Chapter 111 Purchasing
Mother Lin retracted her hand that she had just stretched out, and put the money into her arms.
Hu San's face froze, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
I'm afraid that I won't even be able to earn 800 yuan now.
Chen Qiulan felt a little embarrassed looking at the direction of Nanzhi's finger, and then whispered: "Fat girl, that's a mule, which is more expensive than a donkey."
There were five mules in the yard, but she didn't even look at them because mules were more expensive than donkeys.
"How much does it cost?" Hearing her sister-in-law say that a mule would be more expensive, Nanzhi calmed down. If it was really much more expensive, it would be better to buy a donkey.
"This mule costs three and a half."
Hu San answered the question in time, stretched out his hand and gestured with three fingers.
Chen Qiulan was stunned. This mule only costs three taels?
Look at the mule chosen by my sister-in-law.
The head is thick and the ears are slightly long. It is much taller than those donkeys. Its four hooves are narrower than that of a horse, but its body shape is very close to that of a horse.
His eyes lit up.
This mule is really good!
Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law's satisfaction, Mother Lin knew that this mule was really good, and her daughter would be good at choosing one. However, she hesitated when she thought about the only five taels of silver in her arms.
A mule costs three taels of silver, and a donkey costs two taels or four hundred coins. Even if he adds copper coins, he is still short of more than two hundred coins...
"Sister-in-law, go and see if there are any better mules, and if so, pick out two more!"
Nanzhi spoke and looked at Hu San.
She remembered, wasn't this person the rogue who met Shopkeeper Wan of Wan Yong Liang Shop before?
Being stared at by Nanzhi, Hu San shivered and quickly apologized when he realized that she recognized him.
It was also because he was acting stupid at that time that he took the wrong path. After what happened last time, he also changed his mind and stopped following them.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Hu San wiped the sweat from his forehead while smiling apologetically.
He was also worried that the little woman would be angry because of what happened before. Then it would no longer be a matter of making less money, and he was afraid that the business would go bankrupt.
"Fat girl..." Mother Lin glanced at her daughter, wanting to say something but worried about Hu San being here.
"Mom, don't worry, just let my sister-in-law choose. Second sister-in-law, you can discuss the price with Yazi."
Nanzhi emphasized the words "discuss the price" very seriously.
Hu San had a wry smile on his face after hearing this.
Hearing what she said, Chen Qiulan nodded and looked at the mule on the side. Sun Cui continued to discuss the price with Hu San, and Mother Lin walked to her side.
"Fat Ya, we don't have enough money..."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Nanzhi said and took Mother Lin's hand.
Feeling the weight in her hand, the sadness on Mother Lin's face turned into surprise, and when she looked at her daughter, she was a little confused.
Where did this money fat girl come from?
"Zhiyu was left behind by his father." Nanzhi whispered.
Mother Lin nodded, feeling better about her son-in-law's senses.
Finally, Chen Qiulan picked out two better mules from the four mules, and then came over.
"Mom, these two are good. The one Fatty chose is the best."
"OK."
Sun Cui also agreed on a price, two taels of silver for a mule and seven hundred wen.
Mother Lin handed over the money, and then went to write the receipt with Hu San, and then took everyone away.
Nanzhi followed at the end and was stopped by Hu San when he passed by.
"Madam, I'm really sorry for what happened last time." Hu San said and bowed to express his apology.
Nanzhi didn't say anything, just nodded and followed.
Seeing the group of people leaving, Hu San felt relieved.
At least some losses were recovered.
After leaving Nanshi, the group went to buy some things.
Seeing that the sun was already hanging slanting on the edge of the mountain, Nanzhi and the others also accelerated their pace.
What are you afraid of?
Just two-quarters of an hour after leaving the town, they saw a few people blocking the road in front of them.
Those people were all wearing coarse linen clothes, and they looked vicious. Their eyes were all bloodshot, and they all held wooden sticks and poles in their hands.
"Stay back." As Lin Yicheng spoke, he took out the hatchet from his waist, and everyone in Nanzhi also took out their newly purchased knives.
Lin Ercheng stood aside, with a foot-long sword in his hand still glowing coldly under the sunlight.
The people blocking the road in front of them looked at their formation and couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts.
They are all farmers in villages outside the town.
At first, everyone was looking forward to buying new grains after the autumn harvest, but as a result, there was no harvest this year. By the time everyone tried to buy grains after emptying their pockets, the price of grains was already unbearable.
A while ago, someone in the village said that there was cheap grain in the grain shop in the town, but when they bought it, they found that it was mixed with sediment and impossible to eat. Now everyone has neither food nor money.
After being hungry for more than ten days, we got together and thought about going out to grab some food.
But now these people all seem to have knives in their hands, especially the two men at the head. No matter how they look at them, they make people feel scared.
For a while, several people also retreated.
The two groups were in a stalemate. Nanzhi didn't dare to rush over because there were so many people on the other side, but everyone on the opposite side was hungry for a long time and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to beat him.
It wasn't until a familiar voice came from behind that the deadlock was broken.
"Sister Nanzhi?"
Shen Yuntian looked at the road in front of him from a distance and felt strange that someone was blocking it. Now when he got closer, he realized that it was Nanzhi and the others.
"Yuntian?" Nanzhi heard someone calling him, and when he subconsciously looked back, his eyes lit up when he found that it was the three brothers Shen Yuntian.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yuntian looked at their posture and asked, then he looked up and saw the person in front of him holding a wooden stick to block the road.
The three brothers winked and each took out hatchets from their backpacks. Together with Lin Yicheng and Lin Erchen, they guarded the four women behind them.
The people blocking the road felt timid when they saw three more tall and strong men coming. They looked at each other and left.
No one blocked the road anymore. The two brothers from the Lin family walked at the front, Nanzhi and the other four walked in the middle with three mules, and the three brothers from the Shen family guarded them at the end. After walking for a while, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yun Tian, what are you doing?" Lin Yicheng looked at the three Shen brothers each carrying a basket, and was a little curious.
"My grandma asked us to go to the town to inquire about some news and buy some things." Shen Yuntian replied with a smile. In fact, his grandma has been feeling uneasy recently, so she asked the three of them to go to the town to inquire about recent events and buy some more. Something to defend yourself from.
Aren't the knives they just took just new ones?
"But Brother Lin, why did you buy three mules?" Looking at the three mules, Shen Yuntian scratched his head.
Now at this time, all the donkeys in my family are despised.
If you want to raise a donkey, you have to go to the mountains to cut grass every day, which is very troublesome. There are several families in the village who want to sell their donkeys. Why do Brother Lin and others buy them from home?
Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
It can’t be said that it’s because my girl is so magical that she had a dream about mules, so she bought three mules, right?
Mother Lin spoke up: "Boy, Shen family, please pay more attention to your family these days, and repair and look at the carts and other things at home."
Although Shen Yuntian didn't understand what she meant, he nodded in agreement.
