Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 736 You can have a horse, but you have to pay the silver first

Bai Wanwan smiled and nodded:

"Indeed, everything here is worth trying, whether it's fruits or poultry, the varieties are different from ordinary ones.

Take these pheasants and wild boars for example, they look strong, don’t they?

They also eat the finest feed, mixed with dried wild fruits and finely ground grains, without any other impurities, which is why their meat is so firm."

The ladies looked in the direction she pointed and saw that the bamboo baskets were full of plump feed grains. They all nodded in agreement.

"By the way, we also have fresh eggs here, some from pheasants and some from domestic chickens. They vary in size and taste."

Bai Wanwan continued, "If you like it, you can order it anytime. Not only is the price affordable, but it's also guaranteed to be fresh. It's delivered the same day it's harvested, so it won't be kept for long."

As he was speaking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a pasture not far away.

Everyone turned around and saw a group of horses galloping with their manes fluttering in the wind.

A lady suddenly clutched her handkerchief and exclaimed, "What kind of horse is this? Look at its figure and the way it runs. Could it be a Ferghana horse?"

Bai Wanwan smiled and nodded, then raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the ranch:

"This is our horse farm, where we raise some fine horses.

Including the ones that just ran away, there are more than sixty Arabian horses in total.

There are also ten Dayuan celestial horses, which are rarer than the Ferghana horses and have a more aggressive temperament, making them difficult for ordinary people to control."

The ladies' faces lit up instantly. Some of them took two steps forward, clutching their handkerchiefs, their eyes fixed on the pasture, their voices softening as they said, "There are actually Dayuan celestial horses? I've only heard of them in storybooks!"

A lady at the side spoke first, her tone full of urgency:

“Wanwan, my boy is learning horse riding and archery, and he needs a good horse.

If I could order your Ferghana horse, what would the price be?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several other ladies with children of marriageable age followed suit and began to inquire about the matter of choosing horses.

Bai Wanwan responded with a smile:

"No hurry, I'll take you to the stables to take a closer look, and we'll talk about it later if you find any horse you like.

As for the price, a purebred Arabian horse outside would cost at least three thousand taels of silver, and you would have to use connections to find it.

We keep them here without any worries, and the price is reasonable, 2,500 taels per horse, and if you order two or more, you can get an additional 200 taels off."

These words moved the ladies. The difference between two or three thousand taels and two thousand five hundred taels was five hundred taels, which was not a small amount. What's more, they could choose the horses themselves.

One lady immediately laughed and said, "That's something we'll have to take a closer look at! If my boy knew he could have a Ferghana horse, he'd definitely practice his horseback riding and archery even more diligently!"

Bai Wanwan led everyone to the stable. The Arabian horse in the fence was shiny all over, with its mane hanging down like satin, causing the crowd to sigh.

She raised her hand and said in a clear voice:

"Please look, these are not ordinary Arabian horses.

They are all purebreds, with strength and endurance far superior to ordinary horses."

A lady dressed in brocade said with amazement, "This horse is much better than the one my master has! No way, I want this horse!"

Several ladies nearby immediately echoed the sentiment. One waved her hand and said, "I want three! They'll be more presentable for my sons to use when they go out."

Another one even laughed and made the decision: "I have a lot of boys and girls, five horses! One horse for each of them is enough, so they don't have to fight over it!"

The young lady beside her immediately grabbed her sleeve and said in a sweet voice, "Mom! You're so kind! I've wanted a horse like this for a long time. It would be so nice to ride it!"

Someone couldn't help but ask loudly, "Wanwan, this Dayuan Pegasus looks good, but how much silver does it cost?"

Bai Wanwan smiled and said:

"An ordinary Dayuan celestial horse would sell for over ten thousand taels.

But today, I am giving you a discount. One horse only costs eight thousand taels, which is a full two thousand taels cheaper."

The crowd erupted in excitement. The lady who had previously ordered five horses suddenly brightened up and said, "Eight thousand taels? That's a bargain! I was originally only thinking of buying them for the children, but now it seems I need to buy one for myself!"

Several people nearby nodded, and someone rubbed his hands and said:

"That's right! This price is much cheaper than outside. If you miss today, you never know when you'll have this opportunity again.

I'll also add two more horses to keep for the elders at home!"

Lin Zao Zao was extremely jealous. Ever since these ladies came to Qingshui County, he always felt like he was being led around by Bai Wanwan.

Not only them, but even Lin Zaozao himself felt itchy when he looked at those horses.

A lady nearby came over and smacked her lips and said:

"Oh, this horse is really good! My kid has been clamoring to buy a horse for a long time. He didn't even bat an eyelid at the ordinary horses that cost a few hundred taels of silver before.

This horse is a bit expensive, but if you can really buy a purebred Arabian horse, it would cost several thousand taels in the capital, right?

The price is too good to be true now. No, I have to buy one!"

The people nearby were still whispering to each other, but after hearing what she said, they couldn't help themselves and followed her lead.

Lin Zao Zao was watching from the side and stamped his feet in anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.

Lin Dasheng walked up to Bai Wanwan, pointed at a horse in the herd and said:

"Your horses are really good. I'll order one too, this one! Its coat is as shiny as if it were greased, a pure red without a single spot of other colors.

It is also strong and stands firmly on four legs, which looks very powerful.

I see his eyes are bright and he is full of energy. I want this Dayuan celestial horse."

Bai Wanwan's eyes turned cold: "You can have the horse, but go and pay the silver first."

Lin Dasheng put his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean by silver or no silver? I'm your father. How can I pay you for taking your horse?"

The originally noisy sounds around them suddenly became quieter, and several ladies quietly stopped talking and looked at the two people.

Bai Wanwan's voice suddenly rose a few notches, and her words were clear:

"Are you going to let me expose your shortcomings in front of so many people and embarrass you? Do you think you're worthy enough to call me daddy?

From childhood to adulthood, have you ever spent a penny on me or taken care of me for a day?

Just last year, I stayed at your house for a few days, but what happened? You didn't even give me food. I had no choice but to go into the mountains by myself.

You turned around and went to court to sue me and my mother, forcing my mother to transfer all the houses under my name to you. How could you be so cruel? "

Bai Wanwan became increasingly excited as she spoke, her eyes slightly reddening. "Now that you see I'm capable, you come claiming me as your daughter and asking for my horse? Ask yourself, are you worthy?"

A lady in the crowd took the lead in speaking, her voice quite loud:

"I've actually heard a few stories about this! Life was so hard during the famine!

He was so good that he directly kicked Wanwan's mother and others out of the house.

Wanwan was only a short time old at that time, and they couldn’t even get a hot meal. They almost didn’t survive that winter!
