Chapter 238: Buying Horses
Walking in the crowded animal market, the owners on both sides saw customers walking in front of their stalls, and they all sold to themselves, hoping to sell all the animals in their stalls as soon as possible.
For those bosses' shouts, Gu Anning could be said to have turned a deaf ear, and concentrated on finding the horses she needed.
She is just a doctor who understands medical skills, and she does not know how to observe the good and bad of horses.
But she can judge the quality of a horse by one thing, and that is by its spirit.
I am a person who understands medical skills, and I will not understand the judgment of this essence and spirit, nor will it be inaccurate.
There are already a few stalls walking by, and there are already two stalls selling horses.
After turning around, the five places in the market where horses were sold had been observed by themselves.
Through her strong memory, through comparison, she found the best one for horses.
After all, if you want to buy something good, you have to shop around and pick the best of them.
The horses she had chosen were few in number, only a few of the five were tied to a pole fixed to the wall with reins.
And the boss is a kind middle-aged man, which makes people feel a little close at first glance.
When Gu Anning approached, the boss noticed her arrival, and saw that there was a purchase of her horse in her eyes, so he stepped forward and greeted.
"Girl, come and see me, my horses here are excellent, and the price is fair."
Gu Anning's original destination was here, so she naturally nodded and stepped forward.
The bosses who were still stretching out their hands to her to recruit her saw her enter the stall of that family, and they all stopped thinking and changed their minds to other passers-by.
When he came to the small shop he chose, the ground was very clean by the boss, and there were only some horse feces marks that were difficult to clean and left shallow marks.
And the boss saw that Gu Anning's clothes were all good, and her appearance was extremely exquisite, and her temperament was extraordinary, not like an ordinary girl at all, and he thought she was the daughter of someone's family.
"Girl, don't move yet, this ground is dirty, I'll get something for you."
For the daughters of rich families, they are all extremely squeamish, and they are afraid of these dirty things, so the boss also proposed to take some things for her to put on the ground and let her step on them.
For the boss's kindness, Gu Anning shook her head with a smile, "No need, boss, I don't mind this." ”
Listening to the words of the girl in front of him, the boss was slightly stunned, and at the same time, his good impression of the girl in front of him doubled.
This girl feels very comfortable with herself, and you can also tell from her words that she has a good personality.
If it were the usual daughters, they wouldn't even dare to cross the entrance of this market, and they covered their mouths and noses when they first arrived at the door, and their eyes were full of disgust, let alone walk in.
"Alright, girl, take your time."
"Hmm." Gu Anning replied lightly, and then carefully observed the spirit of these horses.
After a while, the middle-aged boss saw that she had been silent, and had been observing the horses, and he thought that this girl did not know how to read, so he also walked forward and said with a very kind expression: "Girl, this horse is very good, you can see its coat color, and how strong its limbs are."
Gu Anning followed his introduction and looked over, and when she saw the horse that the boss was referring to, she couldn't help but be a little more serious.
The horse was indeed very good, with smooth brown coat and strong muscles on all four limbs, and he looked explosive.
And the spirit of this horse is very good, and all in all, this horse is indeed the best of all horses.
"Boss, this horse is very good, can you tell me everything about it?"
The boss saw that she was interested in this horse, so he naturally explained it to her seriously.
"Girl, don't worry, this horse has been tamed, absolutely gentle, and also tame the cart, pack the goods, and pull the stone mill, if you choose it from a girl's family, it is extremely suitable, and I will give you a preferential price when the time comes."
Hearing this, Gu Anning came to the horse, reached out and stroked its head and the hair on its forehead, and the horse also rubbed its palm very affectionately.
Watching its movements, Gu Anning stared into its eyes. On closer inspection, its expression is very gentle, without a trace of fierceness. It seems that the horse is exactly what he says it is.
"Boss, I wonder how much this horse costs?" Gu Anning didn't say that she meant to buy it at the first time, but asked about its price.
"The price of those people around is sixteen taels of silver, I'll give you a better price, you can give me fifteen taels of silver and three hundred yuan." The boss gave her 700 less money.
Don't look at 700 yuan, it seems to be a small amount, it is four months' salary.
Fifteen taels of silver and three hundred yuan, the price was still within her budget, so she nodded without bargaining with him.
"Okay, that's it."
"Yes, girl, I have a saddle here, do you need one?" The price is not much, only one or two silver. ”
Seeing that the horse had been sold, he immediately sold her his matching saddle.
Of course, the one or two pieces of silver he said were also discounted, and those who were also selling horses around the area could set a price of one or two and five hundred yuan, and the price he gave was extremely fair.
Gu Anning nodded when she heard this, and then chose a black saddle with a pattern, and the boss installed it for himself.
After paying the money, the boss untied the reins of the horse and handed it to her.
Holding the horse in his hand, Gu Anning left here under the escort of the boss.
In modern times, I learned to ride a horse, and my equestrian skills are pretty good. However, until now, she hadn't ridden a horse in more than a year.
Now that she has horses, she naturally wants to experience the joy of horseback riding.
As for configuring the carriage for the horses, I'm not very familiar with it, so I'll leave it to Qiuyue.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Gu Anning went to Moxiangzhai, and then bought several pieces of cloth to wrap the books and tie them to the horse.
After checking it and finding that the books were tied securely, she rolled over and rode on horseback, which was smooth and chic.
Since it was still in the town, there was still a lot of crowd, and Gu Anning didn't run directly on it, for fear of hitting people.
When he came to the outside of the town slowly, looking at the road where there was no one anymore, Gu Anning snorted softly, and at the same time, with his legs clamped, the horse that had been tamed immediately ran away.
