Master Chen thought for a moment before saying, "I know the situation outside. How about this? I won't give you a discount. When I settle the bill, I'll give you some beans and fertilizer that your mules need."
Everyone was very happy after hearing what Master Chen said.
"Grandpa Chen, thank you. You really think of others." Yun Yiyi praised sweetly.
"Grandpa Chen, you really helped us a lot." Xie Zirui said happily.
"Master Chen, thank you."
"Master Chen, thank you very much."
After hearing everyone’s thanks, Master Chen waved his hand.
"It's no big deal. Let's just go ahead and choose the remaining mules."
"Okay, Master Chen, I'd like to trouble you to help us take a look at the other mules we picked out." Old Man Wu said politely.
So, Master Chen followed Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu to carefully examine the mules they had picked out. Master Chen could see that Butcher Yun and his team had really put a lot of effort into their selection.
The mules picked out by Butcher Yun and his men were all very good, but after Master Chen finished quoting the price, he and Old Man Wu still eliminated three mules whose prices were more than thirty taels of silver.
At this time, everyone wants to save money to buy food and heating supplies. It's better to save as much as possible on the price of the mule, Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu thought involuntarily.
The remaining nine mules were all priced around twenty-five taels each. This way, I could explain the situation to everyone when I returned to the village.
After all twelve mules were selected, Master Chen, together with Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu, moved all the mules into two sheds.
After everyone finished their work, their faces and bodies were covered in sweat. It was okay if they didn't move in this weather, but they would sweat as soon as they moved.
"Master Chen, let's go and check out the carriage later." Yun the butcher asked, tilting his head.
"Okay, I'll go and choose one now. The donkey cart carriages are new, all similar in style and size, and there are enough of them, fifteen in total."
Master Chen led everyone to another row of wooden houses.
"We're here. The rooms in front are used to store carriages. I'll open the door and we'll go take a look." After Master Chen said this, he opened the doors of the three wooden houses side by side.
Then, Master Chen took everyone to the first wooden house.
After entering the wooden house, Yun Yiyi found that the house was very dusty and there were cobwebs hanging in the corners. Then, Yun Yiyi looked towards the middle of the house, where some carriages were piled up randomly.
The carriage was covered in dust, and its original color could no longer be seen. Yun Yiyi walked forward and wiped the dust off the carriage with her hand. She could tell that the carriage was new and had not been used by anyone.
Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu lifted an empty carriage down from the road and placed it on the open space nearby. The carriage was not small, and was larger than the average carriage.
Butcher Yun lifted the curtain and looked inside the carriage. It was quite spacious. Even if some food was put in, it could accommodate two or three adults to sleep. It was quite spacious, so Butcher Yun slowly backed out.
He touched the wood used to make the carriage. Although it was not a famous wood, the material used was very solid and strong.
Master Chen waited until Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu had finished their inspection before asking, "This carriage was custom-made. It's larger than the average carriage. You can see the materials used; they're very solid."
"Usually, when we take it to other states, the carriage alone costs two and a half taels of silver. However, we need to transport it there ourselves."
"Since you bought a large quantity today, I will give you two taels of silver for one carriage. This price is very affordable." Master Chen said sincerely.
Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu exchanged glances. "The price Master Chen quoted is acceptable, and indeed not high."
"Okay, Master Chen, thank you for giving us such a big discount." Old Man Wu said gratefully.
"It's mainly because you want a large quantity at once that I can give you a discount. This room has nine carriages. We'll go to the next room and count six more, making a total of fifteen."
After listening to Master Chen's advice, Yun the Butcher and his men cleared out the carriages one by one and carried them to the door. Of course, they also took the opportunity to check the carriages, which were all new and undamaged.
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui also wanted to help, but were driven aside by Yun the Butcher to rest.
It took more than half an hour for Yun the Butcher and his men to finally lift all nine carriages to the open space outside the house.
Butcher Yun looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was almost at its zenith. He knew it was almost noon, so he asked everyone to go to the wooden house next door and continue carrying the carriage out.
Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu selected six carriages, and Master Chen helped to carry them out. In less than twenty minutes, they had finished moving all six carriages.
"There are five mule-drawn carriages in the room. You can take a look and we will continue moving." Master Chen said after taking a breath.
"Okay, Brother Wu. Let's continue moving." Butcher Yun said, wiping the sweat from his face.
"Let's go, keep moving," Old Man Wu said weakly. He hadn't eaten breakfast, and now it was already noon. He was hot, thirsty, and tired. Old Man Wu really wanted to give up.
With the help of Master Chen, Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu moved all the carriages out.
"Brother Wu, this carriage is much bigger than the one pulled by a donkey. I like it." Butcher Yun patted the mule carriage happily.
"This carriage is specially equipped for mules. Mules are very strong, so we deliberately made the carriage a little bigger. And mules are also suitable for long-distance travel." Master Chen explained carefully.
"It's very good, Master Chen, I like this size, it can hold a lot of things." Old Man Wu said in surprise.
"Even when the weather gets cold, two adults can sleep comfortably with a child." Yun the Butcher continued.
"Dad, the carriage pulled by this mule is much bigger than I imagined." Yun Yiyi said in surprise.
"Yes, this way we don't have to worry about having no place to put our things." said Yun the Butcher.
"There are five new carriages and two old carriages in the room at the very edge. Do you like any of them?" Master Chen said, pointing to the last room.
"Okay, let's go and take a look." After saying that, Yun the Butcher took the lead and walked to the last room.
When Yun the Butcher entered the house, the first thing he saw was the two oversized carriages in the corner. Yun the Butcher estimated that they were one-third larger than the carriages next to them.
As soon as he saw the size of the carriage, Yun the Butcher was attracted to it. He walked over and wiped off a small piece of dust from the carriage. The wood used in the carriage was better than that of new carriages. However, a closer look revealed that this carriage was old.
There are many small scratches on the wood outside the carriage. It affects the appearance, but it does not affect the use. The wood of the carriage is also made of a whole piece of wood, and the whole carriage looks very solid.
