Chapter 19 Making a Car and Buying a Mule

Xiao Lu Carpenter is a new little carpenter. He was an apprentice at the age of twelve and only started his education in eight years. The technical process is relatively long. Carpenters with the surname Lu like to talk to Lu Ban the most, just like Guan always likes to talk to Guan Yu, but in fact there is no connection between them.

The little carpenter got up early and opened the door, preparing to clean up and start the day's business. At this moment, two tall and mighty men came, and they were not someone else, but Wu Song and Luo Ping.

Wu Song clasped his fists and said, "Wu Song, can you customize a big car in your store?"

Carpenter Lu rubbed his hands happily and said, "It turned out to be Wu Baozheng. Come in quickly. Can I make a big cart? Are you going to pull people or carts?"

"Training goods and pulling goods, my car dealership is going to open, so it needs ten large carts." Wu Song introduced.

"If you can do it, you can do it, the wheels are ready-made. You just need to make a shelf. My carpenter shop is a professional cart shop and you can make one car a day." Carpenter Lu introduced.

Wu Song immediately took out a piece of paper, which wrote the detailed requirements of the vehicle. Carpenter Lu frowned and said, "There is no problem with the size designed by Wu Baozheng. It is just that the long queue is extended by one and a half feet, but it is not very useful. The long-distance cargo carrier usually transports goods from a cart for economical purposes, and the goods are only a thousand pounds. The main problem is that the friction between the shaft in the middle of the vehicle is large, which offsets part of the horsepower."

Wu Song said: "Carpenter Lu just follows the pictures and just makes the axle. I have my own arrangements. You can calculate the total price and I will pay you some money first."

Carpenter Lu calculated for a while and said, "According to Baozheng's requirements, it is much more expensive than ordinary racks, at least three silos per car."

Wu Song nodded: "No problem, just do it well. This is just a batch of land. There are more big trucks to do in the future."

Wu Song took twenty stags of money to pay the Lu Carpenter and left, leaving the Lu Carpenter smirking. The Lu Carpenter's wife came out and said, "The head of the family, the head of the family, what's wrong with you?"

"Twenty cents, our store has not sold so much money in a year since it opened. Ten big cars are busy. I go and call my brother and brother-in-law. We have to work hard." Carpenter Lu was so excited.

Luo Ping muttered: "Why is this big car so cheap? I only bought ten cars for only thirty cents of coins."

"You don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive. My brother Dalang has accumulated 60 guan in business for ten years. Each guan is hard to come by. Big trucks are just some wood processing. Except for wheels, some difficulty can be used by other employed workers. Three guan guan guan lun carpenters can still make a profit of hundreds of guan." Wu Song said.

After making the cart, the next step was to buy mules. Wu Song believed that he didn't know much about mules and did not dare to take action. He found a veterinarian. Liang Cheng was in his forties and was not good at talking, but he was very capable of first-hand veterinarians. He often used common herbs to treat diseases, and was good at acupuncture, delivery, hoof repair, and pig-knocking. Unfortunately, in the Northern Song Dynasty, when he valued literature and over military affairs, veterinarians were the lowest-class industry, and no one could take it seriously.

"Brother Liang, today I have 150 taels of silver on my side and I have a budget to buy eight mules." Wu Song said.

Liang Chengdao: "Qing Hippo City is a small place, but eight mules are no problem."

"Just rely on you to decide, you can buy whatever end you want." Wu Song said.

Wu Song, Liu Daniu, Luo Ping, and Lao Liang, and a group of four came to Qinghepo City. Horse City emphasized early morning. When they had breakfast, dozens of sellers came sparsely in the market, including professional dealers, as well as ordinary people's cows, horses, mules, and donkeys.

After looking around, Liang Cheng shook his head straight. There were too few mules, there were more than twenty horses, donkeys and oxen, but there were only more than ten mules.

Liu Daniu said: "Lao Liang, I think those dozens of mules are pretty good, why don't you take a look?"

Lao Liang smiled and said, "Those dozen mules are actually old people. They have been working too much after pulling carts all year round. They look pretty good because they have eaten and drunk food in the past month. They can't make a lot of effort when buying this kind of goods. Ordinary farmers can pull carts and work is fine, but the car is not available."

Lao Liang has become a sperm when he sees animals. Others can only judge the age of animals by looking at their teeth and hooves. He is better, just by looking at their expressions, he knows the age of animals.

Liang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly found eight mules coming from the corner, skinny and stinky ass hanging on his butt, which seemed to be diarrhea.

Lao Liang looked at the animal's tongue coating and eyelids, touched his stomach, and immediately asked, "My fellow villager, how much does all these eight mules cost."

This man is also a local big family. He ignored Lao Liang and looked at Wu Song and said, "I guess Erlang is going to buy a mule, but this mule is sick and dare not sell it to Erlang."

Wu Song said: "Although I, Wu Song, bought the mule today, are all owned by Lao Liang. Don't worry, I, Wu Song, are not a rogue. If I voluntarily bought your mule, there would be no reason to go back on my regret."

After careful discussion, the man said that this was a mule raised by his family the year before yesterday. He was less than three years old this year. It was the time to work, but who knew that he had diarrhea. After half a month, he found several veterinarians but still couldn't get better.

As the saying goes, wealth is rich, but furry doesn't count. This means that furry animals die when they say they die, and they cannot be considered property. This brother still sold them after touching them, so he rushed to the horse market this time, but he didn't expect to meet Wu Song. The brother was afraid that Wu Song would die after buying the mule, so he caused trouble and said that he would not dare to sell it to Wu Song.

Liang Cheng nodded to Wu Song: "We want these eight mules, how much do you think of them?"

"I dare not ask for more price for a sick mule, but I will be 8 guan per head." This person is very real. He is basically half discounted. If a fat mule is not 17 or 8 guan, you can't get it.

"Okay, let's go through the procedures now." Lao Liang said.

Liu Daniu kept winking at Wu Song. Wu Song pretended not to see it, and immediately went to go through the procedures with the farmer. Wu Song paid 800 cigarettes of taxes and paid the mule, and the mule belonged to him. The contract was also clearly written, and the mule was sick with diarrhea, and the victims were killed and injured.

After reading the contract, it turned out that this fellow villager was called Lu Zicao. When he read it in Shandong dialect, he was a local, from Lujiagou.

Brother Lu happily left after getting the money, and Liang Cheng led the mule out of the market.

Lao Liang asked: "Erlang, why do you believe me so much?"

"You have no doubt about employing people. You have been an old veterinarian for decades. Since you asked to buy, you must be right." Wu Song said.

"Okay, you can find a livestock pen to keep these eight mules and I will keep them for three days, and I will pack them up." Liang Chengdao.

Wu Song was overjoyed and immediately agreed. There were not many other places in Wujia Village, and there were a lot of open spaces. A temporary cattle shed was built on the east side of Wu Song's house, and Liang Cheng was responsible for raising mules.
