Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

This was the first time Hu Yidao saw Xiaolan's big operation, and he was naturally shocked. He himself was a conservative person, but he also knew that Xiaolan had an extraordinary talent for business. It was precisely because of Xiaolan's courage that her family was able to become rich so quickly.

Xiao Lan smiled and said to Hu Yidao, "Uncle Hu, don't worry. My farm is so big, it's no problem to raise these sheep inside. The Chinese New Year is just a few months away. We have more pork than mutton. When the time comes, these sheep will be sold and will definitely be a big hit. We won't have any trouble selling them."

"But these sheep still need to eat grass. So many sheep consume a lot every day." Hu Yidao expressed his concerns.

"Uncle Hu, don't worry. If there is no hay cart for the sheep, we will kill them and make bacon," Xiao Lan said while swallowing her saliva. "It tastes better than fresh mutton."

Hu Yidao thought to himself that Miss Xiaolan was indeed a person who could accomplish great things. Her decision to buy the sheep was definitely not something she came up with on a whim, but she was able to come up with so many solutions in just a few days. I really don't know what's wrong with her brain.

Of course Xiao Lan didn't know about Hu Yidao's criticism. Even if she knew, she could only sigh. It was not that she was so smart, but that she was not from this era. Therefore, her ideas transcended the limitations of the ancients' imagination. These ideas have been verified in China for 5,000 years and have all been successful. Therefore, her trial and error rate is so low, and she dares to make a desperate bet.

On the day of departure, He Ming and Shen Ada were stunned when they saw Xiao Lan and Hu Yidao driving the sheep out.

"Little God of Wealth, it seems you have made a big deal... But how are you going to carry so many sheep back..."

Xiao Lan and Hu Yidao were busy tying the sheep while they answered, "Don't worry, we will just be slower on our way back. Just treat it as a way to get used to the difficulties you will encounter on your way back from Xingyuan Prefecture. As long as we can successfully drive the sheep back this time, we can buy as much as we want when we get to Xingyuan Prefecture."

He Mingyu and Shen Ada were stunned by what Xiao Lan said, thinking that Xiao Lan not only had a business mind, but also had a good tongue. So they could not complain about helping her herd sheep this time, but also had to use their best skills to help her do it well. After all, she said that this was for their own good, so that they could adapt to the future caravan in advance, because he wanted to introduce foals from Dajin.

He Mingyu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you need our help now?"

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. After all, Shen Liu used some tricks to get the girl to think of ways to make money. The girl lived up to everyone's expectations and really came up with a way to sell southern goods in the north and northern goods in the south. The girl now pointed out that asking them to help herd sheep was to train them and let them adapt to business life in advance. Even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they must not show it, after all, it was for their own good. He Mingyu thought to himself, the dumb swallowing coptis, that was them.

"We need help, we need it so much." Xiao Lan raised her head from the flock and said to He Ming and the others, "Let me show you how to tie ten sheep together with a rope. This way, the sheep can't run away even if they want to. They can only follow the head sheep."

Regardless of the little girl's thoughts, her intelligence alone was enough to impress He Mingyu, Shen Ada and the others. Strength lies in numbers, and the sheep were soon tied up.

Hu Yidao drove the carriage, and once they got on the main road, there was no need for Xiaolan to herd the sheep. Xiaolan jumped onto the shaft of the carriage, and all she had to do was watch the sheep from a distance to make sure they didn't get lost.

He Ming and Jian walked slowly along the way. They looked at the fallen leaves on both sides. Seeing that the surrounding scenery was the same, they suddenly felt a little bored. He rode his horse to Xiao Lan's side and asked, "Miss Xiao Lan, where are we going to sleep tonight?"

"Sleeping in the wild." Xiao Lan planned the return route before setting off. With their current speed and so many sheep to look after, sleeping overnight is the best option.

He Mingyu and Shen Ada were surprised for a moment when they heard Xiaolan say that they would stay overnight, and then they returned to normal. They had followed Shen Liu in many battles and were used to living outdoors. They were surprised that Xiaolan could talk about staying overnight so casually. If other kids said this, they might have sneered, but since it was a little girl, they were only surprised for a moment, and then they returned to normal.

Herding sheep is not without its ups and downs. When encountering a fork in the road, the head sheep leads the flock forward. If they run in the right direction, it's fine. If they run in the wrong direction, Xiao Lan needs to drive the head sheep to the correct path. The sudden interruption of the walking route will cause chaos in the orderly flock, but it will only cause chaos for a while. Once the sheep run smoothly, order will be restored.

"Fortunately, we are the only ones on this road. If there were other people's carriages, they would definitely have objections." Xiao Lan sighed as she looked at the sheep that had filled the road.

Hu Yidao nodded in agreement.

Before the sun went down, Xiao Lan looked around for a place to stay. Because it was late autumn and the wind was strong at night, she didn't dare to stay in the open space because there was no shelter and people could not stand it and it was easy to catch a cold. Finally, she chose a forest by the road, drove the sheep into the forest, counted the number of sheep with Hu Yidao, and then tied them to the tree.

Hu Yidao took the knife and went to cut grass. Of course, He Ming and his men also went to help. Xiao Lan took out a bow and arrow from the carriage and waved to Shen Ada, saying, "Master Shen, let's go around and see if we can hunt some game." Then he turned to He Ming and his men and said, "After you feed the sheep, remember to pick up more firewood. It's cold at night and we need to warm ourselves and cook."

Before the sun went down, Xiao Lan felt cold. She had already put on the jacket that Zhang brought her. She was grateful to Zhang. Zhang was not as good as her in making money, but as a mother, she was qualified. If nothing else, the bag she insisted on letting her daughter carry was enough to prove that she was a good mother who loved her children.

When He Mingyu heard Xiao Lan arrange work for them, saying that she was going to go hunting with Shen Ada, he muttered in a low voice, "We've bought so many sheep, we can just kill one and eat the meat, why bother with so much trouble?"

However, he didn't dare say this in front of Xiaolan, so Xiaolan couldn't hear him.

Xiao Lan actually packed some dry food from Quanshui Town, but how could these foods be as fresh as the game? Moreover, autumn was the season when game was plump and delicious. She was kept at home by Zhang and could not go hunting. Now that she was outside, she could not help but feel itchy.
