HCB Chapter 237: Yellow Ox for Dairy Cow
Chapter 237: Yellow Ox for Dairy Cow
She took out a large wooden barrel from the utility room, put the polished bamboo strips into the barrel, and soaked them in water.
After doing all this, the hanger only needs to go through the final three steps: baking, punching holes, and threading hooks.
These steps are not difficult, but you can't rush them. You have to wait until the bamboo is fully absorbed by water before you proceed.
It will probably be done soaking like this by the afternoon. During the waiting period, she can go to town. When she comes back, the bamboo will be almost done soaking, and it will be just right to start baking it then.
After Lin Chuyi had lunch at home, he said hello to Lin Jinxiu and went to town alone.
After arriving in the town, she went straight to the blacksmith shop, where she customized a batch of iron hooks. Then she took a tour of the town and found out what farm tools were commonly used. Then she had an idea in her mind.
She returned to the blacksmith shop and bought all the tools sold there, intending to take them home for reference.
Seeing that Lin Chuyi bought a lot and was alone, the blacksmith thought she couldn't carry so many things, so he considerately asked his son to help her send the things back.
Lin Chuyi did not reject the other party's kindness, but after leaving the town, Lin Chuyi asked the young man to stop.
The young man didn't understand why, but he still stopped, looked at Lin Chuyi and asked, "Why don't you keep going?"
After asking this question, the young man seemed to have thought of something and acted as if he had suddenly realized something. "Oh, I see. Am I walking too fast and you can't keep up? Then I'll walk slower next time."
Lin Chuyi shook his head at him. "No, I meant to say, just send it here. My cow is tied in the woods, and I can use the cow to carry it back later."
The young man looked at his sturdy body, then at Lin Chuyi's thin body, and after hesitating, he said, "We are still some distance away from the forest. Don't think I carry them easily. These things are actually quite heavy. I don't think you can handle them. We have already delivered them here, so a few more steps won't make a difference."
"You lead the way, I'll help you deliver the things. To be honest, you are really careless. That's a cow, and you just tie it up in the woods. What if someone sees it and has bad intentions and takes the cow away..."
Lin Chuyi felt helpless when she heard this. She said this just as an excuse. There were no cows in the forest. She didn't expect this young man to be so honest and talk so much to her.
However, the other person meant well after all, and if she didn't agree, it would seem like she was ungrateful.
So Lin Chuyi reluctantly agreed and walked in front to lead the way. When she was close to the woods, Lin Chuyi took advantage of the fact that the other party could not see her hand movements, raised her hand and tapped the operation panel a few times, and a sturdy yellow cattle was thrown from the game space into the woods.
After the yellow cattle landed on the ground, it immediately ran towards Lin Chuyi's direction. The young man saw a big yellow cattle rushing towards them like a madman. His hair stood on end and he was so scared that his body stiffened and he almost lost his grip on the equipment on his shoulders.
The big yellow cattle was moving very fast and it was too late for the young man to dodge. He closed his eyes in despair, but unexpectedly, the expected bloody scene did not appear and he did not even hear the sound of a collision.
The young man opened his eyes hesitantly, and after seeing the situation clearly, he opened his mouth in surprise.
The big yellow cow stopped obediently and let the little girl climb onto his back. Then he followed the girl's instructions and slowly walked to his front.
The young man swallowed his saliva, suppressed his shock, and stammered, "Girl, is this your cow?"
Lin Chuyi nodded decisively, "Yes, my little yellow cat doesn't like strangers, so I didn't let it into the town, and let it wait for me in the woods. Just now, it saw you following me and thought you were going to harm me, so it rushed over in a hurry. I'm really sorry to scare you."
As Lin Chuyi spoke, a hint of guilt appeared on his face.
The young man forced a smile and said, "I see. Since you have found your cow, I will send it here and help you put these tools on the cow's back."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, bro."
"You're welcome."
The young man worked very efficiently. He quickly placed all the tools he was carrying on the ox's back. He also thoughtfully tidied the ropes that tied the tools to make them more secure so that they would not fall apart midway.
After doing all this, the young man shook his numb arms and said to Lin Chuyi with a smile: "Everything has been put away, so I'll leave first."
After the young man finished speaking, he was about to turn around and go back to the town, but was stopped by Lin Chuyi again. The guy looked at Lin Chuyi puzzledly, and before he could say "Is there anything else?", Lin Chuyi threw a string of things at him.
The young man caught it in a hurry, and when he looked down, he found that what the little girl threw to him was actually a string of copper coins, which he estimated to be at least twenty copper coins.
"This……"
"Brother, you carried my things for me for such a long time in this hot weather, and you were even scared by my cow. I will give you this money as tea money. I hope you don't mind."
After Lin Chuyi finished speaking, he smiled at the waiter, squeezed the cow's belly with his legs, and the big yellow cow turned around and headed towards Qingshan Village.
The big yellow ox was getting faster and faster, and soon it was far away from the young man. The young man tried to chase it for a few steps, wanting to catch up and return the money to Lin Chuyi, but he couldn't, so he had to give up.
He scratched the back of his head and looked at the copper coin in his hand with a troubled look, feeling that the money was extremely hot.
Soon, he came up with an idea. Since the money had not been returned, he would take it back and give it to his father. He would let the old man deal with it and he wouldn't have to worry about it. He was really smart.
The confusion on the young man's face disappeared. He put the copper coin into his lapel and walked back, muttering to himself.
"By the way, after I get back, I have to tell Dad about what I saw and heard today. I was so scared just now. I thought I was going to die under the cow's hooves. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. However, I don't know what the girl usually feeds the cow. How can she raise the cow so strong? This cow must weigh at least 300 kilograms..."
The young man on this side returned to the town muttering to himself, and Lin Chuyi on the other side rode his cow to a deserted place, then clicked on the operation panel and replaced the ox he was riding with an adult dairy cow that could produce milk.
On the way back to the village, Lin Chuyi's big cow attracted a lot of people's attention. It's no wonder they felt so curious.
