Return to the small mountain village in 1986

While the middle-aged man was thinking about his thoughts, Gao Mingcheng was also considering whether to buy the sick cow.

This cow has been sick for more than a year. In addition to being thin, red eyes, high temperature, and howling incessantly, there are no obvious sores on the body. Then it can be ruled out that this cow has infectious diseases and acute fatal diseases.

He naturally noticed the glint in the cattle seller's eyes and knew that the middle-aged man was not as honest as he said.

If Gao Mingcheng buys this cow, the probability of producing a bezoar is only 50.00%.If there is no bezoar, he can't afford to lose, but if there is, then he can make a lot of money.

But if he buys the sick cow, his reputation as a fool and rich man will probably spread throughout the county. The advantage of this reputation is that people in surrounding towns who have sick cows will take the initiative to find him.

But this kind of reputation also has a downside, and that is being laughed at behind your back.

Gamble or not?
Gao Mingcheng asked himself in his heart. He kept comparing the sick cow in front of him with the sick cow owned by Old Man Gao to see if the performance of the two was the same.

"Boss Gao..." The middle-aged man selling cattle couldn't help but become anxious when he saw Gao Mingcheng not speaking. Just when he asked, Gao Mingcheng finally made a decision.

Take a gamble!
If God does not take, you will be blamed instead!
The worst he can do is lose a few hundred yuan. If he loses this time, then he won't be interested in sick cows anymore!
Gao Mingcheng said: "Since you have relatives from Xiaoyuan Village, you know that Old Man Gao and I have the same roots. I learned that his grandson was sick and the family had no money for treatment, so I bought it at a high price. His sick cow.”

"As for you and me, there is no blood connection, so it is naturally impossible for me to buy your sick cow at a high price."

After Gao Mingcheng finished speaking, the middle-aged man selling the cow immediately turned ugly.

Could it be that his trip was in vain?

This time, the light in his eyes disappeared and turned into darkness.

Gao Mingcheng was right, he was with him for no reason, and if he didn't buy it, there was nothing he could do about it.

Just when the middle-aged man was disappointed, Gao Mingcheng said again: "But you brought the cow here early in the morning, which shows that the family is really in trouble. I hope to sell the cow as soon as possible. I can't let you go to waste. Let’s do this, 600 yuan, if you agree, I will buy it.”

"If you don't agree, you can take the cow away now. Its constant howling is affecting my store's business."

Gao Mingcheng's words made the middle-aged man selling cattle become entangled.

Old Man Gao's cow that had been sick for two years was sold for 800 yuan, while his cow that had been sick for more than a year could only be sold for [-] yuan.

This price inevitably caused him some psychological disparity.

He looked at the cow and hesitated.

His act of selling sick cows attracted the attention of passers-by, and the owners of nearby shops also watched curiously.

The sick cow was already agitated and howling non-stop. Now that it was surrounded by people, it became even more agitated. It kept moving. It took a lot of effort for the middle-aged man to hold the rope.

Seeing his hesitation, Gao Mingcheng immediately urged: "Leave if you don't want to sell, this cow has pooped in front of my store!"

"I'll sell it!" Urged by Gao Mingcheng, the middle-aged man immediately made a decision.

Although the price of 600 yuan was not as good as he expected, it was still okay and higher than the price offered by the cattle dealer.

Even so, the middle-aged man still felt distressed at the loss.

An eight-year-old bullock weighs more than 1000 kilograms before it gets sick!Every spring and summer, you can make a lot of money by lending your cattle to others to plow fields. They are also used for pulling grain and firewood.

You can save a lot by collecting cow dung all year round, and if you sell it, you can sell it for thousands of pieces.

But since I got sick, I have been seeking medical treatment from the veterinarian and buying veterinary medicine for the cow, but it has always been bad. Not only did I eat less, but I also howled incessantly, making the family unable to rest well.

Seeing that he is getting thinner day by day, if he doesn't take action, he will only suffer more losses.After the two reached a deal, they paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other hand, and the money and goods were both received.

The middle-aged man put away the money, took a deep look at the scalper who had been with him for eight years, then turned and left.

When the onlookers saw that Gao Mingcheng had bought the cow, they started talking and felt that Gao Mingcheng had made a loss. Boss Zhu next to the clothing store also asked: "Boss Gao, you spent money to buy this sick cow. What are your plans?" How to deal with it? Call the butcher to kill it?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "Send it back to the village first, and then ask a veterinarian to check it. If it looks good, I can keep it for a while and I can still make a profit. If it doesn't look good, I can only kill it."

"Hey, I'm afraid I didn't see it well. If I saw it well, would that person just sell it to you?"

"Yes! I don't know what kind of disease this cow has. If it's serious, the meat can't be eaten, right?"

"It should be inedible."

Seeing that everyone was concerned about whether the meat could be eaten, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, even if you kill it, I won't send it to the county to sell it. If it can't be eaten, I will bury the sick cow."

"Then you're not at a big loss?" Someone asked in surprise.

"It's a loss, just think of it as a good deed." Gao Mingcheng said casually. He was about to put the cow on the tractor body, so he said: "Don't hang around, I will send the cow to the village first." To get cured.”

"How beautiful, please take a broom and dustpan to sweep up this cow dung!"

"Hey, okay." Duo Mei responded and went to the backyard to get a broom and dustpan.

Gao Shufang sighed helplessly and complained to Luo Li and others around her: "Sometimes the second brother is too talkative!"

Luo Li and others were convinced.

Gao Mingcheng only told many beauties about the bezoar.

Therefore, when he bought the sick cow again, only Many Mei understood him. Others felt that he had suffered a big loss and could not understand why he did such a thankless thing.

Gao Mingcheng ignored everyone's thoughts. He put the struggling and howling sick cow into the bed of the truck, then went straight to the store that sold plastic bottles. After buying enough bottles, he drove all the way back to Gaojiacun.

Chen Duofu knew that honey was going to be shaken today, so he had been waiting here for a long time.

As a result, Gao Mingcheng brought a cow back.

Chen Duofu grew up in the village and had seen many cows, so he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this cow.

Gao Mingcheng unloaded the cow from the cart and tied it under the shade of a tree.

He wasn't lying. He really planned to ask a veterinarian to take a look.

What if the meat of this sick cow cannot be eaten?
He killed it directly last time to get the bezoar. He also knew that Old Man Gao's sick cow had gallstones, but he was not sure what kind of disease the cow was suffering from.

Another thing, if this cow also suffers from gallstones, then the longer the disease lasts, the bigger the bezoar will be in the body!

Originally, he bought this cow just to bet on whether there was a bezoar, so he was naturally willing to spend more time waiting for a better result!

Gao Mingcheng briefly explained the process of buying the cow, and then said to Chen Duofu: "You go to shake the honey first, and I'll hire a veterinarian to treat the cow."

Chen Duofu also couldn't understand why Gao Mingcheng did such a thankless job, but when the boss spoke, he carried the honey shaker and honey cutter to the place where the beehives were placed. (End of chapter)
