Madame Bovary Reborn

Emma had already made up her mind about buying horses. She wanted to ask Mr. Rafa to help him choose some horses when he returned to Tot.Anna went back and mentioned to her husband, good fellow, there is no such a coincidence anymore, isn't Mr. Rafa working in the Rouen horse shop?Usually, they always select a large number of strong and good seeds in the countryside and send them to the city, and then have the technicians personally select them. In order to protect the reputation of the store, they are naturally cautious and cautious, wishing they could be so harsh as to choose one in a million. So every time there are some horses that are not selected, although they are not bad.The freight was not cheap, so I didn't bother to drive them back to the countryside. In the end, these unselected horses were either sent to the free market to sell, or were used by the shopkeeper to offset the debt.

Mr. Rafa was also a fine person in Rouen, but he trusted his wife's vision and knew that the neighbor next door was a good friend, so he took extra care.He was able to get such two horses for Madame Bovary, except that it would be more expensive to transport them back to Toth, but the reserve price was much cheaper than the market.Go and find out, why don't the good horses that pull the cart cost five or six hundred francs apiece.And Emma has figured out the market price a long time ago, knowing that buying a horse at 160 francs is a great deal. Although it is left over from a big car dealership, the supply in the market is still in short supply. As for the shipping cost, she has already thought about it. found a solution.Emma asked for three horses, and Mr. Rafa was a little surprised. When he saw the carriage of the Bovary family, he no longer had any doubts.Although it was two horses that were communicated with the outside in advance, adding another horse was not a big deal, and Mr. Rafa took care of it with ease.Emma knew that she couldn't ask someone to do things for nothing, so she sealed [-] francs directly to him, and by the way, she settled the matter of transporting the horses by herself.After agreeing on a time to pick up the horse, Emma declined Anna's offer to keep her for dinner, and went back directly.The husband and wife get together once a week, so how could she bother her.

Anna was full of praise for her good friend. Mr. Rafa was a little unimpressed at first, but now she seems to be a sensible woman. She does things cleanly and spends a lot of money.It's just that men are usually involved in such matters. Mr. Rafa felt a little strange. Anna seemed to understand her husband's doubts, and said with a smile: "Doctors usually only go out and treat patients, and Emma manages the family affairs." Rafa The husband nodded. It's not surprising. There are often such people who focus on academics and research. He thinks of Mr. Bovary as an unworldly expert, just to take advantage of Emma's thoughts.For a long time, she has also painstakingly wanted to shape Charles into such an image, and even made a plan to send Charles to Rouen Medical School for further studies.

Emma sent a letter to the Grange asking Teresa to send three of her servants to Rouen to fetch the horses and, by the way, to hire a coachman.It is not an easy task to control the three horses, and they also need to be fed and cleaned. It is best to find a skilled veteran who knows everything in the farm.Two days later, Pardo came to Toth and called the lady back, saying that everything was ready according to her order, waiting for the men to pick up the horses, and the coachman Marshall would also come here, and the lady hoped that the lady would settle his board and lodging. The problem is, as for the salary, it is still paid by the farm.Emma nodded, and asked Louise to clean the doctor's original small consulting room, and then went to the second-hand market to buy an old bed and a set of tables and chairs. There is a simple wardrobe in the storage room, which can be used directly can.Put on new light green curtains and snow-white sheets, find Mr. Bovary's original velvet quilt and lay it out, and rearrange a room neatly.The consultation room was originally connected to the garden, and it was also very close to the newly built stables. It was convenient for Marshall to live here when he wanted to feed the horses at night.

Pardo mainly came here to report on the winemaking and harvest situation. Although Carla and Louise gave a general overview of the situation this year, for example, 180 barrels were brewed, [-] barrels were ready to be brewed for five years, and ten barrels were going to be brewed for ten years. There are [-] barrels left for one year's brewing, etc. Emma is still very concerned about the yield rate and the profit of the [-] barrels released this year.Pardo smiled and said, "We didn't go to Rouen. Sir York took us to the neighboring province. Although it was a little farther away, the price was much higher. We sold it for [-] francs a barrel, which is [-] francs." Six hundred francs, according to the market price, excluding raw materials, labor and materials, the net profit is about [-] francs, which will be divided into [-] francs for Sir York, and [-] francs for the Grange. Fifteen hundred francs, here is nine hundred francs." Emma nodded, took out a fifty-franc note and handed it to Pardo, and said with a smile: "Thank you." She paused: "It seems We will brew more next year, which is much more cost-effective than farming." But Pardo said: "Sir York said that selling wine is better than farming, because the longer the brewing time is to raise the price, the better. It’s not worthwhile to wait to use the money.” Emma thought for a while, and said with a smile: “Well, that’s the same reason, you stay here overnight.” Seeing the smile on Pardo’s face, she couldn’t hide it , Emma also smiled.
