Chapter 277: Change of Plan
Translator: Atlas Studios , Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Yangling pulled the waiter up and smiled at the shopkeeper. “Shopkeeper, please forgive me. This is my first time here, so there are many things I don’t’ understand, so I asked Brother Waiter some questions to find out more.”
When the shopkeeper faced Mu Yangling, his disposition turned sunny. With a beam, he said, “Miss, you’re too polite. I’m just worried that this kid will spout nonsense and delay your matters. It’s simple if you want to eat mutton. Any eatery in the city has it. There are a few mutton restaurants along the way.”
Mu Yangling finished the mutton soup in her bowl and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Then, she stood up and cupped her fists. “Thank you for your guidance, Shopkeeper. I’ll settle the bill now and take my leave.”
Mu Yangling took out some money to pay for the meal and pulled Bowen and the rest out.
Xiuhong hurriedly finished all the mutton soup before catching up. “Cousin, why are we leaving in such a hurry?”
“We met a smart person.” Mu Yangling looked ahead and sighed. “I originally wanted to sell the sheep to a few families like in Three Springs County, but that shopkeeper could guess that I was here to sell mutton based on what little he heard…”
“Others aren’t stupid. Since we have no one to rely on in Xingyuan Prefecture, we have to be careful. Otherwise, we won’t even know if we’re sold.”
“So what do we do now?”
“Let’s try the mutton restaurant. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll go to the market and ask for the price.”
However, progress was not very smooth because they did not even get to see the owner of the mutton restaurant. However, the shopkeeper said that they already had a collaborative butcher and would not want the mutton Mu Yangling brought. Even if Mu Yangling said that theirs was top-notch grassland sheep, the shopkeeper was unmoved.Please visit 𝓃𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓁-𝒏𝑒xt.c0m website to read fastest update
Mu Yangling encountered the same situation three times in a row. Xingyuan Prefecture was different from a county like Three Springs County. These shop owners clearly trusted their long-term partners more than Mu Yangling, who appeared out of nowhere.
However, Xiuhong didn’t dare to say it in front of her cousin.
However, Mu Yangling was very excited. This was something she had planned long ago. Whenever she had the time, she would come to Xingyuan Prefecture to buy books. This was because the collection of books here was much more complete than in Xingzhou Prefecture. Of course, they were also cheaper.
Mu Yangling followed the direction that Zhang Liu had just walked in and realized that he was squatting in front of a restaurant. She was slightly stunned before she smiled happily. This kid was smart enough to figure out her thoughts.
Mu Yangling patted Bowen and said, “Go tell Zhang Liu that we’re going to the bookstore first and will probably take a long time. Tell him to wait for us here after he’s done.” As she spoke, she took out a tael of silver from her purse and handed it to him. “Give this to him. Since this kid is street-smart, that half tael of silver might not be enough.”
“Aye.” Bowen took the money and ran over to pass it to Zhang Liu, conveying Mu Yangling’s words.
Zhang Liu was excited. If he performed well, would the lady keep him and his older brother?
Filled with fighting spirit, Zhang Liu looked at Bowen with bright eyes and promised, “Young Master, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best.”
Bowen was confused. He didn’t know why Zhang Liu suddenly felt as excited as if he had eaten an immortal pill. He nodded and stood on his tiptoes to pat his shoulder, imitating his older sister. “Yes, work hard and my sister will treat you fairly.”
With that, he ran away.
The vendor standing with Zhang Liu came up and asked, “Brother, how many years have you worked for that young master?”
Zhang Liu nodded. He’d wanted to say that he was a slave, but he remembered that Mu Yangling had said that there were no slaves in the Mu family, so he said, “I’m a short-term worker in their family. Young Master and Young Miss are going to buy books, so they asked me to shop around to buy some things for them.”
This explained why the other party had given him a tael of silver.
The vendor’s eyes immediately lit up as he looked at him. “Way to go, Brother. From the way Young Miss and Young Master trust you so much, you must be doing really well. In the future, when you save money, you can go home and get a wife.. You haven’t gotten a wife yet, right?”
