After returning Master Ma's ox cart, I returned home. As soon as I entered the house, I heard Duan Yidao boasting to everyone in the room, "This ox, the key is to look at it and touch it three times."
Lan Yu asked, "Master, how do you want to see and touch it?"
"First see if you like it..." Duan Yidao said.
Song Yuehua: “…” I was cheated!
A group of people gathered around Duan Yidao to listen to him bragging. Song Yuehua called Liu Xue and said, "Go and call Zong Yi over."
After Liu Xue left, Song Yuehua closed the door of the kang room, took out the remaining silver and counted it, and there were still 382 taels of silver left.
After sighing, he locked the silver away.
After school was over, Xiaoyu ran in excitedly and said, "Sister, is this our cow? Master Duan said it's ours."
Song Yuehua smiled and nodded, "Yes, they are all our cows."
"Really?"
Xiaoyu ran out with a smile, and came back a moment later and asked, "Sister, have you named the cow yet?"
"No." Song Yuehua said.
Xiaoyu said excitedly, "Then I will give them names. The male will be called Dahei and the female will be called Dahuang. From now on, they will be one family with us."
Song Yuehua, "..."
No matter how she said it, these two family members were about to be taken away.
When Zong Yi came over, Song Yuehua asked him to take the cow to the East Mountain. Zong Yi said, "We don't have a cowshed there, why don't we keep it here first."
Song Yuehua shook her head and said, "It's troublesome to run around. Let's install the plow and give it a try tomorrow. I'll leave these two cows to you to take care of."
"If you don't understand anything, go ask Master Ma. As for the cowshed, I'll have someone come over to build it tomorrow. It will be ready in one day, or two days at most."
It was the first time that Zong Yi drove a ox cart, carrying corn seeds and an iron plow. It took Duan Yidao two trips for him to gradually become proficient.
After settling the two cows, Song Yuehua went to Zhou's house again and said to Zhou Dafu, "Uncle Dafu, I want to grow cotton."
Zhou Dafu, "..."
"Not growing corn anymore?" Zhou Dafu didn't react for a moment.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "I originally planned to plant 10 acres of cotton to gain experience first, but later I thought that a few acres wouldn't be a big deal, so I simply bought 30 acres of land and used it all to plant cotton."
Zhou Dafu didn't have time to talk about Song Yuehua's impulsive behavior. He just thought, "Buying the land is not a big problem, but we still have to reclaim the land, till the land, and apply base fertilizer. Time is a bit tight, and we also need manpower to take care of it in the later stage. It's hard enough for the Zong family to take care of the corn field, let alone the cotton field..."
Zhou Dafu quickly summarized all the problems.
This job is indeed a bit rushed. Song Yuehua said, "If the working hours at the school are used up, we can hire temporary workers from the village to open up the land first. There are still a few months left. The temporary workers will be paid 400 coins a month. They will work for one month first. I'll have to trouble you to find manpower."
The two of them calculated that the total cost of finding a temporary worker and buying land was 26 taels of silver, and Song Yuehua gave 28 taels of silver.
Just as Zhou Dafu was about to say something, Song Yuehua said, "Uncle Dafu, tomorrow you have to ask the craftsmen to build a cowshed between the two rooms, and then build two kangs for the two rooms."
Zhou Dafu was shocked and asked, "You bought a cow?"
"Both ends." Song Yuehua chuckled.
Zhou Dafu took a deep breath and finally said, "You are awesome!"
