Chapter 557: Who Dropped the Silver?
As soon as Xiao Rui's words fell, the old man nodded again and again: "Brother is not wrong at all, the horse in the prime of life cannot be bought back without thirty taels." Ponies are very difficult to feed in this place, and horses from the north are transported a long way, so the price is high.
Little lady, you really want to buy a good horse, you have to go to the north, I heard that those who are lucky can meet the war horses eliminated in the army when they get to the north. Although the war horse was eliminated, compared to this crossbow horse, it was not a little better. ”
Gu Qiqi knew that horses were superior and disadvantageous, but she wasn't ready to buy any war horses, after all, she didn't go to the battlefield.
Buy a horse for convenience!
"No need, I just buy an ordinary family horse, I always wanted to buy a horse, but I never thought that this horse had to be registered with the yamen to buy it, thank you uncle."
When the old man heard this, he immediately said: "You're welcome, you're welcome, but it's difficult to buy horses in the horse market now, either the old, weak, sick and disabled, or you have a dark disease." You have to find an expert to buy Marco, otherwise you will lose money when you buy it! ”
Hearing this, Gu Qiqi glanced at Xiao Rui: "Do you know horses?"
Xiao Rui chuckled: "I've been a horse for three years!" ”
"Why don't we go back and buy a horse today?"
Xiao Rui knew that what she wanted to do was what she wanted to do, and he also wanted to teach her how to ride a horse.
"Uncle, go back to the city, I'll give you the car money."
After getting the car money in vain, the old man who drove the car was naturally happy, and when he arrived at the city entrance, he explained: "If you want to hire a car, come here to find the old man, and I will give you a cheaper." ”
Xiao Rui thanked with a smile: "Definitely!" ”
In fact, there is no special horse market here, only a special livestock trading market, such as mules, donkeys, cattle, sheep, etc., which is not located in the city, but outside the city.
But this one had to go to the county government to buy a horse permit, and they said goodbye to the enthusiastic old man and went to the yamen.
"What for?"
As soon as they arrived at the yamen, the two were stopped by the gatekeepers.
Xiao Rui stepped forward: "Little brother, I am from Liuping Town, and I want to buy a family horse, but I don't know where to get a horse license?"
The official glanced at the two of them, and saw that both of them were dressed in cotton clothes, so he squinted: "This horse is not cheap, you can afford it, right?" Besides, there is a large list of registered people, and there is a ......"
Act like a snob?
Hehe......
Gu Qiqi's eyes narrowed, and he screamed softly: "Ouch, this big brother, is this the silver you dropped?"
Before the gatekeeper finished speaking, a small piece of silver about two taels was falling at his feet, and the official was excited when he looked at it: "Exactly, exactly!" Thank you, little lady! ”
Gu Qiqi smiled sweetly and harmlessly: "You're welcome, it's your luck that the God of Wealth hasn't left home." This big brother, what is the trick of buying a horse, can you give me some advice?"
The official picked up the silver and immediately stuffed it into his arms, and a smile bloomed on his face: "Yes, the little lady wants to buy a horse, listen to me carefully." It depends on the season, and now it is snowing in the northwest at this time, and it will take about a month for the horse dealers to return to our county. In fact, if you want to buy a good horse, you have to go to the state capital, and the good horses of the horse dealers have been sold there, and the horses that come back here are very ordinary! ”
After saying this, the official also said a lot of jargon, such as how to talk to horse dealers, how to lower prices with horse dealers, how to choose good horses, and so on......
Under the enthusiasm of the officials, Gu Qiqi helped the master Bo pick up the silver in the same way, and soon got the two horse buying permits.
