This half-elf not only has a system

Chapter 24 Fully Armed (3)

When we arrived at the market that the blacksmith shop owner mentioned, it was different from what I imagined. The livestock market was outside, not inside the slave market, and it was not that noisy.

It's just that compared to the previous market, it's not as noisy.

I didn't go deep into this place, for fear that others would have a strange look at Li'er.

But something more troublesome has come. Others have turned their attention to my caravan. I don’t know if they regard me as a lamb to be slaughtered, or because I am a tall, tall and thick man, and I am full of valuable equipment.

The entire horse market is built with wooden railings. Each horse dealer has a territory of about 20 square meters, which is very spacious. If you add the big tent behind their shop and the horse pen behind the tent, a dealer's territory The location is even larger, at least more than a hundred.

There are not many horse dealers here, they are basically a family of four or five people, either a joint venture or a family.

"Boss, let's go to that one." Eric pointed to the third shop on the right. There were two young men sitting on the wooden fence, and another man was brushing a black horse.

"What happened to that family?"

"I used to work as a coachman in Yulin City, and I have loved riding horses since I was a child. I just looked around and their horses are the most beautiful." Eric said confidently.

"Okay, let's go there."

Eric is not eager to express himself. After seeing my power for the first time, and with that kind of 'speech', he should not be flattering.

In addition, I am not an expert, and Eric's skills are also related to equestrian, so he should know more about this area than I do.

"Masters, welcome. Are you here to buy a horse?" One of the dark-haired men with a brown complexion stepped forward to greet him.

"My caravan needs horses and carriages, and I would like to see them at your place."

"My name is Carla, and that is my brother Carman. You made a wise choice to come to us."

Maybe this is true flattery, after all I am a guest.

"Can you introduce it to me?"

"No problem. If you are alone and have a horse, then our traveling horse is the most suitable. It is affordable. Although it is not a young horse, it has great strength and good endurance. Even if it is not very fast, But it’s suitable for carrying piggyback and pulling carts,” Kara said.

"Do you think the carriage we are riding in needs traveling horses to pull it?" Eric suddenly interrupted.

"As long as four horses are needed!" Kara said, rubbing her hands.

"You're really bullying the newcomers..." Eric sighed.

Although it was a bit unexpected, it got straight to the point.

"Guest, you are joking, we will not lie." Kara quickly defended.

"Generally speaking, it is perfectly fine to use four adult horses or young horses for a carriage with twenty ordinary humans. There are only seven of us, but you recommended four horses to us."

"Don't say that, four horses will still be very fast." Carla hesitated.

"Forget it, I also know that your business is not easy to do. Can you let me go to the horse farm behind you to make a selection?"

"Okay, okay, as long as you're satisfied, it's okay." Kara said and made a gesture of invitation.

The seven of us walked through the tent to the horse farm at the back. There were twelve horses behind it, four black, three brown, two black and white, and three white.

Eric walked to the fence, stroked the heads of these horses skillfully, and observed the bodies of these horses. After watching all the twelve horses, they came to me and said: "Boss, my suggestion is to buy those two hills." Horse. It has a gentle attitude, should be old enough, and has the right endurance and temperament.”

Eric said, pointing to the black one and the white one.

"If we want to buy a larger carriage, will two horses be enough?"

"I don't recommend buying a larger one now. If we need to carry more goods in the future, we will buy a few more carriages, because large carriages will put a burden on the horses and are inconvenient to pass on some special sections." Rick said very seriously. To be honest, it was very similar to what my seniors taught me when I first arrived at the company.

"Then it's up to you. These two horses will be yours from now on. Can you take care of our caravan's carriage and horses?"

"really?"

‘Eric’s mood swings detected’

No need to tell me this...

"When did I lie to you?"

Eric nodded excitedly, and then said to Kara: "Boss, I want those two horses."

"Good guest, you have really good taste. These two horses are very suitable. They are both 15 years old and in their best period. Both endurance and strength are very good."

"How much do these two horses cost?" Eric asked.

"The black one is 18 gold and the white one is 25 gold." Kara said.

