Shen Dahe got the consent of Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao, and he was extremely happy in his heart, and made up his mind to help them complete this business this time.

"The most important thing in buying livestock is to look at the teeth and hooves of the livestock." Maybe this Shen Dahe really has some experience in how to identify livestock, and his eyebrows are dancing when he talks about this.

"Yo, Yamato, do you have a guest today?"

The old man who sold cattle saw Shen Dahe smile and said in a surprised tone.

However, it can be seen from the familiar tone that Shen Dahe seems to have really been here for a long time.

Shen Dahe nodded, a little embarrassed: "Yes, yes, Uncle Zhang." ”

"Okay, then you need to be entertained."

Uncle Zhang laughed as he spoke, and the people around him also laughed.

Shen Dahe took them to see many donkeys, and finally stopped in front of a black donkey.

After Shen Dahe looked at it carefully, he walked up to Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu, and said in a low voice: "It's a female donkey, three or four years old is the time to work, you haven't raised livestock before, the female donkey's personality is more docile, what do you think?" ”

Chen Linxiao took a closer look at the donkey and saw that it was indeed very energetic, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Shen Dahe walked up to the seller with a smile when he heard this, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Brother Liu, how much is this donkey?" ”

The seller's attitude towards Shen Dahe was also very friendly, and he touched the donkey and said: "Dahe is good, you have learned Uncle Shen's skills, and my brother will not give you a false price, eighteen taels of silver." ”

Shen Dahe scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm still far from my father." ”

Then he said a few good words to Brother Liu, and set it at seventeen taels of silver, and Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu were also very satisfied with this price, so they happily paid the money.

Brother Liu accepted the money, patted Shen Dahe's shoulder and said, "Good boy, I have finally grown up, and your father's spirit in the sky can rest in peace, okay." ”

Shen Dahe's eyes were a little red, and he said to Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu: "I'm smiling." ”

After that, he said very seriously to Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao, "Thank you." ”

"Why do you want to say thank you, what you want to say should be that we say thank you to you, helping us buy a good donkey at an affordable price."

Chen Linxiao was puzzled.

Shen Dahe wiped away his tears and said, "You two don't know, you are my first guest. My father was the best Chinese in Niuma City during his lifetime, and many old guests trusted my father, he always hoped that I could inherit my father's business, and taught me the ability to distinguish livestock from an early age, but unfortunately although I learned well, I was afraid of life since I was a child. Since my father passed away, I have also tried to come to Niuma Market to be a middleman, but unfortunately I can't open my mouth when I look at the customers coming and going, and my appearance is really unpleasant, so I have never opened it. ”

"And today?"

Chen Xiaoshu tilted his head and asked, Shen Dahe took the initiative to jump out and talk to him today.

Shen Dahe was embarrassed when he heard Chen Xiaoshu's question and said: "My family really has no money, and the children are still young, so I ······"

The more Shen Dahe spoke, the quieter his voice became, and in the end he was almost inaudible.

"By the way, shall I take you to buy a car?"

Shen Dahe said again.

"Okay, then please."

Chen Linxiao nodded.

Next to the cattle and horse market is the place where the frame is sold, and at the suggestion of Shen Dahe, they bought a frame that can both pull goods and sit people.

Chen Xiaoshu took out half a tael of silver from his purse and handed it to Shen Dahe and said, "Thank you today, this is your reward." ”

Shen Dahe looked at this piece of silver with a happy and sad expression, and waved his hand again and again: "This is too much, three hundred wen is enough." ”

Chen Linxiao smiled and took the silver and stuffed it into his hand and said, "You just take it, if there is more, we will buy some food for your children, and today, we will also judge people by their appearance, I hope you don't mind." ”

Shen Dahe waved his hand again and again: "I won't mind, I won't, by the way, you don't know how to drive a donkey, I'll teach you." ”

After that, he talked about the trick of driving a donkey cart.

This is very easy to learn, Chen Linxiao contacted for a while, and he could roughly drive the donkey cart.

"In the future, if you have anything to do, come to Niuma Market to find me, I am usually here."

Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao were in a good mood and drove a donkey cart on the street.

As for why he is in a good mood, maybe it's because they have become car owners from now on, maybe it's because they helped Shen Dahe complete the first business in his life, and more importantly, it helped him break through himself.

All in all, it's something to be happy about.

After buying a donkey cart, this time they went shopping more calmly than the last time they came to Qitong County.

Park the donkey cart in front of the bookstore, and when you enter the bookstore, you will be greeted by the smell of books.

"What do you want?"

The polite shopkeeper asked.

"Hello shopkeeper, we want some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books for beginners."

Chen Xiaoshu said.

"This way, please." The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation, brought them to the paper shelf, pointed to the slightly yellowed paper on it and said: "This is Xuanzhou yellow paper, the paper is good, the feel is smooth, and it is a piece of three pennies." ”

Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, no wonder everyone can't afford to study, not to mention anything else, paper alone is a big expense.

"Shopkeeper, is there anything cheaper?" Chen Linxiao asked.

The shopkeeper nodded, pointed to the next row of papers, and said, "This kind of big straw paper, one hundred and sixty sheets, but you need to go back and cut it yourself." ”

Chen Xiaoshu bent down and touched it, the paper was really rough, but he could also write, so he nodded and said, "If you are troublesome to the shopkeeper, you will need one or two pieces of silver, and Xuanzhou yellow paper, and you will also need a hundred sheets to help us put it up." ”

"Okay." The shopkeeper called the men to wrap the paper and took them to see the other stationery.

In the end, I bought five inferior ink strips, an inkstone, two rabbit quill pens, and two books recommended by the shopkeeper.

At the time of checkout, it cost nearly seven taels of silver.

The distressed Chen Xiaoshu wanted to go away.

In addition to the door of the bookstore, Chen Xiaoshu looked at Chen Linxiao viciously and said: "You must study hard for the old lady, and if you fail the Jinshi exam, the old lady will kill you." ”

Chen Linxiao hurriedly made a timid look and nodded again and again: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, I will be a husband and I will definitely be on the gold list." ”

"Also, I'm going to learn too."

Chen Xiaoshu didn't want to be illiterate anymore.

"It's nature."

Chen Linxiao nodded, and said seriously, "It's just a pity that women can't take the imperial examination, otherwise my results won't be worthy of my wife's shoes." ”

In terms of filming Chen Xiaoshu's sycophants, Chen Linxiao is definitely professional.

And every time I shoot a sycophant, I don't know what my face is.
