The sturdy peasant girl in space

Chapter 34 Buying a Horse
"Shuanzi, do you think there is anything missing in our house?" Bai Jingwen asked, she herself didn't know what was missing in the house for a while.

"Sister, it seems that there is nothing missing, except that there are no living things in the house except the two puppies you brought back." Shuanzi replied.

Bai Jingwen glanced at him and shook her head, "It's autumn and we can't buy livestock seedlings, and we all buy grain ourselves and don't have any extra grain to feed them.

But you can go and see if there are nunai sheep for sale, the two little things in the house still need to drink nunai, we can't find nunai for them every day.Besides, we can drink some ourselves to give you brothers a good tonic. "

"That's right, let's go and have a look." Shuan Zi nodded in agreement.

The three of them soon came to the place where the livestock were sold and saw that there were indeed some sheep for sale, but there was no female sheep, but a sheep that had just given birth, Bai Jingwen, walked over and asked, "Master, what's wrong with this sheep, you want to sell it? I don't know what the price is?"

"Don't worry, little girl, this sheep is not sick. It just gave birth to two lambs five days ago, but they were picked up by something in the evening when they were born. The rest of the sheep were also frightened and couldn't be raised, so they planned to sell them all. Now, there will only be one left this morning, if you want one tael of silver, you can take it away." The old man replied with a sigh.

Bai Jingwen walked in and looked at the state of the sheep. She was not in a good condition, so she used her mental power to probe into its mind and erased the memories of giving birth and being frightened. After that, the light in its eyes regained its luster, and then it decided to buy it.

The three of them paid the money, Shuanzi led the sheep and thought about walking back.Not far from the door, I saw a circle of people outside and walked over curiously.

"I say you're lying. Could it be a horse? It's so small, it's not as big as a donkey? What can it do?"

"Why not? See if it looks the same as a horse. It's just that it's small because it's young. If it grows a year longer, it will definitely be a first-class horse."

Feeling curious, Bai Jingwen found a place with few people and looked in. At a glance, she saw a black pony, which was smaller than a common adult donkey, kicking the ground restlessly.

Inside, a bearded man with a thick neck was arguing with an old man in his fifties who was dressed in smart clothes.

"Okay, if you don't buy it, I will be lazy to talk to you. If someone wants it, I can only go and wait for the next episode." The bearded man shouted, biting his upper lip.

"You have to tell me how much you plan to sell it for." Another young man in his 20s asked.

"No more, no less 20 taels. If you like it, I will give you the matching carriage over there." The bearded man pointed to Bai Jingwen and replied.

"Xiaoyu, can you see outside? Look at that horse, why does it look like an adult mutant horse?" Bai Jingwen asked Xiaoyu in the space.

"Well, let me see, hey, it's fun, it's indeed an adult horse and it's the offspring of a good horse, but because it's bred by close relatives, the result is equivalent to your human Zhu Ru, hey, it's ruined." Xiaoyu was full of regret. muttered.

"You said it was worth 20 taels of silver? I want to buy it." Bai Jingwen replied uncertainly.In the future, the two younger brothers will go to school, so the family will have to have a laborer, right?

"Of course it's fine. If his parents say it, it will cost thousands of taels of silver, but you might as well buy a donkey or a cow, which are not stronger than it." Xiaoyu replied disapprovingly.

"Horses run fast. Donkeys and cows are too slow. Buying a good horse is too eye-catching. This horse can be considered." Bai Jingwen replied.

"Tch, ask me if you want to buy it. Just buy it. You don't farm, no matter how small it is, it can pull seven or eight hundred catties. It is indeed much faster than donkeys and cows." Xiaoyu twitched her lips and replied.

"Aren't I not sure?" Bai Jingwen turned over the silver and replied.

When Bai Jingwen looked in and looked at the horse, there was no one around, only a bearded man and a skinny man were chatting indifferently.

"Uncle Big Beard, what is the minimum price for your horse." Bai Jingwen thought for a while, and if she could afford it, she would take it.

The bearded man turned his head and saw three children, leading a sheep and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Yes, I was a servant of a rich family and knew this kind of horse. It's like a small wild child among humans. It's far worse than an adult horse. If you are cheaper, I will buy it." Bai Jingwen looked at a small horse carefully. The head of the horse department is very good, and it is only three years old. If it is bigger, it will be a good horse.

"Yes, I met someone who knows the goods, little girl, let me tell you the truth, this is used by the young master of a big family to learn how to ride a horse. I don't want to take it with me when I go to the capital. I exchanged a batch of silk for it. It’s worth ten or so taels of silver, plus that car, you can give me 15 taels of silver and I’ll get it.” The bearded man replied discouraged, in fact, he was forced by his father and had no choice but to have a cow, otherwise he really couldn’t bear it Sell.

"Okay then, you put on the car and teach my elder brother how to drive." Bai Jingwen took out a ten tael silver note and a five tael silver ingot and replied.

"Okay, it's still early, I'll take you two laps, brother, I'm leaving." The bearded man greeted the skinny man next to him and started to set up the car. Cars are not allowed in many places, but she has been beaten on horseback for nearly a year, but she can ride a horse but can't harness a carriage.

"You all come up, I'll just tie the sheep here quickly." The bearded man pointed to the shaft of the car and said.

The three got into the carriage, Shuanzi stared straight at how the bearded man operated, while Xiao Zhuzi looked at the carriage with eyes full of surprise.Bai Jingwen also took a look at the carriage, which was made of jujube wood. After calculating it, the bearded man would only earn one or two taels of silver at most, but it was definitely worth it.

A quarter of an hour later, the bearded man handed over to Shuanzi to watch on the sidelines. After running more than 100 meters, he saw that Shuanzi had almost mastered it, and then the bearded man returned to the market.The three siblings happily drove the pony carriage home with ease.
