Chapter 95: Buying and Selling
Good horses were collected by the imperial court to equip the army, and it was difficult to have good horses for sale in the market.
Mu Jiu had a try-and-see mentality and found the tooth woman.
Ya Pozi wandered in the livestock pen all day long, there was a heavy smell on her body, and when she opened her mouth, a disgusting sour breath erupted, "Oh, the girl is right to find me Huang Pozi, I have all kinds of horses here!" ”
Mu Jiu suppressed the churning stomach acid, "I'll go and see first." ”
"Come, come, come! Miss Bao is satisfied. ”
Mu Jiu, "......"
Is this Huang Pozi sure that she is an intermediary for selling livestock? And not the old bustard of the kiln?
However, Huang Pozi did have a large number of livestock, and there were more than 20 horses alone.
After walking around, Mu Jiu felt that he had the smell of Ma Shi on his body, but he didn't find anything satisfactory.
"Anything else?" Mu Jiu asked.
Mrs. Huang cracked her mouth and smiled, "Girl, the best horses are here, you look at it again, maybe there is something you didn't see clearly just now!" ”
Mu Jiu shook her head, she could see it clearly, "That means there are others." ”
Mrs. Huang's smile cooled a lot, and she took Mu Jiu to the edge of a dilapidated stable, "That's all, these are all bad, the girl should look at those just now." ”
Mu Jiu fixed his eyes and saw that there were three horses here, two of them were injured and very serious, lying on their knees, and one was an old horse, skinny. In front of the three horses, there were a few sticks of withered yellow grass in the trough, which looked very desolate.
Somehow, Mu Jiu actually saw the vicissitudes of life in their eyes, and there was an awe-inspiring feeling that could not be said.
These are horses coming down from the battlefield.
What a desolate old age!
Mu Jiu had an urge to buy all three horses back, so he asked Mrs. Huang, "How much silver do these three horses cost together?" ”
Can't afford to spend money? Mrs. Huang glanced at Mu Jiu with disdain from the corner of her eye, "If the girl wants, just take a total of thirty taels of silver, let's say it first, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, after the money and goods are paid, we don't care whether the horse is dead or alive." ”
This is the rhythm that was planned to be unable to feed these three horses from the beginning?
But she can heal the two injured horses, Mu Jiu: "Ten taels, ten taels, I will ask for them all." ”
Mrs. Huang sneered, "The girl has no money, so she can't buy it!" ”
Mu Jiu was not in a hurry, raised his feet and walked out, "Then the mother-in-law should keep it for herself, and I will go to Mrs. Li's tooth shop to have a look." ”
Mrs. Huang was anxious, and hurriedly put away the contempt on her face, and grabbed Mu Jiu, "Girl, don't worry, I didn't say I wouldn't sell it, but the girl also knows, it's difficult to do business now, ten taels is really too little, we all need ten taels of silver to buy it, and the girl has fifteen taels more, and I will sell it for twenty-five taels." ”
Mu Jiu gently withdrew the hand that was held by Mrs. Huang, "Mother-in-law is reluctant, let's keep it and sell it after it is cured, it must be more than this money." ”
Mrs. Huang thought about it, she was greedy for cheap when she was thinking about buying it, and she sold it at a high price.
As a result, after the veterinarian came, he said that it was not curable, so he planned to sell it as long as someone bought it without losing money, thinking that Mu Jiu was reluctant to spend money to buy a good horse, he must be a poor person, and the poor are easy to bully.
Who knows it's not easy to fool!
Mu Jiu didn't buy it, it was estimated that it would be difficult to find a buyer again, Huang Pozi hurriedly stopped in front of Mu Jiu, "Twenty taels, I'll sell twenty taels!" ”
Mu Jiu's eyebrows were lightly raised, "Huang Po wants to buy and sell strongly?" ”
"My wife took the girl to see the horses, and the girl just walked away, so I can't say it!"
"What do you want?"
"Twenty-two, sell you these three horses."
Mu Jiu: "Huang Po thinks I'm stupid and easy to bully?" Two of your three horses cannot be cured, and one is an old horse without strength, which together is worth no more than ten taels of silver. ”
Mrs. Huang: "When the girl came in, did you inquire about the reputation of the old woman in this area?" ”
While saying this, Mrs. Huang raised her hand and patted it.
Two tall men ran over, fierce and vicious.
Mu Jiu's expression did not change, and he was indifferent, "It seems that Huang Po is not small." ”
Mrs. Huang looked proud, "That is, my wife can stand in this Luocheng County for decades, so she naturally has my way." ”
"This way also includes Old Man Zhang?"
Mrs. Huang's face changed slightly, but she quickly returned to her arrogant appearance, "Don't tease me, who is Old Man Zhang, how can you be blessed to know a poor village girl?" ”
Mu Jiu didn't say a word, even if she didn't bring out Old Man Zhang, Lin Changsheng was there, which was enough for her to walk out of the tooth line safely.
However, she wanted to take the three horses with her.
Lin Changsheng's eyes were deep, and he stood coldly, and the arrival of the two men was like air to him, and it did not have an effect.
Mu Jiu glanced at the two men playfully, "Does Huang Po want to gamble?" ”
Mrs. Huang said without hesitation, "Don't gamble, stay for twenty taels, take the three horses with you, sign and leave." ”
The two men were about to step forward to restrain Mu Jiu, but at the moment when they were about to approach Mu Jiu, they flew out sideways, lying on the ground and humming.
A trace of panic flashed in Huang Pozi's eyes, and she couldn't see how Lin Changsheng got out of her feet at all, so she flew out.
