198k rmb for 22 animals, approximately equivalent to 10k rmb for an animal.
Furthermore, the animals that Zhang Han bought were young animals, if he were to buy fully grown ones, it would be more expensive.
However, all those were things that he had to buy. Zhang Han had no concept towards money, there was never a time where Han Yang Immortal Monarch was in lack of money.
Although he had just been reborn and was not rich currently, Zhang Han believes that it won’t be long before he would be able to become extremely rich again.
After paying the bill and telling the person the address to deliver the goods to, Zhang Han drove the car towards the end of the street.
The time was currently 10 am. After driving for 10 minutes, Zhang Han saw the farmers’ market. There was a lot of people at the farmers’ market. Although the busiest period was over, there was still a lot of people entering and leaving the farmers’ market. It seemed that it would require some effort to drive the car into the farmers’ market, thus Zhang Han parked the car at the roadside, then carried Meng Meng and walked towards the farmers’ market.
All sorts of things were sold at the market. There were melon seeds, mineral spring water, clothes, pants, canvas shoes, cooked food, vegetables, and so on other things. The variety of things sold here was very wide.
As everyone knows, markets have been circulated down from the ancient time up to this day and had never been cut off, just that, along with the gradual development of science and technology, the number of markets had also become much lesser.
Compared to the younger generation, the older generation likes to go to the market more. After all, the market was a place that was linked to tens of years of their memories. Whereas the young people these days like to go to supermarkets that were diverse to buy their life necessities.
“There are so many, so many grandpas and grandmas here!” Meng Meng mumbled within her father’s embrace.
The little princess did not saw the stalls at both sides of the road, all she could see in her sight were adults that were walking.
After walking into the inner side of the farmers’ market for 5 minutes, Zhang Han finally saw the person who sold free-range chickens.
This was a 50+ years old woman whose hair was ash-colored. The woman was currently chatting with the elderly lady who was in charge of the vegetable stall beside her.
“How much is one free-range chicken?” Zhang Han coughed lightly and asked.
“You have a customer.”
The stall owner was chatting enthusiastically and did not hear Zhang Han talking. Only after the vegetable stall owner reminded her, then did she turned her head around, took a look at Zhang Han and replied,
“200 rmb each.”
“I want thirty.” Zhang Han said.
“How many?” The stall owner slightly went into a daze.
“We want thirty.” Meng Meng replied for her father.
“That many?” A smiling expression appeared on the stall owner in an instant as she said, “You will have to follow me to my house to get the chickens.”

“En.” Zhang Han nodded his head.
“Er’ya, help me look after my stall for a while, I’m going back home to get the chickens for him.” The stall owner said, then brought Zhang Han towards the house area at the side.
While walking, she looked towards Meng Meng and said with a smile, “Oh my, this child sure is adorable and pretty. Young man, you are truly blessed.”
“Haha, she is my daughter after all.” Zhang Han grinned and laughed.
At outside, when others praise your own child, as a parent, one would feel very happy. No matter if the praise was real or formality, it was still nice listening to the praise.
“This child is your biological child? Doesn’t seems like it though?” The stall owner sized up and down and said.
Zhang Han’s smiling expression immediately became stiff.
What do you mean by that? Saying that I am ugly?
The corner of Zhang Han’s mouth slightly twitched as he said, “She is my biological child.”
“Eh, hahaha……” The stall owner also realized what she said didn’t seem right. After laughing awkwardly, she said, “The child resembles her mother I suppose. Her mother must be really pretty.”
“My, my mommy is especially pretty! My daddy is also very handsome too.” Meng Meng said with her small voice.
“Yes, yes, your father is indeed actually quite spirited.” The stall owner smiled and said.
Following the stall owner to her house, the stall owner’s house was like a siheyuan, there was quite a lot of free-range chicken raised at the back of the house.
(四合院: Siheyuan – A siheyuan is a historical type of residence that was commonly found throughout China, most famously in Beijing and rural Shanxi. Throughout Chinese history, the siheyuan composition was the basic pattern used for residences, palaces, temples, monasteries, family businesses, and government offices.)
Zhang Han bought 30 female chickens and 1 male chicken. The chickens he bought were all fully grown. After bringing those chickens to Crescent Mountain, they could start laying eggs immediately. However, speaking of the constitution of the chickens, they were definitely not comparable to the chickens that would, later on, grow up at Crescent Mountain from when they were only chicks.
