Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl
Chapter 55 Buying a Horse
After strolling around like this, Shen Li bought 20 chickens, ducks and geese. The chicks and ducklings were 5 coins each, and the goslings were 7 coins each.
When the old man selling chickens, ducks and goose babies took the copper coins handed over by Shen Li, his hands couldn't stop shaking. After all, this was a considerable income for him.
Shen Li looked at the old man's trembling hands, and her heart could not help but ripple. At this moment, she seemed to have the same deep understanding as Shen's father.
In this feudal society, the people who suffer the most are always the common people at the bottom of society. Just like the original Shen Daya, wasn't she starved to death because of poverty?
When Shen Li thought of this, her mood became extremely heavy, and the sadness spread in her heart like a tide.
However, Shen Li didn't want to keep herself immersed in this negative emotion.
She shook her head vigorously, as if to get rid of all the bad emotions.
Then, she turned around and looked at her father. Seeing his gentle and familiar face, Shen Li's mood suddenly became happy again.
As long as Daddy is around, it seems like all my worries can be put behind me.
The two continued walking and strolling, and unknowingly arrived at the place where horses were sold.
Shen Li's big eyes were suddenly attracted by a black horse. Her feet seemed to be frozen and she could not move at all.
This horse is so beautiful! Its hide is smooth and shiny, like fine silk that has been carefully polished.
Those eyes were bright and lively, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, revealing a lively aura.
Shen Li thought secretly in her heart that this was simply her dream horse.
However, she wanted to buy the horse not for herself, but to give it to her father.
When the stall owner saw Shen Li and Shen's father from afar, his eyes suddenly lit up and he greeted them warmly.
He looked around, then lowered his voice and introduced mysteriously, "My two guests, these are war horses from Xiqi. They are all first-class horses. If you are interested in buying them, please come in and discuss the details!"
Shen Li and Shen's father looked at each other after hearing this. Shen Shaodong thought for a moment, then nodded, and the two followed the stall owner into the inner hall.
As soon as they stepped into the inner hall, Shen Li and Shen's father were shocked by the scene before them.
The interior of the hall was decorated in a simple and elegant style. The wooden tables and chairs exuded a faint sandalwood scent. There were several ancient paintings hanging on the wall, and exquisite porcelain was placed in the corner. It was a world of difference from the simple stable outside, and there was an indescribable sense of incongruity everywhere.
At this time, the stall owner said to the two of them with a smile on his face: "Two guests, please take a seat first." After that, he winked at a little boy next to him. The little boy walked over quickly and poured steaming hot tea for the two of them.
The stall owner raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Please have some tea!" As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking back and forth between the two of them.
Shen's father and Shen Li were completely bewildered. Shen Shaodong couldn't help but ask, "My dear, what are you talking about? Why are you being so mysterious? It's like you're hiding something. It's really hard to figure out."
Upon hearing this, the stall owner quickly returned the gift and asked with a flattering smile, "Don't be offended, Immortal Masters. My name is Mr. Chen. I wonder if you still have those immortal chickens and rabbits?"
After hearing this, Shen Shaodong subconsciously glanced at Shen Li. Seeing his daughter nodded slightly, he said, "To be honest, those fairy pets were left by my female master, and there are very few of them. Now we do have two fairy pigs left at home."
When Chen Sheng heard this, he immediately became anxious, and asked anxiously with his eyes full of anxiety: "Master, how much silver can you give me for this immortal pig?"
Shen Shaodong looked embarrassed and responded, "This..." He pretended to turn his head and look at his daughter, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: This guy is really a sucker who has come to my doorstep. What is going on?
How should I respond? It's like a pie suddenly falling from the sky, but should I take it or not?
Oh, this is so frustrating, but I've been wronged! What's the problem? Waiting online, it's urgent!
Shen Li calmly replied, "It's fate that my father and I can walk to Uncle Chen's door today. But I want to ask, uncle, how many war horses do you have?"
Chen Sheng couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Aren't you only buying one? I see you've bought quite a few animals along the way."
Shen Li's face was as calm as still water, and she seemed to be a little worried as she spoke, "Since Uncle Chen knows about fairy pets, he must have heard that my master had become disillusioned with the cultivation of fairy pets and finally retreated into the mountains and forests. Now there is no trace of him at all."
Having said that, she straightened her expression and said seriously, "However, I have inherited the master's teachings and have wanted to give the cultivation of fairy pets a try!
That's why my father and I are running around today, buying these animals. But it's not that easy to raise these immortal pets. Alas, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time and energy, and these animals will be wasted.
As Shen Li spoke, her little head shook and swayed, and the two cute buns on top of her head swayed along with it, like two cheerful elves.
Shen Shaodong glanced at his daughter and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He quickly coughed to cover it up.
At this time, Chen Sheng broke the silence again and asked cautiously, "I wonder what this immortal pig looks like? Will a mortal like me still have a chance to see it?"
He kept thinking in his mind that seeing how these two people behaved in the market, he felt that they were also people of temperament. He had to find a way to buy a fairy pig today.
Shen Li seemed to have made a great decision. She suddenly raised her head and said, "Forget it! I'll give you this fairy pig. This way I'll have the motivation to continue looking for other fairy pets. Who knows, I might actually succeed in raising a fairy pet!"
When Mr. Chen heard this, he was overjoyed. His voice changed in tone with surprise: "Really? Oh, I... I'm so excited!"
He stood up excitedly, turned around twice, and said happily: "I will give you 20,000 taels for these two immortal pigs, and 20 war horses as a gift. I will also give you the horse king!"
Shen Shaodong and Shen Li looked at each other and unexpectedly understood each other: This is not a sucker, this is simply the God of Wealth! Not only did he buy the warhorse for free, he also gave 20,000 taels!
Fortunately, this father and daughter are not ordinary people, otherwise they would be stunned by this news!
