Chapter 24 The most beautiful kid in the village
Come to the car dealership, which is also the livestock market.
The market was crowded and bustling with people, and the cries of livestock could be heard one after another.
Looking at the strong calves, Lin Dashan was very excited.
"Dad, let's go over there!" Lin Xiaomi made up her mind not to buy the cow. It's not that she was stingy, but after seeing her parents being bullied for so many years, she really had no good feelings towards those people.
Lin Dashan:......
"Uncle, would you like to buy a mule?"
The mule dealer was very happy to see customers coming.
"How much do you sell this mule for?"
"21 taels. Look, this is a strong mule that has just grown up. It can easily pull a thousand kilograms of cargo."
"So expensive!" Lin Dashan blurted out. This is much more expensive than he thought. This person is not honest!
"Uncle, look carefully. Look at the color of its fur and how strong its body is. If you buy this mule, you can still pull goods for more than ten years. This is the real price. Look around the dealership. Is there any mule better than this one?"
Lin Xiaomi thought this man was too cunning and took his father away.
"Dad, that man is not honest. Let's go look for someone else."
"Selling mules!!!"
"Calves! Calves for sale!"
"........."
There was a constant shouting sound. I never thought that selling livestock was so competitive in ancient times.
"Uncle, how much do you want to sell this mule for?"
They stopped in front of an old man.
"Eighteen taels, a three-year-old adult mule."
Lin Dashan looked at its teeth and hair, and thought, well, it was a good animal.
"Can you make it cheaper, uncle? This price is a bit high!"
"This is the real price. This mule is of the right age and very strong! It's worth buying it!"
"15 taels!" He had asked Shopkeeper Xu about the price before coming. A strong mule cost about 16 taels.
"No, I can't sell it at this price! 17 taels, you take it home!"
"15 taels, okay, I'll take it!"
"You've reduced it by too much, you can't let me lose money! 17 taels, you won't lose anything!"
I didn’t realize her father was good at bargaining!
He turned around and was about to leave with his daughter, but he would wait and see if he could. The mule seller saw him leaving and became anxious: "Give me more, come back, come back!"
Lin Dashan turned around and said, "15 taels, are you selling it?"
"16 taels, big brother, it can't be any lower, this is really the lowest price!" The mule seller was anxious.
Xiaomi stood there and watched her father bargain!
"15 taels, 500 wen. If it's okay, I'll take it away right away. If you don't want to sell it, forget it!"
Seeing that he was about to leave again, the old man selling the mule gritted his teeth and said, "I'll sell it to you!"
Lin Dashan smiled and said, hey, I saved 500 coins!
Leading the mule, they went to buy a carriage shed. A carriage shed cost 4 taels of silver. The carriage was not only big, but also very sturdy. Lin Dashan said that the wood was solid and worth 4 taels of silver. Xiaomi didn't understand, but her father thought it was good.
The after-sales service of the carport seller was quite good. Knowing that her father didn't know how to drive a car, they found someone to teach him step by step.
"Dad, Mom only comes back once in so many years, let's bring some more gifts for grandma!"
"Okay!" Over the years, he felt guilty towards his wife as he did not go back to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year. His stepmother said that his wife's parents' home was too far away and she was afraid that they would be too rushed to go back and forth in one day.
Ha ha!
Thinking that the Yue family must not have made new clothes for a long time, I bought half a piece of black coarse cloth, half a piece of gray cloth, and a piece of fine cotton cloth, two colors.
"Dad, let's go buy a hairpin for Mom. I see she's been wearing that wooden hairpin for years!"
Yes, my wife hasn't had any jewelry in these years, but my two sisters-in-law have some in their dowries. It's not that I wanted to buy one or two pieces before, but I was short of money.
"Buy it!" Lin Dashan waved his hand and took his daughter to the jewelry store.
In front of the counter, there was a glittering golden light that dazzled the two people's eyes.
Lin Xiaomi looked at the dazzling array of jewelry in front of her and couldn't help but feel excited.
"Take out these hairpins and have a look at them!"
She quickly scanned through them and pointed out a few that she thought were nice and generous.
"Dad, which one do you think is good-looking?"
I think they all look good, aren't they all the same? Lin Dashan complained in his heart, "You choose, Dad doesn't have as good taste as you!"
Can talk!
Lin Xiaomi chose a hairpin with a rich peony pattern and a pair of earrings.
"Dad!" She tugged at her father's sleeve, "Can you buy me a pair of bracelets?"
Lin Dashan looked at his daughter's little face. His daughter was so beautiful, so she should be dressed up. "Buy two more pairs of velvet flowers, you can choose!"
These are beautiful words, she loves to hear them!
I picked a pair of pink velvet flowers, a pair of light yellow velvet flowers, and a pair of small silver bracelets with silk.
A total of 8 taels and 6 qian of silver.
Carrying the jewelry, I went to the pastry shop and bought moon cakes, 12 kilograms of pork, a dozen bags of brown sugar, and a few jars of wine.
"Dad, duck eggs!" She wanted to eat salted duck eggs.
"Duck eggs are not tasty and have a fishy smell. Dad will buy you chicken eggs!" Lin Dashan felt that his daughter had never eaten duck eggs and did not know that they were not very tasty.
Fried duck eggs are indeed not delicious, but salted duck eggs are delicious, and preserved eggs are delicious too!
"Buy it, buy it, it must be delicious!"
All right, if the food doesn’t taste good, he will eat it. So, I bought 20 more duck eggs.
After purchasing everything, Lin Dashan, who was driving a mule for the first time, was both excited and nervous, as the mule drove at a speed that exceeded the speed of a human.
"Dad, hurry up!"
"It's safer to go slower. Don't rush us. We'll be home soon!"
Lin Xiaomi: ...
All the way to the village, the new mule cart became the most beautiful thing in the village. Many children in the village gathered around the mule cart and asked, "Lin Xiaomi, is this your car?"
"Yes!"
"Wow, your family is so impressive that they even have a carriage!"
"This isn't a horse-drawn carriage, it's a mule-drawn carriage!"
The only mule cart in the village!
Before I got home, the news had spread throughout the village that the eldest son of the mushroom-collecting Lin family had bought a mule cart.
"Dad, let's go and see big brother's new car!"
Lin Dahai pulled Old Man Lin and wanted to leave.
"Let me go, you bastard. I told you to go to the city to find a job. Have you been out for a few days?"
Lin Dahai touched his nose and said, "Dad, it's not that easy to find a job in this city! Otherwise, you can talk to my eldest brother and I will follow him!"
"There are no mushrooms left, what are you doing?"
"Dad, big brother must have other ways. Didn't you notice that after the mushrooms were gone, big brother still rented a car to go into the city every day? He even bought a mule cart today. If it wasn't useful, I wouldn't believe that big brother would buy it even if you beat me to death!"
I have to say, the truth about Lin Dahai is revealed!
But even if there is, so what? What does it have to do with him?
"Dad, go talk to big brother. If you have any money to earn, don't hide it. Take care of your brothers! He can eat meat, and we can just drink soup with him!"
Old Man Lin: ...
