Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 180:

Buying Horse Carriages

In the fields, there still lay several acres of vegetables, and there were twenty acres of undeveloped barren land. If they planted all these with vegetables, it might indeed lead to wealth.

Now, he understood why A'ran gave them two months to consider.

A'ran earned silver much faster than him, without resorting to a life of perilous activities like escorting cargo, which was a far more stable and less dangerous way.

A'ran had too little confidence in herself. There was no need for them to think for two months; one month was more than enough.

Mourong Lingran looked at her older brother's cheerful mood and knew what he was thinking, but she didn't explicitly mention it.

Taking her older brother to Embroidery Pavilion, she handed over boiled eggs, sugar, and silver to their mother. She also showed the headpieces to their mother, then finally pulled her older brother to the West Market.

Mourong Zong, watching the bustling market with suspicion, asked, "A'ran, why are you here?"

"Big brother, did you forget that we still have so many vegetables at home? Depending solely on our family, we won't be able to sell them all. Moreover, transporting so many vegetables to the city every day is challenging. The village doesn't have any means of transportation we can use. So, for the convenience of future business, I plan to buy a few horse carriages to take back."

Although ox carts were cheaper, she believed that once her family's business was on track, ox carts would gradually become unnecessary.

Moreover, horses were more human-friendly than oxen, had better endurance, and could run longer distances. With many men in her family, all of whom had learned to ride horses, they could play around when not transporting vegetables. They could even ride together to find their younger brothers, killing two birds with one stone.

"Horse carriages? Right, there's quite a bit of land at home. Relying solely on manpower is indeed too strenuous." Mourong Zong completely believed that A'ran wouldn't only rely on these twenty acres of land to make a living. She must have bigger ambitions.

After inquiring with passersby, Mourong Lingran, aware of the existence of the Yahang Department, went straight there.

Mourong Lingran was dressed in the beautiful clothes given to her by Helian Rongjiu, with light-colored pearl flowers adorning her head. Her face was fair, delicate, and charming, making her look like a city-bred girl.

As for Mourong Zong, he also wore the new clothes that Mourong Lingran had bought for him. Although the fabric couldn't match the one on Mourong Lingran, it was still something rarely worn by ordinary people.

Therefore, the attendants at the Yahang Department, observing their attire, assumed they were from a wealthy family. They enthusiastically introduced the options to them.

After a while, Mourong Lingran selected four horses, a medium-sized carriage for their usual transportation, and three general-purpose carriages for vegetable transport.

Regardless of the era, horses were extremely valuable. The four spirited-looking horses cost her eighty taels of silver.

The medium-sized carriage cost five taels of silver, and the three general-purpose carriages cost six taels of silver.

In total, she spent ninety-one taels of silver that day.

Mourong Zong's heart suddenly felt a bit painful. They had only earned one tael today, and A'ran spent ninety-one taels. Now, he felt that growing vegetables for money was too slow.

Mourong Lingran didn't feel much. She was willing to spend. To gain something, you have to give up something. Looking at the attendant, she said calmly, "This big brother, you see, there are only two of us. My older brother can drive a horse carriage. Could you please arrange for a few people to help bring the other carriages back?"

The attendant hadn't encountered such a big customer for a long time. His eyes were smiling into a straight line. Naturally, such a request was not a problem. He quickly nodded, "Miss, rest assured. I can send four people to help bring all the carriages back to your home. When you get home, you can pay us then."
