    Time flies, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye. During this period of time, Duan Wuji was busy practicing martial arts day and night, and he was never afraid of the wind and snow. During this time, Duan Wuji's martial arts has made great progress  .

    On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Duan Yanqing led Duan Changsheng and Duan Wuji to Duanjiaji to pay New Year greetings to the third grandpa and his family. The third grandpa looked at the father and son and said, "Yanqing, your grandpa is three years old.  Promising, you see this year is over, do you still raise cattle this year?"

    Duan Yanqing listened and looked at Duan Wuji.

    "He has the final say on whether to raise cattle or not, and he can raise them if he says so. If he doesn't want to raise them, I have nothing to do.

    He is eleven years old this year and has become the young head of our family.  "

    The third grandfather looked at Duan Wuji.

    "Well, this kid is growing up really fast! He's almost grown up.

    Promise, do you still plan to raise cattle this year?  Quickly tell Grandpa Sanzu what you think?  "

    Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Raise! What can I do if I don't raise cattle? Isn't it possible to earn one or two hundred taels of silver every year by raising cattle? This is much better than farming. I raise a group of cows.  If it is a cow, at least our family will not have to worry about eating and drinking for a year. Can you give up such a good thing?

    Not only do I want to raise, but I also want to expand the scale and raise dozens of more cows. You said that one cow is also raised, and two cows are also released. If we raise a few more cows, we can earn more?  "

    The third grandfather listened and nodded.

    "Well, Promise, promising.

    Now that I'm going to raise it, I'm going to order that calf, Wuji, how many do you plan to order this year?  "

    Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

    "If I go back to my grandfather, I don't plan to make a deal this year. I've already made up my mind. I plan to go to the Great Wall to sell some and come back. Wouldn't this save me a lot of money?"

    "Ah? Are you okay?"

    "Why not? Someone else sold it, but Duan Wuji can still sell it. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

    "Then when do you plan to leave?"

    Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "I plan to leave the day after tomorrow. It's not good to be late."

    "Then can you go alone?"

    Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Why am I alone? I plan to take Tie Niu with me. I have a companion along the way."

    "Then did you tell Tieniu?"

    Duan Wuji shook his head.  "Well, I haven't said it yet. I plan to go to him this afternoon."

    The third grandpa laughed when he heard this.

    "Wuji, you don't need to look for him, their family will come over later.

    This year, their family hasn't come to pay me New Year's greetings yet.  "

    "Really? Then I'll wait for him here."

    In a short time, I saw that Niu Tie's family really came to pay New Year's greetings to the third grandfather.

    After celebrating the Chinese New Year, Niu Tie's father, Duan Yanxi, looked at Duan Yanqing's family and said, "Brother, are these your two children? Look, they have grown so tall, they are really promising."

    After hearing this, Duan Yanqing winked at his two children.

    Duan Changsheng and Duan Wuji immediately understood.

    The two immediately crawled to the ground to wish Duan Yanxi a New Year greeting.

    "Uncle here, my nephews Duan Changsheng and Duan Wuji wish you a happy new year. I wish you good luck this year and a happy family."

    Duan Yanxi was taken aback for a moment, and quickly reached out to help.

    "Okay, okay, get up.

    Brother, look at how promising your child is!

    Tieniu, don't be dumbfounded, you boy, and give your uncle a new year's greetings!  "

    Duan Tieniu hurried over after hearing this, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Duan Yanqing.

    "Uncle, Niu Tie wishes you New Year's greetings. I wish you good luck and prosperity, old man."

    When Duan Yanqing saw it, he quickly helped Tieniu up.

    "Niu Tie, get up quickly. We are all one family, what kind of year do you wish! Come, sit next to uncle."

    Duan Yanqing looked at his third grandfather and said: "Third grandfather, this year is over, I want to ask the strong labor force in the family to help me build the house, let them pass by the day after tomorrow."

    The third grandfather listened and nodded.

    "Okay, there's nothing wrong now, I'll let them all go.

    Hey, Yanqing, how many days have you been building this house?  Let me hear it?  "

    Duan Yanqing laughed and said, "I'll find dozens more people."The old man was very happy to hear that.

    "Don't worry, the price can't be expensive, I make a few deals like this every year.

    Whether the half-big cows you want are fat or thin, the fat ones are more expensive, and the thin ones are naturally cheaper.  "

    Duan Wuji smiled and said: "We naturally want to be thinner, as long as it is cheap."

    The old man named Udunai smiled and said: "You wait here first, I will ride a horse and get you there right away."

    After speaking, the old man got on his horse and ran straight to the northwest. Two hours later, the old man named Udunai came over with seven or eight herds of cattle.

    Each herd has hundreds of cows at least.

    Eight or nine herdsmen came out of the herd.

    Udunai pointed to Duan Wuji and Tieniu with his hand.  "These two are the buyers, you can negotiate the price yourself."

    Duan Wuji glanced at several people and said with a smile: "We only buy the skinny half-big cows. I hope you will pick out this kind of cows if you want to sell them."

    An old man named Battelle laughed and said, "There was a severe drought last year, and the grass didn't grow at all. There are too many of these cattle, so I'll pick them out for you, otherwise this little guy will starve to death within a few days."  It¡¯s better to change some money.¡±

    It is said that the old man picked out more than 20 such cattle from the herd.

    Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Father, just tell me how much these cows cost?"

    After hearing this, the old man stretched out three fingers.

    "I don't ask you for more, how about you give me thirty taels of silver? These calves are all yours."

    After hearing this, Duan Wuji said without saying a word: "Okay, let's make a deal."

    After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji opened the money bag and paid the money.

    The old man named Battelle gave a thumbs up.  "Well, you are the most straightforward Han people I have come into contact with, good job."

    After speaking, the old man drove the cattle away.

    When the remaining families saw it, they also picked this kind of calf from their own herds.

    Duan Wuji talked about the pricers from family to family. In the end, Duan Wuji bought 154 calves and spent 222 taels of silver.

    Duan Wuji looked at the old man named Udunai and said, "Father Udunai, how much money do you want to feed these cows with good grass and good food?"

    The old man thought for a while and said, "You should give me at least three taels of silver."

    Duan Wuji took out ten taels of silver and handed it over.

    "Father, this is ten taels of silver. You can take it. The rest is your benefit fee. Besides, you have to show us the cattle tonight, so we will leave early tomorrow morning on time."

    The old man named Udunai was very happy, put away the money and said: "Don't worry, you won't lose any of your cows. I will pay you ten if you lose one cow. As long as there are good grass and materials, this herd of cows will not go anywhere."  Go. Look, everybody's starving to death."

    Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Then father, you have to worry too much, we will go to bed and rest."

    "You can eat whatever you want, there is beef in the tent, you can eat whatever you want."

    Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Then thank you father, we are indeed hungry."

    The two of them began to practice interest after they got enough food.

    The next day just after dawn, the two of them got up early, collected the horses, and then drove the cattle to bid farewell to Papa Udunai.

    After walking a long distance, Udunai ran after him again.

    "Children of the Han nationality, I forgot to tell you just now, the desert is not peaceful now, there are robbers everywhere, you should pay more attention along the way!"

    Duan Wuji bowed his hands after hearing this.  "Thank you dad for telling me, we know."

    The old man went back after speaking.

    Duan Wuji smiled at Tie.

    "Brother, we have to work hard. You said that if we lose this herd of cattle, we will lose a lot." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
