Sister Han is good at farming

After leaving the Yan family, Ruan Qingqing weighed the heavy silver in her hand with mixed feelings.

I didn't expect that in ancient times, she actually used her hobby to earn money to support her family. She shook her head with a wry smile and continued to walk home.

At this time, Chi Jingxiao, the son of Chi the hunter, came towards him.

The boy was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a pair of dimples on his face. It was still a bit cold in February, but he was only wearing a short top and a leather armor with only one sleeve. I don't know what he was doing, but he was sweating profusely.

When he first saw Ruan Qingqing, he was stunned for a while.

"Brother Chi, you're back from hunting!" Ruan Qingqing greeted him with a smile.

"Ah."

He responded dully, then looked up at his door.

"Do you have something to do with us?"

Ruan Qingqing shook her head and said, "I came here to talk to Aunt Yan about something."

The boy pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he just said "oh" softly.

Ruan Qingqing smiled at him and hurried home.

At home, everyone felt bad when they heard her say that she didn't borrow the milk, especially what Third Grandma said made everyone feel even more depressed.

Ruan Qingqing made the excuse of being tired and went back to her room, where she quietly hid the thirty taels of silver she had on her in a safe place.

At this moment, she no longer dared to give the silver to Wang for safekeeping.

After a short rest, she put on the bamboo basket and walked towards the town.

On the way, we met Old Man Xue who was driving a ox cart back home.

"Daya from Ruan Lao Si's family, where are you going?"

Unlike previous times when he wanted to run faster when he saw her, this time Old Man Xue specially stopped the ox cart and asked Ruan Qingqing.

"Grandpa Xue, I'm going to the town to find a dairy cow or sheep. My little brothers and sisters at home have nothing to eat and are crying with hunger."

Ruan Qingqing did not hide it. Suddenly her eyes lit up. "Grandpa Xue, could you please help me choose one? I am not familiar with buying cattle and sheep."

Old man Xue sighed, "Come on up! What do you know about buying livestock? Don't waste money. I'll go with you!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Xue!" Ruan Qingqing was also worried about this before. Now that the knowledgeable old man Xue is willing to help, it’s great.

On the way, Old Man Xue gave Ruan Qingqing some tips on choosing cattle and sheep.

"The milk produced by cows or sheep has a very strong smell. Will your newborn twin brothers and sisters drink it?" Old Man Xue finally asked Ruan Qingqing worriedly.

"I'll see if I can find a way to get rid of the fishy smell then. No matter what, I have to find a way to get them to eat something." Ruan Qingqing said helplessly.

"We need to find a way to get them to eat, otherwise they won't grow. I just don't know if there are any dairy cows or sheep for sale right now."

Old man Xue was also unsure.

When they arrived in the town, they asked several places, but they all said there were no milk-producing cows or sheep for sale.

Ruan Qingqing was very depressed. Was she really going to watch the two little guys starve to death?

"Don't be discouraged! I have already informed those companies selling cattle and sheep. Please inform us as soon as they have any news." Old man Xue advised.

"I'm just worried that my younger brother and sister can't hold on. Grandpa Xue, besides this place, do you know who else nearby has ewes or cows?" Ruan Qingqing was a little unwilling and wanted to fight for it again.

Old man Xue shook his head.

Finally, Ruan Qingqing had no choice but to say goodbye to Old Man Xue and go to Bao'antang to get some herbal remedies for Wang to take to nourish her body and increase lactation.

While the medicine boy was getting the medicine, Ruan Qingqing asked Doctor Li, "Doctor Li, you often see patients and know a lot of news. Do you know anyone nearby who has a cow or sheep that can produce milk?"

Doctor Li was stunned. "Do you want to feed your newborn brother or sister with cow's or goat's milk?"

"Well, we have to feed them something." Ruan Qingqing suppressed her anxiety and said calmly.

"Cow's milk and goat's milk are very good for newborns. They are easy to digest and absorb. If there is no breast milk, this is a good solution." Doctor Li nodded while stroking his beard.

"Xiao Shunzi, do you know where there are cows or sheep that produce milk?" Doctor Li asked the boy who was dispensing medicine.

"Doctor Li, you've asked the right person. Uncle Luo next door to me just had three ewes give birth last month."

When Ruan Qingqing heard this, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Young man, where is your home? No, where is your uncle Luo's home? I want to buy a milk-producing ewe." Ruan Qingqing asked hurriedly.

"My home is in Caotouling. You can go to Caotouling and ask for the Luo family who raises sheep. My uncle Luo's home is easy to find!"

"Thank you, little brother!"

Ruan Qingqing walked out of the clinic and headed towards Caotouling without stopping.

The Uncle Luo mentioned by Luo Shun is named Luo Tian. Because he specializes in raising sheep, everyone jokingly calls him Luo Yangtou.

"The old Luo family that raises sheep? Oh, you mean Luo Yangtou from our village! If you walk along this road to the end, the one with a big shed on the left is his home. Little girl, what are you looking for Luo Yangtou for? He may be out herding sheep and hasn't come back yet!"

After the person who asked Ruan Qingqing for directions gave her directions, he couldn't help but remind her.

"Thank you grandma for telling me. My family wants to buy a milk-producing ewe, so they sent me out to ask." Ruan Qingqing said half-truthfully.

"If you want to buy milk-producing ewes, you really have to go to Luo Yangtou. He has a lot of sheep and ewes, so you have a lot of room to choose from!"

Ruan Qingqing nodded, "That's right!"

After chatting for a while, Ruan Qingqing walked towards Luo Tian's house.

Coincidentally, Luo Tian stayed at home and did not go out to herd the sheep because another ewe was about to give birth.

Luo Tian is an old man in his fifties. Because of herding sheep, he has to go out in wind and rain, so his skin is tanned and the wrinkles on his forehead are even more numerous.

After understanding Ruan Qingqing's purpose, Luo Tian was silent for a moment.

"I didn't intend to sell the ewe, because these lambs are waiting for milk. Since you need goat milk to save your life, I will give you one. But let me make it clear to you, you can't just buy a ewe, you have to buy a lamb, otherwise my lamb will starve to death."

Ruan Qingqing nodded in understanding, "Grandpa Luo, how much are your ewes and lambs?"

"Two taels of silver for the ewe, and half a tael for the lamb! Don't worry, I'm not a rip-off. This ewe is one year old and in great shape! It's her first time giving birth to a lamb, so she has plenty of milk."

Ruan Qingqing went to the sheepfold to check on the sheep that Luo Tian had designated. Following what Old Man Xue had taught her, she checked the ewes and lambs one by one, and when she saw that there was nothing wrong with the sheep, she agreed.

At the same time, she asked Luo Tian for advice on the precautions of raising sheep. Luo Tian did not hide anything and pointed out the key points to her one by one.

So before dark, Ruan Qingqing drove the two sheep home. The sudden appearance of two sheep, one big and one small, in the house shocked everyone.
