He quickly said: "Miss Qiao will take our Wu family's carriage back later. Let's go together."
Qiao Huaping came to the county mainly to sell pills. Secondly, she also wanted to go to the carriage and horse shop to see the county's carriage and horse market.
She often comes to the county and always has to wait a long time on the road for a ride, which is a bit troublesome.
When planning the courtyard previously, Qiao Huaping had already reserved the location of the stables.
In the past two days, at her request, the craftsmen have built stables so that horses can be raised.
If nothing happens this time, she wants to buy a horse and go back.
Qiao Huaping also said simply: "I want to buy something in the county. It may take half an hour. Otherwise, Master Wu -"
Wu Yourong immediately answered: "It doesn't matter. It only takes half an hour."
He was afraid that Qiao Huaping would think he was too attentive, so he quickly added: "Young lady, go and do your own business. I still need to read some account books at the Good Doctor Hall."
Qiao Huaping nodded and said goodbye.
Wu Yourong sat down refreshed. As soon as he took a sip of tea, he was surprised by the stack of account books brought by Uncle Kun: "Uncle Kun, you..."
Uncle Kun looked very comforted: "The third young master is so concerned about the family business. The old master, the master, the eldest young master and the second young master will definitely be very happy if they know about it."
Wu Yourong: "..."
He was just making an excuse casually, why did Uncle Kun take it so seriously!
But once the words were spoken, he could not swallow them back.
Wu Yourong had no choice but to sigh resignedly, picked up the account book, and read it carefully.
Speaking of this, Qiao Huaping inquired at the horse and carriage shop and found out that the price of the horse had doubled this year.
After all, we are at war, so we can understand.
That is, an ordinary horse costs forty taels of silver, which is really too expensive.
Qiao Huaping frowned slightly. It was not that she had no money, but she didn't really want to pay double the money.
Seeing Qiao Huaping's silence, the agent from the carriage and horse shop hurriedly offered her a sales pitch: "If you think the horses are too expensive, you can also buy a mule, which is also great."
It sounds like an option too.
Should I buy a horse or a mule?
At this moment, Qiao Huaping's eyes fell on a sick horse in the corner, kneeling on the ground and looking at the listless horse.
"This horse..."
The broker of the horse racing company showed an unlucky look on his face: "Forget it, this horse used to be a good horse. In the past, even when the price didn't increase, it would be sold for dozens of taels of silver. But I don't know what happened suddenly.
I asked a doctor who specializes in animal diseases to come over and gave me a lot of medicine without paying any attention to current affairs. I'm afraid that's all I can do for a few days."
Qiao Huaping raised her eyebrows and stepped forward to take a closer look.
The horse was in a very bad state of mind. It was kneeling on the ground with its head hanging down. If it hadn't been heaving slightly, it would have looked like it was dead - even Qiao Hua screen flipped its ears and touched it here and there.
No reaction.
Qiao Huaping made a decision in his heart.
"How can I sell this horse?"
The agent of the carriage and horse dealer showed an unbelievable expression: "Little lady, are you crazy? Why did you buy this sick horse that is going to die? Is it to eat meat?... But the horse is a sick horse, and horse meat is not good.
It’s hard to say…”
This agent is an honest person.
Qiao Huaping said: "I think it's a pity that this horse monster looks like it used to be. I'm thinking of buying it back and giving it a try. Maybe it will be cured."
The broker from the horse racing dealership showed a look of disapproval.
He has been the broker of this horse and carriage for so many years, and in his eyes, this horse may not survive more than five days.
This little lady is really naive. She probably knows some medicine and thinks she can do it.
"It won't get better." The horse racing dealer said bluntly, "I won't hide it from you. The doctor who specializes in veterinary medicine also said that this horse is not going to be alive for a few days. If you buy it back, you will have nothing to do but eat meat.
Useful."
Qiao Huaping insisted: "It's okay, I just want to try it."
The broker of the horse racing agency shook his head. Anyway, he spoke clearly and clearly. If this little lady insists on jumping into the trap, you can't blame him for robbing people.
"In that case, I'll sell you for ten taels of silver." The broker from the horse racing shop made the decision directly.
Qiao Huaping was also very cheerful. He paid the money with one hand, received the horse with the other, and completed the paperwork.
However, this horse was very sick and could not walk at first glance.
Qiao Huaping took advantage of others' unpreparedness and quietly took out a nutritional needle from the space and inserted it directly into the horse's butt.
This nutritional injection took effect very quickly, and the horse was visibly in better spirits - at least, its tail moved.
Qiao Huaping was very relieved, and using the cover of the sash, he took out three leaves from the frost flower in the space - yes, Qiao Huaping could tell, this horse must have eaten something outside.
Poison, poisoned.
Fortunately, she has the frost alkali flower which can detoxify all kinds of poisons.
When the horse and carriage dealer turned around, he saw Qiao Huaping feeding the sick horse some grass leaves.
He thought to himself, this little lady is really ignorant. Before the horse got sick, it was eating only the best grass. How could it eat leaves of some kind of weed?
However, the next moment, he opened his eyes in shock.
The sick horse opened its mouth with difficulty and chewed the leaf into its belly!
What shocked him even more was that the young lady named Qiao gently stroked the horse's body, and the horse stood up slowly!
The broker of the carriage and horse dealership suddenly thought about it - yes, after all, it's almost time to look back.
He looked at Qiao Huaping with some sympathy.
Spend ten taels of silver and buy a dead horse.
As soon as Qiao Huaping saw the horse racing agent's expression, he knew what this man was thinking.
She didn't care, she smiled and said hello to the man: "I just fed the horse some grass, and it seems to be more energetic. I think it will be gone soon."
The horse racing dealer didn’t even know what to say.
Qiao Huaping also wanted to buy another matching carriage, but she asked for it to be slightly larger. After all, there were many children at home, and next time she could use the carriage to pull the children out to play.
However, the poisoning of the horse in front of me has just been relieved, and it will take some time to completely remove the toxins from the body. I bought a trolley at the back, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hitch it on.
After Qiao Huaping thought about it, he simply asked the carriage dealer for pen and paper, drew a carriage design by himself, and added some of the things he wanted to the design.
"Can these be made to order?" Qiao Huaping asked.
The horse dealer looked at the drawing carefully, and the young lady drew it very clearly: "It's possible, it's possible...but..."
He hesitated to speak.
Your horse is going to die soon, why did you buy a carriage?
Qiao Huaping seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and just smiled: "It doesn't matter, just do it."
To show her sincerity, she even left a deposit of ten taels of silver.
Seeing this, the broker of the carriage and horse shop had no choice but to agree and made an appointment to send someone to deliver the carriage to Qiao's house five days later.
