Chapter 76 Meeting the escort leader at the desert inn

"You want another 100 taels?"

Several soldiers looked at the bicycles in frustration: "We don't have that much silver."

Gan Fanren shook his head: "One hundred taels of silver per bicycle, so many bicycles need 1,000 taels of silver. You don't have it, and neither do I. You think too highly of me."

"You mean one tael?"

Gan Fanren shook his head again: "One tael of silver is too little, ten taels."

Ten taels of silver, this price is not cheap for ordinary people, even at this price, there are still several soldiers who can't afford it.

But the leader of the team can still afford it: "I want one."

"I want one too."

"I want one too."

Ten bicycles, in a blink of an eye, only three are left.

Some people are still hesitating whether to buy it.

The price is really expensive, and it is a bit extravagant for them, but this bike is so practical, it does not require fodder, and it is not tiring. You can also carry things on a daily basis. If you miss it, you don’t know where you can buy it again in the future.

They are a little distressed, looking at the bikes with a struggled face.

Gan Tian is very excited.

[Ten bikes, seven were sold in the blink of an eye, and this is not well promoted. If it is in a crowded place, it should be easy to make a profit.]

Gan Fanren is also optimistic about the prospects of bicycles.

From his daughter's voice, there is still room for upgrading bicycles in the future. The higher the level of the bicycle, the higher the price.

One bicycle makes more money than selling ten stone of rice.

The soldiers who didn't buy a bicycle hesitated for only one night before deciding to buy one. They touched the bicycles and couldn't let go of them.

The rich businessman who bought the wooden wheel cart yesterday came over again and wanted to buy a bicycle.

"This bicycle is much better than the wooden wheel cart. Although it doesn't have any patterns and can't be used to pull goods, the body of the bicycle is made of iron."

The rich businessman looked at the bicycle and regretted buying the wooden wheel cart yesterday.

"If you think it's expensive, you can return the wooden wheel cart to me and we can exchange it."

Although the bicycle is good, it is not as convenient as the wooden wheel cart after all, and it is too conspicuous.

One person riding one is too conspicuous.

They are still far away from the capital, and it would be bad if some people covet it.

After hearing Gan Fanren's words, the rich businessman decisively chose to return the wooden wheelbarrow. Although the wooden wheelbarrow was practical, it was not presentable.

If it was not compared with the bicycle, it would be rare, but once it was put together with the bicycle, it was not good enough. Merchants pay the most attention to their reputation and naturally do not want to be looked down upon.

The wooden wheelbarrow was returned after only one day in the hands of the rich businessman.

Li Zhi was quite happy to see the tricycle returned.

He touched the tricycle: "Old man, you are back again, hahaha."

He connected the cart he modified with the tricycle. Although it was a little difficult to control, it could hold more things.

After seeing the bicycle, Gongsun Yue was unwilling to ride the tricycle. He insisted on riding a bicycle and going with everyone.

Gongsun Yue's appearance was extraordinary and attracted people's attention. Now riding such a car, he was like a walking human advertising machine.

When leaving Jianan Pass, Gan Fanren had earned more than five hundred taels.

As soon as they left the pass, Tang Shi's people left.

To express his gratitude, Gan Fanren gave each of them two taels of silver.

Escorting Gan Fanren was originally a task assigned by the general. They didn't expect to get paid. Seeing Gan Fanren gave them silver, everyone smiled a little more.

"Sir Gan, when you come to Jianan Pass in the future, please come to find us brothers. We will definitely treat you with good wine and meat."

Without someone to escort them, they acted much more low-key, and no longer paraded through the city with many bicycles as before.

They put away the bicycles and pretended that they only had one bicycle. If anyone inquired about it, they would make all kinds of excuses, saying that it was a gift from a friend.

Gan Fanren speculated that the bicycle worth ten taels was worth fifty or sixty taels. Gan Tian felt particularly happy watching the money coming in.

Outside Jianan Pass was a wasteland. It would take another three to five days to get from this wasteland to the next pass. There were no towns in between, only a few houses.

Although Gan Fanren and his group were many, they still felt a little unsafe in such a desolate place. Fortunately, they found an inn.

Everyone had been very busy during this period, and finally they had some free time. Gan Fanren generously rented an inn for three days.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period. Let's take a good rest and continue our journey in three days."

"Great."

Gan Huaibi couldn't help but jump up and happily spun around while hugging Gan Tian.

"Sister, did you hear that? We finally don't have to rush."

​​He didn't hate rushing, he just hated reciting while rushing.

Reciting was too painful.

He didn't understand why people had to recite while they were alive. Fortunately, he could finally take a good rest.

Gan Huaizhong also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, I can finally be quiet and read books well."

"Brother, how can you say such things? Aren't you pushing me into the fire pit?"

Gan Huaibi looked resentful. Did he offend his eldest brother somewhere? Otherwise, why was his eldest brother targeting him like this? As

soon as the elder brother said this, it seemed that he didn't like studying.

As expected.

Gan Fanren frowned: "Huai Zhong, you study hard all day long, so take a good rest this time. On the contrary, Huai Bi, you are always distracted when I ask you to study. During this time, practice your calligraphy well. I will check it."

Gan Huai Zhong's eyes flashed with a smile.

Let this brat always compete with him for his sister. Practice your calligraphy well. His sister is his!

Little Gan Tian didn't know that her elder brother was so thoughtful. Looking at her gentlemanly elder brother, she stretched out her little fleshy hand.

[Big brother, give me a hug.]

How could Gan Huaizhong refuse such a lovely sister? He reached out his hand, hugged Gan Tian, ​​and went out to play.

Although this inn is built on the wasteland, the owner of the inn is very attentive and keeps the surroundings of the inn very clean and tidy.

Herbs that repel mosquitoes and snakes are planted outside the yard, so they will not be bothered by mosquitoes when sitting outside the yard.

Worried that Gan Tian would be sunburned, Gan Huaizhong hugged Gan Tian and sat in the shade to enjoy the breeze. The breeze was warm and gentle, and it made Gan Tian feel warm and comfortable.

Gan Tian couldn't help but stretching.

She suddenly heard a sound coming from her.

"Hurry up, what are you looking at? If you keep dawdling, get out of here and stop holding me back."

Gan Tian saw from a distance that a group of people were walking towards the inn. They were dressed in the same clothes, and there was a flag with the word "Qian" embroidered on the carriage.

A thin, square-faced middle-aged man asked for mercy from the leader: "Qian Biaotou, can you take a break? My mother is old and can't stand it anymore."

The Qian Biaotou glanced at the team behind him and said unkindly: "A bunch of poor ghosts, not much money, but a lot of things to do."
