The three of them passed by the Shiquan Inn when they were buying, Ning Changrong looked towards the inn, the shopkeeper Lin was greeting guests, the storytelling desk had been removed and replaced with tables and chairs, and their family had a large bag and a small bag It was inconvenient to go in and disturb it, so they said hello to the shopkeeper Lin and left.

The three of them counted the next livelihood problems all the way, and after buying things, they walked to the meeting point with large bags and small bags.

When they arrived, they returned to the village for some time, so the family found a sheltered place to sit and wait.

Ning Changrong looked at the ox cart of the village chief's house with some greed, and said to Wang Xiujuan: "Mother, do you say we should buy an ox cart ourselves?" ”

"Let's start doing business at the beginning of spring, and this ox cart must also be matched, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go in and out, and we can't borrow the village chief's house all day long, right?"

Wang Xiujuan thought about it and made sense, and waved her hand: "Buy!" ”

Touched his purse again, "I just don't know how much it costs?" ”

Ning Changrong thought about it, after this purchase, he will estimate the next time. Anyway, it's a while before departure, so why don't you go and see the cows. The three of them discussed, put the things at the meeting place, and asked the village chief's daughter-in-law to help watch and leave.

The village chief's daughter-in-law looked at the three of them and didn't know what to say.

Although it was purchased a year ago, this is too much, right? At least the other two families combined have their amount. Look at it, I haven't bought it yet, and I'm going to buy it again......

Ning Changrong took his ancestors and grandchildren to find a tooth man, he had already figured out the road when he came to the county so many times, of course he knew where to sell cattle, but they didn't look at this cow, they had to find someone to take it, so as not to be harmed by people who took sick cattle and bad cows.

Ning Changrong invited a tooth man with a good reputation to take them to see the cow.

Before looking at the cow, Ning Changrong thought that the cow that could be bought for ten taels of silver actually cost twenty taels!

This amount was completely beyond the scope of Ning Changrong's family.

This time, I came to the county to buy a lot of New Year's goods, and the total belongings of the whole body were about 20 taels.

If you use it to buy cattle all at once, won't you have much money? What should I do if I am in a hurry to use the money later? Don't buy cabbage seeds?

Ning Qingxi and the three of them whispered on the side, "Dad, I remember that ancient cattle were not so expensive?" Why is this so outrageous? "She has also read a lot of TV dramas and novels of the Qing Dynasty, and it is only three or five taels of a cow......

Ning Changrong sighed, "I thought that no matter how expensive it was, I could win it at most fifteen taels." ”

Wang Xiujuan knew that there was no hope when she heard the offer from the tooth man, "It's too expensive, our family can't afford it, so let's wait a little longer and go back and save more money." "You can't buy cattle and then the family doesn't do anything, and you don't keep a penny, right?

Ning Changrong and the others looked embarrassed, in fact, they took it for granted. In ancient times, the price of cattle was already high, and this dynasty was relatively backward, there were no good farming tools, and grain production was not good, so if you want to have a good harvest, cattle are indispensable.

What's more, they are still in the war years, and it is inconvenient for merchants to come and go, so it is no wonder that the price of goods does not rise.

Ning Changrong was a little unwilling, and wanted to take a second look, but they had to pay this intermediary fee regardless of whether it was successful or not.

Isn't it a loss to look at a few more? That's twenty wen! It's enough for him to buy a lot of pastries.

Ning Changrong pulled the tooth man, with a sad expression, "Our family didn't have enough money today, and we are in a hurry to buy it, little brother, can you see if there is anything cheaper?" ”

The tooth man thought for a while and said, "Twenty taels for this cow is already the cheapest." There are wars going on everywhere, and it's not convenient for this ox to come over. ”

"I want to be cheap, unless it's some sick cows, cows with bad legs and feet, but I can't buy them in this Year of the Ox. Why don't you buy donkeys? If you donkey, you can buy one for seven or eight taels of silver. You can pull a cart here, right? ”

Ning Changrong didn't reply directly to the tooth people, so he said that he would take them to see it first.

After looking at it for a long time, he found a cow that only cost ten taels, looking like he was about to die, and the tooth man pointed to the cow and said: "This master sells it cheaply, if you buy it back and can cure it, you will pick up a big bargain." ”

Ning Changrong and the others shook their heads, they didn't know how to cure cattle. If this cow can really be cured, will it be their turn to pick up the leak?

Ning Changrong looked away from his eyes, looked around at the cowshed cows, and suddenly found that there was only one cow in the shed, and the other cows were all two or three living together, unless it was a sick cow, there was a single room. But the cow was still very strong, and it didn't look like it was sick.

Ning Qingxi also found out, stepped forward to take a look, the bull bronze bell-like eyes glanced at Ning Qingxi, flicked his tail with disdain, turned his head and stared at Ning Changrong.

The tooth man hurriedly spoke, "Little girl, don't get too close, this cow has a bad temper." ”

Ning Changrong pointed to the cow and asked, "This one looks pretty good, how much is it?" ”

The tooth man looked at him in surprise and hesitated: "You can cheapen this cow if you want." But I can say in advance, this cow has a very stubborn personality, no one can take care of it, and he will kick people as soon as he gets out of the cowpen. It belongs to the kind that does not go away and fights backwards. ”

Ning Changrong took a closer look, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, this thick thigh, beautiful muscle lines, and even his height was a little taller than the cow next to him.

Pulling goods must be very capable!

Wang Xiujuan also took a closer look, this cow does look good and looks very good.

The tooth man saw that their family really liked it and said: "If this cow is priced at a normal price of thirty taels, it may not be able to win, and you have also seen the physique of this cow, which is much stronger than ordinary cattle, and it is still transported from the north." ”

"In July, it was pulled to our county and started to sell, and then it was bought back by many people and returned again. Now it has been reduced to fifteen taels of silver, and after such a long journey, plus several months of forage money, fifteen taels can only be sold to protect the capital. However, the owner said hello, and he would not accept the return of the cow after it was sold. If you want to buy it, you have to think about it. ”

"Fifteen taels?" Ning Changrong touched his chin, and wanted to kill the price again.

The tooth man was embarrassed: "If you want me to be cheaper, then don't open your mouth, this price is already the lowest, you search the whole county, let alone the whole county, you search the whole city, you can't find such a cheap price." ”

"I'll think again."

The tooth man motioned for them to be casual.

Ning Changrong smashed it, smashed it, and pulled Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi to the side to discuss.

"What do you two think? I don't look bad. ”

"It's pretty good, that physique looks like a capable worker."

"But this cow is disobedient, what if it is pulled back and does not work?" When Ning Qingxi and Niu looked at each other, they found that this Niu had a stubborn soul, and he was very arrogant, so he didn't care about her at all.

Ning Changrong touched his chin, "Otherwise, let's try it first, if we can pull it, we will buy it, and if it can't be pulled, forget it." ”

Wang Xiujuan agreed, "Okay, it's decided!" ”