However, Zhang Han also prepared to spend some capital. He intends to feed the dairy cows, dairy sheep and those chickens some Pure-Yang Water to improve their constitution. After thinking for a bit, he bought 30 chicks, At Crescent Mountain, their growth speed would be very high. In all likelihood, after the first batch of chickens had been eaten finish, those chicks would also have grown up.
Zhang Han also wanted to buy ducks and gooses, so he asked the stall owner where he could buy them. With the stall owner guiding him, he bought 30 ducks and 30 gooses, with all them being young animals. The amount of Pure-Yang Water was limited and could not be used excessively. If not, Zhang Han could have just bought fully grown ducks and gooses and just fed them Pure-Yang Water.
Because he knew that he could not swipe card, Zhang Han withdrew some money in advance. After finish paying, the stall owner found a truck driver. After placing the chickens, ducks, and gooses in the truck, the truck driver followed along the Jeep that Zhang Han drove and drove towards Crescent Mountain.
After reaching Crescent Mountain, because there was only a truck driver that helped deliver the goods, Zhang Han had no other choice but to do the work himself.
The fully grown chickens had their legs tied up and placed into a bag, and the small ducks and gooses were placed in a paper box.
Making a few trips back and forth, Zhang Han placed the chickens, ducks, and gooses in their respective area.
At the start, having arrived at an unfamiliar environment, they were running all around the place.
Upon seeing that, Zhang Han waved his hand and called over Xiao Hei who was playing toys with Meng Meng.
“Xiao Hei, come here.” Zhang Han pointed to the respective area of the chickens, ducks, and gooses and said, “This is their place, don’t let them run all around the place.”
“Woof!”
Hearing that, Xiao Hei’s eyes lighted. It was time to act cool!
Xiao Hei revealed out his fangs and ran out at the speed of lightning.
Originally, there were some chickens, ducks, and gooses which wanted to go to other places, but they were scared stupid by the imitating Xiao Hei. After a few times, they all were conscious of their own living space. Although their living space was a circle formed by holly trees, but the size of this circle was just like the size of a small public square, which was big enough for them to play and move around as they like.
“Daddy, I am still waiting to play with Xiao Hei.” Meng Meng played by herself at one side for a few minutes and saw that Xiao Hei was still not coming back and thus pouted her mouth and said dissatisfiedly.
“Alright, alright, Xiao Hei, you can go back and play with Meng Meng.” Zhang Han laughed lightly and said.
Hearing that, Xiao Hei grinned and once again let out a deep and low threatening sound towards the chickens, ducks, and gooses, as if he was saying,
“All of you better be honest for me this Chinese rural emperor dog, if not I will eat you all!”
After howling finish, Xiao Hei turned around and ran towards Meng Meng. Xiao Hei’s expression also immediately changed, the look on Xiao Hei was that of a very well-behaved dog. Right now, Xiao Hei had already realized that he must fawn his little master, as the little master had the most speech authority.
Xiao Hei and Meng Meng played together, while Zhang Han sat on one side, took out his phone and continued learning a foreign language.
The spiritual strength continuously converged at Zhang Han’s head, enabling him to reach a state close to being able to remember something with just a look. Adding on with listening to some foreign spoken words, it caused Zhang Han’s learning speed to be incredibly fast.
The 2 hours of learning yesterday night and the learning in the morning had already made Zhang Han’s English reached level 6. Seems like that a person whose English was level 8 would appear soon.
Furthermore, after finish learning English, Zhang Han still intends to learn other languages. In front of Meng Meng, he must be multi-talented and proficient in everything!
After learning for an hour, the delivery personnel of the pet store called Zhang Han’s phone.
“Meng Meng, the pets that we bought have arrived, let’s go and receive them.” Zhang Han stood up and said.
“Alright,” Meng Meng immediately stood up. She patted Xiao Hei’s head and said, “Xiao, Xiao Hei, I picked lots of lots of little friends for you.”
“Woof, woof.” Xiao Hei barked out two times happily.
At Crescent Mountain, it was boring if it was just him alone. How stifling would it be if others were not able to see such an almighty emperor dog? But it was all good now, with new companions coming, wouldn’t he be able to show off how almighty he was whenever he wants? Wouldn’t he be able to act cool whenever he wants?
