Tang Mingrui had originally planned to stay at the Mo Family for one day. At this time, people were at home celebrating the New Year. He didn't have much business to attend to, so it was a rare leisure time most suitable for visiting friends and relatives.
However, after taking stock of those cold rabbit dishes, he couldn't sit still. He wanted to transport those cold rabbit dishes into the city before noon to sell more silver during the New Year.
He called Tang Mingxin to leave together. Unexpectedly, when Tang Mingxin came out from Mo Hanyue, she was actually hugging a furry thing that looked bigger than a puppy.
The fur on the furry thing was long. Its ears were also drooping on both sides of its head because they were too long. If the rabbit had not moved, Tang Mingrui would have thought it was a new kind of doll made by the Mo Family again.
Tang Mingxin hugged the Angora lop rabbit with a smile that made her eyes curve.
"Big brother, look, Sister Hanyue gave me a big treasure."
Tang Mingrui had long been attracted by the fluffy furry thing in his sister's arms. He went over to take a look and asked, "Is this a rabbit?"
Tang Mingxin nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's Sister Hanyue's darling. She generously gave me one."
Tang Mingrui knew that the Mo Family raised rabbits. He had also followed to the backyard rabbit shed to take a look before, but those were just more good-looking than common wild rabbits, and had no comparability with this one at all.
If it was said that this rabbit was also used to eat meat, Tang Mingrui would definitely not believe it.
He knew that the rabbits raised by the Mo Family were all taken care of by Auntie Jiu, so he asked He Zhiran:
"Auntie Jiu, did you raise this rabbit too?"
He Zhiran had originally planned to talk about the Angora lop rabbit business after the New Year. After all, those newborn baby rabbits were still very small, and they would have to be weaned for at least some time.
What she didn't expect was that the Angora lop rabbit that Mo Hanyue had always treasured, she would so generously give someone one today.
Since Tang Mingrui had already seen it, she simply explained,
"This is called an Angora lop rabbit. The prototype of the ornaments we make is this breed of rabbit. This kind of rabbit has a cute appearance and is very friendly. It is more suitable as a pet."
After listening to He Zhiran's explanation, Tang Mingrui carefully took the Angora lop bunny from his sister's hands and examined it carefully.
Not to mention the peculiar figure of the Angora lop rabbit. Just based on this silly cute appearance, even he, a grown man, liked it very much.
If such rabbits were sold on the market, the proceeds would surely be considerable.
Of course, such business would still have to find wealthy buyers.
"Sister-in-law Mo, do you sell such rabbits?"
"Sell, of course they will be sold." He Zhiran answered very directly.
Hearing such an answer, it seemed that Tang Mingrui could already see countless banknotes flying towards him.
He remembered that when he was young and went to Jiangnan for business with his father, a wealthy family had raised one or two white long-haired cats with different colored eyes. It was said that because the cat had a special appearance and was extremely rare, the wealthy man had spent thousands of gold to buy it.
Although this was just a rabbit, its appearance was absolutely comparable to that cat.
If he could meet a buyer who really valued it, he didn't dare to guarantee that he could sell it at the sky-high price of thousands of gold, but thousands of silver should not be a problem.
Of course, such business would still have to find wealthy buyers.
"Auntie Jiu, can you give me one or two of these rabbits to bring with me? After the fifth day of the new year, I plan to go to the prefecture to find wealthy buyers."
Hearing Tang Mingrui mention wealthy buyers, He Zhiran had already guessed that he intended to sell the rabbit at an astronomical price.
In this regard, she had to support it wholeheartedly.
However, He Zhiran agreed with the idea in her heart that Angora lop rabbits were going to be sold as pets.
Keeping pets is different from buying other goods. Many people like to raise them from a young age so that the feelings between humans and pets can become increasingly profound.
Not to mention that Mo Hanyue had always raised these Angora lop rabbits as treasures, so she must have deep feelings for them. If those adult rabbits raised for a few months were taken out to exchange for money, the little girl would surely feel bad.
With this thought in mind, He Zhiran explained, "There are not many such rabbits in our family at the moment, and many have already given birth. It is estimated that in another twenty days, those baby rabbits can survive independently. Brother Tang, why don't you consider selling the baby rabbits directly at that time? I feel that would be more acceptable to people."
When she mentioned the baby rabbits, Tang Mingxin suddenly became all smiles. She had just witnessed how cute they were at Sister Hanyue’s place earlier.
Then she gave her elder brother a vivid description of how cute those baby rabbits were.
"Brother, you didn't see that those baby rabbits were all white, each one like a little meatball. If Sister Hanyue wasn't worried that those rabbits were too small and I wouldn't be able to raise them, she would have definitely given me a baby rabbit."
After listening to his sister's description, Tang Mingrui was even more tempted.
"Auntie Jiu, can I see those little rabbits?"
No matter what, he had to see what these little rabbits looked like clearly. Even if he couldn't do the business immediately, at least when he met rich people in the future, he could describe it.
It seemed that Mo Hanyue must have heard the movement outside. As soon as Tang Mingrui finished speaking, she walked out holding a baby rabbit.
"Brother Tang, please take a look. This is an Angora lop baby rabbit."
Such a ball of white cuteness made Tang Mingrui’s heart melt.
"This little guy is really cute."
When it came to her rabbits being cute, Mo Hanyue’s pretty tail was about to curl up to the sky.
"Of course, I take good care of them."
Seeing the girl's naughty appearance, Tang Mingrui suddenly felt that she was cuter than the little rabbit.
Unconsciously, he was somewhat stunned.
He Zhiran noticed Tang Mingrui's abnormality at a glance. She coughed lightly to remind, "Brother Tang, these rabbits can be sold in twenty days after giving birth."
Tang Mingrui also regained his inappropriate thoughts and said solemnly, "Okay, twenty days later, I’ll come to pick up the Angora lop rabbits."
The miniature lop rabbits bred a batch as well, just that the time period was shorter, and the little rabbits still couldn't handle the wind, so she let Mo Hanyue hold an adult one for Tang Mingrui to see.
The lovely appearance of these two kinds of rabbits completely subverted Tang Mingrui's cognition.
The big ones looked like puppies, and the small ones were only a little bigger than a palm. This was simply too cute.
"Auntie Jiu, I will definitely sell these rabbits at a price that satisfies you."
Even without Tang Mingrui saying this, He Zhiran was very clear in her heart. After all, it was not the first time the two had worked together on business.
Especially for He Zhiran, who didn't understand business operations, she thought very highly of Tang Mingrui's business talent.
"Alright, just sell them according to your plan when the time comes. I'm responsible for providing the rabbits."
Of course, the male Angora lop rabbits and male miniature lop rabbits she decided to sell could only be sold. The females could not be sold, and care had to be taken to prevent them from leaking out.
This was the only way to avoid others taking them to breed and compete with her business.
