Chapter 081

The so-called livestock market is not a special place, but a piece of land is enclosed outside the town. All the livestock that all villages and towns want to sell are traded here. The livestock market is not fixed. Generally speaking, it is followed by the market. Moreover, the small market has a customary market. Only when the towns where the town government is located in Changping Township will there be a livestock market.

Wen Xu has seen it before, but when he saw the livestock market again, he was a little disappointed. Both the people and the number of livestock were far smaller than the scene in his memory.

In the warm memory, the most lively thing in Fengji is the livestock market. At that time, there were fried dough sticks, big cakes, and chaotic hawks near the livestock market. There were almost endless hawks, seven or eight people following each livestock economy. It was so easy to distinguish the livestock economy, just look at the ears! Why can ears distinguish the livestock economy? Because there are two or three machine cigarettes with mouths on the ears of each livestock economy!

Now, less than half of the previous ones, there are far more animals in the entire livestock market than people, and the main trading of large animals is not large. Such as cows, buffaloes, donkeys, etc., turned into pigs and sheep. Even pigs and sheep are rarely seen. They are all small piglets and lambs.

"Old return! Old return!"

After entering the livestock market, Wen Shigui looked around with his hands, then found the target, and shouted while signaling Wen Xu to follow him.

Wen Xu followed the old brother and thought to himself: Lao Turtle?! This name is very creative! How great is this parents' intention? Give the child a name Lao Turtle!

While thinking in my heart, I searched around the direction where my second brother went! Because there were not many people, I quickly found the target. An old man in his seventies had lost all his hair, and there were spots on his bare head. His face was also brown-black, his face was covered with wrinkles, and a blue towel with a broken hole on his shoulders. He could hardly see the blue color. He was wearing a torn green military uniform on his upper body, camouflage pants on his lower body, and a pair of travel shoes on his feet. He could see patches on both military uniforms, camouflage pants or shoes. However, although the clothes he was wearing were torn, he was still quite clean. You could tell at a glance that the old man who had worked hard all his life was very good at living.

"What Lao Gui, Lao Gui! It's your mother's oops!" The old man called himself Lao Gui to Wen Shigui, and Lao Gui was very dissatisfied with it and started to curse.

Wen Shigui was not annoyed and laughed loudly, "What are you calling me if you don't call me Lao Gui? Old Tornado?!"

The few people squatting beside him laughed loudly as they said this.

Wen Shigui was upset when he saw Lao Gui and immediately said, "Get up quickly, I'm here to find work for you!"

Lao Gui glanced at Wen Xu, who was following Wen Shigui, and was still squatting on the ground, sucking his cigarette pipe, sucking his own dry tobacco without saying a word.

Seeing Lao Gui's style, Wen Shigui laughed and scolded: "You old guy, you don't even say hello when your business comes to your door. What's wrong? You'll be ready to go home and be scolded by your wife, right?"

"This young man is in the city at first sight. He wants me to take action when he buys livestock. He picks up fat and buys them. Anyway, he kills the meat eaters, so why should he pick them up?" Lao Gui glanced at Wen Xu, lowered his eyebrows and continued to squeak his cigarette.

Wen Shigui smiled and said, "You are still used to buy animals to kill people? My clan brother came here today to buy a donkey or mule that pulls the old millstone in the village, which makes you look forward to it. If you don't want to, I will have to make money from others?"

When Lao Gui, who was smoking a cigarette pipe, said when he heard Wen Xu bought a donkey and pulled the mill, his eyes lit up. He put down the cigarette pipe and asked Wen Shigui, "Is it true?"

"Who can't play with you, an old guy? Hurry up!" Wen Shigui said with a smile.

Now Lao Gui stood up, bit the cigarette puddle in his mouth, and held the cigarette puddle in one hand while sucking. After a few steps, a man in his thirties led an old cow and passed by Lao Gui.

Lao Gui stopped and let the man who was standing up to the ox walk by. Looking at the ox being led away, he shook his head and sighed with a pity, "Now, many of the big animals in the market are sold for killing meat, and fewer and fewer people are sold back to plow the land. Many good oxes are led there and then and they are stabbed. If this is the case before, these people can be killed by others..."

Listening to the old man walking in front of me, I missed the past days, Wen Xu became a little bored for a while. The times are developing. Now how many people use cattle to plow the fields? Who is not a tractor, rice transplanter, etc.? Agriculture has been mechanized, and cattle are naturally eliminated. This is the inevitable result of the development of productivity. Wen Xu’s willingness to mess with the life of a small farmer does not mean that he wants everyone to go home to farm and weave.

When we arrived at the big livestock farm, there were only about one hundred donkeys and cattle in the whole market, and there was not much room for selection. Wen Xu saw only seven or eight tall red donkeys, and he could see them all at a glance.

Lao Gui looked at each end carefully, looking at his teeth, touching his body, looking at his hooves, etc. All the donkeys looked at them, standing aside and smoking without saying a word.

Wen Xu was a little confused and looked directly at the second brother next to him. Wen Shigui looked at Wen Xu and shook his head, indicating that he was a little patient.

"Old Guitou, how about it? Which one do you think is suitable? We also need to negotiate with this boss." An old man selling donkey couldn't help it and said directly to Lao Gui.

Lao Gui ignored the old man and thought carefully at Wen Shigui. The two brothers Wen Xu said, "Don't look at the mule?"

"Okay!" Wen Xu saw his second brother look at him, so he agreed to Lao Gui's proposal. Anyway, the difference between mule and donkey is not very big for Wen Xu!

