Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 64: Buying a Sick Donkey at the Cattle and Horse Market

Her tone was very certain, as if she was very familiar with this disease.

In fact, she had witnessed a similar situation in her previous life, so she could tell at a glance what disease the donkey was suffering from.

At this time, the donkey seller noticed that the two men stopped in front of his stall, and hurriedly walked up to them and greeted them enthusiastically.

After hearing what Gu Qingzhi said, the donkey shopkeeper seemed particularly enthusiastic: "Young lady, you have a good eye! This donkey is indeed sick, but I have other healthy donkeys for you to choose from. If you need anything, you can take a look."

The donkey shopkeeper didn't seem to have much attachment to the sick donkey.

He also told Gu Qingzhi that he had asked someone to check the donkey's condition and estimated that it would not last much longer.

Even the nearby butcher shop was unwilling to buy the sick donkey, fearing that it had contracted an incurable disease.

The donkey owner originally planned to take the donkey out and bury it in a few days to avoid affecting other livestock.

Gu Qingzhi listened to the description of the donkey shopkeeper and thought to herself, logically speaking, the disease the donkey had was not difficult to cure, so why did the shopkeeper make it sound so serious, as if it was a terminal illness?

However, if this situation continued, she gently tugged at the corner of Gu Yan's clothes and gave him a look, as if suggesting that he bend down.

Gu Yan didn't understand and although he felt a little confused, he still lowered his head obediently, his eyes fell on Gu Qingzhi, quietly waiting for her next move.

Gu Qingzhi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother, I have a way to cure this donkey. How about we buy it? Let's see if we can bargain with the shopkeeper and get him to give us a lower price."

As soon as Gu Yan heard it, he immediately understood his sister's intention, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

He quickly understood why his sister wanted to buy the donkey.

Although the donkey is not as tall, mighty and strong as a horse, its muscles are quite tight and powerful, making it suitable for pulling things.

Because donkeys are relatively small, their legs are shorter, which makes their "chassis" lower and more stable, so donkeys have a much greater carrying capacity than horses.

It is true that a donkey's speed cannot be compared with that of a horse, but its steady pace is important.

Although donkeys move slowly, they have amazing endurance and can carry heavy loads for long periods of time without getting tired.

Donkeys also have a very important advantage, which is that they do not have high requirements for food.

The feed required to raise donkeys is usually simple and can be said to be quite casual. Common things such as bark and leaves can keep them full.

What is more worth mentioning is that there are no specific species restrictions on the bark and leaves used as feed. In other words, as long as they can fill their stomachs, donkeys will never be picky. They are truly easy animals to raise.

If you have a donkey at home and a truck, it will be much easier to transport mountain products down the mountain or into the city in the future.

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly, glanced at Gu Qingzhi, indicating that he understood, and hinted to his sister that he could just leave the matter of buying the donkey to him.

Seeing that her brother understood her intention, Gu Qingzhi showed a faint smile on her face.

Gu Yan straightened up, pointed at the donkey that looked the most energetic, lively and healthy, and asked the donkey shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, how much is this donkey for?"

The donkey shopkeeper smiled and said flatteringly, "Sir, you really have a good eye for talent! This is the best donkey in our donkey business. Look at its spirit and energy! It is very suitable for carrying goods and people."

"I can see that you really want to buy it. How about this? Since you like it, I will give you a discount on this donkey. Others would have to pay at least 10 strings of coins. Today, I consider it a good opportunity for us to meet, so I will charge you 8 strings of coins."

Gu Qingzhi curled her lips secretly, what he said was better than what he sang, and it still cost 8 strings of cash, why didn't he go to heaven.

People who do business are all like this, praising their products to the sky.

She winked at Gu Yan, pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother, this is too expensive."

The donkey shopkeeper's smile froze. "Young lady, if you think this is too expensive, you can take a look at this donkey. This one is cheaper, only 7 guan. And this one, this one only 6 guan."

Gu Qingzhi took a look and found that you get what you pay for. The two behind were not as energetic as the one in the front.

Gu Yan pretended to be embarrassed.

When the donkey shopkeeper saw that there was hope, he was overjoyed. He had not been able to sell a donkey in the past ten days or half a month. It would be great if he could sell one today.

He had had enough of this remote place. He wanted to go to places like Jiangzhou and Hongzhou, where there were many people buying donkeys.

He pretended to be embarrassed and gave in. "Young Master, since you really want this donkey, I can give it to you for 5 guan plus 500 wen."

After he said this, Gu Yan had an approximate price in his mind and felt more confident in getting this deal.

Gu Yan took Gu Qingzhi's hand and pretended to leave, "Boss, let's take a look at this."

Gu Qingzhi was dragged away by him, unwillingly, and she whispered, "Brother, you said you would buy me a donkey, why didn't you buy it for me?"

Gu Yan coaxed her in a low voice, "Sister, I didn't bring enough money. Can we go another day? I will definitely buy you the biggest and most majestic donkey another day."

The brother and sister talked as they walked, and soon they were out of the range of the donkey trail.

Gu Qingzhi looked back at the donkey reluctantly, her eyes moved around the sick donkey, and said to Gu Yan innocently, "Brother, isn't there another one?"

"That donkey is sick and there's no way it can be saved. No one dares to eat the meat of a sick donkey. It's useless to buy it back..."

The owner of the donkey shop was already disappointed to see them leaving, but after secretly overhearing the conversation between the brother and sister, he suddenly had an idea.

This donkey is dying of illness. Even the butchers dare not take it in, fearing that it may have some infectious disease. Just as the brother and sister said, it is about to become a waste of money. If I can take advantage of this opportunity to trick the brother and sister into selling this sick donkey to them...

The more the donkey shopkeeper thought about it, the happier it became, and he felt very happy.

"My dear, this donkey is just sick. It can be cured with treatment. Besides, this donkey has just reached adulthood. It can still work for a long time after being cured. If you buy it, you will definitely not suffer any loss."

Gu Qingzhi felt speechless as she watched the donkey shopkeeper lying with his eyes open.