Mu Jiu looked at Lin Changsheng in surprise, she had seen this trick, but she couldn't remember where it was for a while.
didn't have time to think about it, Mu Jiu turned to Huang Pozi, "Ten taels of silver, if you don't sell it, we'll go." ”
Mrs. Huang glanced at Lin Changsheng jealously, "That'...... All right. ”
Bully the soft and fear the hard!
But Mrs. Huang didn't move for a long time, and Mu Jiu said impatiently, "Go and bring the sales contract." ”
Mrs. Huang suddenly laughed, very weird, and very arrogant, "Take these two people down for me, and dare to come to my yard to make trouble." ”
With Mrs. Huang's order, six tall men rushed out of a small door on the side of the stable, surrounding Lin Changsheng and Mu Jiu in the middle.
Say yes, let's do it together.
Lin Changsheng grabbed Mu Jiu with one hand, made a simple jump, and spun around Mu Jiu, his long legs were as light as lightning, and the six men were kicked to the ground, covering their abdomen and humming in pain.
Mrs. Huang was shocked and lowered her face, "What the hell are you guys coming from?" ”
Lin Changsheng's voice was even deeper, "You are not qualified to know. ”
Mu Jiu almost laughed out loud, Huang Pozi thought that she had met a soft persimmon and let her knead it, but she kicked the iron plate.
But......
Hold it!
"You let me down first." Speak quietly, this man ...... I don't miss the opportunity to take advantage of it!
Lin Changsheng gently put Mu Jiu down, but took her hand.
Mu Jiu, "......"
Now, without waiting for Mu Jiu to speak, Huang Pozi immediately took out the sales contract, for fear of taking a step slowly, and the next one to lie on the ground was her, stamped with her handprint, "Girl, look at ......"
Yo, honorifics are used, and hard fists are king.
Mu Jiu didn't want to make trouble, but he wanted to suppress the price, who would have wanted to make such a fuss, Huang Pozi showed weakness, she didn't mean to make a big fuss, took the contract, paid ten taels of silver, and then went to lead the horse.
The old horse followed Mu Jiu slowly, but the two war horses were too seriously injured, and they knelt down again after walking a few steps.
The horse never lies down until it is absolutely necessary, which shows that it has reached a critical time.
Mu Jiu said to Mrs. Huang, "Let's put the horse here with you first, and come and pull it later." ”
How dare Mrs. Huang say no, "Okay, okay...... Not today, girls can put ...... here."
Lin Changsheng's warning eyes swept over Huang Pozi and followed behind Mu Jiu.
Mu Jiu planned to go to the car dealer to hire two carriages to pull the war horse back, although the old horse was slow, he could go by himself, and he had to let it have a full meal first.
The grain and oil store here also sells livestock feed, and Mu Jiu bought some high-quality ones.
Unexpectedly met the maid next to Mrs. Zhang in the store, and when she saw Mu Jiu, she was very excited, "Miss Mu, why are you here, the old lady often talks about you, since you are here, go to the house to sit down?" ”
Mu Jiu looked at him for a long time before he recognized him as Mrs. Zhang's chief maid, and bowed politely, "Hello." Sorry, I still have something to do, so I'm not going. ”
After buying feed and planning to leave, the maid chased after her, "Miss Mu, wait, my wife ......"
Mu Jiu pretended not to hear it, she didn't like that arrogant and arrogant woman, so she didn't really want to hear about her condition, the world is so big, some are doctors.
But the maid quickly ran to her, "Miss Mu, please save my wife, my wife is ......"
Lin Changsheng stopped in front of the maid and made a gesture to push the maid away.
Mu Jiu signaled him to forget it, she didn't want to be an enemy of Zhang Jinwei, just take a look.
But the two horses could not be delayed any longer, so they said to the maid, "Wait a while, I still have some business, and I will go over when I am done." ”
The maid was very dissatisfied, but she dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and followed behind Mu Jiu.
When she saw Mu Jiu enter the pharmacy to buy medicine and go to treat the injured horse, she suddenly burst out into a sharp cry, "Miss Mu, it's unreasonable for you to do this!" ”
Mu Jiu focused on treating the horse's wounds, this horse was very human, and probably knew that Mu Jiu was here to save them, and he was very cooperative.
Seeing that Mu Jiu ignored her, the maid yelled at Mu Jiu, "I respect you for saving my master, and I am polite to you, but you disregarded the safety of my wife and treated the horse first?" Can a brute compare to my wife? ”
Mu Jiu frowned, this maid took herself too seriously, and her arrogant appearance was exactly the same as that of Mrs. Zhang.
What kind of master raises what kind of minions!
However, if you deal with a maid, then she will lose.
Lin Changsheng glanced at the maid coldly, "Are you comparing your wife to a brute?" ”
The maid was shocked and stammered, "You...... You...... Don't talk nonsense! ”
Lin Changsheng stood beside Mu Jiu and put on a posture of approaching death.
When Mrs. Huang heard that Mrs. Zhang's chief maid was coming, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile on her face that brought tea and water, "Sister Li, what do you need, just command!" ”
The maid is smaller than Huang Pozi, but that Sister Li is very useful, and when she took Huang Pozi's tea, she waved her hand very decently, "You go down first, and I will call you if necessary!" ”
"Sister Li, use it slowly, I'll go down first." Mrs. Huang put on an attitude of obeying the dispatch like a servile.
These are not Mu Jiu's concerns, she only cares about when the wounds of this war horse can be healed.
She has to move into a new house the day after tomorrow, and she has to rush back tomorrow.
