442: Natural bezoar in hand

Recognizing that Ye Su wanted to buy that old cow, which occasionally seemed a bit lethargic, Wang Anjie felt secretly delighted and nodded hurriedly: "No problem."

He then arranged for Yang Peng to take the cow to the weighbridge.

Seeing that Ye Su was just a young man who didn't understand the tricks of picking cattle and had suffered a hidden loss, things had already reached this point.

Yang Peng could only sigh internally for Ye Su, then followed Wang Anjie's arrangements and led the old cow to the weighbridge.

He knew that the Lamborghini parked outside the cattle farm had been driven there by Ye Su.

While Yang Peng went to weigh the cow, Wang Anjie chatted warmly with Ye Su: "You look like a talented young man, Boss. May I ask where you are from?"

"We are both from Guying."

"Oh, fellow countrymen."

"Haha." Ye Su smiled politely: "Yes, indeed."

"Boss Ye, you clearly look like a promising young man." Wang Anjie took the opportunity to probe: "I wonder what kind of business Boss Ye is in?"

"Just making some small casual investments." Ye Su replied casually and steered the conversation back to business:

"I'm planning to open a Beef Hot Pot Restaurant recently. I came to you, Boss Wang, because I heard the quality of your cattle is good, and I'd like to source meat from you consistently every day in the future."

"You are most welcome." Hearing this, Wang Anjie thumped his chest: "I'm not bragging, but you won't find many cattle farms in the entire Yangcheng with better sources than mine. Many of your fellow countrymen who run Beef Hot Pot Restaurants in Yangcheng source their meat from me, and I guarantee the quality is excellent and fresh."

Ye Su was noncommittal about Wang Anjie's blatant bragging.

However, looking at the scale of this cattle farm and the fact that other Hot Pot Restaurants also sourced meat from here, he could be certain that the beef here shouldn't be too bad.

What Ye Su needed wasn't premium beef that was significantly higher in quality than other Hot Pot Restaurants while also being much more expensive.

With his secret shacha sauce, he only needed to use the same beef as other Hot Pot Restaurants, and the taste would be far superior to theirs.

Plus, with the added advantage of Joyful Gathering being located in the city center, as long as the reputation was established, setting prices a bit higher than ordinary Beef Hot Pot Restaurants—even reaching the price point of Hedilao—wouldn't be too difficult.

After briefly negotiating the regular meat supply with Wang Anjie, Yang Peng finished weighing the old cow that Ye Su had bought.

534 kilograms, at 32 yuan per kilogram, totaling 17,088 yuan.

Wang Anjie even rounded down the price for Ye Su, only charging him 17,000 yuan.

Compared to the natural bezoar inside the old cow worth 1.65 million, 17,000 yuan was just a drop in the bucket.

Ye Su naturally didn't hesitate; after adding him as a friend, he readily transferred the money for the cow to Wang Anjie.

[Ding!]

At the exact moment Wang Anjie accepted the transfer, the system notification also rang.

[Host detected to have purchased ownership of the yellow cattle, successfully triggering a hidden easter egg reward. You can now use the [Pluck things from thin air] skill for free to transfer the natural bezoar inside the cattle to the system's [storage space]!]

Seeing the skill usage status notification pop up before him, Ye Su feigned walking around and circled to the other side of the yellow cattle.

"Here it comes!"

Taking advantage of the moment when others' gazes were diverted and the skill usage status turned from red to green, Ye Su immediately triggered the [Pluck things from thin air] skill.

[[Pluck things from thin air] skill used successfully!]

[storage space (7): natural bezoar (1001.3 grams)!]

With the natural bezoar successfully acquired, a fleeting smile appeared on the corner of Ye Su's mouth as he comfortably stroked the back of the yellow cattle.

Perhaps it was because the two-jin bezoar inside its body had been removed by Ye Su, allowing the yellow cattle to instantly feel a long-lost sense of comfort, causing its bulging cow eyes to appear much brighter than just a moment ago.

However, at this moment, the attention of the people present was not on the yellow cattle, and no one could notice that the yellow cattle's spirit had suddenly improved significantly.

"Boss Wang, it's like this."

With the natural bezoar acquired, Ye Su suppressed his inner joy and began to think of a way to settle this yellow cattle:

"I bought this cow based on the advice of a Feng Shui master to bring good luck to my newly established brand. So, I haven't decided yet how to handle this yellow cattle. Do you think it could be temporarily boarded here, and when I have time, I'll figure out a way to take it away?"

Such a large yellow cattle, and a farmed one at that; Ye Su knew without looking it up that this definitely wouldn't meet the release species restrictions in the "Yangcheng Wild Animal Release Management Regulations."

If he killed it to eat? This cow weighed over a thousand jin, and would yield about three hundred jin of meat. Even if he were a huge glutton, there was absolutely no way he could finish it.

Helpless, Ye Su could only board it at the cattle farm first and slowly think of a way to get rid of the cow.

"You want to board it with me?" Hearing about a [Feng Shui cow] for the first time, Wang Anjie was a bit surprised.

When he heard Ye Su say he wanted to board the newly purchased yellow cattle at the farm, Wang Anjie showed a difficult expression again:

"Logically speaking, boarding isn't a problem, but you also know that this cow has already been sold to you. If it continues to be boarded here, we still have to spend on labor and feed. In case the cow gets any disease during this period, not only do we have to find a vet for it, but there might also be disputes, you see..."

Wang Anjie's concerns were not unreasonable, and Ye Su could understand.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Su proposed:

"How about this, I'll transfer another thousand yuan to you to cover the labor, feed, and other expenses for helping me raise the cow. You just keep raising it for another month like usual. Anyway, within this month, I will definitely find someone to come and take the cow away. Do you think that works?"

"One thousand yuan..." Wang Anjie quickly calculated in his mind.

The monthly expenses for a cow's feed, labor, water, and electricity were about 400 yuan. Ye Su giving one thousand yuan to have the farm help raise it for a month was a worthwhile deal.

After considering it and feeling there shouldn't be much risk, Wang Anjie nodded in agreement:

"Since Boss Ye says so, let's leave the cow with us for now. Then, let's both take photos for our records to ensure you won't mistake it when you come to pick it up later."

Having finally managed to get rid of this six-plus-year-old cow, Wang Anjie didn't want any more disputes, lest the other party renege later and demand to swap it for a good cow.

However, looking at Ye Su's attire and Charm, as well as the Lamborghini he drove over, Wang Anjie reckoned he wouldn't lower himself to do such a cheap thing.

"No problem."

As Wang Anjie suggested, Ye Su took a few photos of the cow, sent them to their WeChat for record-keeping, and then transferred the 1,000 yuan boarding fee to Wang Anjie.

After a few brief pleasantries, Ye Su left the cattle farm with Meng Feiyu and drove him back to the downtown area.

"Thank you for your hard work accompanying me on this trip this afternoon."

Meng Feiyu smiled apologetically: "I didn't even have to drive, what hard work could there be?"

"The storefront for Joyful Gathering will be vacated tomorrow. At that time, I'll need you to oversee the renovation and get the business license sorted out."

"No problem, leave it to me."

After saying this, just as Meng Feiyu was about to get out of the car, Ye Su took out a scratch-off lottery ticket from the armrest box and handed it to him.
