One hundred and fifteen chapters
Let's go to town together. As soon as he entered www.biquge.info the town, Li Quan drove the ox cart to the city gate market near the wharf on the edge of the town, where there were not only livestock for sale, but also many goods brought from other places. Because the big guys have some improper reasons, most of the goods here are in a hurry, and the goods are cheaper than other places.
Hamahama looked left and right, and she was very curious about this place. There are all kinds of things here, like a flea market in the previous life, this kind of place, the best place to dig for treasure. Not only food, clothing, use, and livestock, but also ornamental things such as peacocks and ostriches at home are sold.
Li Quan saw a family by the city gate at a glance, and they had a cart of saplings.
Li Quan pretended to ask casually, "This old brother, what seedlings do you have?" How to sell? The old farmer who was sitting in the car, wearing broken shoulders, rubbed his hands and said: "This is the sapling of the mountain behind the house, all of them are apple trees, how much do you want?" ”
Li Mu thought about it, pulled Li Quan, the two brothers exchanged glances, Li Mu said: "Our children want to eat apples, but there is no silver at home, so it's good to think about planting some to satisfy the children's hunger." My house just has a piece of sand empty this year, I want to buy some, how much do you think? ”
When the old farmer heard that it was just for the children to satisfy their hunger, he thought that he would not buy a lot, and considering that they were all poor children, he couldn't bear to pay a large price, and said, "Thirty dollars a tree." When Li Quan heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I just bought it to quench the thirst of the children, and the thirty yuan is too expensive." Master, you're cheaper. When the old farmer heard this, he cheapened him for five cents. At this time, Li Mudao, everyone in our village has it, and we don't need money, but we have a few acres of empty land, and we want a hundred trees, and we don't want to owe favors, can it be cheaper?
After hearing this, the old farmer happily replied: "Okay, I have more than 200 trees here, and if you want half of them, I will give you a cheaper one, only ten yuan each." ”
Li Quan and Li Mu counted the saplings and settled the bill. Hamahama watched in amazement from the sidelines, no wonder Uncle Kwon and Mu Bo came to buy things together. The two sang and harmonized, and they were stunned and pushed the price down.
Hamin watched Uncle Quan count things, and wanted to take Li Hai's brother around.
Li Zhu saw that there was nothing to do with him here, so he took Binbin and Li Hai to take a look around. For the four people who came for the first time, nothing was also new.
Hamahama looked all the way, and the things here are cheaper than those in the town center, and there are more ornamental things, and there are no particularly cheap things. Neither Hamahama nor Lee Hae-bor had any intention of buying anything.
At a glance, Li Zhu saw a red pony parked by the city gate. Seeing that his eyes were shining, slightly like Binbin's eyes, and looking pleasing, Li Zhu took the four children and stepped forward to ask for the price.
When the seller heard the inquiry, he did not lift his head, and said, "Fifty taels of silver." Binbin said angrily: "Dad, this pony is too expensive for fifty taels of silver." Twenty taels of silver are given overall. ”
Brother Li Hai also agreed, and Li Bo said: "Dad, the calves over there don't need this price." At this price, you can buy a few calves. ”
Li Zhu had never bought a horse, looking at the horse covered in charcoal red, without half a stray hair, the upper part of the horse's nose protruded slightly outward, and the head was slightly like a rabbit, looking strange, he smiled and said: "Look, this horse is not like what it looks like when Hamahama pouted." Brother Li Hai leaned forward to look, and Li Tao looked at it for a while and said, "These eyes are crystal like this, a bit like Binbin's eyes." When Li Zhu heard this, the second son was slightly the same as what he saw, and said with a smile: "Yes." Like Hamahama. ”
Lehi looked at it and said, "It's a bit like, but fifty taels is too expensive." Dad, my mother said when she traveled, the money you have is enough for us to build two houses. How much silver is this fifty taels in your bosom? A small half? ”
After hearing this, Hamahama was pleased that Deng had instilled the concept of silver taels in Lehi before going out.
Hamahama deliberately asked: "Dad, if it's half the money, I'll buy it, and if it's exceeded, forget it." Li Zhu's face was slightly embarrassed, and the horse seller listened to the children's words, raised his head, glanced at the four Li Hai brothers and sisters, and said, "Why do children talk so much." Adults buy things and just stay aside. Don't come here if you don't have money. When you say that, you're ruining my pony. I tell you, fifty taels of silver is not at all expensive. If it weren't for the little old man, I would be in a hurry to use the money, and I wouldn't have paid more than this price. This price is simply not worth this pony. I am a destined person who wants to give a horse to him, and to get a good background for him, and it will not be in vain to waste this pony. ”
After hearing this, Hamahama said angrily: "Ponies are also so expensive, they are obviously bullies." Hamahama looked at the pony, looked at the pair of sparkling eyes, and for a moment there was a little flash, and hurriedly turned his head and glared at the old man who sold the horse.