Arriving at the bottom of Crescent Mountain, the delivery guy was currently placing dog cage after dog cage at right beside the Jeep.
“Oh my god, what is this thing?!”
The delivery guy who was a youth suddenly saw Xiao Hei and was scared.
“Don’t need to be scared, he won’t bite.” Zhang Han gave him a reassuring glance.
“He really won’t bite? Don’t this dog seem to have grown too big?” The youth said while feeling somewhat afraid.
“You can be at ease.” Zhang Han laughed lightly.
After waiting 5 seconds and seeing Xiao Hei’s haughty expression, which was just like that of an emperor who was overlooking the world and did not pay any slight trace of attention to him, the youth was then able to feel at ease.
The youth took a few looks at Xiao Hei attentively and said, “Eh? This dog seems to be a Chinese rural dog, how did it grow so big? Chinese rural dog shouldn’t be able to grow this big? Furthermore, it is even this pretty, what kind of dog is this mister?”
“Chinese rural emperor dog.” Meng Meng patted on Xiao Hei’s head and said.
“F**k! It is the first time that I have seen a Chinese rural dog have this kind of physical appearance, it is truly inconceivable. For a Chinese rural dog to be able to grow up this well, if this was spread outside, it is most likely that it would cause quite a stir, this is practically a miracle!” The youth said with a surprised face.
“You can let the dogs out of their cage and take back the cages, I don’t need the cages.” Zhang Han took a look at the dogs which were anxious to get out of their cage and said.
“Eh? There is so many dogs here, if they were all let out, they would definitely run around, and just the two of us won’t be able look after them.” The youth hesitated and said.
30+ dogs that were worth a total of 230k rmb, if a few of them were to actually ran away, just thinking about it would make one feel heartache.
“It’s all right, you can feel at ease and let them out of their cage.” Zhang Han shook his head slightly and said.
“This…alright then.” The youth laughed bitterly and walked to the cages.
When he opened the first cage, inside the cage was a husky, famous for being ‘disappear once let go’. Upon leaving the cage, the little fellow ran towards one side happily.
“Woof!” Xiao Hei’s expression became fierce-looking.
It was time to establish prestige!
After barking one time, just like a lightning, he dashed to the front of the little husky in a few steps and bit towards the little husky.
The sharp fangs caused the delivery guy’s heart to jump.
If the husky was to be bitten by those fangs, the life of that little husky would definitely be gone.
However, the following image caused the youth to be dazed.
The sound of thunder was big but the rain was small, Xiao Hei’s fierce bite only held the little husky in his mouth. After holding the little husky in his mouth, Xiao Hei’s shook his head and straightforwardly threw the little husky to the front of the cage.
“Plop!”
The little husky fell onto the ground and rolled two times before standing up. Shaking its dizzy head, the little husky did not know just what actually happened.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
Xiao Hei fiercely barked a few times towards the dogs that were in the cages, immediately scaring the dogs to the point that they were shivering and had an afraid look on their face.
The youth looked at Xiao Hei with a somewhat stupefied and sluggish expression. Only after Zhang Han reminded him then did he came back to his senses and continued letting the dogs out of their cage.
This time, the dogs were all honest and there was none that dared to run towards one side.
Note: About just what dog Xiao Hei is, I swear to god finding out and confirming what dog Xiao Hei was extremely triggering because, in the raw, the name of what dog Xiao Hei is kept on changing, and there is also no direct translation of the names of the dog in English. After searching the google for quite a while, I have confirmed what dog that Xiao Hei is. So, Xiao Hei is basically a four-eyed Chinese rural dog, aka, in the raws, “四眼铁包金小土狗‘ / ‘铁包金土狗’ / ‘中华田园犬’/ ‘土狗’. It is also written that Xiao Hei is a Chinese rural emperor dog, aka, in the raws, ‘铁包金帝王狗’, which is basically a non-existent species, adding the ’emperor’ was most likely author way of saying Xiao Hei is special or something. Also, in a few chapters back, I wrote that Xiao Hei is a Tibetian Mastiff, which was wrong, and I have corrected it. So if anyone was confused about what dog Xiao Hei was, hope this helped.
