The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Soon Yan Er Er got the chance to go to the town again.

The villagers were so moved by Mr. Xiucai's behavior that they decided to gather together to see if they could buy one or two more animals.

Mr. Xiucai is right, if you can travel and eat, you should buy reserve grain.

Village head Luo trotted all the way to Yan's house with the money raised by the whole village, followed by young students who wanted to go with him.

Yan Laoer started to set up the car without saying a word.

The eldest son of the village chief, Boss Luo, and his grandchildren San Tie, Cui Langzhong and his big dog, Qi Si, and Wang Erlang, all of whom would get off the handlebars in the village, all went with them.

When I arrived at the cattle and horse dealer in the town, the market changed again. There were more people selling cattle, and the price was lower.

A few days ago, mules cost seven taels of silver, but today they cost six taels of silver, and donkeys dropped from three taels to two taels of silver.

This is still the price of the car, which can be described as a tearful sale.

Yan Huaiwen gave fifteen taels to the village, and each family added six taels.

These people's fingers were almost broken, and they didn't know how many donkeys they could buy with the money spent on two mules.

Second Yan: ...

He really couldn't bear it, so he went over to bargain with the two mule sellers.

"You are all donkeys and mules, not horse mules, how dare you ask for six taels, five taels is about the same.

I look at my teeth.

The hoof is also raised and I have a look.

This won't work, well, your mule is not young, how many years can you work?

Don't let me buy it back and serve it with delicious food and drink. It fell down within two years.

Give less? No less, I'll go and see the donkey. "

He went to someone selling donkeys again, and he output another meal:

"Look at this skinny donkey, grab it, let me touch its stomach, don't grow anything bad.

Tooth, yes, break it open for me to see.

Whoa! This little car is from your ancestors, right? How many generations has it been passed down? Too old too, stop falling apart.

Your donkey is losing hair, is it sick? How dare you ask for two two six? One, two, five, I will take away and eat meat..."

Let him harass those who sell mules and donkeys in the entire cattle and horse dealership.

If you are popular, you can bargain as long as you say, so why pay it blindly.

Cui Langzhong thought of Yan Laoer's hoof repairing skills, and suddenly realized, tell me, aren't these people stupid, let a sensible person not ask.

Mr. Yan can repair hooves, so he must have dealt with these animals more than them.

"Brother Yan Er, come and help me do the sums." He waved at Yan Er Er.

Yan Laoer turned around and asked, "What do you think? What do you want to buy?"

"I heard people say that mules can pull things better than donkeys, and the mule cart is bigger. We want to buy two mules." Wang Erlang said.

"I want to buy a donkey with the rest of the money after buying the mule." Luo Lao said.

Yan Laoer nodded: "Well, give me all the money, and I will buy it for you."

A few people, you look at me, and I look at you.

Boss Luo was cruel, and handed him the tightly wrapped money.

Don't worry, Yan Laoer will follow him, because the Xiucai Gong takes the lead here.

Then everyone saw Yan Laoer walking freely in the cattle and horses, just like his own home.

After looking here and there, two mules were quickly settled.

One head is six two one, the other is five two eight.

Then there are four donkeys, two two three, two two one five, two two two, one two five...

That's right, he also bought the diseased donkey that lost its hair.

The few people didn't say anything, and they were madly calculating the accounts in their hearts. The one they bought earlier must be a good deal, but they don't know how much meat they can get out of killing the sick donkey.

After buying two mules and four donkeys, there were still some leftovers.

Yan Lao Er weighed the remaining nine cents of silver and said, "Let's go."

When they were leading the mule and the donkey, several people suddenly realized that they had to count the kid, Da Gouzi, before they would be enough.

Yan Laoer bought grain with the money that Lao Yan gave him, and went to buy saltpeter, and spent the rest of the money at the meat stall.

Those few people followed him to buy, buy, buy, and didn't say much.

If there is no Yan Lao Er, the purchase will not be so smooth, nor will it be so cheap.

How embarrassed to care about the remaining few cents of silver.

Unexpectedly, at the village head, Yan Lao Er took the initiative to mention it.

"Let me do the math for you. Two mules cost eleven taels, and four donkeys cost eight taels. One and five cents. We have a total of twenty one taels. Twenty and five cents are gone, leaving nine and a half cents of silver."

"The more than nine cents of silver is just for the treatment of the shedding donkey, and it's not a big deal.

Mix saltpeter with lard to make an ointment, and smear it two or three times.

Saltpeter cost five cents, this lard...is really hard to calculate, if you buy less fat meat, it’s not enough, so if my family bought lean meat, the fat meat will be counted as four and five cents, do you think it’s okay? "

"Second Uncle Yan, then you are at a loss. Fat meat is more expensive than lean meat." San Tie immediately helped, seeing how well Yan's second son was doing in the town, saving them two donkeys.

Qi Si: "Second brother Yan, the sick donkey only cost one or two five dollars. If the ointment works, it will save at least six coins. We took advantage of you."

"Let's go back and make it together..." Wang Erlang said honestly.

Boss Luo also nodded, "Yes, go back and make up for it, 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 want you to keep this account for you, so that no one will ask you if you can’t explain clearly. The money was pooled by various families in the village, and the animals bought were shared by everyone. The account must be accounted for. "

Cui Langzhong couldn't stop nodding, and said: "We need to let everyone know, if there were no brothers Yan, we wouldn't be able to buy it so cheaply.

Also, Brother Yan, you are so quick to settle accounts, amazing! "

Several people also praised him, and the second Yan who praised him was embarrassed.

What is this, it is at the level of elementary school students.

...

There were mules and donkeys in the village. All the people in the village, old and young, did not go home at night. They lit torches and looked at these animals in awe as they ground the wheat instead.

Santie is the most lively, how do they go to the cattle and horse shop, what is the cattle and horse shop like, how powerful is his Second Uncle Yan, the price is pressed again and again, and with 21 taels, he brought back six animals!

The villagers were stunned when they heard this. Is this Yan's second child?

So capable?

Yan Laoer, who is capable, is anointing the shedding donkey with ointment.

"Father! Here you go, try whether it's sweet or not." Yan Yu handed over a piece of roasted sweet potato.

"Who baked it?" Yan Laoer swallowed when he smelled it.

"Mother said it's fine to throw it in the stove, so I'll throw two in." Yan Yu said: "The one is divided between uncle, brother, and sister, and we share this one."

Second Yan took a bite of 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?"

"Mother took the eldest sister to wipe it with coarse salt, and said that it would hang up to dry later, hee hee!"

"How is your eldest sister?"

"It looks like it's all right, but mother said to let me sleep with big sister today."

"No one went to our house, right?"

"Don't worry, Dad, we've been walking outside all day, and the door lock is still locked."

"I agreed with Qi Si to let his brother help to build a carport. The wheat in the village is coarsely ground very quickly, and I don't know if there will be time."

It's out again during the day ~ so it's later again, quack!

I don’t know what you think of the writing, and you don’t tell me about it, it makes me think about it every day, and I can’t sleep well~

Just Lai Nai~~~~o(╥﹏╥)o
