My village can't be like this

Chapter 223 Bezoar
Seeing the old cow in front of him neither eating grass nor drinking water, Zhang An sighed and took it out of the space together.

After some observation just now, Zhang An clearly saw that the old scalper's heart was not only beating slowly, but had also begun to shrink.

In such a situation, it is obvious that he is already terminally ill, even if the Da Luo Immortal comes, it will be difficult to save him.

Even if I don't think about killing it tomorrow, it will not have much time, and it won't live for long.

Thinking of the cattle slaughter, Zhang An realized that he was so stupid that he forgot the most important thing for a while.

Since you can see through in space, why not see if there is bezoar on this old cow.

It was really wrong to forget the most important thing just now because I was only concerned about excitement.

After Zhang An closed the enclosure door, he walked out of the enclosure with a heavy head on his head.

I didn't pay attention when I was excited, but now that I've calmed down, I found that my eyelids are heavy.

This feeling is like carrying a load of more than 100 catties and walking tens of miles in one breath, and I am so tired.

From entering the room to lying on the bed, Zhang An fell asleep within half a minute.

Wang Fang didn't hear Zhang An's movement for a long time. When she came over, she found that Zhang An had already fallen asleep on the bed.

She thought it was because Zhang An drank too much at night, so she didn't care.

After closing the screen window in the room, turn off the light and let Zhang An continue to sleep.

When Zhang An woke up again, it was already four or five o'clock in the morning.

It's already gray outside now, and it should be sunrise time in a while.

Zhang An has not been able to see Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, but he has seen Dashan at four o'clock in the morning many times.

After waking up, Zhang An came into the space, wanting to try the feeling of last night again.

Sure enough, after Zhang An concentrated on observing for a while, he could still see the inside of the animal just like yesterday.

Not only that, but even the meridians inside the branches of plants can be clearly seen.

It seems that this effect of space is not limited to the number of times, Zhang An thinks it should be related to his own spirit.

Last night, I saw the situation that I couldn't see later, probably because I watched it too many times before.

It should be that the mental exhaustion was too serious at that time, after all, I also felt physically exhausted at that time.

This thing is probably like watching a small movie. Although it is very interesting, it is not advisable to watch it too much.

After wandering around in the space for a while, Zhang An was completely awake.

After getting up and washing up, he opened the door and entered the pen room. This time, Zhang An didn't procrastinate, and directly brought the old scalper into the space.

After some careful observation, Zhang An finally found the location of the gallbladder in the belly of the cow.

It is located at the lower edge of the liver on the right side of the cow, that is, where the penultimate or third ribs of the cow meet.

This old cow is very thin, and the ribs are already very obvious.

Even if Zhang An doesn't need perspective, he can quickly find out where this place is.

After some careful observation and confirmation, Zhang An determined that the thing the size of a fist was the gallbladder of a cow.

Because of this thing, Zhang An had met Zheng Butcher's stall many times before.

It's just that when it was on the stall, the cow's gallbladder was cut off, so it was hung into a long pile.

But in the belly of the cow, there are other organs and tissues to hold it up, which makes it look more like a meat bun.

Through the skin of the gallbladder, Zhang An saw something that made him extremely excited.

This thing looked like an irregular stone, but Zhang An couldn't see clearly what color it was.

However, as long as Zhang An can confirm that there is a hard object in the cow's gallbladder, he should be close to each other.

Zhang An looked at the hard object in the gallbladder, the size and scale seemed to be a little bigger than the duck eggs at home.

At this time, Zhang An was a little puzzled, if this lump was really bezoar.

According to this size, it cannot be formed in just one year.

According to Wu Dapao, when the cow was bought by his family, it was already a big cow that could pull a plow.

I have been raised in their house for several years before and after, and it was quite normal before.

It was since last year that the cow lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was out of control.

So if according to old man Wu, the cow started suffering from gallstones more than a year ago.

Even now it's only been a year and a half, it's impossible to have such a big lump of bezoar.

If the cow was slaughtered in the end, the lump Zhang An saw was really bezoar.

That means the cow had gallstones many years ago.

It may also be that the previous symptoms were relatively mild, and the cow did not react like a human.

Only when the stone grows to a certain extent, it will start to feel uncomfortable.

