After signing the contract, Mei Mei and Mei You felt refreshed.
After leaving the store, Meiberry couldn't help but take another look at the deed that guaranteed her family's future food and clothing.
Meiberry found out the name of the owner who signed the contract with them through the deed -
Wang Beigu.
After reading the deed, Meiberry carefully put it into the space under the cover of her satchel.
Mei Bei was still thinking about her thousand kilograms of grain. The two waited at the city gate until Mei Youqian appeared again. Mei You took the initiative to give in and said that she would go elsewhere to look. The rest of the time was left for Mei Bei and Mei You. Post Qian.
After Meiberry met her father, she couldn't wait to go to the small courtyard their family rented temporarily. Meiberry collected all the food piled in the courtyard into the space.
After collecting it, Meiberry felt completely relaxed, and the father and daughter told each other what had happened before.
When he heard that the soap business could make a lot of money, Mei Youqian's eyes widened instantly. While feeling surprised and sighing, he remembered what Mei Pei had said about Lin Shoucai, and said, "Ah, looking at his smiling and wealthy appearance, he turns out to be the shopkeeper. ?”
"Yeah, the key is that every time you call him boss, he still responds."
"Hey, what's the point? Ordinary people don't understand this, and they won't correct you if they call you wrong. Who is willing to listen to the shopkeeper when someone can call him boss?"
Mei Youqian could understand the other person's thoughts very well. After talking about this topic, Mei Youqian changed the subject and said: "I just saw a lot of excitement at the dock. They said that many sheep were transported from the north and sold alive!"
"Huh?! Selling sheep?"
Mei Mei was also surprised. The town usually only sells chickens, ducks, hares and the like, but very few large livestock such as sheep.
There won't be any sales for at least these two days.
"Yes, it's so fresh! Many people have gone to join in the fun."
What Mei Youqian said was nothing more than that his family was going to join in the fun.
"Let's buy some things first and then we'll go take a look."
Meiberry didn't want to join in the fun, but her father was just the opposite, so Meiberry could only think of a compromise - staggering the peak flow of people.
Mayberry's approach proved to be a good one.
After they bought a lot of things, when they came to the place selling sheep again, there were already a lot of people around.
Mei Berry noticed at a glance that Mei You was standing among them, looking at the sheep in front of her, and seemed to want to buy them.
Meiberry and his father also came forward. Someone happened to be passing by, and they heard the two talking:
"Are you crazy? A cashmere sheep costs fifteen taels of silver? When I bought the best local sheep last fall, it only cost less than eighty taels."
"Who says it's not the case? Although this sheep brought from Hanzhou looks quite big, how much wool does it take up? I guess the meaty areas are much less than our local sheep."
After hearing what they said, Meiberry looked at these sheep carefully. The hair on their bodies was quite long and thick, a bit like sheep, and they could deserve the title of "cashmere sheep".
"Sister, are you coming to see the sheep too?" Mei You came close to Mei You. Mei You, who was picking sheep by herself, heard the noise and glanced at Mei Bei's bulging satchel and the backpack on her second uncle's body, and nodded slightly.
"Well, after slaughtering it in winter, the meat will be edible, and even the sheepskin is a good thing."
Meiyou also felt a little moved when she mentioned the sheepskin plumberry.
The family had bought muslin cloth twice before.
Once in a cloth shop in the town.
The price of a small piece is five or six times that of linen and Gebu, almost as much as silk.
Once I was with a salesman who went to the village to sell goods.
Although the price was a bit cheaper, when I took it home, Wei Meili discovered that the cotton fabric had some flaws. It may have been caused by being left out for a long time. Not only did it fade, but it also became moldy.
Later, after a long time, Meiberry and his family discovered that the fine cotton cloth they bought was so expensive, mainly because these cotton cloths were not produced by Dacheng itself, and some foreign businessmen came to sell them every year.
No one in the country currently grows cotton.
Therefore, Mei Berry had to find a way to complete the branch line check-in given by the system, even if there was no punishment for failure.
That's cotton, the kind with seeds!
Meiberry stared at the sheep that looked like clouds, and then recalled that when her family discovered that there was no cotton in the country, they were still wondering what was in the quilt at home.
At that time, their family quickly remembered that the quilt at this time was mixed with some animal fur, catkins, and crushed hay.
It was quite disgusting for her mother at that time.
