They all long to marry into a wealthy family, and even if they can't, they don't want to be bought by a country bumpkin to farm.
Seeing that Lin Mo chose that family, he was naturally secretly happy.
After it was finalized, Boss Wang immediately had someone write a contract, took out the family's indentures, and then stamped and signed it.
"You three are lucky to be bought by Boss Lin. I've already given the indenture to Boss Lin. He will be your new master from now on..."
Boss Wang gave a few brief instructions, sent the others away, and asked the old man to take the family of three to pack their bags.
"By the way, Brother Wang, I also want to buy a carriage. If there are cows, I would also like to buy one. I heard that carriages also require a guarantor. Do you have any?"
Lin Wu needs to use the ox cart at home. He needs to go to the town frequently, so it would be best to buy a horse-drawn carriage. The people in the family have been in poor health over the years and have not had enough nutrition, so it is necessary to buy a dairy cow to take good care of their health.
When Boss Wang heard that they also needed to buy a carriage and oxen, he was surprised. After a while, he immediately stepped forward and gestured for invitation: "Boss Lin, please come this way. The carriage and oxen are over here."
His gaze lingered on Lin Mo without any expression. This man was not at all just a farmer as he claimed.
His temperament and calm attitude make him look like a noble person. Although he always has a smile on his face, there is always a hint of coldness in his words.
His intuition told him that this was no ordinary upstart, and that there would definitely be a lot of benefits if he made friends with him.
Thinking of this, Boss Wang's smile became more earnest, and his hearty laughter echoed in the backyard. If you didn't know, you would think that the two were close friends for many years.
"Boss Lin, what do you think of these horses? They are all my carefully raised Ferghana horses. Look at the big meat on their buttocks, the lines, and the tight lower leg muscles. They are all the best I have.
Even when carrying a heavy load, they can travel long distances as easily as on flat ground. Furthermore, these black horses are relatively docile and easy to tame, making them perfect for carriages."
Boss Wang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his words became exaggerated. His big hands stroked the gluteus maximus of the dark horses, and his speech speed became much faster. It was obvious that he liked these dark horses very much.
Lin Mo didn't know how to look at horses either. He followed Boss Wang's introduction and carefully looked at these tall and handsome horses.
The backyard of this farmhouse is very large, with a yard in the middle and the rest divided into side rooms and sheds for raising livestock.
What he saw now were several rows of horse sheds, with a horse tied in each shed. Most of them were black. In addition to the horses, there were many other livestock in the sheds behind, including pigs, sheep, and donkeys.
"There are no more dairy cows, and there aren't many calves born these days. If your husband is about to give birth, you might as well buy a couple of dairy sheep as a backup. Although goat milk tastes a bit strong, it's still safe for children to drink."
Lin Mo: What the hell?
Boss Wang spoke sincerely, but Lin Mo's pupils dilated. He just wanted to buy a dairy cow to supplement everyone's nutrition and recuperate, so how come the topic suddenly escalated to this level?
Boss Wang suddenly met Lin Mo's suspicious gaze, and suddenly realized: "Brother Lin is so young, I guess you don't know much about these things. It's okay, your husband will tell you when the time comes."
"No... I'm not breastfeeding. My husband is weak, and I want to nurse him back to health."
He hasn't even touched Su Mu's little mouth, so where did the child come from?
Besides, he knew his sexual orientation very early, so he had already prepared himself for not having children. Although in this world, boys can have children, as far as Lin Mo knows.
The chances of a boy getting pregnant are very low. Even if he is lucky enough to get pregnant, the process is more difficult and harder than that of a woman, and the birth is even more painful. Many boys die in childbirth.
Lin Mo felt a chill in his heart. Thinking that Su Mu would really leave him forever because of a child, his hands and feet became cold.
Thinking about the backward medical care in this world, Lin Mo immediately decided that he had to be careful at all times and not let Su Mu get pregnant after he got her into bed.
Boss Wang was completely unaware of Lin Mo's thoughts and continued enthusiastically, "You can use goat milk to recuperate. Look, this dairy goat just gave birth. You can take it home and drink it for two months."
"That's fine. A dairy sheep would be fine too."
Lin Mo followed Boss Wang to look at several batches of horses and felt that the horses all looked similar. Some were very strong, while others were relatively thin. He didn't know how to choose. Just at this time, Lao Gu's family came over.
"Lao Gu, you've raised livestock before. Come over and pick out a horse and a dairy sheep. You'll take care of them after we buy them back."
"Okay, Third Master."
Lao Gu immediately went to the stable to choose. He knew more than Lin Mo, and quickly picked out one from a group of black horses. He led the tall horse to Lin Mo.
"Third Master, the horses here at Boss Wang are all suitable for carriages. These black horses are the most gentle, with strong limbs, and are very strong for business and cargo transportation.
The Third Master had said before that there were other people at home, and they would probably spend more time riding in a carriage in the future. This black horse has a docile temperament and can be easily controlled by an ordinary person.
I have also taken care of this kind of black horse in the previous owner's house, so I will be more familiar with raising it when the time comes."
Lin Mo's eyes flashed, and he felt more admiration for the new man he had bought. He was courageous and perceptive, and he was able to consider his situation in the village and knew to choose a docile horse.
"Then it's according to your choice, Boss Wang. How much do you want for this horse?"
"The carriage and the horse are sold separately. I bought this black horse for twenty taels and have kept it for so long, so I'll give it to you at twenty-five taels as a fee for its feeding.
As for carriages, Brother Lin, you can choose the type you want. There are ordinary wooden carriages, box carriages, and large box carriages with cushions."
Lin Mo secretly clicked his tongue. This horse is more valuable than a human. "What's inside the big carriage?"
"It has all the basic furnishings, and it's a bit bigger. After you open this shop, you'll definitely be traveling around town more frequently, so you can consider a larger carriage. When you're tired, you can sleep comfortably in it. I'll give it to you at eight taels of silver."
Boss Wang pointed to the luxurious carriage in the distance while speaking. He wanted to make friends with Lin Mo, so naturally he wouldn't offer too low a price. He gave a realistic price.
"Then this one." Price is not an issue. What matters is comfort. Su Mu will have to follow him back and forth. It's okay for him to suffer a little, but Su Mu can't.
Following Boss Wang's footsteps, Lin Mo glanced around the interior of the carriage. It was spacious and luxurious enough. In addition to bedding and cushions, there were also some drawers and hidden boxes on both sides, which could be used to store some small things.
This carriage is equivalent to a luxury car in the modern world. The higher the configuration, the more expensive it is. Although its speed is not as fast as a real car, Lin Mo is already satisfied.
