Chapter 150 Buying a Carriage

Chapter 150 Buying a Carriage

Early this morning, it was a sunny day. Zhao Shuangxi and her daughter went to the market and quickly sold out the fried frogs.

After selling the fried frogs, they went home and put the empty baskets, took the money and went to Zhao Yao's house without even drooling, today Zhao Xiaowu was going to buy horses with them, so Zhao Yao didn't go to the pier to carry rice.

Zhao Yao and Mrs. Xu were bending over and holding the scissors in the yard to handle the frogs.

"Guy, let's go now?" When Zhao Xiaowu saw Zhao Shuangxi and He Lanshan, a pair of shining black eyes seemed to glow.

"Let's go, have you brought the silver?" Zhao Shuangxi asked.

"Bring it, it's a total of 18 taels of silver. If we see a horse we like, we can buy it if it is more expensive." Zhao Xiaowu patted his chest, and the silver was hidden in the inner pocket of his clothes.

The three of them came to Yan's Yahang.

Liu Yazi was already very familiar with them, and when he saw them coming, he immediately called the servants to bring tea and some dried fruits.

"Uncle Liu, we are going to buy horses today!" He Lanshan looked at Liu Yazi and explained why he came.

"Horse, whatever you want. With horses, we can go back and forth in a few counties next door in a day. It's good to go out for fun occasionally." Liu Yazi nodded, and then asked them to sit down and wait, and go right away Contact the stable.

Sitting in this private room, Zhao Xiaowu felt extremely uncomfortable, especially after the servant brought out the water and dried fruit plates, he whispered in He Lanshan's ear, "He just put us here, and even took us to eat." Aren’t you afraid that we’ll eat his food and run away?”

"Our house was led by Liu Yazi, who is already a regular customer. Besides, if the business wants to grow, how can we not even give up these few copper coins." He Lanshan taught Zhao Xiaowu another lesson.

Then he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the dried fruit plate and gave them to Zhao Xiaowu, who ate them like a little mouse. Zhao Shuangxi was not restrained this time, drinking tea and knocking on the melon seeds leisurely.

After they finished eating the dried fruit plate, Liu Yazi also came back.

"I went to find a stableman, let's go directly to his stable.

"Horse farm, there is also a horse farm here?" He Lanshan was very interested, and did not expect that there was a horse farm in the small county.

Liu Yazi told He Lanshan in detail, it turns out that Pingyang County is located in several key transportation hubs, so they set up post stations here, and there are post stations at this end and the other end of the county.

On the official road, people often change horses at post stations, so the demand for these horses has increased, so some people have seized this way of making money and opened horse farms.

"The horse farm is quite far away, let's go in a carriage!" Liu Yazi patted his hands up and down lightly, and the servant hurried out.

"Uncle Liu, do you still have a carriage?" He Lanshan stared at Liu Yazi with rounded eyes. She only knew that the agency in the previous life was very profitable, but she didn't expect that Yazi in this era is also fat.

Seeing He Lanshan's admiring gaze, Liu Yazi touched his chin, coughed lightly and said, "Of course there are. My guests are spread all over this circle in several counties. We, Yan Jiya, travel in other places. There are branches in all the state capitals.”

"So that's how it is..."

After He Lanshan finished speaking, the servant had already brought the carriage.

Liu Yazi's carriage was pulling a strong tall horse with black hair all over its body, and it kicked its hooves as if its temper was not very docile.After they got into the carriage, the driver whipped the horse and the horse galloped out.

He Lanshan almost crashed into the carriage, but fortunately she was grabbed by Zhao Xiaowu.

"Uncle Liu, how much money did you buy for this horse? It runs quite vigorously." He Lanshan held onto the window of the carriage tightly, fearing that she would be thrown out again.

"That's right, my horse is a thoroughbred horse. Even if I like its strength, it's not a problem to pull some goods. In addition, the carriage cost a total of 45 taels of silver." Liu Yazi said proudly.

It's rare to see her boasting so much, she looks very much like a man showing off his car in the previous life.

"Then we only have 30 taels of silver. Could it be that we can't buy good horses?" He Lanshan said in embarrassment. This carriage is mainly valuable for horses, and the carriage is actually not that valuable.

"You can't say that. Let's see when the time comes. If it is a good-bred horse from the post station, it is also cheap, or a horse with a little bit of strength, or a horse with a not-so-good-looking coat." Liu Yazi said a lot.

He Lanshan understood and didn't know what to say, mainly because she didn't see the horse, so she began to fall asleep.

It took more than half an hour for the carriage to arrive at the horse farm.I saw that the horse farm was by the river, surrounded by a piece of tender green grass. There were at least five horses grazing on the grass in the horse farm, some big and some small.

"Old Zhou, I brought you a guest!" Liu Yazi was a regular visitor here, and started yelling as soon as he entered.

An old man with his trouser legs rolled up sat under the straw shed on the horse farm. He looked leisurely and wore a straw hat. He nodded at Liu Yazi when he heard Liu Yazi's words.

"This is Lao Zhou. He is showing horses to the owner of this horse farm. If you want to buy a horse, you can go to him. The price is the most affordable." Liu Yazi was talking, and the stableman called Lao Zhou had already woken up, so he took them to the stable. Look at the horses.

"What are you going to buy horses for?" Lao Zhou pointed to the horses in the stables, stroking their heads of different colors affectionately, and said to He Lanshan and the others: "Horses with different tempers have different stamina, and the jobs they can do are different." Also different."

"We just bought horses and went to neighboring counties to do business." Zhao Shuangxi replied to Lao Zhou's words.

"It's better to have a cheaper price. They are acquainted with me, and they are all honest and responsible people. This horse will definitely be a treasure when bought back." Liu Yazi said beside Lao Zhou.

"Which time you didn't say that." Lao Zhou said disdainfully.

But a pair of cloudy eyes sized Zhao Shuangxi and the three of them for a while, seeing that they were not dressed like those of wealthy families, Liu Yazi's words became a little more believable.

He Lanshan also figured it out during the conversation between the two of them. This horseman named Lao Zhou must be a horse lover.

"Grandpa Zhou, we buy horses to sell fried frogs made by my mother. They are not heavy, so we just want to find a horse with a good temper. We will go to neighboring counties at most once a day." He Lanshan put the demand I told Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou looked at He Lanshan's clear eyes, and the child's words were much more believable than Liu Yazi's.

He glanced at the meadow and said to them, "Come with me."

He Lanshan was overjoyed, did she get Lao Zhou's consent to find a horse that was more suitable for them?
"Hush——" Lao Zhou made a ring with his index finger and thumb, put it on his lips, and whistled lightly, and the loud whistle was heard. At this time, a maroon horse with a tuft of white hair on its forehead ran away. come over.

"Bai Xue, good boy!" Lao Zhou patted the head of the bay red horse.

The bay red horse also rubbed against Lao Zhou's palm affectionately, which seemed very human.
