Chapter 113 Cashmere Sheep
After signing the contract, Mei Berry and Mei You felt refreshed.

After leaving the shop, Mei Berry still couldn't help but take another look at the deed that guarantees her family's food and clothing in the future.

Through the contract, Mei Berry found out the name of the owner who signed the contract with them——

Wang Beigu.

After reading the deed, Mei Berry carefully put it into the space under the cover of the satchel.

Mei Berry was still thinking about her one thousand catties of food. The two waited at the gate of the city until Mei Youqian appeared again. You are modest.

After meeting with her father, Mei Berry couldn't wait to go to the small courtyard that their family rented temporarily. Mei Berry put all the food piled up in the courtyard into the space.

After collecting them, Mei Berry completely relaxed, and the father and daughter told each other what happened before.

As soon as he heard that the soap business might make a lot of money, Mei Youqian's eyes widened in an instant. After being surprised, he thought of Lin Shoucai that Mei Berry had said, and said, "Ah, looking at his smiling and rich appearance, he is the shopkeeper. ?”

"Yeah, the key is that every time you call him the boss, he still responds."

"Hey, what's the matter? The ordinary people don't understand these things, and he won't correct them one by one if they call them wrong. Who wants to listen to the shopkeeper if they can be called the boss?"

Mei Youqian could understand the other party's thoughtfulness very well. After talking about this topic, Mei Youqian immediately changed the subject and said, "I just saw the pier was quite lively. It is said that a lot of sheep were transported from the north and sold alive!"

"Yeah?! Selling sheep?"

Mei Berry was also surprised. On weekdays, the town only sells some chickens, ducks, hares, etc., and there are very few large livestock like sheep.

At least there will be no sales for these two days.

"Yeah, how fresh! Many people went to join in the fun."

What Mei Youqian said inside and outside the box was that his family also went to join in the fun.

"Then let's go and have a look after we buy some things."

Mei Berry didn't want to join in the fun, but her father was just the opposite, so Mei Berry could only think of a compromise - to stagger the peak of the flow of people.

Facts have proved that plumberry's method is very good.

After they bought a lot of things, when they came to the sheep selling place again, there were already a lot of people around.

Mei Berry immediately noticed that Mei You was also standing among them, looking at the flock of sheep in front of her, as if she wanted to buy them.

Mei Berry and his father also leaned forward, and just happened to have someone passing by, so they heard the two talking:
"Crazy, 15 taels of silver for a cashmere sheep? When I bought the best local sheep last fall, it was less than [-] taels."

"Who says it's not? The sheep pulled from Hanzhou looks quite big, but the wool accounts for a lot of it? It is estimated that there is much less meat than our local sheep."

Hearing what they said, Mei Berry looked at these sheep carefully again. The fur on their bodies was quite long and thick, a bit like sheep, but they deserved the title of "cashmere sheep".

"Sister, are you coming to see the sheep too?" Mei Berry moved closer to Mei You, and Mei You, who was picking the sheep by herself, heard the movement, glanced at Mei Berry's bulging satchel and the pannier on the second uncle's body, and nodded slightly.

"Well, after slaughtering in winter, the meat is edible, and even the sheepskin is a good thing."

When Meiyou mentioned the sheepskin plumberry, she was also a little moved.

The family had bought muslin twice before.

Once in the cloth village in the town.

The price of a small piece is five or six times that of linen or Gebu, which is almost as high as silk.

Once at the shopkeeper who went to the village to sell goods.

Although the price was a bit cheaper, Wei Meili found some flaws in the cotton cloth after taking it home. It may be because it has been stored for a long time, not only faded, but also a little moldy.

After a long time, Mei Berry and his family discovered that the reason why the fine cotton cloth they bought was so expensive was mainly because the cotton cloth was not produced by Dacheng itself, and some foreign merchants came to sell it every year.

No one currently grows cotton in the native land.

Therefore, even if the branch line check-in given by the system fails without punishment, Mei Berry must find a way to complete it.

That's cotton, the kind with seeds!
Mei Berry stared at the cloud-like sheep, and remembered that when the family found out that there was no cotton in the country, they still wondered what was in the quilt at home?
At that time, the family quickly remembered that the quilts were mixed with animal fur, catkins, and crushed withered grass.

It was enough to make her mother sick at the time.

