Portable Space: Traveling through Nongmen

Chapter 164
Shen Yingshu saw that this little brother was not very old, he was probably only one or two years older than Shen Qingzhou. The sixteen or seventeen year old kid seemed to have been working in this cowshed for a while.

As long as it is in modern times, it is estimated that he is in high school and still a child.

Shen Yingshu looked at the little brother in front of him, and wrote with loving eyes, "I don't know yet, what is the little brother's name?"

She asked this little brother to look at the white horse for so long, but she still hasn't asked him what his last name is or what his name is.

"Madam Shen, you're welcome. My surname is Zhang and my name is Jianshan. Madam can just call me Brother Zhang." The little brother was also very pleased, and introduced himself directly.

"Zhang Jianshan, good name. My surname is Shen and my name is Yingshu. Seeing that my brother is not very old, why don't you call me sister instead, don't keep calling me Ma'am, I'm awkward."

Shen Yingshu didn't care too much if a stranger occasionally called her Madam.

But often hearing that makes her feel uncomfortable, even though she now has a cheap son like Bao'er.

But she was a big girl in modern times, and her mentality could not be changed so quickly.Moreover, Shen Yingshu always felt that she hadn't reached that point yet. She was not the wife of a wealthy family, but an ordinary peasant woman. She always felt awkward being called Mrs. Shen all day long.

"Okay, since Ma'am said so, then I won't be polite, Sister Shen."

As a little brother who has been working in the grass shed these days, he is naturally clever, his brain can turn around, and he reacts instantly.

Shen Yingshu nodded silently. Although the title of Sister Shen is not very pleasant, it is much better than Mrs., Niangzi and so on.

"Then please brother Zhang take me to see the mule you mentioned."

"Okay, I'll take you to have a look. Sister Shen, let me tell you that this batch of mules is definitely the best among mules. Of course, the age is needless to say. If you speak up, sister, then I must not choose an old one to fool you. Not only is this mule an upright man, but it was also raised very well by its previous owner, who said that if it wasn’t for raising money, he wouldn’t be willing to sell it.”

While introducing, Zhang Jianshan led Shen Yingshu towards the place where the mule was.

Because he brought this mule, he needs to pay more attention to it when taking care of it. Like this kind of stove, the horses are all about the same size. .

"Sister Shen, this is the end, what do you think? Is it to your liking."

Mules are shaped like donkeys, but bigger and stronger than horses. They are cheaper than cows and horses. They are the first choice for rural people to buy livestock.

This craftsman mule is really good, with brown-red hair and a white hair between the eyes, it looks a bit special, and it has a strong physique. At first glance, I thought it was a horse.

"This mule is really good."

The mule was tied up, and Shen Yingshu, under the protection of Shen Jianshan, went into the cowshed, and reached out to touch the mule's hair and flesh.

The hair is smooth, and the flesh is strong and firm, obviously well-raised.

"I, Zhang Jianshan, never lie. Sister Shen, don't worry, I can assure you that this mule is definitely the only one in this town that is so strong. It's really rare."

Zhang Jianshan patted his chest triumphantly.

To be able to find this batch of stoves, he really installed new ones. He visited many nearby houses, found some information, and then carefully selected them.

Although he, Zhang Jianshan, is a money-grubbing person and has no academic knowledge, but he promised Shen Yingshu yesterday that he would help find Luo Zi, so it must not be perfunctory.

Besides, the better the mule, the more expensive the price, and the more he can earn from it. The elder sister Shen in front of him doesn't look like a stingy person, anyway, he won't lose anything.

"This mule looks good, especially the white hair in the middle of the eyebrows, which looks more majestic. It doesn't look like a mule, but a horse."

Shen Yingshu exclaimed, this mule really has eyes for her, so naturally she won't be stingy in praising it.

"Do you like it, Bao'er?"

Shen Yingshu squatted down and asked Bao'er next to her.

At this time, Bao'er was staring at the mule in front of him, with sparkles in his eyes, "I like it, it's tall and strong."

If the black horse Yufeng in Shen Yingshu's previous life was like a majestic general, the white horse at home was like a noble and elegant prince, and this tall and strong knight was like a knight full of security.

"You like it, I like it too, then settle down!"

Shen Yingshu readily made a decision.

"okay."

Zhang Jianshan was very happy to see that Shen Yingshu was so forthright. He had been working here for several years, and it wasn't the first time he helped people find horses, cattle and sheep to sell, but it was the first time that Shen Yingshu settled down so straightforwardly. encounter.

Shen Yingshu was straightforward, and Zhang Jianshan was also straightforward. He was not too expensive in terms of price, so he gave Shen Yingshu a price that Shen Yingshu could easily accept, ten taels of silver.

Ordinary mules are about seven or eight taels, and when they get older, they are cheaper by five or six taels of silver.

But the mule in front of me is excellent in terms of appearance, price, and age. I don’t know how long it takes to choose a mule of this appearance.

So ten taels of silver is not too expensive, I like it because it is hard to buy a thousand dollars.

Shen Yingshu didn't counter the price, and only asked Zhang Jianshan for some things, such as cushions, wooden boards and the like, as extras.

These things are not expensive, and what Shen Yingshu asked for were only bits and pieces, and Zhang Jianshan readily gave them.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, but Shen Yingshu had some difficulties in how to bring the mule back. She came here with a horse today, and she couldn't split it in half by herself.

It seemed that Shen Yingshu was worried, and Zhang Jianshan said in a considerate manner, "Sister Shen, if you think about how to bring these mules back, if you don't mind the trouble, my buddy and I will change shifts to help you get the mules back later." Hurry back."

"You help me drive the mule back, how will you go back later?"

Shen Yingshu asked curiously.

"Easiest, I have a carriage specially responsible for pulling goods. When the time comes, I will drive the mule up and tie the rope. Then I will send it to Sister Shen and send it to your home."

Zhang Jianshan smiled and showed his eight front teeth.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Seeing what Zhang Jianshan said, Shen Yingshu didn't refuse.

After all, how she can bring this mule back now is really a matter.

Now that the money has been paid, and there are Zhang Jianshan and Bao'er next to her, she can't move the mule into the space, so she can just let Zhang Jianshan deliver it to her home.

Shen Yingshu was not stingy, and gave a dozen more copper coins as travel expenses, and then told Zhang Jianshan where she lived.