Fortunately, the weather was getting hot, so her mother turned the burlap that Widow Chen had made some time ago into a summer blanket to cover her body.
Two days ago, she was talking to her dad about collecting some leather. When the weather gets cold, it would be good to make it into clothes or quilts.
Now, isn't this ready-made?
What Mei You said was not only heard by Mei Pei, but also by Mei Youqian.
Seeing that Mei Youqian's family seemed to want to buy it, Mei You asked Mei Youqian how many heads he wanted to buy, hoping that Mei Youqian would come forward and the two of them would go back and buy them together.
Along the way, Mei You said she wanted to help pick the sheep and said she had experience.
Mei Youqian had no objection to this request, because his family had no experience.
The two families happened to add up together, so they bought three sheep at a time. After confirming, Mei You and Mei Youqian went to pay money to pick sheep.
Buying sheep was just a temporary pleasure, but after buying the sheep, the three of them began to worry.
Because the ship they took earlier did not allow such medium and large livestock to be brought on board.
In this matter, Mei Youqian could only go to the dock to inquire about the passenger ship carrying the cargo.
Meiberry and Meiyou took six cashmere sheep and found a shade tree beside the pier. They bought some food and drink and rested there.
Meiyou took another look at the bamboo basket at Meiberry's house next to her. Seeing that it was full, she couldn't help but wonder what Meiberry had bought in such a short period of time.
"What did you buy?"
"Vegetable seeds, and some food. Oh! We bought some braised food. I originally thought that no one here eats braised food. But my dad and I found out the last time we came to the county. There is a home in the county that makes braised food. For meat, they also have braised sesame water and pig trotters~
And the price is a little cheaper than braised pork, but people are not very willing to buy it. Mainly because the shop owner likes it~ so he makes it. If it sells, he sells it. If it doesn't sell, he eats it himself. "
News like this is basically a trick that Mei Qiang and her father were tricked into buying things.
"Sister, today my dad bought four braised pig trotters, two pig ears and some pig head meat. Do you want it? I'll share some with you~"
When Meiberry buys things, she usually won't put them in the space if she can consume them all in the near future.
She pointed at the oil-soaked paper bags in her backpack and looked at Mei You.
Seeing that Mei Berry was not really polite to her, Mei You pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Yeah, just some pig head meat."
I thought Meiyou would ask for pig's feet, but ended up getting only pig's head meat.
If Mei Bei asked the reason, Mei You would definitely tell Mei Bei that if you saw those mutated wild boars in the end of the world using those mutated and iron-wrapped pig feet to kick a zombie in the head every day, you would want to eat those things!
Similar ones won’t work either!
Meiberry handed the oil-paper bag holding part of the pig's head meat to Meiyou, and Meiyou put the pig's head meat into a satchel similar to the one Meiberry was carrying.
Unlike Mayberry's bag, which was almost stretched into a ball shape, her bag still had plenty of space.
"Sister, you didn't just buy a sheep today, did you?"
Meiyou: "Yeah."
Mayberry: "??"
What a terrible amount of willpower?
The conversation between the two suddenly ended when Meiyou didn't buy anything. Meibei always felt uncomfortable, so she pulled out a few dusty lumps from her basket.
"Sister, what do you think this is?"
"Taro?" Mei You recognized the few dusty lumps of soil in Mei Berry's hand immediately.
"Yes!" Mei Berry was also very happy at this moment, "My dad and I bought it from the market together, and they shipped it from the south!"
When Meiberry mentioned taro, she thought of taro-roasted meat, and then sighed: "Unfortunately, I still haven't seen potatoes or sweet potatoes."
Speaking of several high-yielding crops of later generations, except for corn, we really haven’t seen any others here.
"By the way, there's also cotton!"
Recalling her thoughts when she was looking at the cashmere sheep, Mei Mei mentioned to Mei You that there was no cotton cultivation in most parts of the country.
When Meiyou said this, the expression on Meiyou's face suddenly became strange.
It was obvious that Mei Qian had not noticed this before.
Previously, Mei You only thought that the quilt was filled with old cotton wool, so it was hard and stiff when she slept.
Now according to what Mei Bei said, Mei You suddenly turned his head and looked at the three sheep he had just bought.
The cashmere sheep that were grazing silently suddenly trembled all over...
Meiyou: What I’m looking at is not a sheep, but a quilt!
