They must be better than me, aren’t they?
Which one of them is friendlier?
Let’s go visit him together.
I’ll bring a couple of bottles of wine, have a good talk with him, and see if they can explain something from that book to me.” Pang Fa was growing more and more excited as he spoke.
“About the cattle raising, when you want to go, just come to my place and call me.
Is there anything else to be cautious about apart from what you’ve mentioned?” Yan Fei noticed the conversation was going off-topic and quickly brought it back.
“You still need to go to school.
Even if you have a place and raise cattle, you can’t watch over them every day.
You need someone else in the pasture to keep an eye on them, prevent others from stealing.
There’s much more to it!
It’s not as simple as you think!” Ma Yongming might not have been educated well before, but now he was a small contractor, and his thinking was quite reliable.
These were key issues in farming as well.
It would be a big problem if someone maliciously fed your cattle something unclean or stole your cattle.
“Yes, I’ll be at school during the day.
There needs to be someone there, but I can watch over them at night when I get back.” Yan Fei thought about it and felt that finding someone to guard the place was indeed important.
“It’s easy to find someone, the key is to prevent theft…” Ma Yongming continued to emphasize.
“I’m not afraid of theft.
There are people everywhere during the day, and I’ll be watching at night.
If anyone comes, I’ll cripple him.
If necessary, I’ll take two lives.
Let’s see how many thieves would dare to come.” Yan Fei didn’t fear this.
Anyway, he was even busier at night than during the day.
If anything urgent happened and he flew up into the sky, he could see everything within dozens of miles.
Unless the thief could also fly, they wouldn’t be able to take the cattle away.
“Wow, such a young age, and you’re already so bold.
You’re just a kid.
Those who steal cattle are desperate for money.
You…” The young woman beside them couldn’t help but interject upon hearing Yan Fei’s big words.
“What do you know?
Just sit aside and listen.” Ma Yongming interrupted the woman before she finished speaking.
“I think it’s fine for Yan Fei to raise cattle, as long as he’s not afraid of hard work and can always keep an eye on them, he really doesn’t need to worry about theft.” Pang Fa continued the conversation.
He laughed and looked at Ma Yongming before continuing to speak, “Almost everyone now knows about Yan Fei catching the cattle thief.
If anyone in the neighborhood wants to try something, they’d better think twice.
Anyway, if it were me, I definitely wouldn’t mess with such people, even if I were desperate for money.”
“You should stop encouraging him.
He can’t control his own strength.
It’s not like the old days, if you kill a thief, it could be a big problem.” Ma Yongming stopped Pang Fa from speaking.
He turned to Yan Fei and asked, “Are you sure about this?
Do your parents agree?
Where did you get the money from?”
“He probably has more money than me.
I earn some money, but the costs are high.
He only earns and doesn’t spend, I know Yan Fei from Sancha River Town, he catches wild rabbits bare-handed with his two legs.
The wild rabbits he’s been selling since the summer vacation are worth thousands.” Pang Fa couldn’t help feeling jealous as he spoke.
“Really?
How come I’ve never heard you mention this?” Ma Yongming was stunned.
“You never asked, did you?
And besides, I think Yan Fei kept it a secret from everyone.
I’m keeping it a secret for him!” Pang Fa laughed heartily.
“Ah…” Yan Fei was taken aback.
He gave it some thought; it made sense.
He had heard about Pang Fa from Fifth Brother.
Pang Fa must also know about him but just hadn’t mentioned it.
Once he figured it out, he hastily thanked him, “I should thank you, Brother Fa.
If you had mentioned it to them, I might not be able to catch rabbits anymore.”
“Why should you thank him?
Your grandpa saved his life from the river.
If he weren’t on your side, I would have taught him a lesson.” Ma Yongming waved about his hand stained with Yellow Eel blood.
“You go out and catch rabbits every day?
Chasing them on your two legs, are you a dog?”
“Yeah, it’s reasonable to occasionally catch a rabbit, but this guy, he chases rabbits every day like it’s a sport.
Even the owner of the restaurant in the county where I sold Yellow Eel didn’t believe it and asked me if people in our town breed wild rabbits?
If I didn’t know about their family, I would’ve thought that he farms rabbits at home.” Pang Fa spoke indignantly.
Nowadays, people didn’t care about what was more nourishing, they just asked for more meat.
Rabbits were more valuable than fish like Yellow Eel and Loach outside of the holiday season, and catching fish didn’t fetch much.
Unless he were lucky enough to catch an Old Turtle and find a good buyer to earn more.
That’s why he had the idea of raising them himself!
These were only profitable during holidays, but they wouldn’t be a loss to keep any other time.
“Now I know why there has not been a single rabbit fur to be found outside the stockade lately, and all were sold by Yan Fei?” Ma Yongming seemed to have figured something out and started laughing.
“Are you talking about Heizi?
That bunch, they’re idiots going rabbit hunting with Native Dog, just crazy about trying to get rich.
