Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Ying thought of the cow and sheep she couldnt afford to raise and was happy to see this.

She then took a book and recorded the amount each family wanted to buy.

She even asked them to help advertise when they returned home, so those who wanted to buy meat would come to her.

She told them she would be sending the meat to them tomorrow.

After Gu Chengrui returned home, he looked at the people coming and going and asked around. After understanding their purpose here, he went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

After eating their fill, Gu Chengrui looked at a registration book and exclaimed, Good lord, all of them are crazy. The minimum orders are 10 pounds of beef and a tub of blood tofu.

They earned quite a hefty sum after selling the chilies and sweet potatoes last year. Theres still a month before the new year, so isnt it normal to eat some meat to celebrate?

Thats true; then lets butcher one more cow and two more sheep. Well send some to Doctor Luo, Constable Tian, the county magistrate, and the people at the restaurant.

Well also prepare some new years gifts.

Sure. How are things over there? If you are busy, Ill ask Brother Tian for help.

Were almost done. By the way, Im thinking of bringing some chili over. Too many people have recently been suffering from frostbite, and chili water can help relieve some of it.

Are they going to pay? Zhou Ying asked with a smile.

You little money-grubber. Gu Chengrui tapped her nose and continued, Yes, of course. After all, we spent money on them.

But Im afraid we wont be able to make any money from it.

Its fine. It would be lying around in our storage anyway. Its good to sell it now.

Okay, Ill take a truckload of it tomorrow.

After that, the two went to the inters.p.a.ce. Zhou Ying harvested another batch of sweet potatoes and planted the fields with wheat.

After Gu Chengrui finished ch.o.r.es in the gra.s.sy fields, he took out six sacks of chili.

The following day, the two of them parted ways after breakfast.

However, when Zhou Ying set off again this time, she brought Tian Jiaw.a.n.g with her and Er Zhuang.

After lunch, Zhou Ying returned to the village with five carriages when the sun was high in the sky.

Finally, they stopped under a big tree at the village entrance.

She gave candy to a few children who were running around the village playing hide-and-seek and asked them to help her summon the villagers.

After everyone had arrived, she led Tian Jiaw.a.n.g and the five coachmen and began to sell the meat according to the ordered amount.

When almost everyone got their orders, those who felt they had bought too little bought more when they saw that there was still a lot of meat.

Zhou Ying didnt stop them. At most, she would just need to get more meat tomorrow.

Once she gave the green light, the extra cow and two sheep were all sold, and in the end, there was not even a sliver of meat left.

Zhou Ying had no choice but to say to the coachmen, Everyone, when you return, tell Uncle Nian to slaughter another cow and two sheep. Send them here tomorrow morning.

Dont worry, mistress. Well be going back now.

Go. Be careful on the slippery roads.

After sending off the coachmen, Tian Jiaw.a.n.g said, Zhou Ying, can you leave me some lard before the new year? Theres no oil at home.

No problem, but I cant be sure how much well have left.

Its fine as long as we can cook something for the new year.

Thats not a problem,

After returning home, Zhou Ying counted the earnings. There were almost 200 taels of silver, coming from five cows and ten sheep. It was much more profitable than selling them as a whole.

When Gu Chengrui returned and discovered that all the meat had been sold out, he commented happily, Now, we dont have to eat meat secretly anymore.

Indeed. Ive prepared a hot pot with spicy soup tonight. Wash your hands, and well be eating soon. After Zhou Ying said that, she turned around and went to the kitchen.

After dinner, Gu Chengrui handed Zhou Ying 20 taels of silver and said, These are the silver from selling the chilies. A few prominent families in town bought chilies for seasoning, so I sold them at a slightly higher price than usual..
