I was watching that with tears in my eyes. Priceless.
But 'boojn'? Why not 'koopn' (Yiddish: Koifn; German: Kaufen)? As in 'horsecoper'. To cope is to buy or trade.
I note, additionally, that the farmer used both Dutch and Frysk to understand the Englishman speaking Old English.
Thanks for posting that.
I thought you would enjoy it. :)
