This middle-aged man's surname is Chen, he is an old economy, in addition to donkeys, horses and cows, he can also palm, according to him, he has never run his eyes, but Song Lingxue also felt that he didn't seem to be talking big, but he was also convinced.

Chen Economy took the two of them to look at it for a while, and also said a lot of words, the hooves of this donkey are too thin, the notch is not good, the neck is too thin and the body is not strong enough, and finally chose a satisfied donkey with black hair, which looks strong and the limbs look strong.

Zhou Bing also looked good, so he glanced at Song Lingxue, and when he saw her nodding, he said to Na Chen Jingye.

Chen Jingye was very happy to see that the couple was very talkative, did not pick and choose, and trusted him very much, so he whispered to the bottom of the matter: "The price of such a donkey is a little more expensive than others, at least about sixteen or seventeen taels, but I will try my best to cut you less." ”

"Thank you first!" Zhou Bing nodded.

"You're welcome!" Chen Economy said with a smile, and went to find the owner of the donkey.

Then he brought an old man about fifty years old, and the two began to bargain.

The so-called rules of each industry are the same, and the same is true that Song Lingxue has seen before, in order to prevent others from knowing the price they offer, they usually negotiate the price in private. It is used to compare the price with a gesture commonly used in the trading house, and when the buyer and seller agree on it, the transaction can be concluded.

This is the so-called hand-holding bargaining, which is also called "pinching the price", and also has a good name: "the sleeve is good".

Song Lingxue looked at it curiously, the two of them were half-sideways, their hands touching each other in the cuffs, although they were close, but she didn't understand the gesture that changed too quickly, and after a while, the two of them laughed.

Is this negotiated? Song Lingxue was surprised, this was less than half a cup of tea, and sure enough, the connoisseur knew if there was one as soon as he made a move.

In the end, the donkey was sold at a price of fifteen taels and thirty yuan, and Zhou Bing's money was given to Song Lingxue, and he didn't feel embarrassed, he looked at her directly, Song Lingxue smiled, took out a handful of broken silver from his coat, counted fifteen taels, and took out a string of fifty yuan, and counted thirty yuan.

After Chen Economy handed over the money to the old man and led the donkey over, Song Lingxue was very generous and gave the big money to Chen Economy. It can be regarded as thanking him for being really good at bargaining and saving them more than a tael of silver.

Chen Economy is very happy, in the past, it was only ten cents at most, but now such a neat business, the remuneration has doubled, can he not be happy!

The donkey was bought, and after saying goodbye to Chen Economy, the two of them led them to the direction of the city gate when they came, the county seat is not as good as Huaihua Town, if they want to rush back before dark, they have no leisure time to wander around, but they could have had time to have a meal, and now it is inconvenient to lead the donkey.

On the way, I met a seller of steamed buns, bought eight large meat buns, and bought two bamboo tubes of mung bean tea, the two of them ate and drank while walking, and along the way they met some snacks that were easy to take away, and bought some snacks and gadgets that were not common in Huaihua Town, and they were also bought by homeopathy, and put them in a bag on the donkey at both ends.

When passing by the grocery store, Song Lingxue also went in to buy a lot of dry goods and seasonings, such as big star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., which are better than those in the town and have a more complete variety, she thought that the family had just killed a pig, and went back to stew a pot of braised pork, she hadn't eaten it for a long time, and she drooled when she thought about it.

Thinking of this, she was a little funny, I don't know if it was caused by the original owner's years of searching, her body's desire for meat is simply several times more than before, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't eat meat for a day, but fortunately she can't eat fat in this physique, otherwise she will have to become fat in the past two months.

On the way back, because of a donkey, the groom walked much slower than when he came, which was also a delay for some time, so when he went back to the town, Song Lingxue paid the remaining half of the fare, and gave the driver a small bag of snacks, although it was bought at the roadside stall, it also cost more than a dozen yuan.

The coachman excused himself and caught it, there are children at home, and he is usually reluctant to buy snacks for them, but now he has it in vain, which is naturally good, and after thanking him, both parties have their own convenience.

Although there are ready-made flatbed trucks that are sold directly in Xishi, Song Lingxue wants the kind with a roof, and she is not afraid of rain or hot weather exposure when she goes out in the future, and there is no one for sale here, so she decided to go back to Yao Lao Wu to order a car.

With previous experience in snack trucks, Song Lingxue believes that the kind of car she wants, and it is no problem.

On the way back, Zhou Bing led the donkey, Song Lingxue followed, the sun was about to set, leaving only half of the playful head, the sunset in the sky was accompanied by a cool breeze, it was quite pleasant, although there was nothing to say between the two, it was very quiet.

Just when Song Lingxue thought that the two of them walked home in silence, Zhou Bing on the side suddenly spoke: "That wild boar is just a coincidence, the prey in the back mountain will not come to the front mountain easily, and if you go deeper, you may not be able to hunt the prey, and there will be danger." ”

Song Lingxue didn't quite understand what he meant by suddenly mentioning this, so she didn't open her mouth and listened to him continue.

Sure enough, Zhou Bing continued: "So although the money comes quickly, it is not advisable, and you are not allowed to do those small businesses, I met a few brothers from Li Jiakeng on the channel before, and their village is in the mountain nest of Dayu Mountain, so I am more familiar with the mountain people in the mountains, I heard that the mountain people have a lot of mountain goods in their hands, but because of many problems, they can't go directly to the town to sell them, so they often run dozens of miles of mountain roads to exchange things with the villages below." I remember that when I went out before, there were many sought-after mountain goods that were sold very expensive in the county, and the mountain people were also very poor if they didn't know the goods. ”

"So you want to resell mountain goods?" Song Lingxue immediately thought of the key point.

The so-called mountain people are the people who hid in the deep mountains and old forests a long time ago because of the disaster, many of them are black households without household registration, although the imperial court has a policy, the mountain people take the initiative to come out to make up the household registration, it is possible to allocate some land, but the ancestors have lived in the mountains and forests for generations, most of the mountain people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, so until the Dayong Dynasty has gone through several generations of emperors, to today's peaceful and prosperous country and people's peace, there are still many black households living in the mountains!

There are too many good things in the deep mountains, and no one in the ordinary villagers dares to go treasure hunting, which also makes the mountain people unsuitable for goods, and even some ginseng, lingzhi, and He Shou Wu are eaten as snacks......

Zhou Bing nodded, the reason why he knew this, in addition to Yao Dazhuang's memory, more importantly, he liked to travel around and dabble in miscellaneous books in his previous life, and he was also very familiar with many mountain goods and wild things, and he was not afraid of being deceived and finding fakes.

……………………………………

(Correct, the price of the wild boar written before is too outrageous, in fact, even if a wild boar is more expensive than a domestic pig, it is only about ten taels of silver, but the chapter is locked and cannot be modified, forgive me.)

So a donkey here is about fifteen taels in line with the background of the times in my book, don't be misunderstood by me before haha! ）
