Chapter Twenty-Three: Buying a Carriage

Thinking about Lin Yao, he raised his head and smiled at him, "Uncle, I really don't want to make this meat sauce, but how about I sell you the recipe for the meat sauce?" ”

Hearing this, the man looked at Lin Yao with surprise and joy, "Really? Little girl, you have thought about it, in the long run, this seller is naturally not more profitable than selling things. ”

Hearing the man say this, Lin Yao was a little surprised in her heart, it seems that this uncle has a good heart, and he didn't just care about making money and deceiving himself, she bent her lips and said affirmatively, "That's right, I've already thought about it, I really want to sell you the recipe for meat sauce, uncle, do you want to buy it?" ”

"Buy! Of course you have to buy it, little girl, then how much are you going to sell!" Fools don't buy it, with this recipe, are you afraid of a few cans of meat sauce on the other side? After thinking for a moment, he said, "But little girl, you have to promise me that this recipe for meat sauce is not to be sold to anyone but me." "Otherwise, my own recipe is worthless.

"Nature." Lin Yao nodded eloquently.

But thinking of the price, Lin Yao was a little drumming in her heart, and she didn't know how much she should sell, but thinking that she didn't make money from meat sauce, she said, "How about a hundred taels?" ”

"A hundred taels? Of course, little girl, in order to prevent others from saying that I bullied you, uncle, I will give you an extra fifty taels. After speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for Lin Yao to answer, leaving a sentence, "The little girl is waiting for me to go back and get the money." ”

Looking at the man's chubby body running away frantically, Lin Yao couldn't help but hook her lips, thinking that this uncle was really cute.

After a while, the man hurried back with a pen and paper, took out two silver tickets and a contract seal and handed them to Lin Yao, "Little girl, take a look, if it's right, press the guarantee of the meat sauce." ”

Lin Yao didn't care about the two silver tickets, but picked up the contract and looked at it carefully, although there were some traditional characters she didn't know, but she understood the general meaning, it was nothing more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy out her meat sauce making recipe, and she was not allowed to sell the meat sauce recipe to others.

After reading it, Lin Yao smiled, put down the contract, directly picked up the ink on the side, pressed the handprint, and handed it to the man.

The man was surprised while taking back the contract, this little girl's bearing is not like what an ordinary country girl should have, she didn't even blink her eyes when she saw the silver ticket of one hundred and fifty taels, and she couldn't read when she looked like she just now?

Accepting the contract with questions, he said, "Little girl, I also brought this pen and paper, why don't you write the recipe to me now?" ”

Thinking that he could only write some simple words, Lin Yao immediately refused, "I can't write, why don't I say how about you write?" ”

Hearing this, the man was a little strange, obviously this little girl was literate when she looked at the contract just now, why can't she write again? But he didn't think much about it, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, you say I'll write." ”

Lin Yao read out the recipe for the meat sauce, and after the man finished memorizing it, he read it again to confirm that it was correct, and then he stuffed the silver ticket into Lin Yao's hand, "The little girl has collected the silver ticket, the silver goods are two, and this matter is also done, so the uncle will leave first." After saying that, the man waved his hand and walked away with Fang Zi's fart.

After the man left, Lin Yao was in a trance when he touched the one hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets in his arms, it turned out that he was just selling a meat sauce recipe to make money, it seems that when he has time, he can think of a few more dishes from his previous life to sell for some money.

Less than an hour later, twenty cans of honey lemonade were quickly sold out, and then Lin Yao took the rose water to sell it, but it was all sold out after a while, looking at the one hundred and fifty taels that were still early in the sky and the white one hundred and fifty taels in his arms, Lin Yao thought that he could go and buy a carriage now.

After asking a few passers-by, she finally found a place to sell ox carts and carriages, and she saw a large yard from a distance, in which cattle and horses were kept in captivity on one side, and all kinds of wooden carts were placed on the other side, and there were some covered wooden carts that rich people rode when they went out.

Lin Yao walked in with some curiosity, looked slowly, and there was no one to entertain her for a while, and she was not in a hurry, and continued to look at the horses and vehicles carefully.

Just as she was looking, a middle-aged man with a long sharp-beaked monkey cheek and a pockmarked face walked towards her, looking at Lin Yao's tattered appearance, he hurriedly frowned and coaxed him disdainfully, "Where did you come from, go, go out to ask for food, don't delay our business here!"

Hearing this, Lin Yao's face was slightly cold, and her voice was cold, "I'm here to buy a car, not to ask for food, please be respectful." ”

"Huh! Buy a car, tell a joke, our cheapest car also costs two or three taels of silver, where did you get the money to buy a car for a wild girl who can't even afford clothes, get out quickly, if you don't go out, I'll call someone to blow you out!" Hearing this, the man sneered even more disdainfully.

The people around them glanced sideways when they heard the movement, and found that it was indeed a guy who was coaxing a little girl dressed in tatters like a begging for food, and she didn't make a sound, watching the excitement from the sidelines.

