Chapter 372: Chapter 84: The Best Cattle Raiser_2

Before Yan Fei could respond, the crowd had already started stirring. Heizi was alert in a flash. What does it mean to be wildly enthusiastic? This was it.

Heizi was energetically leading the cattle, while walking, he addressed the surrounding crowd in fists, "Please give way, give way. We from Sancha River raise cattle, our cattle are awesome, it’s not just talk. These days, what does being a ten-thousand yuan household mean? When our cattle come up, even the cows get scared! We all raise cattle, in future, it should be about our awesome cattle."

The crowd around him burst out laughing, making the scene even more lively. Someone teased, "Young man, you’re right. The youngsters these days are really impressive! Raise cattle, raise cattle, let’s go, let’s all go raise cattle, we’ll all be awesome in the future!"

What a lively scene!

After all, cattle traders were just a minority. Normally, those who don’t raise cattle would not come to the Cattle Market. Everyone found this very motivating!

Someone else shouted a question: "Brothers who raise cattle at Sancha River, do you have any special tips for raising cattle? Could you share it with us?"

Many people were truly concerned about this. Everyone here raises cattle, so why do others spend so much, daring to buy ten cattle at once? We have been raising cattle for many years, but still only have one or two.

They might scoff at the young age of the three cattle buyers, but with such big spending, everyone had to be impressed. So, when someone asked about this topic, everyone quieted down. Who wouldn’t want to hear about their secret to raising cattle?

Heizi, who was quite excited just now, wasn’t awesome anymore, but became a fool!

Every day he feeds the cattle according to commands, learning to prepare the feed from Ma Chao and Lin Yumei, who themselves learned from Yan Fei. Asking him to reveal a secret tip was something he really couldn’t do.

At this moment, he could only seek help from Yan Fei. With a foolish expression and bewildered eyes, he looked at Yan Fei with a plea for help, whispering, "Brother Fei, say something! I’ll handle the cow dung for three days when we get back, okay?"

Yan Fei was originally reminiscing about how he had unintentionally caused such a high-profile event. But seeing Heizi like this, he knew he’d have to cover for him again.

The normally bustling Cattle Market suddenly fell silent, which was quite unsettling. It was estimated that even when the village head gave a speech, it had never been so quiet. Everyone was really concerned about this issue.

Yan Fei didn’t have a choice and bravely began, "We are all young people, our experience in raising cattle certainly can’t compare to everyone here. I’ll just mention a few points off the top of my head and if I get it wrong, please don’t hold it against me; if what I say is something everyone already knows, don’t laugh at me for teaching fish how to swim."

To make sure he was heard over the cattle noise, he raised his voice, and everyone laughed and chimed in saying, "Young man you are too modest, go ahead, we are all ears!"

This wasn’t something he was used to. Only Yan could handle this. Heizi had already hid behind him.

When everyone got quiet again, Yan Fei resumed, "Since winter is coming soon, I’ll talk about raising cattle in winter. But don’t laugh, whatever I know, I have learnt from books. Someone has summarized a few experiences about wintering cattle, and I’d like to share them!"

"You all must know, how the spring cattle turn out depends all on the winter. We cannot think that just because the cattle don’t work in winter, as long as they are not hungry, it’s fine. Making sure the cattle don’t lose weight in winter is a big deal. Not only can we not just let them starve, we have to feed them well."

"Here are a few rhymes, let me share. One is ’to winter a family cow, fodder is the primary concern’, so everyone should prepare enough feed for the winter, well in advance. And two other lines are ’good body mass in winter, water should not be lacking’ and ’to plough the fields the next year, feed the winter cattle salt’. Everyone will understand this, water and salt cannot be lacking."

"Also, we should pay attention to keeping warm in winter. A cowshed should be warm in winter and cool in summer. During the harsh winters, we all huddle in our houses near warm stoves. If the cows are in a damp and cold shed, how can they be comfortable? In winter, when everyone has some free time, don’t forget to keep it warm."

"That’s all really. ’Three Knowledges, Six Cleanliness’ was summarized in the books. The three knowledges are to know about the hot and cold, hunger and satiation, strength and sickness; the six cleanliness are clean grass, clean fodder, clean water, clean trough, clean pen, clean cow. That’s all I got, I don’t have as much experience as you all, these are all copied from books, it’s just teaching fish how to swim."

Then, turning to Heizi, who looked confused, Yan Fei urged him, "Let’s go! What are you just standing there for?"

Could they really go? As soon as he finished his sentence, everyone quieted down for a moment, then began chatting all at once, "Young man, don’t rush! Can you explain that ’Three Knowledges, Six Cleanliness’ in detail?"

"Yes, yes! Young man, we will take care of lunch today, please share more! We are all roughnecks, we are begging you..."

There were all sorts of shouts. Actually, everyone here was a cattle breeder, each with their own ideas. But why hadn’t anyone summarized this before? Suddenly, they heard someone summarizing it so clearly and succinctly, some genuinely wanted to understand it, while others were just curious.

Heizi was alert now; he looked at Yan Fei as if he were looking at a god. Listening to the surrounding people urging Yan Fei to continue and looking at the old wrinkled or kind faces around him, all with eager eyes.
