Chapter 139 Inquiring About the Price
Yuan Zhen saw that she started to bite the chopsticks again, her expression was tangled, and she was even more puzzled, "Daughter-in-law?"

"Ah? By the way, how about, don't buy meat, we make vegetarian dumplings, and there are leeks in the backyard."

Yuanzhen smiled softly, "Daughter-in-law, since you came here, I haven't eaten meat for you. It's time to buy some meat today."

"Then, that's fine." Tian Mi felt a little relieved.That's right, it's not that she eats alone, when the time comes, she will say that Yuan Jie's body needs to be nourished, and it will be better to push it to Yuan Jie's head.

The two of them ate a bowl of hot scallion noodles happily, but now that the weather is hot and it's noon, after eating a full stomach, they are hot and lazy, Tian Mi lay on the table with her head on her hands and didn't want to move at all.

Yuan Zhen looked fondly at her blank eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Daughter-in-law, you rest here, I'll go buy some rice noodles and meat, and some medicine, and I'll be back in a while."

"Still buying medicine, didn't I say..."

"Mother gave me the money, so I have to buy a few doses to deal with it."

"That's right, then don't buy vegetables, there is enough food at home."

"Okay, daughter-in-law, I'm leaving." Yuan Zhen said, got up and gave the noodle stall owner twenty Wen, then looked back at Tian Mi, turned and left.

Tian Mi watched him striding into the crowd, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, "I'm really not afraid of me running away."

At this time, the owner of the stall came to collect the bowls, and when he heard her say, he laughed out loud, "Girl, you are a good-looking man and can work, why are you running away? There is no such shop in this village, you What else can you find?"

Tian Mi raised her eyebrows and looked at the owner of the noodle stall in surprise, but soon lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "The boss is right, I made money by marrying such a husband."

"Yes."

Tian Mi smiled, lay down on the clean table, and lazily waited for Yuan Zhen.

Waiting and waiting, she suddenly thought of the business of soliciting customers that she mentioned when she came here, and she thought to herself, if it is hard to come out, she must first inquire about how much money she needs to invest, so that she can have a goal in the future.

So, she started chatting with the noodle stall owner.

"Boss, do you know that there are horse sellers in the town?"

While cooking, the owner of the noodle stall replied: "Yes, the nearby villagers often come to the town to sell their own horses, and there are also special resellers. It is at the livestock market at the west end of the town. Girls can go and see it later. look."

Tian Mi thought about it, she had been out for a long time because she was selling Baihua crisps, and if she continued to babble, it would be noon when she got home, and Mrs. Li must be noisy again.

"I won't go today, I just want to know how much it costs."

"Oh, this is not certain, it depends on whether the horse is good or not." The noodle stall owner was also quite chatty, and actively introduced to her, "But girl, when you go to sell horses, remember not to shout loudly, and compare prices quietly. , otherwise it will be difficult for you to buy it."

"why?"

"It's hard to say the price of a horse. There is a big difference. If the price is made public, people will talk about it. If you don't understand it, it will be difficult to make a decision."

"That's true, but boss, the average horse has a similar price."

"You need at least twenty taels for one horse."

"What?!" Tian Mi was taken aback, it was more expensive than her!

"But there are also foals under twelve."

Tian Mi was very unhappy. No matter what she thought, she was no match for a horse. Look at her underdeveloped body, isn't it the price of a pony?
Suddenly very restless.

"However, girl, why do you buy horses? Horses are not as good as donkeys for farm work. They eat a lot and are good, so they are not easy to raise."

Tian Mi raised her eyebrows, yes, horses are considered a luxury in the countryside, so I don't know if the Li family can pass the test.sigh.

"No, boss, I bought a horse to let it run away."

"Why do you have to let the horse run? The same goes for the donkey. It can still work. What a bargain."

Tian Mi doesn't want to say anything more. She really has to think about this issue. In fact, to put it bluntly, the family needs a donkey to do the work. The wheat is harvested immediately to plant corn and beans, and they are not allowed to plow the land. Just pointing at Yuan Zhen makes it suitable. ?How tired she is, she also feels distressed.

"The donkey is cheap, isn't it?"

"Donkeys must be much cheaper than horses. There are seven or eight hundred cash, and the better ones are one tael."

Tian Mi nodded knowingly. In this way, donkeys are much more cost-effective. Compared with farmers, donkeys can run and do farm work. They eat less and are easy to feed.She can't compare with Liu Yunhua, who is a wealthy family.

Even if you are doing business, you don't need to invest such a large amount of capital all at once. Let's try it with a donkey first?

"Hey, boss, where can I buy that carriage, is it expensive?"

The boss looked at her, "Girl, it's a good deal to make the carriage yourself."

Tian Mi looked down at herself, because she was too shabby, the boss was considerate and gave her the most affordable ideas.

"Thank you for the reminder, boss, that's right, the mountains are full of wood, so you can't spend money." It's best to minimize the cost of doing business, but the effect must also be considered.Fortunately, rural people don't pay too much attention, so she just needs to let Yuanzhen make it big and spacious, and make it more comfortable inside.

Well, that's it, use a donkey instead of a horse, and make a carriage by yourself. In this way, she can start a business first with her economic conditions. Gradually, if she has money and the business of soliciting customers is OK, she will change the horse, and everything will be easy to talk about.

She pondered over and over again in her heart, waiting and waiting, it felt like a long time, Yuan Zhen finally came back.

"Daughter-in-law! Just wait!"

"Huh? What about the things you bought?" Tian Mi saw that his hands were empty, but his head was sweating profusely.

"I've already found a donkey cart, and put them all on the cart, let's go, I'll wait."

"Okay!" The two of them quickened their pace and walked to the outskirts of the town, where donkey carts and ox carts pulled people from time to time.

Yuan Zhen took her to a donkey cart and helped her into the cart.

Tian Mi looked at the donkey cart carefully as she got into the car, and after Yuan Zhen sat on it, she whispered to Yuan Zhen: "Look carefully at his car, learn it, and see if you can make it yourself when you go back." Come out with one."

Yuan Zhen was slightly shocked at first, but immediately understood what she meant, so he nodded and looked around.

Tian Mi took a break and began to look at the things Yuanzhen bought.I saw next to them, in addition to a bag of noodles, there was also a basin, which contained all kinds of scraps, meat, salt, and tofu, and a few packets of medicine.

Tian Mi immediately remembered that she had smashed a washbasin before, and she had forgotten about it, but Yuan Zhen remembered it and bought one back.At that time, she promised Li Shi another compensation.

"Yuanzhen," Tian Mi patted him, "Thank you."

"What?" Yuan Zhen turned around in a daze.

Tian Mi smiled at him softly, "You bought me a basin for me."

Yuan Zhen also grinned, "There's nothing to be thankful for."

That's right, husband and wife, what are you thankful for?However, she is also very grateful to have such a husband who always takes her affairs to heart.

Although the two were slower in the donkey cart, it was much better than the bullock cart.This way, Tian Mi carefully verified that the donkey cart is feasible.

When we returned to Shahe Village, it was already afternoon. Some villagers were weeding in the fields, and some were resting at home. The village was quiet.

When the two entered the house, the house was also peaceful.

Yuanzhen put all the materials where they should be in the kitchen, washed his face, and went to the main room to report.

Tian Mi first put the cut cloth into the house, and after seeing that she liked it, she opened it again to appreciate it.Then I heard Mrs. Li complaining loudly in the main room, "What did you do? You have been here for a long time! You don't need to work?!"
