Chapter 06: A Cow That Gets Loose
When Liu Yiyi returned home humming a little song with a basket on his back, the house was also full of joy.
Because there is an extra cow in the house. Yes, an earthy yellow, half-sized calf. And judging from Yanagichi's many years of breeding experience, this cow seems to be sick. The eyes are big and unfocused, and the thighs are soft and loose, this is a sick cow that has been pulling for I don't know how many days.
Seeing Liu Yiyi coming back, Liu Xiaohui, the youngest and most annoying person in the family, ran up, took Liu Yiyi's hand and said happily: "Brother, look, we also have cattle in our family!" Such a big head! ”
"Oh, really?" Liu Yiyi put down the basket, bent over to pick up Liu Xiaohui, and asked with a smile, "Then do you know when this cow was bought?" ”
"Of course I do!" Liu Xiaohui raised her head, wrinkled her Xiaoqiong nose and said proudly: "Dad bought it this afternoon, I was outside the door at the time, and I was the first to see it!" ”
"The first to see?! Hehe, our Xiaohui is amazing! Liu Yiyi scraped Liu Xiaohui's nose dotingly. It made Liu Xiaohui laugh out loud.
Liu He stepped forward to pick up Liu Xiaohui, who was pestering Liu Yiyi, and asked with concern: "Yi Yi must be tired when he came back so early, right?" ”
"No, I'm not tired at all, today's business is good, and there are only a dozen of white siads sold in a large basket." After saying that, Liu Yi circled the calf twice, and asked Liu honestly, who was smiling on the side, "Dad, where did you buy this cow?" ”
Liu honestly replied with a smile: "This is Lao Xia's family in the neighboring village, and their cow has two cubs, this is one of them, as long as it costs five yuan, it is half cheaper than others." At that time, I happened to come across it and bought it with a ruthless heart. You see, it's good. With it, it will be much easier for our family to farm again in the future. ”
Liu Laoshi was very excited when he spoke, and it is no wonder that a cow in the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to a tractor in the 21st century. Having a cow is the dream of every farmer in this era.
Although he didn't want to say it, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but pour cold water on Liu Laoshi, "Dad, Wuguan silver is indeed very cheap, but don't you see it?" It's a sick cow! ”
"Sick cow?" The smile on Liu Laoshi's face froze on his face, he looked at the cow, then at Liu Yiyi, and said after a long time: "Yiyi, you are wrong, you see how strong this cow grows, how can it be a sick cow?" ”
In order to confirm his words, Liu Laoshi deliberately patted the cow's back hard.
"Poof~" There was a loud bang, and a foul smell emanated from the cow's thighs.
"Intestinal ?!!" Liu was so choked that he couldn't speak.
"Gut-pi?" Liu Yiyi patted his head and thought about it for a long time before he remembered that Laxi did have such a name in ancient times.
"I'll go find him!" Liu Laoshi is very hot, what is the difference between a cow with intestinal disease and a dead cow? He can't afford to suffer this hidden loss, and the five yuan is his savings for five or six years. He couldn't let it just waste on a cow that was going to die.
"Daddy!" Liu Yiyi stopped Liu honestly and said, "What's the use of you going to him, you have already given the money, will people still admit that it was a sick cow that sold you?" Maybe he'll bite you back, saying you've sickened the cow and trying to blackmail him. There's no basis for this, and it's useless for you to go. And five dollars can buy a sick cow, so we don't suffer a loss. ”
"One, gut! What is the difference between a cow with this disease and a dead cow? Is the money gone? ”
"It's okay, Dad, I can cure this disease!" Liu's firm and powerful voice made Liu's excited mood steady. He asked with a puzzled face, "Yiyi, what did you say?" Can you cure this disease? ”
"Yes, Dad. Leave this cow to me, or it will be well in a few days. Your money will never be spent in vain. Liu Yiyi smiled faintly and gave Liu Laoshi a calm look.
"Really? How did I not know that you could still treat cattle? "Liu honestly still doesn't believe it, Liu Yiyi has been living under his nose, what can Liu Yiyi do to be a father?
"Dad, this is a little secret of mine, don't ask. Just give me the cow with confidence, and I'll make sure you're healed." ”
"Mother, it stinks so much here, shall we enter the house?" Liu Xiaohui pinched her nose and whispered to Liu He.
"Alright, alright, let's go inside." Liu He walked to the house with Liu Xiaohui in his arms. The cow's affairs are handled by the men in the family, and she doesn't have to be a woman. All she has to do now is watch the children and get dinner ready.
"Mother, is there garlic in the house?" Liu Yiyi pushed the door into the kitchen, and Liu Xiaohui, who had been bored, immediately glued up.
"Garlic? No, there's that hanging on the wall over there, go get it. Liu He pointed casually.
Liu Yiyi gently picked up Liu Xiaohui and said, "Okay, Xiaohui, accompany my brother to peel garlic!" ”
"One, what are you doing when you peel so much garlic, your father and your second brother don't like to eat it, and they will be trampled upon if they peel too much."
Liu Yiyi said with a smile: "Mother, you can't be trampled, this is for the treatment of cows, the more the merrier." By the way, why hasn't Nijo come back yet, and it's time for him to get out of school at this time, right? ”
Liu He said: "Erjo, they invited a foreign gentleman to give a lecture, and they won't be back until a while." Listening to Erjo, this gentleman is very famous in the Chang'an area. ”
Liu Yiyi nodded, although Sanyuan County is a poor county, Lai Hao is also on the edge of the imperial capital, and it is still easy to invite a gentleman with a little knowledge. It's just that the statement of fame must contain a lot of water, and it's just private propaganda. He had seen this kind of thing a lot before when he was in college.
Liu Yiyi smashed all the peeled more than a pound of garlic, and took a few liquors that Liu Laoshi drank for a long time, and made up a small porcelain pot of garlic old wine soup. That's how he treats cow diarrhea. Garlic is sterilized, and old wine dispels cold. Whether it is a human or an animal, as long as you have diarrhea and diarrhea, this trick will be tried. Drink it three or four times, no matter how thin you pull, it will stop you.
"That's it?!" Liu Laoshi pointed to the garlic soup handed to him by Liu Yiyi with extreme suspicion, and said, "That's it, it can also cure diseases?!" ”