Fortunately, it was hot, and her mother turned the burlap she asked Widow Chen to make some time ago into a blanket to cover her body in summer.

Two days ago, I talked to her father about collecting some furs. When it's cold, it would be good to make clothes or quilts.

Right now, isn't this ready-made?
What Mei You said was not only heard by Mei Berry, but also by Mei Youqian.

Mei You saw that Mei Berry's family seemed to want to buy it, so she asked Mei Youqian how many heads she wanted to buy, hoping that Mei Youqian would come forward and the two of them would buy them together later.

By the way, Meiyou said that she wanted to help pick the sheep, saying that she had experience.

This requires that Mei Youqian has no objection, just because their family has no experience.

The two of them happened to be together, so they bought three sheep. After confirming, Mei You and Mei Youqian went to pay the money to pick the sheep.

It's just that buying sheep is a pleasure for a while, but after buying the sheep, the three of them started to worry.

Because the boat they took before did not allow such medium and large livestock to board.

For this matter, Mei Youqian could only go to the pier to inquire about the passenger ship pulling the goods.

Mei Berry and Meiyou took six cashmere sheep, found a shade tree by the pier, bought some food and drink, and rested there.

Mei You took another look at the bamboo baskets at Mei Berry's house next to him, seeing that they were full, and couldn't help but wonder what Mei Berry had bought in such a short time.

"What did you buy?"

"Vegetable seeds, and some food. Oh! We bought some braised meat. I thought no one here would eat offal. But last time I came to the county, my dad and I found out that there is a family in the county that makes braised meat. For the meat, they also have brine and trotters~
And the price is a little cheaper than stewed pork, but people are not very willing to buy it just like that.The main reason is that the shop owner likes it~ he makes it, sells it if it is sold, and eats it by himself if he can’t sell it. "

This kind of news is basically the result of Mei Berry's father buying things and getting close to others.

"Sister, today my dad bought four braised pig's trotters, two pig's ears and some pig's head meat, would you like to? I'll share with you~"

When Mei Berry buys things, if she can consume all of them in the near future, she will not put them in the space.

She pointed to the oil-soaked paper bags in the pannier and looked at Meiyou.

Seeing that Mei Berry wasn't really being polite to her, Mei You pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Well, some pork heads would be fine."

I thought Meiyou would want pig's feet, but in the end she only wanted pig's head.

If Mei Berry asked the reason, Mei You would definitely tell Mei Berry that if you saw those mutated wild boars in the last days using those mutated and iron-covered pig feet to headshot a zombie every day, ghosts would want to eat that stuff!
Similar does not work!

Mei Berry handed the oiled paper bag holding a part of the pig's head to Mei You, and Mei You put the pig's head into a satchel similar to the one Mei Berry was carrying.

Her bag is not like Meiberry, which is almost stretched into a spherical shape, and her bag still has a lot of space.

"Sister, you didn't just buy a sheep today, did you?"

Mayu: "Yeah."

Plum Berry: "??"

What terrible willpower?
The conversation between the two was suddenly ended when Mei You didn't buy anything. Mei Berry always felt that something was wrong, so she pulled out a few dusty lumps from her back basket.

"Sister, what do you think this is?"

"Taro?" Mei You immediately recognized the dusty lumps of soil that Mei Berry was holding in her hands.

"Yes!" Mei Berry was also very happy at the moment, "My dad and I bought it from the market together, and they shipped it from the south!"

As soon as Mei Berry mentioned taro, he thought of taro roast pork, and then sighed: "Unfortunately, I still haven't seen potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Speaking of several high-yield crops of later generations, except for one corn, I really haven't seen the others.

"By the way, there's cotton!"

Recalling the imagination she had when she saw the cashmere sheep just now, Mei Berry mentioned to Meiyou that there was no cotton planted in Dacheng.

When Mei You was told by Mei Berry, the expression on her face suddenly became weird.

Obviously, May hadn't noticed this before.

Previously, Meiyou only thought of some old cotton wool in the quilt, so she fell asleep stiff and hard.

Now according to Mei Berry's words, Mei You suddenly turned her head and looked aside at the three sheep she had just bought.

The cashmere sheep grazing silently suddenly trembled all over...

 Meiyou: What I saw was not a sheep, but a quilt!
