Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 6449 The Last Hope
The cattle dealer froze in place, staring at the packet of powder in his hand and wanted to cry.

Several other calves were also running noses, and the cattle dealer didn't know whether it was necessary to ask Dr. Zhou to look at them.

And Xiang Shengnan and Xiaoduo also looked at each other in blank dismay, this young couple who wanted to do something practical with their own hands while they were young was also about to cry without tears.

In the end, the cattle dealer is still older and has experienced many things.

He took a deep breath and said to Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan: "Doctor Zhou is also tired, so let's prepare dinner first."

Xiang Shengnan frowned and stood there without moving.

Waiting for such a result from the early days of anticipation until it was dark, didn't they all brag about how great Dr. Zhou was before?Why is it like this?

Xiaoduo was also full of unwillingness, "Doctor Zhou, this calf is terminally ill and you can't cure it, so forget it, there are several more next door, go and have a look, maybe it can be cured if the condition is milder?"

Dr. Zhou was a little embarrassed.

Xiang Shengnan also said: "Yeah, you've come here all the time, it can't be that this can't be cured, and you don't want to look at the rest? It doesn't make sense."

Doctor Zhou was full of confusion, should he tell everyone the truth?
His grandfather used to castrate pigs, and most of the half-baked things he learned from his grandfather were also used on pigs. He is really serious about cattle...

Besides, there are very few farm households with cattle, and cattle, especially adult cattle, are strong and strong, and basically do not get sick.

When the time came when the plowshare could no longer be pulled, it was old. Even if the old cow had a slight illness, the owner would not make a fuss about it. He took advantage of this opportunity to sell it and slaughter it. Therefore, Dr. Zhou rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with this cow. Such a situation, no experience at all.

"Then let's have a look!"

Doctor Zhou gritted his teeth and followed Xiang Shengnan and the others to the next bullpen.

After looking around, he took out several generations of medicinal powders that were exactly the same as before from the medicine box and said, "It's still these medicinal powders, sprinkle them on the grass for them to eat."

These medicinal powders are all for pigs, and they work well on pigs, but Dr. Zhou dare not promise to use them on cattle.

Looking at the pile of powder packets in their hands, the Xiang family felt powerless.

But what can we do?A dead horse can only be treated as a living horse doctor.

Xiaoduo went to the kitchen to prepare meals, Xiang Shengnan prepared fodder and medicinal powder, and the cattle dealer and Yang Huazhong accompanied Dr. Zhou to dinner.

After dinner, Yang Huazhong's family of three returned to the village.

On the way back, Yang Ruoqing listened to Yang Huazhong and Sun's conversation about Niu Duzi, but didn't answer a word.

Yang Huazhong didn't ask her either, because these things were different from those of the old Yang's family. It was a matter of raising cattle, and no matter how smart my daughter was, it was impossible for her to know everything.

After returning home, Yang Ruoqing took a shower and changed into dry clothes, and even washed the previous set of clothes that smelled like the cowshed.

After she finished, she didn't go to bed or sit down to read a book, but took a lantern and went to the warehouse in the backyard.

Move out a dusty box in the most inconspicuous corner...

She woke up early the next morning.

When I came back last night, I made an appointment with Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun to go to the pasture today.

When we arrived at the pasture, we saw the cattle dealer standing lonely at the door, looking at the direction of the foot of the mountain with a sad face.

After Yang Huazhong greeted him after a while, he raised his hand with a wry smile and walked towards them.

"Why are you standing here?" Yang Huazhong asked.

The cattle dealer pointed to the foot of the mountain: "I just sent Doctor Zhou away."

"Ah? Are you leaving now? What's wrong with the calf?" Yang Huazhong asked in surprise.

The cattle dealer shrugged, then shook his head, "Let's resign ourselves to fate!"

Mrs. Sun rushed to ask: "Is the medicinal powder from last night effective?"

The cattle dealer shook his head, "It's useless, the nose that should be running is still running, and another calf can't get up."

"What?" Sun's heart sank to the bottom, and the last trace of luck was shattered.

Yang Huazhong looked at the figure at the foot of the mountain that gradually condensed into a black spot, and spat: "Fame is all about howling, and this is half a bucket of water coming out to bluff!"

The cattle dealer also let out a heavy sigh, "Before, it was all about talking, but I didn't see the real skills in my hands. Now that something happened, I really learned what it means to talk, and it's my own fault!"

Speaking of self-blame, the cattle dealer raised his hand and slapped himself.

Crisp and loud, without ambiguity.

Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi were stunned. Seeing the bull dealer raised his hand and wanted to hit him again, Yang Huazhong quickly grabbed his arm: "Brother Xiang, what are you doing, stop doing this!"

Mrs. Sun also persuaded, "...it's bad luck, how can you blame yourself for such a thing?"

The cattle dealer was still annoyed.

60 taels of silver, the daughter-in-law's dowry money has been put in, if this trip loses everything, how can I show face to others?

"Third brother, Duo'er Niang, Qing'er, come in!"

The cattle dealer held back his grief and called Yang Huazhong and the others into the yard.

Xiaoduo stood at the gate of the bullpen with Jiaojiao in her arms, her eyes were red, apparently she hadn't closed her eyes all night.

There were rustling noises in the cowshed.

"What is Shengnan doing?" Yang Huazhong asked.

Xiaoduo didn't say anything.

The cattle dealer said: "I'm afraid that calf yesterday will die. I asked Sheng Nan to get it out, and then I went back to find a place at the foot of the mountain to bury it."

If the cow dies from illness and is not buried, the poisonous gas will disperse and other cows will suffer.

"Brother, it's a pity to bury it, it's better to eat it..." Father Xiang appeared from nowhere, struggling to suggest.

The cattle dealer gouged him fiercely: "I have said a hundred times that it is a sick cow, and you will die if you eat it!"

Father Xiang didn't take it seriously, "When there was chicken plague in the past, Mrs. Sheng and I went out to pick up dead chickens that were thrown away by the river and brought them back to eat. We only need to peel the skin, wash it several times, and cook it together with big ingredients such as chili, ginger, and garlic. It'll be fine once you get used to it."

"You can eat sick chickens, but why can't you eat sick cows? It's a pity to bury them!"

When Father Xiang said these words, one hundred and eight ways to cook tender beef flashed through his mind.

No matter what kind of cooking method, if you don't deserve half a catty of soju, then the meal is soulless.

To Father Xiang, the cattle dealer was completely speechless.

He bent down and strode into the cowshed, intending to give Xiang Shengnan a helping hand to carry out the calf that was still dying.

Don't underestimate this calf. Although it is far smaller than an adult cow, it still weighs [-] to [-] catties. It's not easy to lift it there without two or three strong laborers.

The cattle dealer was about to call Yang Huazhong to help him, when a figure squeezed in.

"Uncle Xiang, Shengnan, don't rush to carry it to bury it, and then let me take a look."

The person who spoke was Yang Ruoqing.

The two of the Xiang family stopped their work and looked up at her together, not understanding what she wanted to see.

She took out a wooden box from behind her, and said to everyone: "This is the medicine I found in the warehouse after I got home last night. Back then, there were many mules and horses in the transportation team. It was inevitable that the mules and horses would travel long distances to deliver the goods because of the unacceptable water and soil. Ah, or if you get sick from being tired and raining, this medicine is useful for mules and horses, so I wonder how we can use it on cattle to try our luck?"
