Chapter 349: Chapter 349 The Dying Man (5)_1

Carrying a full bowl of milky white bone broth, Pei Qin sipped and thought. She definitely needed to prioritize buying goats and drinking goat milk. To grow taller, she couldn’t be lazy! Even if she didn’t have the long legs from her previous life, at least let her grow a little more!

No sooner had the news spread than Lady Zou came over to play with Xiao Xingwang in her arms, saying someone in her maternal family raised goats. She had visited a few days ago, and a nanny goat had just given birth to a kid, leaving them with an ample supply of milk.

Pei Qin took Xiao Xingwang, urging him to call her aunt, and pinched his tender little face, "Then let’s take them! Buy the nanny goat and the kids together!"

"Alright! I’ve got nothing else going on. I’ll ask for you tomorrow, and if the price is right, we’ll have them lead the goats over!" Lady Zou laughed.

Xiao Xingwang clapped his little hands, "Auntie! Goat! Goat!"

"Little lamb!" Pei Qin laughed as she served him some stone-chilled jelly dessert to eat.

Xiao Xingwang climbed down from her lap, insisting on holding the bowl himself.

"You eat like you’re grabbing a meal at a feast!" Lady Zou laughed helplessly.

"That’s the spirit!" Pei Qin fed Xiao Xingwang and coaxed him to talk.

After playing for most of the day, Lady Zou went to her parental home the next, and by that afternoon, Zou Xing brought the goats over with the goat herders. They offered a price lower than others’.

Pei Qin had Pei Qian hand over the silver, and they bought the goats, sending them to the workshop to be looked after by the Sun Quanliang family. They were fed grass, sweet potato vines, wheat bran, and soybean cakes, etc.

Then Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin took on the task of learning to milk the goats. Every day after practicing martial arts, they would come home with a jar of goat milk for the family.

Pei Yuan and the others wouldn’t drink it, disliking the goat milk’s gamy smell.

Pei Qin tinkered with it a bit; the taste of the goat milk was still there, but the Radish siblings didn’t want to drink it. Only Yonglin had tried it before and heard about the benefits of drinking goat milk, so he drank it together with Pei Qin.

Milking twice a day, Pei Qin and Yonglin would finish the morning milk, and in the evening, Pei Qin made sure Pei Yuan, Pei Qian, and Pei Wendong drank theirs. "Drinking goat milk can boost your immune system and make you whiter! Look at how tan you’ve all become this summer, like charcoal!"

All three felt awkward. The eldest sister was really something! To coerce them into drinking goat milk, she actually compared them to charcoal.

The soft are afraid of the hard, and eventually, under Pei Qin’s tyrannical demand... ugh! Under her coercive persuasion, they joined her and Yonglin in drinking the goat milk.

Fang Liuming caught up and wanted a bowl for himself. But he truly disliked it, and after attempting it for the first time, he vomited up his breakfast on his way back to the academy. After three successive vomit sessions, he swore off it for good.

Pei Qin didn’t like it either, but she was used to drinking cow’s milk, so she could handle it. To grow taller, she had to drink it!

With the goat milk issue resolved, Pei Qin finally had some free time to look at Mo Heng’s handwritten character dictionary manuscript.

The small characters were indeed beautiful to look at—skin deep and physique, the superficial details were done so well!

After breaking down the characters by strokes, creating a systematic character dictionary was indeed impressive. He earned his scholarly reputation, as just her few suggestions were turned into a system so detailed it was ready to be printed and sold, which suited them well since they were short on money.

When she suggested this to Mo Heng, his eyes had just been treated with medicine. Despite the initial discomfort, he showed no reaction now. Regarding printing the character dictionary, "Once I can see again, I’ll verify it a few more times." He then asked her, "Should your name be listed? You seem to dislike ostentation."

"Why should my name be listed? To invite trouble?" Pei Qin retorted irritably. Because she was accompanied by a martial arts skilled bodyguard who seemed mismatched to her status, she was almost killed by someone mistaking her for an assassin. "What if people come looking for me to compete in knowledge, could I beat them?" In her previous life, she could compete relying on her father’s influence, but in this life, she could only rely on herself.
