"How many lambs can these be exchanged for?"
The man selling sheep grinned, "You want to exchange them all? You won't leave any food for the family? Your wife will be furious."
Jiang Nian shook his head. There was no shortage of food at home, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to say that.
"Everything has been changed."
Lambs were not worth much, so even in times of disaster, every household would still raise dozens of them, otherwise they would have nothing to eat. For them, food was still difficult to exchange for.

He could only wait for them in this inn. It would take them at least five or six days to go back and forth, and Jiang Nian didn't dare to go far for fear of missing them.
The waiter was grinning so hard that his mouth almost twisted. This customer had a big appetite and could eat as much as five people.
Anyway, the waiter would leave him a message, so Jiang Nian went to the market every morning to wait.
