With Huang Banxian's matter behind them, Yue Jiuyue and the others finished their steamed buns and bought Xiaoman'er her favorite snacks. Since the family didn't need to buy anything else, they strolled slowly out of the county town, preparing to buy a horse-drawn carriage.
Horses are different from oxen. Oxen can pull carts or plows, but horses can only be used to pull carriages. Or family members can learn to ride horses, which is a very useful skill. It's quite useful for escaping or something, and it's much faster and more agile than running on two legs.
Choosing horses was a task none of the family knew how to do, but luckily they brought the Lin brothers, Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei, along today. After all, they had become quite familiar with the county yamen runners when they came to the county town to sell sweet potato seedlings, and that came in handy now.
"Brother, quickly help us take a look, which of these horses is the best?"
Lin Chaobei was the most active, and immediately went to the city gate to pull over a squad leader who was guarding the city to help keep an eye on things.
"Of course, of course!"
The squad leader agreed readily and immediately took Lin Chaobei to select horses.
Yue Jiuyue also wanted to go and listen, hoping to broaden her horizons, but Xiaoman'er was afraid of horses and pulled her away, preventing her from going over. She kept pulling her towards the chickens, ducks, and geese. Yue Jiuyue saw that there were ducklings and goslings for sale there, which was quite rare at this time of year, so Yue Jiuyue simply took Xiaoman'er over.
Roast duck and roast goose, as well as salted duck eggs and salted goose eggs, are very tempting. At least, when Yue Jiuyue saw ducks and white geese, she thought of these two most common ways of eating them.
As for frying duck and goose eggs, Yue Jiuyue hadn't thought about it. After all, chicken eggs were already fishy enough, and duck and goose eggs would only be fishier.
After all, she wasn't very knowledgeable, so if she wanted to know more ways to cook chickens, ducks, geese, and their eggs, she could only search for what other people were selling in online stores.
What Yue Jiuyue looked forward to most was that the mall would sell books, preferably books about cooking. She only knew a few common recipes, and if she wanted to eat delicious food, she would have to learn more.
Secondly, there are books about farming. After all, she's now a landlady with over 600 acres of land, so she has to be better at farming than others.
"Grandma, look, what's that?"
Little Man pointed to a stall selling chickens, ducks, and geese. There were two orange cats in a wooden cage. Little Man had never seen cats before, so she was particularly surprised.
Of course, Xiaoman'er had never seen ducks or geese before; her attention was completely captured by the two cats, and she couldn't see any other small animals.
"That's a kitten."
Yue Jiuyue offered an explanation, then took Xiaoman'er's hand and walked towards the stall.
"Boss, how much are these two cats?"
Boss: (＠￣ー￣＠)
cat?
Fine, a cat it is. But only wealthy people can afford to keep a cat, and the price isn't low.
"One hundred coins each, no bargaining!"
The stall owner, without blinking, quoted an astonishing price, drawing frequent glances from those nearby who wanted to see what it was that the owner could command such a high price.
After reading it, everyone fell silent.
Some didn't recognize it, others thought it was a tiger cub, and still others recognized it. Some, upon hearing Yue Jiuyue's question, knew it was a cat, and none of them thought the price was too high.
Cats, then this price isn't really high. After all, who would keep one if they didn't have the money?