Looking at the young man's contemptuous eyes and the look of the people around him watching and having fun, Lin Yao snorted coldly in his heart and didn't want to say more, he wanted to turn around and leave, they were not the only ones who sold cars, so why bother to talk about business with a group of people who judge people by their appearance.

Just as she was about to leave, a polite and mellow male voice called out to her behind her, "Girl, please wait a minute." ”

Lin Yao turned her head suspiciously and found that it was a young man wearing a coarse cloth green shirt, with a delicate appearance and polite manners, the man's face was fair and handsome, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

He was hurrying towards him, and said, "I'm a fellow here, and the girl wants to buy a car, so I can help the girl with a counselor." ”

Hearing this, before Lin Yao could react, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man on the side said sarcastically, "Jiang Zimo, are you pulling this wild girl to buy a car if you can't find a buyer, and don't look at what she can buy?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zimo's expression turned slightly colder, but his elegant temperament did not change, and he replied, "This girl said that she came to buy a car, so it is our responsibility to introduce the car to her, as for whether this girl buys it or not, it is not our business." ”

"Phew, dead nerd!" The man didn't want to reply to his boring words, so he smacked and left.

Seeing that the man was gone, Jiang Zimo smiled at Lin Yao, "What kind of car is the girl going to buy?" ”

Looking at the man's polite and gentlemanly appearance, Lin Yao had a good impression of him, "I want to buy a horse and a carriage." After thinking about it, she added, "The car should have a canopy." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zimo was slightly stunned, "Girl, this carriage with a canopy is more than twice as expensive as the flatbed cart used by ordinary people." ”

He actually felt that this little girl couldn't afford to buy a car, but he couldn't watch a big man bully a little girl, so he stood up to help her, but he didn't expect this little girl to really want to buy a car.

Lin Yao smiled indifferently, "I have brought enough silver, so you can rest assured." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zimo had no choice but to lead her around and introduce her to the details of various carriages and horses one by one.

After walking around for a while, Lin Yao finally chose a brown mare who had just become an adult and looked lively, and picked a carriage with a canopy.

She didn't really know how to pick these horses and carriages, but her instincts told her that this man wouldn't lie to herself, so she quickly made her choice.

Looking at the horses and vehicles that Lin Yao had chosen, Jiang Zimo calculated and said, "The horse is forty-five taels of silver, and the carriage is seven taels of silver, a total of fifty-two taels." ”

Hearing the price, Lin Yao nodded understandingly, took out a fifty taels of silver ticket and two taels of silver from his arms and handed it to him, this scene made the pockmarked man who had been watching them next to him stunned in place, he was originally going to jump out and taunt her when Lin Yao couldn't pay, and slap Jiang Zimo's face by the way, but he didn't expect this little girl in tattered clothes to carry so much money.

Jiang Zimo was also stunned for a moment when he saw the silver, but he quickly calmed down, took the silver, and said with a smile, "Girl, wait a minute, I'll go get the list." ”

Lin Yao smiled and said hello.

In ancient times, horses and vehicles were too valuable, so in order to prevent theft, it was common to include a receipt slip to prove that they belonged to you in the future.

But after a while, Jiang Zimo hurried back and handed a slip of ink to Lin Yao, "Girl, press the handprint." ”

Lin Yao nodded, pressed the handprint, and accepted the order.

Generally, the horses and vehicles are bought at the same time in the parking lot, and the guys have to help install them for free, so after the handover, Jiang Zimo rolled up his sleeves and helped Lin Yao install the horses and vehicles she bought.

Looking at the man with a bookish face but skillfully doing the action of installing the carriage, Lin Yao couldn't help but be a little curious, this Jiang Zimo had an obvious callus on the side of the middle finger of his right hand, and the rest of the place was full of fine skin and tender meat, coupled with his all-round temperament, she was sure that he must be a scholar, but why did he come to this place where horses and vehicles were sold to sit as a man?

And obviously from the words of the pockmarked man just now, it can be clearly heard that this man is not doing well here, thinking of this, Lin Yao rolled his eyes slightly, and stepped forward with a smile.

"Brother Jiang, I see that you are a scholar, you should be a scholar, why are you here now?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zimo was stunned, and he didn't care about the privacy of Lin Yao's question, a trace of pain flashed in his clear eyes, and said, "Alas, Miss Lin, why don't I want to study, I won't tell you, I am indeed a scholar, but my mother suddenly fell seriously ill the year before last and has spent most of the family's savings, no way, I can only come out and do some tricks, but I don't know anything else, only the business of selling carriages that my father once did, so I came here." ”

Hearing his words, Lin Yao was a little happy, she was still worried that no one would take care of her when she took care of the store in a few days, isn't this a person with good character and ability?

She leaned down with her hands behind her back and bent her lips, and said with a bright face, "I'm going to open a shop in a few days, and it just so happens that no one takes care of it, Brother Jiang is so good, it's too big to be a guy here, it's better for Brother Jiang to come to me, I can guarantee that the salary I give is definitely not low, and Brother Jiang is allowed to read books in his spare time, I don't know what Brother Jiang thinks?" ”
