"Don"t come over here if you have nothing to do in the future. Although the animals that Old Master Chen sells are excellent, the people that he sells are also iconic. Most of them even go to brothels or other places." The waiter lowered his voice and told the two of them. His small eyes peeked in the other direction, afraid that Old Master Chen would hear them."Got it, Brother Li!" Mu Jinzhi pulled her hand and replied cutely.
"Come with me, this donkey picking is no more than looking at the entire donkey, the finer thing is to look at the teeth groove, generally the teeth groove is deep, dark color is all the old donkey, but you buy donkey calves, you just need to look at your eyes to have a spirit, to have a strong body, to have four strong limbs, and then see if the donkey leg is injured." As he spoke, he led the two into the hut, Mu Rousang extended his hand out to cover his nose, it was too heavy!
"Heh heh, haven"t you been in the barn before?" The waiter of surnamed Li looked around and pointed to three of them. "These three are not bad. The rest depends on which one you like."
Mu Rousang pulled Mu Jinzhi to one side and whispered, "Brother, should we buy one or two?" Mu Jinzhi looked at her with wide eyes: "Little sister, be good and let"s buy one. This donkey is extremely expensive!" Although he did not ask for the price, it was not cheap either. He was shocked by Mu Rousang"s thoughts.
"But, big brother, in the future, you have to go to the private school. I"ve asked the dicotyls, we don"t have any in our village, we have to go to the next village before we can have a private school." Mu Rousang would definitely come to town often, and Mu Jinzhi had to go to school, so a donkey was a little lacking. Alright, since Mu Rousang had money, she started to be arrogant, and she even wanted to get a private car for herself, although it was mini, at least she saved herself the gra.s.s!
"Little sister, let"s buy one first. We can talk about it when our family is better. It"s not like big brother is going to school right now." Mu Jinzhi firmly refused.
"Alright!" Mu Rousang wanted to see if she could go to County in the future and buy a horse for her brother to ride. If Mu Jinzhi knew about her thoughts, she would probably be frightened. Her family still lived in a thatched hut that was only a grade higher than a gra.s.s hut.
"Brother Li, I"ve talked to my sister about it. I wonder how much this donkey is selling for?" Mu Rousang, who had a lot of experience, showed the look of a big brother. Mu Rousang, who was at the side, smiled as she said that her big brother had finally learned how to start something. In the future, all she could do was hide behind her back and think of a way to get money.
"Because this donkey is still young, it cannot be cultivated, so its price will be cut by half. Fortunately, it"s enough for all of you to use. The boss told me to pick out a good one for you." The Second Master of the Li family was unclear about the Mu family"s situation. These days, it had been a common occurrence for Mu Jinzhi to have chosen the main branch of his family.
Mu Rousang then asked him if the smaller it is, the cheaper it is. "How could it be counted like that? In my opinion, you should choose the one in the middle. " He pointed to a small donkey with brown hair, ears erect, broad forehead, and a short nose.
"Although this body is a little small, it looks quite spirited!" The surnamed Li was very satisfied with himself for choosing a first-rate donkey and being able to report to his boss.
Mu Rousang poked Mu Jinzhi with her finger, and he pinched the back of her hand with his, "Brother Li, thank you for your help, these few copper coins can be used to drink a bowl of cold tea, if it wasn"t for brother"s help today, not only would Little Sister and I not have been able to pick a good one, maybe..." The more he thought about it, the more he broke out in a cold sweat. He had originally thought that she would not encounter any danger once he reached town.
"Heh, thank you, little brother." The waiter Li took the copper coin and threw it away a few times. He was naturally happy that he could earn some money by running around, so he called old man Chen over and said, "We"re going to take this and add a donkey cart. You shouldn"t come here empty-handed and give us a real price, right?"
At this moment, his tone immediately changed. Old man Chen seemed to be quite familiar with him. "If you say so, then I"ll quote a fair price. This number!" He lowered his voice and used his fingers to form a word.
