After the two of them had discussed it, Li Yan took Mr. Li, who was still in a daze, out of the livestock market.

The young master was present, so Mr. Li couldn't ask any more questions. Now that only the grandfather and grandson were left outside the market, Mr. Li asked curiously, "Second girl, who was that person just now? Why was he so generous?"

Li Yan briefly told Old Man Li about her encounter with Qin Yue: "He's the son of the great general of the Northwest. Even if it's double the money, let alone five oxen, he can still find him!"

Mr. Li nodded when he heard this, and he agreed with this.

What the two of them didn't know was that at this moment, in a corner of the market, two people hiding in the dark were watching their master standing at the entrance of the busy market, watching them leave.

Ying Si asked curiously, "Brother, the master asked you to buy all the cattle in the market this morning. Was it just to deceive this girl?"

Ying Yi glanced back at Ying Si and said calmly, "How can you talk like that? Be careful or the master will take away all your snacks!"

Ying Si nervously covered his mouth, looked around with his big round eyes, then put his hands down, smiled playfully, and revealed his shallow dimples: "Brother, don't scare me!"

For a little foodie, the punishment of not having any snacks to eat is too terrible!

Yingyi made a silencing gesture at the corner of his lips, signaling the boy not to speak anymore!

It turned out that Qin Yue sent Ying Yi to Lijia Village yesterday to inquire about Li Yan's movements.

Later, he found out that the girl was looking for someone to plow the land and seemed to be coming to the city to buy a cow. After getting the news, he immediately came back and informed his master of Li Yan's movements.

Qin Yue couldn't help but laugh when he heard it. He was just looking for her to ask for advice on how to grow sweet potatoes, and now he ran into her!

Then he ordered Ying Yi, who was standing below him, "Take your men and buy up all the cattle in the livestock market! No matter what method you use, I don't want to see any cattle in the market when I go there tomorrow!"

Yingyi: “Yes!”

He then stepped back and went to find someone to handle the matter.

Five oxen were brought to the general's mansion, which worried the old housekeeper. He hurried to find Mr. Cen to inquire about the situation: "This general's mansion only raises horses. When did they start raising cattle?"

Zeng Bo smiled and patted his old friend: "Don't worry, this cow is only temporarily placed in the general's mansion for one day, and it will be taken away tomorrow!"

The old housekeeper was relieved after hearing this! The old housekeeper originally thought that the young master was just thinking about raising cattle on a whim, but there was only a stable in the general's mansion, not a cowshed. Fortunately, these cattle only stayed for one day.

Seeing her daughter return empty-handed, Mrs. Lin asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you were going to buy a cow? Didn't you buy any?"

Li Yan said helplessly: "Don't mention it, I don't know if it's time for spring plowing, there's not even a single cow in this market!"

With so much land at home, how long would it take to work without cattle? Lin said, "How about waiting for your father to come back in the evening and asking him if he has any ideas?"

Li Yan sat down next to her mother and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, mother. I've borrowed the cow and it will arrive tomorrow!"

Seeing Lin's puzzled expression, Li Yan told her about her encounter with Qin Yue in the city today.

Seeing her daughter's confident look, Mrs. Lin gently smoothed her daughter's messy hair at the temples.

The mother and daughter sat together, enjoying the rare peaceful moment.

Li Yan counted on her fingers and found that there were thirty acres of wasteland. If one cow could plow three acres a day, five cows would be able to plow the thirty acres of wasteland at the foot of the mountain in just two days!

It originally took five days to raise two cows, but now it has been shortened to two days, which makes Li Yan feel a lot happier.

But she had not yet realized that having cows alone was not enough!
