Ouch! My friend, my neighbour, you make fun of the poor! You look like a petty trader! Now, my sheep-buyer! By God! You don't look like a shopkeeper at all." Sheep is like a pickpocket cutting someone's pocket. Nikolai, my buddy①! When you defrost and buy intestines② you should be standing next to you with a bag full of money! Humph, hum, who can't see If you come out, you can show your talents! Hey, kind people, come and see how well he pretends!"

Banuzhi said: "Don't worry, don't worry. Please do me a favor. Sell me a sheep first. How much?" The merchant said: "My friend, my neighbor, do you know what I am? This is the real long wool. This is where Yasson's golden fleece comes from. The coat of arms of the Burgoni nation It also comes from here①. This is a real oriental sheep, a thick wool sheep, a fat sheep."

He thinks it should be "Gula, my son (or "my grandson")". ② When defrosting is the season when the price of intestines drops. ③ "Long wool" is also the name of a gold coin. ① Grand Duke Burgoni "Philip the Good" cast a gold medal in 1429 with a wool pattern on it as the coat of arms of his clan. ② Said for the previous "Oriental Sheep".

③ Compared with the previous "thick wool sheep, fat sheep". Businessman: "Let's shake hands! Haha! You are here to open your eyes, you are the king's clown, and your name is Roban sheep. Well, look at that sheep, it is also named Roban just like you. Roban, Roban, Roban—baa, baa, baa, baa—what a sound!" Banu Day: "It's really good." Businessman: "My neighbor and friend, now there is a contract between you and me. What about you, you are the Roban sheep, put it on one side of the balance, and my Roban sheep on the other; I dare to take a Bet a hundred alms oysters that it will be above you in weight, price, and value, and if so, you will be hanged in this way some day."

Banuji said: "Don't worry, don't worry. As long as you are willing to sell me one, even if it is a little bit inferior, you have helped me a lot and benefited your descendants. Sir, sir, I am here I beg you." The tradesman replied: "My friend, my neighbor, the wool of my sheep can be woven into the fine cloth of Rouen, compared with which the goods of Lecester are like coarse cloth. My sheepskin can be woven The best Moroccan skins can be sold as Turkish leathers, or Montelima leathers, or at least Spanish leathers. Lamb intestines can be used for violin and harp strings, and can be compared with Munich 5 or Algeria 6. The same high price as strings. What do you think?" Banuzhi said, "I'm sorry, sell me one. Let me guard the gate for you for the rest of my life. You see, the cash is ready. How much do you want?" As he spoke, he drew out his purse full of brand-new Henrigues.
