The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

That's true, both of them are capable; you can't fool an ordinary person.

Zhao looked at her daughter with pride. She was really capable now. Not to mention anything else, she had never been to the county town, let alone seen a mule.

She said she'd go, and she said she'd buy, and she said she'd buy. Can Cui Hehua compare to that kind of boldness? Wang Defa was blind too, mistaking a weed for a treasure.

Knowing they were going to the county town, Zhao got up before dawn to make breakfast. She also had a few eggs at home, so she boiled them all and wrapped them up for the two children to eat on the way.

"Tiezhu, after breakfast, go chop firewood with Gou Dan. We'll have lunch at your brother-in-law's house."

"Where's Dad?"

"I left him two steamed buns. He can make do with some hot water."

"I'm going now. Remember to wake your father up and have him chop wood."

"Know it!"

When Zhao arrived, they had just finished packing. Today, they were going to walk to town to deliver the goods, and then find a vehicle to go to the county town. The cart would be stored in the backyard of the restaurant for a day. No one knew about buying the cart except for the family and Zhao.

"Mother, we're leaving now."

"and many more!"

Zhao handed the eggs from her arms to Fang Xiaoning, saying, "Eat these if you get hungry on the road!"

"Thank you, mother."

Su watched from the side, secretly annoyed that she hadn't thought of bringing them something to eat on the way!

“Mother, the village chief and the others brought firewood over today. Remember to tell them that we buy hawthorn berries, not rotten or unripe ones. We pay one coin per pound.”

"understood."

"Mom, have Dad go to Grandma's house at noon and tell them that there are two big mountains in their village too."

"okay!"

With just one sentence, poor Fang Youcai's afternoon nap was ruined.

"Take it easy on your journey, and don't rush after dark. If you can't make it back in time, just stay at the inn for the night."

"understood!"

"Carefully inspect the mules before buying, ask many questions to avoid being ripped off, and be careful not to buy any that are sick."

"Okay, Mom, come inside. Don't go home yet, okay? We're not back yet!"

When she comes back, I'll teach my mother how to make rice crust.

"got it!"

After delivering the goods, the shopkeeper, knowing they were going to the county town, not only told them to leave their cart in the backyard, but also recommended a reliable driver to take them there.

I heard that this coachman is good at judging mules, so the shopkeeper asked him to help him learn to judge them.

It takes about an hour to get from the town to the county seat by mule cart, which isn't far.

Qinghe County.

Fang Xiaoning looked at the flow of people. This place was much bigger than the town, with many more people, better houses, and wider roads. The road surface was even made of bluestone, so your feet wouldn't get dirty when it rained.

The county town is indeed incomparable to a small town! Then what about the prefectural city? How prosperous must it be? Fang Xiaoning was somewhat looking forward to it.

"This is the street where livestock are sold. Let's go down and take a look."

"Okay, Master, you've had a hard journey."

The driver waved his hand, "What's so hard about it? It's not like he's giving directions for free; he earns money."

"Master, how much does an adult mule cost approximately?"

"I estimate it to be around 13 taels."

"I'll need your help to take a look later."

"Easy to say!"

The livestock market was bustling with people, selling cattle, donkeys, mules, big ones, small ones... As Fang Xiaoning walked in, she couldn't help but frown; the smell was really strong.

"Sir, would you like to see the calves? They'll be ready to work in the fields in two or three years."

The skinny little calf stared blankly into its two large, bell-like eyes, looking both pitiful and adorable.

The group continued onward, encountering countless people trying to strike up conversations along the way; the vendors of this era were surprisingly enthusiastic.

"What do you think of this mule?"

The driver stopped in front of a vendor and stared at the mule behind him.

Fang Xiaoning couldn't understand anything else, but he thought the mule looked very strong and its fur was very smooth.

"Sir, take a look. This mule is only four years old, just the right age to be of use. Look how well it's grown and how strong it is."

The driver stepped forward and examined the mule thoroughly, not even sparing its teeth. The mule seller, seeing this, knew he was an expert.

"How much is it?" After walking around, this one caught his eye. It was indeed a good animal. He nodded to Song Feng.

"I can tell you're knowledgeable, and you know my mule is good. How about this, I won't ask for a price, just 15 taels, how about that?"

Fang Xiaoning: ...They treat them like pigs to be slaughtered!

"Ten taels, if you sell, we'll take it away immediately."

If you don't act like a human being, then I don't need to act like one either.

The mule seller looked at Fang Xiaoning as if she were an idiot. This young lady, is she not quite right in the head?

"How's it going, boss?"

What do you think? He doesn't think so.