Mu Jinzhi looked at the waiter with the surname Li for some unknown reason, "This is a rule, it"s something that you cannot say. Give him the silver, and that will be the price." He took Mu Jinzhi"s small hand and gestured a few times on his palm, and it turned out to be two taels of silver.
Mu Rousang looked at the wooden carriage in front of him in a daze. On both sides of the wooden carriage, there were boards about a foot wide, but the center was … Why is there only one wheel? Young man Chen leered at her. "Heh heh, you haven"t seen this little girl before!" "If you want to run down this mountain, you can only use a cart with one wheel, not us. Although this cart is a little old, it"s still st.u.r.dy!" Chen Yang placed the donkey cart into Mu Jinzhi"s hands.
The waiter saw that it was getting late, so he went back to the shop to help out. "Alright, thank you very much Young Master Chen. When we have time, let"s have a drink together." With that, he urged Mu Rousang and her sister to leave quickly.
"Many thanks for Big Brother Li"s help. If Big Brother hadn"t reminded me earlier, I might have fallen for his trap!" Mu Jinzhi stood at the exit of the market and thanked the waiter named Li.
"It doesn"t matter, just let me know if there"s anything important in the future!" He didn"t expect the two siblings to be so generous. The surnamed Li and the waiter enthusiastically rushed to curry favor with them.
"In the future, whenever I have something to do, I will definitely disturb Big Brother. It"s getting late, I will be taking my little sister to purchase some things. I will be leaving now!" After the three of them split up, Mu Jinzhi held the little donkey and rubbed its back. He never would have thought that not long ago, he would still be out begging, and in the blink of an eye, his family already had a car, so in the future, they wouldn"t need to worry about not earning money from food. Just using the donkey to cultivate their land would make them some money.
Mu Jinzhi felt that the sun was shining today, and his mood was exceptionally relaxed. He carried Mu Rousang to the front of the carriage and placed him on a wooden board, "Little sister, support this side of the carriage, and sit down.
"Bro, let"s go buy two little piglets!" With the silver, Mu Rousang wanted to fix the pig shed, and the two went to the market to ask around, only to find out that the piggies required 500 gold each.
"Little sister, do we still need to buy? This piggy is too expensive!"
"Bro, of course we want to buy it!" She didn"t need to worry about the rations. The more she fed, the better it would be.
"Alright, let"s buy one!" Sigh, Mu Jinzhi started to feel pained again. Although he had earned a lot today, he had also spent a lot.
"Buy two!" Mu Rousang originally wanted to buy 10 or 20 of them, but it was better for him to keep a low profile and make a fortune in the next moment.
The two of them discussed and then bought two pigs to hang on the two sides of the cart. In the town, Mu Jinzhi still did not dare to drive the carriage, he only dared to pull the donkey, and now that they were outside the town, he sat on the donkey cart and learnt to drive the carriage, "Brother, why is the donkey not leaving?" When the incense was gone, the donkey stood still.
"Little sister, don"t be anxious. Wait for big brother to take a look!" Mu Jinzhi was sweating profusely. He couldn"t do anything but hold onto his donkey!
Mu Rousang"s head was filled with black lines. She could not help but say, "Brother, let me go pick up a small branch for you!" How could she chase a donkey without a donkey whip!?
"Uh, little sister, big brother did not expect that. Oh, right, the driver on the oxcart was indeed holding a whip. Why didn"t I think of that?" He tapped his head.
Mu Rousang jumped off the car, ran to the side and picked up a tree branch, "Brother, try it again!"
"Hm!" Giddy, let"s go! Little sister, you have to sit tight! " Mu Jinzhi was both nervous and excited to learn how to drive a carriage. Fortunately, the donkey was docile to begin with, so after a few light whipping sounds, he pulled the cart along and jogged.
"Brother, tell me, when we go back, what will we do if Eldest Aunt and the others ask?" Mu Rousang was a little worried, that family was like a piece of dog skin plaster. They would not be able to shake him off in this lifetime, and could only try their best to stay far away.
"Don"t worry little sister, no matter how we buy it, it has nothing to do with uncle"s family!" Mu Jinzhi answered her with absolute certainty.
