Chapter 0055 Wangchun Residence
Nie Ling'er nodded when he heard the words, and gently touched the head of the ox with his hand. The ox was wagging its tail and looking at Nie Ling'er with big eyes, but did not dodge at all.
He is really obedient and not afraid of people.
"Sister, this cow is stronger than the one at Erbo's house." Nie Xuan also touched it, then looked at Nie Ling'er and said.
Buying an animal depends on the feeling. This is true for cats and dogs, as well as cattle and horses, because after buying it home, it becomes a member of the family.
"Boss boss, how much money does this cow cost?" Nie Ling'er asked aloud.
The woman smiled slightly when she heard this and responded: "I see that you are dressed like farmers from the countryside, so I won't lie to you. If you really want to buy it, just give me eight taels of silver!"
The so-called lying is to raise the price to an artificially high level, because you will always negotiate the price when buying something, and then lower the price later.
But the boss lady shouldn't panic, which means she doesn't make much at this price, and Nie Ling'er doesn't have to lower the price anymore. It's a sincere price.
Nie Ling'er and Nie Xuan looked at each other, thinking that the shopkeeper just asked for twelve taels, and the woman in front of them was really many.
In this case, Nie Ling'er did not make any counteroffer. In fact, the main reason was that she liked the big ox and felt close to it.
If you like it, it’s worth the eighty taels of silver.
Nie Xuan paid the shopkeeper eight small silver ingots one tael each, and kept stroking the big ox happily until it narrowed its eyes.
"Sister-in-law, do you have horses here?" Nie Ling'er suddenly asked.
The landlady was slightly startled, as if she didn't expect that this girl would actually want to buy a horse.
After coming back to his senses, he had to shake his head: "This is a cowshed. There are no horses. If the girl still wants to buy a horse, walk more than 20 meters and you will see a horse barn called Liu's Horse House. Just say
Sister-in-law of the Feng family introduced me, and she will definitely give you a fair price."
Nie Ling'er nodded and thanked her, and together with Nie Xuan led the cow to the Liu family's stable.
Looking at the backs of the two people, the woman couldn't help but sigh softly, and said with a smile: It's true that people are not judged by their appearance.
"This is a Mongolian horse. It's very fast." The owner of the stable, the Liu family, was really enthusiastic when he heard that Nie Ling'er was introduced by the Feng family's sister-in-law.
This horse is not like a big ox plowing the fields, it is all about momentum.
Each and every one of them held out their beautiful long necks in a majestic manner, and occasionally let out two "bald rumbles" between their breaths, and they were all tense and majestic.
"And this one is from the Southern Territory. This is the horse that the Southern Territory cavalry rides on the battlefield. It is humane and very smart!" The store introduced another horse.
Nie Ling'er nodded clearly and looked at this horse from the southern region. It has a dark body and strong limbs. The mane on its neck and the hair on its tail are smooth and shiny. It looks like a good horse.

Compared with other horses in the stable, this horse is slightly smaller, but the store specifically said that this horse is very strong, not inferior to other types, and has sufficient tenacity. After all, it is a horse that goes to the battlefield.
.
The price is naturally more expensive than other horses.
The Mongolian horse asked for twenty-eight taels, and the Southern Region horse asked for a full forty taels!
However, Nie Ling'er still bought it, and the store owner was surprised and happy. He seemed to have never expected that someone dressed like Nie Ling'er would be able to spend forty taels to buy a good horse.
Immediately, he quickly equipped Nie Ling'er's horse with a saddle for free, and also gave him a series of things such as a horse brush and a muzzle for bathing the horse.
Finally, I did not forget to remind Nie Ling'er that the horse's feed should be very particular, and the fodder is divided into three, six, and nine grades, so Nie Ling'er must not be careless.
Then, Nie Ling'er led the cow, and Nie Xuan directly rode on the horse, and the two of them walked slowly to Tong's shop.
"Did you buy this?"
When Nie Yong saw the horse, his eyes brightened and he went up to touch it.
Nie Ling'er smiled and nodded. Looking at Brother Nie Yong's happy look, Nie Ling'er smiled knowingly.
In this era, horses are equal to cars. Boys love horses just like boys in later generations love cars.
"Brother Yong, what do you think? I wasn't deceived, right?" Nie Ling'er asked.
Nie Yong nodded repeatedly and said: "It's a good horse, isn't it cheap?"
"Forty taels!" Nie Ling'er said truthfully.
Nie Yong pursed his lips and nodded, sighing: "It is indeed worth this price. Horses are not as good as oxen, and the price itself is high."
Cows are a necessity for rural families, while horses are only for wealthy families.
One is used for work and the other is used for traveling. The nature is different.
"I want to order two sets of carts from Master Tong, an ox cart and a horse carriage." Nie Ling'er said.
Nie Yong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He looked at Nie Ling'er and asked, "Is it the kind of carriage with a shed?"
Nie Ling'er nodded. It was the kind of carriage Hou Yulang rode in. It had a nice shed to protect it from wind and rain.
"Okay, I'll tell Master Tong later and give you a cost price," Nie Yong said.
It was already approaching noon, the sky was dark and the air was stuffy, but there was still no rain.
Nie Ling'er greeted Nie Yong and said, "Brother Yong, I want to try a restaurant in town at noon. You can go with us."
"Going to a restaurant?" Nie Yong looked stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why do you suddenly want to go to a restaurant?"
Nie Ling'er thought for a while before speaking: "I just want to try the best restaurant in this town to see how the food tastes and whether it is as delicious as my cooking."
"Haha..." Nie Yong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly: "Ling'er, it's not that Brother Yong is complimenting you. Although Brother Yong has never been to those famous restaurants, he has grown so big.
I've been to restaurants a few times, and I can't believe that they're not as good as your craftsmanship. It's far behind!"
Nie Ling'er believes Nie Yong's words. She still has this confidence.
"So we won't go to those small restaurants. Today you take me to the best restaurant in town to have a taste." Nie Ling'er said.
Seeing that Nie Ling'er seemed serious, Nie Yong nodded: "Okay, then Brother Yong will benefit from you again today, and he will also eat Wangchunju in this town!"
Changling Town is a necessary place for transportation from north to south, and merchants come and go frequently, so there are many restaurants in this town, and business is never a worry.
The most famous among them is Wangchunju.
There are three bedrooms, six floors and twelve pavilions in Huaiyang area, which is a famous food sign, and Wangchun Ju in Changling Town is one of these three bedrooms!
Coming outside the Wangchun Residence, the antique buildings are very elegant, and there are exquisite carriages parked on the roadside. Most of the people who can come here to spend money are rich or noble, and some even live not far away for hundreds of miles.
Food diners who have traveled thousands of miles to try it all.
Nie Yong and Nie Xuan, who had never been to such a high-end restaurant, were a little nervous and their palms were sweating. They glanced at Nie Linger at the same time, only to see Nie Linger smile lightly and take the lead to walk in.
