Chapter 201: Buying a Sick Horse
Wu Yourong was extremely happy to hear it.
He hurriedly said, "Then Miss Qiao will take our Wu family's carriage back." We're all in this together. ”
Qiao Huaping came to the county this time, mainly to sell pills, and secondly, she also wanted to go to the car and horse shop to see the car and horse market in the county.
She often comes to the county, and always waits for a long time on the road to get a ride, which is a bit troublesome.
When planning the courtyard before, Qiao Huaping had already reserved the location of the stables in advance.
In the past two days, at her request, the craftsmen have set up the stables first, so that they can raise horses.
If there is no accident this time, she wants to buy a horse to go back.
Qiao Huaping also said very simply: "I want to buy some things in the county, it may take half an hour, or Young Master Wu or-"
Wu Yourong immediately answered: "It's okay, it's okay." It's only half an hour. ”
He was afraid that Qiao Huaping would think that he was too attentive, so he hurriedly added: "The girl is busy herself, and I still have to read some account books in this good medicine hall." ”
Qiao drew his head and took his leave.
Wu Yourong sat down refreshed, and as soon as he took a sip of tea, he was shocked by the stack of account books that Uncle Kun brought him: "Uncle Kun, you ......"
Uncle Kun looked very relieved: "The third young master is so concerned about the family industry, the old lady, the old master, and the eldest young master and the second young master will be very happy if they know about it." ”
Wu Yourong: "......"
He just casually found an excuse, how could Uncle Kun take it seriously!
But when the words were spoken, it was hard for him to swallow them back.
Wu Yourong had no choice but to sigh in resignation, picked up the account book, and looked at it carefully.
Besides, Qiao Huaping inquired about the carriage and horse dealership, only to find that the price of this horse had doubled this year.
After all, it's a war, and it's understandable.
That is, this ordinary horse costs forty taels of silver, which is really too expensive.
Qiao Huaping twisted her eyebrows slightly, she didn't have no money, but she didn't really want to pay double the amount of money.
Seeing that Qiao Huaping was silent, the agent of the carriage and horse dealer hurriedly sold to her: "If the little lady thinks that the horse is too expensive, she can also buy a mule, which is also excellent." ”
Sounds like an option, too.
Is it to buy a horse, or to buy a mule?
At this moment, Qiao Huaping's eyes fell on a sick horse in the corner, kneeling on the ground, looking at the listless horse.
"This horse ......"
The agent of the carriage and horse dealer showed a gloomy face: "Don't mention it, this horse was originally a good horse, and in the past, when the price did not rise, it had to be sold for dozens of taels of silver." But I don't know what kind of illness I suddenly had, so I invited a doctor who specializes in veterinary diseases to come over, and fed a lot of medicine regardless of current affairs, I'm afraid it's just a few days of work. ”
Qiao Huaping raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to take a closer look.
The horse was in very bad spirits, and fell to its knees with its head hanging down, and if it weren't for the slight deception, it looked like it was dead—even Qiao Tuping flipped its ears and touched it, but it didn't react.
Qiao Huaping made a decision in his heart.
"How do you sell this horse?"
The agent of the carriage and horse dealer showed an expression of disbelief: "Little lady, are you crazy?" What do you do when you buy this sick horse that is going to die? Is it eating meat? …… But this horse is a sick horse, and horse meat is not easy to say......"
This agent is a sincere person.
Qiao Huaping said: "I think it's a pity for this horse monster, I can see a little bit of brilliance in the past." Thinking about buying it back and trying to treat it, maybe it's better? ”
The agent of the carriage and horse dealer showed a disagreeing expression.
He has been a broker of this carriage and horse for so many years, and in his eyes, this horse is afraid that he will not live for five days.
This little lady is really naïve, probably knows some medicine, and thinks she can do it.
"It's not going to be better." The cart dealer said bluntly, "I won't hide it from you, and the doctor who specializes in veterinary diseases also said that this horse is not a few days away." If you buy it back, you won't have anything else to do but eat meat. ”
Qiao Huaping insisted very much: "It's okay, I just want to try." ”
The agent of the carriage and horse shop shook his head, anyway, he said it clearly and clearly. This little lady has to jump into the pit, and he can't be blamed for killing people.
"If so, I will sell you ten taels of silver." The broker of the car and horse dealer made a direct decision.
Qiao Huaping was also very refreshing, handing over the money with one hand, leading the horse with the other, and doing the paperwork.
It's just that this horse is sick and can't walk at first sight.
Qiao Huaping took advantage of the unpreparedness, quietly took out a dose of nutrition injection from the space, and stabbed it directly into the horse's buttocks.
The injections worked very quickly, and the horse was visibly in a slightly better spirit—at the very least, its tail moved.
Qiao Huaping was very relieved, and took three leaves from the frost alkali flower in the space under the cover of the blanket - yes, Qiao Huaping saw that the horse was poisoned outside and didn't know what poison he had eaten.
Fortunately, she has a frosty alkali flower that can cure all kinds of poisons.
When the cart dealer turned around, he saw Qiao Huaping feeding the sick horse the leaves of some grass.
He thought to himself, this little lady really doesn't know anything, before this horse got sick, the food was all good forage, I don't know what weed leaves, how can I eat it—
However, the next moment, his eyes widened in shock.
The sick horse opened its mouth with great difficulty and chewed the leaf into its belly!
What shocked him even more was that the little lady surnamed Qiao gently stroked the horse's body, and the horse stood up slowly, slowly!
The cart dealer thought about it for a moment - yes, calculate, it's almost time to get back to the light.
He looked at Qiao Huaping with some sympathy.
For ten taels of silver, buy a dead horse and go back.
Qiao Huaping looked at the expression of the car and horse broker, and knew what this person thought.
She didn't care, smiled, and said hello to this person: "I just fed the horses some grass, and it seems to be in good spirits." I want to come and go in a while. ”
The car and horse brokers don't know what to say.
Qiao Huaping also wanted to buy another matching carriage, she asked to be a little bigger, after all, there are many children in the family, and next time she can use the carriage to pull the children out to play.
However, the poisoning of the horse in front of me has just been relieved, and it will take some time to completely clean the toxins from the body.
Qiao Huaping thought about it for a while, and simply asked the cart dealer for a pen and paper, drew the carriage design by himself, and added some of the things he wanted to the design drawing.
"Can these be customized?" Qiao asked with a screen.
The car and horse dealer took a closer look at the drawings, and the little lady drew very clearly: "Can it be ...... But ......"
He wanted to speak, but he stopped.
Your horse is about to die, and you still have to buy a carriage to do.
Qiao Huaping seemed to guess what he was thinking, and just smiled: "It's okay, you just have to do it." ”
In order to show her sincerity, she even left a deposit of ten taels of silver.
Seeing this, the broker of the carriage and horse dealer had no choice but to come down, and made an appointment to send the carriage to Qiao's house five days later.
