Manbao and the others were not the first to crowd around; in fact, there were already quite a few people outside the straw shed looking at the cattle.
But most were just neighbors joining the hubbub, none daring to enter the shed, fearful that the County Governmental Office would make them take the cattle they looked at on credit.
So when Zhou Silang and his group pulled out their household registration to enter, the clerk who had set up a desk at the entrance of the shed glanced at them and asked, "Are you all from one family?"
Zhou Hu hurriedly took out his own registration and said, "No, I'm from another household."
The clerk made a note and waved them in with his hand, saying, "Alright, go in."
Everyone immediately entered.
Inside the shed, there were only cattle, along with a cattle hand in charge of them.
Seeing the four men looking around as they walked, clearly not experts, he leaned against a cow and asked, "Do you know how to select cattle?"
