Chapter 273： Sanquan County

When all this was done, the stomachs of the three of them started to growl, and then Mu Yangling brought the gray pheasants from the fire, and plucked the mud lumps down one by one, and the feathers were gone. When it sticks to you, it is pulled out together, and the aroma is fragrant. When Mu Yangling peeled the whole pheasant and put it into the pot brought by Xiuhong, even she couldn't help drooling when she looked at this fragrant pheasant.

Mu Yangling grabbed a chicken leg and pulled it out gently, and the dry goods inside were also exposed. She gave Bo Wen and Xiuhong a chicken leg and said, "If you don't have rice, go and warm up the cake. Eat as soon as it's hot."

Bowen and Xiuhong couldn't help but start eating, so Mu Yangling had to go to the bag to warm up the cakes that Shu Wanniang had baked for them. The three of them ate the pheasant cleanly and ate five more. cake, only the dry food in the belly of the pheasant is left in the pot and no one eats it.

Xiuhong and Bowen already hugged their stomachs and shouted, "I'm so full, so full."

Mu Yangling touched the stomachs of the two of them and turned around to set the fire for the sheep. When everyone had finished digesting their food, Mu Yangling patted them and said, "Go in and sleep."

The quilts on the ground were a little warm, and it was very comfortable to lie in. Xiuhong and Bowen took off their quilts and squeezed in the quilt one by one.

Xiuhong slept outside, and Mu Yangling was in the same bed with her. Her bow and arrow were placed by her hand, and there was a dagger. She did not untie it. She opened her eyes and listened to the movement around her. Close your eyes.

That night, Mu Yangling got up three times to add firewood to the fire, but the fire never went out, and the temperature around them never dropped.

Early in the morning, after she got up, she added a few handfuls of rice to the pot and put it on the fire with the dry goods to boil.

When Xiuhong and Bowen opened their eyes and woke up, they realized that it was already bright outside, and Mu Yangling had already fed the sheep with hay. Seeing them wake up, he said, "Awake? There is hot water in the kettle, hurry up. After washing our faces, we left after eating the porridge. We should be able to reach the county seat of Sanquan County at noon, and we will stay there for a day to see if we can sell some."

Sanquan County is the county seat under the jurisdiction of Xingyuan House. It belongs to the fortress that communicates the north and the south, so it is still prosperous. Naturally, Mu Yangling and the others cannot just drive a flock of sheep into the city. If the sheep accidentally damage or soil other people's things , that is really not enough to sell them.

So Mu Yangling found a family in the village outside the city and rented it for only 30 cents a day.

There are many merchants who rent houses in the village because they can’t enter the city in time, but there are no people like Mu Yangling who can’t enter the city with a group of live sheep, so the villagers are very curious to watch them.

Mu Yangling drove the sheep into the fence and said to Xiuhong and Bo Wen, "You guys pack up and follow me into the city."

"Sister, do our sheep stay here?"

"Pay the landlord to take care of them." Otherwise, only the two children, Xiuhong and Bowen, will be left here. I'm afraid they won't be able to keep these sheep. It's better to hand them over to the landlord. Above, there are precedents for this.

Xiuhong felt that her cousin might be trying to frighten the villagers, so after driving them out, she went into the fence and grabbed a sheep with one hand and easily carried the sheep out.

The villagers were stunned, and then clicked their tongues, this sheep must weigh more than 100 pounds, not to mention that the sheep is still struggling.

Mu Yangling has one hand and one hand, and it is effortless. Even if there was any thought among the onlookers, it is completely gone now.

Sure enough, what is said on the rivers and lakes is right, walking in the rivers and lakes, single children and women and the elderly are the least to be provoked.

Because walking in the rivers and lakes is inherently dangerous, these three people dare to walk alone in the rivers and lakes, which shows that they are not only capable, but also cruel.

Mu Yangling and the others are not very old in three grades. The boy is probably only about six or seven years old, and he is not timid in the face of so many of them, so it can be seen that he is not easy to mess with.

Mu Yangling found the landlord and directly took out a hundred copper plates for him, saying: "There are two hundred and ninety-eight sheep in it, you can count them, they will expire before the sun goes down at night, if I don't come back to you then You don't have to watch it for me."

The landlady was already counting sheep with her son. She nodded to the head of the house halfway. The landlady put away the hundred and handed over a piece of paper, filling in the number with two hundred and ninety-eight. He would not be able to write the next words, scratching his head in a hurry.

Mu Yangling took the pen in his hand, filled in "only sheep", and then signed his name, "You look at it right."

The landlord bowed and said, "Oh, girl, where can I read, wait, I'll find someone to show it."

These documents were written in advance by the literate people in the village. If they were asked to see their luggage, they only needed to fill in the number.

The landlord asked someone who could read to read it, and nodded: "No problem, just draw the letter."

The landlord just made a pledge, and Mu Yangling shared a share.

Mu Yangling picked up the two bound sheep and entered the city. She was going to find a market, but she didn't have time to drive the sheep into the city leisurely.

Mu Yangling first put the sheep in the corner, then went to the vegetable market to find a stall to buy pork, and asked, "Master, do you have mutton?"

The butcher who sold pork raised his head and glanced at Mu Yangling, then shook his head and said, "It's sold out in the morning, you're only here now, it's long gone."

"Lamb meat sells so well?"

"It's alright, Sanquan County has little mutton, and it's winter, everyone loves to eat mutton."

"Then how much is a pound of mutton here?"

"Look what kind of mutton you bought. The goat is forty-three cents a pound this morning, and the grassland sheep is fifty cents a catty."

"Can this mutton be sold for one a day?"

"One price a day is not enough, but now the weather is getting colder and colder, everyone likes to make soup with mutton.

"It's nothing, thank you uncle." The first thing Mu Yangling went out of the vegetable market was the mutton restaurant in the city. The owner there looked at Mu Yangling's sheep and heard that it was a grassland sheep raised by Hanzhong Prefecture. He said at once: "Girl, make a price."

"It depends on whether you are talking about weights or pounds."

"On how to sell only, on how to sell Jin"

"On the catty, twenty-eight cents per catty, weighed raw, weighed when slaughtered, forty cents a catty, in terms of only, no matter how big or small, it is equal to three taels."

The boss pondered: "It's a bit more expensive."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "Now the grassland sheep sell for fifty cents a pound outside, and it will only get more and more expensive every year. Boss, even if you cooperate with the butcher, it will definitely not be as cheap as mine. But they came here all the way from Hanzhong Mansion, and it took three days to walk on the light road."
