Chapter 23: The Public Carriage

Over there, Ling Zifeng continued: "Thanks to the two of you who gave birth to a lot of silver for me today, I can't repay you in the future, and when the two of you come to my theater, I invite the two of you to watch the play is also my thanks." ”

Li Runfu hurriedly returned the salute with one hand and said: "Where is the son, it should be that we thank you, our father and daughter don't understand horses, if it weren't for the son, we wouldn't know what to do today." ”

Ling Zifeng humbly conceded, and then asked, "How did the eldest brother find out that the horse merchant was doing tricks on the horse's hair?" ”

Li Runfu laughed, and there was a kind of pride in his laughter: "What I found out, it's all the credit of the little girl!" ”

Ling Zifeng had always thought that Li Runfu had exposed Ma Shang's tricks, but he didn't expect it to be the inconspicuous little girl in front of him, he looked at Ah Xing, his eyes were full of surprise, and after a while, he exclaimed: "The girl is really ice and snow smart!" ”

Ah Xing raised her head and glanced at him, and smiled faintly, "Thank you for the compliment, I have only heard others talk about it occasionally." It's not my credit. She was embarrassed to take the credit.

Ling Zifeng only paid attention to Ah Xing's face clearly, although this woman's skin was a little darker, but her eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, and her eyes were indifferent and showed a kind of understanding of the world, which was not at all like the eyes that a girl of this age should have. Ling Zifeng asked himself if he had seen all kinds of people, but like this little girl, she was dressed in cold clothes, but her whole body revealed a noble temperament like a dark orchid, which she had never seen before. His intuition told him that this girl would not be a simple character in the future!

Li Runfu saw that Ling Zifeng was always staring at Ah Xing, and his vigilance suddenly became vigilant, and he hurriedly stepped forward to protect Ah Xing behind him, and said to him: "Our father and daughter still have something to do, so let's go first, and we will be lost!" ”

Ling Zifeng also realized that staring at a woman like this was really unreasonable, he retracted his gaze, took two steps back, and said: "We also have to go back to the theater, big brother go slowly, and when I have time, I will go to Tingsong Theater, and then the little brother will definitely be warmly entertained!" ”

How can Li Runfu have the leisure to listen to the play? But the other party had good intentions, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to say a few perfunctory words at will, and then the two parties said goodbye.

Seeing the figures of Ling Zifeng's master and apprentice disappear around the corner, Li Runfu led the horse and took his daughter to the carriage custom-made workshop on another street.

On the way, Li Runfu happily said to A Xing: "Today's luck is good, I saved a lot of silver by buying a horse!" By the way......" He looked at his daughter: "You just told the Ling class master, you can see that the horse merchant is listening to others, who are you listening to?" We don't have any horses nearby! ”

Ah Xing was stunned, this question is complicated to clarify, she said casually: "I heard it when two horsemen passed by at the entrance of the alley before, sat down to rest and chatted with each other. "It can't be said that the neighbors in the neighborhood said it, in case Daddy chatted with them one day and talked about it, wouldn't it be revealing? I can only say that it was said by someone outside, and I hope this excuse can be mixed up.

Li Runfu didn't doubt Ah Xing's words, he frowned and said, "Don't go out and run around in the future, if these two people are bad people, won't you suffer!" ”

"Daddy, don't worry, A-Xing will be careful in the future." Seeing that her father seemed to be determined to lock herself in the house, Ah Xing couldn't help but feel a little worried, thinking, no matter what, I can't just stay at home and wait for the matchmaker to come to the door to propose, I have to find a way to get my father to agree to let me go out.

The two walked to a shop that made a horse-drawn carriage. There are various models of horse-drawn carriages in the shop, and there are several customers watching the selection. When the shopkeeper saw them leading the horses, he greeted them with a smile, "The two guest officers want to order a carriage?" ”

Li Runfu nodded yes. The shopkeeper asked, "Do you want to pull the goods or take the ride?" ”

Regarding this question, Li Runfu had already thought about it, so he replied without thinking: "It's for pulling goods!" ”

Ah Xing looked at her father in surprise and said, "Daddy, how can you pull the goods?" Your leg injury isn't healed yet! Custom-order a horse-drawn carriage to solicit customers in the city! "Although there is a carriage, but the goods still have to be carried up and down, how can Daddy's legs stand it?

Li Runfu also knew that his daughter cared about him, so he pulled her aside, and then told her his doubts: "Soliciting customers is far less fast than pulling goods, and it will cost a lot of money to take care of the horses in the future, if you just solicit customers, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain!" ”

Ah Xing didn't think so far-reaching before, but now when she hears her father say this, she knows that there are many things in real life that are not as simple as she thinks, but no matter what, she must not ignore her father's body just because she wants to make more money! She pondered for a moment and then said, "What if the fare was lowered a little?" Pull a few more people at the same time, which means that these people all go in the same direction, so that the fare can be shared among these people! "Just like the bus in her previous life! Although she had never been on a bus, she still knew a little bit about the bus.

The more Ah Xing thought about it, the more excited she became, her eyes were shining, "Daddy, we can fix a line, this line is the most crowded in the city, you can go to the most prosperous places in the city, and you can let people get on and off at any time along the way, which is cheap and convenient, and there should be many people who will sit on it." "Jincheng is not small, the last time she went to Hu's house, she walked for more than half an hour, if there is a car passing by there, and the money is not much, she will definitely sit, I believe that other people in the city will also have this kind of mentality.

Li Runfu listened to his daughter's words, his eyes lit up, and he felt that his daughter's method was feasible! If soliciting customers can make money, he naturally doesn't want to joke with his body, if something really happens, it's not his daughter who suffers? He was about to praise his daughter for being smart, but he didn't expect that the store that came to them at some point poured cold water on them at this time.

"The girl is indeed smart, and the idea is really good, but unfortunately the girl is a layman for the carriage, I see that your father and daughter are honest people, and I can't help but want to remind you!" Speaking of which, the store deliberately paused.

The father and daughter were talking about it, but they didn't expect to be listened to by others, Ah Xing regretted that she was not cautious enough, this is a business opportunity, if you let others take the first step, you will suffer a big loss! But when he heard the shopkeeper say this, and thinking of his understanding of the carriage, he couldn't help but humbly ask, "What is this uncle's opinion?" With that, he invited the shopkeeper to a remote corner to prevent anyone else from hearing him.

Li Runfu also looked at the store with wide eyes, the hope that had just sprouted was shattered by his words, and he was not annoyed in his heart.

The shopkeeper saw that the father and daughter humbly asked for advice, so he said: "The small two-wheeled carriage can only be so big, and it is not stable if it is bigger, and now the carriage is only sitting four people at most, the space is quite crowded, the winter is fine, so many people are crowded together in summer, not suffocating people, and people sit more, the stability of the car is not good, there is a risk of overturning if you are not careful, if you are injured, you have to lose money, I think you still pull the goods well!" ”

When Li Runfu heard this, he was anxious, and couldn't help asking, "Can't you make the car bigger?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "It's not that you can't make a big carriage, you can make a big two-wheeled carriage." But you have only one horse, and you have at least two horses for the two big rounds! And that stability is even more difficult to say! ”

When Ah Xing heard him talk about "big two wheels" and "small two wheels", an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, if it wasn't two wheels, it was four wheels?
