Chapter 143 If the cow is unwell, you need to see a veterinarian.
However, Lin Chang'er and Bai Shao'an left in a hurry, and by the time he arrived, the donkey cart had already disappeared.
Old Zhu was puzzled and asked him, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the procurement?"
Old Zhu's nephew's surname is Wu, and his given name is Chong.
Wu Zhong quickly told them about the brown sugar. Old Zhu, Old Liang, and Old Chen had always been impressed by Lin Chang'er's skills.
But it wasn't appropriate to open and check it in front of others. After hearing what Wu Zhong said, Lao Zhu opened his own package and took out a small piece to taste.
Old Liang and Old Chen casually took a piece, nodding to each other. When they reached out again, Old Zhu realized what was happening and immediately hid the brown sugar in his pocket, saying, "What are you doing? Have some of your own."
Old Liang sheepishly withdrew his hand, muttering, "Stingy!"
Old Chen licked his fingers and chimed in, "Exactly, exactly."
"You're so stingy, why don't you share some of yours with me!" Old Zhu reached out his hand without ceremony, but Old Liang and Old Chen immediately protected their things tightly.
At this moment, Wu Chong spoke up: "Uncle, just now, Boss Lin said that she made this candy herself. I wonder if she made it for herself or to make a living?"
If you're making this for yourself, wouldn't it be a waste to have such good cooking skills?
If they are making a living, shouldn't they get up early?
Old Zhu was taken aback; he really hadn't thought of that.
Now, after hearing Wu Zhong's reminder, he was immediately invigorated, but when he thought of Lin Chang'er being the second owner of Sihai Restaurant, he immediately gave up the idea.
"You should just focus on your restaurant business. As for the candy business, I reckon Chang'er already has her own connections."
After saying that, he left with his two old friends, Lao Liang and Lao Chen, bickering and joking around.
Wu Zhong thought differently. If there were connections, wouldn't it make a difference if he was one more?
He immediately made up his mind to go home, prepare gifts, and plan to visit the family with his wife.
Lin Chang'er and Bai Shao'an went back to Sihai Restaurant first and told Pei Sihai about the concept of franchising. Pei Sihai agreed to consider it.
Because Lin Chang'er had something to do today, the sashimi banquet was postponed to tomorrow.
Lin Chang'er stayed at the Sihai Restaurant for a while longer before hurriedly driving her donkey cart toward Linshui Village.
When she got home, Gu Xiaoman, Zhou Yi, and Gu Xiaolu were feeding the cows grass.
The coastal defense team has already started training today. Zhou Hai and Zhou Mu did not go to sell clams. Several older children also went to train and learn kung fu. It is still lunchtime, so they are not at home.
The seafood stall in town was frequented by Aunt Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou, while the pancake stall was frequented by Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Xiaohua.
The remaining women followed Lin Chang'er's instructions, helping to cut sugarcane on the mountain in the morning, and were now cutting the sugarcane in the backyard and pounding it with a stone mortar to extract the juice.
After Aunt Gu drove the cow back with Uncle Zhou's help, she tied it up in the yard, leaving a few of the smaller cows in the front yard.
It was the first time the Gu family had raised cattle, and Gu Xiaoman and Gu Xiaolu were very excited about it. Zhou Yi also found it very novel, so he followed his older brother and sister to watch the cattle.
Lin Chang'er tied up the donkey cart, and the ox let out a "mooth cry".
Lin Chang'er walked over and patted his back. "I know you're feeling unwell, but I can't say for sure. Just bear with it for now, eat something to nourish yourself, and I'll do my best."
Gu Xiaoman was stunned. "Auntie, are you talking to Niu Niu?"
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Yes!"
Gu Xiaolu asked again, "Mom, is Niu Niu sick?"
Lin Chang'er said, "Yes."
"Can it be cured? Niu Niu's belly is so big, it must be very uncomfortable."
Zhou Yi nodded in agreement, "It's uncomfortable!"
Lin Chang'er paused for a moment and said, "Even I can't guarantee it, I can only do my best."
If things go as she expects, that would be a good thing. But I'm afraid she's wrong and might lose Old Niu's life.
Therefore, regardless of whether it is true or not, we still need to register with the government first and be prepared for both possibilities.
As for the old ox, it needs to be cared for for a while first.
In addition, we also need to ask the old lady next door for a hand.
After all, there were no operating rooms in this era. She had no assistants to perform surgery on the old cow, and she even had to borrow tools from the old lady next door.
However, the little guys had no idea what she was thinking. They just felt sorry for Niu Niu, so they wanted to feed him the freshest grass.
Lin Chang'er played with them and went to the backyard. The training team gradually returned.
Wu Qingfeng and the others were soaking wet, and the little goldfish looked like a mud monkey.
Lin Chang'er: "Did it go into the water, or did it roll in a mud pit?"
Wu Qingfeng explained with a smile, "Old Wu said that since it is coastal defense, we can't just train on land, we also have to train in the water. So, the afternoon classes are all in the water."
Knowing that getting into the water was inevitable, Lin Chang'er hurriedly went to boil water to wash them. She also asked Gu Xiaolu to go to the backyard to call the mothers of Xiaoshan, Xiaoshu, and Datou to come home and check on the children first.
Gu Silang, Xu Gun'er, and Zhou Li are all grown up now. They play and fight, but they can wash themselves.
Although the little goldfish was precocious, she was only five years old, so Lin Chang'er led a group of people to help her personally.
Wu Qingfeng came over and said, "Let him come with me."
Lin Chang'er was somewhat surprised, "You, are you capable?" Aren't the young masters of those aristocratic families usually surrounded by servants and beautiful maids, with everything done for them? Can you really let him take care of a child?
"Fine!" For some reason, there was a hint of gritted teeth in his voice when he said this.
Lin Chang'er didn't think much of it. Since she had agreed, she handed the little goldfish to him, saying, "Call me if you need anything."
Wu Qingfeng hummed in agreement and said, "I'll teach them to read today. You go about your business and play for a while. I'll go up the mountain with Old Huo, Uncle Hai, and my two older brothers to collect firewood."
Lin Chang'er said "Oh," but something felt off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Without thinking much about it, I went to help in the backyard.
Half an hour later, Xiaoshan, Xiaoshu, and Datou's mothers returned, and the sound of reading aloud could be heard from the front yard.
Lin Chang'er looked at the women helping with the work and wondered how she could find some free time. She had promised to teach them self-defense techniques, but right now, she really didn't have a moment to spare.
After all, making money is also important, and strong financial resources are the guarantee for the coastal defense force.
As the evening glow painted the sky, wisps of smoke gradually rose from the chimneys. The women put down their work and went home to cook.
Lin Chang'er was finally able to rest. She originally wanted to talk to Wu Qingfeng about the sick cow and ask him about registering it with the government.
But as soon as school was over, he went up the mountain with Old Huo and the others to collect firewood, and he hasn't returned yet.
Lin Chang'er then weighed out a pound of brown sugar and went next door to find the old woman doctor.
It was still daytime, and the gate was ajar. Lin Chang'er called out twice at the door, then went inside carrying her things. The old doctor happened to hear her and came out as well.
Seeing that it was her, she said, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "It's not me, it's a cow I bought today."
The old woman was taken aback, then waved her hand, "If the cow isn't feeling well, you need to see a veterinarian. I'm not an expert in this..."
