Chapter 51 Livestock Market

(On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year... I wish you all a long and prosperous life... Please recommend... Thank you...!)

"The ice has melted... There are already many people fishing in the lake... Even if we go fishing, the price of the fish can't be sold."

The big dog sat in the yard and told Zhu Lang.

"There are also bean sprouts...!" Aunt Wang said, "Although you can continue to produce bean sprouts, the price of bean sprouts has dropped, now about ten cents, but with the arrival of spring, all kinds of wild vegetables will appear, and the price of bean sprouts will drop to about five cents or even three cents."

Zhu Lang nodded. It was already the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. The Ming Dynasty festival has been over. The county government has started to operate, and all merchants have opened shops.

Unfortunately, the temperature also rose accordingly. However, as soon as the temperature rose, Zhu Lang's two businesses were affected, especially the under-ice fishing business, which was almost impossible to start.

"Then sell the cows...!"

Zhu Lang had a way to deal with it. After being fed by Zhu Erbao and others for more than ten days, his condition has not only recovered, but his health has also recovered a lot now. Zhu Lang heard from Yan Laojue that the livestock market in the county town had opened, so he thought about selling the buffalo directly.

There was no need to be so anxious to sell the buffalo. At first, Zhu Lang planned to wait until the spring plowing ended and let the five buffaloes help the villagers of Sanjia Village plow the fields free of charge before selling the buffalo.

However, just a few days ago, the big dog discovered that Wu Laohei had been walking around his home. Although his intention was not obvious, he knew with his brain that this guy should be here to detect the health of the buffalo.

You don’t have to guess that the buffalo is still being missed. Since you are still thinking about the buffalo, then you will sell the buffalo directly. I think you can do what you can do with me?

"I'm really reluctant to sell cattle."

As soon as he heard that Zhu Lang wanted to sell cattle, Aunt Wang came to the buffalo with some reluctance and gently touched the buffalo's heads with his hands. It can be seen that Aunt Wang had devoted great affection to the buffalo.

Looking at Aunt Wang's reluctant appearance, Zhu Lang smiled and said, "Grandma... Although the buffalo has been sold, don't worry, I will help find a good buyer and will definitely not let the buffalo suffer..."

Zhu Lang knew the old man's heart and did not want the buffalo he raised to suffer.

However, how can buffaloes suffer? You must know that buffaloes are good helpers to all the people now. They are too late to love and will never suffer.

The most important thing is that if you really dare to let the buffalo suffer, and once you are sued to the government, the government will send you to prison. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's protection for buffaloes and other plowing oxes.

"Then you must find a better buyer for the buffaloes so that I can rest assured..." As he said that, Aunt Wang put her head on the head of a buffalo, and the buffalo made a relaxed cry...

"Young Master, when will we go to the county town?" Yan Laojue came to Zhu Lang and asked, "If I go now, I will go to get a ox cart."

Now because there are buffaloes, you can use buffalo to pull a cart. Yan Laojue made a pair of bulls directly by a carpenter, which is a bent wooden product. There are other names in other places, which is to put it around the neck of the cow and then put the rope of the cart on it to facilitate the cow to pull a cart.

"Are Wu Laohei at home today?" Zhu Lang asked Wu Laohei.

"Not here..." Big Dog replied immediately.

"How do you know?" Zhu Lang was a little surprised to see the big dog reply so quickly and simply.

"Didn't he secretly monitor our family... Ergou and I also secretly monitored his family... This morning, Wu Laohei and his wife went to Zhao De to make their fortune. Now Wu Laohei's family is Zhao Defa's family servant, and they have to go to Zhao De to make their fortune every day to report."

The big dog said, making Zhu Lang nodded: "That's good... Let's go now. We're going to sell the buffalo without hiding these guys. When they're sold out, they don't know."

"Hehe...!" Zhu Lang smirked, and then he saw Yan Laojue, Zhu Erbao, Dagou, Ergou and others start to take action. He set up a ox cart for Zhu Lang to ride. The others still have to drive the ox cart, so they can't ride the ox cart.

In this way, the five people began to walk towards the livestock market in the county.

The livestock market in Dangtu County only opens once every ten days and only three times a month. Moreover, this livestock market is not in the county town, it is in an open space on the left side of the county town. There are yamen runners to maintain order, but there is no tax here.

This is a measure for Zhu Yuanzhang to vigorously develop agriculture. No tax is charged for trading livestock in the people. This is a measure for Zhu Yuanzhang to encourage the people to raise livestock.

After about an hour of leaving, the five members of the Zhu family also came to the livestock trading market in Dangtu County. As soon as they arrived at the scene, Zhu Lang saw a yamen runner sitting in front of a table, with a tea bowl on the table, drinking slowly.

There are also several yamen runners standing with their hips next to the yamen runners. These yamen runners are here to maintain the security of the livestock market transactions.

There are even a few good horses, including yellow cows, goats, black dogs, mules, horses, donkeys, and even a few good horses... However, there are not many buffaloes, only four or five.

You should know that the livestock market that Zhu Yuanzhang built was really good. After all, it was an era when cattle and horses plowed the land and carried goods, livestock transactions inevitably occurred from time to time.

Every county has such a livestock trading market, which really greatly facilitates the needs of the people.

Not far away, Zhu Lang saw three men surrounding a big yellow cow and talking. What made Zhu Lang feel relaxed was that the livestock transactions here were not like other places in code (touching hands) to negotiate prices, but instead the buyer and seller said face to face that once the agreement was made, the buyer would count the money to the seller immediately.

After the transaction, no matter whether it is expensive or cheap, neither party can regret it.

This rule is very good, simple and straightforward, and it cannot be slandered. Another thing to note is that the cows here are basically not slaughtered when they buy them, and they are all bought to help their families with their work, so everyone is very careful when choosing.

After Zhu Lang's five heads of water were entered the trading market, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. Because Dangtu has paddy fields, the buffaloes are strong and the plow fields are fast and good, so there is a great demand for buffaloes.

Soon, a few people came to Yan Laojue and asked, "Brother... the buffalo is good. Although it is a bit fat, it looks very energetic. What's the price? If the price is OK, I will just come to both ends."

"Haha..." Yan Laojue said with a smile: "Fifty-two one end..."

"So expensive?" Everyone who came showed a high-priced expression.

However, Old Yan continued, "You get what you pay for. My buffalo is a little less forage this winter. When you go back and feed it more, it can grow to more than 500 kilograms... Other people's buffalo can plow fifty acres a day, and my buffalo has at least 100 acres a day...!"

"Oh...it's just too expensive, brother...you're a little cheaper." Another commoner came over and touched the buffalo on the side.

"It's okay to be cheap, but it's not much cheaper. You can tell me the price first..." Old Yan smiled and asked the other party to bid.

"Thirty taels..." The other party lost twenty taels directly.

"Friend, you're cutting in half, it's too ruthless. Let's do this. Since it's fate, I'll cut 5 taels, forty-five taels, but if you buy two ends, you can only get 45 taels..." Yan Laojue still didn't let go.

This was what Zhu Lang said, spring plowing is coming soon, and around Dangtu, buffaloes are the main force in plowing the fields, and the price cannot be too low.

"This...!" The price of forty-five taels made the people around him hesitate a little.
