's nose? How to wear it?" Lao Liu was very puzzled. Why didn't he understand his son's words in just a few days?
Liu Yiu was also stunned. Why didn’t the Tang Dynasty wear a cow’s nose yet? Then how did they use cows to plow the land? Just rely on the rein on the cow’s neck?
"Dad, don't you want to lead the bull's nose? Why haven't you seen anyone wearing a bull's nose before?"
"What is the silly cow? Why do you say something in broad daylight? How do you hold the bull's nose just a little bit? Are you kidding?" Liu Laoshi began to wonder if his son was beaten to death by Wang Shuai, otherwise how could a good person say such hilarious words?
Liu Yi smiled, no, right? Then let him start with me.
He walked to the calf's head, stroked the calf's ears, and said to Lao Liu aloud: "Dad, ox, you have to wear your nose!"
Seeing that Liu Yi was serious, Lao Liu didn't dare to ignore it anymore. After all, Comrade Xiao Liu had just cured a sick cow for it. Maybe he had his own reason to say this, although Lao Liu didn't understand this truth very clearly.
"Then tell me why you need to wear it and how to wear it?"
"Dad, did you think that those cattle are not easy to use when you used other people's oxen to plow the land? For example, it pointed around the east and west, and it would take two steps back from time to time. People with less strength could not move it at all? For example, it wanted to eat green things, and sometimes even ate crops?"
Liu Yiu did not answer Lao Liu's question, but instead explained the problems that people encountered in this era when driving cattle.
Lao Liu nodded and agreed, um, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Then you just wear a bull's nose! With it, all problems will be solved!" Liu Yiu felt like a dog-skin plaster. "When wearing a bull's nose, you can go wherever you want it to go, without any neglect, and without too much force. Even a child like Xiaohui can easily control it."
Lao Liu was so excited that he heard this, and his blood pressure all over his body ran to his face.
"real?!"
"real!!"
"Then wear it!!"
"Dad! What do you want to wear?"
At this time, Liu Erzhao walked in from outside, followed by a middle-aged Confucian scholar in his forties. He looked like a gentleman from their private school.
