Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 429 2 Sheep

Old Fan stared at the two sheep, one large and one small, his mouth watering. "Ms. Jiang, the larger one is a ewe, probably one and a half to two years old, and the smaller one is less than six months old, a ram. This is the kind of lamb we have to use for roasting whole lamb, they're very rare! As for the larger one, we'll eat it slowly."

He rolled up his arms and said, "Whenever you want to eat, just give me a call and I, Old Fan, will kill it right away!"

The threat of death made both sheep tremble, and they clung to each other tightly. Yingzi, who was grunting as he carried fodder for the two sheep, glared at Lao Fan and said, "Master Fan, Li Wuniang said this ewe is still producing milk. Save it for you to feed her!"

If she could just eat them, why would she bother feeding them? Wouldn't she just kill them and be done with it?

"I see. Well, keep it. If you want to eat mutton, just buy it outside."

Jiang Shangxian took out a coin and gave it to Lao Fan: "Buy more mutton tomorrow."

Yingzi was overjoyed when she heard this. She had wanted to raise sheep for a long time. In their village, whoever raised the most sheep was the richest, lived the best life, and had the most money.

She had been here for so long and had seen many live sheep in Chang'an City, but none of them belonged to the Jiang family.

In Yingzi's eyes, the most prestigious livestock in the Jiang family is the magical Xiongba.

Therefore, she treated Xiongba very well and often shared snacks with him.

Now that she has these two sheep, Yingzi decided to cancel all of Xiongba’s snacks in the future. She wants to save them for the sheep Mee-mee who can produce milk and eat meat!

Jiang Shangxian didn't care. She didn't have to clean the yard anyway. Yingzi loved livestock so much that she was the only one who took care of the livestock at home. She worked diligently and tirelessly every day, cleaning up the livestock's poop and feeding them.

"If you like, keep them. They're just two sheep."

The generous Xiao Jiang patted her head and said, "Accompany me to the Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion tomorrow. Let's go as soon as we finish it."

"Hey!"

Old Madam Xia heard the noise and came out to discuss with her: "How about we raise a few more chickens?"

The old lady has always been obsessed with the chickens that were stolen from her hometown, but this place belongs to Nian Nu, so she has to discuss it with her children before she can do anything: "The chickens raised at home are definitely better than those raised outside."

Xiao Jiang disagreed with this statement. She felt that once she raised a living creature, she would never be willing to eat it. As for whether it tasted good or not, who didn't raise chickens in the wild?

They are all wandering chickens, and the eggs they lay are all wandering eggs!

But since the old lady had already mentioned it, Xiao Jiang wouldn't refuse: "Raise some. Let Old Fan build a chicken coop tomorrow so they don't run around and make chicken shit all over the floor."

"No, I'll just raise one. I'll just get a chicken coop."

Old Madam Xia had her own plans: "When spring comes, I'll have to trouble Old Fan to build a chicken coop in Yong'anfang. I'll raise chickens there then."

After Jiang Shangxian gets married, they will move back. There is no need to build a chicken coop here, so she will just raise one to satisfy her own needs!

"What the old lady said is true. It's just a matter of giving a call. Why do we have to wait until spring? I'll go find some ingredients to kill them tomorrow!" Although Old Fan failed to kill the two sheep, he was happy that Jiang Shangxian gave him money to buy mutton!

He wants to eat lamb chops! The taste of roasting a whole lamb chops is no better than roasting a whole lamb!

Why buy a whole fan?

Because if you buy ribs at that time, they are really ribs, and the meat is shaved as cleanly as possible, which is different from modern ribs where you are almost left with more meat.

Buy the whole one, it has meat and bones, it is so delicious, fragrant, sizzling with oil, the meat is mixed with the seasoning of marinated lamb, it is so delicious that you will lick your fingers.

It was so cold, and Xiao Jiang suddenly felt like having chicken soup. "I'll come back tomorrow and bring some chicken back. We're going to have chicken for Chinese New Year, too. It would be delicious if we put some cabbage in the chicken soup!"

Without a boyfriend to keep me warm, I have to eat more good food to replenish my energy!

When it comes to eating meat, Lao Fan and Yingzi are the most enthusiastic. Lao Fan, in particular, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll make a chicken coop right now! I'll make sure the chickens all get to stay in separate rooms tomorrow when they arrive."

Unexpectedly, Li Xueyan arrived early the next morning, bringing a lot of things with her: some simple and elegant materials, as well as some spices and fruits. When she saw her, the little girl laughed happily: "I heard that you missed me so much, so here I am this morning. Tell me, why are you so clingy? We haven't seen each other for just a few days?"

Jiang Shangxian glanced at her, not knowing where he had learned this nonsense from. "I have something to talk to you about. What are you doing with all these things?"

"It's not for you, it's for Mr. Zhang. Isn't the New Year coming soon? Give Mr. Zhang a New Year's gift."

Li Xueyan covered her mouth in feigned surprise: "Oh, you didn't forget Mr. Zhang's New Year gift, did you?! Oh my, this is unfilial, unfilial~"

The strange tone made people want to hit her. Jiang Shangxian made up his mind to beat her up. He rushed over and hugged her, and his hands kept tickling the soft flesh on her waist. Li Xueyan laughed so hard that she had no strength left. She sat on the ground and begged for mercy before he let her go: "Tell me! Where did you learn all that?"

Li Xueyan glanced around cunningly, tugged at her sleeve, stood up, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I came home late yesterday. My father didn't know I'd come back so late, and he was fooling around in the study with a little girl whose name I don't know. I overheard them!"

According to the rules of the Jiangxia Prince's Mansion, the younger generation must pay their respects to the elders and say hello when they return home. She didn't expect that when she arrived, she would hear her father and concubine flirting in the study. If it were someone else, they might feel embarrassed, but who is Li Xueyan?

"I pretended I knew nothing and rushed in, but I scared them terribly!"

Li Xueyan shook her head with great pride, huh, it was these little bitches who were so shameless as to flirt with her father all day long, which forced her mother to hide in the farm and turn a blind eye to it!

"That's amazing, Wu Niang!"

Xiao Jiang gave her a thumbs up in great support. The shameless old Prince Jiangxia should be punished. How could he make his wife angry and go to the farm just for a concubine?

It’s not embarrassing either!

Li Xueyan raised her chin and said, "Of course, she's just a concubine. I didn't do it on purpose. It's just a coincidence. I've already bumped into her. If I don't go up and embarrass her, I'll feel sorry for my mother!"

"Well done!"

Good sisters, don’t they have to fight together, curse each other, and say bad things about each other?!

If Li Xueyan killed someone, Xiao Jiang would have to help pass the knife if she was there to be considered loyal!

But then again, she still had something serious to tell her: "I have already delivered Mr. Zhang's New Year gift, so I won't go with you. You don't go yet. Come with me into the house first. I have something to tell you."
