Mu Yangling gave the shepherd five taels of silver and let him lead them around the various villages. Also, his family had to help them look after the sheep they bought.
The shepherd couldn't ask for more. Without being asked by Mu Yangling, he directly told his family, "I think Miss Mu wants to continue this business for the long term. You'd better attend to her needs seriously. Otherwise, she won't approach me for this job next time."
His family was very proud and happy that he could gain Mu Yangling's trust. Therefore, they patted their chest and promised that they would definitely keep an eye on the sheep and feed them until they were fair and fat.
Then, Mu Yangling herded the mule to pull the cart along, officially beginning the acquisition journey.