"Yours is too expensive. Although we said we were optimistic about it, you were planning to deceive us before, so I won't pursue it. It's 35 gold for two." Eric negotiated the price confidently.

He wasn't making a random counteroffer. I looked at the market conditions and found that the total of the two horses was indeed about 35-40 gold, and they were still naked horses.

"No, no, it was my fault before, so I won't make any money. We two brothers still have to eat. How about this? Can I give you the matching reins and 37 gold coins?"

"A set of reins won't cost 2 gold coins. 35 gold and 50 silver for two sets of reins?"

"No more talk, just 36 gold coins and two sets of reins."

"A new set of horseshoes and a set of sharpening tools!"

"make a deal!"

After reaching an agreement, the man who brushed the horse before began to shoe our horse. I took out two burlap bags to store reins and other things.

"Kara, do you have a carriage?"

"Go to the end of the carriage. There is a guy named Lariman. He sells carriages. They are very cheap and the quality is good!"

Carla told me this. From the looks of it, he is not a bad-hearted guy. He is just doing it for his livelihood.

"As for feed, do you sell it here?"

"Yes, one kilogram of horse grass is worth 10 copper coins."

"Then I'll take one silver coin."

After I settled the bill, the boss went to prepare the feed, and Tesla helped me handle the procedures.

"Boss, go and see the carriage. Don't buy one that's too big, and don't buy a second-hand one. It's best to sit on it and feel it. If you think it's OK, leave it to me. I'll take the horse to you later. Lead it in and pull the carriage out," Eric said.

"Okay, Brobro, just stay here and I'll go and see for myself."

"Good boss."

After leaving here, we came to the shop where Kara mentioned that he bought carriages. The place was even more primitive, with no railings and only dozens of carriages placed in the open space.

"Is this Mr. Lariman?"

"Yes, you are?" Lariman is a big man from the human race, who looks as strong as Tesla.

"I was recommended by Carla to come here to buy a carriage."

"Oh! Kara! How many people are you using?"

"Currently, there are seven people, six adult men and one girl. Let's take it as ten. I am from a caravan and I need to be able to store some of the goods."

"Okay, come with me." Lariman said, turning around and waving to me, and I followed him to the back.

"What do you think of this?"

He pointed at the carriage in front of me. It had a white canvas roof, which should be good for rain protection. There was a driving seat in front of the carriage, which could accommodate three Teslas. The wheels were also wrapped with iron sheets. The wooden wheels looked very strong. Looking at the structure, I saw it was a little wobbly and it was pretty solid.

Entering the interior of the carriage, there are long seats made of wooden boards on both sides of the car. The space is very large. Tesla can sleep on it without any problem. It is not particularly large, about 1.8 meters wide and about 2.3 meters long. But no less than this length.

"How much is this car?"

"Don't worry, how many horses do you have? This cart plus the people is probably over a ton. I don't know if you can pull it."

"Two hill horses over 15 years old." Fortunately I had listened to what Eric said before.

"That's no problem. This carriage costs 20 gold."

The market price shows 15 gold. Looking at it more broadly, copper coins, it turns out that different industries have different profits. I'm too lazy to negotiate the price. If I bring them here, I still have to pretend. Otherwise, I will look like a bottomless pit.

"Ok."

After the transaction, I waited for about ten minutes. Eric and the others took the formalities and handed them to me. I received the backpack and installed the carriage.

The seven people sat on the carriage and returned to the Mare Banner. Under Mihanna's guidance, they went around the backyard, parked the carriage, and tied the horses. Eric, as if he had found a treasure, packed up the stables and took care of his New favorite.

I bought some clean bedding here in Mihanna and laid them out on the carriage.

"Li'er, can you sleep here tonight?"

"Okay! Lil! Thank you very much!"

Lil said very seriously.

I don't think we can let Lil sleep in the stable all the time. Now that there is a carriage, it doesn't matter who is in it.

Then I told Brobro to go with Tesla tomorrow to buy tents and storage boxes for the carriage. I gave them two gold, which should be enough. I told them to keep the extra money for themselves, and occasionally use it. Buy some drinks or something.

Although I can't be called a boss, I feel very much like a boss. But as a boss, I'm more like the silly son of a landlord.
