“I just want to buy cow milk,” Ye Muyu quickly said. She was already grown up, so if she still went to drink breast milk, it was simply… It was unimaginable.
“Oh…” Chu Xing also realized that his words were a little inappropriate. He scratched the back of his head and said, “Third Aunt is going to buy cows today. You can ask around. If there are no cows in the barn, I will go to the surrounding villages to help you ask about it. I seem to vaguely remember that a family recently had a calf.”
“However, some people don’t take good care of their cows, so a lot of times, the calves don’t even have enough to eat.”
Chu Xing gave Ye Muyu a heads-up.
“Just try your best.” Ye Muyu also knew that many modern things were even rarer in ancient times. She was not the wife of an official, so it was indeed difficult to buy them.
She would just let nature take its course and not force it.
The two of them quickly arrived at the old mansion.
He did not expect that not only Madam Liu was waiting, but also Madam Zhang and Chu Qingxiang.
“Sister-in-law, Mother.” Ye Muyu buried her surprise in her heart.
Hearing her great them, Chu Ziluo also called out in a crisp voice, “Grandma,
Auntie, Sister Qingxiang.”
“Ziluo is so obedient.” Madam Zhang had always had the temperament of not offending anyone, so such compliments were at her fingertips.
“Hurry up and get in the car. The earlier you go, the earlier you come back,” Madam Liu said.
Madam Zhang also knew that time was a little tight today. After all, it was busy farming.
The three of them got on the carriage. After Chu Xing drove the mule onto the main road, he picked up speed.
Ye Muyu did not ask Madam Zhang and Chu Qingxiang why they were going.
Madam Zhang was curious about what Ye Muyu was going to do in the county.
“Third Daughter-in-law, why do you want to go to the county today?” Madam Liu asked casually.
‘Yesterday, I went to a field that I hadn’t seen for a long time and found some plants. They looked like herbs, so I got some and sent them to the county medical center to ask for the price.” Ye Muyu had no intention of hiding the matter of the herbs.
No matter how much she coveted the Wild Fan flowers and fruits in other fields, they belonged to others. Other than the lands belonging to the imperial court, the other lands in Xingshui Village had owners.
She had also seen that because of the large number of people in Apricot Water Village, there were basically not many unowned lands.
There was not even a lot of wasteland. Other than that, even the small hills were divided.
This was similar to the situation in the countryside in his previous life. However, the land in Apricot Water Village was bought by the family and not distributed by the imperial court.
She had never been interested in things that were not hers, but things that did not have an owner were fine.
“Medicinal herbs?” Madam Liu and Madam Zhang were both surprised.
Even Chu Qingxiang could not help but stick her head out to take a look. Ye Muyu insisted and lifted the cloth on the basket to show them.
She pointed at the Wild Mountain flowers and fruits in the cloth bag and explained the medicinal effects.
As for the source, she explained it even more clearly. “I often go to get medicine, and when I’m bored, I’ll ask. I think this is very similar.”
“In addition, my husband’s medical book wrote some of it. I asked Lil’ Jin to read it, so I think it should be.”
Chu Ziluo was showing off. “Grandma, Lilt Jin is very serious about his studies now. He knows many words. He can even teach me and Mother how to read.” Although she was young, she did not hide her happiness.
Ye Muyu added, “My husband was worried that Lil’ Jin wouldn’t study seriously, so he thought of a way and asked Lil’ Jin to teach us how to read.”
When Madam Liu heard that it was Chu Heng’s idea, she was not surprised. She even smiled and said, “You don’t say, Lil’ Jin loves new things the most and likes to be praised. This method is really not bad..”
