Chapter 67 - A good horse and a female
"If you have something to say, just say it, it'll be fine." Chi Zhongtian felt a little impatient when he saw the waiter's appearance.
The clerk then raised his head and said: "Sir, this female horse is very precious. We will not let it stay here. If you are sure you want it, please pay a deposit first, and then we will help you bring the horse."
, then if you are satisfied, you can pay the rest of the money. If you are not satisfied, then we will keep 40% of the deposit." "What do you mean, you have to pay first before you see the goods!
"Before Chi Zhongtian could say anything, Aoshuangxue couldn't help it.
Chi Zhongtian also felt that it was a bit unreasonable. You said that horses are precious and it is understandable to pay a deposit. However, if you are not satisfied after viewing, you should return the deposit in full. It is really unreasonable to leave 40%.
The waiter continued: "Young lady, you don't know. This eel and mare is extremely precious. We usually can't bear to let it come to this messy place. We keep it in a very clean place and eat only the best beans every day."
Stir-fried with astragalus, take it out three times a day, have someone to look after it, and..."
"Okay, okay, buddy, just make it clear. If you want to see a horse, you must pay a deposit. If you don't buy it in the end, you will have to pay 40% of the deposit, right?" Chi Zhongtian interrupted extremely impatiently.
The guy talks a lot.
"Oh, sir, there's nothing I can do about it. The young one is also working with others. It's not my idea. The boss told me this, so I can only do it."
Hearing what the clerk said, Aoshuangxue said to Chi Zhongtian: "Brother Tian, let's go somewhere else and look. There are so many horses for sale here! You don't have to buy them here, let's go!" After that,
Regardless of Chi Zhongtian's reaction, he pulled Chi Zhongtian and walked elsewhere.
The two visited several places selling horses. There were many different types of horses, but without exception. Every time Chi Zhongtian went to a place, he always asked people if they had any horses. If they were told that there were no horses, then Chi Zhongtian
Tian turned around and left. Just like that, the two of them wandered around for a long time, but they didn't encounter a house with a wild horse. The two of them were really tired from shopping, so they looked around and there happened to be a small place where they could rest temporarily.
At the tea shed, the two decided to have a cup of tea and take a rest.
The smell of horse-selling places is always unpleasant, and the smell of horses is very strong, but fortunately, Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue are not pampered people, so although they feel uncomfortable, they can always bear it.
Chi Zhongtian casually ordered a pot of tea, and soon the waiter brought it over.
Ao Shuangxue picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and then asked: "Brother Tian, I think those horses are very beautiful, why do you always look for those... horses..." Ao Shuangxue obviously didn't
Remember the name of the horse that Chi Zhongtian mentioned just now.
"Fairy!" Chi Zhongtian said to Ao Shuangxue angrily.
"Yes, that's right, why do you insist on that kind of horse? Is that horse good?"
"Of course, if it's not good, why should I do it?"
Then tell me what's so special about that horse!" Aoshuangxue seemed very interested.
Chi Zhongtian was obviously thirsty and drank three cups of tea in one breath.
Hearing Aoshuangxue ask himself, Chi Zhongtian said: "The Taoist mare is my famous horse in China. This kind of horse has two characteristics. One is that it is extremely loyal to its owner, and the other is that it is very cold-resistant. We will always come back in the future.
When we go to Beiming Mountain, it’s often cold there. You see, we don’t even raise a few horses in the valley. In fact, I’ve wanted to raise a few horses for a long time, but because ordinary horses can’t withstand the cold, I can’t raise them. But the pheasants are special.
They are cold-resistant. The former poet Du Fu once wrote a poem that said, "There are three thousand pheasants in the garden, and the grass is abundant and green, and they will not die in the cold." This refers to equine horses."
"Oh, let me tell you, that's it." Aoshuangxue nodded as if she suddenly realized something.
"In that case, why don't we just go to the place where we were and ask again, and at the worst we can just give him a deposit. What are we afraid of? Brother Tian, when did you become so stingy?" Ao Shuangxue continued.
"It's not stingy, it's just that our current expenses are limited, so we can spend less if we can. Besides, who knows how much deposit he wants me to pay. What if it's too much and we can't afford it?
It’s not too embarrassing.”
"It's just about saving face. You can just ask me if you don't ask me." Ao Shuangxue knows this senior brother very well. He is good at everything, but one thing is that he needs face too much. When he was in the valley, he often had to argue over trivial matters.
's world turned upside down.
"Okay, then go and ask." Upon hearing this, Chi Zhongtian immediately showed his true colors.
"Tsk!" Aoshuangxue gave Chi Zhongtian a helpless look, then got up and walked towards the place where the mares were sold.
Seeing that Aoshuangxue was gone, Chi Zhongtian laughed evilly, and then asked the waiter to bring another pot of tea.
Not long after, Aoshuangxue came back.
Seeing Ao Shuangxue back, Chi Zhongtian quickly asked: "How is it? How much do you want?"
Aoshuangxue said: "The deposit requires five taels of silver!"
"Ah? Five taels of silver?" Chi Zhongtian asked with some disbelief.
"Yes, it's just five taels of silver."
"Haha, don't be afraid. I thought how much it would cost! Let's go and see the horses!" Chi Zhongtian was relieved when he heard that it only cost five taels of silver. What Mrs. Jin gave was enough for each person.
Fifty taels of large gold ingots. You must know that fifty taels of gold is equivalent to four hundred taels of silver. In other words, Chi Zhongtian now has a total of 800 taels of silver. Although he is not rich, he
At least it's not poor anymore.
Seeing Chi Zhongtian's appearance, Ao Shuangxue was both funny and irritated. What made him angry was that Chi Zhongtian looked like a young hero now, and he clearly felt like a villain. What made him laugh was whether Chi Zhongtian was still the same person.
Young people, their frank nature is fully revealed at this moment.
When the guy just saw Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue coming over again, he immediately greeted them with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "How are you two? There are no roosters in other places. I told you, ours is here."
Horses are the best here!”
Chi Zhongtian didn't want to listen to his bragging and said bluntly: "Go get the horse!"
As soon as the waiter heard this, he quickly said: "Okay, okay, I will arrange it for you right now. The deposit... you see..."
Chi Zhongtian glanced at the clerk, then took out a gold ingot, put it in the clerk's hand, and said: "Change!"
The man looked down at the gold in his hand and was shocked. Although he was not sure, he weighed it and found that it was at least fifty taels: "Sir...you...see if you have any pieces."
silver..."
"Which one of these two do you want?" After saying that, Chi Zhongtian took out the remaining gold ingot from his arms.
"Ahem, okay, okay, if this is the case, you don't have to pay a deposit, we will arrange for someone to bring the horse for you!" When the boy saw that Chi Zhongtian had fifty taels of gold at his disposal, he
It was repayable, so the clerk regarded Chi Zhongtian as a rich man. Rich people always have a good time buying things. Besides, they can get hundreds of miles of silver when they sell, so why should they care about a few taels of down payment?
In fact, Chi Zhongtian is not showing off that he is rich, but Chi Zhongtian still doesn’t understand money very thoroughly. In his opinion, money is used to buy things, and there is nothing to hide.
