Chapter 41
It was windy at night, and everyone gathered around the bonfire, barely resisting the cold.

The situation tonight is unusual, and two people are required to keep vigil, and the main defense is the group of people behind.

Tang Li just stood up, and Mu Rufeng's knife pointed at him.

He swallowed his saliva, and seemed to have made up his mind. He came over, "I want to say a few words to that sister, okay?"

In fact, he just wanted to change something to eat, but he felt that this team had the final say, so he decided to find her.

Hearing this, Wen Wan suddenly stopped and said to the two little guys, "You guys play first, I'll come when I go."

Tonight is Mu Rufeng and Li Daniu guarding the middle of the night, Wen Wan sat directly on the stone beside Mu Rufeng, and said to Tang Li, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to... exchange some food with you."

"In exchange for what?"

"There's only this." Tang Li took out a golden ingot from his arms.

Wen Wan's eyes lit up, and she asked the person beside her in a low voice, "Mu Rufeng, how much did he take?"

No wonder she didn't know anything, the main reason was that the times were different, the currency was unreasonable, and the original owner had never seen so much money. Naturally, she didn't know the value of a piece of gold in this era.

"20 taels, gold." The corners of Mu Rufeng's mouth raised slightly, this girl is really cute, frank and sincere.

"...What can I change?"

"Cow or horse, that's enough."

Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and said to Tang Li, "Your money is too little."

"This amount of money is more than enough for one of your cows." Tang Li said without hesitation.

"But these days, prices are so expensive." Wen Wan said disdainfully.

Zhao Si shouted: "I don't know what's good or bad, even if the price rises, one ingot of gold to buy a cow is enough!"

"Then find someone else to buy it." Wen Wan got up and left.

Mu Rufeng shook his head, this girl really knows how to take advantage of the situation.

Tang Li's face was a little embarrassed, he pouted, and turned his head to go back.

"Wait." Mu Rufeng stopped him.

Tang Li looked at him, unlike Wen Wan, obviously treating him as a nobody.

Mu Rufeng was not annoyed, and said calmly, "Young Master Tang, I think we can discuss it again."

"You can count?" There was a village chief earlier, but the village chief seemed to listen to the woman, and the person in front of him...

He is not optimistic.

Mu Rufeng always had an alienation on his face when facing outsiders, "I'm the team leader, and what I say is natural."

Tang Li frowned, "Didn't that elder sister say what she said?"

Mu Rufeng smiled lightly, with eyes like stars, "Listen to her when you fight, listen to me when you eat, what's the problem?"

"Then I want to use this to exchange cows with you, is it possible?" Since he can count on his words, let's talk to him directly.

"Enough, enough!"

As soon as Tang Li finished speaking, Liu Baozhen ran over and looked at the gold ingot in his hand, his eyes glowing.

"One ingot of gold is enough for a cow. Of course, this young man, how about that one?" Liu Baozhen pointed at the thinnest one.

The thinnest cow belonged to their Li family. Judging from the state, it was impossible to survive. Instead of letting everyone eat it, it would be better to exchange it for money and keep it in your pocket.

Tang Li looked at Liu Baozhen angrily, "Can your words count?"

"Naturally, that cow belongs to my family."

Mu Rufeng's face suddenly turned cold, "Auntie, I have nothing to do with you here."

"Why don't I have anything to do with me? I can't sell my cattle, either?"

Liu Baozhen was reluctant to give up such a good opportunity. If she sold the cattle of Li Dahu's family, the money would belong to someone else.

"Your family's cattle? What did you say when your Li family couldn't afford food?" With the Zhang family's affairs ahead, Mu Rufeng would not be so polite anymore.

At the beginning, it was agreed that others would gather food, and she Liu Baozhen gathered a cow for the Li family.

At that time, she also swore that from now on, the cow belonged to everyone, and if everyone couldn't get out, they would just slaughter the cow and eat it.

The Li family was not separated, there were two rooms, and they all pointed at the cow.

Speaking of which, this cow belongs to the old couple of the Li family, and has been taken care of by Li Daniu, and Liu Baozhen is not qualified to sell it.

Liu Baozhen looked a little embarrassed when she remembered what she said at the beginning. She just blamed herself for saying too much, and there was no room for manoeuvre.

Tang Li saw her expression in his eyes, and he naturally understood that her words were insignificant.

Therefore, he just looked at Mu Rufeng and waited for his words.

Liu Baozhen looked at Mu Rufeng with an eager expression, "Rufeng, this can be promised to him. We have arrived in Licheng, but we need to exchange food and salt. There is no money. How can we exchange it?"

Mu Rufeng glanced at her lightly, and instead of answering her, he looked at Tang Li, "We don't sell cattle, but we have a horse, so we can consider it."

Liu Baozhen's expression changed when she heard Mu Rufeng's talk of using a horse instead, but she didn't dare to interrupt.

In fact, Mu Rufeng thought so too. If he sold the cattle, the money would not be distributed well. Instead, it was Wen Wan. He felt that Wen Wan was easier to talk to.

Tang Li thought for a while, "A horse is fine too."

According to what the woman just wanted, his money was not enough to buy cattle. If he could buy horses, it would be a good idea. At any rate, he would be able to support them to Licheng.

Zhao Si whispered: "Boss, that horse is thin and not squeamish, and there is not much meat..."

"It's good to have something to eat." Tang Li didn't look at him directly.

Although Mu Rufeng intends to sell the horse, the horse was snatched by Wen Wan, so he still has to discuss it with her.

Wen Wan naturally agrees.

Mu Rufeng turned back, "Young Master Tang, there is still a little bit of gold."

Hearing this, Liu Baozhen was so anxious that she was afraid that the other party would go back on it, so she quickly persuaded Mu Rufeng.

Mu Rufeng glared at her, then turned to Tang Li and said, "How about that jade pendant on your waist?"

Tang Li was taken aback for a moment. Although his jade pendant was not particularly precious, it was still enough for three to five hundred taels of silver.

But that's all he's worth.

Seeing that he hesitated, Zhao Si jumped out again and said, "Boss, you can't change it! They are taking advantage of the fire!"

"Shut up!" Tang Li said angrily, "Little brother, this is all my net worth, you have to save me some water to buy water."

"In this way, an ingot of gold, a jade pendant, a horse and a bucket of water, what do you think?" Mu Rufeng made a concession.

Zhao Si was the first to disagree and shouted: "Boss! What else is there to change? Let's just grab it!"

The woman said that a piece of gold can be exchanged for a cow, and the boss even broke up with the man and paid an extra jade pendant!
It really pissed him off.

"Can you beat him?" Tang Li rolled his eyes at him, this idiot, just lost his face!
He looked at Mu Rufeng, "How big is the bucket?"

Mu Rufeng gave him a gesture, "A lot, save some drinks and let you go to Licheng."

"Deal!" Tang Li took off the jade pendant and threw it directly at Mu Rufeng, "I'll give you this first, and then I can give you the gold when you bring the water. Besides, I want to borrow a knife."

Mu Rufeng didn't hesitate, and threw the knife in his hand.

Mu Rufeng handed the jade pendant to Wen Wan, "I estimate this jade pendant is worth 500 taels of silver. Is it possible to exchange it for a bucket of water?"

 Mu Rufeng's broken thoughts:

  Getting rich, getting rich, I have grown up so big, and I have never owned such a large amount of money... uh, I have never dealt with...

  I have to hand over the money to my daughter-in-law...
