Chapter 5 Buying Horses

"I live in the country, so is it important to buy horses?" Fang Qing was puzzled when he saw the horse dealer asking.

"Miss, I'm sorry to say it bluntly, miss buying this horse that can't work is better than buying a cow that can plow."

After Fang Qing listened to the horse dealer's words, she felt that she was like an idiot since she came to this world, and many things overturned her cognition.

"Boss, why do you say buying cattle...?"

The horse dealer "..." I'm afraid this person is a fool. She lives in the country, and doesn't she know such a simple matter as buying a cow and plowing a field?
Taking a deep breath to comfort herself, this lady is still young and doesn't understand the importance of cows, so she patiently explained to Fang Qing.

"If you buy a cow, it can be used for farming in spring and summer, and it can be used to pull grain during the autumn harvest. And when the cow is free, the family can drive the ox cart to earn some pocket money for the children."

"Cough... Thank you, the boss, for your kindness. I have no family or children, and the field is going to be hired out. I don't need this cow yet."

After Fang Qing heard the horse dealer's explanation, she was a little embarrassed for a moment. She really didn't know that this cow had so many uses.

"Boss, please introduce this carriage to me first!" Fang Qing wanted to end this topic, she didn't want to be embarrassed, and she didn't want more people to know that she was stupid.

The horse dealer saw Fang Qing like this, she didn't say much and secretly cursed in her heart who was the prodigal daughter. "How about I give you five taels of silver for that horse and this medium-sized carriage?"

"Boss, please set up the carriage for me."

After Fang Qing bought the carriage, he ate the meat buns leisurely, and drove the carriage down the street.

When they arrived at the furniture store, Fang Qing jumped out of the carriage, found an empty place to park the carriage, and walked into the shop.

Seeing Fang Qing walk in, the owner of the furniture store asked Fang Qing, "Miss, do you want to buy or order."

"Buy! I want a dining table and chairs, two beds, two wardrobes, and a cupboard."

Seeing that there were so many people buying, the owner of the furniture shop smiled and introduced to Fang Qing: "Miss, we usually eat at the Eight Immortals table. Look at the one in front of you. It is the Eight Immortals table."

Fang Qing looked at the table the boss introduced to her, and asked with satisfaction, "Boss, how much is the Eight Immortals table?"

"This table plus eight chairs cost ten taels of silver, and the lady wants to see the bed, wardrobe and cupboard? After the lady chooses, I will give you a discount."

"You show me."

"Look at this type of wardrobe. It can be folded and put in the grid like the clothes we usually wear, or you can hang the clothes on hooks. And miss, what do you think of these two beds?"

Fang Qing looked at the two beds and asked the boss how much money he was satisfied with. This wardrobe is a set, if Miss buys it. "

"Bed and wardrobe, how about 15 taels for a set?"

"Fang Qing shook his head, a bit expensive?"

"Or, I'll do the math for you after you finish reading."

"Miss, you are satisfied with this cupboard. You can put a rice vat on the left side of this cupboard. Putting the rice vat in the cabinet can keep the rice vat clean."

Fang Qing, a layman, felt a headache, and asked the price after the owner of the furniture shop introduced: "Boss, tell me how the price is calculated."

"The table for the Eight Immortals costs ten taels of silver. The two beds and two wardrobes cost fifteen taels of silver. How about giving the lady 14 taels of silver if you want more?"

"can!"

Seeing that Fang Qing said yes, the owner of the furniture shop continued with a smile on his face, "Miss, I will charge you three taels of silver for this cupboard, ten taels for an Eight Immortals table, 28 taels for two sets of beds and wardrobes, and three taels for a cupboard. The total is 41 taels." money."

"Fang Qing saw so many things that she couldn't take them home by herself, so she had a headache and raised conditions with the boss.

"Boss, I can't take all these things back by myself, and I have to ask the boss to send me a ride."

"You don't have to worry about delivery. You buy things in our shop. Our shop delivers the goods to your door. I don't know where you live, miss."

"My surname is Fang and my name is Qing. I live in Zhangjia Village. You will deliver it later, and I will go shopping later. If I don't arrive after you deliver it, please wait for me at the entrance of the village."

"Okay, no problem, I'll let the second young lady send it to Miss Fang later."

Fang Qing gave 50 taels of silver to the boss, and the boss asked her for nine taels of silver. Fang Qing walked out of the furniture shop and drove the carriage to buy other things.

"Oh!" There are so many things to buy in this terrible shopping, and I don't know when I will buy them.

"Boss, how do you buy this quilt?" Fang Qing decided not to bargain, lest the more he talked, the more mistakes he would make.

"Miss, this quilt costs three taels of silver per bed, and the bed under the bed costs one tael of silver per bed." The shop owner saw a guest coming, so he came out and introduced the quilt to Fang Qing.

Fang Qing counted the rooms at home, and now she has a lot of shopping, so she decided to buy two sets of quilts, one for herself and one for spare.

"Boss, you give me two quilts and four beds."

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you now."

Fang Qing counted six taels of quilts for the two beds and four taels for the four beds, exactly ten taels of silver. "Boss, please collect the money.

Qingqing really didn't want to continue shopping, so she came out of the quilt shop and drove the carriage to buy rice and pots and pans.

"Boss, how did you buy your pots and pans?"

"Miss, what size cooking pot do you want?"

"Cough! I don't know how big a pot I want, it's about this big." Fang Qing said to the boss, gesturing and hugging the circle.

The owner of the grocery store frowned, thinking that this was the daughter of a family who didn't know the rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Her family came to buy pots, but she didn't know the pots she used.

"Come here to see if it's this one."

Fang Qing and the boss went over to look at the pot, this one seems to be about the same.

"This pot is universal, you can buy it first and see if it fits, and if it doesn't fit, you can exchange it." The boss shook his head and said to Fang Qing.

"I'll buy this first and go back. Boss, how did you buy this pot?"

"This pot costs five hundred Wen, the bowl next to you costs one Wen, and the one with flowers costs three Wen, and the plate with flowers costs five Wen, and the bowl without flowers costs two. One penny without spending one penny."

Fang Qing wanted to buy so many things, and they all cost a few taels. Now the pots and pans finally cost a few pennies.

"I want [-] large bowls with flowers, [-] small bowls with flowers, and [-] plates with flowers." Fang Qing thought in his heart that the ones with flowers must be brought, and he would look at the ones with flowers when eating. With this flower, I feel much better.

"Boss, I also need a rice jar, two large jars, a rice steamer (zeng), and a casserole. Do you have any here?"

"Yes, the rice vat costs [-] Wen each, the other two vats also cost [-] Wen each, the steamer costs [-] Wen each, and the casserole costs [-] Wen each."

"I'll just buy these." Fang Qing breathed out, it was really hard to buy these odds and ends, and the key was that she didn't know what the exchange rate of the money was.

"Yes, the rice vat costs [-] Wen each, the other two vats also cost [-] Wen each, the steamer costs [-] Wen each, and the casserole costs [-] Wen each."
