Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

The shopkeepers in front picked out the fat sheep, so naturally they all paid for them happily.

Xiao Lan looked at the last few sheep left, and then looked at the last shopkeeper. He was a little unwilling in his heart, but he still paid the silver depressedly, turned around and left with the remaining four sheep.

Most shopkeepers who buy live sheep buy them with the intention of keeping them alive for a while longer. As long as the sheep is alive, they can keep it forever, and whenever they want to eat mutton, they can kill it and eat it right away.

Those who came to Xiaolan to buy sheep included not only the restaurant owner, but also the housekeepers of wealthy families. The wealthy families must have farms. The sheep this time were from the grasslands, with tender and juicy meat. Such sheep were rare in Liaodong Prefecture, so many people came to buy them. No matter when the master, mistress, young lady, or young master wanted to eat mutton, they would kill the mutton and the master would be happy. Naturally, the servants would get rewards.

Xiao Lan counted the 975 taels of silver notes she had received, and then took out the 450 taels from yesterday, a total of 1,425 taels. Seeing that the sun was about to set, she remembered that they were so busy that they didn't even have time to eat lunch. Xiao Lan said to Hu Yidao and Dajiang and Xiaohe in a good mood, "Let's go, I'll treat you today, let's go have a good meal."

Dajiang said hesitantly, "Miss, we still have four sheep here. Someone has to watch them. I'm afraid they will be stolen." Although Dajiang and Xiaohe have been with Xiaolan for a short time, they have already regarded themselves as Xiaolan's servants. They can now make plans for Xiaolan. Especially last night, they not only saw a group of soldiers coming to their home, but the leader of the soldiers also talked and laughed with Miss Xiaolan, and when they left, they moved a big insect from the carriage. At this time, the two brothers finally knew why Miss Xiaolan didn't let them move the hay on the carriage. It turned out that there was a big insect hidden under the hay.

This series of shocks has made the two brothers determined to follow the young master in the future. Although they have not yet succeeded in selling themselves, they believe that with Miss Xiaolan's ability, it is only a matter of time for her to cross the social class. Following her, they will sooner or later become successful.

Today, the two brothers took the opportunity to sell sheep and asked Hu Yidao. They learned that the big tiger was killed by the little girl, and they were impressed by the little girl's courage. They didn't know that Hu Yidao was afraid that the two brothers would have ulterior motives, so he deliberately said that the big tiger was killed by Xiaolan, just to warn them.

Xiao Lan was very pleased that Da Jiang had volunteered to look after the sheep. She smiled and said, "Don't bother me. I'll pay the landlord to look after them for a while. I'm sure he won't be unhappy."

Xiao Lan gave the landlord thirty coins and asked him to take care of the four sheep left at home. Xiao Lan planned to give two of these sheep to General Shen and keep two for herself.

The landlord was very happy, not only because he was happy about making money. There were no secrets in the village. When Shen Liu and his group came last night, they made such a big noise, so the landlord naturally knew about it. He originally thought that this tenant had offended some soldiers, and he was terrified that he might not be able to escape the charge of harboring someone. Who would have thought that such a young girl actually knew this official, who was not only here to arrest the criminal, but just came to reminisce with the little girl. This really shocked him.

Therefore, he was especially polite to the little girl and her group today. Although they were dressed simply, they were not only wealthy, but also knew officials. How could he not be very careful in treating such people? This really proved the saying that a true person does not show his true colors. Fortunately, he was a decent person and did not have any bad intentions towards them.

So when Xiao Lan gave him money and asked him to look after the sheep for a while, he gladly accepted it and repeatedly assured that not a single sheep would be missing.

The three of them got on the carriage and stopped at a stall selling soup noodles at the city gate. "Let's eat here. I originally wanted to take you into the city to eat something good, but then I thought that if we enter the city, the city gate will probably be closed after we eat, and we won't be able to get out tonight."

"Miss, these meals are already very good." Xiao He said.

For the two brothers, having a full meal every day was like a god. They could go out with Xiao Lan tonight to eat some soup noodles, which was something they had never dared to think about before. A beggar who passed by the door of a business would either be shouted at or driven away by a broom. Now they could eat a hot meal at the stall, and they were so excited that they even shed tears.

Xiao Lan looked at the brothers' strange behavior but didn't say anything. After all, some emotions need to be digested by oneself. She just patted them on the shoulders and silently comforted them.

"You two should follow Miss Xiaolan. It's your good fortune that you met her in Quanshui Town and were brought back to Liaodong Prefecture." Hu Yidao looked at the two brothers and said earnestly, "Don't cry. Men don't cry easily. Don't cry away your good fortune."

These words made Xiaolan couldn't help laughing, and Dajiang and Xiaohe also burst into laughter.

"Girl, let's buy some fodder after we finish our meal." Dajiang said, thinking of the four sheep temporarily stored at the landlord's place, "These sheep are so expensive, we can't let them starve."

Xiao Lan thought for a while and said, "We can just buy fodder from the landlord. Farmers have plenty of hay. Besides, we have to stay here for another night. If we let the landlord earn more, he will probably be more attentive to us."

"Uncle Hu, take two sheep to the Shen family tomorrow and give them to Shen Ada, and tell him that I am honoring Sixth Master with them. There is no need to say anything else. Shen Ada and He Mingyu both followed us to Quanshui Town. I'm afraid they have already told Sixth Master the origins of these sheep." Xiao Lan thought for a moment and then lowered her voice and said, "When we go back later, I will give you all the money I earned this time. You can prepare some things in the next few days. I will take Dajiang and Xiaohe back to Shengjia Village first to give the two sheep back. It's a good opportunity to take the two brothers to meet their family members."

Hu Yidao wanted to go back to Shengjia Village with Xiaolan. He was worried about the little girl going on the road alone. But thinking of the little girl's toughness, and looking at the two brothers sitting next to him, he finally nodded. Time waits for no one. It was almost time to go to Xingyuan Prefecture in the north. If he went back to Shengjia Village with Xiaolan, the money he earned this time would not be enough to make up for the cloth, tea and other items he exchanged in the north. When he came back from the north, he would probably be sick to death thinking about the fact that he had lost a lot of money this time.
