Chapter 32 Buy, buy, buy!
After lunch was settled by buying and eating all the way, Wen Yu returned to the Gujia grain store.

The clerk in the morning sat on the chair boredly, and when he saw the figure of the customer entering the store, he stood up to entertain without rushing.

"How much do you want? Old rice is 250 Wen per bucket, new rice is 280 Wen per bucket, beans are 25 Wen per bucket, millet is 22 Wen per bucket."

Seeing the guest's appearance clearly, although there was no obvious change on the waiter's face, the corners of his eyes were still drooping indistinctly.

It's the little girl in the morning!

You can buy a bucket of millet at most.

Those who open a grain store like this are usually big local merchants behind them, or have collusion with the government, so they often look arrogant. Like the Gujia grain store, they just mutter in their hearts, but their attitude is still not good. It's not cold, but it's not bad.

Wen Yu still remembered the total amount of grain that the whole village needs to buy according to Xu Laoer's statistics, and said.

"I want 10 shi of old rice, 10 shi of new rice, 5 shi of beans, and 5 shi of millet."

"Come and pick it up at noon tomorrow, can you?"

The grain store clerk was taken aback for a moment, as if he suspected that he had heard wrong, or that the little girl was teasing him, so he blinked.

Facing Wen Yu's serious questioning expression, the clerk trembled, realizing that this was not a joke, and he heard it right.

"A total of - 55 taels and 350 wen."

The clerk quickly calculated the food that Wen Yu ordered, and his attitude was a little more serious, but he didn't ask too much about what the little girl who seemed to be from an ordinary family was doing with so much food.

It is a good thing that someone spends money on food.

"You have to pay 30 taels as a deposit first, and pay the rest when you check out tomorrow."

"no problem."

Wen Yu took out 30 taels of silver from the money bag on her waist, scattered, big and small, all given to her by everyone in the village.

"Okay! Here is the note, please keep it. At noon tomorrow, use this note to pick up the goods."

Seeing Wen Yu's daughter's family come to buy food, the clerk reminded him again.

"There is a lot of food, remember to bring a few more cars when you pick up the goods tomorrow, and ask a few people to help pull them back."

"Thank you."

Wen Yu glanced at the guy who still had no expression on his face, put away the credentials, and thanked him.

After solving the grain problem, Wen Yu left the grain store.

Go straight south along Yulin Lane for a while, and enter a street that runs east-west. Along the way, the number of people wearing brocade clothes has decreased significantly to almost none, but there are more common people.

This street is also called Livestock Street, because most of the businesses related to livestock are on this street, and most of them are livestock trading.

This is what Wen Yu found out when chatting with the owners of various snack bars during lunch.

The largest livestock trading area is at the east end of the street, and the closer you get, the stronger the smell of the animals, mixed with the smell of grass and manure, drowning the crowd.

Wen Yu didn't know much about how to select livestock, but she knew that it wouldn't be too bad if there were more people buying them, so she followed the crowd to the one with the most people.

There are the most donkeys and mules, and most of the cows are young or old. Cows in the prime of life are the treasures of the farmers. Unless they are in a hurry to spend money, they are reluctant to sell them. Once someone sells them, they are also very popular.

Wen Yu didn't speak, and just listened to the people in front of him arguing with the owner (whispering about the price).

"This donkey costs 15 taels. If it is missing, it will not be sold."

"No, look at your donkey's teeth are not even, and its hair is not shiny, it looks like it will get old after a few years of work, it's as good as ten!"

"You said five taels in one breath, is your guest sincerely looking for trouble?"

"No way! I really want to buy this donkey because I really like it. Otherwise, I won't be willing to buy a donkey that won't last for a few years!"

"At least 14 taels, it can't be lowered any more."

"Hey—look, I just came from the previous family. Their donkey has just grown up and its coat is so shiny that it only sells for 15 taels. Your old donkey only sells for 14 taels. Isn't it too expensive!"

"Then what price do you say? Ten taels is definitely impossible!"

"In this way, we both make a concession, how about 11 taels and five dollars?"

"No, no, it's too low. My donkey is delicious, strong, and willing to work. The price is too low."

"Okay, I'll raise it by another five cents, 12 taels, how about it? If I don't agree with this, I won't buy it no matter how much it suits my eyes."

"All right, all right, 12 taels."

The host shook his hand, seemingly reluctantly accepting the price, and the guest, with a smile on his lips, readily took out 12 taels of silver to settle the payment on the spot.

The silver and the goods are finished.

Both of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Wen Yu: I have learned it.

After the guests left, Wen Yu leaned forward and asked.

"How do you sell your donkey?"

"15 taels! No bargaining!"

"."

Seeing the resolute look on the master's face, Wen Yu had nothing to say.

You were not like this just now!
"What about the mule?"

"20 taels."

After watching the price bargaining, Wen Yu was also eager to try it, and wanted to try it with her own ability.

She thought about it, bargaining is a process of psychological see-saw between the two parties, the previous person quoted [-] taels at the beginning, it should be around the lowest reserve price of the owner's house, so she can grind it up and increase the deal by [-] taels.

"How about 12 taels?"

"Girl, are you kidding me? I can't even buy an old mule for 12."

The master's expression was exaggerated. Seeing that Wen Yu was a little girl, he wanted to take the opportunity to make more money.

"20 taels, no bargaining!"

Wen Yu didn't care what the master said, no counter-offering, but analyzed it carefully.

"Think about it, I don't buy one, I want to buy five, 12 two lines, okay?"

