Chapter 294 Buying a Horse
Chapter 294 Buying a Horse
During this visit, Mr. Jiang did not give a reply, but he left the album.
Hang Shuheng was not in a hurry. It was fishing! As long as there was bait, there was no need to worry about the fish not taking the bait.
It was obvious that Mr. Jiang was very interested in those drawings, and what happened next was just a matter of time, which he believed would not take too long.
After we get back, we can arrange for people to clean up that area.
After returning to the county town, he just got off the carriage in front of Jubao Pavilion and happened to meet Wang Jin who was passing by.
"Detective Wang." Hang Shuheng shouted.
Here, Wang Jin also noticed him, "Hang Tongsheng, what a coincidence."
"It's quite a coincidence." Hang Shuheng thought of the things that Song Ning was helping Aunt Wang with, and looked at Wang Jin with a meaningful look.
Wang Jin was a little puzzled. Why did he feel that the other person's eyes were a little strange? He was clearly smiling, but he felt as if there was a thorn in his back.
After a few words of small talk, they parted ways. Wang went towards the government office, while Hang Shuheng went into the Jubao Pavilion.
Seeing his cheerful face, Zhou Huan knew that this trip must have yielded a lot of results. "Is this successful?"
"Not yet, but it's only a matter of time." Hang Shuheng sat down to drink tea and said confidently.
"As long as you have a plan in mind."
Hang Shuheng had lunch in the county town before returning to the village, and Zhou Yin was still the driver.
Sitting in the carriage, Hang Shuheng couldn't help but think that maybe he should buy a horse to pull the carriage, and then train someone to be a coachman, so that it would be much more convenient to go anywhere in the future.
When Xiao Yun and others sent Yang Yang back, they brought a carriage. When they left, they left the carriage behind. Now it is still idle in the backyard! The family only needs to buy a horse.
He did what he said. Before leaving the city, Hang Shuheng asked Zhou Yin to change direction and go to the livestock market.
He didn't know much about cows, donkeys, etc., but he knew a little about horses.
The merchant who sold him the mule last time saw him from a distance and turned his face away, pretending not to see him.
I naively thought that as long as I didn't look at him, he wouldn't be able to notice me.
But sometimes, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come. Hang Shuheng hardly looked at any of the houses and just walked straight towards them.
"Boss, do you have any good-looking horses? Bring them over to me for a look."
The boss turned around reluctantly and forced a dry smile, "Hey! Sir, you want to see horses? We don't have any good quality horses, why don't you go to other places to have a look?"
Seeing this, Zhou Yin, who was following beside him, twitched his mouth and glanced at Hang Shuheng. It was obvious that the boss didn't seem willing to pay attention to him.
Hang Shuheng didn't feel embarrassed at all. He raised his hand and pointed at a black horse in the stable and said, "I think that black horse is good. Bring it over here and have a look."
Just now, he fell in love with the place at first sight from a distance, but it wasn't that he had to come to this place out of necessity.
The boss looked back and saw that the man had a very sharp eye. The black horse was the best one he had, and he took a fancy to it.
Hang Shuheng saw the boss hesitate and asked with a smile: "Why? Does the horse have an owner? Or does the horse not belong to you? If not, I will go and ask the seller of the horse."
The boss curled his lips and reluctantly went over to lead the black horse over. "I spent a lot of money to buy this horse. If you like it, you can take it away for forty taels. I don't have a carriage to take you."
Zhou Yin found it a little funny to see that the boss had no water in his offer, and acted as if he didn't care whether you wanted to buy it or not. Forty taels for this horse was just the right price.
Hang Shuheng didn't say anything, he just looked around the black horse, then went back to the front and touched the black horse's face.
The dark horse seemed to dislike being touched by strangers and shook his face, which made Hang Shuheng laugh. "Hey, you are being arrogant again." After saying that, he slapped the horse in the face, and the dark horse immediately calmed down.
This action frightened the boss, "Sir, are you going to buy it or not? If you don't, don't scare my horse."
"Buy it. If not to buy a horse, why would I come here?" Hang Shuheng readily took out forty taels of silver to complete the transaction.
Even after they led the horses away, the boss was still holding the forty-liang silver note, somewhat stunned.
So refreshing...
If he had known that the man would be so straightforward today, he should have asked for a higher price. What a mistake! What a mistake.
After leaving the livestock market, Zhou Yin casually said, "I didn't expect that Hang Tongsheng also knows how to look at horses."
Hang Shuheng shook his head and said, "I don't understand. I just think this black horse looks energetic and pleasing to the eye."
Zhou Yin: ...
Just pretend!
Since they had bought a horse, there was no need to take a carriage back. Hang Shuheng asked Zhou Yin to go directly back to Jubao Pavilion, while he himself rode out of the city and returned to the village.
After buying the horses, the most precious ones besides Yangyang were Shuisheng.
Yesterday, Song Ning was so happy that he not only gave the young men some hard work pay, but also gave them a day off.
They didn't start work today, so a group of young men went to the river to catch fish, and they had a good harvest.
When Hang Shuheng came back on horseback, Shuisheng, Chen Laoer and others had just delivered fish. Everyone was surprised to see him coming back on such a tall horse.
"Wow! Daddy is riding a big horse, so cool." Yangyang and Chen Xiaobao clapped their hands and cheered.
Shuisheng's eyes were glued to the black horse, unable to move away. "Uncle Hengzi, is this our horse?"
He wanted to reach out and touch it, but the horse was a bad-tempered one. It turned its face away and refused to let him touch it, so he could only pull his hand back in embarrassment.
"Well, we have a carriage in the backyard. It will be more convenient to have a carriage when we go out in the future."
"Okay, now we have our own carriage." In the future, when we go out with a carriage, we no longer have to drive a slow ox cart and be covered in dust by other people's carriages.
Hang Shuheng handed the reins to Uncle Chai Wu, "Uncle, can you take care of the horse?"
"Don't worry, sir. I will be responsible for taking care of this horse from now on!" Uncle Chai stroked the black horse's sideburns. Perhaps sensing the aura of Uncle Chai who had killed many animals, the black horse seemed extremely docile. "This horse is of good quality." His eyesight is also good.
Shuisheng looked at the black horse being so docile in front of Uncle Chai Wu and felt that he was looked down upon by the horse. It turned out that this horse knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong!
"Hey, this horse has become a spirit."
You behave particularly docilely in front of people with strong aura, and act like you are out of your reach in front of honest people.
If you have a horse at home, you need to build a stable. It happened that the young men had nothing to do today, so they started to work enthusiastically. In just one afternoon, they built a stable in the backyard.
After Uncle Chai took the horse for a walk, he led it to the stable and tied it up.
