Chapter 9 Selling Books and Renting a Car

"A thin rod bald brush! A stone inkstone with broken edges! A set of tattered four books and five classics! ”

Annu listened to the pawnshop guy's words singing loudly, at first his face was still plain, but then he turned red, and he was very angry, if it wasn't for Mu Qing to pull him, he would have gone up to beat someone.

Mu Qing knows the rules of pawnshops, no matter how good things are, if they are pawned, they will be broken and broken. It's not a black heart, but because the people who come to pawn things are in a hurry to use the money, and these things are not that they can't be taken back, but they are stored in the pawnshop, and the pawnshop will have a pawn ticket for you, and if you have money on the agreed day, you can redeem it, and even don't charge the difference.

But there is also a risk in doing this kind of trading, if you take something well, you will definitely be responsible for it when you bump it in the pawnshop.

Therefore, they all said that if there is an accident in the future, they can also lose less money, which can be regarded as a means of self-protection.

The pen and inkstone are all good, and there are a few books that are copied neatly, if it is exchanged for silver, it will definitely be more than ten taels, but Mu Qing and Annu only took five taels of silver.

After signing and receiving the pawn ticket and silver, Mu Qing and Annu walked out of the pawnshop with empty boxes.

"That man looked at Dunhou, but he didn't expect to be so black-hearted!" As soon as Annu came out of the pawnshop, he frowned and said, "Master, why did you recognize it?" He's clearly lying to us. ”

Mu Qing smiled: "This is what the pawnshop does, if he gives you silver at the original price, where will he make money?" The two of us are young and can be bullied, if we go to buy it to others, I am afraid that not only will we not get the silver but will also be robbed, rather than taking that risk, it is better to sell it to a pawnshop, so that nothing will go wrong. ”

Anu stopped talking, he knew that what Mu Qing said was the truth. It's just that I feel distressed in my heart, those books are very popular with the master, so I took them with me, but I sold them.

Mu Qing didn't think there was anything, now the main thing to solve is food and clothing, a great man said that the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and only when you are full can you think about those things that you have and don't.

He divided the five taels of loose silver into two parts, one on himself, and the other into Annu's bosom.

Annu was stunned, and then wanted to take out the silver.

"If there's something on the road and one is lost, we'll have another." Mu Qing squeezed Annu's hand, "And I know my own temperament, the most sloppy, but this silver on you is more reassuring than on me." ”

These words warmed Annu's heart, and he pursed his lips, still saying "Why does the master say this about himself", but he didn't take out the silver again, but put it in his arms again.

========================================================================

Yizhou is a difficult economic town, prosperous everywhere, and guest houses are also very expensive.

Mu Qing went to inquire, even the worst place house cost 100 yuan. After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qing made up his mind.

Not only is it expensive to live in, but it can also be troublesome. Tang is a woman, and it may be possible to fool her by himself, but if he doesn't know Mu Andao in front of him, Mu Qing doesn't know if he can bluff him.

Coupled with the poem he inscribed, in order to gag his mouth, Mu Andao couldn't afford to gamble if he did something else.

Taking Annu's hand out of the inn, Mu Qing asked for directions directly and went to the carriage and horse shop.

Because of the rapid development of the economy, traffic naturally has to keep up with the trend, so it gave birth to the carriage and horse shop. Basically, every important town will have a carriage and horse shop, and these carriage and horse shops are under the management of the imperial court, if it is a long-distance transportation, the merchant will have to go out of the car or find a dart bureau, but if it is only a short distance, go to the carriage and horse shop to rent a car, and then return the car and horse after arriving at the destination.

Because these are the properties of the imperial court, they are not afraid that people will steal the car and run away, and the horses are also trained to know the way, and if they are lost, they will run back to avoid greater losses.

And this idea was put forward by Li Qianyu, the sixth son of the emperor.

If it weren't for Mu Qing reading the original book and knowing that this guy was a native of ancient times, I'm afraid he would feel more like a modern person than himself.

Yizhou has a lot of cars and horses, and there are many guys. Mu Qing asked Annu to wait for him in the shade of a tree outside, he took Annu's little blue hat and put it on himself, and then staggered to the carriage and horse shop.

A nine-year-old child was inconspicuous, and besides, there were a lot of people, but the guy didn't notice him.

Mu Qing crossed his hands on his hips, stood in the crowd and shouted: "What about people! That's how you treat your guests! ”

The child's voice was very crisp, but it attracted the attention of a few guys. A young man in a green shirt and a green hat ran over with a booklet, and when he saw Mu Qing, instead of despising it, he stepped forward respectfully and said, "I don't know what to order?" ”

Mu Qing pretended to snort and looked up at the little guy: "Our young lady said that she wants to go to Guizhou to play, so she will leave immediately." ”

When the young man heard this, he looked at Mu Qing's dress, and naturally thought that he was the little guy next to the young lady, so he smiled and said: "We naturally have carriages and horses to Guizhou, but because there have been many things recently, there are a lot fewer carriages and horses......"

"Our young lady is leaving now, and we can't delay." Originally, the expression on Mu Qing's face was a little softer, but after hearing this young man's words, he immediately wrinkled his little eyebrows.

Seeing that he was so busy opening the booklet, the young man hesitated a little after carefully examining it: "There are still three more, one is a wagon that follows the caravan." ”

"No, no, no." Mu Qing was actually quite excited about this, and it was natural for someone to take care of it when he followed the caravan, and it was estimated that it would be very cheap. But he is now a little girl of "Miss Everybody", how can he let his "Miss" make a truck?

"That's it, big car, fleece thickening, shock absorption and decompression......"

"No, no, no." It's so good, it's not worth dying. Mu Qing muttered in his heart, but his face was unhappy, "My young lady is a 'secret' trip!" With such fanfare, it will be discovered. ”

It's still a runaway lady. The young man had a score in his heart, and hurriedly turned to the last page and pointed to a passage on it: "That's it, although the little one is a little smaller, but the absolute old horse, steady and comfortable, and not noticeable." ”

Mu Qing looked at it, and sure enough, it was small, looking at the sketch drawn by the brush, the car pulled behind him was not as big as a horse. But the price is really cheap, fifty wen a trip, this carriage can be used as a portable RV, very cost-effective.

With a plan in his heart, Mu Qing lifted it down: "I'm going to ask my young lady, don't you go." ”

"Done." The young man smiled, and Xindao finally rented out the car.

Mu Qing didn't know what the young man was thinking, so he staggered out the door, and then trotted under the shade of the tree.

Annu was squatting there nervously holding the box, and when she saw Mu Qing coming, she almost rushed over directly. Mu Qing stretched out his hand to support him, and then said in his ear with a smile: "I found a carriage, small, safe, and cheap, only fifty wen!" We'll be able to go today. ”

"Listen to your master." As long as he saw Mu Qing by his side, Annu was satisfied, and his big eyes were full of this little boy, but he didn't listen to what Mu Qing said.

The procedure for renting a carriage is not difficult, because it is a short distance, and there is no need to pay any deposit, and someone will take them to the backyard after giving fifty yuan.

When he saw the carriage, the corners of Mu Qing's eyes twitched.

It's really small and comfortable, the horse looks old and almost breathes, and it doesn't want to go fast, isn't it comfortable?

But Mu Qing still took this car away, after all, renting a car is only limited to distance and time, and it is good to be cheap.
