The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

  Chapter 29 Yan's second son's ability

   Soon Yan's second son got the chance to go to the town again.

  The villagers were so touched by Mr. Xiucai's behavior that they decided to join forces to see if they could buy another animal or two.

  Xiu Caigong is right, if you can travel and eat, you should buy food reserves.

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

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

  The elder son of the village chief, Boss Luo, and his grandson San Tie, Cui Langzhong and his family's big dog, Qi Si and Wang Erlang, all of them went with the village's two car handles.

  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 bringing a car, which can be described as a tearful sale.

  Yan Huaiwen gave fifteen taels to the village, and each family made up another six taels.

  The fingers of these individuals are almost broken, and they don’t know how many donkeys they can buy with the money spent on two mules.

  Yan’s second child: …

  He really couldn't bear it, so he went 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 hooves also lifted up and I took 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 output another meal:

  "Looking at the skinny donkey, I grabbed it, and I stroked its belly, don't grow anything bad.

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

   Whoo! 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 shedding 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 the mules and donkeys in the entire cattle and horse dealership.

   If you are popular, you can make a counter-offer if you say so.

  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.

  Yan's second hoof can be repaired, and he must have more dealings with these animals than them.

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

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

   "I heard 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 money left over from selling the mule." Luo Lao said.

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

   Several 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 Lao Er will follow him, because the scholar has taken the lead here.

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

  He went east and west, and quickly settled on two mules.

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

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

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

   A few people didn’t say anything, they were madly calculating in their hearts, the one bought earlier must be a good deal, and they don’t know how much meat can be produced by killing the sick donkey.

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

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

  While leading the mule and the donkey, several people suddenly realized that they had to count the kid, Da Gouzi, in order to be enough.

  Yan Lao Er bought grain with the money given by Lao Yan, and went to buy saltpeter. The rest of the money was spent at the meat stall.

  The 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, and it will not be so cheap.

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

   Unexpectedly, the second son of the village brought it up.

   "Let me do the math for you. Two mules cost eleven taels and nine taels, and four donkeys cost eight taels. One and five cents. Our total is twenty-one taels. Twenty-two and five cents are left, leaving five cents."

  “These five cents are just for the cured donkey that shed its hair, and it is not a big deal.

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

  Saltpeter cost three cents of silver, 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 two cents, do you think it’s okay? "

   "Second Uncle Yan, then you are not at a loss. Fat meat is more expensive than lean meat." San Tie immediately helped, seeing how well Yan's second son can get along 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 things up again..." Wang Erlang said honestly.

   Boss Luo also nodded, "Yes, go back and make up, I can't let you suffer."

  Yan’s second child can’t laugh or cry: “I’m not at a loss, our family loves to eat lean meat.

   Also, I set the account for you, I want you to keep it in mind, so that no one will ask you and you can’t explain clearly. The money was pooled by various families in the village, and the animals bought were shared by everyone, so the account must be accounted for. "

   Cui Langzhong couldn't help nodding, and said: "Every family must know, if there is no second brother Yan, we can't buy it so cheap.

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

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

  What is this? It's only at the level of elementary school students.

  …

  Mules and donkeys were added to 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 instead of grinding wheat.

  Three irons are the most lively, how do they go to the cattle and horses, what is the cattle and horses like, how powerful is his Second Uncle Yan, the price is pressed again and again, and with 21 taels, they bring back six animals!

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

  So capable?

  The capable Yan Laoer is anointing the shedding donkey.

   "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."

  Yan Er Er took a bite of her daughter's hand.

   His eyes lit up, and he praised: "It's so sweet!"

   "By the way, what about 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 seems to be fine, 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 ask his brother to help build a carport. The wheat in the village is coarsely ground very quickly, and I don't know if there will be enough time."

   Going out again during the day ~ so it's even later, 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
