“Guest, the two are a little cheaper. This brown horse has a gentle temperament, but it is not as tall as the horse in front. Although it is slower, it is much better than the bullock cart.” Qi San pointed, this horse basically fits the bill
. Zhong Yanyu’s request, but there are also shortcomings. She is indeed a bit ugly. Most of the fur on her body is brown, but there are several pieces that are black, like moss growing on her body.
Zhong Yanyu nodded, then looked at another black horse in the stable, and asked, “What about this batch?”
He saw that this horse was much better than that brown one, but it was kept in the same locker. Horse boy, that means the price between the two horses is about the same.
Qi San said with some embarrassment, “This horse has a strong temper. A customer bought it back earlier, but it didn’t obey the customer’s order and kicked the customer, so it was returned. The racecourse also paid a lot of money to the horse. That guest, I don’t recommend that you choose this horse.”
He saw that Zhong Yanyu had a child with him, if he was injured, what should the child do?
Seeing Gou Zai nestled in the young man’s arms obediently, Qi San felt a little soft-hearted, and didn’t want to hide it from him.
Hearing this, Zhong Yanyu carefully looked at the black horse, and looked at the brown horse next to him, hesitating, “Then what are the prices of these two horses?
” The black one costs 5,550 Wen.” Qi San said, but he felt that Zhong Yanyu was only here to inquire about the price, so he probably didn’t buy it so quickly. Wen.”
A tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper coins, and the two horses are probably more than five taels of silver, but there is a difference of more than 300 taels of silver, Zhong Yanyu is even more entangled.
Earlier, he thought that if the brown horse was cheaper, he would ask for it, but it turned out that the brown horse was more expensive, and the car equipped with it also charged extra.
This carriage cost at least six taels of silver—
Zhong Yanyu sighed slightly, he had only saved thirty taels of silver in the past three years, and spent six taels before leaving.
“Daddy, people like black horses, and brown horses are a bit ugly.” Gou Zai grabbed his father’s waist and said.
He just likes beautiful ones, and this black horse is taller than that brown one!
As he spoke, Little Gou Zai stretched out his hand and hugged the black horse’s head.
The black horse looked at the little thing in front of him, glanced at it, and ignored it, this little thing was not as big as his hoof.
“It’s black, it looks good!” Gou Zai rubbed his cheek against the black horse’s face.
The black horse didn’t resist, since it was still a human cub, it didn’t bother with him.
“Gogou, don’t make trouble, dark horses are too unsafe, shall we buy brown horses? What if there is an accident?” Zhong Yanyu wants to be safe.
Just now Qi San said that there is a precedent for this black horse kicking and injuring a guest. It can be seen that this is a dangerous horse. Although the brown horse is short and ugly, it has a docile temperament. It is safer to buy a brown horse.
“Daddy, but Gou Zai likes dark horses. You see, dark horses are actually pretty good.”
Gou Zai just likes beautiful things, and you see that he just rubbed the black horse’s face, and it is not fierce Gou Zai ?
Thinking of this, Gou Zai tugged at his father’s sleeve, and said coquettishly, “Is it okay to buy a dark horse?”
Zhong Yanyu hesitated because of money. There was a difference of three hundred cash between the two horses. He looked at the black horse, then at In order to look at the brown horse, and it is not early at this time.
They have to rush to the city and there is no time to waste, so he said to Qi San: “Is it okay for me to bring out the dark horse first?” Qi San nodded, “Of course, there is an
open space behind our racecourse, which is specially used A horse trainer.”
He could see that Zhong Yanyu really wanted to buy a horse, maybe he would buy the horse when he came over two or three times, and he would make money by then.
Zhong Yanyu led the black horse out first, he still wanted to buy the horse with less money.
When he reached the clearing, he put down the cubs, then carefully mounted the black horse, tightened the reins, and got off in a circle. The black horse followed his will, without any accidents.
He changed to a brown horse again, but when he sat on the brown horse, he vaguely felt a bit uncomfortable. The brown horse looked sleepy. Even if he tightened the rein, it ran very slowly. When it was wobbling, it was almost like a bullock cart. .
After some comparison, he felt that the dark horse was better, and the little Gouzai ran to the dark horse when he was not paying attention.
The black horse looked at the human cub below, feeling pretty good, lowered its head and rubbed against the little guy.
Gou Zai smiled and hugged the black horse’s face. Zhong Yanyu, who was watching from the side, was terrified, and quickly hugged the little guy after getting off the brown horse.
“Gou Zai, didn’t daddy tell you to be careful? This black horse will hurt people.” Zhong Yanyu couldn’t help but tone a little harshly.
The little milk boy obediently didn’t move, and just said: “Daddy just bought a black horse. The brown horse just now didn’t look good at all, and it walked slowly.” Zhong Yanyu’s heart was also shaken, but later he and Qi
San There is still some haggling to do, but people can’t let people know what they like first.
