The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 268: Shopping

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Mu Yangling and Xiuhong finished selling the rabbit skins, they set down the cart in an alley. Holding hands, they ran to look for Mu Shi and the others.

Seeing all kinds of snacks on the stall, Xiuhong drooled. She pointed at a stall selling lamb skewers and said, “Cousin, I want to eat that.”

“Let’s go, I’ll buy it for you.” Mu Yangling pulled her in and said to the vendor, “Give us 20 skewers.”

Xiuhong tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “I can’t eat so much.”

“I can.”

The vendor quickly placed the 20 lamb skewers on the grill, as if he was afraid that they would go back on their word.

In this era, there weren’t as many seasonings for roasted mutton skewers. However, the sheep here were raised on the grassland and did not have a gamey flavor. They only needed to apply a little seasoning to roast them and they would turn out delicious with a strong mutton flavor. Unlike in the future, where one could only taste the barbecue flavor, and chili and cumin.

Mu Yangling looked at the sizzling mutton and couldn’t help but drool. From time to time, she would point out, “Just make it 80% cooked.”

When the vendor heard this, he smiled and said, “Miss, you’re an expert at eating mutton. This is my first time setting up a stall. Don’t blame me if I don’t do well.”

“No, no. I saw that you flipped through it quite quickly.” Mu Yangling looked up at him and saw that he was a standard Han Chinese. Smiling, she asked, “Did you raise the sheep yourself? The citizens of our Great Zhou rarely raise such sheep.”

The vendor smiled bitterly. “How could we have raised them by choice? We were forced. Previously, the Hus didn’t let us farm and insisted that we raise sheep and cows. Furthermore, those cows aren’t even plowing oxen that can farm? Since we don’t drink the milk that they produce, and considering cows are expensive, we had no choice but to raise sheep. Then, before we could slaughter them, our Great Zhou fought back.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Xiuhong asked.

“Considering it’s easy to get lost in such a crowded place, and there are beggars, it’s better to stay in the residence.”

Mu Yangling said, “What are you afraid of? When the time comes, get Qi Haoran to send a few guards to follow us closely. Nothing will happen.” “Whatever for?” Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin, who had been searching all the way here, happened to hear the last sentence.

Mu Yangling told him about the lantern festival that Bowen wanted to check out. Qi Haoran said nonchalantly, “When the time comes, I’ll come out too. Let’s go together.”

When Mu Shi saw Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin coming over, he hurriedly stood up to give them a seat. Fan Zijin said with a smile, “Uncle Mu, don’t get up. We’ll just sit at the adjacent table.”

Seeing that it was a little crowded, Mu Yangling said, “Let’s get two tables. One table is too crowded.”

Xiuhong and the others couldn’t ask for more. They were always a little restrained when eating with adults, so they felt much more at ease eating by themselves.

Mu Yangling immediately stood up and occupied the adjacent table. She waved at the waiter, who was about to object, and said, “Give me another serving of the dishes from that table just now.” Then, she said to Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin, “Order whatever else you want to eat.”

“I just drank a pot of tea and am about to starve to death. I need to order more dishes.”

Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately went forward happily and reported the names of the dishes. He also told them about the dishes that Mu Yangling and the others had ordered just now. Qi Haoran added two dishes, and Fan Zijin also added two. This way, there were many dishes on their table, filling the table.

However, they finished it all. When the waiter came up to settle the bill, he couldn’t help but click his tongue. Fan Zijin looked at Qi Haoran and then at Mu Yangling. He felt that with the two of them around, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of wasting food when he ordered dishes in the future.

He gestured for Yanmo to settle the bill. Mu Shi had already settled the bill first. Carrying the two sleepy little fellows in his arms, he said to Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin, “Little General, Young Master Fan, my wife and I will bring the children back to sleep first. Go play by yourselves.” Then, he looked at Mu Yangling and instructed, “Keep an eye on your younger siblings.”

Bowen and Xiulan cheered softly. Without the adults restraining them, they could have more fun.

Mu Yangling responded. Since Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin had brought many guards with them, Mu Yangling only had to keep an eye on them from afar. The guards would naturally watch over the children.

Seeing that Xiuhong was also excited, she patted her shoulder and said, “Go play with Bowen and Xiulan. I have something to say to Brother Haoran and the others..”
