However, seeing that Gan Li was determined not to buy the cow unless the cart was delivered, after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and reluctantly nodded:
"If it weren't for the fact that my family needs money right now, I definitely wouldn't sell it to you for this price! Oh well, it's yours!"
Upon hearing this, Gan Li smiled and said a few kind words, then took out seven taels of silver and handed it to the cattle dealer.
The cattle dealer was pleased with the money and helped them hitch up the cart. The brother and sister then drove the oxcart toward the dock.
Looking at the robust cow walking ahead, Gan Mingyi still felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but say:
"This one cow has cost us more than half of the silver we've earned these past few days."
Ganli smiled and comforted him, "Brother, don't worry! This cow is our money-making treasure. Once we use the milk to make new foods, we'll earn much more money than this!"
Gan Mingyi always believed his sister's words without question. Seeing her confident look, he was finally happy and stopped talking, helping his sister catch the train.
The two drove to the grain store again, bought pears, and a large bag of taro. These things are in season now, cheap and plentiful.
After buying all of these, Ganli was finally satisfied.
Back at the dock, Gan Qishan was already waiting there. The packed items had been loaded onto the oxcart. The three were quite surprised to see the two of them driving the oxcart back. Gan Qishan even laughed and said, "It seems that we won't need my oxcart anymore."
Ganli quickly replied, "No, that's not it. We felt that one oxcart wasn't enough before, but now that we have an extra one, we can use one to haul goods and the other to carry passengers."
Gan Qishan was initially somewhat disappointed, since if Gan Li stopped using the oxcart, it would mean one less source of income each month. But now that Gan Li said she still needed it, he was overjoyed.
When they got home, Old Man Gan and his wife were completely baffled when they saw the oxcart.
"Why did you suddenly decide to buy a cow? It's not farming season now, what's the point of buying a cow?" Old Gan asked in surprise.
Old Mrs. Gan, however, felt sorry for the money: "Such a big cow must have cost several taels of silver, right?"
Gan Li patted the cow's back with a smile, her lips curving upwards, and said, "It did cost quite a bit, but I'll earn it back soon! I'll also reveal the secret recipe for the master this time!"
