Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

"Duo'er, Chenyang, follow your uncle and Manager Cheng to the livestock market to buy a carriage. Your father and I will go to the teahouse next door to wait for you. Yuheng, why don't you go with us to the teahouse and wait for a while?"

Yun Hai looked at Cheng An and said, "Thank you for taking care of it, Manager Cheng."

"You're welcome, Doctor Yun."

Cheng Ping and Cheng An were responsible for collecting rent from the tenant farmers in the village, so the villagers called them Cheng Managers.

Yun Qingsong did not object. After all, his third cousin was with the two children. He knew more about the ways of the world than he did and would not be deceived.

Cheng Yuheng could not believe that Yunhai would let the two children decide on such an important matter as buying a carriage. She really wanted to spend more time with the little girl, so she said, "The livestock market is dirty and messy, Duo'er should not go. Let Uncle San and Chenyang go with Cheng Ping."

Although Yun Qingsong found Cheng Yuheng a bit annoying, he didn't want his delicate daughter to go to such a smelly place, so he agreed with Cheng Yuheng's words: "Duo'er, don't go. It's too hot outside. Be careful not to get sunburned. Just let your eldest brother and your third uncle go."

Yun Duo was worried, fearing that they would not bargain and overpay: "Dad, just go and have tea, the money is all here, I can help you bargain. I'm worried that my brothers are not good at bargaining and will spend more money."

Yunhai also wanted Yunduo to go with him. His granddaughter was a man of her own ideas, so she could act according to circumstances. "Duo'er, just go with us. I'll listen to Duo'er if you need to buy anything."

The livestock market in Bac Ninh County is run by the government. The location of the livestock market is a bit remote. This is also because livestock has a strong taste, so it was built a little far from the city. The price is relatively fair, but you need to pay a fee of 20 coins after the transaction is successful. It has been registered with the government.

The mule cart traveled for about 25 minutes and arrived at the livestock market. Before they even got close, a strong stench of feces hit their noses. Yun Duo frowned slightly and quickly took out a mask from her bosom and put it on.

She was afraid of arousing other people's suspicion, so she deliberately did not take out a disposable mask. After all, in this era, the fabrics and ear straps of disposable masks are rare.

The mask Yun Duo took out had a layer of exquisite pure cotton floral fabric on the outside, and the ear straps were two straps tied together. Except for the slightly strange appearance, there was nothing wrong with it.

The livestock trading market is quite large, and there are two people specializing in registration at the door.

There were a lot of people in the market, and several who had already reached an agreement went to line up at the door to get their livestock deeds signed.

The livestock market is divided into the front yard and the back yard. The front yard is full of individual traders. Several men dressed in coarse cloth and like farmers are leading donkeys or cows to sell. Cows are the lifeblood of farmers, and few people would sell their cows unless the family is in urgent need of money.

They didn't need cows and donkeys so they didn't stay in the front yard. They went directly to the backyard. There were two carriage shops in the backyard, "Hengtong Carriage Shop" and "Ping'an Carriage Shop", which sold mules, horses and various vehicles.

A man dressed as a waiter stood at the door of the "Hengtong Carriage Company". He looked at the visitors and saw that they were all wearing coarse cloth clothes. Although there were no patches, they were washed white. The woman behind them was wearing a fine cotton dress. Although this dress was the best in the countryside, it was not good enough in the county town.

He doesn't look like the steward of a wealthy family. Generally, stewards of wealthy families would not come with so many people in order to earn some kickbacks. This group of people who came together are all from the countryside. To buy a mule, they would like to send out the whole family. They bargained for the price and might not buy it all at once but would consider coming several times.

The carriage shop has been doing very good business these days, with a constant stream of customers buying horses and carriages, and the prices of horses and carriages are very high. Even the inconspicuous mules have also risen in price and are being sold at high prices. The young man feels that at the current price, even if they were allowed in, they would not be able to afford it.

Even if they bought a mule, they would not make much money, unlike selling horses and carriages. The price of horses was high, and they would get dozens of coins in reward if they sold one. If they could sell two horses a day and sell the carriage as well, they could get hundreds of coins in reward, not counting the monthly reward.

He didn't want to waste time on this inconspicuously dressed man, so he called out to a steward behind them who was well-dressed and looked like a wealthy family: "Sir, please come in! The horses in our carriage shop are all top-notch, please choose from among them!"

Yun Duo looked at the two carriage shops on the left and right. There were customers selecting horses in the yard, and the sound of bargaining could be heard from time to time.

The guy from Hengtong Carriage Company didn't want to pay any attention to them. She was hesitant and didn't know which one to go to, so she looked at Cheng An.

Cheng An saw Yun Duo's inquiring look and said, "Miss Yun, I only know a little bit about distinguishing the quality and age of horses, and I have never been to this carriage shop."

At this time, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old came out of the "Ping An Carriage". He was wearing a long gown and looked a bit like a scholar. He came to them a bit shyly and asked stiffly: "Do you need to buy horses or mules?

You can take a look inside. We also have several fine horses and mules for sale. The prices are very fair.”
