Dogs can guard the house, so it's not surprising if someone in the house falls ill.
Cats can catch mice, but most people buy cats as pets for their wives and daughters to keep them entertained. For example, in TV dramas, a young lady's cat goes crazy and hurts someone, or a concubine's cat scratches a favored concubine, and so on.
Therefore, cats are not something ordinary people keep, at least not in this era. They are like gold-plated objects, and they never come cheap. Moreover, they are not usually found here. Who wouldn't send them to a wealthy and powerful family? Not only can they sell them for more money, but they can also get in touch with the stewards of those wealthy and powerful families. How many people would be willing to do that!
Yue Jiuyue bought it without saying a word.
She also loves furry little animals, but she used to struggle to support herself. Occasionally, when she encountered a stray cat or dog on the roadside, she would stop and take a second look.
Now that she has money and land, she can afford to raise dozens or even hundreds of cats and dogs, let alone just a few. The dogs can help her guard the house, and the cats can scare away mice from stealing food. They are all good pets that are both cute and capable. She can never have too many!
The money was exchanged for the goods, and the deal was done. The owner packed up and left. Yue Jiuyue was so happy that she forgot she had been drooling over roast duck and goose. She was too busy playing with the cat to pay attention to the food.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Yue Jiuyue said seriously to Xiaoman'er:
“Little girl, these two cats are mine. You can only feed them and play with them.”
She was afraid that Xiaoman would think she bought it for Xiaoman, since Xiaoman had reminded her and then bought it without saying a word.
But she bought the cat, so the ownership must belong to her. She wouldn't give up her own preferences just because Xiaoman'er is a child; she's not that generous.
"Oh, I see, Grandma. So, when the cat has kittens, can you give me one?"
Xiaoman'er wasn't upset by this, nor did she mistakenly believe that Yue Jiuyue bought it for her. After all, with the dog as a precedent, Xiaoman'er immediately made her own request.
"OK!"
Yue Jiuyue had no reason to refuse. Just because she could afford to raise hundreds of cats didn't mean she wanted to raise hundreds of cats.
"Thank you, Grandma!"
Little Man smiled happily. She would be the second person in the family to have a kitten, and the eldest would at most be the third!
Yue Jiuyue moved the little girl's chubby face and heard the ducklings and geese quacking. Only then did she remember that she had originally come to buy ducks and geese.
"Boss, how much are these ducks and geese?"
The owner of the chicken, duck, and goose shop: (＊?◇?)
They're like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered! They're about to make a fortune!
"Ducklings cost twenty coins each, and goslings cost thirty coins each."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuyue glared at him angrily and retorted:
"How can you be so rip-off? Twenty coins for a single duckling! That's more expensive than a full-grown duck! No wonder you can't sell them!"
Captain Ma! Captain Ma! Come here for a second! There's a rip-off selling ducklings here! One duckling costs twenty coins! One gosling costs thirty coins!
Just then, Yue Jiuyue saw Lin Chaonan and his group of four coming out of the horse market. She quickly waved to the head constable, wanting to take advantage of the situation to teach this opportunistic and shady boss a lesson.
