Chapter 198: Chapter 190: 3 Calves! (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

"The fat pig looks delicious; I want to eat it every meal!" Little Shui said honestly.

Han Qiwu: "..."

What a straightforward kid!

Relax, child. I don’t know about other families, but yours can definitely make it happen!

Soon, Han Qiwu carved the fat pig out of the apple. To make it easier for Little Shui to eat, he even removed the apple seeds and placed them on the pig’s snout, adding a lively touch.

"Wow! Thank you, Brother! This is the best apple I’ve ever seen!" Little Shui exclaimed happily, pulling out his phone to take a serious photo. He posted it on his social media along with the caption: "Cool Brother carved this piggy apple just for me!"

Han Qiwu leaned back on the sofa, flipping through a catalog for buying cattle while marveling at how advanced kids are these days.

It hadn’t even been three minutes, and he already overheard Little Shui chatting with three different female classmates via voice messages.

Quite impressive.

"Try some rice cakes; these were made at home and don’t have any weird additives like the ones outside." Yang Yangyang came over, jogging with a plate of freshly fried brown sugar rice cakes.

Han Qiwu thanked him and used his chopsticks to carefully pick up a piece. After blowing on it a few times, he took a gentle bite.

*Crunch*

The crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior provided a layered tasting experience. The rice cake was fragrant and pleasantly elastic, complemented perfectly by the brown sugar syrup sprinkled on top. He couldn’t stop eating.

"Delicious. Brother Yang, you’re quite skilled," Han Qiwu said with a smile as he praised him.

"Haha, as long as it tastes good," Yang Yangyang chuckled as he sat down. "Little Shui, let Daddy take a look at that fat pig Brother Han carved for you."

"Here you go." Little Shui tapped his phone, found the photo in the gallery, and handed it to Yang Yangyang.

"Nice photo. Where’s the actual thing?" Yang Yangyang asked as he looked at the phone.

"I ate it, of course." Little Shui patted his belly. "But this apple was a bit sour, not as sweet as the ones Grandma gave me last time."

Han Qiwu: "..."

Yang Yangyang: "..."

A half-pound apple, and you ate it all in just a few minutes?

Seeing the expressions on their faces, the well-fed Little Shui quickly jumped off the sofa. "Hehe, Brother carved that piggy so well it was super appetizing! Thanks, Brother! Thanks, Dad! I’m off to play with Xiao Mei!" With that, the little guy turned and ran off.

"Such a cute kid." Han Qiwu tried to smooth things over and pointed at the catalog. "Brother Yang, I’d like to buy one Angus cattle, one Holstein cow, one yellow ox, and twenty sacks of cattle feed."

The total for the three cows came to 15,000 gold coins.

If Han Qiwu hadn’t earned extra money fishing today, he wouldn’t have been able to afford it.

"Three cows?" Yang Yangyang said in mild surprise as he pulled out his phone. He addressed Han Qiwu seriously, "There’s no problem with the Angus and Holstein, but the yellow ox—are you buying it for plowing fields?"

"Yes," Han Qiwu nodded, feeling a bit curious. Was there something wrong with the yellow ox?

"If it’s for plowing, then you might want to take a look at this little buffalo." Yang Yangyang pulled up a picture on his phone and showed it to Han Qiwu.

Han Qiwu glanced at the photo. The little buffalo had a dark, blue-black coat with beautifully shaped small horns. It looked energetic, but there were scars on its belly and back.

"This buffalo is from my own family. It’s three months old, can produce milk, and is strong enough to plow fields. It’s way better than a yellow ox. If you’re interested, I can give you a good deal," Yang Yangyang said with a chuckle. "The thing is, this buffalo has a bit of a bad temper—it’s too aggressive and doesn’t fit in well here."

As Yang Yangyang introduced the buffalo, a system notification appeared in front of Han Qiwu.

[Aggressive Buffalo]

[Price: 2,000 gold]

[Required Space: 1]

[Daily Feed Consumption: 1.5 sacks of cattle feed]

[Animal Uses: Plowing, harvesting, etc.]

