The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mu Yangling stayed for an extra day, and after going around the city, he brought back four stewards, and let them choose at the price of four taels of silver per sheep.

The four stewards are all stewards of well-known wealthy families in the city, and they are very dissatisfied with Mu Yangling's price increase, "Little girl, I heard that you sold it to others yesterday for only three or two, why did it increase in just one day?" One or two."

"That's right, even if our boss is rich, it's not so easy for people to take advantage of."

Mu Yangling hurriedly explained: "The uncles in charge have misunderstood. I selected the sheep that were pulled into the city yesterday. They asked for forty, so I pulled in forty. Among those sheep, the smallest one was the raw one. The price that can be weighed is only 32,060 yuan, and I sold them whole, and the biggest one," Mu Yangling smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Although I haven't weighed it, I have raised it for so long Sheep also know a little bit, and the biggest one can be worth about three, two or five dollars, but you can see how many of you choose sheep from me."

Mu Yangling pointed to the flock of sheep and said: "Except for the six sheep that the Bai family took away this morning, there are still two hundred and fifty-four sheep. You can choose one sheep for three taels of silver. The few who are still in a hurry will take my last sheep. Okay, let me choose them all? My last one might be sold for five taels of silver."

"Fart, we are kind people in charge, can we take advantage of you?"

"That's right, it's not that they are too poor to eat." The four stewards looked at the flock and felt that some of them were particularly strong and energetic, so they waved their hands and said, "Okay, okay, four taels, four taels , how did we choose to pull it out?"

"Just choose with confidence, point it out to me, and I'll arrest you."

The four stewards also thought it was dirty, so they stood outside the fence and wandered around the flock for a while, and someone pointed to the fatter one and said, "I want this one."

Mu Yangling stepped into the fence, fixed his eyes on the sheep, pulled one of its legs quickly and carried it out.

The four stewards were speechless, and then designated sheep one after another for Mu Yangling to catch. In the end, Mu Yangling caught a total of fifteen sheep.

Mu Yangling tied the sheep of the four families separately, and then went to wash his hands and settle the money with the four stewards.

They also knew that the sheep they selected were worth more than four taels, so they settled the bill with Mu Yangling happily.

Fifteen goats cost sixty taels of silver in total. After the money and goods are paid off, each family will drive their own sheep back.

Xiuhong curled her lips and said, "They're really stingy, unlike the Bai family, they said they were willing to buy them for five taels of silver as soon as they came up, and then gave them a reward of two taels of silver."

Bowen said with a smile: "Cousin, the management of the Bai family is smarter than them. I asked my sister to help them choose sheep. The six sheep were all selected by my sister. They are not comparable to the ones they selected."

"Bowen is right, we and the Bai family are a win-win situation, that's all, throw some fodder in for the flock, don't forget to add water, take good care of them, let's go eat and drink, sleep in a while, tomorrow We have to set off before dawn, otherwise we won't have time to find a place to stay when we arrive at Xingyuan Mansion."

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, Mu Yangling counted the money he earned in the past two days. After removing the copper coins, he recovered a total of two hundred and sixteen taels of silver. It looked like a lot, but in fact it was not much in the bag , just over thirteen catties, Mu Yangling said, as long as it is silver, let it be heavier.

After counting the money, I put the bag on the kang, leaned against the wall and looked out, this window is facing the sheep, as long as I open my eyes, I can see that Bowen and Xiuhong have gone to sleep, and the landlord's family doesn't know Where did he hide? The people who were lingering behind the tree outside had no courage to come forward. Mu Yangling looked at it, then yawned. He was not interested in staring at it again, and fell asleep on the kang with a quilt on it.

Mu Yangling thought that the other party would attack them in the afternoon when they were more soundly asleep, but she still overestimated them. When she woke up after sleeping, those people were still hesitating behind the tree and didn't dare to go forward, probably because it was daytime , so I still have no guts.

Mu Yangling sat on the kang and thought about it for a while, and felt that this kind of person was probably not a habit of stealing, so he put on his clothes and went out, walking in the direction where they were hiding.

Unexpectedly, after only twenty steps, those people realized something was wrong and turned around and ran away. Mu Yangling could only stop and looked at their disappearing backs helplessly. She didn't want to arrest anyone, but just wanted to chat with them Talk about life, but the other party seems to be afraid of her.

After thinking about it, he turned around and went back.

Xiuhong and Bowen also woke up, looking at Mu Yangling with confused eyes, "Sister, where did you go just now?"

"Just walk outside for a while, wake up and get up, let's make dinner, and prepare the dry food for tomorrow. I don't think there will be time to stop and rest at noon tomorrow."

Xiuhong woke up instantly when she heard the words, and immediately got off the kang, her cousin's cooking skills are so good, so the task of cooking has to fall on her.

Mu Yangling also knows that she is not very good at this. She feels that the home-cooked dishes she cooks are still delicious, but they are not comparable to Shu Wanniang and her aunt who are superb cooks. Progressing in a straight line, Shu Wanniang's opinion is that Mu Yangling has already been dumped by three streets.

So Mu Yangling helped Xiuhong in the kitchen.

After they prepared the dry food for tomorrow, it was getting dark, and Mu Yangling and the others began to eat.

Their food wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good compared to what they had at home, but it was enough for the landlord's children to salivate.

Mu Yangling had just eaten a piece of meat with chopsticks, when she saw the two children hiding outside the door and looking in, staring at... the meat on her chopsticks, swallowing her saliva from time to time.

Mu Yangling waved at them and said, "Go home and get a bowl of rice."

The elder sister understood, and ran to the next door after teasing the younger brother. After a while, the two little ones came over with two bowls of rice.

Seeing them standing awkwardly on the ground, Mu Yangling asked them to eat, but timidly guessed with chopsticks. After thinking about it, he took an empty bowl and put some dishes aside for them, saying: "Eat!" Bar."

The two children took a careful look at Mu Yangling and the others, and then started to eat hungrily.

Bowen's eyes widened, but Xiuhong looked at them in a daze. She remembered that when she first arrived at Mu's house, she scrambled for food like this, because she was so hungry and greedy that she couldn't see anything except food. I can't see it anymore.

Mu Yangling knocked on the bowl and said, "Why are you standing there? Why don't you eat quickly?"

The two were busy eating with their heads down.

Mu Yangling and the others cooked a lot of food, but the food was only enough for themselves, but the two children obviously didn't need extra food. They cleaned up all the food on the table, and their stomachs were full. Mu Yangling was afraid that it would burst, so he kept saying not to eat too much, and be careful of bursting.

Both children just lowered their heads and ate.

The eldest of the two children is only five years old. Although his face is a little yellow, the situation of their family should not be so hungry, right?

Xiuhong leaned into Mu Yangling's ear and said, "The peasants are reluctant to eat, and they want to save some money for emergency use in the future. I think their parents must eat worse than them. Everyone lives like this of."