He had already made a decision in his heart, he pursed his thin lips, and then talked about the price with Qi San, and finally the dark horse and his car had lowered the price to a total of 5,500 Wen and took it down.
“Guest, this is the lowest price I can give you.” Qi San whispered, and it was obvious that Zhong Yanyu wanted to buy it.
“If I can pay all the money today and buy it immediately, can you pay less?” Zhong Yanyu felt that the price could be saved a little, so he asked immediately.
Qi San was stunned for a moment, “You mean to close the deal today? If it can be done today, I can give you another 50 yuan less, but this is really my lowest price. I will give it to you when it opens this month. After paying the money and issuing the ticket, after I install the car for you, you can also ride away as a guest immediately.”
If it can be solved in one go, without so many things behind, it can indeed save a little money.
After all, this horse also needs to eat grass every day, and if they sell it earlier, they can save some money for the racecourse.
This is the boy’s bottom line. Zhong Yanyu looked at the sky and felt that he couldn’t delay, “Well, you can lead me to pay the money. I have to hurry, so hurry up.
” Immediately took someone over to pay the money and get the ticket, “Guests, don’t worry, my hands and feet are the most nimble, and I can finish it immediately within two or three efforts.” Five or six young men watching by the side saw
Zhong Yanyu readily handed over Money, I have some regrets.
If he had known that they would have gone up just now, even if Qi San didn’t make any money on this trip, he would still be able to complete the purchase quota, and get the one hundred cash a month given by the owner of the racecourse.
Zhong Yanyu got into the carriage, although he also chose the cheap one, but fortunately there was a place to shelter from the rain if it rained, he carried the little boy into the carriage first, and then immediately drove the horse to Qinghu City.
He has already planned the route, all the way to the north, it will take more than half a month even if he goes fast, he wants to save some money to stay in Beijing.
Little Gouzai wanted to sit in front of the car with Daddy, looking at the big black horse Daddy bought, with a bright smile on his face, “Daddy is so kind to Gouzai, I finally bought Xiaohei.
” ?” Zhong Yanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the black horse in front of her.
“This big horse is black, so Gou Zai will call it Xiao Hei, Daddy, do you agree?” Gou Zai said excitedly, and sat next to Zhong Yanyu.
While driving the carriage, Zhong Yanyu still had to look after the little baby, fearing that he would fall, so she thought for a while and took a hemp rope, and tied the little guy’s waist with his.
“If Gou Zai wants to go back to sleep in the carriage, remember to tell daddy, and daddy will untie the rope.” Zhong Yanyu instructed worriedly, rubbing the little guy’s head.
The speed of the black horse was indeed faster than Zhong Yanyu thought, they arrived at Qinghu City before dark, and after Zhong Yanyu asked the guards to search him, he drove the horse in.
In recent years, Da Song has also been strict with household registration and customs clearance documents. Generally, people like Zhong Yanyu who do not have household registration need to open another document to verify their temporary identity before they can move around.
His temporary household registration was opened in Weilong Town. At that time, Liu Sanxi was the guarantor for him, and the signature of the village chief was required.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Shen Baozhu forced her to marry, Zhong Yanyu might have stayed in Zhunan Village longer and saved more money to go to Beijing.
When we arrived at Qinghu City, it was almost dark.
Zhong Yanyu planned to rest in the carriage at night. He found a quiet horse farm where the horse carriage could be parked, and paid two cents for the horse parking fee. Many merchants around also planned to rest in the carriage, and the horse farm would also have servants to take care of the horse carriage.
Zhong Yanyu held Gouzai in his arms, found a clean place, and started a fire with pots and bowls. He also picked up some dry branches in the suburbs and put them in the carriage. Now they are just used for cooking.
“Gou Zai, Daddy cook some red bean porridge for you, okay?”
“Okay~” Gou Zai squeezed the things in his hands, and sat beside him to watch the heat for Zhong Yanyu.
Zhong Yanyu’s hands-on ability is quick, and he cooked a pot of hot porridge in a short while, and threw the remaining firewood together to warm his body.
It was cold in the beginning of spring, so Zhong Yanyu picked up some charcoal and put it in the kiln, so that he could neutralize the air-conditioning when he was waiting to go back to the carriage to rest.
The fire was swaying, and a merchant who was eating dry food next to him smelled the sweet smell of the red bean porridge, and felt a little greedy. When he looked at the pancake in his hand, he couldn’t eat any more.
He hesitantly walked to Zhong Yanyu’s side and asked, “Well, can I have a bowl of the porridge you made? I can pay for it.”
Zhong Yanyu raised her head to look at him and smiled, “No, we have already I’m full, I’ve just boiled a bit too much, eat it if you don’t mind.”
The merchant felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and gave Zhong Yanyu some of the pancakes he brought, “This is the pancakes from our hometown. You can also bring some to eat.”
Zhong Yanyu nodded and accepted.