Then they bragged make a huge fuss about chasing out a good number of rabbits in one night– I didn’t even tell them there’s someone who catches them every day, so let them fool around every night in chaos.” Pang Fa laughed too.
Yan Fei remembered the time he took advantage of them, a group of people using dogs to drive rabbits toward him.
He laughed, “You guys know them?
I ran into them.
Their dogs really drove some out.
It must have been just after the autumn harvest!
There were four or five, and I picked them all up before they knew it.”
Ma Yongming and Pang Fa couldn’t stop laughing, didn’t even have the energy to sit up straight.
The scene was just too funny to remember, and the young wives on the side giggled along.
“Get back to the cow talk, get back to it!” Yan Fei hurriedly reminded the two who were still laughing uncontrollably.
“Sure, I can see why the cattle thief was so unlucky to run into you, the night owl who wanders around every night, It’s not easy to avoid you!” Ma Yongming couldn’t help laughing.
“Those three cow thieves are really unlucky too.
I heard two of them are ruined, you were quite ruthless.”
“I was only five when I first saw a cattle thief beaten to death.
Those who do such things deserve to die.
One guy even threatened me to mess with my whole family that day!
I thought of beating him to death, but then I thought, if a person died, his family would be devastated!
In the end, I left him with a breath.” Yan Fei wasn’t afraid to say it, it had been so long anyway.
Nowadays, Yan didn’t allow himself to sit idle.
Sometimes, he gets upset whenever he thinks about not being able to see his grandfather anymore.
Alone and not wanting to talk about it, he just felt very bad.
“Let’s get back to the topic of cows.
Apart from finding a site and somebody to keep an eye on it, what else do I need?” After a moment of sadness, Yan Fei continued to push the two men to help him think about business matters.
“That’s pretty much it.
The remaining tasks just involve getting the supplies for the cows to eat.
Winter could be a little tricky, you probably need to buy some fodder at that time, as long as you have money you’d be fine.
Try gathering whatever is available around your place, it’s just a little bit more work.” Ma Yongming wanted to say more but he didn’t know what else to say, at least he had thought of this much for now.
“Mainly, you have to pay more attention to their health conditions, it is all the same regardless of what you raise.
Find someone who has experience raising cattle to help watch them.” Pang Fa added.
Indeed, there is no such thing as animal farming in this small town.
Every family raises chickens, and people in the countryside raise pigs, horses, cattle or whatever they have space for, no one knows how to establish a farming operation.
“Well then, think about where I can do the farming!
I plan to buy just a few cows to start with, and you guys help me find someone to help out.
As long as they can breathe and keep a watch, that’s enough.
I can do the labor work on my own.” Yan Fei was determined, and ready to go all out.
“Cattle farming is a dirty, laborious job.
Young people definitely won’t like it.
Even if they were, they’d go back for farm work once it gets busy.
And it’s also not easy to find idle people.
Wait, I just remembered someone, do you know that village’s welfare elderly guy?”
Yan Fei was deep in thought for a while, “Oh!
That old man with a broken leg, the one who looks a bit scary?
Is he still alive?”
“Yes, that’s him.” Ma Yongming grinned, “You just need to give him food, a little pocket money and he will help you keep watch.
You don’t even expect him to do the work.
If someone comes to steal cattle, even if you had a strong person watching, they might not dare to stop it.
Ultimately, you have to rely on yourself.
Like you said, as long as they can breathe, go find him!”
“How old is he?
Can he still do it?” Yan Fei hesitated.
He vaguely remembered the guy, knew he was a bit old, but didn’t know his exact age or how he was disabled.
He heard that he was a veteran who had been injured in combat.
“He’s still doing well!
He’s a welfare recipient but he can’t sit still, he always walks around with his crutches helping people with this and that.
You let him watch your stuff, he might help you think of some other things too.
Providing him with good food and drinks, he may even be more trustworthy than average.” Ma Yongming explained.
“Then it’s good.
He doesn’t need to do any work, just watch the gates during the day.
He doesn’t need to bother if someone wants to come steal the cows or poison them, he just needs to remember who they are.
This person is good enough.
I’ll give him a hundred bucks a month.” Yan Fei said confidently knowing he has money.
“No, you provide him with food and shelter, just give him about twenty or thirty Yuan.
If you give him a hundred, you’ll offend others and then there will be other people wanting to get in on it.
You don’t know how this works, just listen to me.
How much is your parents’ salary?
How much do the construction workers make recently?
There will be lots of places where you need to spend money in the future, so be frugal.” Ma Yongming quickly stopped his extravagant ways.
Yan Fei knows very well about working in construction for a few days, where every acquaintance who is introduced expects some kickbacks.
It’s difficult to reject if the person doesn’t do a good job.
Good thing he’s always been seen as a stubborn delinquent, not afraid to say no.
If it were his dad, he’d always be the one to rope in a few people to lay bricks.
