Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

After Su Laosan agreed with his daughter's words, his two younger sisters obeyed their elder sister's words, and the family made the decision.

Su Qiuyi stood up and pulled her aunt, "Aunt, let's go out and buy some things for the journey. We don't know what the situation will be like on the road."

Su Xiaofang quickly stood up and said, "Okay, okay! Third brother, you take good care of the two girls! Yiyi and I are going to go shopping!"

After giving the instructions, he hurriedly followed him out.

Knowing that Su Qiuyi had money, Su Laosan had no objection. His understanding of his daughter made him think that she must have gone to buy things for her brother-in-law and nephews and nieces.

As expected, Su Qiuyi took his aunt Su Xiaofang to the clothing store and asked her to buy a set of clothes according to the sizes of her uncle and others, and also bought a set for several members of her family as well.

Suddenly she felt that it was not easy to take out the ready-made clothes in the space now, so she bought another set to save her the trouble of explaining.

After buying clothes, I went to the pastry shop and bought a lot of pastries, wrapping them in oil paper so that it would be more convenient to eat on the road.

Then there is rice and flour. There is some in the space, but now that her younger sister is back, she can't take things from the space in front of people. Although her family won't say anything, she still feels that it is unsafe.

When they came out of the grain shop, their hands were already full of things and they could not carry them anymore.

"Aunt, shall we go to the carriage shop?"

Su Qiuyi had an idea, and it was not a spur-of-the-moment idea. She wanted to buy a more spacious carriage with a carport. The current carts were always inconvenient.

Moreover, it is a bit difficult for the chestnut horse to pull the whole family. It would be easier if there were two horses pulling the cart.

After hearing this, Su Xiaofang was still a little hesitant, "Yiyi, don't we have a carriage?"

Su Qiuyi told her aunt about her thoughts. She felt that the flatbed carriage could not accommodate the whole family, and the chestnut horse could not pull the whole family. After finding her uncle and his family, there would definitely not be enough carriages.

He also comforted his aunt by saying that he had enough silver in his hand, at most four hundred taels.

Su Xiaofang nodded with some relief, and then she thought that her niece was right. Just look at the journey from the Li father and daughter to Yuzhou City, and you will know that one horse pulling a carriage cannot seat too many people.

It would be fine if it was a short distance, but now it’s not certain how long it will be.

After the aunt and niece had agreed on it, they carried their things and asked passers-by for directions as they headed to the carriage and horse business.

Carrying clothes, cakes and food along the way, Su Qiuyi felt so regretful.

I hate myself for being so stupid. I was planning to buy a carriage without buying it first and then buying anything else.

When the two arrived at the carriage and horse inn, they were already sweating profusely.

Fortunately, they brought a water bag with them. The aunt and niece stood in front of the carriage and horse inn door, took a deep breath, drank some water, and then went in again carrying their things.

Seeing a customer coming, the owner of the carriage and horse business ran up to greet him diligently.

With the boss' introduction, Su Qiuyi took a fancy to two very good horses for pulling carriages.

One was black, the other was white, both were only three years old. Of course, she couldn't tell how old they were, as it all depended on the boss' introduction.

Looking at the two equally fat and strong horses, she was confused for a moment, not knowing which one to choose.

Su Xiaofang made a point at this time. She said, "Yiyi, these two horses are so pleasing to look at. They are so fat and strong, they must have the strength to pull the cart. Why don't we sell the chestnut horse and buy these two? These two are about the same size and height. If it were a chestnut horse, it would be a section shorter than them, and the force would definitely be uneven when pulling the cart..."

When Su Qiuyi heard this, she realized that this was indeed the truth. Without thinking, she waved her hand and decided to buy the two horses.

The boss of the carriage and horse business was very happy when he heard it.

"You two are right. These two horses are one male and one female. As the saying goes, men and women working together will not be tiring. They will definitely work well together! These two horses are very docile and are the best horses for pulling carts!"

The boss originally wanted eighty taels for the two horses, but in the end Su Qiuyi negotiated down the price to three taels, buying them for seventy-seven taels.

However, she did not take out the money immediately. After ordering the horse, she asked the boss to take her to see the carriage.

This carriage and horse shop is not small, and it has dozens of finished carriages, each of which is different.

The aunt and nephew were dazzled by the selection and it took them more time to choose the carriage than to choose the horses.

The first thing they saw was a four-wheeled carriage. Its interior was extremely luxurious. It was equipped with a low table, a desk, and a soft couch, and the space was extremely spacious.

But the interior is luxurious and the price is high. The boss quoted a sky-high price and said that such a large and luxurious carriage is actually best suited to being pulled by three or four horses. If it is pulled by two horses, the pressure will be a bit great, and it will cause greater damage to the horses if it travels long distances.

Su Qiuyi gave up decisively and dared not look at the carriage again. In fact, the more he looked at it, the more he wanted it.

The two looked around for a long time and finally chose a carriage that was not good-looking but very practical.

It wasn’t expensive, I bought it for eight taels of silver.

The exterior of the carriage is made of ordinary wood without any other embellishments, but the interior is very practical.

There are three long seats built against the three walls of the car. Although there is no cushion on them, there is space underneath.

There is a cabinet under each bench where you can store your luggage.

Moreover, the space in the middle of the car is quite large, with enough space for two adults to sleep.

However, this carriage looked like it was built for long-distance travelers. It had no unnecessary luxurious decorations. All you had to do was take it back and put cushions on the bench.

He spent eighty-five taels of silver to equip himself with a very comfortable and practical carriage, two docile horses, and the owner of the carriage and horse shop also gave him a lot of horse feed.

The aunt and nephew drove the carriage through the streets and alleys for the first time and returned safely to the inn.

But their work was not yet finished. After buying the carriage, the previous carriage had to be sold.

After the aunt and niece carefully handed the carriage over to the inn's horse waiter, they drove the chestnut horse out.

They didn't wander around, but drove the carriage directly to the previous carriage shop.

When the boss saw that it was the customer from before, he bought the chestnut horse for ten taels of silver without saying a word.

The car was so shabby that the boss had no real benefit from it, so Su Qiuyi waved her hand and gave it to the boss as a gift for the chestnut horse.

When they went back, they still had to walk back, and they started shopping.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do at the moment, so it didn't matter if they went for a walk.

This is also a good opportunity to see if there is anything I can use on the road.

Su Xiaofang was so shocked by this that she insisted on buying a lot of steamed buns to take with her.

Su Qiuyi didn't want to. She had been eating dry food for several days and was tired of the combination of steamed buns and cold water.

But she couldn't get rid of her aunt and had to pay the money later.

Su Xiaofang saw a steamed bun shop and ran in to ask the boss if he had steamed buns.

It turned out that this bun shop actually had steamed buns. Su Xiaofang bought up all the buns and filled a whole cloth bag, a total of 125 buns.

The plump white buns made her so happy that she was at a loss for words. She waved her hand and said, "Go back, Yiyi. We don't need to buy anything else!"
