Chapter 111 The parents on the road to escape 9
However, three taels of silver is too low.
The donkey seller frowned, and finally made up his mind: "Please add more, three taels of silver is really too low. If a donkey of this quality were the same as before, I would never have been able to get it for less than five taels of silver. You can only buy that quality for three taels." Different donkeys.”
Yuan Xi looked at his house for a long time, and intuitively focused on a donkey. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. His eyes were clear, full of intelligence, and there was a small white dot on his forehead.
Just add more points, and he won't lose.
"I'll add five more silver coins. If it works, I'll make the deal. If it doesn't work, I'll go look elsewhere."
The donkey seller gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "Deal."
After paying the money, Yuan Xi took Little Dot out of the fence. From now on, this would be the donkey of their old Zhang family. Dot is the name he just gave to the donkey.
The sons and two eldest nephews were overjoyed and took turns touching the little dots. They also had donkeys at home.
"Uncle Third, are we going to buy cattle next?"
"We're already here, so why not buy them together?"
When the donkey seller heard that they wanted to buy cattle, he recommended his relatives to them.
"You go inside. The one with the blue cloth hanging on it is my cousin. He sells cattle. They are all good cattle. They are in their prime. If you are interested, go and take a look."
After thanking the donkey seller, Yuan Xi looked along the road and didn't see any cows that he liked.
When they came to the fence where the blue cloth was hung, there were several cows inside. Yuan Xi took a fancy to a cow with bright eyes. It was about three years old and could still serve in Lao Zhang's family for several years.
"The customer has good eyesight, and this cow is the best among them."
The cow seller introduced it with a smile, and suddenly saw the little dot held by Zhang Lei behind him. He still had some impression of this donkey. It was his cousin's donkey.
"You were introduced here by Little Donkey?"
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, who? Which is the little donkey?
Then he realized who he was talking about, good guy, the donkey seller was originally called Little Donkey, so you are called Little Cow?
Of course Yuan Xi didn't ask, just nodded, "Ah, yes, it was the donkey seller in front who introduced me. He said the cows here are all good, so I stopped by to take a look."
"Since you were introduced by an acquaintance, I will give you an honest price, thirteen taels of silver, and you can take it away if you agree."
The price was indeed honest, and Yuan Xi did not bargain. He paid the price readily and let his eldest nephew hold the cow.
However, Yuan Xi hadn't left yet. With the mentality of giving it a try, he asked the cattle seller which car shop had ready-made carriages for sale. If that didn't work, he would just order it, and it would only take a few days, so he was not in a hurry.
"You want to buy a carriage?"
"Yes, I want to give them both a carriage."
Yuan Xi pointed at the cow and donkey.
"It's simple. You go straight from here, turn right after exiting the bull market, and walk a little further. My cousin has opened a shop that specializes in making carriages for people. The quality is guaranteed. You can go and have a look."
Good guys, your family is really a one-stop service.
When I arrived at the shop, the waiter at the door greeted me warmly.
"What kind of frame do you want to buy? Our master craftsmen with decades of experience make them. They are durable and strong..."
The shop clerk introduced the whole thing without stopping.
"The lung capacity is really good." Yuan Xi thought to himself.
After the store clerk finished the introduction, Yuan Xi took the opportunity to speak, "I want to buy two carriages. Do you have them in stock?"
The carriages are all covered, two at once, this is a big list.
He is the one who receives the customers, and he also gets a share of the reward for every sale. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, please wait a moment, I'll call the shopkeeper."
After a while, the shopkeeper trotted out.
As soon as he heard that the customer wanted to buy two carriages, he immediately came out of the backyard. If you want ready-made goods, no problem at all. Last time, the carriages customized by other customers were discarded as soon as they were finished. They were thrown into your hands at once. Now someone has taken over, and the shopkeeper is overjoyed.
He took Yuan Xi into the backyard to see the carriage and gave him a detailed introduction.
"Why don't guests try it on?"
Without giving Yuan Xi a chance to refuse, upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, the two shop assistants quickly put Niu and Little Dot into the carriage.
After trying them all one by one, Yuan Xi bought them directly.
The materials used in these two carriages are different. The cheaper one costs 2 taels, while the other costs 5 taels, which is more expensive than the little dot.
Seeing Yuan Xi spending the money without blinking, Zhang Lei and others were stunned for a moment at this bold gesture.
My father/third uncle is too prodigal.
A few people got into the car and left the shop directly. The ones responsible for driving were Zhang Sen and Zhang Wang, who had learned from Uncle Lao Gen for a while. I was a little nervous at first to get started, but gradually I became more proficient and my own ox cart and donkey cart just felt different.
"Dad, where are we going now?"
"Go to the rice shop, let's buy some food."
Yuan Xi bought food very quickly, and when he got to the rice shop, the waiter was a little dazed, but he was also happy when he met a big customer.
After asking a few guys to load the food into the car, Yuan Xi started to go to the next stop.
Today he wants to take a good tour of the county.
Next, Zhang Lei and others witnessed Yuan Xi shopping all the way, and their little hearts gradually numbed from the initial pain.
Father/third uncle...
Come back fully loaded.
When returning to the village, the troops split into two groups. Yuan Xi, Zhang Sen and Zhang Wang did not go back from the entrance of the village. Instead, they took a detour and went directly to their in-laws' brother-in-law on the mountain. One of the others took a few things, got off the car at the fork in the road, and passed through the village entrance to go home.
Although most of the villagers in Zhangjia Village have the surname Zhang, and only a few people come from other households, and everyone is related to them, pinkeye is an unreasonable disease.
Yuan Xi didn't want to attract attention in the village, so he took everything including his car and belongings to his in-laws' house, and then quietly moved them back home little by little.
The whole day was spent outside. I set off early in the morning and didn't have time to eat lunch. I only bought a few steamed buns in the county town to pad my stomach.
It was already sunset when we returned to Zhangjiacun.
The road up the mountain is not that easy to walk, especially by car, and it is even more difficult to walk. There is only an overgrown path.
Zhang Sen and Zhang Wang drove up the mountain cautiously, getting out of the car from time to time to clean the rocks, and finally saw the house of their brother-in-law.
The two cried with joy.
