The Reborn Wife is Farming

Xingyuan Mansion is the capital of the entire Lizhou Road, governing the 17 states below, such as Xingzhou Mansion, so although it is located in the bitterly cold north, this big city is also prosperous.

The city wall is high, the gate of the city is about 50 meters long, and 30 meters are left in the middle for the entry and exit of chariots and horses. There are also checkpoints on both sides, and goods and strangers must enter through the checkpoints. After the things were seized, Mu Yangling knew that she would bleed heavily when she drove this batch of sheep in.

The four next to them have been suppressed by the gate of Xingyuan Mansion, and they couldn't recover for a while.

After a long time, Zhang Wu sighed, "This is Xingyuan Mansion."

"Okay, we can't go into the city today, first go to find a place to live nearby, rest for one night, and then go into the city tomorrow."

Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu hurriedly helped turn the sheep in one direction, and found a small village nearby.

Because the gate of the city is still open, there are not many people who need to stay outside, so the new landlord does not charge them a lot of money, at least it is much cheaper than living in the city. You must know that they still have a large flock of sheep, ordinary inns Not going to accept this.

Zhang Wucai moved the things on the car into the house, and seeing Xiuhong wanting to measure rice for cooking, she hurried forward to help, Xiuhong stopped him and asked, "Can you cook?"

Zhang Wu scratched his head and said with a smile: "It can be eaten."

"Then I'll do it. You can buy some vegetables and come back. We have the meat ourselves." He said and took out ten coins for him.

Mu Yangling is inquiring about the situation of Xingyuan Mansion with the landlord, as well as the taxes that need to be paid for goods entering the city.

The landlord glanced at their sheep, and Mu Yangling shrewdly stuffed ten cents into his hand. The landlord smiled and said, "Girl, the governor of our Xingyuan Mansion is kind. You only need to give me some meaning in the city, but you have enough sheep, and they are all on a large scale, I'm afraid..."

Mu Yangling hurriedly said: "Uncle, these sheep are not all from my family, but from every household in the village. Isn't this the Hu people who were beaten away by General Qi? No one will take this sheep, and this year there is a drought , There was no harvest in the field, and the village had no choice but to let me drive the flock down to try my luck."

"Well, it should be possible to pay less money for the soldiers guarding the gate."

"..." Then she should pay the tax, isn't she most afraid of the extra fees charged by the soldiers?

It would cost her a flock of sheep four or five taels of silver to drive them into the city, but when the time comes, the gatekeepers will catch two. Will she resist, or will she pretend she didn't see it?

Bribing soldiers is more expensive than paying taxes.

Mu Yangling became annoyed, "How can such a large flock of sheep be driven in?"

Bowen served his sister a bowl of rice and said, "Why do we have to drive all of them in? Sister, we can invite people out of the city just like the white landlords and others. Let us choose by ourselves, and the soldiers guarding the gate will bully us as foreigners." Only people who dare to ask for bribes, if they are locals, they won’t have this trouble, and if the rest can’t be sold, we’ll go to the city and try again.”

Mu Yangling was overjoyed, rubbed Bowen's hair and said, "Okay, boy, my sister didn't expect this, then we feel like eating and taking a bath, and have a good sleep first, and we will go to the city tomorrow."

Mu Yangling left Zhang Wu to watch the sheep, and took Zhang Liu and Xiuhong Bowen into the city.

Following the flow of people into the city, passing the gate of the city, the streets inside are suddenly revealed to everyone. The streets are twice as wide as Xingzhou Mansion. The sun has just risen, and there are already many people on the streets.

Mu Yangling stood for a while, then said: "Let's go, go to the teahouse to have some breakfast first, and inquire about the news."

The group sat down in a nice-looking teahouse. The teahouse had two floors, and a shed was built outside, with four or five tables inside. Most of the people sat on the first floor, but there were fewer people on the second floor. , obviously, these people came not only for breakfast, but also for chatting.

This is similar to Xingzhou Prefecture.

Mu Yangling found a table and sat down. The smiling Xiaoer came forward to wipe the table. When he looked up and saw them, he was taken aback. He had never seen them before. Although he was in a tea house, anyone who came to have breakfast would be fine. It's acquaintances, few strangers appear, and it's not drinking tea at noon...

"What would you like to eat, fellow guests?" Xiao Er hesitated to wipe his gaze away from Zhang Liu and put it on Mu Yangling.

He is a clever young man with a wink. He knew so quickly that she was the boss between them. Mu Yangling glanced at the other tables and said, "Ten big meat buns, four bowls of mutton soup, and another plate Beef," Mu Yangling paused, and asked, "Do you have beef?"

"Oh, good luck, girl. Our shopkeeper just grabbed dozens of catties of beef yesterday, and was about to add a dish to the lunch."

"Okay, I want these first, let's go."

When everyone heard what Mu Yangling ordered, they all turned their heads to look at them curiously, and turned their heads away after only a few glances.

The meat buns at this time were twice as much as they bought in the previous life. Although the skin was a bit thick, they were still delicious.

Mu Yangling ate four by himself, Bowen and Xiuhong each ate one and a half, and Zhang Liu also ate three. After cleaning up the beef on the table, the four drank the hot mutton soup contentedly.

Seeing that Xiao Er was not so busy anymore, Mu Yangling beckoned him over to ask, "Brother Xiao Er, where is the mutton seller in the city?"

"Miss, want to buy mutton? Then you have to go to the vegetable market in Dongshi, there are the most, but you may not be able to buy it after noon."

"Is lamb so tight?"

"Hey, besides the pork that is always available, don't you have to buy the mutton and beef as early as possible?"

"How can this mutton be compared with beef? Cows cannot be slaughtered at will, but our Xingyuan Mansion is not far from the border. How can we eat without mutton?"

"Say you don't understand?" Seeing that she is younger than him, and others usually lecture him, it's rare that he can teach someone else, so he said excitedly: "Although our Xingyuan Mansion is close to the border, But you don’t look at it. The market here was closed four or five years ago. Where else can we buy sheep? Some people raise sheep, but the main thing is farming. Not one of the ten families may raise sheep. It was also the goat that was chosen first, but this goat is mutton, how can it compare to the prairie sheep."

Seeing Mu Yangling nodding while listening, the little girl became even more excited, and said: "The old habit left by my ancestors is to eat mutton and drink mutton soup in winter to warm up and build a foundation. Buy a few catties of donkey meat and come back to try it. Everyone wants to buy it, so they will rush to buy it. Usually, the mutton is sold out after noon, so if you want to buy it, go after breakfast."

"How much is this lamb?"

"It depends on what kind of mutton you buy. Goats are fifty yuan a catty, and authentic prairie sheep with no smell are fifty-six yuan a catty."

Well, the one-day trip cost so much money, and this trip was worth it.

Xiao Er saw that she was thinking, and said: "This prairie sheep sells better than goats, but there are some people who like the smell of goats and think they are strong enough."

Mu Yangling gave him two pennies, and asked with a smile, "Then I want to eat mutton, where should I go?"

Two pennies is not much, but it was a pleasant surprise to Xiao Er who didn't often receive rewards, so he said more excitedly: "That's a lot, wait for me to tell you slowly."

"What are you talking about? I want to hear it too." A sinister voice behind me remembered.

Shocked, Xiao Er went straight forward to pick it up, and when he looked up, the shopkeeper was standing behind him and staring at him.
