Master Chen thought for a moment before saying, "I also know the situation outside. How about this? I won't give you a discount. When I settle the bill, I'll give you some beans and cakes that your mules need to eat."

Everyone was very happy after hearing what Master Chen said.

"Grandpa Chen, thank you. You really care about others." Yun Yiyi praised sweetly.

"Grandpa Chen, you really helped us a lot." Xie Zirui said happily.

"Thank you, Master Chen."

"Thank you, Master Chen."

After hearing everyone’s thanks, Master Chen waved his hand.

"It's no big deal. Let's just go on and select the remaining mules."

"Okay, Master Chen, I'd like to trouble you to help us take a look at the other mules we picked out." Old Man Wu said politely.

So, Master Chen followed Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu to carefully examine the mules they had picked out. Master Chen could see that Yun the Butcher and his team had really put a lot of effort into their selection.

The mules picked out by Butcher Yun and his men were all very good, but after Master Chen finished quoting the price, he and Old Man Wu still eliminated three mules that were priced at more than thirty taels of silver.

At this time, everyone wants to save money to buy food and heating items. It is better to save as much as possible on the price of mules. Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu thought involuntarily.

The remaining nine mules were all priced at around twenty-five taels each. This way, I could explain the situation to everyone when I returned to the village.

After all twelve mules were selected, Master Chen, together with Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu, moved all the mules into two sheds.

After everyone finished their work, their faces and bodies were covered with sweat. It was okay if they didn't move in this weather, but they would sweat as soon as they moved.

"Master Chen, let's go and check out the carriage later." Yun the butcher asked, tilting his head.

"Okay, I'll go and choose now. The carriages for the donkey cart are new, of similar style and size, and there are fifteen of them."

Master Chen led everyone to another row of wooden houses.

"We're here. The rooms in front are used for carriages. I'll open the door and we'll go take a look." After Master Chen said this, he opened the doors of the three wooden houses side by side.

Then, Master Chen took everyone to the first wooden house.

After entering the wooden house, Yun Yiyi found that the house was full of dust and spider webs were hanging in the corners. Then, Yun Yiyi looked towards the middle of the house, where some carriages were piled up randomly.

There was a lot of dust on the carriage, and the original color could not be seen clearly. Yun Yiyi walked forward and wiped the dust off the carriage with her hand. It can be seen that the carriage is new and has not been used by anyone.

Yun the butcher and Wu the old man lifted an empty carriage down and put it on the open space next to them. The carriage was not small, it was larger than the usual carriages.

Yun the butcher lifted the curtain and looked inside the carriage. It was quite spacious. Even if some food was put in, it could accommodate two or three adults to sleep. The space was not small, so Yun the butcher slowly backed out.

He touched the wood used to make the carriage. Although it was not a famous wood, the material used for the carriage was very solid and strong.

Master Chen waited until Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu had finished looking before he asked, "This carriage is specially made to size. It's larger than the average carriage. You can see the materials used. They're very solid."

"Usually when we take it to other states, the carriage alone costs two and a half taels of silver. However, we need to transport it ourselves."

"Since you bought a large quantity today, I will give you two taels of silver for one carriage. This price is very affordable." Master Chen said sincerely.

Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu exchanged glances. The price Mr. Chen quoted was acceptable and indeed not high.

"Okay, Master Chen, thank you for giving us such a big discount." Old Man Wu said gratefully.

"It's mainly because you want a large quantity at once that I can give you a discount. There are nine carriages in this room. We'll go to the next room and count six more, and we'll have fifteen."

After listening to Master Chen, Yun the butcher and his men cleared out the carriages one by one and carried them to the door. Of course, they also took the opportunity to check the carriages, which were all new and not damaged.

Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui also wanted to help, but were driven aside by Yun the Butcher to rest.

It took more than half an hour for Yun the Butcher and his men to finally lift all nine carriages to the open space outside the house.

Butcher Yun looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was almost at its zenith. He knew it was almost noon, so he asked everyone to go to the wooden house next door and continue carrying the carriage out.

Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu selected six carriages, and Master Chen also helped to carry them out. In less than 20 minutes, everyone had moved all six carriages.

"There are five mule-drawn carriages in the room. You can take a look and then we can continue moving." Master Chen said after taking a breath.

"Okay, Brother Wu. Let's continue moving." Yun the butcher said, wiping the sweat from his face.

"Let's go, keep moving." Old Man Wu said weakly. He hadn't eaten in the morning, and now it was noon. He was hot, thirsty, and tired. Old Man Wu really wanted to give up.

With the help of Master Chen, Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu moved all the carriages out.

"Brother Wu, this carriage is much bigger than the one pulled by a donkey. I like it." Butcher Yun patted the mule's carriage happily.

"This carriage is specially designed for mules. Mules are very strong, so we deliberately made the carriage a little bigger. And mules are also suitable for long-distance travel." Master Chen explained carefully.

"It's very good, Master Chen, I like this size, it can hold a lot of things." Old Man Wu said in surprise.

"Even when the weather gets cold, two adults and a child can sleep comfortably." Yun the Butcher continued.

"Dad, the carriage pulled by this mule is much bigger than I imagined." Yun Yiyi said in surprise.

"Yes, this way we don't have to worry about having no place to put our things." said Yun the Butcher.

"There are five new carriages and two old carriages in the room at the far end. Do you like any of them?" Master Chen said, pointing to the last room.

"Okay, let's go and take a look." After saying this, Yun the Butcher took the lead and walked to the last room.

When Yun the butcher entered the house, the first thing he saw was the two oversized carriages in the corner. Yun the butcher estimated that they were one-third larger than the carriages next to them.

As soon as he saw how big the carriage was, Yun the Butcher liked it. He walked over and wiped off a small piece of dust on the carriage. The wood used in the carriage was better than that of new carriages. However, if you look closely, you can still see that this carriage is an old one.

There are many small scratches on the wood outside the carriage. It affects the appearance, but does not affect the use. The wood of the carriage is also made of a whole piece of wood, and the whole carriage looks very solid.
