Apocalypse overlord Yun Yiyi had just perished together with a group of high-level zombies. The next moment she opened her eyes, she had become a six-year-old chubby girl. What now?
This wasn...
Butcher Yun leaned his head to look inside the carriage. The interior was very spacious and the four sides of the carriage were sealed with a whole piece of wooden board. Butcher Yun knocked on it with his hand and found that the material was very solid.
Yun the butcher came out and walked around the carriage. He found that although the carriage was old, it was still usable.
"Brother Wu, come and take a look at this old carriage." Butcher Yun greeted Old Man Wu.
Old man Wu walked over and walked around the carriage.
"Brother Yun, although this carriage is old, the materials used are very solid and it is completely usable. Moreover, this carriage is much larger than the others."
"Yes, Brother Wu, I just took a look and both of these old carriages are good. How about we each take one?" Butcher Yun asked in a low voice.
"Haha, we think the same thing. With this larger carriage, I can put less stuff in my carriage. However, I estimate that the price of this old carriage may be more expensive than the new one." Old Man Wu said as he approached Yun the Butcher.
"It's okay if it's a little more expensive, Brother Wu. The materials used here are much better than those used in new carriages."
"Okay, as long as you are mentally prepared for this."
"Brother Yun, let's carry it out quickly, it will be hotter soon." Old Man Wu said loudly.
"I understand, Brother Wu, come and give me a hand." Butcher Yun also replied loudly.
Soon, Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu carried the carriage to the open space outside the house.
"Dad, are you and Grandpa Wu tired? Do you want to take a break?" Yun Yiyi shouted loudly in the next room.
"No need, Yiyi, you and Zirui can take a rest. We have to work as soon as possible." After Yun the butcher shouted, he and Old Man Wu continued to go into the house to move the carriage.
"Yiyi, Zirui, I brought some water, come and have a drink." Master Chen suddenly shouted at the door.
"Here we are, Grandpa Chen." Yun Yiyi said and ran out of the house with Xie Zirui.
Master Chen took a bowl, filled it with water and handed it to Yun Yiyi. He then filled another bowl with water and handed it to Xie Zirui.
"Grandpa Chen, how do you know I'm thirsty?" Yun Yiyi asked curiously while holding the bowl.
"Grandpa Chen, thank you for giving us water." Xie Zirui said loudly.
"Haha, the weather is so hot, and you two have been running for the whole morning. You must be thirsty. Drink it quickly. This is the boiled water I made this morning and cooled it down. You won't have diarrhea if you drink it." Master Chen said with concern.
"You two come and have some water. After you finish, I'll work with you and we'll be done soon." Master Chen greeted them quickly when he saw Yun the Butcher and the others coming out.
"Thank you so much for troubling us today and for bringing us water." Old Man Wu said embarrassedly.
"Don't be polite, drink up. There's a well in my yard that was dug by the government a while ago. It was quite deep, so there's always water. The water used in the cattle and horse market is from this well."
"Thanks to this well, otherwise we would have to rely on transporting water to Niuma Market, which would be very time-consuming and labor-intensive." Master Chen said with emotion.
"Yes, the Niuma Market feeds so many cows, horses, donkeys, and mules, and a lot of water is needed every day. Thanks to the water in the well, it is much more convenient." Yun the Butcher also sighed.
"Yes, it really saves a lot of trouble. There is no water in the mountains outside now. If we are short of water, we also plan to buy it from the government."
"In the past, there was no shortage of water everywhere, so who would buy water to drink?" said Old Man Wu depressedly.
"Our county is not too far from the river, so water resources are quite abundant. Otherwise, the people in the city wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer."
"Although we need to buy water, the price set by the government is within everyone's affordability. So, I think it's a good idea to have clear prices like this." said Yun the Butcher.
"Our county magistrate has been here for five years and has done a lot for the people of the county. We don't want him to leave here and take up a position somewhere else."
"If it weren't for the good management of the county magistrate, most of the people in our county would have fled the famine by now." Master Chen said thankfully.
"So you are lucky to have met a responsible and good official." Yun the Butcher said enviously.
"Okay, let's stop talking about that and get back to work. Standing under this sun, I feel like I'm being roasted by fire." Butcher Yun said, wiping the sweat from his face.
Yun the Butcher and his colleagues continued to work, while Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui continued to rest.
After more than twenty minutes, everyone moved out the remaining carriages.
"Master Chen, what is the price of this mule-pulled carriage? And what are the prices of these two old carriages?" asked Yun the butcher.
"We usually sell this carriage for four and a half ounces of silver. I'll give it to you for four ounces of silver."
Master Chen looked at the two oversized old carriages again.
"These two old carriages were discarded by the wealthy families in the city. They customized two new carriages from me and sold the old ones to us."
"If they were new, the price of these two carriages would be exorbitant. Even though they are old, I believe you have noticed that the wood used is very good and the materials used are generous. Although the appearance is not very good, it does not affect its use at all."
"How about this, I'll give you six taels of silver for each of these old carriages. What do you two think?" asked Master Chen.
Butcher Yun glanced at Old Man Wu, who nodded.
"Okay, Master Chen, then six taels of silver each. I know we are definitely getting a bargain at this price. So I still want to thank you." Yun the Butcher said excitedly.
"Okay, that's settled then. There's not much I can do to help you, so I can only do what I can." Master Chen said embarrassedly.
"Grandpa Chen, you have helped us a lot. Thank you." Yun Yiyi shook Master Chen's arm.
"Grandpa Chen, you are such a good person." Xie Zirui happily gave Master Chen a good person card.
"Haha, as long as the children are fine, that's enough." Master Chen said with deep emotion.
Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu were also very happy, knowing that they had met a kind-hearted person. This was a rare opportunity.
"We can now go and harness the donkey to the cart. But do you have enough people to drive the cart?" Master Chen suddenly thought of a question.
Even the butcher Yun and his men couldn't drive so many cars back. So what should we do? Master Chen thought with a headache.
"Master Chen, don't worry. Many people from our village will be coming soon. There will definitely be people to help drive these donkey carts and mule carts."
"That's good. It seems I was overthinking it. Let's go and hitch up the wagon now. Once the wagon is hitched up, tie the donkey's rope to the fence."
