商あきないは牛うしのよだれ

expression

one should not rush to make a profit; business is best run when sales flow like a cow's drool

Proverb advising patience in business; profit should come slowly and steadily, like a cow's drool, rather than through hasty or greedy actions.

• 「商あきないは牛うしのよだれ」と言いうように、焦あせらずに長ながく続つづけることが大たい切せつだ。

  As the saying goes, 'Business is like a cow's drool,' meaning it's important to keep at it patiently for the long haul without rushing.
