Chapter 56: Buying a Donkey

"I just said I don't understand, if you think you can buy it. Uncle, how do you sell this donkey? ”

"Eight taels, one can't be missing." Only then did Ergouzi believe that the couple really wanted to buy donkeys, and seeing that they were not dressed well, he didn't expect him to really run into them.

"Xianggong, what do you think?" Eight taels, if there is no seller, she can't afford to buy this donkey just by making money from her stall, and it's really not cheap.

However, it is much cheaper than others, a ploughing ox costs about fifteen taels, and a carriage is about thirty taels at worst.

She didn't know the price, it was all Zhong Dashan told her.

"You can buy it."

"I also have an eighty percent new donkey cart at home, and if you buy my donkey, I'll give it to you for free." The second dog is now in a hurry to get the silver, and he is arrogant.

The man who followed him and persuaded him to sell vegetables heard him say this, and he disagreed very much, and said loudly: "Ergouzi, your donkey cart is eighty percent new, and it can be worth four hundred copper plates, why did you give it away like this." ”

"They bought my donkey, and the donkey cart was left in my house and was deserted."

Jin Mo was secretly happy when she heard this, but her face was not obvious: "Then dare to be kind, uncle, which village is your family in?" "Why don't you have a free donkey cart, so that Xianggong doesn't have to work hard to make a donkey cart by himself, as long as he installs a carriage on the donkey cart.

"Fangjia Village."

"Daughter-in-law, Fangjia Village is not far from the county seat, about five kilometers away."

"Uncle, is it convenient to go to your house now, and try the footsteps of two donkeys by the way."

"Yes, yes." The second dog was excited in his heart, and when he had money, he could pay back the money he owed to the hospital.

So, the two dogs drove the two donkeys to Fangjia Village with the husband and wife under the complicated eyes of the people in the same village.

Zhong Dashan's things were directly put on the donkey by the two dogs.

The road to Fangjia Village is an official road, with locust trees, willow trees, and wildflowers blooming all over the ground, swaying gently in the wind, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafts in the air from time to time.

Along the way, people who saw Ergouzi would greet him regardless of gender, age or child, it seemed that his popularity and reputation were okay in Fangjia Village, the husband and wife glanced at each other, and Zhong Dashan talked to him seemingly casually.

"I am also reluctant to sell donkeys, but there is no way, my daughter-in-law gave birth to my son when she had a difficult birth, and she saved her life by eating the ginseng of the hospital, and my family owes the hospital twenty taels of silver." The land is the life of the farmer, and he will never move until he has to, if he does not have two donkeys to sell at home, otherwise, his family will really sell the land to pay off the debt of the hospital.

"It's so expensive." Jin Mo was surprised.

"References are more expensive than gold." Ergouzi let out a long sigh, although he had a son and his daughter-in-law's life was saved, but he was really reluctant to sell a pair of donkeys that he had raised since he was a child, and he was very uncomfortable.

They are like their own children, they have grown up from a little bit of care, and they have already gotten along with each other, how can they not be sad!

"Daughter-in-law, ginseng is very expensive, that is, rich and noble families are reluctant to use ginseng unless they have to." Zhong Dashan explained to Jin Mo.

Jin Mo nodded.

Ginseng, no matter where it is, is a precious thing.

It grows deep in the mountains, likes shade, and the leaves are easily burned when the temperature is higher than 32 degrees. It's not easy to find a tall plant, isn't it all like that in TV dramas, getting a century-old ginseng is like getting the whole world, and it's extremely happy.

"Uncle, can you please teach me how dare to donkey cart when the time comes?"

"That's no problem, I'll teach when I get to my house."

While talking, walking, soon they arrived at Fangjia Village, Ergouzi's family is the fifth at the entrance of Fangjia Village, there is a pear tree in the yard, at this time the flowers on the pear tree have been defeated, and they can see small fruits.

The bamboo fences, thatched houses, and pear trees are somewhat similar to their homes, and it should be said that the environment of the peasant families is similar.

Under the pear tree sat an old couple.

In the past, the two dogs came back with a look of sorrow, but now they had a smile on their faces, and took Zhong Dashan and his wife into the courtyard, and said to the old man with white hair and wrinkled faces: "Father, mother, this is the mountain couple in Zhongjia Village, they bought my donkey, and I promised to send them the donkey cart." I'm going to get the donkey cart. ”

The black-faced old man asked, "Did they buy both?" ”

"Yes." The second dog said in a rough voice.

The old woman was changing her old clothes into children's clothes, and when she heard her son say that she was going to give away the donkey cart, she yelled at the second dog angrily, "The donkey cart is worth hundreds of copper plates, and you just gave it away?" ”

"If you don't send it, it's hard to be moth-eaten in the utility room." What do you do with the donkey cart after the donkeys are sold, it is better not to keep one of them, so as not to see the remorse in your heart and add to your own blockage.

