Some were indifferent, especially Zhang Wuliang, who inspected each cow's teeth, hooves, and fur one by one, yet he remained silent about whether he wanted to buy or not.
At least give a clear answer! Has he really seen so many cows without finding a satisfactory one?
He rolled his eyes and casually plucked a blade of Dogtail Grass from the roadside, chewing on it while swaying back and forth, his expression showing impatience.
However, Zhang Wuliang continued to examine the cows seriously; after all, this was for the Kid's future use. He couldn't afford to be careless, especially since it was a young lady who was spending her money on an Ox Cart.
People passed by in front of them, smiling and greeting, "Oh, business is good today! Prosperous business!"
The Boss rolled his eyes. What does it matter if business is good? Dealing with such indecisiveness for so long without a decision was frustrating, especially with so many people watching.
The few people in front were actually all from the same family. Was it really necessary for so many to come? It made sense for one or two people to buy a cow, but did they really need this many?
Five or six strong laborers plus one girl crowded the cow pen, leaving little room to move.
Finally, the selling Boss couldn't hold back any longer: "Hey! Are you going to buy or not? Just give me a clear answer. You've been here for so long; if you're not buying, just step aside and don't interfere with my business."
"Honestly, with so many people blocking the way, no one else can come here. Isn't this delaying things?" he muttered to himself.
As he watched people pass by to check out other sellers first, he felt furious and helpless. With such a large crowd, it was natural for others to look elsewhere.
After all, there were plenty of sellers; no one would decide to buy just from one place. They would definitely compare prices.
But sometimes buying something depends on fate; if the first item caught your eye but you couldn't find that same excitement afterward, then that initial impression was crucial.
The Boss's impatience stemmed from this concern.
Zhang Wuliang looked up in surprise at such a businessman with such poor service attitude and impatient tone.
"Village Chief, why don't we go look over there instead? Let's not disturb this Boss's business," Liu Qingxi said, unable to tolerate such poor service and shortsightedness.
Yes, their group might not be dressed well, but at least they were clean; their clothes were washed white without holes or patches. Did they really need to be looked down upon?
Others felt the same anger; Zhang Wuliang even more so. Among the dozen cows he had seen, there were two that looked decent. However, Liu Qingxi insisted that if they were going to buy, they should get several—perhaps six cows for good luck.
He decided to remain silent and prepared to choose a few more before making a decision.
As a result, you want to buy, but they are unwilling to sell. So forget it; after all, the cattle from this place aren't that great.
A few of them exchanged knowing glances and clapped their hands before leaving. What’s the big deal? With money, who fears not being able to buy good things? There are so many sellers; buyers are least afraid of competition among sellers.
One of the Young Men couldn’t hold back his frustration and left with a harsh remark: “Boss, your attitude is really poor. I hope you don’t regret it later.”
“Regret what? A bunch of country bumpkins who clearly can’t afford anything, pretending to be wealthy. After so many years in business, I can see through it in a year. Hurry up and leave; don’t waste my time.”
Unfortunately, he was truly mistaken this time.
However, at that moment, he didn’t realize it, and by the time he did, it would be too late.
If this deal went through, it would equal more than half a month’s worth of sales.
After sending them off, the Boss immediately greeted the next customers with a smile: “Wang Butler, you’re here! How many cattle do you need today?”
“Li Yuanwai, good harvest! How many do you need? The cattle here are all well-fed and strong. Kid, do you want to take a look?”
Liu Qingxi glanced back; this Boss seemed to cater only to the servants of wealthy landowners. Even the attire of the house servants was much more refined than theirs, prompting the cattle-selling Boss to bow and flatter them.
Well, there are just too many people in this world who judge by appearances. Liu Qingxi didn’t want to dwell on it; the truth would eventually reveal everything.
Sometimes one cannot only focus on immediate benefits. At the same time, she reminded herself that in sales, attitude is crucial.
For instance, that person earlier—Liu Qingxi knew she would never work with someone like him again.
Walking along the paths between various sellers, there were those selling sheep, chickens, ducks, fish—everything one could imagine; it was bustling with activity.
Vendors occasionally called out: “Come see! Lively chickens! Home-raised and delicious at a good price!”
“Take a look at our offerings!”
After walking about fifty meters, she found another cattle seller. This one wasn’t as large as the previous one but still had a decent number of cattle. Further inside were small-scale sellers with a few home-raised animals they needed to sell for various reasons.
Each seller had only a couple of heads of cattle at most.
This Boss was clearly more personable than the last one. When Zhang Wuliang inquired about cattle, there wasn’t a hint of impatience on his face: “Brother, what kind are you looking for? A sturdy one or a calf?”
"Guessing you bought it for farming, right? In less than two months, you'll be harvesting crops. It's best to buy a strong one now; you can put it to work right away, which is cost-effective. Otherwise, if you get a calf, you'll have to raise it slowly, and it won't be useful this year."
"Yes, Boss, you guessed correctly. I do want a strong one. I'll take a look first," Zhang Wuliang knew well that buying cattle shouldn't be rushed; the more anxious one is, the more mistakes one makes.
Don't think buying cattle is simple; there's a lot of knowledge involved.
Some cattle may look plump and shiny on the outside, but they might not be able to do heavy work.
You should choose those with good teeth, strong hooves, and solid muscle.
This Boss was enthusiastic, unlike the previous one who had been indifferent.
"Brother, let me introduce you. I've been selling cattle here for several years; I guarantee it's Fair and Square. Let me show you this one; I just bought it a few days ago."
These cattle sellers usually don't raise the animals themselves; they buy them from various places and then sell them at a markup.
Of course, there are risks involved. For example, if they don't sell the cattle in time and have to keep them, they might lose weight or get sick, which significantly affects their price.
"A family had an emergency and needed to sell quickly. They live far from town and couldn't come here, so they sold it to me. I assure you this cow is in great shape; it worked on the farm just two days ago."
Zhang Wuliang leaned in to take a closer look.
