Yao Qingnian took a look outside the shop and found that it was basically restored according to the blueprint. The decoration would be completed in a few days, and the shop could almost be prepared for opening.

Now the milk issue has not been resolved yet, Yao Qingnian plans to go to the cattle and horse market to ask.

In ancient times, cattle were very important agricultural tools, and their status was extremely high! Therefore, people could not just slaughter cattle casually. In the village, most of the cattle were used for farming. As for dairy cows, Yao Qingnian had also inquired about them, but there were really none in the village.

But it doesn’t matter. I heard that there are a lot of knowledgeable people in the cattle and horse market. Maybe I can find suitable dairy cows there!

When we arrived at the cattle and horse market, we could hear all kinds of shouting.

Yao Qingnian came to the cattle and horse market and took a look around. Everyone looked at her clothes and appearance, but no one came forward until someone introduced her to someone else.

"Girl, would you like to buy some cows? The cows I have here are all strong and healthy. If you buy one, I guarantee you'll have plenty of power to plow the land."

Only a middle-aged cattle dealer came forward to greet her warmly, and did not look down on her because of her shabby clothes.

Yao Qingnian was actually quite pretty. She was in her early twenties, at the prime of her youth, like a budding flower, delicate and beautiful.

She had never done heavy farm work, her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as silk, and as smooth as white jade; her facial features were extremely delicate, with a straight nose, rosy lips, and eyes as clear and moving as autumn water. Perhaps because she always wore simple coarse cloth clothes, she was not noticeable in the crowd.

If someone observes carefully, they can easily find her stunning appearance hidden under her ordinary appearance, which makes people brighten their eyes and fall in love with her. However, Yao Qingnian herself does not seem to pay much attention to her own beauty.

"Boss, there's something wrong with your cow."

A burly man with thick eyebrows, square face and a strong build walked up to the cow and shouted to the cattle dealer.

"Hey, what's wrong with the cow?!"

The cattle dealer asked Yao Qingnian to just look around and he went over to see what was going on.

"Are you a sick cow? Look at yourself, you are spitting white bubbles and swaying here."

The man pointed at the cow's mouth and said, the cattle dealer looked towards the cow's mouth and saw that white bubbles were coming out of it.

"How could it be a sick cow? It was fine just now."

The cattle dealer had just fed the cows grass, and the cows were still in good spirits.

"It's a sick cow, boss. Please sell it to me at a lower price. It might die soon."

The cattle dealer didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Five taels of silver, I bought it at a loss."

The man made a direct offer and asked the cattle dealer to sell the cattle to him quickly.

"Five taels of silver? No, no!"

A cow costs at least twenty taels of silver, and five taels of silver is not even enough to cover the cost.

"If the cow really dies, you will lose all your money. While the cow is still alive, try to recover some of your losses. I'll give you five taels of silver!"

Just when the cattle dealer was in trouble.

Yao Qingnian stepped forward and asked: "You said this cow is sick, what is your basis?"

"Where did you come from, you little girl? Why are you meddling in other people's business? Get out of here. Boss, are you going to sell this cow or not?"

The man looked at Yao Qingnian who appeared and clenched his fists!

"Boss, do you see any other problems with your cow besides the white bubbles in its mouth?"

"Yes, my cow seemed fine just now, eating and drinking as usual. How could it suddenly become sick? It didn't look like there was anything wrong with it."

This is not the first day that the cattle dealer has been selling cattle.

"Uncle, look, there is a thin layer of white powder around the cow's mouth! This cow has obviously been tampered with. Someone deliberately drugged it so that it looks sick and can be bought at a low price."

"Whoever drugged it, then don't sell it. I won't buy a sick cow! Just wait for the cow to die and you'll lose all your money!"

When the man saw that he was exposed, he turned around and tried to run away.

"Catch him, this man is drugging cows!"

When the cattle dealers nearby heard that someone had drugged the cattle, they all ran out and worked together to catch the man who was trying to escape.

"You...what makes you say I drugged the cow?"

"Search him, there must be some unused medicine!"

The cattle dealers searched the man's body and found a bag of white powder.

"Well, he dared to come to our market and drug the cattle! Send him to the government and let them deal with him."

"Brother! Brother! Spare my life!!"

When the man saw that his secret was exposed, he quickly begged for mercy.

The cattle and horse market hated such sneaky people the most, so how could they let him go so easily? Several people worked together to send the man to the government.

"Thank you for today, girl. If it weren't for you, I would have sold the cow without thinking. Do you want to buy a cow? I promise to pick the best one for you!"

The cattle dealer thanked him profusely.

"Uncle, I don't buy cows. I want to ask if you know where to buy milk?"

"Girl, you've asked the right person. I'm the only one in the entire cattle and horse market that has milk."

"Really?!"

Yao Qingnian widened her eyes in surprise. She didn't expect that she really found it.

"How much do you want? Many people don't like the taste of cow's milk, so I only raise a few cows on the farm and supply them to wealthy families. They will buy some milk."

The cattle dealer nodded.

"The quantity has not been decided yet. It depends on the business situation. We can discuss whether to increase or decrease it later."

Yao Qingnian said after a little thought.

"Okay, no problem! I'll send it to you when you're sure."

The uncle selling the cattle readily agreed.

"My shop hasn't opened yet. I'll start delivering after it opens. I can pay you the deposit first."

Yao Qingnian negotiated the price of milk with the uncle selling the cows, paid the deposit and asked him to wait for his notification before starting delivery. Now that the milk issue was settled, all matters concerning the milk tea shop were arranged.

Remembering that he had promised Luo Erya to make shepherd's purse dumplings, Yao Qingnian bought some noodles and cut a piece of pork belly before returning to the village.

After returning home, Liu Shuyue took out the money she had earned from selling braised food in the village over the past few days.

"Qing Nian, this is the money I earned from selling braised food in the village these days. It's more than two taels! Keep it."

Liu Shuyue didn't expect that Yao Qingnian's braised food and green rice dumplings were so profitable. He made more than two taels of silver in just a few days. If he continued like this, he would make more than Huai Jin's hunting.

"Mom, you keep it. I sell more braised food in the city than this."

Yao Qingnian sold a sika deer today, and with the money left from buying the shop, he still had eight or nine hundred taels on him. Liu Shuyue was allowed to keep this small amount of change and buy whatever she wanted.

"Don't you have a shop in the city that you need to decorate? Do you have enough money?"

When Liu Shuyue thought about the shop she bought for several hundred taels of silver, she became worried about Yao Qingnian. She didn't know if she would have enough money left after spending such a large sum of money.

"Don't worry, mother, I have my own arrangements."

Yao Qingnian gave her a reassuring look.
