Chu Qi returned to her residence in the dark, thinking that Lao Niu should have gone to bed at this late hour.
Unexpectedly, when she came closer, she found that the old cow was still lying at the door in high spirits, with his eyes as big as copper bells.
Seeing the cowherd coming home, the old cow greeted him, "You are back."
"Why didn't you go to bed?" Chu Qi came back with a can of chicken soup in her hand. It was put in a bamboo tube and covered with a lid. It was a natural thermos cup. She also covered it with her body temperature, so it was still warm.
She unscrewed the lid and put the chicken soup in front of Lao Niu: "Do you want some chicken soup?"
"Drink." Lao Niu agreed happily and drank it all with his head tilted back.
Chu Qi put the bamboo tube at the door and said, "It's late, go to bed."
Even if I don't sleep, I don't know what to do. It's dark and there's nothing fun to do.
No wonder people in ancient times had many children and good fortune. Since there was nothing to do during the night, they could have used it to make babies.
The old cow said, "That chicken is dirty."
The old cow is a clean cow, which can be seen from the clean cowshed and the fact that it defecates at regular times and places.
Cow poop can also be used to make fire and as fuel. It is pulled out at a fixed time and place, saving the original owner the trouble of shoveling it back.
Chu Qi had put leaves under the hen's buttocks in advance, so she didn't dirty the cowshed. She took the chicken out, hung it at the door, and covered it with straw. "You can come in and sleep now."
There was a bed in the cowshed, where the original owner slept, and the old cow slept in the straw on the ground.
The original owner had been following the old cow for many years, so it was inevitable that he had the smell of cow on him.
Chu Qi sniffed her body. Well, she had just taken a shower yesterday, so it wasn't too smelly.
While her brother and sister-in-law were looking for a wife for her, she took the opportunity to sell her prey and buy a residential plot.
The next morning, Chu Qi slaughtered the last chicken and grilled it before dawn.
She got some salt from her brother and sister-in-law yesterday. Although it was coarse salt and not very tasty, it was better than no salt.
Sprinkling it on the chicken can also be considered a flavor enhancer. A little salt can make the chicken taste completely different and even more delicious.
It was the first time for the old cow to eat salt. He didn’t expect it to be so delicious. It tasted better than eating dry salt, and naturally better than the grass he ate.
As a magical cow, it is naturally not satisfied with just eating grass like ordinary cows.
As an omnivore, the old cow was so happy to be able to follow the cowherd and eat good food that it was so excited that it plowed ten acres of land.
After breakfast, Chu Qi stuffed a straw mat on the cow's back, sat firmly on the cow's back, and headed towards the rich man's house.
Although the old cow looks old and seems to have only a few years to live, Chu Qi checked its vitality and found it to be very strong. She said it is possible that it could help her die of old age, so she sat on its back without any psychological burden.
In the Jin Dynasty, cattle and horses were extremely precious, and poor farmers and scholars mostly relied on donkeys for travel.
It is rare to find a poor peasant like the original owner who has a cow.
This is also the reason why Chu Qi was happy to coax the old cow back. Although there won’t be many places where the old cow can be used in the future, it will be very convenient to travel with it.
Moreover, after all, he was a good friend of the original owner who had been together day and night for such a long time. Even if Chu Qi was helping the original owner to reminisce about the past, he had to tie him up tightly.
And that is - if we don't keep a close eye on it, what if it wants to harm the Weaver Girl again one day?
She must be kept under guard!
The old cow had no idea that Chu Qi was thinking this way. All it could think about now was eating. It was extremely loyal to Chu Qi, a typical example of a mother whoever feeds her is its mother.