Zhang An guessed that when the cow started losing meat at Wu Dapao's house last year, it was when the condition worsened.

If this is the case, I don't know whether it is good luck or bad luck for their family.

Zhang An came out of the space and found that it was still early, and it was not even five o'clock.

Although I couldn't fall asleep, I went back to bed and continued to lie down.

This time is neither too early nor too late, and it is not very suitable to find anything to do.

It wasn't until after dawn that Zhang An got up and started cooking breakfast.

After Zhang An cooked porridge a few times before, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo liked it quite a bit.

So Zhang An didn't plan to do anything else today, and continued to cook porridge.

Needless to say, this porridge tastes quite delicious when paired with moldy tofu and dried tempeh from home.

After breakfast, Zhang An drove his father to the town together, planning to ask Butcher Zheng to help slaughter the cattle.

Zhang An originally felt that the family didn't know him well, so it was not good to invite him rashly.

But the old mother at home said that Zhang An's father, Zhang Jianguo, had guarded the forest farm with Zheng Tuhu before, and the relationship was still close.

Originally, the father and son planned to inform others in the morning, and then slaughter the cattle by themselves in the afternoon.

Because I thought that Tuhu Zheng would set up a stall in the morning, and he couldn't delay other people's business because of his own affairs.

But when they went to the town, they found that butcher Zheng didn't come to open the stall today, so the two had to go to the door to find it.

But Butcher Zheng's house happened to be in the town, and he found it in about ten minutes after walking out from the street.

"Old Zheng, why didn't you open your stall today?"

Arriving in the courtyard of Zheng Tuhu's house, he found that the man had just woken up.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw a big black wolf dog rushing out.

Zhang An saw the dog and knew that the owner's family had raised it well.

The black light on his body, coupled with his tall body and strong limbs, gave him a mighty and ferocious look.

Especially the tail behind it, like a big iron rod.

Moreover, when the dog ran, it felt stable and stable, without staggering at all.

Most people can't raise such a dog, because it can't be raised by feeding it.

But Zhang An thought about what Zheng Butcher's family was doing, and he knew it in his heart. It is estimated that this dog usually eats less meat.

"Dahei, go back."

It may be that Zhang Jianguo yelled that Butcher Zheng had already come out of the house at this moment.

Seeing their big black dog rushing out, he hurriedly called him back.

"Hey, Jianguo, you don't have a meeting today, why did you come to the street?"

Butcher Zheng smiled when he saw Zhang Jianguo and his son.

It's just that this face is full of flesh, coupled with this soft smile, it looks a little scary.

"I'm here to ask you for help today, Xiao An, this is Uncle Zheng."

While Zhang Jianguo was talking to Zheng Xueli, he asked Zhang An to call someone.

"Don't listen to your father, you can just call me Butcher Zheng. Everyone calls me that way. Your old man asked you to call me Uncle Zheng. I always feel that this guy has bad intentions. Does he want to give up the red envelope?"

Although Zheng Xueli spoke with a bold air, Zhang An felt that he might have a really good relationship with his father.

Generally, only acquaintances with very good relationships can be so invisible to storytellers.

"Hey, Uncle Butcher."

Zhang An followed Zheng Xueli's intentions, and he was no stranger to shouting like this.

"This is Zhang An from your family, I haven't seen you for a long time, and he has grown so tall."

"Come, come, sit at home."

With that said, Zheng Xueli brought Zhang An and his son home.

Zheng Xueli's daughter-in-law saw someone coming, so she made a pot of tea and poured it for the two of them, and Zhang An also called aunt.

"After the last cow was slaughtered, it was sold out yesterday. Let's rest for two days before slaughtering the cow and starting the stall."

After entering the room, Zheng Xueli chatted with Zhang Jianguo.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, just now you said you needed to find me, what's the matter?"

"It's like this, our family has a cow to be slaughtered, so I came to you, my master."

After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Jianguo opened his mouth to tell the story.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, your family has made a lot of money now, and I have killed my fellow."

Zheng Xueli was quite surprised that Zhang An's family wanted to slaughter a cow.

It is normal for people in the country to slaughter pigs, but it is also when there is a big family event or during the Chinese New Year.

In the mid-July-August period, cattle are about to be slaughtered. That's not an ordinary family.

