Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 600 Chapter 590 Nine: The Horse Mule
As the upper county among the big counties, Yunshan County is not overly crowded.

On the fifteenth day, there is a lot of traffic, people come and go, and the sky is noisy.

Liu Zi and the others are like returning to a big town from a deep mountain. As soon as they enter the city gate, their eyes can't help but go everywhere. They want to see everywhere, but they can't see anywhere. full of eyes.

There were too many people, and Song Qiu was afraid that they would be dispersed, and they would be troubled by looking for them, so he simply didn't let them stroll around, and let them walk in a shady alley next to the entrance to the city. All waiting here.

Ask Du Chuanfu to buy a few trays of steamed buns. Everyone will share two or three, and stay here for breakfast.

The cars are also here.

She took A Ling and Li Hua to walk to the cattle market.

The livestock market is not far away, it is in the west of the city, past the gate of the city, walk two streets along the left hand side, and turn down the small forest behind Washi.

In the [-]th fair, all those who can enter the city from ten miles and eight villages will go to the city to go to the market to go shopping and the excitement is coming. Any street is overcrowded and extremely crowded.

Ah Ling showed the aura of being one man and ten thousand husbands, holding Song Qiu with his right hand and Ah Ling with his left hand, forced an empty road, fought his way past the crowd, and arrived at the livestock market.

Don’t think that there are fewer people in a big place like the cattle market. There are still many people here today.

The stakes and the cables tied to the tree trunks are full of all kinds of large animals, such as donkeys, mules, cows, and horses. The smell of feces and urine is strong, and mosquitoes and flies are flying all over the sky.

The voices of people and animals were screaming, boiling and making noise, so loud that people's eardrums hurt.

This scene is lively, rare lively, but to be honest, the feeling of visiting the livestock market on this hot day is really not too good.

As soon as he stepped into the woods, Song Qiu felt that he was about to lose his breath. The smell was so 'cool'!

She raised her hand to swipe away the flies on her face, and said to Lihua, "Let's go buy quickly."

Both of them nodded, staying in this place for a while longer would make them panic.

So, why are you so keen on visiting the livestock market in hot weather?

There are people who shuttle back and forth in the market as intermediaries. Their eyes have been experienced a lot, and they are sharp-eyed. They can tell at a glance which ones come to the market, which ones really want to buy livestock, and which ones are just for shopping. watch.

Soon, a man with a goatee leaned forward.

"Girl, how about buying livestock? I don't know what kind of animal you want to buy? A donkey for pulling a mill? Or a mule for pulling a cart? Or an ox for plowing the fields? Or a good horse? Do I need help?"

The people's voices were noisy, and it took Song Qiu a lot of effort to hear them clearly. He realized that this person should be a professional dentist in the market, helping buyers to make deals and earn some money for tea.

Now that there are so many people, it would be troublesome for them to go and pick one by one. Such idiots usually rely on the strength of their mouths to make a living, and they will not damage their reputation, so they can be trusted.

Immediately, he raised his voice, "Buy a mule to pull a cart, drive a long distance, and have good stamina!"

After hearing this, Yaren nodded and said, "Then buy a horse mule? Miss, please go over there for tea and wait!"

The advantage of asking someone in the middle to help you with your errands is that you don’t have to go in here and there to be crowded with people. You can sit in a specially built shed at the entrance of the city, drink tea, and wait relaxedly.

When the dentist chooses the right one, just lead the way and have a look. If you like it, you can negotiate the price and make a deal, which is much more convenient.

After about a quarter of an hour, the man from Xiancai came back quickly, "Girl, I have picked a few, you can come with me to have a look."

As he spoke, he wiped off his sweat, poured a large bowl of tea, and led Song Qiu and the others into the crowd.

Mules are divided into horse mules and donkey mules. Song Qiu has bought mules a few times, so he probably has some experience.

Donkey mules have long ears and horse mules have short tails, while horse mules have long tails and donkey mules have short ears.

Keeping this in mind, you can recognize horse mules and donkey mules no matter what.

Being able to buy horse mules is naturally better than donkey mules.

The first mules she bought were donkey mules, and Panshi Town couldn't find any good horse mules.

The one I bought in Yangping Town yesterday is a horse mule, and it runs faster than a donkey mule.

Ya people don’t fool people, the ones who lead the way to see are all mules, all of them are in the middle of their teens, they are in their prime and easy to work, and if they are bought, they will not be exhausted, and the pulling force of 20 years is not a problem.

Therefore, the use time of the mule is still quite good.

Song Qiu looked at them one by one, and felt that six or seven of them were pretty good, and asked the price, it was a joy for both sides.

In the end, it was a matter of course, and it was decided immediately.

I bought a total of five heads and spent 16 taels of silver.

I gave the Yaren the tea money at the market price, took the mules out to Washi, and got them equipped with carts, two with a canopy, and three with a large cart.

It took a total of half an hour before and after coming to the market, and five cars were enough.

The problem now is, the three of them, and Lihua, who is not very good at driving, how to drive the car back to the gate of the city with five cars.

Ah Ling wanted to say that she had quick legs and ran back to bring the two of them here, but she was afraid that something would happen to Song Qiu and Lihua while she was gone.

There was no one else following, Ah Ling was worried about Song Qiu for a moment.

If you want Lihua or Song Qiu to go back and call someone, let alone it won't work.

Song Qiu found a beggar on a street corner, gave him a handful of copper coins, and asked him to help him bring the letter to the gate of the city.

It's coming and going, and we have to wait for a while.

Song Qiu and the others found a stall selling sour plum soup that was not exposed to the sun in Washi. They sat down and drank a bowl of sour plum soup while waiting for someone to come.

In the shed opposite is a stage for juggling, and outside the short fence, many people gathered around to watch the fun.

Xu Shi's performance reached a wonderful point, and the people onlookers roared with applause.

This battle made Song Qiu feel itchy and numb. They stretched their necks to look at it, but there were too many people in front of them, so they couldn't really see it.

After listening to the applause for a while, and seeing Lihua's anxious eyes, thinking about how rare it was for her to come out, Song Qiu simply took the two of them to the teahouse behind.

Go to the second floor of the teahouse and sit by the window, and you can just see the juggling table below.

On the juggling table, a seven or eight-year-old girl is holding bowls, lying on the ground with her upper body propped up, with a tall stack of bowls on her head, and looking at her feet raised, there are also stacks of bowls on her feet stand up.

There were still people behind her adding bowls to her feet and head one by one.

Every time one was added, the people onlookers clapped their hands and applauded.

The three of Song and Qiu were watching with great enthusiasm, at this moment, an old man with white eyebrows came up the stairs leisurely holding a cloth banner, and sat down at the table next to them.

Sensing that someone was watching, Ah Ling reluctantly looked away from the excitement below, turned his head, and met a face covered with black spots and one eye turned white.

Seeing her look over, the old Taoist smiled kindly, twisting all the creases on his face, "Girl, do you want to tell your fortune?"

　Still not very comfortable, only one more
