Chapter 479 Buying a Donkey
As she pondered, she glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. She quickly turned to the side and, using her luggage as cover, carefully took out a few pieces of silver from a hidden compartment in her sleeve pocket and clenched them in her hand.
"Master, remember to negotiate the price."
Er'er carefully reminded him, and Wu Yunzhi took the money and nodded to her.
Once everyone had gone inside, the little girl squatted down by the roadside to keep watch.
Before long, Wu Yunzhi happily led out a strong male donkey with gray-black fur, a well-proportioned frame, and gentle eyes.
Er'er circled the donkey once.
“Disciple, come and see, isn’t the donkey your master picked out pretty good?” Wu Yunzhi said with a hint of pride.
Er'er didn't speak immediately. Instead, he checked its teeth and hooves, and then touched its fur to confirm that it was a healthy and strong donkey.
She was initially delighted, but then lowered her voice and asked eagerly, "Master, how much silver did you pay for this donkey?"
Wu Yunzhi quoted a price, which was actually cheaper than they had estimated.
Upon hearing this, Er'er's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "Worth it! This price is worth it."
As she spoke, she bent down to pick up the luggage on the ground and tie it to the donkey.
"Hey! No rush."
Seeing her movement, Wu Yunzhi quickly reached out to stop her, a smile on his face.
Er'er paused, looking at her master with a puzzled expression.
He waved towards the market, and immediately a shop assistant came running over, pushing a light and sturdy wooden cart frame, and deftly harnessed it to the donkey.
In the blink of an eye, an ordinary donkey carrying goods has been transformed into a two-wheeled donkey cart that can carry people and goods!
Er'er was initially happy upon seeing this sudden upgrade, but then immediately became worried.
"Master! I'm afraid you can't ride in this donkey cart. You get so seasick, what if you throw up if you sit on it?"
Wu Yunzhi waved his hand, completely unconcerned.
“You drive the donkey, and the cart is carrying luggage, so I feel relaxed and won’t get tired walking.”
"but……"
Er'er wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Wu Yunzhi.
He called over a servant and had him begin teaching Er'er how to drive the carriage in the open space.
The little girl was clever; she learned it easily after just a short while.
The two stayed in Chengmai County for two days before setting off again, their donkey cart laden with goods.
Er'er bought Wu Yunzhi two sets of warm robes, two quilts, a rainproof oilcloth, a raincoat, a straw hat, oil boots, a thick cotton carriage curtain for when it gets colder, replenished his dry rations, and even added a small iron pot...
There were so many tiny, miscellaneous things.
Wu Yunzhi had almost lost count of what Er'er had bought.
The master and apprentice set off towards Yilun County as if fleeing famine.
……
After some time, Ruyiju reopened.
Old Lu, standing in the front hall, couldn't help but sigh, "You know, Hong Gang is really shameless. I thought he was prepared to close down, but who knew he would reopen."
"It's a pity, I thought I could buy the building next door."
Xu Anyang said with some regret.
Xu Yiyi, standing behind the counter, was still somewhat puzzled when she heard Hong Gang's spirited voice.
It seems that Hong Gang has been getting a good rest during the days that Ruyiju has been closed!
The three had different thoughts, but Fu Wanying suddenly showed up at the door.
She was a little embarrassed when she saw Xu Yiyi.
"I'm so sorry! Hong Gang's lease on this building hasn't expired yet. I thought that after what happened before, he was so badly hurt that he would close the shop. I didn't expect that after resting for a while, he would reopen."
Fu Wanying's tone was somewhat helpless.