Moreover, he looked at Zhang Jianguo and his son, and it didn't look like there was something important at home.

"It's not the same as asking for a living if you don't want to send it."

Seeing Zheng Xueli making fun of himself, Zhang An Jianguo told him the story.

After Zheng Xueli heard this, he agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, I don't plan to set up a stall today, and I'm just idle, so I went to help out.

Originally, I was worried that Zheng Xueli would be busy selling stalls, so I planned to slaughter the cattle in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, this person was fine in the morning, so Zhang Jianguo planned to go back and kill him.

It just happened to be finished, and I could still catch up with lunch.

On the way back, Zheng Xueli was not with Zhang An.

Instead, he rode his own motorcycle and followed Zhang An's car with their big wolf dog.

Zheng Xueli guessed that the conditions of his old friend's family must have improved since Zhang Jianguo said that he was called to kill cattle.

Especially after seeing Zhang An and his son get into the car, they came to the village and looked at this big three-story bungalow, which is not something ordinary people can own.

But Zheng Xueli just sighed, not envious.

Because he has relied on the business of selling beef for so many years, and his family's conditions are not bad.

Entering the courtyard of Zhang An's house, there were some mighty and high-spirited big wolfhounds.

After seeing a few of Xiaohu, he began to cringe.

"Good dog, old Zhang, these dogs in your family are all good."

This is the first time Zheng Xueli has encountered a dog that can make his big wolfhound fearful.

Especially those three big dogs, squatting on the ground like a calf.

"Haha, those are all raised by Xiao An for fun, and they are often brought into the mountains on weekdays."

Seeing Zheng Xueli praising his dog, Zhang Jianguo was very happy, and he himself liked the dog very much.

Zheng Xueli understood it as soon as he heard it. No wonder his dog was scared like this. It turned out that he often went to the mountains to roam the waves.

He has guarded the forest farm for several years and knows the difference between the dogs in the mountains and the outside.

After spending some time making preparations, Zhang Jianguo led the cow out.

Even Zhang Jianguo told Zheng Xueli how thin the cow was in advance.

But when he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt a little appalling.

Many cows have passed through his hands over the years, but this is the first time he has seen such a thin cow.

Later, when the cattle were being slaughtered, Zhang An returned home on the pretext of looking for something.

Because the process of killing cattle was too cruel, Zhang An really couldn't stand it.

When Zhang An came out, Zheng Xueli had already begun to peel the skin with a knife.

In the end, it took more than two hours, and the cow was finally slaughtered. Manual slaughtering of cows is still not as fast as the machines of later generations.

A normal scalper of this size would usually yield three to four hundred catties or more of clean meat.

But this cow's internal organs and big bones were removed, and the clean meat was less than [-] catties.

There are all beef bones piled up next to it, and there really isn't much meat.

It is conceivable how skinny this cow is, and there is no meat left.

The butcher Zheng next to him shook his head at this rate of meat production. If he relied on this beef to produce meat, he would probably die.

It was still early at the end, and Zheng Xueli began to deal with the internal organs.

After cleaning out the beef heart, beef liver, beef kidney, etc., Zheng Xueli washed it and put it in the basin next to it.

When it came to the gallbladder, Zheng Xueli paid special attention.

When he was at their house, Zhang Jianguo told him that the main purpose of killing cattle this time was to see if there were any yellows.

So now when the gallbladder was cut out and brought out, Zheng Xueli gently squeezed the gallbladder underneath.

"Old Zhang, it's in stock, and it's not too small."

Zheng Xueli could clearly feel that there was something hard inside the gallbladder.

He doesn't even need to think about it now, this thing is the bezoar that Zhang An's family has been thinking about.

Hearing Zheng Xueli's shout, the people who were helping to deal with other parts immediately surrounded him.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Then Zheng Xueli took a butcher's knife and cut an incision from the top of the gallbladder.

Slowly took out the stone in the gallbladder, and a stone slightly bigger than a duck egg appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Jianguo hurried over with a plate, and put it on the plate without washing it mixed with bile.

This thing is too valuable, and he is afraid that if he washes it, he will lose some money, which will be a big loss.

And Zhang An is also sure at this moment that he was in the space in the morning, and he did not make a mistake.
