"I know that," Mu Daiyao nodded and responded casually: "My family used to buy donkeys and mules. After all, they are cheap and have a long lifespan."

"But when it comes to plowing, donkeys and mules are far inferior to horses and mules." Ji Zhixu rarely heard Mu Daiyao talk about his past affairs. When he heard it, the expression on his face became obviously serious, for fear of

Missing her few words, "Yao Niang didn't need donkeys and mules to plow the fields at home, right?"

"Well, my family is often so poor that we can hardly open the pot. Where can we find any land to plow?"

Mu Daiyao actually didn't like to mention things in her own family, so she dismissed the topic lightly, and after thinking for a moment, she came to a conclusion and said: "Mr. sir, our family doesn't have much need now.

Mules are used for plowing. If you have enough money in the future, buying mules is just for the convenience of returning home, and sometimes they can also help transport some goods to the shop."

"I went to the Wa Market before. The price of donkeys and mules is about eight taels of silver, and horses and mules cost thirteen taels of silver. But if you can bargain, it depends on Yao Niang when you want to buy it. I will go with you.

Already."

"Do you know how good or bad my husband is?"

"You can look a little bit," Ji Zhixu's cold voice sounded a little softer at night. He patiently explained to Mu Daiyao: "No matter what kind of donkey, mule or horse mule, you have to look at their hooves first.

Mules’ narrow hooves mean they have greater endurance and can travel longer distances.”

"Uh-huh," Mu Daiyao kept it firmly in her mind while listening, and even sighed at the sound of Ji Zhixu's voice, which sounded a bit hypnotic, "Then what?"

Ji Zhixu didn't know if he heard the faint sleepiness in Mu Daiyao's voice. He arched his eyebrows in the dark and continued to speak softly with a smile: "Then we have to look at the limbs and choose those who are strong and strong.

It only needs to be in good condition, and finally take a look at the teeth.”

His fingers were tapping on the ground, and in just a few words, he told Mu Daiyao everything she wanted to know.

When the batter and braised pork were all sold out, Mu Daiyao shook her arms exhaustedly, stamped her feet on the spot, and stretched her stiffened muscles.

Although he said that, Ji Zhixu still had a little thought in his heart, thinking that Mu Daiyao would chat with him for a while. However, after a while, he heard Mu Daiyao on the bed breathing slowly, and she had entered safely.

into dreamland.

"Let's go home."

After resting for a while, Mu Daiyao stood up. Although her face was still a little tired, she was obviously in better spirits.

Ji Zhixu felt a little anxious after hearing these words. He cleared his throat, trying not to appear too happy.

"You just know that you come to me when you have something to do, throw it away after use, and stay away from me when you have nothing to do. You are such a heartless little person."

"Customized carriage." Upon hearing that she needed to spend more money, Mu Daiyao blinked her eyes and asked Ji Zhixu unceremoniously: "Mr. sir, are you good at handicrafts?

"

Ji Zhixu was stunned for a moment at first, and when he came to his senses, he was quite dumbfounded.

For now, it’s better to take a ride in an ox cart without having to pay for it yourself.

Mu Daiyao glanced at the sky outside and knew it was getting late, so she ended the topic without any hesitation, "Is there anything else to discuss? If not, let's take a rest as soon as possible. I will have to work all day tomorrow.

Oh my god!"

Ji Zhixu had no choice but to sigh helplessly, lowering his eyes with a hint of melancholy in his tone.

"there is none left."

However, because of Ji Zhixu's presence, the number of aunties and girls who came to patronize the business was several times more than usual. Everyone looked at Ji Zhixu and either blushed with embarrassment or stared at his face, unable to move their eyes away.

, even forgot to take the change.

"Then thank you Yao Niang for your compliment."

Ji Zhixu, on the other hand, seemed quite energetic. He packed up everything silently, stood behind Mu Daiyao, made her sit on a chair, and massaged her shoulders and neck for a while.

Today's shop business was still as good as before. Mu Daiyao's hands were shaking when she was setting up the pancake stall. Fortunately, Ji Zhixu was there to help with the money calculation, which relieved her a little bit of the burden.

"I didn't expect Yao Niang to know a lot. She must also know how to open the mouths of donkeys and mules without being bitten, right?"

"It's okay, I'm not the kind of squeamish person."

Although Ji Zhixu learned how to choose a good donkey and mule, Mu Daiyao couldn't afford the money to buy it at the moment, so she didn't think much about it and just regarded it as one of her future plans.

"That's right, sir, you are not an outsider."

Hearing this, Ji Zhixu curled the corners of his mouth, but the movements of his hands remained unhurried.

Mu Daiyao didn't care about this, she raised her hand and waved it.

"I know this. When the time comes, you can roughly tell the age of donkeys and mules by opening their mouths and looking at their teeth."

But what Mu Daiyao didn't know was that when his eyes fell on her slightly exposed collar, it would always be a little deeper than before.

Mu Daiyao felt very comfortable being massaged. She squinted her eyes slightly and stretched out like a satiated cat.

Hearing this, Mu Daiyao knew that Ji Zhixu was making fun of her. She turned over on the bed and put her hands under her head. At this time, she was feeling sleepy. She half-squinted her eyes and said lazily: "No.

So what if you know, I have my husband, you can help me."

Mu Daiyao didn't understand anything. She yawned and her voice became softer.

"Mother Yao, are you trying to keep your wealth from flowing to outsiders?"

"By the way, one more thing. Although mules can move faster than oxen, speed means that mule carts are more unstable than oxen carts. You will know after riding in Yaoniang once. I am afraid it will jolt you.

Not very comfortable.”

“The strength is moderate, not bad, not bad.”

Mu Daiyao, who was already fast asleep, didn't know that Ji Zhixu had said bad things about her. Even if she knew, just a few words could be exchanged for the knowledge of watching animals, which was not a loss for her.

"And if you want to seat people, don't forget to customize the carriage. Then we'll go find a carpenter to clarify the size of the carriage. We should be able to get it in a few days."

"Um."

The bullock cart driver was waiting at the gate of the backyard as usual, and Mu Daiyao immediately jumped on it, turning her head and raising her eyebrows to look at Ji Zhixu, as if asking him if he could do it.

"Yao Niang's skills are good," Ji Zhixu pressed the handle of the car and jumped up easily. He turned his head slightly and looked at Mu Dai Yao with a hint of inquisitiveness in his eyes, "It's more like what I used to do in the past."

The impression is different.”

"I wonder what my husband's impression of Yao Niang was like in the past?"
