Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 85 No.80 Chapter Four: Buying a Mule

Changing to a new job, this starting point is also related to her future plans, so Song Qiu is quite concerned about this.

Buying a car was the first step, so she didn't delay at all. The next day, she followed Wu Jin to the town again in a bullock cart.

Wu Wujin knew that he planned to buy a mule to pull the cart, and wanted to ask him to teach her how to drive it, so he readily agreed.

Today I specially brought Zhou Shitou together.

Zhou Shitou has been able to drive a cart for a long time, and Wu Jin is planning to take him out of the car to pull goods from the second half of the year. After teaching him, he will buy another bullock cart for the family.

In this way, father and son work together to pull goods, and they can earn more every day, which is good for the family.

When he arrived in town, Wu Wujin didn't rush to the pier, but took the two of them to the livestock market first.

The market that specializes in buying and selling such large animals, such as cattle, horses, mules and sheep, is also in Ankangfang, but it is at the head of the morning market, on a relatively remote river beach.

There are many people buying and selling here every day, and the smell of all kinds of excrement blends together, which is indeed a bit unpleasant, so it is specially located in a field farther away from the town.

"This is picking mules. In fact, Shitou's grandfather is the best at it, but he also taught me. It's not bad, and I have some skills." Wu Wujin said, leading the two of them striding across the market. go back.

One can see at a glance that there are several mule sellers at the end.

When he arrived at the place, Wu Wujin looked at the mules one by one.

Seeing that there was a business coming, a few mule dealers were enthusiastic and eager to sell themselves, and they were drooling.

Song Qiu followed behind and was almost not persuaded to leave.

She tried her best to hide left and right to avoid being baptized by saliva.

Wu Wujin was also unmoved, he didn't listen to whoever said the hype, he just looked around.

Looking at it, looking at it, he quickly picked one.

It was sold at the end by an old man who was a bit older. He didn't shout, but just stood there leisurely.

Seeing Wu Jin walk over, he laughed, "Little brother has eyes."

Wu Wujin didn't laugh, but said first: "I don't think you're yelling, old man. Let me ask you first, what is the price of your mule?"

The old man's eyes were piercing, "These days, the price is the same price, there is no need to raise it, my mule is three and a half, and the price is the same."

I heard the quotation on Friday, which is similar to the market price. His family's strong bull was bought for more than four taels of silver at the time.

Then he turned his head and pointed at the mule and said to Song Qiu, "Look, Ah Qiu, this mule is very successful! It has a long neck, narrow hooves, and strong limbs. Judging by its teeth, it is just of a good age. It is the best for pulling a cart." Already!"

Song Qiu didn't know how to pick a mule, so he only heard what Wu Jin said, so this mule would do, and the money in threes and halfs was acceptable.

All the belongings of their family, including the three and a half taels of her here and the ones in her grandmother's hands, she brought all of them today. It's also a coincidence that they are just enough for three and a half taels of silver, and there are dozens of taels left.

Wu Jin didn't say anything when he saw Song Qiuli, thinking she was dissatisfied with the mule, or was there not enough money?

Immediately said in a low voice: "Is it not enough money? I also brought hundreds of big money here today, do you think it's much worse?"

"That's enough, that's enough, it's just Uncle Wujin, the price can't be any less?" If you can spend less, you can have more left in your hands, right?
"This price is almost the same, it's probably difficult." Wu Wujin replied in a low voice, but turned around to start negotiating with the old man.

Of course, once or twice, the old man said that he couldn't miss anything, he didn't have a lot of money, whether he wanted to buy it or not.

So, Song Qiu finally bought the mule with two and a half dollars.

After the mule was bought, Zhou Shitou excitedly helped to lead it, and the three of them went out of the market, where there was a cart seller at the entrance of the market.

Mules are not used for riding, of course it is more convenient to install a cart.

Song Qiu didn't use it to pull goods and carry people either. The cart didn't have to be as big as Zhou's, it was just fine.

In the end, it took 58 essays to pick it out.

Now that's all right, there are only a dozen children left in all the belongings.

Everything was ready, and on Friday, Zhou Shitou was urged to drive the car well. He watched Zhou Shitou and Song Qiu go away in the mule cart and disappeared. .

It was the first time for Zhou Shitou to drive alone without his father sitting next to him, which was exciting.

Seeing that Song Qiu was gripping the edge of the scooter tightly, he couldn't help saying: "Aqiu, don't be afraid! I have learned the driving skills from my father for almost a year, and it will be fine! Just rest assured. Sit boldly."

The corners of Song Qiu's mouth twitched and he nodded, but his hand holding the edge of the cart did not relax.

Zhou Shitou was like a runaway wild horse, running like a jerk on the official road. This mule really has excellent endurance, and it runs more vigorously than a bullock cart.

The more Song Qiu looked at it, the more he liked it. Seeing that the mule was not very handsome, and he was covered in jet black, he spontaneously named it Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei is honest and doesn't flirt. Although he runs fast, he is steady and steady.

It wasn't until there were more cars and horses coming and going in front that Zhou Shitou finally knew how to measure, so he slowed down and only drove to the right hand side, not in the middle.

Slow down so you have time to say something.

Zhou Shitou thought for a long time, and finally said: "Aqiu, my mother doesn't force me to marry the girl from the Liu family anymore, so I secretly mentioned Lihua to my father, and my father also thinks that Lihua is good! But he Said that my mother might not agree, he promised me that he would talk to my mother, but I don't know when he will tell my mother."

"Aqiu, do you think I can ask Lihua what she thinks in private?"

Song Qiu glanced at him, "Do you really want to marry Lihua?"

"Of course! I have thought since I was a child, and I have dreamed about it in my dreams. I only want to marry Pear Blossom in my life. If I can't marry Pear Blossom, I would rather not marry a wife in this life!" Zhou Shitou nodded his head, as if he was afraid that Song Qiu would not believe it. Yes, he even thumped his chest, swearing.

The young man's eyes are warm, sincere and pure, the most beautiful thing in the world.

Time might change something.

But who can tell?
Perhaps the enthusiasm of youth is for a lifetime?

So, don't let down the pure sincerity of young people.

That's something that's hard to come by later on.

Song Qiu pursed his lips, "I can help you find out what's going on first, you can wait for my news to talk about it!"

Zhou Shitou scratched his head, but he was also afraid of rushing to Lihua, what if Lihua didn't like him like he liked her?

In that case, he dared not even think about it.

"That's fine, then Ah Qiu, I'll trouble you, I'll treat you to caramel!" Zhou Shitou nodded.

The mule cart swayed forward non-stop, Song Qiu looked at the continuous stream of horses and pedestrians passing by, seeing the hustle and bustle of this official road, and felt even more excited.

Her grand plans and ambitions are about to start on this official road!

About to turn down the small road in the village, Song Qiu saw someone resting by the long river again.

The passerby saw that they were going up the path, and someone stopped them, "Little brother, are you from the village here?"

　wait for another one