Hearing the quantity Wen Yu said, the owner's eyes moved. Don't think there are many people wandering around here. He usually sells two horses a day, but most of them just want to catch a leak.

"Little girl, it's not that I don't want to lower the price, but you see, I raise them up and feed them with fodder every day. Once they lose weight, the price will drop sharply, and they will not be sold. In addition, some mules are also bought from others. It’s collected there, 12 taels really won’t work.”

The little girl's family is thin-skinned and soft-hearted, so it should be easier to talk.

The master thought about it, but Wen Yu didn't change his face.

"It's not my reason. I've also inquired about the same mule. Others sell it for 18 taels at most. It's still a young adult and can work for a long time. It's not kind of you to buy it for 20 taels as soon as you come up."

Wen Yu pretended to be proficient in this way, stroking the fur of the mules, looking at their teeth and hooves, with a thoughtful face.

She entered this house as soon as she came, so she didn't know the price of other houses.

The master didn't know Wen Yu's details, and felt a little guilty when he saw this, and couldn't help but start to back down.

The momentum of offense and defense changed immediately.

"Then what price do you say?"

The scene of deja vu started again, Wen Yu was happy in her heart, but her face was still tense.

"Well, I'll make a concession, 13 taels, I want five horses, how about it?"

The master made a quick calculation in his mind and gritted his teeth.

"14 taels, this is the lowest price, you must buy five horses together!"

Wen Yu pretended to be thinking, and the owner at the side felt uneasy. Seeing Wen Yu's silence for a long time, he thought that he couldn't give up the business to others, so he was cruel enough to give up another money.

"13 taels, it can't be any lower!"

"Deal! I'll pick it up tomorrow at noon."

Wen Yu readily agreed that it would be too late for the master to repent, so he had to write a note angrily and ask Wen Yu to come and pick it up tomorrow.

"Pay half the deposit first."

After paying the deposit, Wen Yu put the note into the storage bag and put it together with the grain note.

Among the five mules, four belonged to the public, and one was bought by Chen Dati through Wen Yu.

As for the things that need to be bought in the city this time, Wen Yu has a small notebook in his mind to record, draw half a tick on the mule cart, and the remaining half has to go to the cart dealer.

She just asked, there is no cart board here, only a single mule, if you want to pull something, you have to go to the cart dealer to buy it.

Because there are a lot of livestock sellers in this area, the car dealership is nearby. Wen Yu saw the place responsible for the car boards in a blink of an eye after buying the mules.

Speaking of which, Cui Er can also make the car board, but now they are all outside the city and have no materials on hand, so they can only spend some money to do it in the city, and it will be convenient to fetch food tomorrow.

If it is not necessary to buy mules, Wen Yu can actually use the storage bag to carry the grain away, which is more convenient. Unfortunately, the storage bag cannot hold live animals, so it can only be carried away in a mule cart.

The car dealership seems to be related to the livestock dealership. When he heard that Wen Yu bought the mule from Sun's family, the craftsman offered to lower the price, and said that the car board can be finished today, and when the mule is brought in tomorrow, it will be ready in a quarter of an hour. Installed.

No wonder the Sun family's business is booming, it turned out to be a one-stop service.

Wen Yu paid the deposit again, five car boards, plus wheels, a total of five taels.

The money in his hand is getting less and less, Wen Yu doesn't care, and only earns if he knows how to spend. The life of their group will get better and better.

As for the next step - or buy buy buy!

Wen Yu has turned into a ruthless purchasing agent, shuttling through the city according to the lists given by various companies.

Tamura Changjia: All kinds of seasonings come in one serving.

Cui Xing: Ms. Wen, I don't quite understand. My family will buy whatever the Xu family buys.

Wang Lang (barefoot doctor): Ms. Wen, I hope to buy as many herbs as possible on the list.

Mrs. Tian: Miss Wen, what, I told you secretly, can you go to the city and help me pull the cloth?A lot of clothes were worn out along the way, and I wanted to cut a new piece of clothes for the master.

Wei Xiaoman: Seasoning!Meat!fruit!Buy some!
Xu Lao Er: Miss Wen, please go to the bookstore to buy some pens, ink and paper. I am in a hurry and there are not many papers. If possible, ask Miss Wen to buy a few more books. "Thousand Characters" is good. I plan to teach my family Children's literacy.

The fifty square meters of the storage bag don't seem to be very large.
-
The tall and straight peaks tower into the clouds, the lush trees give the mountains new summer clothes, and there are birdsong in the sky from time to time.

A group of about four or fifty cavalrymen passed by, but they were not in the mood to appreciate the sight.

The horses under them are smooth and have a vigorous pace. Everyone is wearing light armor and looks serious, but judging from the formation, they are still a little messy. It seems that they set off in a hurry and did not have time to cooperate.

The leader had a green beard one foot below his chin, a jujube-like complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a spear on his back with a sharp and sharp tip, which made him look cold even under the scorching sun.

"This group of hozen actually cleaned up the traces, which made Grandpa and I find the wrong way!"

He cursed, but no one behind him dared to respond.

"Let your grandfather waste all these days in vain. When I catch up, you will fall into my hands, and you will be smashed to pieces."

He suddenly shouted.

"Hurry up, we must find them tomorrow, and don't let those little thieves enter the city!"

The soldiers behind finally broke the silence and responded in unison.

"Yes!"

The sun was getting lower and lower, and the green hills were speechless, only listening to the sound of horseshoes like beating drums, walking towards the direction of Yanmen City on the ancient road.
