After traveling to ancient times, I picked up a sick husband

Chapter 42 Buying a Horse
Early in the morning, Gu Yunjie and Chu San got into Liu Shitou's ox cart and headed to the county.

She went to the county today for two things.

One is to ask the prices of ox carts and horse-drawn carts, and buy a scooter back.

The second is to see if there is a suitable business.

The medical clinic will definitely not be able to open for a while, but she can look at other businesses.

If there is a suitable livelihood, I will definitely go to the county more often in the future, and I will definitely not be able to do without my own scooter.

On the way, she asked Liu Shitou about the price and difference between ox carts and horse carts.

Liu Shitou suggested buying an ox cart.

Not to mention the cost of raising a horse, but also to take good care of it, which is precious.Cattle are different. When farming is busy, they can help the family plow the land, and it is easy to raise.

The price of horses is about twice as expensive as that of cattle.

In terms of comfort, it is natural that the carriage is more comfortable and faster.

Gu Yunjie couldn't make up his mind for a while, so after letting Liu Shitou enter the city, he took him to a place with cows and horses to see before making a decision.

Liu Shitou is a simple and honest man, and he took Gu Yunjie to the bull market to choose.

There are few people in the county who can afford a carriage, so naturally there are fewer people selling horses and more people selling cattle.

At an intersection not far away, an old man stood there leading a newly grown horse. The horse was listless, and when it saw a guest coming to it, it also drooped its head and showed no interest.

Gu Yunjie knew at just one glance that the horse was sick, it was a sick horse.

"Uncle, how much is this horse?"

The old man looked at the strong girl in front of him and hesitated for a while: "Girl, my horse is sick. If you can't cure it, you should not buy it back, or it would be a waste of money to buy it back."

When Gu Yunjie heard the old man's words, she knew that he was a sincere person.There are a few people who dare to tell the truth in front of customers. Once such words come out, it is estimated that people who want to buy will be scared away.

"Is there no way to cure it?"

"I tried many methods, but it still didn't work. I brought it here just to see if I can meet someone who can cure it. If the other party has a way to cure it, I can take it away with a few taels of silver. .It grew up in front of me, and I don't want it to die of illness." The old man's throat was choked.

"It can be seen that uncle is a horse lover." Gu Yunjie looked at the old man's appearance, and knew that the other party's current appearance was not pretending.

"I brought it up with my own hands. If there is no other way, I don't want to use this method to help it find its owner. It has at most two days. If it doesn't meet a suitable person within two days, The only result is illness and death." This is why he was anxious to help it find its owner.

"I want this horse, and I have a way to cure it."

"Girl, although it is a horse, I don't want to end up sick and dead. This is not just a casual talk, you must really be able to cure it." The old man narrowed his eyes, somewhat suspicious of Gu Yunjie's words .

"How can uncle believe it?" Gu Yunjie's eyes lifted.

The old man thought for a while: "If the girl really cures it, I can provide it with food for a year."

Gu Yunjie looked at the old man, making sure that she heard correctly.

The old man has weather-beaten eyes, and his hands and face are dark and wrinkled.

Such an old man, could it be that he is a hidden boss, the kind who hides his secrets.

With a toothy smile: "That's a deal."

When Liu Shitou saw that Gu Yunjie wanted to buy a sick horse, he worriedly said to Chu San: "I think this horse won't live for more than two days. Although a few taels of silver is not much, I can still buy a calf and go back. There is no need to spend this injustice." money."

The other party only dared to ask for a few taels of silver, which meant that the horse must be seriously ill and could not eat horse meat. Otherwise, the other party would kill the horse and sell the meat for more than this price, how could it be sold for a few taels of silver.

Chu San looked at the horse, smiled and said to Liu Shitou, "I believe that Xiaojie's eyesight can't be wrong."

Liu Shitou looked at Chu San, and then at Gu Yunjie.

Nothing more.

The young couple agree, what else can he say.

Xiaojie paid five taels of silver and brought the horse over, tied it not far from the ox cart, and let Liu Shitou watch over it. She and Chu San had to go shopping in the city.

"You want to buy a carriage, are you planning to make a living in the county?" Chu San asked softly when the two were walking on the street.

"I have this idea. Do you have any ideas about making a living?" Gu Yunjie said bluntly.

Wu County is actually not rich, it can be said to be a very poor county.One can imagine the economy of such a county.

"As we are now, it is definitely not realistic to operate directly. We can see if there is a suitable shop."

"It's the same as I think." Gu Yunjie really thought so: "However, there are only a few industries that make money, and restaurants are one of them."

When I looked up, I happened to see a restaurant not far away.

It was meal time at this time, but not many people went in to eat.

When Gu Yunjie and Chu San entered, there were only a few people in the shop.Seeing a guest come in, Xiao Er smiled like a flower on his face.

Randomly ordered a few dishes.

After the food was served, Gu Yunjie discovered the reason for the lack of customers here.

The taste of the dish is really not that good.

She summoned Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, is it your boss who is cooking, this taste is really hard to describe."

People who run restaurants have their own characteristics in terms of taste.

The few dishes in front of me are either too salty or too bland. With their special features, they will definitely not be able to keep customers.

Xiaoer smiled embarrassedly: "Guest officer, how do you know? This is also annoying. Fortune Restaurant has poached our chef and sous chef, and the owner will not be able to find a suitable person to cook for a while. Come and cook by yourself."

"You have opened the restaurant for so long, you can't even have a temporary cook." Gu Yunjie thinks this is outrageous, even if the chef and the assistant chef are gone, can't you hire other chefs?

"Our boss has offended the Chen family. The Chen family has someone tell them that anyone who dares to come to our restaurant to be a chef is an enemy of the Chen family. Those chefs are afraid of the prestige of the Chen family and dare not come, so the boss can only play by himself."

Gu Yunjie: "...."

I can only sigh in my heart, the Chen family is so majestic.

"Your owner's craftsmanship is really..." Gu Yunjie sighed: "If this goes on, your restaurant might collapse."

"That's not true." There are no guests at this meeting, and Xiaoer is also idle, so he just rested for a while and sighed: "The owner said, if it doesn't work, we will sell the restaurant. Isn't the Chen family just trying to force the owner to sell the restaurant? Yet?"

"It's convenient to ask, is there any enmity between your boss and the Chen family?"

"Our boss has a daughter who has just turned sixteen. The young master of the Chen family fell in love with her and said she wanted to marry him back as his aunt. How could our boss agree? In order to force our boss to agree, the young master of the Chen family began to suppress our restaurant." Xiao Er The voice was very helpless, and the voice was lowered: "Behind the Chen family is the county magistrate, that's why the Chen family dares to be so arrogant."
