Chapter 1226 Peacock

Xiao Shao put the carriage in the place where the carriage and horses were specially guarded at the entrance of the carriage and horses, and then led Man Bao in.

Although the carriage and horse shop is called the carriage and horse shop, most of the cars sold are scooters, and there are only a few well-made blue cloth carriages, which are very simple.

Because good carriages are made to order, who has nothing to do to make a luxury cart and sell it in a shop?

What if I can't sell it?

In addition, the rest of the place is to buy livestock.

Horses, cows, donkeys, mules, and even peacocks sent from the South, when Manbao passed by, he heard a clear chirping sound, and then the peacock opened its screen, shining like jade in the sky, Manbao stared blankly for a while, and immediately Can't walk anymore.

Xiao Shao was also stunned, and shouted, "You are so beautiful, Doctor Zhou Xiao, you are so lucky, this peacock has been here for a long time, but he just doesn't like opening the screen. No matter how funny people were before, it didn't work, so you just left. When I came over, it turned on."

Not only did it open the screen, but it also screamed at Manbao with its head tilted, then shook its big tail screen and circled half a circle in front of Manbao, showing its beauty in all directions.

Man Bao was immediately fascinated. Standing in front of the railing, he looked at the peacock and asked, "How much is this?"

Xiao Shao was startled and quickly grabbed Man Bao, "Doctor Zhou Xiao, we can't afford this."

Because the passers-by who came to watch the peacock opened its screen and glanced at the clothes on Man Bao, they didn't think Man Bao could afford it.

The steward leaning on the railing and guarding the peacock didn't mean to look down on Man Bao, and said with a smile, "Little lady wants to buy it?"

Man Bao nodded again and again, and Keke tried his best not to make a sound to disturb her, and began to calculate quietly, based on the host's past performance, how likely it was that she would record this.

The steward smiled and said, "My peacock is green jade, the most precious kind, so I won't sell it for money."

"It's rare, and naturally, it's only rare."

Man Bao began to pick up the things in the mall, her eyes sparkling, she likes to exchange rare for rare.

The steward has already continued: "For example, Yantun, Caokou, or a parental official in a locality can be a general."

Man Bao: "...Is this a rare thing?"

Guanshi said: "A rare thing is naturally a rare thing."

Man Bao said angrily: "Then you might as well say that this is for the emperor, and officials can't buy or sell. Who else can give it to you except him?"

"The emperor already has two peacocks. Although mine is not bad, it's not unusual for him. I'm afraid I won't be able to ask for an official." The steward smiled: "The little lady has no official, but Yantun or Caokou. It’s okay, my peacock was transported here from the Heman Ministry. During the period, it has crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and countless difficulties and dangers. I can guarantee that not only the capital city, but also the entire Central Plains, except for the two in the palace, and the others. There is no peacock more brilliant."

Man Bao thought to himself, don't say she doesn't have those things, even if she does, she can't change it with him.

Seeing Man Bao's attitude, Keke couldn't help whispering in her mind: "Change it, this is worth more points than a horse."

Speaking of horses, Man Bao finally thinks of horses. She reluctantly looked away from the peacock and left with a look of regret. By the way, she comforted Keke in her heart, "We don't have salt, let alone water, and it's impossible to give. He is an official."

Keke: "...Host, you should work hard and ask about the price."

Man Bao thought so too, so he said to the steward: "Then what if we have to buy it with money? How much is it worth?"

Obviously, there are many people who ask this question. The manager is used to it and smiles: "I don't want money, but I want a hundred boats full of grain."

Man Bao asked humbly, "How much food is in a boat?"

"A water boat is usually a thousand stones."

When Man Bao heard this, he immediately saluted, "Excuse me."

Then he turned around and walked away, his heart was already cracking the bill, and he replied to Keke, "Have you heard, a thousand stones, a hundred ships is a hundred thousand stones, and now I don't know what the price of grain in the capital is, but one stone should be It won't be less than one hundred and fifty cents, and the one hundred thousand stone of grain can't be bought, let's count the money."

Man Bao turned his head and asked Xiao Shao, "How do you sell millet in the capital now?"

Xiao Shao replied with a bewildered face: "Last time I went to buy it at my house, it seemed that it was 18 wen a dou."

At this moment, Man Bao still has time to sigh, "Prices in the capital are higher than those in our small places."

Then he said to Keke in his head: "Did you hear that, eighteen wen, that one stone is one hundred and eighty wen. One hundred thousand shi of grain can supply the army to set off, where can I buy so much grain? "

Keke only regretted it for a while. Anyway, the host has released precious species that he has seen over the years, but he still reminded him, "Do you want the host to go to the barbarian department in the future?"

Man Bao had studied geography with Mr. Zhuang, and yearned for the legendary places with high mountains and steep mountains, so he nodded and said, "I will go when I grow up and become more skilled. I heard that there are There are many poisonous insects and miasma, and it is not easy to pass."

So you still have to study medical skills well, so you still have to earn points to buy "patients".

Very good, back to the original point, Man Bao and Xiao Shao went to find his friend.

His friends are guys who work in the carriage and horse shop, and they are very warmly received. Because it was introduced by Xiao Shao, he first took Man Bao to see the best horse he thought, and then talked about the horse's teeth. When it comes to the horse's hooves, everyone tells Man Bao that these horses are very good horses.

"So, Doctor Zhou, do you want to have good endurance, run fast, or be gentle?"

These horses were all well groomed, their hair was well-groomed, and they ate the best soybean meal, especially one of the horses, which was brown and red, was really beautiful.

So beautiful that Man Bao couldn't help hugging its neck.

This horse is not big, only two years old. It is suitable for a young man like Man Bao. He slowly raises and cultivates feelings, and he will become an adult in a year.

The horse also seemed to like Man Bao very much, so he cupped her hand. Man Bao was even more reluctant and asked, "How much is this horse?"

The man immediately smiled and rolled his eyes, and said, "Doctor Zhou is really good at seeing. The parents of this horse are both famous horses. They can run in the races, and they run very fast. If Dr. Zhou wants it, we will only take them here. Twenty-eight gold."

That's not cheap either.

Man Bao calculated the money in his pocket, thinking that the day after tomorrow he was going to enter the palace and conspire with the little eunuch to buy some flowers and plants, so he reluctantly said: "Then which is the cheapest horse here?"

The man was stunned for a moment and said, "If Dr. Zhou thinks this one is too expensive, why don't you take a look at this one, it's not too bad, it only needs twenty-three gold."

Man Bao only glanced at it and shook his head, "No, I want the cheapest in the whole store."

Buddy and little peony:  …

Finally, the guy took Man Bao to the backyard and showed her two wilted old horses and three ponies in the stable.
