Chapter 74 The background is incredible
"Is your cow a sick cow?" Stone circled the cow lying on the ground, pretending to be mature, "My ancestors were veterinarians, you can't lie to me."
I have seen this kind of middle-aged buyer pretending to be very experienced so often that I can tell at a glance that Shi Shi is not confident enough.
"Guest, please don't talk nonsense. My cow is fine." The middle-aged man explained, "Yesterday, the cow's leg was accidentally strained while hauling heavy goods. I just saw a doctor and it will be healed in two days." ”
Shitou curled his lips to express disbelief, "Where is the injury? Why didn't I see it?"
The middle-aged man pointed to the cow leg, "The doctor said that the injury is in the flesh and cannot be seen from the outside."
Shitou came closer to take a closer look suspiciously, even touched it with his hand, and then nodded seriously, "The injury is indeed inside the flesh. I can feel this kind of injury with just a touch."
The corner of the boy's eyes twitched, "Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand. If you just follow the boss's words, why don't you trick you to death?"
The middle-aged man was indeed more and more certain that Shi Shi was pretending to be mature, but was actually a little kid who didn't understand anything.
He cleared his throat and said, "I bought this cow for ten taels. If you buy it sincerely, if you add another three taels, I will sell the matching ox cart half and give it to you."
Guy: Good guy, my boss doesn’t intend to lose money at all.
"Are you fooling us?" Xiaohuan glared at the middle-aged man and said to Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing, "Master, Madam, a cow in the East Market only sells for six taels, and including the bullock cart only costs eight taels. He will sell us I’m being taken advantage of, so let’s go to Dongshi to buy it.”
"I hate liars." Shang Wan looked at Lu Chengjing and said softly, "Mr., don't come here anymore when your family rents a car."
Lu Chengjing glanced at the middle-aged man, nodded to Shang Wan, smiled dotingly, "I listen to my wife."
Shang Wan smiled coquettishly on her face, but she was thinking in her heart that she would have to make her fox smile like this a few more times when she goes back.
Xiaohuan immediately called Shitou, "What are you still waiting for? Let's go!"
"Here we come." Shitou walked over immediately.
As soon as the middle-aged man saw that the duck was about to fly, he hurriedly stopped the person, "Wait a minute! Master, the price I just mentioned was the price I bought it for. If you buy it sincerely, I can give you a discount. "
Lu Chengjing did not look back.
The middle-aged man winked at the waiter, who immediately ran over and opened his arms to block the four of them.
"You still want to buy and sell by force?" Shitou took a step forward and glared at the man with an imposing manner, "You don't even want to know who my young master is. If you dare to touch a hair of my young master, tomorrow the government will Neng came to copy the carriage and horse shop."
When the clerk heard that this was a serious matter, he secretly looked at Lu Chengjing. He looked like a fairy, and the young lady next to him also had a very outstanding appearance and temperament, which ordinary people would definitely not be able to raise.
He looked at his boss, could he stop him?
The middle-aged man also felt a little nervous. This all involves the government. Is he not a relative of the prefect?
Shitou shouted at the waiter: "Still don't get out of the way!"
"Little brother, calm down and tell me what you have to say." After weighing the matter, the middle-aged man ran forward and bowed his hands to Lu Chengjing, "Just now, the villain has blind eyes and neglected the young master. Don't be upset, young master and madam. The price of this bullock cart is easy to negotiate.”
"Ms. sir, let's go." Shang Wan looked sideways at the middle-aged man, deliberately criticizing him, "He doesn't look like a good person at first glance."
Lu Chengjing said, "It's all my lady's fault." He looked so lustful that he fainted.
The middle-aged man secretly sighed several times. He listened to his wife in everything. He was really not a man!
On his face, he smiled apologetically, "Madam, you are joking. A villain is the most honest person and everyone in the neighborhood knows it. I wonder what Madam bought this cow for?"
"Why don't you just buy it to eat..." In the middle of the sentence, Shang Wan hurriedly covered his mouth, a look of annoyance on his brows.
What a fine middle-aged man. It turned out that he bought cows to eat, so he really had to find a high-sounding excuse.
This dynasty severely punished those who killed cattle privately.
According to the law, those who intentionally kill other people's horses and cattle will be punished with seventy canes and one and a half years in prison; those who kill their own horses and cattle privately will be punished with one hundred canes; those who do not report the injuries and deaths of farm cattle to the government, and those who strip them without permission will be punished with forty whippings.
The middle-aged man guessed that Shang Wan was greedy for beef, but he couldn't buy it openly and kill it, so he used a roundabout way of buying an oxcart.
Originally, he was worried that selling the sick cow to Shang Wan would cause trouble, but now he felt relieved knowing that the two were buying it for food.
He took a closer look at Lu Chengjing's appearance and found that it was indeed a secondary appearance. The wheelchair is also made of excellent materials, and it would cost three to four hundred taels of silver no matter how much it was placed in a carpentry workshop.
The sleeping doll is cute and cute, and is wearing silk and satin. It looks like it was raised by a wealthy family.
After thinking about it for a while, the middle-aged man showed a flattering smile on his face and said, "If the young master and his wife sincerely buy it, I will give you a lower price, how about sixty taels?"
Xiaohuan pouted, "They are also sold in the East Market for six taels, and they are still healthy cows."
"Girl, there are so many people in Dongshi and they have so many mouths. How can I get around easily?" The middle-aged man smiled meaningfully, "I have the strictest mouth."
Shang Wan glanced at him, leaned over and whispered into Lu Chengjing's ear.
Lu Cheng nodded, grabbed her hand and played with it carefully, as if he didn't care about anything.
The middle-aged man felt more and more contempt in his heart, but looking at Shang Wan's appearance, he felt that if he married such a fairy-like daughter-in-law, she would be pampered and supported by her.
That wife in his family was so cruel, how could this lady be so soft-spoken and caressing?
Shang Wan said: "You know whether this cow is a sick cow or not. Including the frame, the total is five taels of silver. If you are willing to sell it, we will return to Fucheng in two days. There are a lot of things and we will have to rent a few dollars." All carriages will be rented from your horse and carriage shop."
The middle-aged man calculated in his mind that renting an oxcart in the past two months would help him earn some money. Counting the five taels given by Shang Wan, he could almost keep his capital.
If you really can do this carriage rental business, you won't lose money if you sell it for five taels.
After making up his mind, the middle-aged man sighed, "Oh, five taels of silver is really a loss. The villain's horse and carriage shop is also a small business. It's hard to do business now..."
Shang Wan interrupted him, "I can sign a contract with you. In two days, I will definitely send someone to the horse and carriage shop to rent a carriage."
This was what the middle-aged man was waiting for. After saying a few nice words, he agreed, drew up a contract, and signed it.
Lu Chengjing had read the contract. The general terms of the terms were that once the agreed date came, no matter whether someone came to the carriage house to rent the carriage or not, the rented money must be paid, otherwise the government would enforce it.
His eyes darkened slightly as he watched Shang Wan take out a square seal, stamp it on the contract, and hand it to the middle-aged man, "At that time, go to the Lu family in the north of the city to get the money."
