After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Chapter 260 Owning an Ox Cart

Doctor Deng carried her inside and explained, "We sell all kinds of things here, so many people come here."

"Especially after the snowstorm, there are more things here and they are cheaper, so more people come here."

"What are the various things that can be sold?" Mu Baobao didn't understand.

Doctor Deng did not hide it from her, "People, things."

"Anything that can be sold legally can be bought in the slave market."

He added, "The hard market sells mainly slaves of all kinds."

Perhaps because she had seen so much of the village's happenings since she was little, Mu Baobao accepted this kind of thing well. "Is that so?"

It turns out there are so many things to sell here.

Doctor Deng was relieved to see that she was fine. "There are a lot of animals for sale here. We can take our time choosing."

As soon as he entered the slave market, Mu Baobao saw more people.

Noisy.

The stalls here are not placed directly outside, but each has its own house, and each house is of a different size.

In front of these houses there is an enclosed empty area, in which several men and women in poor clothes stand for the onlookers to watch.

There was a platform not far away, on which were also many people standing, and there were even more people below the platform, talking about something from time to time.

"The slaves this time are pretty good. I plan to buy a few female slaves to take back."

"After this snowstorm, many families sold their children. Some families even sold their entire families to survive."

"I'm planning to take this opportunity to buy a few more slaves. Slaves aren't human beings anyway, so I can do whatever I want with them after I buy them."

Mu Baobao looked at these curiously, and asked Doctor Deng something from time to time: "Master, why are these people standing outside?"

Doctor Deng explained, "They were sold as slaves."

"These slaves are of relatively good quality, so they are placed outside by stall owners to attract customers."

He warned, "Baby, you can't have any sympathy for the slaves."

"In every sense, slaves are not human beings. They are the private property of their masters, and their life and death are determined by their masters."

In this regard, he must explain it clearly to the baby and not let her have any undue sympathy.

There must be rules between masters and servants, and servants must never be allowed to cross the bottom line.

Mu Baobao seemed to understand, "I have remembered everything Master said."

Doctor Deng touched her head and said with a smile, "You are such a good baby."

After Dr. Deng let Mu Baobao get familiar with the place, he found a donor.

"Guests, what would you like to buy?" The donor bowed slightly and said politely, "We can buy anything here."

"Of course, there is nothing that cannot be sold."

Doctor Deng first explained to Mu Baobao what a donor was, and then he said to the donor, "We want to buy an ox cart."

"I want a better bullock cart."

"I do have some connections. If you dare to pass off inferior goods as genuine ones, or do things you shouldn't do, you won't be able to stay in this town anymore."

The donor could see that he was no ordinary person and kept saying, "Please rest assured, old man, I will never do anything that I shouldn't do."

He led Doctor Deng and Mu Baobao inside and said, "Speaking of ox carts, you two came at the perfect time. There are quite a lot of people selling cattle these days."

“Several of the cattle were in very good condition and the prices were not high.”

Doctor Deng nodded, "We don't need the best. We need the kind that farmers can use to plow the land."

The donor understood, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Please come this way, both of you. Someone just sold a plowing ox a few days ago. It's a newly grown ox."

Doctor Deng and Mu Baobao followed him to one of the houses.

The house was well built, and the slaves standing outside were of better quality.

The donor greeted him familiarly: "Old Lin, guests are here."

"They are two customers who want to buy an oxcart."

"I remember you bought a newly grown oxen a few days ago. Pull it out and have a look."

Lao Lin is a middle-aged man with a very kind look. When he smiles, there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which makes him look even kinder.

“There is such a cow.”

He invited Doctor Deng and Mu Baobao to sit down, and then ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks. "You two should have some tea and something to eat first. I will bring the cow over now."

Doctor Deng nodded and said, "You go and take care of it."

He took a piece of cake and handed it to Mu Baobao in a gentle manner, "Baby, try the cakes here. If you like it, we'll go buy some later."

Mu Baobao first thanked him, then took the cake and slowly started eating it.

This cake has a hint of tea fragrance and is a bit sweet. It's quite delicious.

she likes.

After a while, Lao Lin brought a cow.

The cow was too big to fit into the house, so it was tied outside.

Doctor Deng walked out holding the wooden baby.

When Mu Baobao saw the cow, he suddenly didn't think the cake in his hand was delicious anymore.

She exclaimed and looked at the cow with sparkling eyes.

This is a newly grown yellow cattle, and its fur and other aspects are all very good.

It pawed the ground with its front hooves and made a humming sound through its nose.

"Master, are we going to buy this cow?" asked Mu Baobao.

Doctor Deng walked over to check the cow's condition. "Not necessarily."

"We have to see if the cow is good and other aspects before we decide whether to buy it."

Mu Baobao didn’t quite understand, but she was very obedient, so she just said “oh”.

She reached out and touched the cow's back.

The ox rubbed its head against her legs, as if it liked her very much.

"Strange!" Old Lin touched his chin, a look of surprise on his face. "This yellow ox has quite a temper. It usually doesn't treat people well."

"I didn't expect that this yellow bull really likes the little girl."

Mu Baobao knew what was going on and touched the ox again.

The ox grunted as if it was saying something.

Mu Baobao understood what was said. It turned out that the scalper was very unhappy about being sold by his original home, so he was not nice to the boss.

"This ox is quite good." Doctor Deng patted the ox and asked Lao Lin, "I also want a bicycle frame, a slightly better one. How much is the total price?"

Lao Lin rarely met such a straightforward buyer, and he was very honest. "The total is twelve taels."

"Old man, this is my lowest price. This ox has just reached adulthood. There are no problems in any way. The frame is also good."

Doctor Deng said, "Ten taels of silver."

"We are all straightforward people. Now the ox and the frame are worth ten taels of silver."

Lao Lin thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, ten taels is ten taels. It's better than not being able to sell it at all."

It's freezing and snowy now, so the price he charges is still relatively cheap. He can make two taels of silver in total, which is already good.

The two parties exchanged money and received the goods.

Before Mu Baobao could fully come to her senses, her family owned an ox cart.

Looking at the assembled ox cart, she blinked hard.

"Master, does my family have an ox cart now?"

Doctor Deng held her in his arms and sat on the ox cart, letting her feel it. "Yes, this is your family's ox cart."

Wooden baby walked back and forth in the ox cart, touching here and there.
