This should be the second time my family mentioned that he was rejected when buying a donkey?

In fact, she can understand everyone's original intention of buying donkeys to reduce the amount of labor, but what Tao Yi said is also the current reality, and it is not enough if you don't value it.

The ox cart walked for more than two hours before reaching the nearest Shouyang Mountain. The so-called mountain is much shorter than the mountain city, and it looks only three or four hundred meters high. At the foot of the mountain are bamboo forests, and there are many trees growing on the mountain.

The late October to early February of the lunar calendar is the best time to collect winter bamboo shoots, and the best time to collect spring bamboo shoots from mid to late March to around Qingming Festival is the best time to dig in spring, so in principle, they can dig until around Qingming Festival.

Many people actually don’t know the difference between spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots. Sometimes Zhuo Lin can’t tell the difference clearly. So when she asked, Tao Yi, who was closer to her, replied.

"If you want to talk about the differences between them, it is mainly divided into several aspects. First, they are different harvesting seasons. This uncle just told you just now, and secondly, the growth areas are different. Winter bamboo shoots refer to unearthed bamboo shoots, which are tender stems of bamboo growing under the soil in winter, and spring bamboo shoots are bamboo shoots that break through the soil and belong to the young buds of bamboo shoots."

"In addition, their appearance is different. The spring bamboo shoots are slender and slender, with green and purple skins. The winter bamboo shoots are short, thick and chunky, and the skin is dark brown. Well, that's it."

"Of course, the picking seasons are different and the nutritional value is also different. Compared with winter bamboo shoots, the nutritional value of spring bamboo shoots is obviously higher. After all, spring bamboo shoots grow into tender buds and are known as the "Green King". Because of their tender meat, they are also called "Shan Bazhen". The history of our country is quite long. The meat of winter bamboo shoots is slightly hard and is still a cold food. Children and weak people should eat less."

The eldest uncle happened to chop a few thicker winter bamboo shoots over. When she heard Tao Yi’s reasonable and well-founded statements, she admired him very much.

"You kid, if you don't study in the future, you will lose the materials. Look at what you said, you know more than the old men in the village. I have to tell your aunt when I go back, and I will definitely provide you with good study."

"My aunt is joking again. It's nothing. Just remember it after hearing it too much. But is it really okay for our cow to be placed at the foot of the mountain? Will it be stolen? If this cow is lost, our family will not be able to afford it."

Not to mention Tao Yi was worried, Zhuo Lin also looked down the mountain from time to time. Seeing that he was so worried, the aunt said.

"Now, there is one cow in every village. It belongs to the collective property in the village. Who dares to steal it? He doesn't dare to pull it out and use it if he steals it back? If he kills it, he will have to squat in a cell, so don't worry, no one steals this. Besides, we are deliberately on the mountain, so why don't we look down at the foot of the mountain from time to time?"

"We are far away, and we have to leave if we can't dig much. We can't compare to those who are at the foot of the mountain. Take the time, dig more, and add a few fresh dishes when we get home."

No matter which season, bamboo shoots can be sold in the city for a good price, so the people who come here to dig bamboo shoots are basically people nearby. For example, they are far away and they are rushing over by renting ox carts to go back the same day, but few people can do it.

The rate of bamboo shoots produced in winter is quite high in this era, but they can't stand the working people who are idle at home in winter, so they searched for more than half a day but couldn't find three or five, and even three of them were raised by Zhuo Lin.

However, there are quite a lot of shepherd's purse in the mountains, the slightly purple-brown type, not the serious grass-green one, and it doesn't look very good and delicious.

But the eldest aunt said that this kind of shepherd's purse is more nutritious, but unfortunately it is a little small and not very convenient to choose.

But there are so many things like this, one large piece after another, which makes it easier for her to squat there and make them grow.

There are not many in Baiyao Mountain, and the size of the ones found is not big. However, Baiyao Mountain is the most medicinal value in the first lunar month. The three of them kept wandering around the mountain until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. The three bamboo baskets were filled and they started to go down the mountain.

However, when he saw the cow at the foot of the mountain, Zhuo Lin felt something was wrong.

"Um, this cow is not ours. Look at it, it doesn't look very healthy, and our cow looks a little stronger than it!"

Chen Qiuxia was loading things on the ox cart. When she heard this, she was panicked and quickly turned over to observe. She didn't know if she didn't observe it. When she saw it, she was so scared that she slapped her hard.

"I'm so disgraced. Who is the unethical person who exchanged a sick cow for us?"

Zhuo Lin used his vines to check the cow's body and found that it was not a big problem, it was just a little diarrhea, and the cow was two or three years younger than their previous ones.

There were many resting people sitting at the foot of the mountain. They were choosing vegetables while observing the situation here. Zhuo Lin soon saw a middle-aged man in the crowd with his eyes dodging. And looking at the people around him, they were obviously insiders. If they were not good, they were from the same village. It costs money to treat sick cows. The money saved in the village can be distributed to them by the end of the year, so it is normal for a group to be brought together.

When the eldest uncle asked around, no one responded to her. Zhuo Lin approached the middle-aged man and stared in his eyes seriously.

"You exchanged the cow, right?"

The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned red and was exposed by a child on the spot. He was a little angry and shouted loudly.

"Whose child are you? What are you talking nonsense? You are the same, why are you not your cow? This is clearly your cow. Everyone is resting here. No one sees it, right?"

When Chen Qiuxia asked just now, no one took care of her. Now, everyone has come forward to respond. Haha, the purpose is too strong.

Zhuo Lin looked at the people around him coldly, thinking to himself: "Since you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude."

She then transferred the sickness from the sick cow to the middle-aged man and said harshly: "You will be retribution."

Then he pulled the uncle's sleeve: "Let's go!"

The eldest uncle looked unwilling, but Zhuo Lin and Tao Yi were both talking to her, so there was no choice but to leave.

On the way, before Zhuo Lin could find a way to tell the reason, Tao Yi looked at the eldest uncle tentatively.

"This cow just looks depressed and may not be really sick. We will observe it for a night. If there is no problem, we will make a profit!"

Chen Qiuxia was stunned and couldn't help but sit up: "Is it profitable? A sick cow was taken back. I don't know how to explain to the village. Why did you say you made a profit?"
