The dogs at the market seemed to cost a hundred wen each, and the better-looking ones could even go for two or three hundred wen, so Wen Ziyu was essentially getting a half-price discount. She had just looked at some wolfhounds, and the ones she had chosen were two yellow and three pure black, the black ones being the most wolf-like.
She was also the one who loved them the most. Seeing the unsatisfied look on her face, Wen Ziyu wondered if she thought they were too expensive. Then he said, "Thirty cents each. They're only a month old, so they'll need to be fed some millet porridge or goat's milk."
Tong Wenyao shook her head. "That's not a reasonable price. Since we said fifty wen each, let's make it fifty wen each." She took two strings from the brocade pouch and counted out the fifty wen. When she placed the money in his hand, Tong Wenyao's fingertips accidentally touched his fingers, and she quickly withdrew them.
After Wen Ziyu took the money, he didn't put down his hand. When Tong Wen Yao touched his fingers just now, it was like a light butterfly floating on his fingers.
After paying the money, Tong Wen Yao finished the water in the cup. When she closed the lid, she put a piece of silver into it to make up for the difference in price for the puppy.
Uncle Fu saw this and couldn't help but sigh. No wonder the Tong family allowed her to go out and make money at such a young age. It would take several years to learn to be so mature.
He said enthusiastically, "Then I will help you send these puppies to the workshop." Tong Wen Yao didn't dare to hold the dogs for fear of being chased by the big dogs. Uncle Fu was different. Uncle Fu was familiar with dogs, and the big dogs and small dogs were also familiar with him, so they were willing to be held by Uncle Fu.
She had just returned to the workshop when Dong Ge and another young man escorted the donkeys and cows to the workshop. "Ah Qiu, you take these three donkeys and three cows back to the shed. I'll take the remaining two to the mountains."
Ah Qiu trotted out, untied her rope, and led the cow and donkey to the stable. The remaining three horses went to the wooden stake.
"Thank you, Brother Dong and Brother Xiao. You must have been thirsty when you came here. There is tea in the room. Would you like to come in and have a cup?" Tong Wen Yao asked.
Dong Ge waved his hand and said, "No, we'll be rushing back to the city soon. We still have business to do in the afternoon."
Tong Wen Yao nodded and said, "In that case, Dong Ge and Xiao Ge, be careful when you go back." Dong Ge and Xiao Ge mounted their horses, waved to her, and then rushed towards the county town.
After lunch, Tong Wen Yao went to her aunt's room and gave her an acupuncture. Uncle Du watched over her and cleaned her up after she vomited.
Before she left, she called Uncle Du and said, "Uncle Du, I might be staying in the mountains for the next two days. When you have time, go and customize donkey carts and ox carts. They are both used to transport goods. When using donkeys and oxen, make sure they have time to rest. If you don't have enough money, ask me when I come back."
Tong Wenyao packed up the food, rode on the donkey, and wobbled into the mountains with a leash in her hand. The road became wider and wider as she got down the mountain. Today was the day to start the lime kiln, and she didn't know how the kiln was doing.
Before she even reached the mountain, the donkey refused to move and stayed where it was no matter what. It even tried to throw her off. Fortunately, she reacted in time and jumped down.
After she got down, she went to the front and pulled hard, but the donkey pulled her back with even greater force, refusing to move an even a step!
This really made her angry. The donkey was already stubborn before she even started working. She clenched her fists in anger and vowed to teach the donkey a lesson.
The donkey beside her laughed loudly, its mouth wide open. Tong Wenyao slapped the donkey next to her. After seeing that the donkey next to her stopped laughing, she turned her head to look at the donkey she had just ridden.
The donkey in front of her looked at her with disdain, its nostrils raised high, as if looking down on her. Tong Wen Yao did not tolerate it and simply hugged the donkey's neck with both hands, secretly thinking in her heart that she must lower its head.
When the donkey saw Tong Wenyao holding it, it jumped up and shook its head back and forth, trying to make her fall off. The hairpin fell off the donkey's hair, but Tong Wenyao didn't care and tried to climb onto the donkey again. In the previous apocalypse, when a zombie refused to obey her, she also rode on his shoulders and hit him hard on the head. In the end, the zombie was afraid of his head falling off, so he gave in and recognized her as the boss.
Therefore, Tong Wenyao believed that a beating would be enough for any unruly creature. Adhering to this philosophy, she tamed many small animals. She even beat Guaiguai twice, and when he was on the verge of death, she managed to tame him by relying on a burst of energy and strangling Guaiguai's vital points with her bloody hands.
She and the donkey confronted each other for a long time. One of them hugged the donkey's neck tightly, her hair and clothes became dirty. The other one roared madly, and the donkey's tongue was sticking out. Neither of them lowered their heads. This scene was seen by Wen Ziyu who had just entered the mountain. He tried hard to control the upward smile of his mouth and walked towards her.
"Miss Tong, what are you doing?" A clear and magnetic voice came from behind. Tong Wenyao, who was hugging her neck, felt her back stiffen. It was over! Her image was completely ruined!
She took several deep breaths to calm herself down, and finally turned around and said hello to Wen Ziyu, "Hi!"
Tong Wen Yao's current appearance can't be said to be as beautiful as a flower, but she looks extremely embarrassed, and she shows a face that looks like she wants to laugh but is crying to Wen Ziyu.
"Hmm?" Tong Wenyao saw that he only said "hmm" but didn't seem to be leaving yet, so she could only tell him the truth.
"The donkey I just bought is a little disobedient, and I'm trying to communicate with it ideologically." Although Wen Ziyu didn't know what ideological work was, he knew the general idea.
He asked tentatively, "How about letting me give it a try?" Hearing Wen Ziyu say to let him try, Tong Wen Yao let go of his hand and stepped aside.
Wen Ziyu walked to the stubborn donkey and pulled the reins. His temperament gradually changed from gentle to cold. The donkey had its nose looking up at first, until it noticed that the breath beside it suddenly dropped and a dangerous breath was coming. But the stubborn donkey was still a stubborn donkey. When it lowered its head, it still glared at Wen Ziyu angrily. Wen Ziyu did not tolerate it and glanced over directly. At that moment, even Tong Wenyao next to him could feel a flash of murderous intent.
The stubborn donkey was so frightened that his legs and feet went limp, and he half-knelt before Wen Ziyu. The man before him was too dangerous, with the menacing aura of a wild wolf. If anything went wrong, he would probably kill him with a single blow.
He reached out and touched the stubborn donkey's head, and said, "Listen carefully to Miss Tong and be a good and obedient donkey."
Wen Ziyu, who had regained his momentum, turned back into the gentle person he was before, "Miss Tong, hold the reins."
