Soon Yan Laoer got the opportunity to go to the town again.
The people in the village were so moved by Xiucai Gong's behavior that they decided to join together to see if they could buy one or two more animals.
Xiucai Gong is right. If you can travel and eat, you should buy food reserves.
Village Chief Luo trotted all the way to Yan's house with the money raised by the whole village, followed by the young disciples who wanted to go with him.
Yan Laoer started driving the car without saying anything.
The village chief's eldest son, Mr. Luo, and his grandchildren Santie, Cui Langzhong and his eldest son, Qi Si and Wang Erlang, all of whom are good at riding two wheels in the village, all went with them.
When we arrived at the cattle and horse market in the town, the market situation changed again. There were more people selling livestock and the prices were even lower.
A few days ago, a mule cost seven taels of silver. Today, the price of a donkey has dropped from three taels to two and a half cents.
This is the price with the car, which can be described as a tearful sale.
Yan Huaiwen gave fifteen taels to the village, and each family contributed another six taels.
These people's fingers were almost broken, and they didn't even figure out how many donkeys they could buy for the money they spent on two mules.
Yan Laoer:......
He couldn't stand it, so he went over to negotiate the price with the two men selling the mules.
"You are all donkeys and mules, not horses and mules. Why are you so embarrassed to ask for six or two and five? Five taels is about the same.
Let me take a look at my teeth.
The hooves are lifted up and I can take a look.
This won't work, this, you mule is old, isn't it? How many more years can you still work?
I bought it and served it deliciously and deliciously, but it fell down within two years.
Do you want to give it to me? If not, I will go see the donkey."
He then went to the place where people were selling donkeys, and gave another meal:
"Looking at how thin the donkey is, hold it and let me touch its belly to make sure it doesn't grow anything bad.
Teeth, yes, open them and let me see.
Ouch! This little car is passed down from ancestors, right? How many generations has it been passed down? It’s too old. Don’t let it fall apart again.
Your donkey is losing hair, is it sick? How dare you ask for two or two six? One or two and five, I will take him away to eat the meat..."
He harassed all the mules and donkeys in the cattle and horse shops.
If you ask for a counter-offer to someone who is popular, then just counter-offer. Why should you pay back blindly?
Cui Langzhong thought of Yan Laoer's hoof-trimming skills and suddenly realized, "Aren't they stupid people? Leave it to a sensible person to ask."
Yan Laoer can trim hooves, so he must have dealt with these animals more than them.
"Brother Yan, come here and help me calculate the total." He waved to Yan Laoer.
Yan Laoer was confused and asked: "What do you think? What do you want to buy?"
"I heard that mules can pull things better than donkeys, and that mule carts are bigger. We want to buy two mules," Wang Erlang said.
"With the remaining money after selling the mules, I want to buy a donkey." Luo Laodao said.
Yan Laoer nodded: "In this case, give me all the money and I will buy it for you."
A few people, you look at me, I look at you.
Boss Luo was cruel and handed the tightly wrapped silver into his hand.
Don't worry, Yan Laoer will just follow him, Xiucai Gong takes the big shot here.
Then everyone saw Yan Laoer walking freely in the cattle and horse row, just like at home.
After going here and there, we quickly settled on two mules.
One head is six and two and one, and the other is five and two and eight.
Then there are four donkeys, two two three, two two one qian five, two two two, one 2 five...
Yes, that's right, he also bought the sick donkey that lost its hair.
A few people were silent, and they were doing calculations in their minds. The ones they bought earlier must have been a good deal, but they didn't know how much meat they would get from killing the sick donkey.
After buying two mules and four donkeys, there was still something left in the end.
Yan Laoer weighed the remaining five cents and said, "Let's go."
While leading the mule and the donkey, several people suddenly discovered that they had to count the kid Da Gouzi before they would have enough people.
Yan Laoer bought grain and saltpeter with the money given by Lao Yan, and spent the remaining money at the meat stall.
Those few people just watched him buy and buy without saying much.
If it weren't for Yan Laoer, the purchase wouldn't be so smooth and it wouldn't be so cheap.
How can I care about the remaining five cents of silver?
Unexpectedly, Yan Laoer took the initiative to bring it up.
"Let me do the math for you. Two mules are eleven taels and nine cents, and four donkeys are eight taels and one cent and five cents. Our total is twenty-one taels. We have gone to twenty-two cents and five cents, and there are still five cents left."
"These five cents of silver are just enough to treat the donkey that's losing its hair. It's not a big deal.
Mix saltpeter with lard, make an ointment, and apply it two or three times.
The saltpeter cost three cents of silver, and this lard... it’s really hard to calculate. If you buy less fat, you won’t have enough fat, so just treat it like my family bought lean meat, and the fat meat will be counted as two cents. Do you think that’s okay?”
"Uncle Yan Er, you're not at a loss then. Fat meat is more expensive than lean meat." Santie immediately shouted to help, looking at Yan Lao Er, if he could get around more easily in the town, he would save two donkeys for them.
Qi Si: "Brother Yan, that sick donkey only cost one, two and a half cents. If the ointment works, at least six cents of silver will be saved. We are taking advantage of you."
"Let's get back together..." Wang Erlang said honestly.
Boss Luo also nodded, "Yes, go back and work together, I can't let you suffer."
Yan Laoer couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm not at a loss, our family loves to eat lean meat.
Also, I am giving you this account because I want you to remember it for yourselves so that no one can ask you to explain clearly. The money was collected by each family in the village, and the animals purchased were used by everyone together, so the accounts must be clearly stated."
Mr. Cui couldn't help but nodded and said: "We have to let everyone know that without the second brother Yan, we wouldn't be able to buy it so cheaply.
Also, Brother Yan, you are so quick to settle accounts, it’s amazing!”
Several people also praised him, which made Yan Laoer feel embarrassed.
This is nothing, it’s just at the level of a primary school student.
…
There were mules and donkeys added to the village, and the whole village, old and young, stayed away from home all night, lighting torches and watching with wonder as these animals grinded wheat instead.
The three irons are the most lively. How do they go to the cattle and horse store? What is it like in the cattle and horse store? How majestic is his second uncle Yan? He keeps pushing the price again and again. With twenty-one taels, he can bring back six animals!
The villagers were stunned for a while after hearing this. Is this Yan Laoer?
So capable?
Yan Laoer, who is capable, is applying ointment to a donkey that has lost its hair.
"Dad! Here, taste it to see if it's sweet or not." Yan Yu handed over a piece of roasted sweet potato.
"Who baked it?" Yan Laoer swallowed hard at the smell.
"Mom said just throw it in the stove, so I'll throw two in." Yan Yu said, "I'll share that one with my uncle, eldest brother, and eldest sister, and this one will be divided between the three of us."
Yan Laoer took a bite from his daughter's hand.
His eyes lit up and he praised: "It's so sweet!"
"By the way, where's the meat I brought back?"
"My mother took my eldest sister to rub it with coarse salt, and said I would hang it up to dry later, hehe!"
"How is your eldest sister?"
"It looks like everything is fine, but Mom said she would let me sleep with Sister Daya today."
"No one goes to our house, right?"
"Don't worry, Dad, we've been out all day, and the door is still locked."
"Qi Si and I agreed to let his brother help build a carport. The wheat in the village is coarsely ground very quickly, and I don't know if it will be late."
