As soon as he heard that he was here to buy cattle, the cattle dealer's heart suddenly dropped into his stomach. He was frightened to death and thought he was here to cause trouble.
"Those who want to buy cattle should tell you earlier."
The cattle dealer muttered in a low voice and went to bring out the two cows that Su Su had taken a fancy to just now.
"Look, who wants these two cows?"
The villagers had nothing to choose from. In their minds, Su Yu was an omnipotent being and everything he did was right.
"I want this one."
"Then I want this one."
Two men immediately stood up and took one of the cows each. The other villagers didn't come forward when they saw it. They could all buy cattle today with Miss Su here.
"Boss, what do you think of the price?"
"Twenty taels, no two prices."
"Seventeen taels."
"I'm afraid you don't understand what I said. What I said was twenty taels without bargaining."
Su Yu: "Seventeen taels."
"Hey! I'm talking about you little girl."
Seeing that the cattle dealer had a bad attitude, the villagers all stepped forward, as if if the cattle dealer said something again, they would immediately go up and beat him up.
When the cattle dealer saw this posture, his momentum immediately weakened.
"Seventeen taels really can't be sold."
"Boss, these are just some of the people in our village. If they buy it, other people may come to buy it. Are you sure you don't want to do this business? Don't regret it when we go to other places?"
After hearing what Su Yu said, the cattle dealer hesitated again, thinking that there are at least a hundred or so families in a village. In addition to the dozen or so families here, there are more than 80 families. Even if the remaining 80 families only buy half of them, the four of them will Each of the cattle dealers has at least a dozen cows on his head.
If the whole village buys it, if he offends people and misses the deal, they might be unhappy and stop buying from him in the future. This will not be cheap for the other three people.
After figuring out the joints, the cattle dealer no longer hesitated.
"Seventeen taels is seventeen taels."
The two villagers who were holding the cow just now were very happy. They really didn't expect Miss Su to bargain so hard. They bought such a big cow at 17 taels, which was considered a profit for them.
After buying it, Su Yu took people to the next cattle seller. After walking around, every villager bought cattle, and the prices were quite uniform. They were all seventeen taels per head. Although the cattle they bought were There are some differences in size, and there are males and females among them, but the villagers are already very happy.
If they had come to buy it themselves, they wouldn't be able to get the seventeen taels at all, but Miss Su has the ability.
When Su Yu came over with the villagers, the two guys were shocked and said that they were going to buy all the cattle. The people in this village were quite rich.
After buying the cows, of course, the iron plow is indispensable, but the rice seeds can't be left here forever. The waiter has something to do in the shop.
Finally, two villagers were sent to follow Su Yu to the blacksmith shop. Su Laoer followed the villagers to bring the cattle back to Jinjia Village, as well as rice seeds.
When he saw that the people were gone, Su Yu took the remaining two villagers to the blacksmith shop.
The blacksmith shop was very busy when several people arrived, but when he saw a customer coming, the old blacksmith still put down his work and came over.
"What do you guys want to do?"
"Boss, we want to order an iron plow."
"Pick it up in ten days."
“We don’t just order one.”
"How many will you order?"
"Boss, you'd better take a look at my picture first and see if it can be done. If it can be done, I'll do it at your house. If it can't be done, I'll go to another place."
Su Yu said and handed over the drawing in his hand.
The old blacksmith took the drawing handed over by Su Yu and opened it. He didn't understand it at first. But after he understood it later, he had a big doubt in his heart. How to drive such a large iron plow?
"Does the girl want to drive such a big iron plow?"
"We plan to use three oxen to pull it when the time comes."
Hearing Su Yu's words, the old doctor's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, why didn't he think of this method?
The iron plow shown in the picture has seven plowshares. If three oxen use force at the same time, it will be more than twice as high as one ox and one iron plow. Why has no one thought of this method before?
"It can be done, but it will take a little longer. As you can see, the shop is very busy now."
"Boss, please see if you can hurry up. My family is waiting to use it. And you can make mine first. After I try it out and the effect is good, you can ask your people to seize the time and make a few more quickly, taking advantage of this year's spring plowing. It was still selling well before, but this is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money.”
The old blacksmith has been in business for half his life. Su Yu naturally understood what he said. He felt that what Su Yu said was very reasonable. He took the drawing and looked at it carefully.
"Three days, the girl will come and get it in three days."
"Okay, this is a deposit of ten taels of silver."
After Su Yu finished talking, he left with the two villagers, planning to go to the next house.
"Miss Su, what is that drawing you just drew?"
None of them saw when Su Yu handed the blueprint to the old blacksmith just now, so they were not very curious now.
Fortunately, Su Yu prepared more than one copy of the drawings, and it didn't matter if he showed them to the villagers. He took one out of his pocket and gave it to one of the villagers.
"Just take a look at this. It's something I usually mess around with. I don't know if it can be used."
Although the villagers don't know how to read pictures, the pictures drawn by Su Yu are clearly visible and have a three-dimensional effect. Even a fool can understand them.
There are seven iron plowshares in a row above. Thinking of the spectacular sight of seven plowshares lined up in the field and being pulled by three oxen in front, the two villagers felt uneasy.
If the Su family makes it and it is useful, they can order it at the blacksmith shop, and there is no rush in these three to five days.
"Miss Su, let's not order the iron plow. Let's wait and see how your custom-made plow goes. If it works well, we will join forces and order one."
Another villager also nodded.
"Yes, we will make a decision when the time comes."
Su Yu didn't show the drawings in front of the villagers just now on purpose. She couldn't tell how useful this thing was until the finished product came out, and she had to let the villagers experience it for themselves.
Fortunately, both of them are not stupid. Now they can only wait for her custom-made iron plowshare to be ready, and then see the effect.
"Now that you have decided, go back first. I have some unfinished business and will go back later."
"Okay, let's go back first, Miss Su."
After seeing off the two villagers, Su Yu took Yin Jian to the Kyoto government office. Today, he was delayed for a long time and was a little late. The braised pork promised to be delivered was now cold. Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer now. It's nothing.
Today I brought a lot of people. Thinking of the help that Yang and the others had just done on the street, Su Yu asked Yin Jian to take some and gave half to Jiangfu Yin. The rest was given to Yang and the others, and then He carried the basket and went to the prison of the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office.
