0010 buy a horse
The fat horse dealer smiled even more after hearing this, and said, "I wonder what kind of horses you like, sir? Why don't you go to the market and have a look."
Just after he finished speaking, the fat horse dealer lightly smacked his lips and said: "What a minor slip of the tongue! The mule and horse market is very dirty, how could you do this! I will bring the horse out for you to see.
Look. I just bought two good horses recently. They are both horses that can travel a thousand times a day and eight hundred times a night! The young master must like them!" After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.
Liu Pei immediately said: "Wait a minute."
The fat horse dealer immediately turned around and bowed and said, "I wonder what the young master's orders are?"
Liu Pei deliberately tilted his head and said: "Well, the horse I want must be a good horse! It must be elegant! But, my master, well, my time is limited and I don't have time to train horses, so don't give me too much temper.
The horse is too strong, do you understand?"
Liu Pei's performance really deceived the fat horse dealer! In the eyes of the fat horse dealer, Liu Pei is just like a sour young man who comes from a wealthy family, doesn't know the sufferings of the world, only knows how to read, and wants to save face! These merchants are the worst.
I like this kind of young master, as usual, they only care about face, not arrogance! Such people are the easiest to defraud out of money!
The fat horse dealer was overjoyed after hearing Liu Pei's words! He said repeatedly: "Don't worry, sir, I still have a high-quality bay red horse in my hand! Well, it went to Zisungen, and it is absolutely docile! I will take it now.
Come and show me, Master."
Seeing Liu Pei nodding in agreement, the fat horse dealer turned around and left quickly. In the blink of an eye, he led a bay-red horse out. Liu Pei didn't know horses, so naturally he didn't know what the horse was like. He bravely stepped forward to touch it.
Horse head. That horse is indeed docile. When Liu Pei stretched out his hand to touch it, it not only refused to hide, but also rubbed it in his hand.
The fat horse dealer was even more happy when he saw it, and said: "Young Master is indeed a noble man! This horse is usually docile, but it has never been so kind to others! But now that this horse saw the Young Master, he immediately fell in love with him at first sight!"
"
Liu Pei continued to touch the horse's head and said with a smile: "You are really ignorant and unskilled. Falling in love at first sight is what you use it for!"
The horse dealer was even more happy when he saw Liu Pei smiling. He smiled and said, "It's the little one."
No! It’s just a kid! A kid doesn’t know anything. He just listens to what others say and uses it!"
In fact, this person may not know the use of love at first sight, it is just a joke here, so as to please the buyer and take the opportunity to ask for a high price.
Liu Pei touched the horse's head and said casually: "Tell me, how much is it?"
The fat horse dealer opened his mouth without hesitation and said: "This horse is destined to the young master. The younger one will be sold half and half given away. The young master will just give the younger one 40 taels of silver!"
In fact, there was no shortage of horses in the Ming Dynasty. Generally, horses that could be used as military horses only cost three to forty taels of silver. Such ordinary geldings only cost twenty taels of silver! Liu Pei didn't know the price of horses in the Ming Dynasty.
How much was it, but he knew that there must be a lot of lies in it! I'm afraid the horse dealer thought he was being taken advantage of.
But in order to be on the safe side and afraid of being questioned about his origins, he chose the role of someone who would be taken advantage of. So he pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid the price you quoted is a lot of falsehood. But forget it, I am in a hurry.
I bought this horse! But you have to prepare the saddle and saddlebags for me."
The fat horse dealer burst into laughter in his heart! He could get twice as much profit from a single transaction, so why would he care about a nod? The fat horse dealer bowed repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, sir! I'll have everything ready for you soon!"
He pulled Zhang De and ran towards the mule and horse market. In a blink of an eye, he brought out saddles, blankets, saddle bags and a lot of other things. The fat horse dealer quickly placed everything in place by two or three. Then he put the reins on
He held it in his hand and looked at Liu Pei eagerly.
Liu Pei laughed and said: "You are a very careful person! Are you afraid that I will be blamed for your debt?"
The fat horse dealer said: "How could it be possible! How could it be possible!" But he did not loosen the reins in his hands.
Liu Pei walked to the bullock cart, took out a cloth bag from the bundle, took out four gold leaves from it and handed them to the fat horse dealer. The fat horse dealer took the gold leaves and put a little force in his hand, and the gold leaves bent
It was restored to its original shape with just a touch of hand. Looking carefully, I saw that the gold leaves were extremely delicate, with clear veins and coordinated textures, as if they had just been picked from the tree! What’s even more rare is that the four
There is absolutely no difference in the appearance of a gold leaf! In fact, this gold leaf
Liu Pei also ordered the leaves online. Each piece weighs one or two yuan.
Liu Pei looked at the fat horse dealer with a smile and said, "Are these enough?"
The fat horse dealer said quickly: "That's enough! That's enough! I'm afraid there will be another one or two taels of change!" Although he said there was change, his feet were motionless, obviously he didn't intend to look for it anymore!
Naturally, Liu Pei would not disappoint him, so he said, "I'll reward you with the rest. But Zhang De brought me here, so don't forget to give him a share!"
The fat horse dealer smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and kept saying: "Definitely! Definitely!" He immediately handed the reins to Liu Pei's hands, and helped Liu Pei hang the baggage on the saddle.
Liu Pei asked: "How far is it from here to Jinan City?"
The fat horse dealer pointed to the grove in front and said: "It's only a mile away. Turn past the grove in front and go onto the main road, and you can see the city wall. At the end of the main road is the city gate!"
After listening to the instructions, Liu Pei left the two men and led the horse around the grove next to the Luo Ma Market. Not far ahead was the main road, and Liu Pei also saw the towering city walls of Jinan City. The green city walls looked very beautiful in the sun.
It was thick and heavy. Unfortunately, there was no wind, and the flags of various colors were hanging wilfully.
Liu Pei had never seen such an ancient city wall, but he was quite shocked! He didn't know how much blood had been spilled on the green bricks of this city wall. How many arrow marks from crossbows were engraved on it!
Liu Pei sighed for a moment, and took advantage of no one to move many things in the bag into the saddle bag. Then he climbed onto the horse's back carefully. Fortunately, the bay red horse was very docile and stood there waiting for Liu Pei.
Pei climbed up.
After Liu Pei sat down, he imitated the way people on TV ride horses, gently pinched the horse's belly, and shouted "drive". The horse walked forward slowly. After walking for a while,
Liu Pei wiped the sweat from her forehead with peace of mind. Fortunately, the horse was docile and didn't start running wildly, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do!
It was only about a mile from the grove to the city wall. Liu Pei rode on the main road. It was close to noon, and the road was very lively with people coming and going. Everyone looked at Liu Pei, who was dressed in fine clothes, and rode on
