The Lin family was not in a hurry to leave the city, but instead strolled around the city.
"This broken green stone can actually be sold for three cents?" Lin's mother said in surprise. You know, this kind of stone can be found everywhere in her hometown.
Father Lin said, "You have a woman's opinion. The green stone is not valuable. What is valuable is the carving."
Little sister Lin Ling looked at the ginseng scattered around and tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve: "Brother, isn't this the corn we use to feed the sheep in our village?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, then said to his younger sister, "It's different. Ours are several decades or even more than ten years old, but theirs are hundreds of years old. It's said that after a few hundred years, they have medicinal properties."
The little sister nodded. There was a lot of this thing in their hometown, everywhere, and cattle and sheep loved to eat it.
This place is very prosperous for the Lin family, but it also means high consumption. They strolled around and bought nothing, with only a few dozen dollars in their pockets, which they had to save for future emergencies. It would be difficult to meet a big customer like today who bought all the water.
The family's clothes were very shabby, and they looked like they were from two different civilized worlds compared to the people in the city. Their skin was also very rough from being exposed to the wind and sun for a long time.
Everyone in the city was hiding, fearing that this family would come to beg for food. People are like this, they always judge people by their appearance, and they always respect Luo Shang first before respecting others.
But what they didn't expect was that the food this family ate was many times better than theirs, and they were all delicacies they had never seen before.
"We've been walking around for the whole morning, let's get out of the city first! The inns in this city are too expensive, we can't afford to stay here." Father Lin urged.
Land is very expensive in the city, so it is impossible for the family to use the container house to spend the night. There is no place for them to put it, and it will be easily exposed.
Although this place is good, it is not a place they can stay. The sooner they arrive at King Qi's fiefdom, the sooner they can feel at ease.
"Let's buy a stroller first! This way Ying'er won't have to work so hard." Lin's mother suggested.
Lin's father and Lin Feng slapped their foreheads, thinking that women were really attentive. They had forgotten about this.
So the family came to a market selling wooden carts. It was a cattle and horse market where livestock and cart frames were for sale.
The smell was terrible, and the livestock feces were everywhere, which was disgusting.
"Ying'er, if you don't want to go in, just wait for me outside!" Lin Feng suggested. He saw his wife covering her mouth and wanting to vomit. It seemed that she couldn't stand the smell.
Lin's mother also said: "Yes, son, just go in, we will wait outside."
Lin Feng nodded, then walked into the market alone.
He couldn't afford an ox-drawn cart, so he could only buy a sturdier cart, so he went straight to the place where carts were sold.
"Snap, snap!" The sound of whips rang out.
"You beast, get up now!"
Lin Feng looked over curiously and saw a man whipping a cow. The cow was obviously in a bad mood and looked sick.
"Niu Er, quickly pull your cow away! Be careful that it doesn't infect our livestock again." The dealer on the side urged, pulling his own cow aside.
Niu Er became even angrier when he heard this and swung the whip even harder. The whipped cow lay on the ground without making a sound or moving, and looked very sick.
An old dealer came over, took a look, and said to Niu Er, "Why are you hitting it? This cow can't survive. It's too sick. It's a waste of effort to hit it."
"Uncle San, what should I do? I was thinking of selling it to supplement the family income and buy some black rice to take home!" Niu Er complained to the old man. He knew that his uncle San was an old businessman who was an expert in taking care of livestock. Since he said that the cow could not survive, then it must not survive.
The old man called Third Uncle also sighed, and then said to Niu Er: "Once this cow is sick, it is difficult to cure, and people can't eat its meat. It's also your fault for not taking good care of it. Just think of this as a lesson for yourself! I am powerless."
When Niu Er heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. His whole family depended on the money from selling the cows to make a living!
Lin Feng looked at the cow carefully. He didn't know whether it was hurt by the beating or knew it could not survive, but tears flowed from the corners of its eyes.
"Can my spiritual spring water save it?" Lin Feng suddenly thought of the spiritual spring water in his space tower.
"It should be possible. I was injured so badly, but I could still be rescued, let alone an old cow?" Lin Feng thought of this and was about to step forward to ask.
But unexpectedly, someone spoke first, "I'll buy your cow for twenty coins."
The person who was speaking was well-dressed, had a fat body, but had small eyes, and looked like a wealthy person.
"Twenty cents? This cow is not so cheap. Aren't you looking for trouble?" Niu Er got angry when he heard it. This guy was taking advantage of the situation to rob him!
The visitor was calm and collected. "A good cow is valuable, but don't you see how sick this cow is? It's better than just throwing it away and letting it rot."
"Are you the manager of the Hong Family Restaurant?" asked the old vendor called Uncle San.
The visitor nodded and said, "We're taking this cow back to feed the red wolf. My young master has a red wolf. People are afraid of getting sick from eating it, but this red wolf is not afraid. It can eat anything."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. This red wolf is indeed not afraid of anything. Think about it, it even eats carrion, so why would it be afraid of sick cows?
Niu Er said with a bitter face: "Add some more, and I'll sell it if it's suitable."
The manager said, "Then name a price! If the price is right, I'll buy it. If not, I'll look elsewhere!"
Niu Er thought for a moment and said, "How about a hundred coins?"
"A good cow is only over 200 coins. You are dreaming, aren't you? If you don't want to sell it, then forget it. I can give you 30 coins at most." The man bargained.
"Sell it! The cow will be worthless after it dies soon." The dealer next to him also advised.
"Yes! At least these thirty coins can buy some black rice."
The dealer named Uncle San also nodded to Niu Er, meaning that the cow could be sold, otherwise no one would buy the sick cow.
"I'll offer thirty-five cents." Seeing that they were about to make a deal, Lin Feng hurried forward to make an offer.
Niu Er was stunned. Is there anyone else who wants to buy it?
The restaurant manager looked Lin Feng up and down, then threatened him, "Boy, you're a stranger, right? The rule here is first come, first served. Don't be ungrateful."
"It's true that it's first come, first served, but it doesn't say that you can't bid if the price is not right?" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Can you really pay thirty-five cents?" Niu Er didn't care about that. He just wanted to know who paid more. The cow was his, and he had the final say in everything.
Lin Feng nodded: "No problem."
The restaurant manager nearby saw that the owner wanted to change his mind, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay forty coins."
Niu Er was even happier when he heard this. This way he could earn a few more dollars. Even though it was just a few dollars, it could buy dozens of kilograms of black rice.
So he quickly looked at Lin Feng, hoping that Lin Feng would raise the price.
But Lin Feng said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I have no money. This is all I have."
