Chapter 25 Road Killer
The old man said proudly, "I'm the legendary doctor of this area, my footprints have covered the vast valleys to the west. So, the carriage needs to be sturdy, otherwise how can it move!"
Xiao Nangjun is a bit slow-witted.
The old man continued his calculations: "Raising horses, that's where money flows in like water."
Little Sizi also joined in the fun, saying: "In Europe, raising horses is no joke; it costs a fortune."
The steward handed Xiao Sizi a delicious treat and said with a smile, "Little girl, you're quite knowledgeable! I've never heard of 'Ouzhou,' but buying a horse, feeding it, getting it treated, renting or repairing a stable, buying horse equipment, and taking care of it every day—all of that costs a lot of money! And the prices vary from place to place; it's even more expensive in the city, ridiculously expensive!"
Little Sizi munched on his delicious food, not forgetting to make a few sarcastic remarks: "This is amazing!!! Those big shots in Western Europe, like the British and French girls... raising horses is practically their second job, like a hobby!"
Especially those nobles and nouveau riche, they spend far more money on their horses than we do on pocket money.
Of course, it's cheaper in Eastern Europe, but taking care of a Malaysian requires just as much time and energy as pursuing a goddess!
Furthermore, if horseback riding becomes popular, horse ownership will become even more expensive. This is because you need to train the horses, prepare them for competitions, and set up a whole host of facilities. Therefore, horse ownership in Europe is one of the most expensive professions ever!
Look at this, raising horses in ancient times was not something that ordinary people could afford.
We need to buy horses, provide them with food and water, take them to the vet, equip them with gear, and build stables—all of these things cost money.
Horses are even divided into different classes, such as warhorses and racehorses. Their treatment is better than that of people.
For ordinary families, raising horses? Just thinking about it gives them a headache. They might as well raise them together or borrow one.
The master then said, "If you want to work for me, you'll need a carriage!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dazzling Tang Dynasty carriage appeared, so magnificent it was practically unbelievable!
Xiao Nang was also extremely excited, thinking to herself, "This job has a really high-level setup!"
Si Zi's eyes widened as he pointed at the magnificent, antique-style carriage with its carved railings and jade steps, exclaiming, "Wow, wow! Master, this carriage is practically a palace on wheels!"
Xiao Nangjun exclaimed in amazement, "My goodness, sir, how much would this car cost?! The glittering gold body, the exquisite carvings! ...And the patterns on the wheels, they're practically works of art, so beautiful you can't take your eyes off them!"
Little Si whispered, "Brother, if we sit in that, it'll be like being a superstar! It's so cool!!!"
The carriage curtains are made of silk, with red and gold stripes.
Little Nangjun whispered in Sizi's ear, dreaming: "From now on, we can drive this carriage to make house calls every day, and enjoy the fun of going for a drive along the way. It's perfect!"
The master said smugly, "Hey, look at that! No matter how magnificent the carriage is, it can't compare to my fine horses! They are named 'Lightning,' 'Star,' and 'Wild,' and there's one that doesn't have a name."
The carriage's few "turbocharged engines" resembled two pampered noblewomen in a courtyard house, only knowing how to eat grass and enjoy life.
Little Sizi took off running, but was stopped by the master's roar. He said fiercely, "Watch out, or the horse will kick you!"
She could only watch the horses from afar; they were all leisurely enjoying themselves, as if they were having some kind of high-class tea party. Servants were even giving them special "horse-style" spa treatments—they were truly enjoying themselves immensely!
Especially that nameless steed, which would occasionally flick its handsome mane, as if it had just had a makeover at a high-end hair salon—it was practically showing off!
Little Sizi tugged at the old man's sleeve, looked up and asked, "Grandpa, Grandpa, can I name this horse?"
The old man said with a smile, "Of course! Let our little girl decide the name of this horse!"
Little Sizi's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly: "Great! You can't go back on your word!!"
The little boy next to him curiously leaned over and asked, "What's your name?"
Little Sizi looked smug and said mysteriously, "Let's call it 'Road Killer'!"
The master and the young man were both stunned, staring at each other in disbelief.
The old man couldn't help but ask, "This name sounds a bit scary!"
Xiao Nangjun suppressed a laugh.
