Yang Heshu was also very happy and followed them out. Manbao said to Zhou Lang and Zhou Hu: "You go, we will wait for you here in the thatched shed."

He turned to Yang Heshu and said happily: "Do you want to see the cow we selected? In fact, it is not my favorite. I prefer the bullock standing third to the left of it. Unfortunately, it is too expensive. But even so

, I will still like it very much and will be very good to it in the future.”

Yang Heshu smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go take a look."

He glanced curiously at the direction in which Zhou Lang and the others were leaving, and asked, "What are your brothers doing?"

"They went to get the money."

"Oh, is it a copper coin?"

Man Bao nodded.

Yang Heshu thought he understood, and asked with a smile, "To buy a cow, there are quite a few people coming to your family. Besides you three brothers and sisters, who else is coming?"

"My second brother, he sells bamboo baskets and tofu over there."

"Hey, your family can also make tofu?"

"Of course, our tofu is delicious. It's the only one in the county. Every time we make it, we can't sell enough."

Yang Heshu smiled and said, "Then I'll have a try if I get a chance."

The two chatted and went into the hay shed to look at the two cows they had chosen.

Neither the messenger nor the cowherd expected that the county magistrate would come in person, so they stood up quickly. Seeing Man Bao's familiarity with him, their attitude toward Man Bao and Wu Lang improved a lot.

A police officer walked directly in front to guide them, and entered the hay shed to steal the cowherd's work.

Although Yang Heshu had no actual experience in appraising cattle, he had done the same homework as Man Bao, so when he saw Man Bao's cattle, he first asked about their age and teeth.

The cowherd came in handy now, pushing his way to the front and talking non-stop. Yang Heshu couldn't help but nod as he listened. It was different after he had done his homework. Anyway, he understood everything, although he still couldn't separate himself from the cowherd.

The difference in teeth can be seen in the mouth of a cow.

Yang Heshu listened with great interest, looked at the cows chosen by Zhou Hu, and then asked people to lead the two cows to the door of the thatched shed.

The county seat of Luojiang County is not big, not to mention that the county government office and the pawnshop are on the same street, so Zhou Lang and Zhou Hu ran there and ran back quickly.

It's just that when they went there, they had no robes on them, but when they came back, they carried one.

At this moment, it was being carried on Zhou Hu's shoulders, and Zhou Lang was running beside him. The two of them ran to the door of the hay shed, first grinned at Magistrate Yang, and then said: "We have brought all the money."

Zhou Lang laid out the credit documents, took out five strings of copper plates from the bag, and then took out three ounces of money, and then looked at the messenger with bright eyes.

The officer glanced at the credit document and confirmed that it was money borrowed on credit from the county government. He accepted the 3,500 yuan he gave without noticing anything unusual, and then asked Zhou Lang to sign and sign, so that the cow could be taken away.

Already.

After Zhou Lang signed, the officer took off the number plate from the cow's neck and handed it to him, saying, "Just take it in and make a record."

Then he looked at Zhou Hu.

Zhou Hu didn't expect that he could really buy the cow with a copper plate. He was stunned for a moment and immediately took out 3,200 coins from his bag and gave it to the officer, and also took the cow with the same token.

Yang Heshu stood aside and watched. After being silent for a long time, he looked at Manbao, gently tapped her with his finger and said with a smile: "You, you, I didn't expect that the first loss I, Yang Heshu, suffered was actually caused by you."

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, you have not suffered a loss. It may take me two years to pay back the money. Your interest rate is too high."

Yang Heshu shook his head, "This is already the lowest interest rate ever paid."

"Precedents are always set by someone, why don't you set a precedent yourself?"

Yang Heshu frowned, and after a long while he shook his head and said, "No, no, no."

He was new to Luojiang County, and he was also new to the officialdom. The credit issue was already outrageous, and if he set another precedent, his life would not be peaceful in the next few years.

Although his family background would not prevent him from leaving in despair, it would be very annoying if someone was watching everything he did.

Man Bao regretfully looked back at the cows in the hay shed and said: "In this case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to lend other cows on credit. Everyone is not very courageous. The main reason is that the natural disaster came suddenly last year and no one could

I don’t know whether God will reward me this year or not.”

Yang Heshu said: "Since there was a big flood last year, there won't be much rain this year."

Man Bao nodded, "Yes, so there is a possibility of drought."

Yang Heshu stared.

Zhou Lang and Zhou Hu took out another document from the county government office, with joy on their faces.

From afar, Zhou Lang waved to her and said: "Manbao, everything is done, we have a cow at home!"

Regarding Yang Heshu, Zhou Lang also had very good senses and said quickly: "Lord County Magistrate, last time you came to our village, we didn't know you were the county magistrate. Next time you go, we will definitely entertain you well. I,

I’ll invite you back to my house for dinner, and then I’ll give you all the eggs I touched.”

Yang Heshu smiled and expressed his gratitude, and asked Manbao: "Maybe I haven't eaten tofu for a long time. Your second brother is in the area that sells agricultural products?"

Zhou Lang immediately said smartly: "Why do you need to send someone to go? I will bring it to you in a while. Just tell me how much you want."

Yang Heshu thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to entertain some guests tonight, so I'll bring some more. You can take them as you watch."

After saying that, he asked the followers behind him to give him money.

The attendant then took out a bunch of copper coins and gave them to Zhou Lang.

Zhou Lang was shocked. Even if the beans are a little more expensive now and the tofu has risen to three cents a dollar, there is no need to give him so much, right?

Zhou Lang asked in a low voice, "Dare I ask, little brother, are there many people invited by the county magistrate to the banquet?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I just want to estimate how much tofu I can send you."

The attendant said: "There must be five or six people."

Zhou Lang knew it well. The county magistrate looked so rich. He couldn't just cook one dish for a banquet, right?

So he thought for a while, counted out thirty coins from the string of money, pushed back the rest, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will personally deliver the tofu in a moment. Our tofu is cut into large pieces, and added with

Nowadays, food is much more expensive, including beans, so they sell for three pennies a piece. I will give you twelve yuan later. I can soak more and cook it tomorrow morning. Otherwise, let me try it too.

My tofu is really authentic and delicious..."

The attendant waved his hand to show that he understood, collected the remaining money and asked Zhou Lang to leave.

After everyone in the Zhou family left, the entourage walked back behind Yang Heshu and whispered: "Young master, you seem to be quite honest and not greedy. For three cents a piece of tofu, if you buy ten yuan, you will get two more yuan as a gift."

Yang Heshu nodded slightly and ordered: "Go to the silver building and ask how many copper coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver now. By the way, besides the silver building, where else can I exchange copper coins?"

The attendant thought for a while and said: "It seems that a pawn shop can also be used."
