The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

The couple had a fruitful trip today. Not only did they make some money, they also helped Yan Zhenbei to study and practice martial arts. Most importantly, they felt relieved knowing that their land would not be forcibly expropriated.

However, the locations of those plots of land in Beishan are closer to the Yan family than to the village. If some important person moves in in the future, I don’t know if it will cause unnecessary trouble.

But that's all in the future, and Chu Xiao didn't want to cause himself trouble. When the two passed by West Street, Chu Xiao pulled Yan Zhenshen into the jewelry shop they went to last time.

Before, when I had no money, I only bought silk flowers for my mother and third sister. But now that I have money, I have to buy some of the beautiful jewelry for my mother and third sister.

As soon as Chu Xiao and Yan Zhenshen stepped into the jewelry shop, the clerk who had served them before came to greet them attentively. These two were really taken advantage of.

Chu Xiao went straight to the shelf where the hairpins were displayed and asked the waiter, "Which one is suitable for a twelve-year-old girl?"

"It's not suitable for a little girl who hasn't passed the imperial examination to wear a hairpin. It's better to buy this kind of five-claw tassel, which can be pinned directly on the bun." The waiter quickly took the item from the shelf next to him and handed it to Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao thought that the tassel was indeed very beautiful, and it had five claws pinned to the hair so it would not fall off even if he ran and jumped.

"How much is this?" This thing is neither gold nor silver. It's okay to wear it as a novelty. If it's expensive, he might as well buy some hairpins for his third sister and wait for her to wear them when she grows up.

"Thirty cents a pair." The waiter said, "Don't be fooled by the small size of the flowers, they are made of the finest silk fabrics. The tassels are not only made of colored threads, but the wooden beads underneath are also polished one by one."

Chu Xiao nodded, "Then take a pair, and a hairpin that women wear, something more elegant."

The guy continued to introduce things to him happily, thinking that he could make some money today by meeting this sucker. He never expected that Chu Xiao would actually lower the price this time.

Although the pressure was not particularly severe, it was just "too expensive", "cheaper", "can you make it cheaper?"

Zhao Guizhi learned these words from those people who bargained for lower prices when she was selling vegetables. She didn't learn the essence of it, so she just bargained down the price of a pair of five-clawed tassels, and finally only paid one or two or three cents of silver for the silver hairpin.

Chu Xiao looked at the small box in his hand, shaking it back and forth. After a long while, he said sullenly, "This guy is just bullying me because I can't bargain. I will definitely give him a lower price next time."

Yan Zhenshen chuckled softly and put his arm around the young man's waist, "Well, it must work. If not, let's go to another one."

Chu Xiao was happy that he had someone to share the same hatred for the enemy with. He stood on tiptoes and kissed Yan Zhenshen on the corner of his mouth.

Yan Zhenshen was quite shy in public, but his husband took the initiative to kiss him, so how could a man like him be shy first? He ignored the expressions of others who were watching the fun, and walked forward calmly holding her husband's hand.

When the two men walked out of the city gate, they saw many tents set up not far outside the city gate, and many cattle, sheep, and even a few horses were tied in front of the tents.

Chu Xiao was a little confused. When was this tent set up? He didn't see it when he entered the city.

Places with a lot of livestock naturally smell bad, especially since it is summer now. If the manure is not cleaned up in time, insects and flies will buzz everywhere.

Chu Xiao covered his nose with his hand and pulled Yan Zhenshen to get away from the disaster area as quickly as possible.

"Hey, do you two want to buy some cattle and sheep? They are all brought from the border." A bearded man shouted when he saw someone passing by.

To be honest, cows are very important here. They can be used as a means of transportation and can also be used to plow the fields. Not only are they very capable, but they only eat grass and not grains. Every family with a little more money will buy one.

The Yan family naturally had some before, but they sold their house and land eight years ago, so the cows were naturally sold early on as well. Without land, there was naturally no need to raise cattle, and they couldn't afford them before.

But now the family has land, and there may be more in the future. It would also be convenient to have an ox cart to go to the city to sell the game.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiao stopped running away, but he didn't put down his hand that was covering his nose. He asked uncertainly, "Are these for sale?"

"Yes." The bearded man said proudly, "Two months ago, General Zunyuan defeated the Horqin clan and collected 5,000 war horses and countless cattle and sheep. Because there were too many to send directly to Kyoto, he sold some along the way."

Chu Xiao took a rough look and saw that there were fifty or sixty cows alone, not to mention the sheep, which were even more in number. But neither cows nor sheep could be bought casually, after all, the price was there.

In addition to wanting to eat mutton, the people who buy sheep also have a pregnant girl in their family who has no milk after giving birth, so they buy a good-lactic ewe to feed the baby.

In addition, the morning market in the county town had already ended, so it could be said that no one was interested in this place.

"How much is it?" Chu Xiao just asked casually. He didn't know much about the prices here, so he just asked for reference. Now he just wanted to make money to build a big house, but when his family had more land in the future, he would definitely buy one.

"The cattle on this grassland are strong and sturdy. A mature cow that is three to five years old weighs thirty taels, and those that are over five years old weigh twenty-five taels." The bearded man said as he patted a nearby cow.

Chu Xiao's mouth twitched. This cow was too expensive. He couldn't afford it for his big house.

The bearded man knew at a glance that they didn't want to buy, but he hadn't sold a single cow today. After he called out to them for a long time, only these two stopped to take a look. Helplessly, he pointed to a cow lying on the ground.

"Why don't you buy a calf? It only costs 12 taels. After raising it for two years, it can be used to plow the fields and pull carts."

Chu Xiao stood on tiptoe to look inside, and only then did he see that there was indeed a calf next to the cow, lying on the side of the cow and seemed to be still drinking milk.

"Hasn't been weaned yet?" Yan Zhenshen frowned, "I'm afraid we can't keep the cow alive without it."

The bearded man seemed a little embarrassed and said, "How about you buy the cow and I'll give you the calf as well. Just pay twenty-eight taels."

The cow itself was less than five years old, but they didn't notice that one of them had a calf before they set out. By the time they found out, it had already walked a hundred miles, so it was impossible to send the cow back.

Normally, cows with calves should be easy to sell, but the cow gave birth before it could be sold just as it arrived at the first selling point.

There is a huge difference between carrying a calf and a newly born cow. Who knows if the calf can be raised after being taken back? They can't just throw it away if no one buys it, so they have to carry the calf all the way.

This cow did not rest after giving birth and did not look very energetic, so naturally no one was willing to buy it.

"Twenty-five taels." Chu Xiao might have been feeling dissatisfied because he hadn't been able to get a lower price for the silver hairpin, so as soon as the other party made an offer, he subconsciously wanted to bargain, completely forgetting that he hadn't intended to buy a cow in the first place.

"Okay, twenty-five taels." The bearded man agreed without any hesitation.

Chu Xiao was dumbfounded. What did he just say and do?
