My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

55 Chapter 55 Buy A Donkey

Zhou Ying woke up early the following day. After washing the bean sprouts, she started the stone mill to grind the beans.

However, just as she set it up, Gu Chengrui rushed back to take it and said, “Leave this to me. Go back and sleep for a while before you catch a cold.”

“I’m fine. I slept in the interspace last night and feel much better now.” Zhou Ying said this, then changed the topic, asking, “Oh right, what’s the situation? Is he better now?”

“Fortunately, I gave him a special anti-inflammatory pill before bed last night. Otherwise, he would have been in danger.

“But when I went back, he was already stable. I’ll take a look when I come back from town. If the fever doesn’t come back, he should be fine.” Gu Chengrui said as he started to push the mill.

Zhou Ying didn’t say anything after hearing that. Instead, she took a spoon and began to scoop up the beans.

However, according to Chef Zhou’s request, she only managed to make one plate of tofu. After boiling the soy milk, she skimmed it to make a few pieces of dried yuba, and the rest was pressed into dried beans.

After everything, there were two bowls of soy milk left. Zhou Ying took a bag of half-finished deep-fried dough sticks from her interspace, fried them, and the two had a warm breakfast.

After the meal, Zhou Ying marinated the dried tofu and stamped out the fireplace. She went to town with Gu Chengrui to see if the tofu could pass the chef’s test and buy a donkey cart.

Zhou Ying’s tofu-making skills were quite good, so Chef Zhou happily handed the work to them and ordered two plates of tofu daily.

However, the price was one copper cheaper than the outside, four coppers for one pound. Fortunately, the couple were satisfied as they didn’t have to peddle their goods.

After leaving Hongyun Restaurant, the two went to the market and bought 10 pounds of ribs. Then they went to the livestock market.

As soon as she entered, a man in his 20s approached her and asked, “Do the two of you want to buy an ox? An ox that came of age two years ago only cost fifteen taels of silver.”

“A yellow ox?” Gu Chengrui asked.

“It’s a yellow ox. We can’t raise buffaloes with the weather here.”

“Do you have a donkey or mule?”

The man’s enthusiasm immediately dropped, but he said, “There’s a donkey. I’ll take you there.”

After speaking, he brought the two of them to a corner. When he arrived, he said to the old man feeding a donkey, “Uncle Sun, I’ve brought you someone looking for donkeys.”

“Alright, thank you, Erzi. I’ll treat you to beef noodles for lunch.”

“Then I’ll be waiting.” After the man finished speaking, he pointed at Gu Chengrui and his wife, then turned and left.

Gu Chengrui nodded at Uncle Sun and observed the three donkeys in front of him. Finally, he chose the one on the far left and went forward to check the donkey’s mouthpart. After confirming that it was younger than two years old, he asked, “Uncle Sun, how much are you selling this donkey for?”

“I didn’t expect you to know your stuff. To be honest, this donkey has just been bought. It has just come of age and is fat and strong. If you want it, it’ll cost ten taels of silver, but I’ll give you an elmwood cart to go with it.” Uncle Sun indicated a direction after he finished speaking.

Gu Chengrui turned his head and saw a brand new donkey cart.

He walked up and took a look. Besides the wheels being made of wood, he was satisfied with everything else. Even the saddle was fitted.

“Then do you have a whip? Give me one, and it’ll save me the trouble of making it.”

“The whip is not a problem. I’ll give you one.” Uncle Sun pulled a whip from the side and threw it to him.

“Thanks.” Gu Chengrui took it and thanked him.

After that, he looked at Zhou Ying. Zhou Ying handed over five taels of whole silver with a pained expression, and the other five taels consisted of broken silver and copper coins.