The old woman's cloudy eyes widened, and she said anxiously: "No, you can't give it away for nothing, they have to give four hundred wen." ”

Ergouzi's expression was stunned, very embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "Mother, I have already agreed." ”

The old woman didn't give up, reached out and slapped Ergouzi's arm a few times, "Your father and mother are still alive, this family is not your turn to be in charge, and you are not allowed to give away the donkey cart." ”

"Mother, I've already agreed, you can't let me be a person who goes back on my word." The second dog let his wife beat and scold, but he still refused to let go. How can you be a man without integrity.

"I said no." The old woman also did not let go of her neck when she stalked her neck.

At this moment, Zhong Dashan and Jin Mo became very embarrassed, they knew that this would happen, they bought a donkey and went home, and they were willing to let their father-in-law work hard, rather than face such a situation.

Buying a donkey can lead to more such things, hey~~~

"Well, excuse me, uncle, we don't want the donkey cart, let's write the contract for selling the donkey." Jin Mo didn't want to listen to their arguments, so she interrupted them.

"No, if you don't buy the donkey cart with you, our donkeys won't be sold." As soon as the old woman heard that they didn't want the donkey cart anymore, she directly threatened them.

"Mother, what did you say?" When the second dog heard this, his face turned white, what did his mother want to do, I don't know if she won't buy it as soon as she says it.

"What did I say, I don't care, I~~~"

"Shut up, old woman." The black-faced old man was so noisy that his head hurt, he rubbed his temples and shouted to stop the old woman's remarks.

"Let you see the smile. Since my son has agreed, you will take the donkey cart with you. ”

When the second dog saw that his father had spoken, he immediately went to the utility room and took out the donkey cart and put it on the male donkey.

The donkey cart is about eighty percent new, the cart is made of wood, and it also carries a carriage, and the top is thickly pasted with oiled paper for several layers, and the space inside is not small, and it can seat three or four people.

Seeing the donkey cart, Jin Mo finally understood why the old woman disagreed, this donkey cart was not a board cart, but a car with windows and a roof.

If such a donkey cart is brand new, it is estimated that it can be worth one or two silver, and eighty percent of the new ones they want 400 Wen is still a conscience price, and they don't ask for it high.

Jin Mo was very satisfied with the donkey and the donkey cart, and immediately decided on the deal.

Ergouzi immediately went to the neighbor's house to borrow a pen and paper to write the contract, and after signing the contract, Jin Mo took out the silver money, "Here are eight taels and three hundred Wen, you order." ”

"Okay, eight taels, take this back." Ergouzi is a sincere person, eight taels is eight taels, so much that he won't accept it.

"Take it, I thought the donkey cart was a board cart, and I thought I would receive it if I gave it away, but when I saw the real thing, it was obviously not, so I can't take advantage of it, there is too much, there are still three hundred Wen." Jin Mo pushed the three hundred Wen back again.

"Oh well. I'll take it. The second dog saw that Jin Mo was sincere, so he happily took it, "It's not to learn how to drive a donkey cart, come, I'll teach you." ”

After getting the silver, the black-faced old man and the old woman finally no longer frowned on their faces.

Zhong Dashan can drive an ox cart, so he learns very quickly, the second dog told him again, he understands, when he practiced driving in the village, he met many people from Fangjia Village, and saw that the second dog was teaching people to drive a donkey cart, and asked one by one.

"Ergouzi, your donkey was sold?"

"Sold."

"Two dogs, sold at both ends?"

"Yes, they were sold together."

"Ergouzi, how much did you sell this donkey?"

"Eight taels."

"Hey, it's cheap."

"No way."

~~~

After learning to drive a donkey cart, Zhong Dashan took Jin Mo to bid farewell to Ergouzi's family and drove the donkey cart home.

Zhong Dashan drove a donkey cart into the village, but was directly blocked by everyone at the entrance of the village.

They looked at him like they were looking at a diorama and asked him babblingly.

"Dashan, did you buy a donkey?"

"Dashan, this costs a lot of money, how did you buy two heads. It's too expensive. ”

"Dashan, how much did you buy this donkey?"

The ladies in the village, you and I say a word, so that Zhong Dashan should say anything, just keep silent, and let them play freely.

The power of a woman is very great, and if it wasn't blocked for a while, Zhong Dashan's purchase of a donkey spread throughout Zhongjia Village at once, and many people dropped their work and went to the entrance of the village to see what was going on.

Buying livestock is a great thing, in the farmhouse, in addition to doing happy events, building a house is a big deal, and buying livestock is also a happy event.

There are only two cows in the whole Zhongjia Village, which is another precious one, and there are two donkeys at once, can they not be blocked.

Zhong Qiu's family naturally heard the news, and when some people passed by their door, they deliberately raised the volume of their speech.

"Let's go, Dashan bought two donkeys, and everyone blocked them at the entrance of the village, let's hurry up and take a look."

"Hey, you go slowly, some people, it is estimated that the intestines of regret are green, how long has it been, Dashan and his daughter-in-law have earned the money to buy donkeys, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they can build a new house." This lady, your guess is really accurate, aren't they going to build a house?
