Hearing Yunjing¡¯s words, Yunlin was stunned and even forgot to give Yunshan straw.
To be honest, Yunlin is still very excited about the idea of ??buying a cow. Cow, what farmer doesn¡¯t want to own one? That is the main labor force in a farmer's home. One cow can work as hard as several adult laborers, and it can work very quickly.
For example, the richest man in the village, Yun Dajun, has a big buffalo in his family. His family has nearly 100 acres of land, which is the largest in the village. However, just because he has a cow, his family is the first to plant all the land every year. As you can imagine, a cow How important.
In addition to farming, cattle can also bring extra income to a family. Take the family of Yun Dajun, the richest man in the village, for example. His cattle can also be used to make money during the slack season. The villagers don¡¯t know how many envious.
Although Yun Dajun¡¯s family is not the only one who has cattle in Xiaoxi Village, in a word, cattle are treasures in farmers¡¯ homes, and they are often more valuable than people.
Thinking of the many benefits of owning a cow, Yunlin subconsciously made some calculations.
He murmured: "Our family has about forty-seven taels of silver. If we build a house, the bricks and tiles required for three brick houses will cost an estimated fifteen taels. We can cut the wood in the forest, and the cost is negligible. , it will take about two months to build, and the carpenters and masons will cost about five taels of silver. Small laborers and the like can ask the villagers for help. It is free of charge. They only need to feed them three times a day, and then they will have to pay to build the house. Tax, hiss, what about the house building tax of two taels of silver? The government is too shady. No wonder the villagers would rather live in a shabby place than build a house for the money. Although I have money now, I am still a little reluctant, and then miscellaneous In total, it is estimated that we will have to spend four to five taels of silver to go out. Calculating conservatively, we will still have about 20 taels of silver left in the end, which should be enough to buy a cow"
When he was calculating, he also mixed in some personal complaints about the government, but in the end he came to the conclusion that if he bought a cow, the family could still barely afford it.
¡°But if he builds a house and buys cattle, his family will become poor again.
In the end, his heart skipped a beat. He was building a house and buying cattle. This home seemed to have grown a little unknowingly
But the problem is that if you think about it, you can actually achieve it!
Yun Lin, who had been poor all his life, was in a daze. He felt a bit like he was dreaming. Things that he had never dared to think about before suddenly began to come true.
¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about being hungry, you live in a new house, you still have cows, are you really not dreaming?
¡°Then his eye circles started to turn red, thinking of his dead wife. There was a drought ten years ago, and there was almost no harvest from the fields. Yunjing¡¯s grandma starved to death
She was not able to live the good life she has now. She followed herself in poverty for decades, and finally ended up starving to death. How cruel God was to her!
"Dad, you don't really want to buy a cow, do you? Are you serious about what Xiao Jing said?" Seeing that Yun Lin had been silent for a long time, Yun Shan couldn't help but look down at him and said in shock.
After sniffing, Yun Lin looked up at him and asked, "Isn't it difficult for you to think that you don't want to have a cow at home?"
"I think about it, of course I do. I have never dreamed of it. If I had a cow at home, it would be so much easier to work. I wish I could sleep next to the cow upstairs every day. But can our family really afford a cow with this condition?" Yunshan nodded and scratched his head.
Hearing what he said, Jiang Susu, who was collecting shoe soles by the fire pond, rolled her eyes at him and said: "Then if our family buys a cow from now on, you can go to the cow pen and sleep with the cow."
"Hey, that won't work, it's still the wife holding the fragrance," Yunshan said with a wink and a smile.
Jiang Susu quickly lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red and said: "Bah, you're not doing anything right."
Yunshan coughed awkwardly and said, "If you want to buy a cow, I just did some calculations and it shouldn't be a big problem. But if it doesn't work, let's secretly make some candy and sell it."
"That is to say, dad, you are definitely going to buy a cow? Are we going to have a cow in our family?" Yunshan grasped the key points and raised his voice and said in surprise, almost falling off the ladder. You can imagine how excited he was inside.
