Chapter 138: Means of Transportation
"There are about two hundred of them, right outside the door."
When Steward Zhao heard this, he hurriedly instructed his guys: "Little Liu, hurry up and bring it in." ”
After the things were brought in, Steward Zhao looked at the ice in the wooden basin, he knew that this rare thing was preserved with ice, and he didn't know where to get so much ice for a while, so he simply said directly: "That's it, two hundred snowy moon cakes, a total of ten taels of silver, I'll add five taels to you, and you leave me the ice, okay?" ”
Can you still sell like this?
Lu Jiu was happy in his heart, but he hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Cheng, for the sake of previous friendships, fifteen taels will be fifteen taels." ”
Steward Zhao gave Lu Jiu twenty taels of silver and said to her: "The remaining five taels are considered a deposit, and you can make a few more snowy mooncakes with fruit filling, and I will settle the bill for you tomorrow!" ”
"Cheng, see you later!"
Lu Jiu said goodbye to Steward Zhao, and got on the donkey cart, planning to go to the grocery store to buy some raw materials.
After buying the raw materials, Lu Jiu sat in a slow donkey cart, and suddenly found one thing, although he had a good relationship with Uncle Lin, he couldn't borrow other people's cars every day.
[Random Mission: Please have a travel tool within two hours, and complete the task to get a random reward.] 】
Lu Jiu: "......" Do you want to be so stitchy?
Qian Qian grinned: "It will be very convenient for the ninth master to enter the city in the future." ”
Lu Jiu took a deep breath and said to Lu Sanqiu: "Third brother, let's go to the livestock market instead. ”
"What are you doing there?"
"You have also seen it, I have negotiated business with Steward Zhao, and I will come to the county seat to deliver goods in the next few days, so it is not good to borrow Uncle Lin's donkey cart every day, I think it is better to buy a car myself, and save trouble with others."
Lu Sanqiu felt that such a big matter as buying livestock should at least be discussed with his family, but when he remembered that Lu Jiu had earned twenty or thirty taels of silver in less than half a day, he immediately swallowed it when it came to his mouth.
Anyway, a donkey is at most a dozen taels of silver, and my sister can buy it if she wants to.
When I arrived at the livestock market, the smell was a little unpleasant, and there was animal feces everywhere.
In the front are pigs and sheep for food, and in the back are the animals that pull carts and plough the fields, and there are only three kinds of animals, donkeys, oxen, horses and mules.
Donkeys are cheaper, cattle are second, and horses and mules are the most expensive.
Donkeys can be used to plough the land to grind, can also be used as a means of transportation, cattle and donkeys have the same role, but the endurance is better, is the main force of arable land, but it is more troublesome to buy cattle, because you have to go to the government to register, you can't slaughter it privately, otherwise it will break the law.
As for the horse mule, it is the offspring of a cross between a male donkey and a mare, the horse mule is considered a typical case of heterosis, the horse mule has many better performance than its parents, it is taller than the horse, has better endurance than the horse, unlike the horse has such high feed requirements and the amount of food is less than that of the horse, and the life span is longer, and the service life is longer,
The shape of the horse and the mule is like that of a horse, and the sound is like that of a donkey; The upper neck hair, tail hair, and ear length are between those of horses and donkeys. The hooves are small, the heels are high and firm, the tendons and tendons of the limbs are strong, and there are often dark stripes on the back, shoulders and middle of the limbs. Body hair is dark-brown, gray, or russet.
Horses and mules can be rough-fed, hard-working, disease-resistant and adaptable, and have a large and durable pulling force. Lives longer than horses and donkeys. Generally non-fertile. It is used more for pulling and packing.
Mules have a long lifespan, generally living to about 35 years old, up to 50 years old if well kept and managed, and up to 20 years in service.