Looking at the new courtyard wall, "Bro? What was going on? Could Second Uncle Qin and the others have come today? "
"It should be, sister. Tomorrow, when we deliver the food to town, we"ll get two catties of wine and send it to Second Uncle Qin." Mu Jinzhi carried her and rushed the donkey cart to the courtyard.
"Oh, Hibiscus Mutabilis, where did you guys get your money from? This donkey cart is pretty strong." The Eldest Aunt Mulberry of Mu Rousang was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, leaning against the door while wearing a set of coa.r.s.e cloth clothes the color of soy sauce.
Seeing this calamity spirit, Mu Rousang felt a headache once again. Mu Jinzhi tied the donkey and walked over to ask: "Eldest Aunt!" Even if he did not ask her what was the matter, he would not allow her to enter the courtyard.
"Jin Zhi, where did you guys get your money from?" "How long has it been since we mended the yard? What kind of good stuff did Qin Tiezhu get from your house?" Mulberry stared at the donkey stealthily. Only later on did she realise that there were two pigs on top of the donkey cart, and she wanted to enter the yard to take a look with a jealous look. The two siblings just stood there like mutes, not replying, and extended their hands to stop her from entering.
Just as Mulberry wanted to push Mu Jinzhi away, she heard someone coughing outside the courtyard. She immediately retracted her hand. The three of them p.r.i.c.ked up their ears. The sound of their footsteps was heavy enough to make a man say, "Eldest Qin"s wife, you"re here too!" "Jin Zi, is Rou Sang at home?" Mu Rousang, who was thinking of a way to drive away Mulberry, suddenly had his eyes flash. "Second Uncle, we"re here!"
"When I was in the courtyard, someone was talking about your family buying a car called the donkey cart, Second Uncle came over to greet them first, if there is anything I can do with your family"s donkey cart, of course we can calculate it according to how much you spend on normal daily rations!"
Pfft, this Second Uncle Qin must have seen her Eldest Aunt coming over, "No problem, my family originally wanted to rely on donkey cart to eat, with Second Uncle"s help, my family"s days will be easier, oh right, Eldest Aunt, what business do you have with us?" Qin Tiezhu"s helper came in time, saving Mu Rousang a lot of brainpower.
Mulberry held her breath. She didn"t know whether to cry or cry, but this little donkey was definitely a good person, worth several taels of silver, which made her heart itch, and now that Qin Tie-Zhu was here, it seemed like this matter wouldn"t happen. "I also heard from my neighbors, so I came to take a look!" It seemed like the donkey cart wouldn"t be able to trick him today.
"Oh ~ ~ ~!" He said that one book is worth several silver taels. I remember that my father has quite a few books, Eldest Aunt, when are you going to return those books to us? I know that, but I know that I have never heard of such a thing before. "My mother"s funeral requires us to keep a few books!" Before Mu Rousang could say anything, Mu Jinzhi attacked first.
Mu Rousang"s temper was strong to begin with, she would definitely not allow this unknown Eldest Aunt to bully her, "That"s right, Eldest Aunt, we went to the town to ask around, the donkey cart today are worth a book"s worth of money." The paper books here cost a few taels of silver each. It was truly rare.
Mulberry was jealous, she had always been used to Mu Fenge, but now that Mu Rousang did not suit her, she raised her hand naturally to slap him, "Eldest Aunt!" Mu Jinzhi stared at Mulberry with his blood red eyes.
Mulberry"s body trembled, then he dispiritedly retracted his arm, "Pui, money loser!"
"Eldest Aunt, are you talking about Feng"e Sis? "Aiya, shouldn"t I tell her!" Mu Rousang was not afraid of a woman with a long tongue like her.
"Alright, Eldest Wife Mu. I just saw your son go back when I came out!" The reason why Mulberry was so arrogant and despotic was because she gave birth to a son for Mu Rousang"s uncle.
At the same time, she was very envious of his family. Not only did the Qin family have one more son than her, but the older kid had even gone to the biggest restaurant in town to become a waiter. That was a status higher than a mud leg man, who could eat until they were full, dress up, and work hard, and still get a monthly allowance.
