Chapter 68
After parting from Nan Xing in the morning, Mo Xi complained faintly: "My lord, there are a lot of delicious food hidden in their back baskets, and there are preserved apricots..."

The smell was so strong, even though the inside of the basket was sealed with oiled paper, the smell couldn't be hidden, and Lu Jingyou could smell it too.

So, he nodded, and then frowned again: "Those big and small bags also have a strong smell..."

Mo Xi was taken aback for a moment, his young master's attention was still so strange.

However, if you never forget, there will be echoes.

At lunch, they received preserved apricots from Hongfu Restaurant, which weighed two catties.

After reading the note, Lu Jingyou smiled slightly, thinking that she still kept her promise, so she handed the note to Mo Xi casually.

Mo Xi took a look, and when he saw six small characters like "gifted by Nanxing friendship" written on it, his face instantly became embarrassed.

Seeing Nan Xing coming out of Hongfu Restaurant with Qiu Ju and Chun Mei full of food and drink, Liu Rong and others surrounded him enviously and hatefully.

"How is it?" Seeing their happy faces, Nan Xing guessed that they should have gained a lot.

"Smooth, very smooth... Most of the clothes and shoes are relatively old, but there are two sets of better quality, and they are dead, so the total is 870 yuan." Liu Rong grinned and said respectfully He handed the money bag to Nan Xing without hesitation.

So, under the eyes of envy and hatred from everyone again, Nan Xing unceremoniously put the money bag into his cuff.

Seeing Nan Xing going around the city, but she had no intention of leaving the city, Qiu Ju asked curiously, "Little lady, where are we going?"

They were a large group of people, carrying an ox cart full of back baskets, just dangling like this, which had already attracted the surprised eyes of many passers-by.

"Donkey Horse Market." Nan Xing said with a smile. She also had another purpose in going to the city this time, which was to buy a donkey to go back, so as not to have to borrow an ox cart every time.

Besides, the bullock cart is not as comfortable as the donkey cart. She also wants to improve the travel conditions and make her butt feel better.

When they heard the words 'Lvmashi', Qiuju and Chunmei thought that she was going to lose money again, but this time they were very happy.

Liu Rong and the others were driving the ox cart behind them, listening to their conversation, they were envious in their eyes and hearts.

When they arrived at Luma Market, Nan Xing was taken aback, and at a glance, it was just a row of wooden sheds.

After looking carefully, there were only a few donkeys there, and there were no cows or horses.

She couldn't help but froze, almost thinking that she had gone to the wrong place.

The person in charge, Fang Yuan, came up to him and jokingly said, "Little ladies, what can I do for you?"

Nan Xing glanced at his faint smile, and knew that he thought they were just bored and came to hang out, and he happened to be bored too.

So, Nan Xing looked at him with distaste again, shook his head towards the wooden shed in front of him and said, "Are there only a few donkeys in your house? This one looks a little sick, and the one next to it doesn't look good. It seems to be a little lame, and the other two ends are relatively thin, so it doesn't look very good."

If people who come to buy goods are not picky, maybe they are really just here for shopping. When Fang Yuan heard what she said, although he didn't think she could afford it, he also put on a smiling face: "There just happened to be one in the back yard. Donkey, it’s just the price, it’s much higher than these…”

Nan Xing interrupted him: "Money is not a problem, let someone pull it out to have a look."

"But that end costs more than four taels." Fang Yuan reminded again.

"Only good products are worth that money." Nan Xing laughed.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but look at her, and then he asked someone to go to the backyard to pull the donkey out.

I saw that when the donkey was pulled out, its eyes were big and energetic, its back was straight and its limbs were straight.

The donkey's hoof kicked the ground a few times very vigorously, leaving several clearly visible donkey hoof prints.

Seeing this, Nan Xing immediately felt happy, thinking that it was it.

She walked over and touched the donkey's body, feeling that it was strong and strong.

So, Nan Xing said with a smile: "How much is this donkey? Let me tell you a real price. If the price is right and fair, I will buy it."

Looking at her words and deeds just now, Fang Yuan should be knowledgeable, and after carefully observing their clothes, the budget should be quite tight.

He thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Good donkeys are not often found. Since today is destined, if you like it, I can sell it to you for [-] Wen."

"It's expensive..." Nan Xing blinked at him, and analyzed with his fingers: "Nowadays, cattle are only about four taels of silver. They go to the fields during farming seasons, and they can be used as ox carts when they are free. It is much more affordable than you. If you pay At your price, I’ll just buy a cow and go back.”

When Fang Yuan heard this, he was even more sure that the other party was not an ignorant child, so naturally he could no longer take her for a fool.

So, he said with a smile: "Since the little lady is so knowledgeable, let's take four taels of silver."

"Can't it be less?" Nan Xing continued to blink and ask.

"This price is already very fair." Fang Yuan began to smile reluctantly.

This donkey is a real good donkey. If he is not in a hurry to spend money, he will not sell it for less than 4000 two hundred cash.

"Okay, I'll take it." Seeing that he was unwilling to lower the price, Nan Xing knew that there was not much room for bargaining.

The donkey is indeed a good donkey, and she is not short of this little money.

Seeing Nan Xingpa give him four taels of silver, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, he never expected that she could give out such a large amount of money.

When he first came to receive her, he thought that being bored was boring, and that it would be okay to find someone to chat with to relieve boredom, but unexpectedly, the deal was made.

He took the money in a daze, and then the smile on his face suddenly became real: "The little lady is also interested in other things? I can give it to you at a cheaper price."

"No more." Nan Xing looked at the remaining donkeys in the wooden shed with disgust.

No matter how cheap it is, she doesn't want it.

Unless it is bought to kill and eat.

Seeing that she wanted to leave, Fang Yuan followed up and asked, "I don't know if the lady bought the donkey to carry people or goods?"

"Pick people when you want to carry people, and load goods when you want to carry goods." Nan Xing said with a smile.

When Fang Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up again, and he kept analyzing to her: "Donkeys are comfortable for carrying people, but when it comes to carrying goods, their stamina is not as good as that of a mule. If the little lady is not in a hurry, or I Take you to see the mules?"

"You still have mules?" Nan Xing stopped and looked back at him.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan became excited, maybe he could sell another mule today.

"Of course, we are a donkey and horse market here. There are donkeys, mules, and sometimes cows, but there are no horses." He explained with a smile.

"Pfft!" Nan Xing glanced at the words 'Donkey Horse Market' on his head, and couldn't help complaining to the white-haired old man in his heart: "So, this is trickery?"

"Of course, in this day and age, cattle are important farming tools, and horses are important war supplies. All transactions need to be registered with the county government to prove the purpose and whereabouts. Otherwise, it is easy to be killed at will or sold privately to the enemy. Army." The white-haired old man explained to her leisurely.
