Before leaving, Director Xiao went to check on the cattle and said to Imperial Doctor Lu and Manbao, "The cattle are entrusted to you. We will come back in two days."
Manbao and Imperial Doctor Lu nodded in agreement.
After seeing off Director Xiao and his party, Imperial Doctor Lu turned to look at Manbao.
Manbao looked at him with confusion, "What's the matter?"
Imperial Doctor Lu said calmly, "Do you know how much a chicken egg procured by the steward costs?"
Manbao thought for a moment and guessed, "Three wen?"
It would be twice as expensive as the most expensive eggs in Luojiang County. That price seems reasonable, right?
Imperial Doctor Lu replied, "No, it started at five wen per egg, and now it's risen to six wen. I heard that eggs in the capital are hard to come by."
Manbao's eyes widened, and her spirits lifted, "Such a profit?"
