The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming
Chapter 73: A Big Story
"Is your cow sick?" Shitou walked around the cow lying on the ground and said in a mature manner, "My ancestor was a veterinarian. Don't try to fool me."
The middle-aged man had seen many buyers pretending to be experienced, and he could tell at a glance that the stone was not strong enough.
"Customer, please don't say anything nonsense. My cow is fine." The middle-aged man explained, "It pulled a heavy load yesterday and accidentally injured its leg. I just saw a doctor and it will be healed in two days."
Shitou curled his lips in disbelief, "Where is the injury? Why didn't I see it?"
The middle-aged man pointed at the cow's leg and said, "The doctor said that the injury is in the flesh and cannot be seen from the outside."
Shitou took a closer look with some doubt, and even touched it, then nodded seriously, "It is indeed a wound inside the flesh, I can feel it with just a touch."
The guy's eyes twitched. If you don't understand, don't pretend to know. If you follow your boss's words, he will definitely kill you.
The middle-aged man was becoming more and more certain that Shi Tou was just pretending to be mature, but was actually just a little kid who knew nothing.
He cleared his throat and said, "I bought this ox for ten taels. If you are sincere, add three taels and I will sell you the ox cart for half the price."
Guy: Good man, the boss doesn’t intend to lose money at all.
"Are you trying to fool us?" Xiao Huan glared at the middle-aged man and said to Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing, "Master, Madam, a cow only sells for six taels in the East Market, and with the ox cart, it's only eight taels. He's taking advantage of us, so let's go to the East Market to buy it."
"I hate liars." Shang Wan looked at Lu Chengjing and said in a tender voice, "Husband, don't rent a car here in the future."
Lu Chengjing glanced at the middle-aged man, nodded to Shang Wan, and smiled dotingly, "I will listen to my wife."
Shang Wan smiled sweetly, but in her heart she was thinking that she must make her fox smile like this a few more times when she gets home.
Xiao Huan immediately called out to Shi Tou, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"
"Coming." Shi Tou walked over immediately.
The middle-aged man saw that the duck in his mouth was about to fly away, and hurriedly called out to the man, "Wait! Sir, the price I just mentioned is the price I bought it for. If you are sincere, I can give you a lower price."
Lu Chengjing didn't look back.
The middle-aged man winked at the waiter, who immediately ran over and opened his arms to block the four people.
"You guys still want to force me to buy or sell?" Shitou stepped forward and glared at the waiter with great momentum. "Why don't you ask who my young master is? If you dare to touch even a hair of my young master, the government will come and raid the carriage and horse business tomorrow."
When the guy heard about this, he was surprised by the background. He secretly looked at Lu Chengjing. He looked like an immortal. The appearance and temperament of the young lady next to him were also outstanding. It was definitely impossible for an ordinary family to raise such a beautiful lady.
He looked at his boss and asked, "Will he stop this?"
The middle-aged man's heart was also beating fast. This involved the government. Could it be that he was a relative of the prefect?
Shitou shouted at the waiter, "Get out of the way!"
"Calm down, little brother. Let's talk it over nicely." After weighing the pros and cons, the middle-aged man ran forward and bowed to Lu Chengjing. "Just now, I was blind and neglected you. Don't be upset, you and your wife. The price of this ox cart can be negotiated. It can be negotiated."
"Husband, let's go." Shang Wan squinted at the middle-aged man and deliberately found fault with him, "He doesn't look like a good person at first glance."
Lu Chengjing: "It's all up to you, my lady."
He looked like someone who was blinded by lust.
The middle-aged man secretly spat several times, saying that he was not a real man at all because he listened to his wife in everything!
He smiled apologetically, "Madam, you are joking. I am a very honest and upright person, and everyone in the neighborhood knows this. I wonder what you are going to do with this cow, Madam?"
"I bought it to eat..." Shang Wan hurriedly covered his mouth halfway through his words, with a look of annoyance between his brows.
The middle-aged man is so smart. It turns out he bought the cow to eat. He really needs to find a plausible excuse.
In this dynasty, those who privately kill working oxen are severely punished.
According to the law, anyone who intentionally kills another person's horse or cattle shall be caned 70 times and sentenced to one and a half years in prison; anyone who privately slaughters his own horses and cattle shall be caned 100 times; anyone who fails to report the injury or death of a working ox to the authorities and privately skins it shall be caned 40 times.
The middle-aged man guessed that Shang Wan was craving for beef, but it was not convenient for him to buy it and kill it openly, so he used the roundabout method of buying an ox cart.
Originally he was worried that selling the sick cow to Shang Wan and the other man would cause trouble, but now he felt relieved knowing that they were buying it to eat.
He took a closer look at Lu Chengjing's face and found that he was indeed a stranger. The wheelchair was made of very good materials and would sell for at least three or four hundred taels of silver in a woodworking workshop.
The sleeping baby was very cute and was wearing silk. It was obvious that she was the product of a wealthy family.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man smiled ingratiatingly and said, "If you and your wife are sincere in buying it, I will lower the price. How about six taels?"
Xiao Huan curled her lips and said, "It's also sold for six taels in the East Market, and it's a healthy cow."
"Miss, there are many people in the East Market who are full of gossips. How can it be as convenient as my carriage and horse carriage?" The middle-aged man smiled meaningfully, "I am the most tight-lipped person."
Shang Wan glanced at him, then leaned over and whispered something into Lu Chengjing's ear.
Lu Chengjing nodded, grabbed her hand and played with it carefully, looking as if he didn't care.
The middle-aged man felt more and more contemptuous, but looking at Shang Wan's appearance, he felt that if he married such a fairy-like wife, he would probably pamper her.
The woman in his family is so fierce, how can she be like this lady who is so sweet and gentle and so cuddly?
Shang Wan said, "You know whether this cow is sick or not. Together with the carriage frame, it's worth five taels of silver. If you're willing to sell it, we'll be going back to the city in two days. We have a lot of stuff, so we'll have to rent several carriages. We'll rent them all from your carriage shop."
The middle-aged man calculated in his mind that renting the ox cart in the past two months had helped him earn some money. With the five taels given by Shang Wan, he could almost break even.
If I can really make this carriage rental business, I won't lose money if I sell it for five taels.
Having made up his mind, the middle-aged man sighed, "Alas, five taels of silver is really a loss. My carriage and horse business is also a small business. Business is not good now..."
Shang Wan interrupted him and said, "I can sign a contract with you. I will send someone to the carriage shop to rent a carriage in two days."
This is what the middle-aged man was waiting for. After saying a few nice words, he agreed, drafted the contract, and both parties signed it.
Lu Chengjing had read the contract, and the gist of the terms was that when the agreed date arrived, regardless of whether anyone showed up to rent a carriage from the carriage shop or not, the rental money had to be paid, otherwise the government would enforce it.
His eyes deepened slightly as he watched Shang Wan take out a square seal and stamp it on the contract, then handed it to the middle-aged man, "Go to the Lu family in the north of the city to get the money then."
