She had an idea in her mind. If the milk tea business could be successful in the future, she could discuss with the owner to see if she could buy the restaurant. At worst, she could just keep the waiter.

"Yes, my cousin is really kind. If this restaurant could go bankrupt, he wouldn't let others leave. My cousin gave them some money before they left." The waiter leaned against the counter and sighed.

The two chatted for a while, and the shopkeeper just finished delivering the milk and came in through the gate.

"Hey, the guest is still here!" The shopkeeper first glanced at the waiter, then shifted his gaze to Shen Wanning.

"Uncle, this girl said she wants to discuss a business deal with you, so she is waiting for you here!" the waiter explained immediately.

"I see. May I know your name, young lady?" the shopkeeper came over and asked with a bow.

Shen Wanning took a look at him and saw that he looked like someone who had been educated. "My last name is Shen, so just call me Miss Shen."

When you come to ancient times, you must abide by the local rules and not reveal your maiden name to outsiders at will.

"Miss Shen, my name is Yang Yu. I wonder what business you want to discuss with me?" Shopkeeper Yang asked the waiter to bring some water, while he sat on the other side of the table.

There were no visitors to their restaurant, so sitting in the lobby was no different from sitting inside. Besides, Shen Wanning was a woman, so sitting outside was also for her reputation's sake.

"I just heard from the waiter that your sister married in Daliang. I wonder if I can buy a few dairy cows from her?" Shen Wanning said directly without any greetings.

"This... you can buy it. My brother-in-law's family used to do this business. But it will take nearly half a month for my letter to be sent, plus it will take more than half a month to transport the dairy cows." The shopkeeper thought for a moment and replied.

"It doesn't matter. As long as this deal can be done, it doesn't hurt to wait a while." There's no rush anyway.

"It shouldn't be a problem, but judging by the girl's attire, she's not married yet. Could she be the head of the household?"

"Of course, if this is settled, the contract is signed, and it's filed with the government, I can pay half the deposit in advance. The balance will be paid after I receive the cows. What do you think, boss?"

Shopkeeper Yang nodded. "Since Miss Shen is the one who makes the decision, then I will accept it. But how many cows does Miss Shen want?"

Shen Wanning looked at the information shared by netizens. During peak production, dairy cows can produce 50 kilograms of milk a day, which can generally last for about three months. During normal times, they can generally produce 10 to 40 kilograms.

She wasn't sure how much milk tea she could sell in a day, so she asked netizens for their opinions and finally decided to buy five cows: four females and one bull for breeding.

"Let's buy five first: four cows and one bull. How much silver will that cost?"

Shopkeeper Yang replied without hesitation, "A cow is fifty taels, a bull is twenty taels, and the five cows together make a total of two hundred and twenty taels."

Shopkeeper Yang stared at Shen Wanning. These two hundred and twenty taels were a considerable expense, and he wasn't even sure whether Shen Wanning could come up with the money.

Shen Wanning acted nonchalant, as if he was talking about a few cents. "No problem. If it's confirmed, we can sign the contract today."

"Miss Shen is straightforward, no less than a man! How about I wait for you to sort out the paperwork and then go to the county government office to register it?" Shopkeeper Yang was equally straightforward.

Last year his sister helped transport the cows here, and this time he was finally able to do something to help his sister, which made him feel a little more at ease.

"Okay, no problem." Shen Wanning nodded.

While Manager Yang was writing the contract, she took a look at the beans in the live broadcast room. After not withdrawing cash for such a long time, she had accumulated more than 1.3 million beans, which could be exchanged for 1,300 taels!

You won’t know until you see it, it’s shocking! She has reached the pinnacle of her life just by live streaming.

Shen Wanning cashed out one thousand taels of silver into silver notes, and the remaining three hundred taels of silver into silver ingots.

After Manager Yang finished writing the contract, she carefully read every word to confirm that there were no mistakes. She did not hesitate to put her fingerprint on it.

As expected, she was not mistaken. This Shopkeeper Yang was indeed a scholar, which could be seen from the way he bowed just now.

The two then went to the county yamen to file the document, where the yamen staff made two copies, one for each of the three parties, each with their fingerprints and the official seal.

Shen Wanning put the contract into her sleeve and handed half of the silver, which was one hundred and ten taels, to Manager Yang, and finally felt relieved.

On the way back, Shen Wanning thought for a moment and asked, "Shopkeeper Yang, I wonder if your milk is still for sale?"

Shopkeeper Yang tilted his head to look at her. "Sell it, of course. My son doesn't like milk. He hasn't drunk it since the cow was given to him. My wife doesn't like it either. She always says it has a strong smell and is hard to swallow."

Shen Wanning was delighted. "Then can you sell me Shopkeeper Yang's milk? I can settle the bill with Shopkeeper Yang when my cow arrives, or I can pay him in advance."

"This... to be honest, apart from the bowl of milk delivered to the county magistrate's mansion every day, the rest is basically thrown away and wasted. If Miss Shen likes it, I can sell it to her at a low price."

"I wonder how much this cow produces every day now?"

"It's about 30 kilograms a day, and it may slowly drop in the future."

Shen Wanning nodded. "How about I rent Manager Yang's cow for a month or two, and then return it to Manager Yang when my cow comes back?"

"Originally it is possible, but now the young lady of County Magistrate He's family wants me to deliver a bowl of milk to her every day. This is probably difficult to do! Oh!" Shopkeeper Yang sighed, caught in a dilemma.

How could he be willing to give up such a great opportunity to make money just because he was afraid of offending the county magistrate's daughter?

Shen Wanning noticed his hesitation and said with a smile, "Ever since I entered the city, I've heard that the newly appointed County Magistrate He is a good official. Could it be that this County Magistrate He is also going to abuse his power to oppress others?

So, if the county magistrate sends someone to get the milk again, just tell me the truth. Don't worry, if the county magistrate blames me, all the blame will be on me, and I will never let Manager Yang go."

Firstly, if County Magistrate He was a good official who worked for the people, she would do her best to help him help the refugees. If the milk tea business was viable, she planned to hire villagers to grow tea.

In addition to growing tea, raising dairy cows, milking, and making taro balls, tapioca pearls, and red beans later on all require a large number of people. At this time, these refugees can be used.

If County Magistrate He wasn't a good official, she could bribe him with silver to get the man out. But that would be unfair to Shopkeeper Yang, so she could only compensate him later.

This was also done to test the county magistrate and understand what kind of person he was so that it would be beneficial to her development in Qinghe County.

After all, for them, the county magistrate is the highest official in the country.
