"There's news about the calves you asked me to inquire about." Butcher Qin took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and said, "I can't find 700 calves for you at once, and only managed to find these."

Mu Yangling opened it and realized that the townships along the pipeline from Xingyuan Prefecture to Jiangling Prefecture had been marked. They must have done the investigation when they went to seek out sales channels for the mutton.

"I can only find about 50-60% of that 700 that you want. Do you want it? If yes, we'll bring them for you when we come back. I won't earn much from you, just 500 copper coins per calf. How about that?"

Mu Yangling replied with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Qin, but considering it's not safe on the road, I reckon we should buy less for the first time. By the way, I want more than 700 this time. I'll take as many as you manage to find."
