Chapter 123: Buying a Car
As soon as Li Ziyu and Bu Jiu entered the car seller's shop, seven or eight people surrounded them and asked:
"Buying a car? Look at my car, how sturdy! I'm all boxwood."
"I still have it, come and see, I'm a genuine Huanghuali, I don't need money if it's not strong"
"And my look, this is an authentic safflower pear, and it's bad."
"I'm cheap and sturdy, I don't believe you buy it and try it, I promise you will return it next time"
Li Ziyu didn't say anything, went straight through the noisy crowd, and looked around.
There are about a dozen carriages of all kinds here, both with and without a canopy.
Li Ziyu found that the structure of the carriage was the same, very simple. Two wooden wheels, a wooden shaft, and a wooden carriage. The canopy is fully enclosed, with only a door on one side.
Li Ziyu didn't know how to choose, and she didn't know which car was strong. When she was at a loss, she heard Bu Jiu say on the side: "Miss, this one is good." ”
Li Ziyu turned her head to look at the car that she didn't say. I saw that it was a golden carriage with a golden yellow body, and the surface of the carriage had golden dragon patterns running through the reverse phase, showing the traces of time. The most amazing thing is that there is a faint fragrance, which makes Li Ziyu very surprised.
This is an open car, without a canopy, and the wood is medium, but it has Li Ziyu's eyes. But she didn't have the impulse to settle down immediately, but looked at Bu Jiu inquiringly.
Bu Jiu didn't say anything, just nodded at her.
Then. The owner of the car on one side saw Li Ziyu circling around the car and hurriedly walked over.
"Little girl, do you buy a car? I'm a car made of wood from the south, and I've got it here. If this one is not satisfied. You just make a car, and I'll give you a new one, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied. ”
As soon as Li Ziyu looked up, he saw an old man about fifty years old walking over, with a courteous smile on his face, lest he snub the customer.
Just now he squatted in a leeward place and warmed up for a while. Anyway, I don't have much to buy a car. It was too cold for him, so he found a leeward place to lean on.
Li Ziyu When they came, everyone else stepped forward, but he didn't move, thinking that a child or a girl must have come to play. It won't be buying a car. Unexpectedly, he looked away, but he was a serious buyer.
As soon as Li Ziyu heard him, she asked, "Can your family still build a car?" ”
"Yes! A few of my boys are learning outside, man! I don't believe you're going to see it that day. As long as you can tell the story. My son will be able to play it. ”
"Oh? Are you telling the truth? Li Ziyu became interested, "Grandpa, where are you from?" How do I find you? ”
"I'm from the village of Shan Lump, five miles north of the town. When you go, just look for my eldest rice mancang. ”
"And how much does your car cost?"
"Twenty taels!"
"What? Why is it so expensive? Li Ziyu screamed when she heard this. She just listened to a few bargains for buying a car, a car frame is at most twelve or three taels of silver, why is it so expensive to her? Can you see that she is a layman?
Mi Laohan copied his sleeves embarrassedly, and explained anxiously: "Little granddaughter, don't worry, you listen to me." Their cars are made of wood from our mountains, which is low cost. So sell cheaply. My car was transported from the south, what is it called?"
"What?" Li Ziyu shouted again. "Grandpa Mi, you didn't lie to me, did you? Is this really the Dragon Descending Wood? ”
"That's what my son said."
Li Ziyu was pleasantly surprised, but she didn't expect to buy a car and pick up a treasure.
Dragon Descending Wood has been famous as a rare medicinal material since ancient times. Among the well-known [Yang Family Generals], Mu Guiying broke the Tianmen Array with the Dragon Descending Wood to break the poisonous gas released by the Liao Army. Historically, chopsticks were made from dragon wood and presented to emperors and important ministers in the palace to test for toxins in meals and drinking water.
It is rumored that the dragon wood is extremely tough, and it is constantly folded, like cow tendon, so it is also called the cow tendon tree. In modern times, according to the research of relevant scholars, the dragon wood has the function of detoxifying and warding off evil spirits. It is often used to drive away evil spirits, ward off evil spirits, town houses, collections, inheritance, health care and medical functions.
If this car is really made of dragon wood, it is really not expensive, not only is it not expensive, but it is also cheap. I don't know where Mi Mancang bought the wood, if it is possible, she must follow this fortune.
Li Ziyu happily paid twenty taels of silver, and the old man was so happy that he opened his mouth without a front tooth, and the folds on his face turned into chrysanthemums.
Li Ziyu still wanted to buy a horse, so he agreed with Mi Laohan and asked him to show him the carriage frame for a while, and they would come back in a while.
Mi Laohan nodded his head again and again, but the joy on his face couldn't hide it.
Li Ziyu and Bu Jiu walked towards the mule and horse market in the southwest corner, which was the largest mule and horse market in Shiyan Town, with all kinds of mules and horses.
Li Ziyu bought a good car frame, and planned to buy a good horse that matched the frame. But she didn't understand horses, so she had to give the decision to buy a horse to Bu Jiu. He rode a lot of horses, and he must be familiar with the attributes and advantages of horses.
Bu Jiu didn't talk much since he entered the Luoma City, just kept looking at each other and discerning and walked forward, without stopping too much. Li Ziyu knew that he definitely didn't like it, or he wouldn't keep moving forward.
At this time, Bu Jiu stopped in front of a horse and didn't leave, and Li Ziyu looked at the horse in front of him curiously.
I saw that this horse was not very large, with a thick body, solid and powerful limbs, a rough and strong physique, a large head and a wide forehead, a deep and long chest, short legs, and well-developed joints and tendons. The coat is dense and the coat color is complex.
In Li Ziyu's opinion, this horse can't be seen to be more brilliant, and I don't know what Bu Jiu likes about it.
"It's a Mongolian horse." Bu Jiu suddenly opened his mouth, with a faint appreciation in his voice, "It is hardworking, not afraid of the cold, can adapt to extremely extensive feeding management, has strong vitality, and can survive in extremely harsh conditions." The well-trained Mongolian horses are unfazed and brave on the battlefield, and are often purchased in the army. ”
Li Ziyu listened to Bu Jiu's introduction and immediately made the decision to buy a horse. She was wondering why she hadn't seen the owner of the horse when she heard a panting voice coming from behind her:
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I just went to the toilet and neglected the guest officer. Do you want to buy this horse? The guest officer is really discerning. This is a purebred Mongolian horse, and I came across it by chance. How's that, this horse is good, right? If you pass through this village, you won't find this shop."
As soon as Li Ziyu turned around, she saw a stocky man in his thirties trotting over, sorting out his clothes while running, and his mouth was not idle, with a look of urgency on his face, as if he was afraid that they would run away.
"How much does this horse cost?" Li Ziyu did fall in love with this horse, and asked bluntly without going to grind.
