Chapter 167 Scallion Crab? Buying a Horse

The two went to the horse market to buy horses. Xichuan was located in a small town, but there was a horse market.

Before going to Ma City, the two went to the money house to withdraw 300 taels of silver notes and fifty taels of broken silver.

I was still a little far from the horse market, and I smelled a strange smell of horse manure, forage, etc., which was very scented.

Li Luotang took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.

"I'll go in and buy it, you can go to the teahouse in front to wait for me." Gu Tingxian said.

"It's all here, let's go in together." Li Luotang walked in.

"Two guests, do you want to buy a horse?" The owner of a horse shop with the plaque "Thousand Miles Horse" said, and asked.

"I'm going to buy a horse. What good horses do you have here? Take us to see." Gu Tingxian said.

"The horses in the small shop are all good horses that are selected from thousands of miles away." The owner of the shop boasted.

While speaking, the two of them were led to a horse shed, which occupied a large area and had many horses, with dozens of horses.

The store owner asked with a smile: "I don't know where the two customers are going?"

"Where are we going, why do we tell you?" Li Luotang asked.

You cannot easily disclose your whereabouts when you go out, especially when both of you are in trouble now.

"Customer, don't get me wrong. The small one is not about asking for anything. The small one is to recommend a suitable horse to the two customers better. The running speed of the horse is different." The store owner explained.

"You need two fast horses running long distances." Gu Tingxian said.

"On a long distance, you must be a good horse and a dog. Go and take the red horse out and show it to the two guests." said the shop owner.

The dog responded and went to lead the horse.

After waiting for a while, the dog led the horse over. It was a tall, well-proportioned horse with smooth muscle lines.

The shop owner said, "Customer, this horse is not only endurance, but also runs fast and has a gentle personality. If the customer is favored, it will be sold to you for eighty taels of silver."

Gu Tingqing did not answer his words, but walked over, opened the horse's mouth, and looked at its teeth, "This is a mare, the black nest on the front teeth has disappeared. Boss, are you sure this is a good horse?"

The shop owner didn't expect Gu Ting to be a horse, but he was a businessman and reacted quickly enough, "Dog, you bastard, I asked you to lead the red and white-hoofed horse. Why did you pull this horse out?"

"Don't calm down, it's because the little one made a mistake. The little one will go in and lead the horse." The dog said hurriedly.

"Don't hold the wrong one again this time." Gu Ting slapped the wooden pillar with a sharp palm, and saw clear handprints left on the wooden pillar.

Li Luotang still covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and the other held the hilt of the sword.

The shop owner stretched his neck, took a breath and touched his neck.

He is an old birthday boy who is hanging himself and is impatient to live!

After Gu Tingxiao's shock, the store owner obediently sold it to two people, one of whom was a five-year-old horse.

One is a red and white-hoofed horse, seventy taels of silver; the other is a black and brown horse, sixty-five taels of silver.

The shop owner honestly led the two of them to the counter and took out the horse-selling contract with the Xichuan Yamen seal.

He paid the money and took the horse out of the horse market.

It was a distance from Mashi. Li Luotang let go of his hands covering his mouth and nose, and took a big breath. Mashi was almost suffocated to death just now.

"By the way, how could you be so slutty?" Li Luotang asked curiously.

"I raised horses in my uncle's army before." Gu Ting smiled faintly.

The two of them said and walked into the store selling horse accessories.

According to their own preferences, they picked up the saddle and placed it on the horse's back, and the height of the stirrup was also adjusted.

"I went to the restaurant for lunch before I went back to clean up." Gu Tingxian suggested.

In the past few days, Li Luotang has not eaten well in order to take care of him, and he has lost weight.

"Actually, there is nothing to deal with." Li Luotang smiled, "but I have to go back and say goodbye to my mother-in-law."

The two walked out of a restaurant and handed the horse to the servant, and they went up to the second floor.

The guy recommended to the two, "There are fresh blue crabs in the shop today."

"Then let's have a green crab with scallion oil." Li Luotang said immediately.

The two ordered three dishes, one soup, no wine, and a pot of kiwi juice.

Li Luotang smiled and told Gu Tingxian, "I came from Zhengzhou to eat kiwis from Xixia."

"The kiwi fruit from Xixia was almost treated as a tribute in the previous dynasty." Gu Ting smiled.

"Then why didn't it work?" Li Luotang asked curiously.

"Emperor Ai's favorite concubine is born in the year of the monkey, and she is afraid that she will become a rabid monkey after eating this peach."

Li Luotang was stunned, "This reason is so powerful."

According to the logic of this favorite concubine, those born in the Year of the Pig cannot eat pork, and those born in the Year of the Rabbit cannot eat rabbit meat.

She is a sheep, so can’t eat mutton?

But the mutton tastes so delicious, how can I not eat it?

While we were having fun, the dishes were served.

The blue crab was chopped into a few pieces, and the crab pieces were covered with starch, and fryed in oil to make it red.

The chef has a good cooking skills, and the green crabs do not have a fishy smell. Li Luotang thinks that the most delicious thing among crabs is not crab meat, but crab roe. Unfortunately, the amount of crab roe is not large.

"Crab roe buns are also delicious." Li Luotang said while picking the crab meat with a spoon.

"We'll go eat crab roe buns tomorrow morning." Gu Ting smiled.

"Okay." Li Luotang said with a smile on his face.

After lunch, the two bought some dry food on the street, and each bought two sets of changing clothes.

After having supper on the street, they did not go back to the rented cottage, but instead found an inn to stay in.

Gu Tingxian didn't want Li Luotang to sleep on the bed board set up on the stool again, and Li Luotang also wanted to take a good bath.

That night, both of them took a good shower, changed into clean clothes, and slept comfortably.

The next day, the two went to the hut and said goodbye to the old woman.

"Mother-in-law, we are leaving. I will give you the key. Thank you for your care in the past few days." Li Luotang said with a smile.

"It's agreed that the rent cannot be refunded for a month." The old woman covered the money bag in her arms.

"The rent is not required to be refunded, and we don't want the things in the house anymore. We will give them to you." Li Luotang said generously.

"Give it all to me?" The old woman couldn't believe it.

Li Luotang smiled, "Yes, I'll give it to you."

"Where are you going? Isn't it good to live here?" The old woman was reluctant to let it go. Li Luotang and Gu Tingxian were very kind tenants, and they were generous in their actions.

"We still have something to do and can't live here anymore. Mother-in-law, take care of yourself, we're leaving."

As he said that, Li Luotang and Gu Tingyi turned over and left with the horse.

Seeing Li Luotang's neatness on the horse and the sword hanging around her waist, the old woman suddenly realized that Li Luotang was not the lady she thought was the big girl, but the hero of the martial arts world.

"It turns out that I'm not a young couple who elopes, but they're really a good match!" the old woman murmured to herself.
