During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

"Pfft!"

With one slash, the ox let out a painful "moo" and convulsed violently as if electrocuted, blood gushing out like a fountain, splashing a crimson red in the wooden barrel.

Unfortunately, its hooves were already bound, and its head was held down. No matter how much it struggled, it was all in vain. It could only stretch its neck and make a desperate "moo" sound.

A pair of bull eyes were filled with terror and despair, and large tears rolled down. As the blood dried, the eyes gradually lost their light.

"Hiss..."

Slaughtering pigs and cows has always been a popular spot for onlookers, who find it both unbearable and exciting. One curious onlooker couldn't help but ask a question.

"Young lady, didn't you buy it out of pity for the cow being beaten and suffered, and that's why you bought it out of kindness?"

"What, you killed someone to eat again?"

Ye Qingqing turned her head slightly.

"I bought it to give it a good end. It's an ox that can't plow the fields, so I have to make the best use of it."

The busybody grinned as he listened.

"My goodness! That's chilling! They really think she's some kind of living saint!"

Ye Qingqing gave a cold laugh, pretending not to hear.

"Young lady, since the cow has been slaughtered, why don't you sell it to me with the skin and meat on?"

Before gutting the cow, the butcher tried one last time to persuade her, saying enticingly, "This beef looks pretty good, I'll give it to you for fifty taels, I'll keep the meat for myself!"

Ye Qingqing casually crossed her arms. "No need, I'll keep it for my own family to eat."

Do you really think everyone else is a fool?

"Second Girl, don't waste your breath on him!"

Whether there's treasure or not depends on this trembling. Li Chunyan was so anxious that she was tearing her hair out and yelling at the top of her lungs, "Hey, you slaughtering cow, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

"Hurry up and butcher the cow, we're waiting to get back to the village!"

"What's the rush? Are you in such a hurry to go back and be reincarnated?"

Seeing that they wouldn't take the bait, the butcher glared angrily at Li Chunyan, brandishing his blood-stained knife at her. "If you think I'm too slow, then hurry up and do it!"

Li Chunyan immediately became furious, "You..."

"With such a foul mouth, even being reincarnated wouldn't dare compete with you!"

Ye Qingqing snorted coldly, "Enough nonsense, hurry up and slaughter the cow!"

The butcher, having been thwarted, angrily ordered his two assistants to hold down the cow's hooves, then switched to a sharp knife and viciously stabbed it into the cow's neck, the tip of the knife cutting a large gash from the neck down to the belly.

The colorful entrails tumbled out with a gurgling sound, and the butcher's eyes immediately fell on the dark green gall bladder, his gaze widening in surprise.

This cow definitely contains treasure!

He immediately turned around to block Shi Cheng, and with lightning speed, used the tip of his knife to cut out the gall bladder, then secretly slipped it into his leather apron.

Anyway, they don't know what's inside a cow's stomach, and they wouldn't even notice if a small gall bladder the size of a palm was missing.

"stop……"

Ye Qingqing called out softly, "Boss, isn't it going too far to steal in front of the owner?"

"What...what did I steal?"

The butcher, his neck stiff, shouted, "Young lady, what do you mean? Don't you dare frame me..."

The onlookers were completely bewildered, and they all chimed in with their opinions.

"What are you hiding?"

"No, I didn't see anything..."

"What's the point of hiding a bunch of intestines and stomach?"

"Yeah, what did that girl see?"

……

Ye Qingqing, too lazy to waste words, raised her chin and said, "Big brother, second brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Dali and Ye Dazhuang stood in front of the butcher.

Ye Dali twisted the butcher's wrist and squeezed his fingers hard, causing the dagger to fall to the ground with a clatter.

Ye Dazhuang then grabbed the butcher by the neck, his five fingers tightening, causing the butcher's neck to crack and his face to turn red and swollen. "W-what are you going to do...?"

Ye Dazhuang glanced at him coldly, raised his hand and lifted his leather apron. With a thud, a bulging gall bladder covered in blood fell from the butcher's arms.

We're doomed!

The butcher's face turned ashen.

Ye Dazhuang kicked the butcher away, picked up the gall bladder, and handed it to Ye Qingqing. "Is this it?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the blood-stained gall bladder, still looking completely bewildered.

Many people have never even heard of bezoar, let alone know that it is a gallstone that grows in the gallbladder.

What's the point of arguing over a gall bladder?

If this thing is broken, even the beef will be stained and taste terrible; no one would eat it even if it were given to them for free.

"Um."

Ye Qingqing nodded, took the heavy bezoar, and casually picked up a sharp knife and made a cut on it.

In an instant, a "pebble" was revealed from within.

The "pebbles" are a bright yellow color all over, about the size of an egg, and have a natural luster in the sunlight.

The air suddenly became still.

"My goodness!"

The butcher grimaced as he got up from the ground, and when he saw the bezoar the size of an egg, he was instantly paralyzed with fear.

Generally speaking, the largest bezoars that are collected are about the size of a soybean. If they are the size of a pigeon egg or a jujube, they are already considered treasures!

A bezoar the size of an egg is something many butchers might never encounter in their entire lives, let alone its value!

I missed out on a fortune!

The onlookers instantly erupted in uproar.

"My God, this is bezoar!"

"Bezoar? Isn't that as rare as gold?"

"I heard that a piece of bezoar the size of a fingernail is worth an ounce of gold. This huge piece of bezoar must be worth a fortune!"

"This family is so lucky, where did they get such good fortune..."

……

"Bezoar! It really is bezoar!"

Li Chunyan excitedly let out a loud shout, grabbing Ye Qingqing's arm and jumping around, "Second girl! You were right, there really is treasure hidden inside this cow's belly!"

"My God, what incredible luck! Our family is going to strike it rich!"

"Second sister, how did you know there was treasure inside the cow's belly?"

Ye Cuicui's chin nearly hit the ground, her pupils dilated in shock, she simply couldn't believe her eyes.

My second sister just said there was a treasure inside the cow's belly, and she was a little skeptical, but it turns out she was right!

The cow is perfectly fine. How can anyone see what's inside its belly through the hide and meat?

My second sister's eyes can see right into a cow's belly?

The crowd erupted into a frenzy, bombarding them with questions.

"Young lady, you were buying cattle from that man just now, so you knew there was treasure involved, right?"

"No wonder you wouldn't sell it even for fifty taels of silver!"

"Thank goodness we didn't sell it! Otherwise, this incredible stroke of luck would have fallen right into the butcher's lap!"

"I knew it! That butcher kept trying to buy your cow..."

"Young lady, how did you know there was treasure hidden inside this cow's belly?"

……

Ye Qingqing glanced at everyone and said casually,

"I don't know how to tell. I had no idea there were treasures inside a cow. I just wanted to eat beef, so I bought a cow to butcher. Who knew I'd find treasure inside?"

Nobody would believe that.
