As soon as Xu Mengxiao came out of Duan Mansion, she heard the commotion outside. She didn't expect that buying a horse has become a grand event now.

Many people who had seen horses or even had carriages at home ran over to watch the fun.

Xu Mengxiao was also a little excited. She had been missing her family for the whole six days since she came to Fucheng. It was even more difficult for Lu Hai. Unlike her, she had done a lot of things. She just waited there and almost became a waiter. stone.

Fortunately, the wait is finally here!

Xu Mengxiao hurriedly ran over there. Thinking that she hadn't changed her clothes yet, she quickly turned around and changed back into her clothes, and then rushed to the livestock market as quickly as possible.

All kinds of livestock and poultry are sold in the livestock market, even the largest game trading market, which is a place specially set up by the government to distinguish it from other businesses.

A small piece of land was soon crowded with horse sellers, horse buyers, and spectators.

Lu Hai took advantage of his height and skill to cut through the crowd and waved out fifty taels of silver notes, "I want to buy a good horse to drive the carriage!"

"Good horses are not cheap. There are second-class prairie horses here. What do you think of this one? It has a strong body, thick coat, strong personality, and is easy to feed." One of the dealers introduced.

"No, I want a desert horse. Do you have any? Horses that can adapt to the desert will definitely be very durable." Lu He told him a lot, but Lu Hai only remembered this point, but it was still the most important thing.

If a desert-bred horse is used as a riding horse, it not only has strong endurance, but is also fast, flexible and can adapt to various terrain environments. Even if it is not a famous horse, it is enough for driving a carriage!

"This bay-red horse is just a desert horse. It has thin skin and fine hair, and a lively temperament." A big man next to him grinned, "But brother, I want this horse, so don't snatch it from me!"

The smile on Lu Hai's face disappeared instantly. Looking at it, there was no one similar to this horse!

"No, I want this one too. Boss, please give me a price!"

"You little brother, how can you rob me? If I don't tell you, you will treat any horse that the boss points to as a desert horse!"

"My boss is not stupid. Everyone is watching. I want to buy it first."

Xu Mengxiao squeezed into the crowd and finally found Lu Hai. She heard him arguing with a bearded man. She looked at the horse dealer who looked embarrassed and seemed to be in trouble.

"Boss, what do you think? Is there something wrong with this desert horse?"

"It's okay if you want this horse, but the price is not low. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it," the boss said.

"How much?" The big man just patted his chest, obviously well prepared.

"One hundred and twenty taels!"

"What?" Lu Hai and the big man exclaimed at the same time. The man who was buying other horses not far away also attracted attention, which was incredible.

"In the past, buying a desert horse like this only cost 40 or 50 taels, right?"

"Yes, even though horses are hard to buy now, it won't be tripled. Isn't this a case of being taken advantage of?"

The big man also became dissatisfied, "I have sixty taels here, boss, you can decide whether to sell it or not. I am a horse buyer and I know this horse is not worth the price."

Xu Mengxiao saw that the rough-skinned boss was relieved, "If you can't afford it, don't buy it. I won't sell it. You go and look at the other horses. The grassland horses are also good. Those horses are very big." , I eat all kinds of fodder, it’s very good to feed!”

"Boss, you're being unreasonable. You slipped the horse out but didn't sell it, and you paid such a deceptive price." The big man said angrily.

"If you have one hundred and twenty taels, I will sell it to you, otherwise don't talk about it and look at the others."

There are indeed very few people on the field who can spend so much money. Even if a big man does, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of, so he can only quickly pick other horses to avoid being robbed by others.

Even Lu Hai was speechless and wanted to give up. Xu Mengxiao said, "Boss, can you tell me why this desert horse is so expensive?"

The horse dealer didn't want to reply at first, but seeing that the person speaking was such a beautiful young girl, he was willing to answer, "If you want to buy it, I'll tell you if you take out one hundred and twenty taels."

This attitude seemed to be determined that she couldn't afford so much money, so he was teasing her like this.

Without hesitation, Xu Mengxiao took out two banknotes without hesitation, one hundred taels and twenty taels, "One hundred and twenty taels."

The boss was dumbfounded, and the others couldn't believe it, "There are really people who are willing to be slaughtered, how stupid they are!"

Lu Hai also hurriedly gave Xu Mengxiao a hand. This woman really makes money easily and doesn't know how to save money. "No, one hundred and twenty taels can buy two good horses. Let's go and see other things quickly." Bar."

In just a short time, five horses were sold, and the rest were picked up by others!

Xu Mengxiao also knew this, but she had an intuition that made her feel that this was not a loss-making business, otherwise the boss would not have changed his mind and not wanted to sell it.

"Here, I want this horse. Tell me why it's so expensive."

The boss looked stiff, and everyone else looked over curiously, wondering, is there really a reason?

The boss's younger brother gave him a shove and said, "Brother, sell it. We can't get that wild horse back."

The boss said to himself that if he had known that I would offer 200 taels or 500 taels, no one would be willing to buy it.

"It's like this. The reason why we are late this time is because we met a fine horse on the road. If it is that horse, it will start at at least two hundred taels, but I can't bear to sell such a horse!"

Xu Mengxiao interrupted him, "You also said it was a wild horse. I was very moved when I saw someone wearing gold and silver on the road. Can I go up and grab it?"

The boss glared, "Girl, is this a principle? Whoever can tame the wild horse will get it!"

Xu Mengxiao would not let him brag and then raise the price, "What about the horse? Did you trap it? Did you tame it?"

Several horse dealers suddenly blushed, but they still said plausibly, "We have just run out of medicine, otherwise we would never let that wild horse run away!"

"You actually use medicine to tame horses? This is not called horse taming, this is despicable means! If the horse is more aggressive and brought back like this, it will die of illness or even commit suicide in a short time!" Lu Hai said angrily.

Xu Mengxiao also looked down upon these people's methods of training horses, and the others even pointed fingers and criticized them, which made these dealers unable to argue.

"So what is the relationship between that wild horse and this desert horse? Why is it sold so expensive?" Xu Mengxiao didn't understand. There was a long history.

"It's not like that wild horse took a fancy to this desert mare and followed us all the way from the grassland without stopping. It followed us wherever we went. It was so infatuated with this mare that I bought this desert horse. It’s like getting that fine mustang!”

"I don't want to sell, but for this reason, one hundred and twenty taels is really too low..." There was a hint of regret in his tone.
