Chapter 32: Buying a Donkey
"Yunzhu is here?" After breakfast the next day, Yun Zhu finished his work and came to Ning's house, the father and son of the Ning family had nothing to do today, they were sitting in the yard chatting, and when they saw Yun Zhu coming, they smiled and said hello to her.
"Uncle Ning, Brother Ning Lin." Laughing back, Yun Zhu walked directly to the room where she put her things, Ning Lin stood up and followed her into the house.
"I'll help you move the soy sauce out, and you will be busy with the rest." Seeing Yun Zhu walking towards the corner, Ning Lin said hello with a smile, and then began to move the soy sauce jar outside.
"Thank you, Brother Ninglin." With a grateful face, Yun Zhu took away the gauze covering the basin, only to see that the mung beans in the basin had already sprouted thin bean sprouts.
Very happy in his heart, Yunzhu took the basin out of the house, then covered it with a layer of clean cloth, found a basin and pressed it on the previous basin, controlled the water in it to dry, and changed the water several times, Yunzhu brought the basin with the bean sprouts back to the house, and pressed something very heavy on the basin.
In the next few days, I only need to come and change the water a few times a day, in the past, in modern times, grandma would wait for six or seven days, and it is estimated that it will be the same here.
After getting the bean sprouts, Yunzhu began to process the glutinous rice again, after all, the mash is still very popular with Qiu Niang.
After a few days in a row, the mash began to make the next batch again, the bean sprouts were getting better and better, and the donkey finally had news.
"Uncle Ning, you can call the shots, didn't we say the same before? I don't know if this thing is good or not, and I can't tell how old or male or female, if you think the price is right, you can help me negotiate it. Looking at the little donkey in front of him, Yunzhu pulled Ning Yi aside and muttered quietly.
"That's it, then I'll help you get an idea." Nodding, Ning Yi turned around to negotiate the price with the donkey, Yunzhu turned his head to look, and saw that Ning Yi had put his hand into the sleeve of the donkey, and the expressions on the faces of the two people couldn't see anything, only the hands in the sleeves were moving.
After a while, Ning Yi walked back with a happy face, and nodded at Yunzhu, "It's done, this donkey is ours, and the frame on its body is also ours." ”
Hearing Ning Yi say this, Yun Zhu's eyes widened with some surprise, you must know that it costs money to buy a donkey, and it also costs money to buy a frame, and now that you buy a donkey and earn a frame, it is really a very suitable deal.
"This is what I was introduced by an acquaintance, the person is very good, so you can rest assured, I have just seen it, I am a doctor, although I usually treat people, but I also know a little about this livestock, there is no problem." Seeing Yun Zhu smiling happily, Ning Yi's face also showed a smile, he reached out and touched the donkey's head, and opened his mouth to explain to Yun Zhu.
After a while, the donkey seller took a deed and handed it over to Ning Yi, who handed over the bag containing the money to the donkey seller, and the business was completely completed.
Catching up with the donkey cart, Ning Yi and Yunzhu walked towards the village, on the way, Yunzhu looked at the donkey cart he was sitting in, and couldn't help but ask the price.
"Just now, I negotiated the price with the donkey seller in the sleeve, he told me that the donkey is nine taels of silver, I have seen the donkey before, although it is good, but I think the nine taels are high, I will bargain, and it will be six taels, he saw that I pressed the price very hard, and he disagreed, in fact, I also know that the six taels are indeed unlikely, but the purpose of this is to be able to negotiate the price."
Hearing Yunzhu ask, Ning Yi opened his mouth to explain, "He knew that I bought it sincerely, so he discussed eight taels, I still think it is high, but six taels is impossible, I pondered, I bought a donkey and bought a frame, at least one and a half taels of silver, so I simply told him seven taels, bring the frame, he stopped doing it when he heard it, and told me that either eight taels with the frame, or not sell, I knew that this was the end, so I agreed." ”
As soon as Ning Yi's words fell, Yun Zhu suddenly looked at him with a look of admiration, when the two of them were talking about the price just now, Yun Zhu was watching from the side, there was hardly much expression on the faces of the two, only the hands were moving, but now Ning Yi's explanation was so detailed, Yun Zhu knew that talking about the price was also a kung fu, and if he was himself, he was afraid that it would be good if he could buy the donkey in eight taels, so this Doctor Ning is really powerful.
Good people, kind-hearted, and quite good in dealing with people, if such a man can be a husband to his mother, he must be very good.
Thinking like this, Yun Zhu's little abacus in her heart opened, she had thought about this matter once before, but then she got busy and added the matter of sticky insects, and she left it behind again.
It seems that I should find a reason or opportunity to let the two of them get along and see if each other has that meaning? Of course, you have to do this at the right time, otherwise it can easily backfire.
