The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub

"How can it not be that serious? Our village is fine, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. My mother's family and my sister-in-law's family have already died of heatstroke!"

The aunt who was speaking sighed, "This weather, if it gets any hotter, what will happen!"

We chatted along the way and soon arrived at the town. Probably because of the weather, the town looked much more desolate.

Most of the aunts wanted to see the ox cart market, and the rest did not object, so Yunli took people straight to the ox market.

It was still the same boss as before. When he saw Yunli, he smiled particularly warmly, "Oh, it's so hot, why did you come here in person, girl?" He fanned Yunli and her group with a large palm-leaf fan, and ordered the waiter to pour tea.

"Come sit in the shade for a while. If you want to buy anything, just tell me and I'll have someone bring it to you."

Yunli felt a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, these aunts in my family want to see the price of cattle."

"Okay, okay! Girl, you know, the weather is not right now. The water in several villages has dried up. The price of rice has skyrocketed, and the price of meat has also increased."

The boss paused and raised three fingers, "Originally it was doubled."

Three times! It was six taels before, now it has to be eighteen taels?

"Eighteen taels?" The aunts exclaimed in unison.

"But..." the boss added hastily, whetting everyone's appetite again, "The girl is a regular customer of our store, and we can't be completely unfriendly. So, if you sisters have a favorite cow, I'll make a deal and give you a discount, ten taels of silver per cow, and you can take it away directly! Sisters also know how much meat costs now, and ten taels of silver really doesn't make any money. We're just doing a business to make back our capital."

Ten taels.

Twice as expensive as before.

However, considering the soaring prices of various commodities in the town now, ten taels of silver is indeed a fair price.

The aunts originally thought that the seller would ask for an exorbitant price and that they would not be able to get it for less than fifteen taels of silver. However, when they heard that it was such a good deal, the three aunts, including Aunt Fang, made a prompt decision and agreed immediately.

The boss was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear and asked his staff to bring over some strong cows for everyone to choose from.

Snakes and rats have their own ways. The boss of this bull market had actually heard rumors of drought a long time ago.

The water level had already been shallowed a month ago, but they were a big family, and if they didn't sell the hundreds of cows, just feeding them water would be a huge problem.

People can hardly drink the water, so where is the extra water to feed the cows?

It was not realistic to slaughter all the cattle. The meat yield of a cow was only 30% to 40%, and 200 to 300 kilograms of meat could only be sold for a dozen taels of silver. Moreover, where could there be such a large market? In such a hot day, if the meat could not be finished in one meal, it would go bad.

Therefore, over the past month, the boss has been asking high prices and selling low prices, trying to sell out most of the cattle as soon as possible so that he can run away early.

This town is too remote to stay in!

I don’t know if it’s natural for humans to like shopping in groups, but after Aunt Fang and the other two paid the money, the other aunts also made up their minds to buy a cow each.

Seven or eight aunts chattered and asked the boss to give them a lower price. The boss was happy and agreed to give each family 800 copper coins for the cost price of a carriage. If they wanted to add a carriage, they would add 200 coins.

Yunli couldn't help but secretly gasp in amazement. This guy was indeed a businessman. He dismantled a carriage and sold it in small pieces. He sold it at the original price under the guise of selling it cheaply, and the aunts were still grateful to him.

It is impossible to expose the truth. It would spoil the fun of the aunts and offend the boss.

But in terms of shamelessness, she is still not as good as others!

More to learn!

After some bargaining, everyone was happy.

Yunli also asked for a car and asked the boss to modify it for her before sending it to her.

Business was busy today, and the aunts had never learned how to drive a cart, so the boss waved his hand and agreed to assign a few of his men to help drive the ox carts to deliver the things to them after they had bought them.

You can also teach them how to drive along the way.

The aunts were so happy that they were grinning from ear to ear. After saying goodbye to Yunli, they dispersed to buy what they needed for their families.

The boss was a very considerate person. He knew that Yunli often came to buy milk before, so he prepared a bucket and sent it over. "It's just a small token of my appreciation. It's not worth mentioning. It's all thanks to you that we were able to do such a big business today!"

"Boss, you are so generous!" Yunli accepted the milk without hesitation, "Boss, do you have any extra milk? To be honest, I came here to buy this milk today."

"There are still some, but not many."

He now has only five milk-producing cows left. Excluding the milk to be given to regular customers, he only has about 20 kilograms left every day, which is enough to fill four buckets.

"If you want, there are two more buckets. If that's not enough, I'll send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow after the milk is squeezed out."

"Thank you so much, boss!" Yunli felt relieved, knowing that the food supply for the two little ones at home was secure.

There were only two buckets of milk left in the space, and Yunli was worried that it wouldn’t be enough.

There is milk powder in the space. If there is no milk, rice soup will do.

But Jin Suan and Yin Zun are beasts after all, and beasts should have their own diet rules. Only by drinking pure milk and eating pure meat can they grow up well and be healthy.

Modern technological foods with various elements added to them are more suitable for her mouth.

She is not afraid of poison.

A true warrior dares to face any delicacy rich in additives.

It’s better for her good golden cup and good silver cup to enjoy the milk with a fishy smell.

It’s just right that the milk powder can be left for her to drink herself.

Yunli felt so miserable that he cried.

As an ancient person with poor cooking skills, she cherishes every bite of modern food in the space.

"Sister, are we going to buy anything else?"

Yun Fan asked after leaving the bull market.

"Well, I need to buy some barrels."

Yunli thought about it carefully. She had enough food at home, and she had already bought clothes. She even bought a bunch of straw mats. The only thing she lacked was drink.

Today, the boss of Niu Shi said that the water level in other villages had begun to drop a month ago, reflecting the fact of a comprehensive drought.

The matter of fleeing famine is basically settled.

Water resources are scarce and they may not be able to find water along the way, so carrying water with them is almost inevitable.

Then you need a tool to carry water.

Crocks or water jars are not very practical. First, they are big, heavy and take up space. Second, they are precious and will break if touched. It is better to use a wooden barrel, which is light and strong. It is unlikely to break even if it falls a few times. It is also more convenient to carry.

When taking water and using it, even if others are interested in checking, they cannot find out the specific water storage capacity of their own home.

You will also need to buy some wooden bowls.

It is common to have bumps and bruises on the road. Instead of eating with a broken porcelain bowl, it is better to eat with a normal wooden bowl.