The horse seller shook his head and said, "What do you know about this little child?" This big horse is untamable, and those who can be tamed are only one in ten thousand. Ponies are also difficult to tame, but they can be tamed by one in a hundred. That's why ponies are expensive. After taming the pony and feeding it, it will have a good foal. ”
After hearing this, Hamahama said disdainfully: "What is so difficult to tame? It's not that it won't let people ride on it. ”
The horse seller proudly said, "Exactly! ”
When Lehi heard this, he said, "If you can't ride it, shouldn't it be cheaper." ”
The horse seller was happy when he heard it, and said: "Where did you come from, Huangkou Xiaoer, go away, don't get in the way of my business." ”
Hamahama circled around the horse and asked, "Old man, you keep saying that this horse is untamable, so it is expensive." If I could ride it, would it be cheaper? ”
When the seller heard this, he said angrily: "If you can ride it, the little old man will only charge you twenty taels of silver, and he will give it to you at the price of an ordinary horse." But if you fall, the little old man will not be responsible. ”
After hearing this, Hamahama nodded and said, "I said I wanted to ride, of course I don't need you to be responsible." ”
After hearing this, Li Zhu hurriedly said: "Nonsense, let's go, let's not buy this horse." "Hamahama is already a strong one, but now he is aroused, where is he willing to leave. The horse seller looked at it and said, "This father, since your daughter wants to try it, let's try it." After all, she is small, and she will be able to get good if she falls. If you don't do anything, you can't grow wise. You can still have some protection on your side. If she hides from you and crawls around on her own, it's a real headache. ”
After Li Zhu heard this, he had to nod. The horse seller was also kind, and beckoned a few adults who were watching the play next to him, and helped protect him next to the pony to prevent Hamahama from falling to the ground. Li Zhu looked at it gratefully and said, "Thank you, old man." ”
The horse seller sighed and said, "Look at you, too, I hurt the child." If it weren't for the fact that my grandson was sick and in dire need of silver, I wouldn't have been willing to sell the horse. ”
Li Zhu asked strangely: "Look at the old man's house is not local." ”
The old man who sold the horse sighed, obviously not wanting to say more. Li Zhu was bored, and it was not good to ask again.
The old man who sold the horse carefully helped Hamahama onto the pony and said, "You hold on to its mane, grasp it firmly, be careful not to fall down." The old man saw Hamahama grabbing his mane before letting Hamahama sit down.
After Hamahama sat down, he accidentally didn't sit still, and the whole person lay directly on the pony's body. The horse only kicked its hooves and stopped moving.
The old man who sold the horse looked surprised, and suddenly smiled: "Twenty taels of silver is twenty taels of silver, you are the master chosen by the pony himself." I won't sell it to you, it won't let it. Li Zhu carefully lowered Binbin from the horse, and hurriedly took out twenty taels of silver to buy the pony.
When Hamahama and Li Hai saw it, they looked at each other and sighed, and they couldn't say anything more.
Li Zhu looked at the four children, and said while settling the money: "Daddy still has some money on him, let's go eat later." ”
The horse seller looked at the four brothers and sisters of Li Hai, waved his hand, and said, "You boys don't know the goods. This horse in my house is the legendary 'Red Rabbit Horse' without a trace of snow, and you can buy it for only twenty taels of silver, which is simply a gift. ”
As soon as Hamahama heard the "red rabbit horse", his mouth opened wide and he didn't close it for a long time. The legend of the "Red Rabbit Horse" is a generation of divine horses everywhere.
Li Zhu said happily after hearing this: "This, it looks a bit similar." Brother Li Hai looked around the horse three times, and finally gave up: "I can't see it." I don't know. ”
The horse seller sighed, packed his things and prepared to go home.
Li Zhu looked at the figure of the old man, and felt that he had made a great advantage from others, so he enthusiastically went over and said: "Old man, I just heard that your grandson is sick, and you don't look like a local, do you need me to take you to show the doctor?" ”
The horse seller shook his head, suddenly thought of something, and cried: "My grandson looks like his time is running out, but I only have one grandson, how can I give up?" ”
After Li Zhu heard this, his eyes were slightly tearful, and he said, "Old man, tell me, what disease does your child have?" Let's figure it out together. ”
The horse seller looked at Li Zhu enthusiastically and said: "My grandson is full of fever, there are red spots on his body, his face is swollen, his lungs seem to be a little swollen, and he has vomiting and diarrhea from time to time. ”
Li Zhu sighed after hearing this, and persuaded the old man to mourn. After hearing this, Hamahama asked, "Grandpa, how old is your grandson?" ”
The old man who sold the horse looked at the girl in front of him, thinking that this was the master recognized by the "Red Rabbit Horse", so he glanced at it and said, "I am seven years old this year." ”
Hamahama thought about it, feeling a bit like measles, but she didn't dare to pack the ticket, she looked at the old man, although he was dressed in tatters, his waist was straight, and he had a bearing in his steps. Hamahama thought for a moment and said, "I just heard what you said, it's similar to the one I read in the book, maybe I have a way, or not." If you don't dislike it, let's take a look. ”
Li Zhu and Li Hai are not surprised after hearing this, Binbin can read, when he copied books at home a while ago, this child did not copy books, just read books on the side and asked questions. It seems that I have learned a lot of things.
The horse seller was extremely surprised to hear this, this child looked like he was a year old, he spoke with a straight head, and he could read, but when he looked at his family, there was no objection on his face, and he knew it. He looked at Binbin's bright eyes and bright teeth, like a little girl next to the statue of Guanyin, and thought of the "Red Rabbit" just now to recognize the master, and said respectfully: "Xie Xiao Bodhisattva, the old man is leading the way." ”
Li Zhu was worried that Binbin had walked a lot today, and he was tired, so he hugged Binbin and asked Li Hai to hold hands, and the horse seller led the pony and walked forward after him.
The five of them did not go far, only walked 300 meters, and at the bend, they saw a tall horse covered in red and rabbit head, pulling a black carriage. (To be continued.) )