"Pearl, what do you want?" Seeing that Yun Zhu was a little stunned, Ning Yi smiled and spoke, Yun Zhu quickly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up, "I was thinking that Uncle Ning is really amazing, I just looked at your hands in my sleeves, and I was still thinking about what I was doing." I was talking about the price! ”
"Well, this is a kind of price negotiation rule, usually what kind of livestock, or big things will do this, like those places on the street to buy rice, flour, grain and oil, or small things, it will not be like this." Nodding, Ning Yi explained briefly to Yun Zhu.
Because he had told Ning Yi before that the donkey would stay at Ning Yi's house, after arriving in the village, Ning Yi drove the donkey cart home directly, while Yunzhu walked back to Yun's house.
As soon as she thought that she had a donkey, Yunzhu felt so happy in her heart that when she returned home, she had a smile on her face when she met Zhang's scolding her, which made Zhang's heart furious, and she simply went into the house and stopped looking at her.
When this batch of mash was good, the bean sprouts were all good, Yunzhu looked at the fat bean sprouts in the pot, and only felt that the saliva had reached his mouth.
On the same day at Ning Yi's house, in addition to making vinegar bean sprouts, Yunzhu also made a bean sprouts cold dish, for what Yunzhu made this time, the Ning family's father and son reacted even more than when they ate sour and hot potato shreds before.
"I always thought that mung beans could only be boiled into mung bean soup, but I didn't expect that they could be made into bean sprouts and such a delicious dish, Zhu'er, the Granny He who taught you is really amazing." After eating, Ning Yi sighed with a smile on his face, "Your bean sprouts can be sold to our village, so it will save you from going to the town." ”
"Uncle Ning, I've also thought about selling it to the people in the village, but now is not the time, just take vinegar bean sprouts and cold bean sprouts, vinegar is a must-have, but I don't want others to know about vinegar yet." After a moment of silence, Yunzhu spoke again, she believed that once the Zhang family knew that they could make money, they would definitely force her to hand it over to her mother, and now they were living in her grandfather's house, not her own home, and she didn't want to make too much trouble.
Hearing Yun Zhu say this, Ning Yi probably understood what she was thinking. "Since that's the case, then you can sell it to Qiu Niang, presumably she must like it."
"Well, the bean sprouts were sold to Qiu Niang, and the recipe for cooking was also sold to her, and then the vinegar was sold to her and Boss Zhang respectively." Nodding with a smile, Yunzhu continued to speak, "Uncle Ning, I left some for you and Brother Ning Lin, because this thing is not good for a long time, so I didn't keep too much, enough to eat for a few days, and then wait for the next time, and then leave you a new one." ”
"It's a lot of money, so it's good to try it." Smiled and waved his hand, Ning Yi opened his mouth to refuse, but Yunzhu insisted, so he didn't say anything anymore, anyway, every time Yunzhu gave himself something, he would secretly put some money into Yunzhu's money, after all, it was not easy for other children.
After eating, Yun Zhu carried the basket on her back and went up the mountain, and now that she has a little donkey, it is already very troublesome to put it in the Ning family, and she can't let Ning Yi and Ning Lin help prepare forage.
Fortunately, donkeys are still relatively easy to feed, and general grass likes to be eaten, and Yunzhu raises donkeys for foot power, not for selling or eating, so it is more convenient to raise.
On weekdays, Yunzhu is only used as exercise, and usually goes to the mountains to pick forage.
When I arrived at the mountain, Yunzhu walked along the path I usually walked, and now it was almost August, and the day was getting hotter and hotter, but fortunately there was a forest on the mountain, which could shelter one or two.
After walking a distance, Yunzhu sat under a tree and planned to rest for a while, the back basket on his body was already loaded, and it was about to be full, and if there was more, he was afraid that it would not be able to fit it.
"Bang!" Something fell from the tree and hit Yunzhu's head, she reached out and rubbed her head, looking up at the tree.
I saw that on the big tree that Yunzhu was leaning on, there was a person sitting on it, and what hit Yunzhu's head was what the person threw down.
"Hey, who are you? How do you hit people with things? Because of the shade of the tree, Yunzhu couldn't see the person on the tree clearly, only that he was wearing a black dress.
What a fool to wear black clothes on such a hot day. Thinking to himself in his heart, Yunzhu didn't see the person above answer for a long time, so he had to carry the basket and move to the other side of the tree.
"Bang!" Just sat down for a while, another thing smashed on Yunzhu's head, this time Yunzhu stood up directly, stretched out his hand and pointed at the person on the tree, "Hey, you come down for me!" ”
The person on the tree heard Yunzhu's voice and looked down at her, Yunzhu tried to look, but still couldn't see the person's face, she was a little depressed, looked at the tree in front of her, and wondered if she should go up and pull down the person who smashed her.
"If you don't apologize, or if you don't come down, I'll go up!" Finding a place to go up, Yunzhu put his hand on the tree and opened his mouth to threaten.
I thought that the person on the tree would be as silent as before, but I didn't expect that after Yunzhu's words were finished, the person actually stood up on the tree, and then jumped down from the tree......
