Fairview Nongmen Xiaofu Girl

After buying the land, the family of four left the Yamen.

By this time, the sun was almost setting. It was almost the winter solstice, and it was getting longer and longer. It was getting dark earlier and earlier. When I walked back to the village, it was already dark.

And after the sun goes down, it gets colder and colder, and the north wind blows on people's faces like a knife.

Ruoshui was not afraid of walking at night, but he felt sorry for his wife and daughter, so he asked, "How about renting a carriage and going back?"

Upon hearing this, Ruoxuan said: "No need to rent, let's buy a carriage. I was planning to buy it when I came here!"

Today, she was led by her uncle to ride a horse for a while in the college. It was quite fun, and she wanted to continue riding.

It would be much more convenient if there was a horse at home!
Liu: "."

Is Xuan Bao too good at spending money?
I just spent nearly 2000 taels to buy a large piece of wasteland, and want to buy a horse?
She is still thinking about buying a shop. Does she feel itchy because she has a little money?
Forget buying land and shops, Mrs. Liu thinks there is no need for a horse-drawn carriage: "We don't need to travel far on weekdays. It's not far to come to the county town. It only takes half an hour to walk there. Buying a horse-drawn carriage costs more than 100 taels, which is not cost-effective. . If you want to buy something, it’s enough to buy an ox cart. Buying oxen can also be used to plow the fields.”

Ruoshui: "There is really no need for a horse-drawn carriage. Now that we have more farmland, it would be good to buy two cows. There is someone in the next village who has a calf that has grown up, and I originally planned to buy it."

During the land reclamation period, someone from the next village came to work and brought cattle. He said that his cowboys were almost grown and could be used for plowing the fields, and asked him if he would buy them.

Ruoxuan: "Why isn't it cost-effective? It takes less than a quarter of an hour to get to the city by carriage. The time saved can allow dad to print many more books! Moreover, my brothers are going to the academy to study, so it is convenient to have a carriage to pick them up. Besides, my brothers are going to the academy to study. , We don’t go to far places now, but we will go to far places in the future! Aren’t my second uncle and dad planning to take the imperial examination again? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to take the exam if we have a carriage at home? "

"I bought it now. It has little use. It costs a lot of money to raise horses. Your brother and the others have to live in the academy and can only go home twice every ten days."

"It's more convenient to be prepared and buy early! You don't have to worry about getting wet when delivering goods on rainy days. Won't my father have to deliver books to the academy in the neighboring county in a while? It will be more convenient to have a carriage to go back and forth. And when my brother and the others go to the academy, I will give them to them It's convenient to give you something delicious! And if we buy it now, we can save money on renting a carriage!" Ruo Xuan tried her best to explain the advantages of the carriage.

She figured that if her parents still didn't agree to buy it, she would go into the mountains, bring back a wild horse, tame it, and then ask her third uncle to make a carriage.

It just takes a long time. Third uncle is a little busy and has to prepare to build a house. I don’t know when.

Ruoshui was amused by his daughter's last words, but he thought that the carriage was indeed convenient.

Ruoshui said: "Okay, just buy it! Let's go to the horse dealer and have a look. If there is a good horse, buy it. If not, buy it later. How about renting a carriage and going back today?"

Ruoxuan thought it was feasible, so she nodded her head: "Okay."

Then the family of three changed their route and went to a specialized cattle and horse store in the city, where a whole street was dedicated to selling cattle and horses.

The sun is almost setting, and there are no people on the whole street of the Cow Horse Shop. Many shops have closed, except for the Horse Shop where there are still customers haggling.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu said: "There are only one or two horse racing shops left open, so why don't you come and buy some next time?"

Ruoxuan: "Aren't there two more? Let's take a look first! I have to study tomorrow!"

Ruoshui couldn't bear to disappoint his daughter: "You're here, let's take a look first!"

A family of three walked to the nearest cattle and horse store. The store owner saw them and said enthusiastically: "Sir, do you want to buy a horse or a cow? I have cattle, horses, donkeys and mules! They are all good products that I have selected from thousands of people!" "We I'm here to buy horses, and if I find a suitable cow, I'd also like to buy it." Ruoxuan poked her head around to see if there were any good horses.

Liu: "."

Aren't you here to buy a horse?Why do you want to buy it too?

The store owner's eyes lit up when he heard this: "The horses in our horse shop are all horses from the prairie. We just got a new batch last night, and we sold several good horses today! This guest has also left. There are other horse racing shops, but you should come back to our horse racing shop to buy! Most of the cattle are young and strong cattle! I go to various villages to collect them myself. Everyone who bought them said they are good! You can go in and take a look! "

The customer who was chatting with the store agreed: "His horses are really good, but they are too expensive! Boss, it's almost dark, and other horse shops are closed. If you are cheaper, maybe you can make two even before closing time." Single business!”

There are new customers coming in, and the store owner has no time to deal with it. He just wants to greet Ruoxuan's family quickly. He pretends to look pained and says: "One person gives in! 120 taels, it can't be cheaper! This horse is a grassland horse! Although It’s not a famous horse, but you are discerning, and you picked this one that is still in its prime. It is a grassland horse with good endurance and can run fast. I usually sell old horses for 110 taels! This is a loss for me! All the transportation expenses were spent on it. loss!"

Ruoxuan looked at the horse the other party picked. Although it was several years old, it was indeed good.

Weakzhou also took a look at the horse picked by the other party, and could tell at a glance that it was Shandan horse.

The Shandan horse is a horse breed that can be used for both riding and pulling, and is suitable for both riding and pulling. It has excellent carrying performance, strong endurance, and is resistant to extensive breeding.

In a word, it is easy to maintain and easy to use.

Moreover, this Shandan horse belongs to middle-aged and elderly people. It is worth 120 taels, so it is definitely not expensive to buy.

The man also knew a lot about horses. He just wanted to make it cheaper, but 120 taels was the price in his mind. He muttered: "It can't be cheaper!"

Even so, he still took out the banknote that he had prepared long ago.

The shopkeeper happily took the money, and then pointed to the shop opposite where he bought carriages, saddles and other accessories: "Brother, I also open the shop opposite. If you want to buy a carriage or saddle, where can you buy it? My wife See if you buy my horse, it will definitely be cheaper for you! You won’t be able to find anything that cheap in the entire county!”

The man was buying a carriage for business, so he walked over after hearing this.

Ruoxuan praised: "Boss is really good at doing business. You have taken care of everything! After we buy the horses, we are also going to buy a carriage! You can make it cheaper for us!"

Ruoshui added: "Yes, if you like a horse and the boss's price is fair, we will buy it together!"

"I am absolutely fair in business! I am fair and honest. I can do the best on this street. I also opened a carriage shop opposite. It is because I am an honest person in business and the horses I sell are good. There is a saying. , I will never deceive anyone. Many customers are introduced by regular customers. Come, come, you will know after you have seen my horses. I have quite a lot of horse breeds here, in addition to Shandan horses."

The family of three followed the owner of the horse shop as they walked inside, looking at the horses locked in the stables.

Ruoxuan took a casual look and saw a horse lying listlessly on the hay in a stable in the corner.

Ruoxuan's eyes lit up, she pointed directly at the horse and said: "Boss, how much does that horse cost?" (End of Chapter)
