64 A Feast for the Cattle

Jian Qingqing led the cattle home and caused a commotion among the villagers. Cattle held a very high and sacred status in the hearts of the farmers. No one in Jian village had ever raised cattle before. Not only did Jian Qingqing’s family build a large brick house, but they also bought cattle, it seemed that they had really made a fortune.

However, this time, no one was envious. They were all happy for them because Jian Qingqing had taught them about the Dendrobium. That thing had made them a huge profit.

Jian Qingqing’s cow had just arrived home when wave after wave of villagers came. Everyone wanted to take a look and touch it. There was even someone who proposed to hold a banquet for the cow, winning the approval of the villagers.

Jian Qingqing was speechless. “This… There’s no need for that.”

The person who suggested pushed her away. “What do you know? I shouldn’t be discussing this with you anyway.”

Then, he said to Old Man Jian, “Uncle Zong Quan, what do you think? If we hold a banquet for the cow, it will be happy. If it is happy, it will work even harder.”

Old Man Jian was currently caressing the cow’s body. When he heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, “Alright. Big Sister, go and prepare. We will treat the villagers to a meal tomorrow. Be happy!”

Jian Qingqing sighed. “Alright.”

It was her first time seeing a banquet for the cow. However, when she thought about how there were people in modern times who invited relatives and friends for a meal after having a new car, the cow’s status in the hearts of these people was even higher than the car’s status among the modern people. With this in mind, she did not find it strange.

Jian Qingqing gloated at the main character of tomorrow’s banquet. This cow’s temper was really good. It did not lose its temper even after being touched by others. It stood there meekly and let others touch it.

Before the sky turned dark, Jian Qingqing put the cow on the cart and rushed to the county town to buy the dishes for tomorrow’s banquet.

The next day, Jian Qingqing woke up early to cook. She saw that the cow was being wrapped in red silk by Mother Jian. One of the silk was tied to the cow’s body and the other was tied to the cow’s head.

The cow stood there obediently as Mother Jian tied the silk on it. Jian Qingqing looked at it and found that it was quite humorous.

She shook her head and went into the kitchen to cook. Forget it, let them have their fun. The cow was bought for fun anyway.

Today’s banquet was much simpler than the previous one in the new house. However, everyone was still very happy. Everyone who came brought a basket of fodder. The main character of the banquet was wearing red silk and eating very happily. There was a circle of people watching it eat. If there were cameras in this era, she believed that everyone would take a photo with it and post it on social media.

After the banquet, she had to continue working hard. After all, one ox cost her nine taels of silver and another three taels of silver for the banquet.

Now that she had a pot and a mode of transport, Jian Qingqing decided to do a big job. She directly stewed 200 catties of stewed meat and sold it.

When she entered the county, she heard that the Huang family had been exiled.

Jian Qingqing listened carefully. It turned out that the matter of trafficking in human beings in Huang’s family had been exposed.

That person was the lady from Hong Yuan whom Master Huang had spent a lot of money on. She heard that just as this lady entered the door, she was beaten into the woodshed by Madam Huang.

That lady overheard the matter and felt resentful, so she reported it to the County Magistrate. The County Magistrate acted quickly, and all the men involved were locked up in prison, waiting to be executed. The elderly, the young, women, and children were exiled.

Jian Qingqing knew that this kind of family dirty business would not be rare, but she did not expect it to be such a disgusting thing. How many families would be destroyed by this? Even though Ming Zhiyan was fast, she did not know whether it was because she had found out about her trap early in the morning or because it had really been exposed at the last minute.

However, Jian Qingqing was very happy that the hidden danger had been eliminated.
