Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

Chapter 173 Watching the Cow

She arrived early, and there were not many people in the dental clinic, making it seem deserted.

Bai Zhizhi wandered around the dental shop curiously.

It is called a Yahang, but it is actually just a street. There is a big sign hanging at the front of the street with the two big words "Yahhang" written on it.

The streets are divided into storefronts, some open-air and some with houses.

Perhaps because it was cold, the doors of the houses were half-open, but through the gaps, you could still vaguely glimpse a glimpse of the scenes inside.

Bai Zhizhi happened to see the slave being whipped by the steward and quickly looked away.

Maybe she had stayed here for too long. When Bai Zhizhi was checking quietly again, a man who looked like a manager came out.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

Bai Zhizhi looked at the person who came with curiosity. He was a tall man wearing a simple cotton coat without any extra decorations. At first glance, he looked a bit ferocious.

"I want to buy a cow."

Bai Zhizhi nodded slightly at him.

The man was not surprised at all. He just turned around and shouted to the people in the next room, "Shanzi, take this lady to the cowshed to have a look."

A man quickly ran out of the house. He was a young man wearing a tattered jacket with patches piled on top of each other.

Bai Zhizhi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She didn't expect that there would be people dressed like this in the dental clinic.

She thought that anyone who could do this kind of business must have some money.

"Ma'am, the cowshed is in this direction. Please go this way."

Shanzi led the way as he spoke, and occasionally said a few words to introduce the things around him.

As we got closer to the cowshed, a strange smell slowly emerged in the air, as if it was the smell of an animal.

Bai Zhizhi couldn't describe what the feeling was, but it was a very obvious smell.

The cowshed is really just a shed with ventilation on all sides, but it covers a large area. There are seven or eight cows lying or standing inside, and there is an old man feeding the cows.

"Uncle Ya, this lady wants to buy a cow." Shanzi greeted the old man with a smile.

The old man turned around and looked at Bai Zhizhi curiously.

"The cows are all here, ma'am, just look at them."

Bai Zhizhi didn't think there was anything wrong and just started reading.

She didn't know how to choose a cow, but she could roughly tell which cow was good and which was bad.

The three or four lying on the ground were not in good condition. They looked sick and seemed like they would die at any time.

The few that were standing were fine, looking energetic and eating grass seriously.

"Can I get closer and take a look?" Bai Zhizhi asked the old man curiously.

"Sure." Uncle Ya was just focused on feeding grass nearby and ignored her.

Shanzi enthusiastically introduced them to her, "Don't mind, Madam. Uncle Ya is just like that, but he's a good person. Do you want to see these cows?"

"Well, do you know the situation of these cows?" Bai Zhizhi asked casually.

Shanzi's eyes lit up. He had just seen the information about these cows, which could be used.

"I know. Madam, just tell me what you want to know."

Bai Zhizhi looked at him in surprise. Why did she feel that this kid was a little silly? Could he have just started working?

“How old are these cows?”

Hearing the question, Shanzi immediately introduced the cows, "These two cows are older, more than ten years old, but they are both skilled at work. This one is about eight years old, this one is younger, about seven years old, and this one is even younger, only two or three years old. If they want to work, they still need a little more..."

Shanzi opened the cow's mouth to check its teeth while introducing it to Bai Zhizhi.

Bai Zhizhi listened with great interest and asked a few more questions when she heard something interesting.

After looking around, her eyes finally stopped on the two cows that were seven or eight years old.

Although she bought the cow to pull the cart, she would definitely use it to plow the fields when she was busy. Older cows are naturally not as useful as strong cows.
