Chapter 11: Shopping When You Have Money 2

Like the quality of horses mainly depends on these aspects:

(1) Torso: There should be no edema in the chest, abdomen and other places. Examination of the nails, back, waist, buttocks, chest, ribs, membranes, cheeks, and reproductive organs. Raise the tail to inspect the tail force, anus, and back line, and the left and right waist solutions are symmetrical. If the back and waist are bulging and stiff, they often suffer from different degrees of rheumatism; The obvious depression of the cheeks indicates that the muscles and ligaments are underdeveloped and lack durability; If the abdomen is strongly curled, it means that the amount of food is small, the fat fetish is poor, or there is a nutritional disorder.

(2) Limbs: Touch the front of the left forearm with your hand, and then check the knee, ball joint and tendon backwards to see if the limbs are damaged, lift the forelimbs, check the lower hooves and the state of the hooves, check the knees of the forelimbs, the ball joints and the hind limbs flying joints, ball joints, etc., compare the internal and external, front and rear contours, and prevent injuries such as internal and external lumps, phalangese osteomas, tubular osteomas, bulb joint swelling, bulbar tendon swelling, elbow swelling, tendon hypertrophy, cracked hooves, and hoofs.

(3) Gait: lead the horse to walk slowly, look at its gait from the front, side and back, the state of each part when walking, observe the softness and hardness of the head, neck and waist, whether there is lameness, protrusion, chasing protrusion, etc. The hind hoof of the horse, which is full of physical strength and fast running speed, exceeds the front hoof stride.

Although this old horse looks old, it is actually in the prime of life, but it is not taken seriously and looks particularly unenergetic.

And this old horse has the quality of these good horses, but he is still so haggard, I think it is indeed this trader who does not know how to distinguish the quality of the horse.

I called the vendor to me and asked the price of a few horses next to me, and these horses were all numbered one, two, three, four, five, and I liked the number five.

"Boss, please quote me the price of these five horses, and by the way, even the carriage will be quoted."

The trader originally looked at Tian Tian and his wife studying horses there, but he didn't care, who knew that Tian Tian actually asked him to quote the price, and immediately thought, could it be that he had lost his eyes, this couple is rich?

Thinking about it, he hurriedly ran to Tian Tian and hugged his fists and said: "The little one is Zhao Si, who specializes in selling carriages and horses here, I don't know what to call this lady and master?" ”

I thought that this vendor was really funny, he ignored the two of us just now, and now his posture is so low.

"Boss Zhao is polite, the little woman's surname is Tian, and my husband's surname is Wang."

Zhao Si respectfully glanced at the couple who might bring him money. Seeing that Tian Tian was always talking, it was Tian Tian who wanted to take care of the money.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Tian and Master Wang, it's an honor to meet the two, the little one will quote the price for the two, and the two of them will listen first."

"Okay, Boss Zhao, you can quote"

"Well, this No. 1 horse and carriage are ten taels of silver, and I think the two of them can also see that this horse is very energetic and clean;

The No. 2 horse and the carriage are eleven taels of silver, and the two of them can also see that this horse is more energetic than the No. 1 horse just now;

Horses No. 3 and No. 4 and carriages cost the same as Horse No. 1, and they were all ten taels of silver;

As for the last No. 5 horse and carriage, it is also ten taels of silver, including the two pony cubs of this horse, I don't know which horse and carriage the two of them fancied? ”

I glanced at the five horses, "Boss Zhao, I don't know why the No. 5 horse is an old horse and the price is so expensive, isn't it a little unreasonable." ”

Zhao Si glanced at Tian Tian, thinking that this Mrs. Tian seems to be also a bargain.

"Mrs. Tian, this horse is indeed an old horse, but this horse also gave birth to two pony cubs, which is equivalent to three horses and ten taels of silver in the carriage, and the price is already very cheap."

"Boss Zhao, although it is said that it is three horses, it is an old horse that looks like it is dying, and two ponies who still need to be fed to grow up, the old horse doesn't know if it can be used for a year, and the pony needs to be raised for a few years before it can be used."

As soon as Zhao Siyi heard this, he got it, and it was no fun to want to kill the wronged head.

"Since Mrs. Tian said so, I think I also took a fancy to these three horses and buy a car, and the villain also wants to do this business, I want to ask Mrs. Tian at what price she wants to buy these three horses and horses, tell me, I see if I can sell them to you?"

"Well...... Boss Zhao, since you said so, I said that I bought it at the price of six taels of silver, how about it. "Actually, the price in my heart is eight taels of silver, after all, it is three good horses.

"Mrs. Tian, you are really joking, it is absolutely impossible for three horses to pay six taels of silver, you see that you can add one or two taels of silver, seven taels of silver, and now you can drive these three horses and carriages away, and I will give you four more stools and pots for horses to eat forage."

In fact, when Zhao Si bought these three horses, it was four taels of silver, and Mrs. Tian said that he had almost agreed to six taels, but he wanted to try to report one or two more.

"Okay, seven taels is seven taels, we bought it, and Xianggong gave Boss Zhao money." I looked at my husband, who still didn't speak from beginning to end, and asked him to pay.

After Wang Da paid the money, I took the reins in Zhao Si's hand and got into the carriage to see if there was anything to be delivered, and saw that there were indeed four stools and a big horse basin in the carriage, and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhao Si taught Wang Da and I how to control the carriage, and then I picked up the two ponies and put them in the carriage to buy cloth and rice, noodles, soy sauce, vinegar and other spices.

"Mrs. Tian, Master Wang go slowly, next time I buy a carriage, I will come back Zhao Si to give two discounts." Zhao Si looked at the God of Wealth couple and shouted with a smile.

I responded: "Boss Zhao, I will definitely come to you next time I buy a carriage, and we will have a date later." ”

"Okay, I will meet Mrs. Wujitian later." Zhao Si watched Mrs. Tian and the two go away before sitting on the stool and waiting for business, Zhao Si thought that he had really made a lot of money today, and his wife and children would definitely be happy when he went home, so he laughed when he thought about it.

I sat in the carriage and looked at my husband Wang Da who was driving the carriage, "Xianggong, did you learn anything from watching me buy a carriage with Boss Zhao just now?" ”

Wang Da thought for a while and said, "Tiantian, what you just took a fancy to was the No. 5 horse and the carriage,

Later, when you asked the price, you asked the price of five horses and carriages, you must have thought that if you only asked the price of the fifth horse and carriage, Boss Zhao might quote a high price.

And knowing the price of all five horses and carriages will have the price in your heart, and it will be convenient to bargain, you see if I am right. ”

I looked at my husband Wang Da in surprise and said: "Xianggong, you are so smart and learn so fast, but you have to study hard now, and you will be responsible for these things in the future, after all, women will always be more troublesome than men, hehe." ”

said and kissed Wang Da's face, and after Wang Da was kissed, he laughed happily.

"Well, Tiantian, I will study seriously, I will never let you suffer in the future, hehe."

Listening to my husband's words, I was moved again, my husband has moved me many times, and I still want to sigh 'If you have a husband like this, what more can a woman ask for'.

"However, Xianggong, don't say the word 'me' anymore in the future, how can you say that you are a literate person now learning to read and write with me, and you will have to say 'I' in the future." It's weird to think that Wang Da is always me.

"Well, Tiantian, I don't treat me~ I~ I listen to you, hehe." Wang Da scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Well, Xianggong is right." I smiled and looked at my husband Wang's big man.

After a while, I asked my husband Wang to watch the carriage outside, and I went in to buy rice and noodles.
