"Look, a carriage!"
"Oh my goodness, it's got a canopy! What kind of important person has come? I've only seen such carriages in the county town, you know, that time I went to the city."
"We know, we know. You've been bragging about it for a year now, going to the city and all."
"What do you mean bragging? That city, it's just better than our village, there are so many rich people there. Really, you should visit the city if you have a chance. But even in the city, carriages as luxurious as this are rare!"
"Yeah, I remember Yu Biao's family used to have one, but it was pulled by a mule. It was nowhere near as good as this carriage."
"Still talking about the Yu family? They're done for, and it's not like just any family can afford such a carriage."
"Let me tell you, these horses are incredibly precious. The daily fodder alone costs 30 to 40 cents."
"30 to 40 cents? Do these horses eat gold or silver? My family of four doesn't spend that much on food in a day!"
