Chapter 159: Buying a Cow
"Then we will buy a small cart for the oxen to pull," said Quiet and smiling, "and then we will have an ox cart, and we will not have to walk to the town in the future." ”
"Hmm." After a pause, Xiao Changyi asked: "There are still 100 catties of bean curd at home, and we will pick some to sell in the town tomorrow?" ”
Quietly shook his head: "No, we won't sell it tomorrow, tomorrow we will go empty-handed, specially to buy cows and carts, and when we have ox carts, we will go to the town to sell fermented bean curd, so that not only do we not have to pick those fermented bean curd, but we don't have to get up so early in the future." ”
Riding an ox cart is much faster than walking to town with a man.
"Hmm." He followed her, and he had no opinion.
Cattle can not only plow the field, but also for transportation, in this world, cattle are not allowed to be slaughtered privately, only when the cattle are old and useless, the owner of the cattle can apply to the government and get the approval of the government before they can be slaughtered.
Jing Jing and Xiao Changyi came to the place where cattle were sold in Sixteen Towns, there were many cattle, but there were only two types, cattle and buffalo.
Cattle are yellow, their horns are shorter than those of buffaloes, and their strength is lower than that of buffaloes, so they are much cheaper than buffaloes.
A scalper can buy one for four taels, but a buffalo can buy one for at least five taels.
"Xianggong, I want to buy a buffalo." As soon as he heard the introduction of the cattle seller, he said this to Xiao Changyi without thinking about it.
Xiao Changyi also followed her: "Hmm." ”
When the cattle seller heard them say that they wanted to buy a buffalo, he was surprised and delighted, and he was surprised that the farmer could not buy many buffaloes, and he was pleased that the money he made from selling one buffalo was equivalent to the money he made from selling two oxen.
In the end, Jing Jing chose a buffalo that was particularly strong and healthy at first glance and bought it, spending five or four hundred dollars.
Then, Jing Jing and Xiao Changyi took the cow to the carpenter's shop and bought a small cart for the cow to pull and make an ox cart, and the small cart cost a hundred yuan.
Passing by a rice shop, Xiao Changyi pulled quietly in, and then bought ten catties of polished rice, which was very expensive, costing twenty yuan a catty, and spent a total of two hundred yuan.
Jing Jing actually didn't plan to buy polished rice, but Xiao Changyi pulled her in, obviously she had to buy it, and she also knew in her heart that he bought it for her to eat, so she didn't go against his will at all, and let him buy ten catties of polished rice and put it on the ox cart.
They can't afford to eat rice at a time, but it's still okay to drink some very thin rice porridge at every meal, and the last time he bought polished rice was eaten by them.
Glimpsing a pork shop not far away, he quietly said, "Xianggong, let's go buy some pork bones." ”
didn't wait for Xiao Changyi to speak, he lowered his voice and said to Xiao Changyi: "Bone soup is very replenishing, especially the kind of soup made of big bones, my original pig bones in that world are much more expensive than pork, and you people here really don't know the goods." ”
Pork is 12 wen a catty, and pork ribs are 10 wen a catty, but those big bones, because there is not much meat on them, and people here don't know that the big bone soup is particularly nutritious, so it is very cheap, and you can buy a catty for 5 yuan.
As soon as Jing Jing arrived next to the pork shop, he bought four catties of bones and spent twenty yuan.
When Jing Jing bought pork bones and turned around, she happened to see Xiao Changyi standing behind her with a string of sugar gourds.
As soon as Xiao Changyi saw her turn around, he handed her the sugar gourd in his hand: "Give." ”
