Ask for favorites and recommendations ==================
Coming out of Ziyuxuan, Yi Xue took the three of them to eat steamed buns and soybean juice, and then went shopping for food and clothes.

"Buy ten catties of coarse grains, ten catties of soybean oil, two catties of pork..." Yi Xue calculated one by one, but there were too many things at home, and she had already made the calculations when she came.

With such a large sum of money, it is definitely a windfall for Yi Xue to improve her family's situation.She is now buying some household items as much as possible to go back.

After turning around in a big circle, everyone was holding their things, and Yi Xue realized how fortunate this was.Think of a way to use a means of transportation.

"Let's buy an ox cart and go back," Yi Xue murmured.

Bullock carts are also a very luxurious means of transportation in the countryside. The cattle themselves are the belongings of the cultivated land. The government controls them very strictly and does not allow arbitrary slaughter.However, trading is not prohibited.

The price of a cow is about 20 taels of silver, and the frame is estimated to be about 25 taels.Of course, Yi Xue didn't know the price yet.

Hearing Yi Xue talking about the ox cart, the eyes of the three of Xiaojun lit up.

"Big sister, I want an ox cart." Sanya hugged the snacks she bought just now, her face flushed with exhaustion.

"Okay, let's buy a bullock cart, does Xiaojun know where to buy it?" Yi Xue looked at Xiaojun.

Xiaojun pointed to the west end of the town and said, "Sister, there is a cattle and horse market in the west end, which is dedicated to this business."

"Let's go buy a car," Yi Xue said proudly.

The four of them happily walked towards the cattle and horse market.

Seeing a lot of people shouting and selling cattle and horses, Yi Xue put the things aside, let his younger siblings watch, and walked over by himself.

A thin and small man saw Yi Xue and the others, rolled his eyes, and immediately came up to them.Yi Xue knew immediately that this person was not easy to deal with.

The man smiled, and said courteously, "Would you like to buy a horse or a cow? I have a lot of livestock here, which will definitely make the girl happy and satisfied. Just take a look at me."

Yi Xue ignored her. Once this kind of person paid attention, she would be bound like a dog's skin plaster.The man followed closely behind Yi Xue, talking from time to time, saying that this horse is good and that cow is good.She avoids the men and wanders around the market.Neither speak.

At this moment, Yi Xue saw at a corner, an old man and a seven or eight-year-old boy squatting on the ground with heavy faces, with a bullock cart beside them.

Seeing that Yi Xue's attention was on the old man, the man immediately stopped him, "Girl, that old man is not easy to deal with, they sell people and carts together."

sell together?Yi Xue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately smiled, that would be easy, and walked up.

Seeing Yi Xue still walking towards the old man, the man felt displeased, but he had no choice but to walk away.

The old man saw a young girl approaching. She was dressed simply and did not stand up.It seemed that it was impossible for Yi Xue to buy a carriage.But the child stood up nervously, somewhat restrained.

"Master, is this bullock cart for sale?" Yi Xue asked.

Seeing Yi Xue's question, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said, "Girl, our grandparents and grandchildren are sold together with the bullock cart. I wonder if the girl can buy it?"

Yi Xue was a little curious, so she asked, "Master, why are you selling it together?"

The old man beat his eyelids, his face was full of sorrow, "Girl, my grandpa and grandson got angry at home last night, and this bullock cart is left, penniless, so I can only sell myself."

The old man spoke carefully, and Yi Xue understood a little bit, this grandson lived in the town, but he fled from another place a year ago, and he followed the ox cart when he came.I rented a house here, and earned some money to subsidize my family by pulling goods with ox carts.Unexpectedly, a fire broke out at home and all the belongings were lost. The boss accused the old man of losing his house, and he had to pay ten taels of silver, otherwise he would confiscate the cart or sue the government.
