Shen Qingqing has a cheerful personality and doesn't stick to trivial matters. She shouldn't be angry over such trivial matters.
Zhang Chengyi comforted himself in this way, but when he arrived at the place, he was dumbfounded. Shen Qingqing was still shopping in the county town and had not come back at all.
Mr. He warmly invited him into the shop for tea: "Why don't you come in and sit for a while, drink tea and rest. She has been out for a long time and should be back soon."
Zhang Chengyi listened to the laughter and laughter of the cheerful children in the backyard, and felt as if he had been drinking lotus water. He felt so miserable that he declined her invitation directly, leaving two bags of pastries and leaving.
At this time, Shen Qingqing was buying a carriage in the county. Ningyang County is not a big place and there are not many households that can afford a carriage. Naturally, there are even fewer merchants selling horses. She searched most of the county and finally found a shop that specialized in horse business.
.
The clerk in the store was a fair-skinned young man with a shrewd face. Before he entered the store, he looked Shen Qingqing up and down with his eyes.
When he caught a glimpse of the wooden hairpin in her hair, he was already worried, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood at the door of the store with a smile and asked her: "Girl, are you here to buy a horse or rent it?
"
"If you want to rent or do other things, you don't have to come in. Our store only sells horses, and we don't deal with leasing, lending, and other businesses that are popular with poor people."
Shen Qingqing looked at him coldly, frowning slightly, "Did I mention the word rental? Did I ask you to rent a carriage?"
The clerk was speechless by her question. He blushed for a while and explained: "No, I just want to remind you..."
Shen Qingqing interrupted him impatiently, "I don't want to listen to your reminder. I came here to buy a carriage, not to listen to your nonsense, understand?"
"I understand, I understand." The clerk scratched his face in embarrassment and invited her into the horse feeding field in the backyard. He pointed at the three skinny ponies chewing grass and said: "How are these horses? They just came last month.
The new ones we brought here are cheap, only thirty taels of silver per horse."
No one answered, and when he looked back, Shen Qingqing was not behind him at all, but was pacing in front of the stable on the other side, and finally walked towards an adult male horse with a strong body and shiny hair.
The clerk hurried over and said, "That's the most expensive horse in my shop. If you can't afford it, you might as well come over and take a look. Although these horses look relatively thin, they are of good breed and can be used after a while."
.”
Shen Qingqing seemed not to have heard anything, pointed at the horse and asked: "How much money can I sell?"
Listening to her bold tone, the clerk began to waver in his heart, "Do you really want to buy it?"
"Otherwise? Why am I teasing you here?"
The waiter's face was a little stiff and he hesitated: "Well, I can't make the decision on this. I have to call my boss."
"We've been making trouble for a long time, aren't you the owner of this store?"
Shen Qingqing sneered, "I see you are putting on a lot of airs. You keep saying that you don't do business with the poor. How great do you think you are? You are just a little boy who helps people look after the store."
"Are you a rich person who has done too much business and you feel like you have become a rich person? Please touch your wallet first when you talk next time to know how much you weigh."
At this moment, the waiter was like a roast chicken being roasted on the fire. His face was burning, and his forehead and back were covered with sweat. "Girl, please stop talking. I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake..."
This little girl's mouth is too poisonous, and he can't resist it at all.
Shen Qingqing waved her hand, not intending to quarrel with him, "Call your boss, don't waste time."
The main reason is that this is the only horse-selling shop in Ningyang County. If there is a collapse and she can't buy horses, she can't walk to the south on one pair of legs?
The guy moved very quickly, and soon he led the store owner back.
As soon as the store owner entered the door, he began to praise Shen Qingqing for his good eyesight, "Girl, you have really sharp eyesight. This horse was made by a brother in our army with great effort. It is a Hequ horse and can pull thousands of kilograms of goods.
It’s awesome!”
"If you want it sincerely, I will give you two hundred taels of silver."
Shen Qingqing smiled half-heartedly, "The horse is a good horse, but I'm afraid the asking price is a bit high. A normal adult male horse on the market only costs sixty or seventy taels of silver. No matter how strong your Hequ horse's carrying capacity is, it can't compare to three horses."
Horse?"
As soon as the boss heard this, he knew that she had done her homework in advance, and changed her words: "Then I can make it cheaper, one hundred and fifty taels, see if you can get it."
"One hundred taels, can you get it out?"
The corner of the boss's mouth suddenly drooped, "You pay the price, my heart almost bleeds when I hear it."
Shen Qingqing sighed helplessly: "Stop bleeding. I think there are ready-made carriages in the store. Bring me one. The horse and carriage are a total of 150 taels of silver. Do you think this deal can work?"
The boss thought about the previous customers who shook their heads and left after asking the price, and reluctantly nodded in agreement, "Forget it, I'll sell it to you at a loss. If it weren't for the fear that it would starve and lose weight in the stable every day, I would really be reluctant to sell it!
"
Shen Qingqing followed him to the next door and chose a fairly solid carriage, and settled the money on the spot. The waiter's eyes widened as he watched.
"A person should not be judged by his appearance" is really true. A man wearing a wooden hairpin will spend more than one hundred taels of silver to buy a carriage. Who would believe this?
After paying the money and weighing her half-empty wallet, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain. "Spending money is like running water, making money is like dripping water" is nothing more than that.
Fortunately, she has the ability to catch ghosts and earn some extra money. Otherwise, she would never be able to make a fortune and live a well-off life just by selling mushroom oil noodles.
After shopping, Shen Qingqing drove the ox cart back as usual, with the waiter following behind to help drive the cart.
When he saw the bullock cart, the waiter was obviously stunned for a moment, with a bit of envy in his tone, "Is this your family's cart too?"
You have a lot of money to buy a horse-drawn carriage when you already have an ox-cart. You are really rich!
Shen Qingqing glanced at him sideways, with a hint of meaning in her tone: "No, my family is poor, and this ox cart is rented."
Guy: "...Girl, please don't mention this matter and spare me."
It was already evening when the two returned to Stone Town, and the sunset was just right, making half of the sky red.
Meng Yuan stood at the end of the red light with Si Bao in his arms, the breeze fluttering the hems of his clothes. Both of them were smiling, looking gentle and gentle as time passed.
Shen Qingqing stopped the cattle cart, raised her lips at the two of them, and then directed the men to drive the cart into the backyard.
Mr. He was cooking in the kitchen when he saw the sleek horse. He rushed out without even putting down the spatula and shouted in surprise: "What a horse! Look at this physique, look at this coat.
It looks like a Hequ horse used in the army to transport supplies!"
"My aunt has a good eye, it is indeed a Hequ horse."
He touched the horse's tail, approached Shen Qingqing and asked in a low voice: "Rent?"
"I bought it for one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Do you think it's worth it?"
He nodded, "It's worth it, but where did you get so much money?"
One hundred and fifty taels, even if you roll out sparks with a rolling pin, you can't make so much money.
"I earned it yesterday when I went out to help people catch ghosts." Shen Qingqing sniffed, "What does this smell like?"
"Oops, my food is burnt!" Mr. He slapped his thigh and hurriedly ran to the kitchen. This chapter has been completed!
