“Yeah, otherwise, it’ll be so cold that Er Zhuang won’t even come out. By the way, are the cattle and sheep okay?” Zhou Ying asked.

“They’re fine. I’ve set up a few underground kilns, so it’s not too cold in the shed.

“Also, the dandelion, forsythia, and other medicinal herbs you brought seem to be doing quite well at the moment.”

“That’s great to hear. By the way, I will need your help to pick a cow and a sheep for slaughter and send them to my village.”

“Someone is buying meat?”

“That’s right, the head of the Gu clan. It’s almost the new year, so he wants to buy meat to celebrate.”

“You’re right; it’s almost the new year. Should we send someone to try selling our livestock elsewhere? This cowshed and sheep pen are almost full.”

Zhou Ying shook her head and said, “No, we shouldn’t. Besides Shanghe village, no one else can afford meat.

“It would be troublesome if the meat gets robbed.

“So, we’ll just wait for buyers to come to us. If someone wants to buy it, we’ll sell it. If not, we’ll just keep to ourselves.”

“Alright, we’ll do as you say. You stay here and rest while I go and get someone to prepare the cow and sheep.” Uncle Nian turned around and left after he finished speaking.

Zhou Ying went to the cowshed and the sheep pen for a walk. It was much warmer inside than outside.

However, because the skylight had been sealed, it was a bit stinky inside but at an acceptable level.

After that, she went to the storage room. While no one was around, she placed another layer of white sweet potato vines and more medicinal herbs.

When she was almost done, Chang Shun rushed over. “Mistress, please come in and have a drink.”

“It’s fine. Has anything happened recently at the manor?”

“Nothing out of the ordinary. It’s just that the weather is too cold, so we don’t go out if we can.

“The dormitory residents, in particular, have basically hibernated. Some of them didn’t open their doors for three to five days.

“Oh right, some of them ran out of salt, so I sold them some marinated red dates.”

“That’s great. Remember that we can’t just give and not receive; otherwise, we’ll raise a bunch of ungrateful people. Zhou Ying warned and continued, “Hm? There’s no one selling salt now?”

“Yeah, salt is getting rare now. Back then, we needed to marinate the red dates and feed them occasionally to the cattle and sheep. So, through Manager Liu, I went to the town to buy an entire cart of salt and cleared the small store.”

“Sparingly use them. It’s snowing heavily now, and we don’t know when the roads will be cleared.”

“I understand. We’ll try our best to save as much as possible.”

Afterward, they returned to the guest house and sat down to drink a glass of water.

After the cow and sheep meat were prepared, including frozen blood tofu, they were all wrapped in oil paper and returned to the village on a donkey cart.

When they arrived at the door of the patriarch’s house, Zhou Ying asked someone to take the goods in. After unloading them and receiving the silver, Zhou Ying turned around and left.

Mrs. Wang stopped her. “Ying, it’s time to eat. Why don’t you eat here? It saves you the trouble of going back to cook.”

“Yeah. Do stay. We will cook a piece of blood tofu and stew a whole cabbage.” Gu Chengsi added.

“Maybe another day. I didn’t snuff out the fireplace when I came out. I’m afraid my house will catch fire if I don’t return now.” Zhou Ying turned around and walked out after saying her goodbyes.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang could only send her out the door. “Please come over to have meat with us one day.”

“Alright, you guys go ahead and have dinner. We will come over on a later date.” Zhou Ying then dismissed Qian Zhuang, who drove the cart here, and returned home herself.

In the evening, because of the smell of meat and news of her sending meat to Gu Ziyi’s house, the villagers soon knew that Zhou Ying had brought meat back from the manor.

They all came to her door one by one, thinking of buying some meat for the new year..
