Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 212 Confucianism and Taoism Struggle

"Shopkeeper, how much is the little pony?"

The pony in front of me is only 1.2 meters tall and only 1.5 meters long. It has a small head and a smooth mane, and is well-raised.Especially the agile wildness in the eyes is particularly attractive.

While Chu Ningyan was watching Xiao Ma, the shopkeeper was also looking at her.

This girl is dressed in ordinary clothes, but she has a good temperament, but she doesn't know how much money she has in her pocket.The shopkeeper's eyes fell on the package she was carrying.After pondering for a long time, he said, "This is the breed of a bloody horse, at least 10 taels of silver."

"10 taels? So expensive?" Horses are so expensive!

"It's not expensive. Miss, you can see that you come from a rich family. You think you know that bloody horses are worth a thousand gold. Although these foals are not bloody horses, they are also descendants of them. They are extremely rare." The shopkeeper smiled.

Chu Ningyan shook her head, if she had money, she could still be taken advantage of for the sake of this little pony's agility, but the problem is, her whole body is only 50 taels of silver.

"I just want to buy one that can pull carts and hunch things. It doesn't matter whether it's a donkey, a mule or a horse, but it's cheaper. It's better to go with a cart and a saddle." Chu Ningyan thought about how to speak to show her momentum some.

"Well, miss, you also know that Luzhou City has just experienced war, and all kinds of prices are rising, no matter how cheap it is, it won't be much cheaper." The shopkeeper felt a little regretful when he saw that Xiao Maju hadn't been sold successfully.

"Don't worry about the shopkeeper, you can quote a price first, and I will naturally decide whether to buy it or not." Chu Ningyan relaxed a lot when she thought that there was a record of shopping around in the travel notes.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard it, he understood that the girl in front of him wanted to shop around.This is not possible, the prices of the local chariot and horse dealers in Luzhou City have long been unified, but haven't many merchants from Xia Kingdom come here recently?

Those Xia merchants who want to enter their Luzhou market will definitely fight a price war with them.

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "Girl, to tell you the truth, donkey carts are cheaper than mule carts and horse carts, but if you want to buy them, they won't be much cheaper."

"How many?"

"At least 18 taels." The shopkeeper didn't dare to ask for a high price.

Chu Ningyan frowned, she didn't know the price, 18 taels, in the past, she could get it without blinking, but now...

"Thank you shopkeeper, I'll take a look first."

"Girl, no matter how much you look at it, the price is still the same. The war just ended, and the price will not drop so quickly. If you really want to buy it, girl, I will give you a tael cheaper at most. It can't be less." The shopkeeper's patience With a drop of blood, a decision is made.

In the end, after shopping around, Chu Ningyan returned to the shopkeeper and bought it for 17 taels of silver including a donkey and a cart.

After seeing the frame, Chu Ningyan understood why it was 1 tael lower than the other ones. Looking at the weather-beaten appearance, is it really worth 17 taels?

"Boss, did you make a mistake with the frame?" The donkey is a good donkey, but the frame is too old, right?
"Girl, don't look at the frame that looks old, but it's very strong, and it won't be a problem even if it's used for another four or five years. Just replace the curtains with new ones." The shopkeeper smiled.

"Girl, take a look around and come to know that the prices in Luzhou City are not cheap now."

Chu Ningyan twitched the corners of her mouth, smiled stiffly, and wanted to go to the store next door to buy 18 taels.Forget it, it can be used anyway, and one tael less is one tael.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Thanks to the shopkeeper." After she finished speaking, she walked up to the donkey and stretched out her hand to smooth the donkey's fur.

The donkey was very vigilant, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, the donkey snorted violently at her, and nimbly avoided her hand.

"Sister, be careful!" Yun Shu immediately stretched out her hand to pull Chu Ningyan, and Chu Ningyan staggered for two steps while maintaining the gesture of raising her hand.

Chu Ningyan froze, and looked at Yun Shu comfortingly, "It's okay."

"Girl, you haven't driven a donkey before, why don't you let my guy plan to send it back for you, just give him some transportation expenses." The shopkeeper suggested.

"No, I can do it." Chu Ningyan shook her head, she didn't try to be brave, she intuitively felt that she could handle these little donkeys with ease, just like those powerful protagonists in the story books.

She tried her best to radiate kindness, and approached again, maybe her thoughts were too strong, this time the donkey not only did not avoid her, but also rubbed against her palm.

"Hehe~" Chu Ningyan laughed because of being scratched a little.

"Ah?" The shopkeeper's eyes widened in surprise. Isn't this the stubborn donkey that is harder to train than a fierce horse?
"Yun Shu, get in the car, let's go." Chu Ningyan cultivated a relationship with the donkey, and let Yun Shu get in the car.I also did it myself, imitating Congjia's coachman who gently tugged at the reins, turned around and drove away with the donkey cart.I didn't even look at the stunned shopkeeper.

The original owner of the donkey, who was watching silently, finally came to his senses and stepped forward, "Shopkeeper, since all the donkeys have been sold, look at my money..."

"No," the shopkeeper tossed him a tael of silver and said, "Take that donkey back in the backyard."

"Oh, no, shopkeeper, the female donkey in the backyard is sick. If you give me a sick donkey, aren't you buying and selling it by force!" .

"Heh, don't talk nonsense, I am the shopkeeper of the car and horse dealer, I never buy or sell by force, it is obviously you who agreed!" The shopkeeper stroked his beard disdainfully.

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't agree at all!"

"Quan Shun, read the deed to him."

"Okay." Quan Shun is a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round and chubby face, which is very pleasing. "My guest, here is your deed, here is your name, and there are fingerprints, right?"

The donkey owner watched carefully, recalling the shape of his name.After watching for a long time, he nodded, "Yes, that's right."

"Well, I'll read it to you now. Today Wang Daquan has a male donkey, and he is willing to sell it to Tongshun Chariot and Horse Shop for one tael of silver and a female donkey!"

"This—isn't it like this?" Wang Daquan was in a hurry.What's the use of a sick donkey? "you you--"

"Uncle Wang, this deed is blessed by a saint, and no one is allowed to disobey it, otherwise you will be punished." Quanshun couldn't bear to see Wang Daquan's torture, and secretly glanced around to make sure that no one was there. , and whispered to him,
"Uncle Wang, I have been taking care of that female donkey. She suddenly fell ill the second day after the siege broke out. It happened that the veterinarian came back after being hit by the artillery fire."

"This delays the treatment of the female donkey. You have raised the donkey for many years, and you will take the female donkey back and treat it for a few days. Maybe you will have another little donkey." Quanshun opened his eyes and said meaningfully.

"Ah?" Wang Daquan was a little confused, and then he was overjoyed, "You mean the donkey may have cubs?"

"Ah? I didn't say that." Quanshun shook his head quickly, and asked again, "Uncle Wang, why don't I bring you the donkey? Anyway, you signed the contract, and you can't go back on your word."

"Okay, trouble brother."

Sending Wang Daquan off, Quanshun hummed and went back to the shop.

"It's done?"

"Yes."

"What did you tell him?"

"Oh, the younger one also said that maybe the mother donkey carried the cub."

"Are you sure the donkey is pregnant?" The shopkeeper squinted at him.

"How is that possible? The young one is not a veterinarian, so how could he know this?"

The shopkeeper smiled, "Go!"

"Yes."