[Animal Products: Buffalo Milk]

[Note: Yang Yangyang only recommends this buffalo to his friends]

"That good, huh?" Han Qiwu felt a tinge of excitement. This buffalo could serve two purposes: plowing fields and providing buffalo milk, and the price was a steal!

Although it consumed a bit more feed and had a cranky nature, the pros far outweighed the cons.

The cost-performance ratio was off the charts!

That fat pig carving for Little Shui hadn’t been in vain.

Before coming here, Han Qiwu had done his homework. Buffalos were naturally bold and aggressive; Yang Yangyang was clearly doing him a favor by offering him this deal.

Such a good guy!

For Han Qiwu, the buffalo’s aggressive nature could be addressed later with proper care. He already had a few ideas.

"Alright, I’ll take it," Han Qiwu decided.

"Great," Yang Yangyang nodded. "Do you want me to drive it over for you? Guiding a calf home can be tricky."

"Sure, just drop it off at the front door," Han Qiwu agreed as he pulled out his phone to pay.

Forty minutes later, Han Qiwu stood at the door, waving at Yang Yangyang’s departing truck.

"After all this time, the barn is finally full." Han Qiwu looked at his cows with a great sense of accomplishment. The Angus was a bull, while the Holstein and the little buffalo were heifers. Including the Red Cow already at Jilei Mountain, he now had three heifers. Once they matured, he could collect three portions of milk daily!

And the Angus could eventually provide steak!

Hopefully, it’d stay out of trouble and quietly live its life as a beef cow, unlike those mischievous meat chickens.

Speaking of which, milking would be a whole new skill to learn. He’d have to ask Yang Yangyang for tips when there was a chance.

For now, he decided to check out the cow-raising manual.

Just like when he started raising chickens, Yang Yangyang had included a cow-raising manual as a gift.

[Cow-Raising Manual]:

[1. Whether calves or adult cows, they must live in a barn. Properly fed heifers can produce milk daily.]

[2. Only mature beef cattle can be processed into beef.]

[3. Calves grazing in the yard might eat immature crops.]

[4. Cattle lacking sufficient feed are at high risk of death.]

[5. Making cattle feed is simple: just harvest grass and dry it for one day.]

[To be continued...]

Two key pieces of information stood out in the manual: the third point, which meant Han Qiwu would need to fence off their grazing area, and the fifth point, which resolved the hidden threat implied in the fourth point.

With that realization, Han Qiwu let out a sigh of relief.

He wouldn’t need to buy a cattle feed machine from Master Shuzi anymore.

That saved him some money.

Feeling more confident after reading the manual, Han Qiwu held the reins and led the cows toward the yard.

The jet-black Angus, with faint marble-like muscle patterns, followed obediently.

The black-and-white Holstein, with a distinctive white patch on its forehead, also followed calmly.

The little buffalo followed too, but after just two steps, it nudged the Angus in the rear with its horns.

Han Qiwu: "????"

Feeling the resistance on the reins, he turned his head to look.

Already starting trouble?

Luckily, the Angus had a docile temperament and didn’t bother reacting to the buffalo’s antics. It quietly continued following Han Qiwu toward Jilei Mountain.

According to Yang Yangyang’s introduction, the little buffalo was three months old, while the other two were four months old.

Seeing the buffalo’s behavior, Han Qiwu didn’t pamper it. Instead, he first led the Angus and the Holstein to the entrance of Jilei Mountain.

[Select a space for the calves to join the barn. Remaining spaces available: 3]

Han Qiwu guided them inside.

[Angus added successfully]

[Holstein added successfully]

Inside Jilei Mountain, Han Qiwu rearranged their positions.

The Red Cow: top right corner, the Angus: top left corner, the Holstein: bottom right corner.

As for the bottom left, right at the entrance, that spot was naturally reserved for the aggressive little buffalo.

After feeding all of them with cattle feed, Han Qiwu took one more sack of feed to the yard’s entrance.

Staring at the little buffalo still standing in place, Han Qiwu walked over and tied its reins to its horns. In front of the buffalo, he dramatically tore open the bag of cattle feed and poured it into a large bowl, then slowly dragged the bowl into the yard before heading toward the cultivation cave.

What to do with a disobedient buffalo?

Lure it with food, of course!
