441: Is this really a way to seek good fortune?

After lunch, at 1:30 PM, Ye Su drove to the entrance of the urban village to pick up Meng Feiyu, who had been waiting for him for a while.

Sitting in his dream car for the first time, Meng Feiyu felt both reserved and amazed. He couldn't help but look around before remembering to introduce the situation to Ye Su:

"I've already looked into the Qian Nong Cattle Farm I chose. The cattle are all brought in from Qian Province, and both the quality and the meat are quite good, so there shouldn't be any issues."

Ye Su knew that although Beef Hot Pot Restaurants were ubiquitous in Guangdong Province, there weren't many places that actually raised cattle.

Like the cattle farms back in his hometown, many would regularly buy cattle from a few fixed provinces, transport them to a temporary cattle farm to be raised for a period, and then slaughter a fixed amount every morning and afternoon to supply fresh meat to various Hot Pot Restaurants.

Clearly, the cattle farm Meng Feiyu chose operated under the same business model.

"I don't know much about this aspect, but since you've looked into it, it should be fine. Once the storefront for Joyful Gathering is cleared out tomorrow, we'll start renovations and prepare for the opening. My visit this time is just to get a symbolic understanding, and while I'm at it, I'll buy a cow to bring good luck to our brand."

"Buy a cow!"

Hearing this, Meng Feiyu's brain went blank for a moment, unable to process it.

When other stores opened and wanted to bring good luck, didn't they just buy a few flower baskets and set off a few strings of firecrackers?

Those with the means would hire a lion dance troupe to hold a lively opening ceremony.

This was the first time he had ever heard of someone trying to bring good luck to an opening by going to a cattle farm to buy a cow...

As expected, he still couldn't keep up with the way wealthy people thought.

Meng Feiyu didn't understand Ye Su's approach, but he respected it and didn't try to dissuade him.

Working for the boss, saying less and doing more was never wrong.

After helping Ye Su set the destination, Meng Feiyu fastened his seatbelt, and then, under Ye Su's lead, they drove out of the city.

Half an hour later, Ye Su's Lamborghini pulled up outside a cattle farm on the outskirts of the city.

The eye-catching vehicle model immediately attracted the attention of several people inside the cattle farm.

"Holy crap, it's a Lamborghini Urus!"

They never expected to be able to afford a luxury car worth millions in this lifetime, but that didn't stop the workers at the cattle farm from looking at various luxury cars on their phones in their spare time to feast their eyes.

And then, in the comment sections of various short video platforms, they would discuss with other netizens with great authority which luxury car was more worth buying.

So, the few of them were well aware that although they were both "cattle," that little golden bull of his could buy their entire cattle farm!

"Why would someone driving a car like that come to our cattle farm?"

"Who knows."

Amidst the workers' discussion, Ye Su and Meng Feiyu got out of the car from both sides and walked into the cattle farm.

"Two bosses." As the two entered, a middle-aged man ran up: "I am the manager of the cattle farm, Yang Peng. I don't know if there is anything I can help you with?"

"Hello." After greeting him, Ye Su explained their purpose: "We run a Beef Hot Pot Restaurant and wanted to come here to order meat, and also buy a cow while we're at it."

"Ordering meat and buying a cow, right? No problem. Go inside first, I'll go tell our boss."

While inviting the two into the cattle farm, Yang Peng pulled out a pack of cigarettes and enthusiastically offered them to the pair.

"Thanks." Ye Su raised both hands to refuse: "I don't smoke, you guys go ahead."

Meng Feiyu, on the other hand, took the cigarette and lit it.

Yang Peng also lit a cigarette before sending a message to his boss, saying that there were customers at the farm to buy a cow.

"Our boss will be over in a bit. Since you mentioned wanting to buy a cow, why don't we go take a look at the cattle first?"

"Sure."

Under Yang Peng's lead, the two followed him to the cattle barn.

The scale of Qian Nong Cattle Farm was not small. Ye Su roughly estimated that the total number of cattle in the barn must be over 100.

"Boss Ye, do you want to choose yourself, or should I pick one for you?"

"Let me take a look myself first."

In Ye Su's field of vision, he could already see a glowing area ahead, which was clearly the location of the cow from the intelligence.

However, within that range, there were several cows bunched together, and Ye Su couldn't immediately distinguish which one was the target of his trip.

He dawdled around the glowing area, picking for two minutes, when one of the cows stepped away, causing the system's light to move along with it.

"Hello, I want to buy that cow, the one that just walked away."

Following the direction of Ye Su's finger, Yang Peng confirmed which cow Ye Su had chosen, and his brow furrowed: "You want to buy this cow..."

Having worked at the cattle farm for so many years, Yang Peng could easily recognize the condition of each cow.

At a glance, he recognized that the one Ye Su had carefully selected was the old cow in the farm that was already six or seven years old.

For a Hot Pot Restaurant, they normally used young cattle around two years old; meat from cattle of that age would be more tender, suitable for hot pot.

Like the old cow in front of them, already six or seven years old, the meat quality would be quite tough, making it more suitable for stewing.

Having just heard that Ye Su ran a Hot Pot Restaurant, Yang Peng thought he wanted to buy the cow for his shop. No matter how he looked at it, this old cow in front of him wasn't suitable to sell to him.

He felt conflicted for a moment, but seeing that his boss hadn't arrived yet, Yang Peng lowered his voice and reminded Ye Su: "Boss, the cow you picked is already a six or seven-year-old ox. The meat will be a bit tough to eat. Why don't you swap it for another one?"

Assuming Ye Su didn't know how to pick cattle, Yang Peng kindly suggested: "Otherwise, let me pick a young cow around two years old for you; that meat will be more tender. You can rest assured, Boss, the quality of the cattle we raise at our farm is definitely beyond reproach; I won't intentionally pick a bad cow to rip you off."

Yang Peng's kind reminder made Ye Su develop some good feelings toward this cattle farm manager, and he replied with a smile: "It's fine, I'm not buying this cow for the Hot Pot Restaurant. Actually, I came to buy a cow this time because I specifically consulted a master, who told me to pick a cow in the farm based on my own intuition. This will ensure my shop is booming and that I can open more and more branches."

"You're buying a cow for this?"

When Yang Peng heard this, he thought Ye Su had been swindled by some feng shui charlatan. He wanted to warn Ye Su not to be deceived, but he was worried that since they were strangers, speaking too much might bring bad luck or offend him.

If he really listened to his advice and didn't buy this cow, it would be fine if the Hot Pot Restaurant's business boomed later. But he was afraid that if the business failed, they might blame him, saying it was because they listened to his advice and didn't buy the cow, which caused the Hot Pot Restaurant to go under.

After thinking it over, Yang Peng had no choice but to swallow his words and stop trying to persuade Ye Su, to avoid causing trouble for himself.

Just then, another middle-aged man wearing a striped polo shirt with a big belly walked up to the three of them. After a quick look, he enthusiastically greeted Ye Su: "Hello, Boss. I am the owner of our cattle farm, Wang Anjie."

"Hello, Mr. Wang." After shaking hands with Wang Anjie, Ye Su pointed to the glowing old cow: "I want to buy that cow."
