"Alright, sir, rest assured, you won't get shortchanged. I guarantee it..."
Elena patted her ample bosom.
Then he led villagers Dan and Assam out of the grain shop.
He wasn't worried that Elena would cheat him out of his money.
He had already figured out the defense capabilities of Hog Village.
With the power he possessed now, he could easily flatten this village.
In this world, force was everything.
"Axing, are we going to buy dairy cows now?" Liu Muxue asked softly.
Cao Xing nodded, "Yes."
Having just spent thirty thousand on grain, Cao Xing still had about fifty thousand crowns in hand, which should allow him to buy a good number of yaks and sheep.
So, Cao Xing asked, "Dan, how do you go about buying cattle and sheep in your Hog Village? Is there any procedure involved?"
Animals like cattle and sheep were assets of the village, and outsiders like them might need to go through some troublesome procedures to make a purchase.
After speaking, Cao Xing took out ten more crowns from his backpack and handed them to Dan.
Seeing ten more crowns, Dan's face immediately lit up as he happily accepted them.
"Sir, you don't need any procedures to buy cattle and sheep. You just need to find the farmers, agree on a price, and then have the Village Chief approve it."
"I know a few farmers, Geoffrey, Mel, Harden. They all have large herds of yaks, mountain sheep, and big-horned dairy cows..."
"If you need, sir, I can take you there."
Cao Xing nodded, "Take us to see them."
Dan appeared even more enthusiastic.
From his dealings with Cao Xing till now, he had already earned twenty crowns, which was about a week's income for ordinary villagers like him!
Under Dan's guidance, Cao Xing and his group quickly arrived at a three-story house that was more spacious compared to others.
Dan knocked on the door.
A moment later, a voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"Mr. Geoffrey, it's Dan. A few gentlemen from outside want to buy a batch of yaks and sheep from you."
There was a brief silence inside.
Then the door opened, and out came a middle-aged man with a big beard, dressed in loose clothes, his belt undone.
Looking behind him, a woman in her early thirties with a prominent nose was peeking curiously from behind a room door at Cao Xing and the others.
The big-bearded middle-aged man also appeared quite impatient.
Cao Xing's mouth twitched; perhaps they had arrived at a bad time?
"So, are you the ones wanting to buy cattle and sheep?" the big-bearded middle-aged man said impatiently.
Cao Xing nodded, "Yes."
However, the big-bearded middle-aged man waved them off, saying, "Sorry, not doing business today."
He gestured for them to leave, seemingly eager to return to his previous activity.
Just then, he noticed Liu Muxue and Juliette beside her.
Their breathtaking beauty and statuesque figures immediately grabbed the attention of the big-bearded man.
He appraised Liu Muxue and Juliette with a predatory gaze.
The two women visibly felt uncomfortable under his scrutiny.
At this point, Cao Xing pulled Liu Muxue and Juliette's hands, positioning them behind himself.
Liu Muxue remained composed, but Juliette seemed a bit shy, looking down as it was seemingly the first time a strange man had held her hand.
With a smile on his lips, Cao Xing said, "I'd advise you not to stare recklessly, or you might find yourself in quite a bit of trouble."
His tone carried a subtle threat.
The big beard instantly got angry, "What did you say?"