"Hey! Don't leave, the price is easy to discuss. I said you, old man, are too unauthentic. People are going to buy donkeys, but you, an old man, let's buy mules." The donkey seller was a little unhappy.

Lao Gui said, "Your donkeys should sell them to kill meat and feed them as pigs!" After that, he continued to walk forward slowly with his cigarette pipes.

Wen Xu looked at the old man again with a look at the mule. The old man finally chose one among the mules, but it seemed that the old man was not very satisfied. He stood in front of the mule and his eyebrows were locked all the time.

Pulling Wen Xu aside, Lao Gui said, "Men Wen, the donkeys and mules in the market today are not very good. If you are not in a hurry to ask for it, you will not be able to integrate the next one. Such animals are too ordinary."

Wen Xu thought it would be fine. He wanted to pull the animal into a grinding, but he didn’t want to go to a beauty pageant. Why did he choose this?

I thought of this place and just wanted to speak, I heard a cow cry coming from beside me.

"Moo! Moo!"

Although Wen Xu didn't understand the bull's words, he could still hear the bull's screaming miserable. Following the cry, Wen Xu saw a small buffalo that was half a big one.

Some people may think that the cows all look the same, but in fact, scalpers and buffaloes are different. Of course, they can be distinguished by searching for the appearance by a Kuan. As for Wenxu’s hometown, buffaloes have a good temperament and rarely have the horns to hold their owners. Scalpers are different. They are violent in nature, especially those who raise male scalpers. Cows are often raising husks.

This little buffalo is different from other buffaloes. Its whole body is white and Wen Xu looks like she is suffering from albinism! The little buffalo looks very white, but this is probably not a good thing for cattle farmers. If it were placed in the past, the owner might not have used this albino cow. It also plows and plows the land, and looks are not very important. But now, I guess the cow will not end up very well!

It is indeed like Wen Xu guessed. The man holding the cattle rope held the branch and sucked the cow's back and drove it loudly: "Let's go quickly, why are you afraid of? If you wait until you are at the place, you will be over! Remember not to be a cow in the next life. It's better to be a lion or dog in the city than to be a human."

After hearing this, Wen Xu knew that the cow would not have been able to survive. Obviously, this man wanted to drive the cow to the slaughterhouse on the other side and sell it to the cattle slaughter dealer.

Just as the man was sucking the cow with a branch, the little white cow knelt on the ground with a snap, and then mooed constantly. After a few sounds, tears actually burst out from the corner of the big cow's eyes.

Wen Xu has heard of the story of Niu Crying, but the first time I saw Niu Crying! Wen Xu didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. In short, he felt a little panicked. The death of Niu can actually show human feelings, which really made Wen Xu feel unbearable.

The cow shed tears and knelt down, which immediately attracted people around to watch the fun.

Seeing the cow crying, the man who drove the cow raised the branch in his hand and put it down again, sighed and said, "Don't blame me, I have no choice but to sell you to change the hand tractor and come back."

After saying that, the man stood beside the bull's head and reached out to caress the white bull: "Then wait until you go back?!"

Wen Xu couldn't bear it, so he opened his mouth and asked, "How much does this cow cost?"

When the man heard this, he said, "Four thousand!"

When he heard that someone wanted to buy his own cow, the original pity in the man's heart immediately turned into colorful bills, and he opened the lion's mouth directly at Wen Xu.

After hearing this, Lao Gui went up to look at the white cow lying on the ground, and then said, "You have four thousand cows? How much does it cost to sell slaughter cattle? At most, it's 2,550 yuan! You should sell 4,000 yuan to slaughter cattle, see how much they can give you!"

After hearing Lao Gui's words, the man asked, "Who are you? The business I have discussed with this guy!"

Before Lao Gui could speak, the people around him opened their mouths.

"You don't even know Lao Guitou, so you are here to sell cows? I tell you, Lao Guitou said that your cow is worth 2,500 yuan, then it will be worth only 2,500 yuan at most!" Someone among the onlookers laughed at the man.

"Yes, you're still selling cows like this!"

The man said angrily: "I sell my cow if I want to sell it. Why don't I want to sell it and take it back?"

"I am the cattle hiring this guy." After saying that, Lao Gui looked at Wen Xu, nodded when he saw Wen Xu and said to the man: "You are still an albino cattle, and 2,500 is considered a high gift!"

The man was suddenly a little unhappy. He also saw that Wen Xu felt pity on his hand. Moreover, seeing that Wen Xu was dressed like a farmer, he argued: "No matter how you look at this cow, it's impossible that it's only worth 2,500, at least 3,000!"

Lao Gui said, "Then you sell it for three thousand! Two thousand four, do you like to sell it or not!"

After saying that, the old man pulled Wen Xu and walked out of the circle without saying a word. Wen Xu felt sorry for this cow, so he subconsciously paused. Lao Guitou grabbed Wen Xu's hand tightly, then relaxed, and sent a secret code. Wen Xu understood it in his heart and immediately followed.

Seeing Lao Guitou leaving with his young patron, the man was a little panicked. The man who drove the cattle to sell it to the cattle was only 2,300 yuan, and there was one hundred more.

"I'll sell you!" Seeing Wen Xu's figure disappear, the man immediately started yelling loudly.

Just like that, Lao Gui dragged Wen Xu back to the crowd. Wen Xu took out the money and found a testimony to prove that Niu Fei stole and robbed, and he was just a deal.