Yun Lin quickly held up the stairs and scolded: "Be careful, don't fall. You are a father and you are not stable at all. And I suddenly realized that buying a cow is probably an imperative thing. The villagers already know about the farm manure. It will be difficult to get manure in the wild in the future. If we buy a cow, our family will not be short of farm manure."
¡° Buying a cow can not only do work, but sometimes you can also earn some extra money. It is also equivalent to buying a manure making machine. You can achieve multiple benefits with one stone. There are so many benefits.
Thinking of the many benefits, Yunshan suddenly said with joy: "Our family is about to have a cow. It's great to have a cow."
"Don't be happy now. Whether it's building a house or buying a cow, it will be a matter of the coming year. Now let's put down the roof first.""Let's talk about it later." Yunlin shook his head and smiled. He was also very happy inside and full of endless longing for the future life.
"Yes, let's repair the roof first. I don't know why, but now I feel that I have endless energy. The weather doesn't seem to be that cold anymore. I can't wait to dig two acres of land to calm down, hehe," Yunshan said with a smile. Happy to repair the roof.
Seeing his father¡¯s excitement, Yun Jingxin said that if he were on the ground, he might jump for joy.
This is a poor family, it is too easy to be satisfied
"The cold winter seems to be extremely long for poor families, but Yunjing's family has great expectations for the coming year. Time seems to pass slower, and they can't wait for next year to come early.
No matter how slowly time passes, it will never stop because of someone.
Winter has passed before you know it, and Yunjing has also ushered in his third year in this world.
He is three years old.
In the winter, his family failed to produce maltose. It was too cold and the wheat did not germinate.
After the beginning of spring, his family secretly made a few kilograms of maltose. With experience, the quality this time was better than last time. The batch of maltose was divided into two parts, and one part was wrapped tightly in a bamboo tube. , asked Aunt Wang from the village to help bring it to Yunjing's father-in-law's family when she went to visit relatives, as a favor to the bear skin last time, and the other one was kept at home to satisfy the occasional craving, and could be sold when necessary. Change money for emergency.
Not to mention, the bear skin sent by Yun Jing's father-in-law, whom he had never met before, was really warm. It was very comfortable for him to wear in winter. He didn't know how much the bear skin was worth. It wouldn't be cheap after all. Of course, it was sent as a gift. Maltose is not cheap either, so this is a favor.
It is worth mentioning that after the beginning of spring, the Yunjing family did not build a house, but they bought a cow first. A buffalo that was more than one year old was already able to plow the land. The original owner of the buffalo taught him well, and he could do it after he bought it. The work coincided with the start of spring farming, which was a great help to the family.
The villagers couldn¡¯t be more envious.
The reason why I bought the cow first was because there was no farmyard manure to pick up in the village. The villagers followed his example and used farmyard manure. Now you can¡¯t even see any excrement in the wild in the village. People have to hold it in their homes for fear of being caught. Get rid of it. Even children carry bamboo baskets with them when they go out. If they see daddy anywhere, they rush to it
So this family urgently needed a manure making machine, so they bought a cow first.
Yunjing couldn¡¯t laugh or cry about this. The family really thought that the cow was a manure maker, and the cow manure could not be pooped on the go.
Buying a cow was originally a very happy thing, but when I came back to Yunlin on the day of buying the cow, I was always cursed and looked bad. Because buying a cow has to go to the government to register, and it must be proved every year that the cow is alive and cannot be slaughtered at will. , if you slaughter a farm cow innocently, you will go to jail!
"These are all secondary. The main thing is that the person who buys the cow has to pay tax. It costs a whole tael of silver. It's strange that he can look good.
The cow cost eighteen taels of silver, plus one tael of tax, which added up to nineteen taels.
Strictly speaking, the cow is not entirely his family's. If the cow dies of old age in the future, the horns, tendons, and hides must be given to the government. At that time, with a certificate issued by the government proving that the cow died of old age, the family can handle the beef by itself, regardless of Whether you are eating or selling, you have to go through the process first (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
