"Yes, how much do you want?"

"Give me two taels of each."

"Sixty cents." The man grabbed the spice and handed it to Su Ziling.

Su Ziling paid the money, feeling very distressed. It was only five cents per tael. Even though she had a huge sum of money on her, she still felt it was ridiculously expensive. She thought she had to go deep into the mountains to look for it, otherwise the cost would be too high. .

This is much more expensive than meat.

Su Zimu looked at those things and said, "Sister, why did you buy this thing? Is it grandma's medicine?"

"It's not medicine, it's spices. I still have Grandma's medicine. Let's get it later." Su Ziling put the spices away and walked to the other side of the street.

"It's not medicine?" Su Zimu's tone was slightly louder, "It's not medicine and it's so expensive!"

Su Ziling glanced at him, "Don't you want to eat braised pork sausage? You can't braise it without spices."

Hearing what she said, the young man's expression changed very quickly, "Braised pork? This amount shouldn't be enough, right? Do you want to buy some more?"

The two of them walked further and further away. Su Zimu frowned and said, "Sister, where are we going?"

"Morning Glory Lane!"

"Where!!!" Su Zimu exclaimed.

Qianniu Lane is also the live animal market. I just got the place after asking Butcher Yang.

This is a separate alley on the outskirts of the county town, with cows, horses, donkeys and piglets in it.

Su Ziling has always wanted to buy a cow. Firstly, it can save a lot of labor, and secondly, it can also make dung. This dung is a good thing nowadays. Without fertilizer, the crops all depend on it.

"No, are you buying a cow now? Can we two do it? How about asking grandpa to come with us some other time to have a look?"

He said this, but his eyes were so bright that he couldn't hold his lips down.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Ziling slapped him on the back of the head, "We just came to take a look. Let's explore the price first so that we can have an idea. When the time comes to buy cattle, we will definitely have to call Grandpa, but I guess we will have to wait a little longer. Wait, I don’t have enough money!”

When I go back this time, I can pay off the debt, but I guess I won't have much money left after I pay it off.

Su Zimu: "..."

Bai was so happy, he thought he could go back with the cow today!

He also thought that when he leads the cow, the whole village will come to watch, what a wind!

Entering the alley, well, the smell is a bit loud and there are many people.

Those live animals were all tied up, and their owners were watching over them. Along the way, she listened and found out that the approximate asking prices were between ten and thirty taels. Horses were even more expensive, twice as much. Between fifteen and fifty, donkeys are slightly cheaper, less than ten taels.

Tsk!

After shopping around, Su Ziling and Su Zimu, who looked excited, hurriedly left. There was no money!

After a while, it felt like she was still far away from the day when she would buy a cow.

"Sister, did you see that cow just now? It's tall and big. It's much stronger than the one at Uncle Li's house. It must be very strong!"

Su Zimu's eyes were shining, and it was obvious that he liked it very much.

Su Ziling said lightly "Oh", "That other end? I saw it too,"

"How is it? How is it? Isn't it very beautiful?"

Su Ziling glanced at him and said, "Thirty taels."

"What?" Su Zimu didn't respond.

"That cow costs thirty taels." It's so expensive, how can it not look good?

Su Zimu: "Gah..."

He swallowed, "How much?"

Just now, he was just looking and didn't pay attention to listening. He couldn't move his eyes away at all.

Su Ziling: "That cow costs thirty taels of silver. I guess it's enough if you sell it for a month."

Su Zimu coughed and said, "What, hehe, I think that cow is just like that, just average, average. When we come back next time, there will definitely be something good."

Thirty taels. In the past, if you were free from pain and illness, you would have to save up for six or seven years to afford it.

It won't take long after I pay back the money, I guess I can buy it in early June.

I got home a little late today. Su Zizhong and the others came back very early today. Like they sell in the mountain col, there are customers every day, but the time and number of people coming are uncertain, so when there are many people, they come back early. If there are fewer people, it will be later.

Liu Guilan and his wife are also doing it faster and faster. They finished weeding the house two days ago and even came to help Su Ziling's house do it.

With Liu's mother helping to cook and take care of the children, they have more time to help out. After delivering the tofu every day, they come back to pick the leaves, and when they have picked enough, they are responsible for cleaning them.

Su Ziling thought, after this month is over, they will be given an increase of two cents a day, which will be twelve cents a day.

"Axiu, come open the door quickly, we are back!"

Hearing the sound, Axiu trotted over and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, she rushed over and hugged Su Ziling's leg, "Sister!"

Su Ziling pinched her face and said, "Let's see what good things I bought you."

Su A'nai also came out when she heard the sound, "Why is it so late today?"

"After wandering around the county, it was a little late." There was no one at home, and the leaves to be used tomorrow had been cleaned and put aside.

"Where are my grandfather and the others?"

"We went to pick tea. I thought that the tea leaves you picked for the first time might be ready for picking again, so I went to the mountain." Su A'nai came over to take their buckets.

"Yo, so many fat sausages."

"Well, let's leave it to be washed at night. Grandma, shall we have dumplings tonight?" Su Ziling put the sausage bucket aside and carried the meat into the kitchen.

Seeing her like this, Su A'nai knew that the tea would probably make a lot of money, "What kind of stuffing do you want to eat?"

Su Ziling thought for a while, "Just eat shepherd's purse, pork stuffing, and wild garlic and egg stuffing, right?"

"Okay, it just so happened that your elder brother and the others brought back some wild garlic. I'll help you pick it." Su A'nai took the wild garlic and went to pick it.

Su Zimu took a hoe and a basket and said, "Sister, let me go dig the shepherd's purse."

"Okay, be careful. Go dig it at the edge of the field. We have it in our vegetable patch. By the way, we can dig up some folded ear roots and bring them back."

"Got it!" The door slammed shut, and his voice came from outside the door.

"Sister, I'll light a fire for you!" Axiu took the initiative to sit in front of the stove door.

"Don't light the fire yet, Axiu, come here." Su Ziling took out the meat and took out a bag of sweet potato candies from the basket.

"Look what this is?" She took a piece and gave it to Axiu.

"Sugar!" Axiu's big eyes were watery, and her voice was clear and full of joy.

"Here you go, go eat."

Sweet potato candy is made from sweet potatoes, and is caramelized and crispy. “Grandma, here’s a piece for you.”

Su A'nai wiped the mud from her hands, "My teeth are not good, can I bite them?"

"You can bite it, it's very crispy."

"You made a lot of money today? Did you buy so much meat again?" Su Ah took a bite, and the sound of clicking sounded in the kitchen.

"Hmm...it's okay. I won't tell you yet. We'll watch it together when everyone comes back in the evening. I'm sure it will scare you." Su Ziling said while making noodles.

"I didn't buy a lot. I wanted to buy some more, but I couldn't take that much. If it's fat sausage, it's all marinated. Let's eat a little and sell the rest. After all, there's not much left."
