"Did you ask how much a single sheep approximately costs?" Gu Nian asked him.
Erhu had already found out, "There's a rather fat one, which costs about one tael of silver. Then there's a leaner one, older and with a longer production period, so it produces less milk, priced at about seven hundred copper coins. This was Old Mr. Li's estimated price, but the exact price will only be known when it's weighed."
Gu Nian ran inside the house and came back out with roughly three taels of silver, thoughtfully including some copper coins. She handed it all to Erhu and said, "Second brother, we want to buy the sheep that produces more milk. Check it out, and if there are a couple of suitable ones, buy two. If not, just buy one."
Erhu seemed a bit hesitant, "You're just buying like that? Are you sure you don't need to discuss it with mom and dad?"
He was a bit afraid that when dad came back, his butt wouldn't be safe.
