Chapter Eighty-Nine: Buying Horses in the West Market
The next day, early in the morning, Xu Qingyan's father and daughter left for the county seat, and they first had to go to Baicaotang to sell the ginseng, and then they could buy a carriage.
In the Baicao Hall, Wang Jian took the ginseng and looked at it carefully for a while before speaking; "Where did you get this ginseng?"
Xu Guanghua replied: "Hunting in the mountains, obtained by chance, is there any problem? ”
"No problem, this ginseng is in good condition, and the vintage is 100 years old, not bad! I don't know what you want to sell for? ”
"We're also old acquaintances, so let's ask the shopkeeper Wang to make a price!"
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "Since you believe me, then I will make a price, how about two hundred taels?" ”
When Xu Guanghua heard this, he looked back at Xu Qingyan, and Xu Qingyan nodded.
In fact, she doesn't know the market of ginseng, but she has cooperated with Baicaotang many times, and the shopkeeper Wang has a good character, and this price should be the real price.
"Okay, I believe in the king's shopkeeper, just two hundred taels."
"Brother Xu is really lucky, this century-old mountain ginseng is now rare." Shopkeeper Wang sighed.
"Hey, it's just a moment of luck"
Coming out of Baicaotang, Xu Guanghua took Xu Qingyan to the West Market, where livestock were traded, such as cattle and horses.
Entering Dexi City, a smell of feces and urine came to her nose, and Xu Qingyan couldn't help but cover her nose.
Seeing this, a person in the distance walked over with a cow and asked Xu Guanghua, "Does this brother want to buy a cow?" ”
Xu Guanghua replied: "No, we don't buy cows, we want to buy horses." ”
The man was a little disappointed when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "But there are people who know each other, if not, I have a friend who sells horses, and this brother wants to go with me to see it." ”
Xu Guanghua thought about it and agreed, followed the cattle dealer around a road, and came to the horse selling area.
"Lao Yang, I'll bring someone to buy a horse, and quickly introduce the good horse to this brother."
Lao Yang is a thin old man in his fifties, short and shrewd.
"Hey, the eldest brother wants to buy a horse, and I have all good horses here, I don't know if this brother buys a horse to ride or pull a cart?"
"Pull the car" Xu Guanghua replied.
When Lao Yang heard the cart, his eyes rolled, and he walked to a black horse and introduced: "This horse has a docile personality and good foot strength. ”
Hearing this, Xu Guanghua stepped forward and took a closer look, this horse has black hair, a strong physique, and looks really good, so he can't help but nod again and again.
"Well, yes, how much does this horse cost?"
Lao Yang smiled when he heard this: "The guest officer is refreshing, and I am also refreshing, fifty taels of silver." ”
Xu Guanghua was about to agree, but he heard Xu Qingyan say: "Dad, let's go to another place to have a look." ”
Xu Guanghua was stunned, this horse is very good, why go elsewhere, "Ayan, what's wrong, this horse is very good." ”
Xu Qingyan didn't know what was going on, she wasn't familiar with horses, she didn't know about horses, she didn't know how to do horses, this horse looked good, but she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, anyway, it was uncomfortable.
"Dad, I don't like dark horses, let's go somewhere else." Xu Qingyan made an excuse at random, she didn't know why she felt this way, but there seemed to be a voice in her heart saying, don't buy it.
Xu Guanghua was a little helpless when he heard this, this good horse, just because of the color, he didn't buy it, it was really childlike.
"Little girl, horses are all this color." The cattle dealer was on the sidelines to help.
"Yes, Ayan, most of the horses are black, and there are very few other colors."
"No, Dad, I just don't like it, let's go look elsewhere."
Lao Yang saw that this business was about to be negotiated, but he was mixed up by a female doll, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "The color of this horse is the same, you only have this color when you go to other houses, if the eldest brother thinks it's expensive, I'll count a little less, how about forty-eight taels?" ”
Seeing this, Xu Qingyan felt that there was something wrong with Ma, not to mention the strangeness in her heart, just to say that Lao Yang's attitude was very problematic, they didn't bargain at all, but he took the initiative to reduce the price, for fear that he wouldn't be able to sell.
Xu Guanghua was a little moved, this was cheaper for two taels of silver, and this horse looked really good.
Xu Qingyan saw that her father seemed to be moved, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, "Dad, let's go look elsewhere, I don't like this horse." ”
As the saying goes, greedy for small and cheap suffers big losses, Lao Yang took the initiative to reduce the price, there must be a problem with this horse.
Xu Guanghua was a little embarrassed for a while when he heard Xu Qingyan say this, but in the end he still relied on Xu Qingyan.
"Hey, big brother, don't go, this horse is really good, and there will be no such shop after this village."
Xu Guanghua wanted to buy it very much, but Xu Qingyan pulled his sleeves and walked forward, so he could only pretend not to hear.
Seeing the father and daughter walking away, Lao Yang said angrily: "Seeing that this horse is about to be sold, I just let a stinky girl mix it up." ”
The cattle dealer said: "Hey, I saw the girl covering her nose after coming in, and I knew that there was no livestock at home, and it must be easy to deceive, so I brought you here, who knew that she was the one who caused trouble in the end." ”
Lao Yang said angrily: "It's not, just now her father clearly wanted to buy it." ”
"Hey, forget it, it didn't work out this time, let's talk about it next time, anyway, your horse looks pretty good, and the heart disease is something that ordinary people can't see." The cattle dealer comforted.
"Hey, that's all there is to it, by the way, you haven't sold this cow yet?"
"No, I originally thought that the two father and daughter would buy a carriage, and the family must be good, let me say it again, maybe they will buy the cow together, who knows............"
Xu Qingyan was not there at this time, if she heard these words, she would know why she felt uncomfortable at that time.
It turned out that although the horse seemed to be quite mental, he had a heart disease, and once he had an attack, it was quite a dangerous thing.
Why does Xu Qingyan feel like that, it turns out that it is because of her divine sense, since she has cultivated her divine sense, her five senses are much sharper than ordinary people, and she can have a premonition about things that others can't find.
In the following time, Xu Qingyan's father and daughter changed a few more houses, and finally spent fifty taels to buy a brown horse, and when they passed through the cattle market, they bought a cow for thirty taels, and then they went to the woodcraft store to buy a carriage and an ox cart.
That's right, Xu Qingyan plans to buy two carts, and the cattle can also be put on the ox cart on weekdays, so that it is more convenient to transport things, and in the future, when they go into the mountains to hunt, they can call the ox cart to wait at the bottom of the mountain, so they don't have to carry it back tiredly.
I went to the carpentry shop and bought two carts, the carriage was more expensive, thirty taels, and the ox cart was only ten taels of silver.
In this way, only eighty taels of the two hundred taels of ginseng were sold.
Set the ox cart and the carriage, Xu Guanghua drove the carriage, Xu Qingyan drove the ox cart, and the father and daughter went to the Xixian wharf.
It is said that Xu Qingyan has not driven the ox cart, but Xu Guanghua can't get it alone, so she can only drive the duck to the shelf, fortunately, the cow is more docile, she touched it with her aura again, and the cow is even more obedient, where Xu Qingyan takes the rope, it goes.
