Yan Laoer chuckled and patiently coaxed several distressed old men.
It’s hard to feed a good horse, let alone a lame one.
At that time, the fight with Beirong was so intense that it was either you who died or I lived. Who could care about horses?
"Uncle Luo, I was wrong, okay? From now on, I will keep the old and lame ones... I will serve them with delicious food and drink. I will chew beans, eat malt candies and feed them concentrates. If I can sell them for ten taels, it is ten taels." Yan Laoer
Said with a playful smile.
Village Chief Luo glared at him angrily, then reacted and asked suspiciously: "Can it really only be sold for ten taels?"
The prince said publicly: "The difference is exactly this number, at most fifteen taels. The price difference between bad horses and good horses is huge. There is only one true thousand-mile horse. You may not be able to buy it for hundreds or even thousands of taels. It is rare to get a horse."
To get over a hundred taels, the middle horse also costs seventy or eighty taels of silver. The most common one is the dismounted horse, ranging from thirty to fifty taels. It depends on the age of the teeth, the frame, the legs and feet, the hoof shape... There is a lot to say here."
He deliberately spoke slowly so that everyone around him could hear him clearly.
"Then let's put it this way, we won't lose much." Lao Songtou was the shrewdest, and he quickly understood the account here. "It's so difficult to raise horses. If you really want to keep them and not sell them, how much money will it cost.
"
"No." Yan Laoer crackled and settled the accounts for everyone: "The lame one has to reshape his bones and raise it, and he may not be able to raise it back. If he can't raise it, the horse will be useless. It can't do work just by eating. We want it to do it.
What?" Naturally, let Gu Feng take it away as early as possible, so as to save fodder.
"I have inquired about it, Beirong is a thieves. When they opened the mutual market, the horses they sold to us were all gelded and we were not allowed to keep breeding. The horses they rode themselves were in good condition. Hey, those male horses
The horses looked good, and they were sold for a lot of money. There were also a few mares with cubs in them. They didn't look pregnant. Mr. Xue Qi wanted to trick me. How could that be possible? I touched each of them one by one.
The price of selling two and a half horses is a bet that a strong and energetic foal will be born."
Qi Si listened with rapt attention and asked stupidly: "What if the child is not strong? Do we have to pay for it?"
"What are you paying for?" Yan Laoer said confidently: "I'm willing to admit defeat. We didn't ask them to buy it. This is a bargain for them. If we want to go to the capital for Mara, the price will have to double."
"That is to say, horses are cheaper here in Guanzhou. Other big houses can't buy good horses even with their money." Yan Laoer said: "As I said before, let's let Mr. Xue bring the sale. It will save trouble for one thing and the other for the second time."
He sells them all to frontier troops in various places, and we accept them if they are cheaper."
"No less, no less." Uncle Hu said with a smile.
Hu Da took the money and returned it to his father. The old man smiled from ear to ear.
"Of the seventy-six horses in the village, the least is twenty-five, and most of them are sold for one hundred and twenty, not many, just the few top ones, the ones who don't slip away account for the majority, each horse is almost fifty or more
Bar."
What Yan Lao Er didn't say was that Mr. Xue Qi had done his best. He and the people who had dealt with him, Yan Lao Er, had all given some money. No matter how those people came back to report the accounts, he would definitely have such a large amount of money in his account.
We should share the wealth more. This means that everyone can make a fortune, and no one should be jealous.
Including the more than 4,000 taels of silver that I got, I took out two copies, one for every family, and one for the village.
Those who eat meat eat meat, and the rest also drink some soup.
Yan Laoer glanced at his daughter and received the money one by one. Everyone walking down the aisle felt weak, hey, what a good job!
He deliberately did not think about the fact that he and Mr. Xue Qi had settled the accounts, and when they came back, he grabbed his daughter and went back and forth to calculate the accounts five times.
He was like pancakes on the kang one night, and finally fell asleep, drooling all over the pillow. His wife said that he muttered more than four thousand and more than one thousand in his sleep...
The first one is the total amount, and the last one is the amount of money his family can get.
He even uses his hands and necks as silver to chew on...
The prince took a sip of water and pressed it.
He knew where the horses and cows in Xiaoan Village were obtained.
Mr. Xue Qi was not only the prince's cousin, but he had also generously come to give the prince two horses a while ago. At that time, he mentioned Xiao'an Village, which sounded familiar to him, so he paid attention to it.
Later, the waiter came to deliver pancakes. When he asked, it turned out to be Xiao'an Village where the Yan family was located.
In the huge Yongning City, Xiao'an Village is not the only place where people from Qishan Prefecture have fellow villagers. Why is he willing to interact with them? At first, it was Yan Er who came to trouble, and the waiter was lovable. The more he got in touch with him, the more he felt that this family was like this.
The villagers are down-to-earth.
Listen to what these people are saying.
This said I need to buy a few more large tanks and put them in the yard to store water, pickle vegetables, and, yes, freeze meat.
Let's discuss it with my wife, let's buy a pig together with my brother's family during the Chinese New Year, pick the fatter one, boil it in lard, and save it so that our two families can eat it for a year. We can keep the meat and bones for ourselves, can we eat it?
The old man coyly said that he didn't want to take out, and wanted to stay with the two families to eat. The big pig's head was arranged and offered to his father, so that the old man could eat something good there...
Another person said that he wanted to buy a fishing net. He said that borrowing the Yan family's fishing net to catch fish in the summer is really exciting. Now that we have money, we will buy one for our own family. From now on, we will go fishing every day and eat too much to dry the fish, just like the Yan family.
Like, the sun is shining all over the yard...
Oh, there is another one who is more ambitious, saying that he wants to build a good house, using blue bricks on the outside and red bricks on the inside. The key point is to use mortar to build a cesspit and splash it in the vegetable field, and the vegetables will grow long.
OK!
The prince's ears were full of these simple and innocent "wishes".
Listening and listening, the prince and his father-in-law slowly joined in, discussing with everyone what should be added to the house.
As soon as the money from selling the horses was distributed, the cattle and sheep were divided up.
The atmosphere is more lively.
Your family came to my family, and my family came to his family. There was a surge of people, and they wished they could grow another mouth immediately.
Yan Laoer became the most popular hotpot.
The whole thing was pushed away.
"Yan Er, your family must be the first one. You choose a bull or a cow? I have as many as I can..."
"Brother Yan, if you give me a lot of points, will I win?"
"Yan Er..."
"Yan Er..."
Even Mrs. Tian was affected and clenched her fists nervously.
Even though you can get a lot of money from selling horses, compared with working with cattle and sheep, the feeling is still different.
Farmers value livestock, especially cattle.
"Dad, come here and help!" Yan Yu shouted.
Yan Laoer quickly rushed out from the crowd.
"Dad, I remember, you help me calculate the score." Yan Yu made her father's arrangements clear.
"middle!"
Yan Laoer cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me first!"
On the second floor of the bamboo stove, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to bring a pony up. There were too many people down there, so it was not appropriate for him to stick his head out and let people see him. It would be better to sit down and listen.
Good guy, I didn't know what was going on next door just now, it was like a pot of water was boiling.
