Riding on the donkey, Yue Jiuyue looked at the four hundred taels of silver she had just received and was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to the back of her head.
The problem is that she can't top up her account with silver. Otherwise, she would have over four hundred taels of silver to buy water. Even if it wasn't enough, it would have been enough to fill South Lake halfway.
Having successfully taken the first step, Yue Jiuyue felt a little relieved. Next, she would see if there were any items in the county town that were relatively cheap in ancient times but quite valuable in modern times.
Yue Jiuyue patted the donkey under its rear end, trying to urge it to speed up.
Unfortunately, the donkey didn't understand what Yue Jiuyue was trying to say. It continued to walk gracefully and slowly, occasionally nibbling on some wild grass by the roadside, and then happily braying "uh-ah-uh-ah".
Yue Jiuyue: ...
I heard donkey meat sandwiches are incredibly delicious!
Considering she needed the donkey to get to the county town, she decided not to return it.
Of course, she had nowhere to return the goods.
This donkey was the second one Yue Jiuyue bought from the mall. The donkey that pulled the cart before had also been bought by that family, and together with the wooden cart, it earned her another hundred taels of silver.
If it weren't for the slow travel by carriage, she wouldn't have ridden the donkey directly. She never expected that this donkey would be so stubborn, refusing to move when led and even backing away when hit, completely disobedient. Helpless, Yue Jiuyue could only let it go on its own, as long as it didn't go astray.
As for the third donkey she bought, she naturally led it by the hand to prevent it from running away.
The reason she rode donkey number two instead of number three was because she disliked donkey number two for being disobedient. When she rode donkey number three, donkey number two would completely let loose and act recklessly.
Running all over the mountains and fields, Yue Jiuyue, who was riding the No. 3 donkey, was almost dragged off her and fell to the ground.
Yue Jiuyue did consider putting it into her spatial storage, as the mall's spatial storage could store living creatures, although only those purchased from the mall.
But as soon as the little donkey was put in the space, it started braying "uh-ah-uh-ah" non-stop. Not only was it noisy, but Yue Jiuyue was also afraid that its irritability would make it sick, and then it wouldn't fetch a good price.
Therefore, in order not to waste her little bit of money, Yue Jiuyue chose to compromise.
"Mom, look! What is that thing? Why is it making such a strange noise? It's making 'ah ah ah' sounds."
A little girl digging for wild vegetables in the fields pointed to a donkey braying "uh-ah-uh-ah" on the distant official road and asked her mother.
"That's a donkey."
The mother looked up and glanced in the direction of the donkey before replying.
"Mother, what does a donkey do? Can people ride it like a horse? Can it pull a cart?"
The little girl had seen horses and cows, but she had never seen a donkey, which is why she was so curious.
"yes."
The woman answered her daughter's questions while digging for wild vegetables.
"That grandma is amazing! She can actually ride a donkey!"
The little girl looked at Yue Jiuyue on the donkey with admiration, thinking that Yue Jiuyue was a great hero, just like those people who could ride horses.
Woman: ...
Her daughter seems to have a slight problem with her eyesight.
She didn't know if that aunt was a hero or not, but she was quite envious of those two donkeys.
If it weren't for the drought, and the fact that the family's money had to be saved for a rainy day, she really wanted to go up and ask that auntie if she was selling the donkey.
