The butcher hesitated slightly after hearing what Gu Qingzhi said.

He pondered in his mind, although the purchase limit is two kilograms, there doesn't seem to be a rule that prohibits purchasing additional bones.

After all, normally people don’t like to gnaw on bones, and it’s rare to have meat, so most people will be thrifty and buy more meat. Few people have extra money to buy bones without much meat.

After thinking it through, the uncle nodded and said, "Sure, how much do you want?"

Gu Qingzhi thought to herself, the purchase limit for beef is two kilograms. Since I can't buy too much beef, it would be nice to have some beef ribs, especially since the meat on the beef ribs is more delicious.

After thinking about it, she quickly replied: "Uncle, please give us two pounds of this meat, and then give us four ribs, and we also want these two big bones."

The uncle immediately smiled when he heard this, thinking that this person is a big customer!

He skillfully picked out the best piece of beef from the chopping board, and immediately cut off two pounds of good meat with precision with his knife. Then he carefully selected a few meaty beef ribs and neatly cut out four of them. In addition to the two big bones picked by Gu Qingzhi, the uncle also gave two extra thick bones.

After finishing all this, the uncle pulled out a rope from under the chopping board and tied the meat and bones together. As he tied it, he said, "You two bought a lot of things, so these two big bones are for you."

Gu Yan and his sister looked at each other secretly. Is there such a good thing? Gu Qingzhi smiled from ear to ear.

Soon, all the ingredients were neatly tied up by the uncle with straw ropes.

"Young man and young lady, beef is 200 wen, beef ribs are 320 wen, and big bones are 20 wen, a total of 540 wen."

After the uncle quoted the price, he handed over the tied meat and bones, and Gu Yan quickly reached out to take them.

Gu Qingzhi took out her purse and carefully counted out 540 copper coins, then handed them carefully to the butcher. She said sweetly, "Uncle, thank you for your hard work."

The uncle just looked at them curiously, then waved his hand with a smile. This was a very polite young lady.

Thinking of this, she smiled and continued to greet the next customer enthusiastically.

After buying the beef, Gu Qingzhi was in a very good mood and happily took Gu Yan for a stroll along the street.

As she walked, she suddenly remembered that there were only a few spices left at home, so she decided to buy some more as a backup.

The spices I bought at the herbal medicine store last time were almost used up when I cooked spicy rabbit meat at home yesterday, so this time I need to add various spices, such as pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc.

Since we are at the market, let's find a shop here and buy everything.

As soon as she entered the store, she started shopping excitedly and picked out a large bag of various spices.

Seeing his sister's excitement, Gu Yan shook his head and laughed lovingly, while he quickly took the various things his sister bought and put them into the basket on his shoulder, while Gu Qingzhi took the purse to pay.

The two of them bought many items without realizing it, including kitchen supplies such as spices, oil, and salt, as well as delicacies such as dried fruits and red bean cakes, and a wide variety of other goods.

In this way, they happily shopped and strolled leisurely, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the end of the street.

Gu Qingzhi saw from afar a wide open space in front of him. Next to the open space stood a sign with three eye-catching characters "Niumaxing" written on it.

She couldn't help but blink her eyes curiously, and turned to ask her brother: "Brother, is this the legendary cattle and horse shop in our county? Is this the only place where cattle and horses are sold?"

Gu Yan smiled slightly, nodded and shook his head, and explained: "That's not the case. The cattle and horse market is not limited to the trading of cattle and horses. This is actually a large livestock trading market, including the trading of cattle, horses, donkeys, mules and other large livestock."

Gu Qingzhi became interested when she heard this, and asked expectantly, "So, brother, can we go in and take a look? I've never been to a cattle and horse market, and I'm really curious about what it looks like inside!"

Her eyes sparkled with thirst for knowledge and curiosity, and she was full of desire to explore this new place.

Curious, curious, very curious. After all, she had never been in the cattle and horse trade.

Gu Yan really couldn't refuse his sister who was acting like a spoiled child to him, so he had no choice but to lead her into the cattle and horse shop.

Gu Qingzhi was originally looking forward to seeing a tall and mighty horse with great joy, just like the big white horse that her brother rode in her previous life.

However, the scene before her disappointed her greatly - is this what they call a cow-horse? !

Not only were these horses short and thin, they also looked lifeless, completely unlike the tall, straight, strong and majestic appearance that Gu Qingzhi had in mind.

Not only are they rare in number, but their fur color also appears to be disorderly, not to mention the big white horses that are as white as snow.

Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Gu Yan looked at the disappointment on his sister's face and couldn't bear to see her so disappointed, so he couldn't help but explain: "After all, the cattle and horse business in our county is relatively small, and having a few horses like this is already quite good. Generally speaking, if you want to choose better horses, everyone will choose to go to Jiangzhou."

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi suddenly became curious and asked, "Is the cattle and horse market in Jiangzhou really that big? Are there a lot of horses there?"

Gu Yan nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, it is much bigger than here. After all, Jiangzhou is a state capital! There are many horses there. The small Pengze County can't compare with it at all."

As they walked, the two men observed the livestock around them.

With Gu Yan's detailed introduction, Gu Qingzhi gained a better understanding of this cattle and horse business.

Gu Qingzhi listened with great interest. Her brother was so knowledgeable that he even knew so much about these things.

Just then, her eyes were suddenly attracted by a donkey trapped in a cage.

The donkey was lying listlessly on the ground, but when it saw someone approaching, it suddenly raised its head and called to her twice weakly.

Although the voice was not loud, it revealed a deep sense of fatigue and pain.

Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but stop and stare at the donkey for a long time.

She felt her legs were as heavy as lead and could hardly take another step forward.

Seeing this, Gu Yan was puzzled: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you? Why are you staring at this donkey?"

Gu Qingzhi came back to his senses and sighed softly: "Brother, this donkey is sick."
