Hu Chun did some mental calculations. Beef before the disaster was 30 coppers per pound, and a cow would at least weigh 1,000 pounds.
Although it could only produce 500 pounds of meat at most, the bones, blood, and lard were more than enough. 20 taels of silver per head was relatively cheap, judging by that.
It was the same for the sheep.
Therefore, the price she offered was the price before the drought.
"Thank you so much, Manager Zhou. I'll have to trouble you to slaughter a cow today." He nodded and gave his confirmation.
After that, he handed her two ingots worth one tael each.
"Come with me to the manor."
After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she locked up and brought Er Zhuang to the manor.
She went to find Uncle Nian and requested that he help pick a fat and strong cow that weighed about 1,000 pounds and slaughter it.
He also processed the cow blood and oil for them.
