Please continue reading on ΒOXΝVEL.ϹΟM .Mu Yangling stayed for another day. After walking around the city, she brought back four stewards and let them have their pick for four taels of silver per sheep.
The four stewards were all stewards of famous wealthy families in the city, and were very dissatisfied with Mu Yangling’s increase in price. “Young lady, I heard that you just sold one to someone for three taels yesterday. Why did the price increase by one tael in just a day?”
“That’s right. Even if our boss is rich, he won’t let others take advantage of him like this.”
Mu Yangling hurriedly explained, “Steward uncles, you’ve misunderstood. I chose the sheep I herded into the city yesterday. They wanted 40 sheep, so I herded 40 there. Among those sheep, the smallest one is only worth 3 taels and 60 copper coins when going by weight. I sold it to them in one go. As for the largest one?” Mu Yangling smiled in embarrassment and said, “Although I haven’t weighed it, I know a little about the sheep since I’ve raised them for so long. The largest one is worth about 3 taels and 500 copper coins by weight. But look at the sheep the few of you are choosing here.”
Mu Yangling pointed at the sheep and said, “Other than the six that the Bai family brought away this morning, there are still 254 left. If I let you choose one for three taels of silver, won’t the few of you choose the best ones? That last one can probably be sold for five taels of silver.”
“Bullsh*t. Our family head is an honest person. Why would he take advantage of you?”
“That’s right. It’s not like they’re so poor that they can’t eat.” The four stewards looked at the flock of sheep and felt that a few of them were especially strong and energetic. They waved their hands and said, “Alright, alright. Four taels it is. How should we get them out?”
“Don’t worry about it. Just point it out to me and I’ll capture it for you.”
The four stewards also found it dirty, so they stood outside the fence and wandered around the sheep. Someone pointed at a fatter one and said, “I want this one.”
Mu Yangling stepped into the fence and stared intently at the sheep, then quickly grabbed one of its legs and carried it out.
The four stewards clicked their tongues and ordered sheep one after another for Mu Yangling to catch. In the end, Mu Yangling caught a total of 15 sheep.
Mu Yangling tied up the sheep selected by the four stewards separately before washing her hands and settling the bill with them.
Knowing that the sheep they chose was worth more than four taels, they happily paid Mu Yangling the money.
