Xiao Shao put the carriage in the special place at the entrance of the carriage and horse stalls, and then led Man Bao in.
Although the chariot and horse shop is called a chariot and horse shop, most of the cars they sell are carts, and there are only a few ready-made blue cloth carriages, which are very simple.
Because good carriages are all made to order, who can make a luxurious carriage and sell it in a shop
What if you can't sell it
Other than that, the rest of the places are for buying livestock.
Horses, cows, donkeys, mules, and even peacocks from the southern country. When Manbao passed by, he heard a cry, and then the peacock spread its tail, shining like emeralds in the sky. Manbao was dumbfounded for a moment, and immediately I can't walk anymore.
Xiao Shao was also stunned, and shouted: "It's so beautiful, Mr. Zhou, you are so lucky. This peacock has been here for a long time, but it just doesn't like to spread its tail. No matter how people teased it before, it didn't work, so you left When it came over, it turned on the screen."
Not only did it open its screen, but it also tilted its head and shouted at Man Bao, then shook its big tail screen and circled half a circle in front of Man Bao, showing its beauty in all directions.
Man Bao was immediately fascinated, stood in front of the railing, looked at the peacock eagerly and asked, "How much is this?"
Xiao Shao was taken aback, and quickly grabbed Man Bao, "Little Doctor Zhou, we can't afford this."
Passers-by who came to watch the peacock spread their tails took a look at Man Bao's clothes, but they didn't think Man Bao could afford it.
The steward leaning on the railing and guarding the peacock didn't mean to look down on Man Bao, and said with a smile, "Young lady, do you want to buy it?"
Man Bao nodded again and again, and Ke Ke also tried his best not to make a sound to disturb her, and began to calculate quietly, based on the previous performance of the host, how likely is it to let her include this.
The steward laughed and said, "My peacock is green jade, the most precious kind, so I don't sell it for money."
"Since it is rare, naturally it is only rare."
Man Bao began to pick up things in the mall, her eyes were shining, she likes to exchange rare things for rare things.
The steward continued: "For example, Yantun, Caokou, or a parent officer in a place, you can be a general."
Man Bao: "...is this rare?"
The steward said: "The rare things are naturally rare."
Man Bao said angrily: "Then you might as well say that this is dedicated to the emperor, and officials cannot buy or sell it. Who else can give it to you except him?"
"The emperor already has two peacocks. Although mine is not bad, it's not unusual for him. I'm afraid I can't ask for an official." The steward said with a smile: "Little lady has no official, but Yantun or Caokou. It’s okay, my peacock was transported here from the Ministry of Heman. During the period, it traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and countless hardships and dangers. I can guarantee that not only the capital city, but the entire Central Plains, except for the two in the palace, will be gone again. There is no more splendid peacock."
Man Bao thought to himself, don't say she doesn't have those things, even if she has them, she can't exchange them with him.
Keke saw Man Bao's attitude, and couldn't help whispering in her mind: "Change it, this is worth more points than a horse."
Speaking of horses, Man Bao finally remembered the horses. She reluctantly looked away from the peacocks, and she wanted to leave with a look of regret. By the way, she comforted Keke in her heart, "We don't have Yantun, let alone Caokou, and it's impossible for us to give He is an official."
Keke: "... host, you are working hard, just ask the price."
Man Bao thought about it, so he said to the steward, "Then what if we have to buy it with money? How much is it worth?"
Apparently there were quite a few people who asked this question, and the steward took it for granted, and said with a smile, "I don't need money, but I need a hundred boats full of food."
Man Bao humbly asked, "How much grain is there for a boat?"
"The price of a tank boat is usually a thousand stones."
When Man Bao heard this, he saluted immediately, "Excuse me."
Then he turned around and left, his heart was crackling to settle accounts, and he replied to Keke, "Did you hear that, a thousand stones, a hundred ships are worth a hundred thousand stones, and now I don't know what the price of grain in the capital is, but one stone should be It won't be less than one hundred and fifty cash, let's not talk about whether you can buy the grain of 100,000 shi, you can count the money."
Man Bao turned his head and asked Xiao Shao, "How do you sell the millet in the capital now?"
Xiao Shao replied with a dazed expression: "The last time my family went to buy it, it seemed to cost eighteen cents a bucket."
At this moment, Manbao still has time to sigh, "The prices in the capital are higher than those in our small places."
Then he said to Keke in his mind: "Did you hear that, for 18 Wen, one shi is 180 Wen. One hundred thousand shi of grain can supply the army. Where can I buy so much grain? "
Keke only felt sorry for it. Anyway, the host has let go of the precious species he saw these years, but he still reminded, "Do you want the host to go to the what and barbarian department for a walk in the future?"
Man Bao had studied geography with Mr. Zhuang, and he was also yearning for the legendary high mountains and dangerous places, so he nodded and said: "When I grow up, I will go there when I am able. There are a lot of poisonous insects and miasma, and it is not easy to get over it."
So I still have to study medicine hard, so I still have to earn points to buy "patients".
Very well, back to the original point, Man Bao and Xiao Shao went to find his friend.
His friend is a guy who works in a carriage and horse dealership, and he received them very warmly. Because it was introduced by Xiao Shao, he first took Manbao to see the horse he thought was the best, and then told him from the teeth of the horse. When it came to the hooves of the horses, everyone told Man Bao that these horses were all very good horses.
"So, Doctor Zhou, do you want to have good stamina, run fast, or be gentle?"
These horses are all well-groomed, their hair is docile and shiny, and they eat high-quality beans, especially one of the brown-red horses is so beautiful.
So beautiful that Man Bao couldn't help hugging its neck.
This horse is not big, only two years old, which is suitable for a young man like Man Bao. Slowly raise and develop feelings, and he will become an adult in a year.
The horse seemed to like Man Bao very much, so he cupped her hand, Man Bao was even more reluctant, and asked, "How much is this horse?"
The waiter immediately rolled his eyes with a smile, and said: "Doctor Zhou has a good eye. The parents of this horse are both famous horses. They can race in the racecourse, and they run very fast. If Doctor Zhou wants it, we will only take it here." Twenty-eight gold."
That's not cheap anymore.
Man Bao counted the money in his pocket, thinking that he would go to the palace the day after tomorrow and conspire with the eunuch to buy some flowers and plants, so he reluctantly said: "Then which is the cheapest horse here?"
The waiter was taken aback, and said: "If Doctor Zhou thinks this horse is too expensive, why don't you take a look at this one, it's not too bad, it only costs twenty-three gold."
Man Bao just glanced at it and shook his head, "No, I want the cheapest one in your store."
Dude and Xiao Shao: …
In the end, the man took Manbao to the backyard and showed her two old horses and three ponies in the stable.
