Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 552 Chapter 550 one word: Buy a horse
Song Qiu nodded, "My uncle is planning to buy two horses for his journey. I saw them at the livestock market in Shunyang County. The horses are not very good and the price is very expensive. I heard that there is a horse market in Yunshan County. , specially for the sale of horses raised by the Wula people, and the price of the horses is also reasonable, so I want to go to the horse market to have a look.”

"But if you want to go in, you have to spend money to buy a hand, and you need a hand to buy a horse!"

"My uncle saw that almost all the horses there were bought by horse dealers. If he bought a handle, he might not be able to pick a suitable horse, so he didn't spend that money."

"Look, there are five of us in one car."

She said, looking at Ada with bright eyes, "My uncle talks a lot, and I don't want to sit in a car with him and listen to his chatter all the way, so I really want to buy what my uncle thinks is suitable as soon as possible." Let him ride the horse! The horse market can’t be bought, so I thought this horse was brought to sell by people from the Wula tribe, you are from the Wula tribe, but you still have horses for sale?”

Song Qiu said it sincerely, there is such a thing.

When Ada listened, her expression became joyful, and she couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man beside her.

Seeing that Dad didn't respond, he couldn't help but open his mouth to say something.

Although Song Qiu didn't understand, but judging from the look and expression, he could guess that the girl wanted her father to sell her a horse.

The middle-aged man looked at Song Qiu twice, and said something in a murmur, and Ada curled his lips in disappointment.

At this moment, Meng Chaoqun from behind opened his mouth and came, "Ah Ling, what are you two doing staying there? Hurry up and come here, eat and rest enough, we have to hurry!"

Song Qiu turned his head, curled his lips and said: "Uncle! They are from Wula, and they have horses for sale! Let's buy horses from them! You can ride horses after buying Uncle Ma, I don't want to sit with you and listen to your nagging Woolen cloth!"

"Are they from Wula?" Meng Chaoqun raised his eyebrows, then got up and strode towards this side, "You girl has good eyesight! Does this look different from ours? Are you really from Wula?"

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of the middle-aged man, grinned and said, "Big brother, are you from Ula? Are there really horses for sale?"

Meng Chaoqun was gentle, with a smile, and he spoke kindly, which made people feel good about him.

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and then answered the conversation aloud. The Chinese he spoke was just as bad as Ada's.

"You really want to buy a horse?"

Meng Chaoqun nodded, "Yes! We are going to Suzhou. There is only one carriage, and the crowd is too crowded, so I want to buy two horses. How did you sell those horses?"

The middle-aged man heard that there were only two horses, and he didn't seem to be a horse dealer, so he said, "The price we sell at the horse market is between 14 taels and 14 taels. It depends on the quality. You want a better horse. Or average? A good horse must have at least [-] taels.”

As he spoke, there was still a trace of imperceptible tension and embarrassment in his tone.

Good horse only 14 taels?

Song Qiu thought that his brown-red horse was an ordinary horse, not as good as their big horse pulling a cart, and it was 18 taels!
Calculated on the basis of eight taels, although the horse dealer is busy, he can earn ten taels for every profit, blood earning!

If the good horse has the level of their cart horse, 14 taels, it is really not expensive.

At this moment, Song Qiu didn't mention that now Wula people have to hand over 14% of the money they get from selling horses in the horse market to the government, so [-] taels of silver are only less than nine taels of silver in their hands.

It is a horse squeezed by the government and raised hard by others, 14 taels of silver, not expensive.

Meng Chaoqun then continued: "I think your horses pulling carts are quite good. Is there such a thing? How do you sell them?"

The middle-aged man said: "This horse is considered to be the best in my family's horses. Do you want this? That is 14 taels of silver, a lot of money!"

Meng Chaoqun listened and nodded, "Okay, that's it, you sell me two horses!"

After finishing speaking, he paused and said: "We are all honest people, I sincerely sell horses to you, don't fool me with bad horses and so on!"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that he was willing to buy two horses for 14 taels without asking the price.

Probably because he was almost numb due to the price pressure of the horse dealers. It was the first time that he met such a talkative and non-bargaining person.

For a moment, the middle-aged man, including the young man, became a little embarrassed.

After a while, the middle-aged man touched the back of his head, and there was a hint of caring naivety in his expression, "My horse is absolutely good, and I won't fool you, but you don't know, I sell this horse at the horse market for this price Not bad, but I have to pay [-]% to the people in the horse market, so I don’t have so many in my hands.”

"How about this, if you buy it sincerely, I will give you five taels of silver for my two horses?"

Listening to this, Song Qiu was also moved by this man's honesty.

They all said that 14 taels are willing to buy it, and they didn't mention the horse market commission or not, but this man took the initiative to say it, and was willing to lose five taels of silver.

If he didn't say it, they would have bought it, and he would have got five taels of silver more.

No wonder he was fooled by the horse dealer, this Wula man is really simple and honest.

She gave Meng Chaoqun a wink, and Meng Chaoqun immediately said, "We are not from the horse market, so why are we still whipping you? 14 taels is 14 taels, you promise to pick the best horse for me, Just don't fool me."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he said in a moment: "It's not easy for us to raise horses. We were fooled by horse dealers in the past, but now we have to give money to the horses that have been sold so hard. The city pays [-]%.

You don't know, there are horse dealers who come to our tribe to collect horses under the pretext of saying that the horse market will get a commission, and the price is even lower!
If you don’t sell to the horse dealers who come to your door, you will pay [-]% to the horse market if you go all the way to the horse market. In short, we are the ones who lose money!

In the past few years, our tribe has kept fewer horses, and our life has been tight, which is far worse than those years.

Brother, you are like this, I really don't know what to say, don't worry, I will pick the best horse for you! "

Then he asked: "This place is still tens of miles away from our tribe. Do you follow me to our tribe, or should I send it out to you? If I send it out, it will be dark when I go back now. I can't bring the horse out until early tomorrow morning, where can I find you?"

This is a problem.

Song Qiu thought about it, they were not familiar with the Ula tribe, whether they were chaotic or not, and whether they were all as honest as the man in front of them, it was not clear if they were going there right now, they would have to spend the night there. If you don't have the courage of those horse dealers, don't go rashly.

It would be too troublesome to send someone to Gongcheng tomorrow.

After thinking about the route on the hand-drawn map, she said, "There is Liujiaji seven or eight miles ahead, we will wait for you there!"

The middle-aged man nodded in response, "Our tribe is not far from Liujiaji, so you can wait here. I will send a horse to you in the morning when I go back!"
