After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

"The horse owner is so familiar with the horse on the other side, could it be..."

Bai Qingyun's good impression of the horse market was ruined by the opposing horse owner. This time he learned his lesson and became more cautious.

You must know that in places like this, the neighboring households may have colluded with each other.

He deliberately used high prices to drive away buyers, and then after the customers left, he quickly took them to his own stable, listed the other party's shortcomings, and highlighted his own advantages.

People who came to buy horses felt that they had met a conscientious merchant and happily paid their money.

However, he didn't know that these horse owners had started to divide the money secretly, and might even tease the buyer during the meal about how much trust he had in him, and said that he would definitely come to him again if he wanted to buy horses in the future.

Such scams are also common in places where expensive items are sold.

Facing Bai Qingyun's suspicion, the horse owner did not show any sign of panic. Instead, he chuckled and then lowered his voice and said to Bai Qingyun, "To be honest, young lady, the father of the black horse... is my horse!"

After saying this, he looked at the people in the Bai family and felt a little embarrassed.

Wow, it turns out that real business wars don’t involve any big noise, but are silent and a war without the smoke of gunpowder!

The horse owner was also smart. He knew that the people of the Bai family suspected that he was in cahoots with the other side. If he didn't expose the tricks he had set up behind their backs, the people of the Bai family would not easily do business with him.

Only by putting yourself on the opposite side can you make this deal.

As for whether the news will be leaked, compared with the transaction, it is not important.

The Bai family finally bought two horses, one male and one female, both adult horses, at a reasonable price. They added two taels of silver to custom-make a carriage, and the final transaction price was sixty-two taels of silver.

The specifications of the carriages are different and the prices are also different. The Bai family only ordered a basic carriage without considering comfort. The space is large enough. Not only does it have a separate storage space, but it can also hold beds and quilts, so two people can squeeze together and sleep.

More importantly, in the independent and enclosed space of the carriage, Bai Qingyun can enter and exit the space freely, so it would be more reasonable even if he wanted to take something out.

After all, only family members know what is really in the carriage!

It’s a pity that the carriage has to be custom-made and there is no ready-made one. The owner of the horse is very nice. Knowing that the Bai family has to travel the next day, he promised to deliver the goods early tomorrow morning.

After finishing the business with the Bai family, the horse owner closed the shop and went to find an acquaintance to order a carriage. He bought two horses at once, but he was a big customer and the owner did not dare to neglect him.

Bai Qingyun walked towards the stable. He knew that besides breed, the most important thing about a horse is its temperament. The nobler the breed of the horse, the weirder its temper.

Bai Qingyun had no experience in taming a wild horse, so he could only drop a few drops of spiritual spring water into the horse's mouth while feeding it hay.

As expected, when the horse smelled the fragrance of the spiritual spring water, it immediately lowered its head and rolled up the grass in Bai Qingyun's hand with its mouth. Seeing this, the other stallion beside it also hurriedly broke free from the reins in Bai Qinghai's hand and ran towards Bai Qingyun.

The mare knew that the other horse was trying to snatch the food from her, so she ate it all up in one swift motion, not leaving even a single straw for the other horse.

Seeing this, Bai Qingyun also handed Bai Qinghai a handful of hay dripped with spiritual spring water, which helped to stabilize the stallion that was about to lose control.

After the two horses finished eating the grass, they followed the Bai family obediently. Bai's father had followed Bai Qingyun to the mountains to hunt many times, so he didn't need to guess to know that it was his youngest son who used some tricks to make the horses much more obedient without much effort.

Everyone led their horses back to the inn to settle down, and then they leisurely strolled around the market in Sishui County.

As expected, the city was full of shops and was not affected by the chaos in Bingzhou Prefecture at all. However, it was also due to the fact that the magistrate of Sishui County acted decisively and restricted the conditions for entering the city.

If not for this, people who came here to escape would rush forward just by seeing the grain shops operating normally on the street.

I'm afraid that the grain prices in Sishui County are going to experience another ups and downs. Grain prices are related to people's livelihood, so the government will naturally not let it go wrong easily.

Passing by several grain stores, you can see people from Dayang Village. It seems that food shortage can really magnify people's sense of insecurity.

The Bai family does not need to buy food. They just need to wait until the carriage is completed tomorrow morning, and there will be no shortage of food inside.

However, the Bai family had not had a good meal for so many days. They had already eaten the wild boar jerky in the morning. The Bai family did not have the habit of eating salted fish, so they were hungry and had to wait until they entered the city to eat.

There are more restaurants here than in Baiyang Town, and they are also larger. It was already past dinner time, so everyone found a place with few families, ordered a few home-cooked dishes, and sat around to eat.

Bai Qingyun picked up a piece of Dongpo pork for Xiao Yan. He didn't know whether the little girl liked it or not. He just said, "Eat it. We still have to travel a long way and there won't be any food as good as this one!"

Xiao Yan started to feel uneasy after entering the city. Bai Qingyun was following him, so he could easily notice it.

The girl's thoughts were easy to understand. She was uneasy and afraid of the question Bai Qingyun would ask her at the beginning: Are you willing to find a good family and live a stable life in the future?

In the girl's eyes, Bai Qingyun is her safe haven and her safe house. Being with Bai Qingyun, she can slowly forget that night and live a calm and self-sustaining life.

Although Bai Qingyun did not understand his significance to the girl, he knew that Xiao Yan was resistant to his leaving the Bai family, so he did not mention it again after entering Sishui County.

Just by hearing that they had to hurry on their way, the two of them understood what was going on.

Xiao Yan understood what Bai Qingyun meant and picked up a piece of braised pork. The pork was fat and lean and the color was tempting. He ate it with his little mouth full of oil and was very happy.

They were also on the road, and the food on the road was very monotonous. People didn't know much about Xiaoyan's eating. Seeing the little girl eating happily, Bai's mother hurriedly picked up a piece and continued.

If she likes to eat meat, then it couldn't be easier. It is now easy for the Bai family to support a little girl who loves to eat meat.

Regardless of the consequences, he picked up a piece for everyone in the family. However, Bai's mother herself didn't like greasy food and only liked to eat light vegetables.

It’s just that vegetables are hard to come by in this season, and their prices are even higher than meat. Ordinary restaurants may not sell the vegetables after collecting them, but only keep them as favors or for their own consumption.

Bai's mother only drank a bowl of light bone soup and ate a few bites of vegetables, then stopped. Most of the time, she picked up dishes for her family and watched them eat happily, as if she was eating her favorite dishes.

The Bai family was also extremely hungry. In the end, there was not a single dish left. They finished all the dishes and almost didn’t have enough to eat. Bai Qingyun stopped Bai’s mother from ordering more dishes and ordered two plates of dessert and two pots of tea.
