The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Yan Laoer laughed and patiently coaxed some distressed old men.

Good horses are hard to feed, let alone lame ones.

At that time, the fight with Beirong was so hot that it was either you die or I live, who can care about the horse.

"Uncle Luo, it's alright if I made a mistake. I'll keep the old lame ones from now on... I'll serve them with delicious food and drink. I'll feed them beans, caramel, and concentrate. They can be sold for ten taels or ten taels." Yan Laoer Said with a hippie smile.

Village Chief Luo glared at him angrily, and then came to his senses and asked suspiciously, "Is it really only worth ten taels?"

The prince said openly: "The difference is not less than this number, fifteen taels at most, the price difference between a bad horse and a good horse is huge, there is no one in a thousand real horses, and it may not be possible to buy a few hundred or even a thousand taels. It is rare to get a horse. If it costs more than a hundred taels, a medium horse will cost seventy or eighty taels of silver, and the most common one is a dismounted horse, which ranges from three to fifty taels, depending on the age of teeth, skeleton, legs, and hoof shape... There are many things to talk about here."

He spoke slowly on purpose so that those around him could hear him clearly.

"In that case, we don't lose much." Old Song was the shrewdest, and he quickly understood the account here. "The horses are so difficult to raise. If you really want to keep them and not sell them, how much do you think it will cost you?"

"No." Yan Laoer clacked to settle accounts for the big guy: "The lame one has to be raised to the bone, and it may not be able to be raised back. If it can't be raised, the horse will be useless. It can't do work by eating alone. We want it to do it. What." Naturally, let Gu Feng take it away as soon as possible, and save fodder.

"I've inquired about it. Bei Rong is a thief. When the market was opened, the horses they sold to us were all gelded, and we were not allowed to keep the seeds. The horses they rode themselves were neat. Hehe, those males The horses looked good, and they were sold for a lot of money. There were also a few mares with cubs, who didn't look pregnant. Mr. Xue still wanted to deceive me. How could it be possible? I touched them one by one, one by one. For the price of two and a half horses, bet on the birth of strong and vigorous colts."

Qi Si was fascinated by what he heard, and asked foolishly: "Then what if the birth is not strong, do we have to compensate others?"

"What do you pay for?" Yan Laoer said confidently: "I would like to admit defeat, and we didn't ask them to buy it. This is all cheap for them. If we want to send Ma La to the capital, the price has to be doubled."

"That is to say, the horses here in Guanzhou are cheaper, and other big houses can't buy good horses with money." Yan Laoer said: "It's the same sentence, let's let Xue Zongqi tie the knot to sell, one way saves trouble, two They are all sold to frontier soldiers everywhere, and we will accept them if they are cheaper."

"A lot, a lot." Uncle Hu said with a smile.

After Hu Da received the money, he came back and gave it to his father. The old man laughed from ear to ear.

"The seventy-six horses in the village, the minimum is twenty-five, some sell for one hundred and two, not many, just a few top ones, the middle-of-the-road accounted for the majority, and each horse was more than fifty. Bar."

What Yan Lao Er didn't say was that Xue Zongqi had done his best. He and the people in the middle, Yan Lao Er, had stuffed some money. It is better to share the profit. This is called making money for everyone, and no one should be jealous.

Including the more than 4,000 taels of silver in hand, take out two copies, every family has one, and the same is the meaning of putting one in the village.

Those who eat meat eat meat, and the rest also drink some soup.

Yan's second glanced at the girl, and took the money one by one, and the aisles were soft, ah, promising!

He deliberately didn't think about the fact that he had reconciled the account with Xue Zongqi, and when he came back, he grabbed his daughter and went back and forth to calculate it five times.

One night on the kang like pancakes, he finally fell asleep, drooling from the pillow, his wife said that he talked about four thousand and one thousand in his sleep...

The first one is the total amount, and the second one is the amount of money that his family can get.

He even gnawed on his neck as silver...

Eunuch Wang took a sip of water and suppressed it.

He knew where the horses and cows in Xiao'an Village got.

Isn't that Xue Zongqi the son's cousin, who came here a while ago to send two horses to the son. At that time, he mentioned this Xiao'an village, and he heard it familiar, so he paid attention.

Later, Xiao Er came to deliver pancakes, and when he asked, it was indeed Xiao'an Village where Yan's family was located.

In the huge Yongning City, Xiaoan Village is not the only one that has fellow villagers from Qishan Mansion. Why is he willing to associate with them? At the beginning, it was Yan Er who came to do things. The villagers are down-to-earth.

Listen to what these people are saying.

This one said to buy a few more large tanks and put them in the yard for water storage, pickling vegetables, and by the way, frozen meat.

Discuss with my daughter-in-law, let’s buy a pig together with my brother’s family during the Chinese New Year, pick fatter ones, boil lard, save it, our two families can eat it for a year, and we can keep the meat and bones for ourselves. The elders, coyly said that they don’t want to go out for takeaway, they want to keep both of them to eat, the big pig’s head is arranged, and it will be offered to his father, so that the old man can eat something good over there...

There is also a person who wants to buy fishing nets, saying that it is really exciting to use Yan’s fishing nets to catch fish in summer. We are rich, and we will buy one for ourselves. We will go to catch fish every day in the future. It seems that the yard is full of sunshine...

Oh, there is another one who is more ambitious. He said that he wants to build a house with blue bricks on the outside and red bricks on the inside. all right!

The prince's ears are full of these simple and innocent "wishes".

Listening and listening, Wang Gonggong also slowly joined in, discussing with the big guys what to add to the house.

Once the money for selling the horses is paid out, the cattle and sheep will be divided immediately.

The atmosphere is more enthusiastic.

Your family came to my house, and my family came to his house. There were so many people, I wish I could grow another mouth right away.

Yan Laoer has become the most popular sweet pastry.

The whole thing was pushed away.

"Yan Er, your family must be the first one. You choose a bull and a cow? I have a lot of them..."

"Second brother Yan, how much do you sell to me or not?"

"Yan Er..."

"Yan Er..."

Even Mrs. Tian was infected and clenched her fists nervously.

Don't look at the money you get from selling horses, but compared with the cattle and sheep that are divided into labor, it still feels different.

Farmers value livestock, especially cattle.

"Father, come and help!" Yan Yu shouted.

Yan Laoer hurried out from the crowd.

"Father, I remember, you help others calculate points." Yan Yu understood her father's arrangements.

"middle!"

Yan Laoer cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me first!"

On the small second floor of the bamboo stove, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to move a pony up. There were too many people below, so it was inappropriate for him to stick his head out before people could see it. It would be better to sit lower and listen.

Good guy, just now, I don't know what happened next door, it's like boiling water.

In order to get closer to the reality, I checked the information for a long time~

Horses, especially tamed war horses, are really expensive. The upper, middle and lower here are graded according to the tea horse trade in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court would switch trade with the surrounding Fan clan every three years, and the best horses could be exchanged. For 120 catties of tea, medium horses can exchange for 70 catties of tea, and inferior horses can exchange for 50 catties of tea.

Don’t worry about the price of tea, because it’s very cheap, about tens of pennies a catty, our ancestors knew how to do business haha~

The price of a bad horse is about 10 taels and 15 taels.

The ordinary families of the ancients really couldn’t afford to raise a horse. It is a straight intestine, and it can be eaten as much as it can be fed. If you want to raise it well, you have to eat concentrated feed.

Let’s skip to the next chapter~See you in the evening~(*▽*)~
