Chapter 51 The Carriage
Li Xin and his party strolled all the way, and they arrived at the livestock market not long after.Animals are often divided piece by piece. There are horse sellers, cattle sellers, and all kinds of things, but almost all animals can be seen.Buyers and sellers also follow the divided areas and will not go out, but they look orderly.

There are a little more other livestock, but there are very few horses, only a few.Shopkeeper Sun said that most of the horse farms are in the north, while in the south, although the emperor also asked everyone to raise horses, there are not many of them, and occasionally a family raises one or two horses, and there are no real horse farms.Generally, there are not many uses, that is, rich people can use it to set up a carriage, or they can use camel goods in the hands of merchants.It is used to pull carts. In fact, horses are not used much. Many people use cattle, donkeys and the like.

There are many waterways in the south. If you want to transport goods, most of them still use waterways, so there are very few horse teams, unless it is a caravan going north.

Therefore, not to mention the horses sold in the south, they are really not good horses, that is, pulling carts is okay.

After entering the market, several people went directly to see the horses. Although shopkeeper Sun is not a horse hunter, he has seen many horses, and he will always go to the capital. He is a well-informed person, but he helped Li Xin choose. A nice horse, bought for 50 taels of silver.After buying the horse, I went to buy a carriage.

Not far from the livestock market, there are carriages that are convenient to use. When you walk in, you can see all kinds of carriages on display, with different styles, different woods, and different sizes. It seems that the craftsmanship of the master carpenter in this shop Still very good, looks very delicate.In this kind of shop, few people come to buy directly, and they all come to order. What style, shape, size, and wood are chosen by themselves, and the store will help to make it look satisfactory.However, on weekdays, they would still display some beautiful ones, and Li Xin watched them all the way.

There is still some distance between Sanshi Town and Nanbai County, and Li Xin was also waiting to use a carriage, so he didn't order it, so he chose a display, negotiated with the shopkeeper, and bought it.The store is very careful, even the curtains are prepared, and the carriage is connected to the horse, so that the carriage can be used.

However, the horse was newly bought, so Li Xin didn't dare to take the two younger sisters up to sit on it, but let the servant who came with him try to catch it first, and it wouldn't be too late to sit on it when it was safe.The servant who followed was Zhu Yong, only in his 20s.Li Xin heard from Wang Fu and his wife that Zhu Yong's driving skills are very good.

It's rare to come to the county, so the group wandered around.Li Xin saw that Yue Ting was envious of the beautiful clothes worn by others, so she also went to the silk and satin shop.I don't know if there is no cotton in this world, and there is no cotton cloth. There are only two types of cloth, one is woven with silk, and the other is woven with hemp thread.When they had no money, Li Xin's family naturally wore sackcloth, and the sackcloth was not very well woven. At most, it could only wrap the body and not keep warm.Later, although he gradually got some money, Li Xin didn't want to be too ostentatious, and only bought good linen.Moreover, good fabrics are not easy to wear in the countryside, so you can't go to the fields in silk and satin!

And in Sanshi Town, it's true that you can't buy any good fabrics.There is only one shop selling fabrics in the town, and most of them are linen, but they are divided into grades.They also sell some fabrics woven from silk, but they are all inferior and the colors are not bright.

The silk and satin shops in the county are different. The fabrics inside are so dazzling!Those who watched were dazzled.All kinds of inexplicable names, even the colors are very diverse, obviously but the main color has indeed multiplied thousands of variations, with different shades and suitable shades.

Although there are only two types in terms of essence, there are so many types of fabrics that have changed.The IQ of the ancient people should not be underestimated!Looking all the way, Yueting's eyes were dazzled, and she wanted to touch it, but she didn't dare.

"Miss Li, Shopkeeper Sun, why are you here?" Li Xin and the others were looking at the fabrics!But someone lifted the curtain from the side of the counter and came out.Li Xin looked over, but it turned out to be Zheng Xing!Shopkeeper Sun also said earlier that he owned a silk and satin village in the county, but Li Xin didn't pay attention to it, and unexpectedly left early in the morning, and met again at this time.

"It turned out to be Boss Zheng's shop! It's a rare trip to the county, so I thought about buying some fabrics to go back. I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Li Xin also got up, this world is really small!Or this is also a kind of fate!Where in life do not meet.

"It's rare that everyone has come to the shop, come in and have a cup of tea! I'll send someone back to tell the lady to clean up the table. You should pay me a favor! Or just stay at my house for one night and go back tomorrow !" Zheng Xing greeted Li Xin and his party to go to the back hall, behind the shop was a row of houses, where the guys lived on weekdays.There was a hall in the middle, and a group of people walked in. Zheng Xing hurriedly ordered the waiter to serve tea.

"Boss Zheng, don't be too busy. We're just going for a stroll, and we're going back to do some shopping."

"How can this be done? They have already arrived at my door, and they have to have a meal anyway. Besides, it's already this time, and it will be time to have dinner in a few hours. If you still rush back, it will be dark You probably didn’t come to the town! Don’t be polite to me, it’s just an acquaintance, you think of me as a friend!”

Zheng Xing tried to persuade him to stay again, but shopkeeper Sun and Li Xin couldn't refuse anymore.After getting acquainted for a while, they also know that Zheng Xing is a bold person, not the kind who says one thing and does another, since he keeps trying to keep him, it is not false, but sincere, so naturally it is not easy to refuse, and Zheng Xing was right.If you still want to rush back to the town, I'm afraid the road will be difficult to walk after dark.

Sitting in the back hall for a while, sister Li Xin picked out some fabrics. Zheng Xing didn't accept money at first, but this time Li Xin would definitely not accept such kindness again.Zheng Xing is also a businessman. Business is business, and friendship is friendship.Those cows in the Zhuangzi are worth a lot of money. Her family has accepted Zheng Xing's kindness once, and there will never be another time.She also said that if she didn't charge the money, she wouldn't want the fabric, so Zheng Xing had no choice but to accept it.

Zheng Xing handed over the store to the shopkeeper, and took Li Xin and the others to Zheng's house.The Zheng family is considered very wealthy in the county, and the big house occupies a large area.In this country, the imperial court has no restrictions on merchants, so in this era, the status of merchants is still very good.Some dynasties restricted merchants from wearing silk and satin, and from taking sedan chairs when going out, but there were none here, so merchants still lived very comfortably.You already have money, and the court has no restrictions, so you can enjoy it naturally.
