After watching Shen Mama leave, Chun Feng picked up the colored porcelain teacup with a pained expression and said unhappily: ”Young Mistress, it's true that you broke such a beautiful teacup just for this little bit of silver. Another set of tableware is still missing.”
Mu Rousang replied in amusement: ”Do you think I don't know what you guys are thinking? Forget it, after falling down, with just one tea cup left, I already gave it to you guys for tea.”
Chun Yi and Chun Yi hurriedly bowed and thanked him, then said smilingly, ”Tsk, tsk, such a beautiful cup servant has been thinking about this for a long time. Chun Feng, remember to keep this tea set properly.
”Of course, it's just a set of tea set worth a few dozen taels. That means our young mistress will reward them with something new, but it makes them jealous for a while again.”
Mu Rousang crooked her eyebrows and pointed at the few of them: ”So you guys had already planned this for a long time, so you just hoped that I could break one of you?”
The five of us can drink it on a normal day, but if there's an extra empty cup, who would be the one to share it with? Could it be that every time someone comes over, he has to drink two cups? ”
Chun Yi said disdainfully, ”You're a big teapot, but we can't drink from you.”
Spring Breeze added, ”Hai, only Young Mistress won't soften her grip when she falls from the sky. If this cup were to fall on that old demoness' body, I would be slightly relieved, but it would still fall on her feet.”
”How would you know? Our Young Mistress is just telling her that our Young Mistress isn't short on money.” Spring Scene replied in a loud voice.
He saw through this and said, ”How can that be? Not only did our young mistress tell that old lady that she does not lack money, she also wanted to show her who the old lady is. She is that old woman's personal mother.”
She pointed towards the Main yard and asked curiously: ”Young Mistress, why do you still accept this job even though you know that you don't have enough money?”
Mu Rousang did not take the matter of the tea set to heart at all, and continued to eat his melon seeds, laughing: ”You still think they are stupid, and it turns out you can't see through them, so I'll tell the three of you, there are three great beasts as offering sacrifices, the three great beasts are the meat of pigs, cows, and sheep, and the three small beasts are the meat of chickens, ducks and fishes.”
She didn't understand why the nobles here didn't eat pork? Why can we offer sacrifices to our ancestors? Forget it, it was better for her to not think about these things, so she continued: ”These six, along with the seafood and venison, can't be lacking on the main table. There must be pigs, chickens, ducks, and fishes at the side table.”
”So it turns out that Madam Hou didn't even give us enough money. What should we do? Young Mistress, we can't afford to lose out.” The Spring Festival Gala was the first to shout out.
Spring Breeze tugged at her and jokingly scolded, ”Why are you in such a hurry? ”Listen to our young mistress first.”
Mu Rousang laughed: ”This matter is not difficult to handle. Let's not talk about the other side, don't we have a lot of living beings in our village? Then, I left the manor and earned some money for nothing. I have to calculate it at the usual price. ”
If she were to directly pick up living beings from the manor and not go through the second or third person traders, the price of these living beings in her possession would be one to two pounds higher than the usual prices.
Chun Yi immediately understood and smiled, ”Our young mistress has a mulberry farm. It was Young Master who brought it here to play with her. I presume you still have all those things.”
”Sigh, it solved a big problem for me. In the other two villages, I brought them to the restaurant, but this one is not big, and getting the restaurant is not enough, so I could only put it aside and use it as a sacrifice. As for the cow, sheep, and deer, aren't these things for the ancestors? ”Chun Yi, go to the clan members' houses and ask them if they are willing to sell those animals at the market price. Although mother's money is a bit small, if anyone is willing, tell them that our house can't let the clan members suffer losses even if we put some money on them in private.”
She thought that this method was really good. Those clan members were not all wealthy. A sheep could be exchanged for several taels of silver. Even if they saved up some money in the capital, it would still be good to eat and drink for two to three months.
The matriarch may have shared the animals with them, but they were transported back from outside the pass. I heard that they just arrived tomorrow, and there will be twenty-four hours left.
With just a few of them being open-minded, it was possible that the Madam Hou had set his eyes on those horny students. Mu Rousang's attack was secretly aimed at her face.
”Young Mistress, we won't lose anything doing this, will we?” Spring Breeze was still a little worried.
Mu Rousang replied with a smile: ”How can I lose! All the food was brought over from that small village, but it was all for nothing, nothing more than a waste of effort. ”
