The sparsely populated area also has its advantages, as the rent for a two-storey villa in Poon is only NZ$800 a week, with a small racecourse and a stable for tenants to use for free. This price is less than 4,000 yuan when converted into RMB. There was everything in the house. If the scenic villa with such a racecourse is changed to China, the rent must be increased by at least zero. In New Zealand, like the UK, rent is paid on a weekly basis.

Pan Peiyu also hired a horse worker named Wren, who was in his forties. It's the people of the town who used to work for the homeowner, helping the homeowner take care of the horses, and then the homeowner moved to Australia to settle down, keeping the house and renting it out to tourists. When he knew that Pan Peiyu was coming with a horse, he took the initiative to seek a job as a horse worker, with a weekly salary of 1,600 New Zealand dollars, which was not cheap.

But after seeing his work, Xiao Peng felt that the money was worth it. At a glance, it can be seen that Wren is a veteran of horse breeding: the stables and troughs are well maintained, and the muscles of the two horses after getting off the car are very well restored.

Yang Meng and Pan Peiyu didn't have their butts hot, so they slipped out in a hurry, on the grounds that they were going to Hamilton to rent a car. In New Zealand, it's not easy to rely on a horse-drawn carriage alone.

Xiao Peng knew that these two people were definitely not just renting a car, you know, in New Zealand, eroticism and homosexuality are legal, this Pan Peiyu has been nesting here for more than two weeks, and now he can be regarded as having found an organization. Can these two get together?

"Hunter, don't run so fast, there's something wrong with the Titan's right hind hoof. Huang He stood on the side of the racecourse and commanded, because Zhu Jun wanted to take care of Zhu Bingjie in the racecourse, he did not come this time, so the trainer and breeder were all part-time by him.

Hunter Allen stopped: "I feel it too, it always feels a little wrong." ”

Xiao Peng went over to check: "There is something wrong with the horseshoe." Wait for the fierce son to come back and fix it. Don't let the 'Titans' run away just yet. Just do slow walking training. ”

Hunter Allen looked anxious: "We don't have much time. If I don't get it right, I can't be Barrichello. ”

Xiao Peng thought for a while: "It's better to go to the beach and run on the beach." That will cause less damage to the horse's hooves. But don't go more than 4,000 meters and train slowly for a few days. ”

"That's a good idea!" said Hunter Allen, "Yellow Crane, let's go to the beach." ”

Jogging on the beach will cause little damage to the horse's hooves, but be careful if you hurt the horse's legs.

Now only Xiao Peng is left. The two of them didn't know if they would come back to eat, so Xiao Peng began to mix up the grain. During this time, because of the long-distance transportation, in order to protect the stomach of the horses, the two horses have been eating forage, and now they must recover the grain, otherwise their physical strength will not be able to keep up.

"Boss. Are you making your own feed?" Wren walked over, looked at the manger and said, "Oh, with the ration, I suggest less oatmeal and more carrots." After all, the two horses had just gotten off the plane to recover their grain, and more carrots would be better for their digestion. ”

"Wren, thank you, this is a good suggestion!" Xiao Peng adjusted the feed ratio according to what he said, saying that these racehorses eat more finely than people, and they need to be carefully matched with three meals of ration and five meals of forage every day. The feed formula for the horses fed by each horse farm owner is an industry secret.

For example, Xiao Peng likes to use corn, oats, apples, carrots, eggs, etc. Wren deserves to be a veteran horseman, pointed out the problem directly, and with Wren's help, the two of them prepared the rations together.

"Wren, why don't you go out and find a job in a horse farm like such a good horseman?"

Wren smiled: "If I were young, I would definitely leave here, but now? What are you going to do after you go out? It is better to stay here and at least live comfortably." Now I am used to raising sheep and farming here. ”

Xiao Peng shrugged: "You New Zealand sheep are so much, when I came here, I heard that there are more sheep than people here, and I thought it was a joke, but when I got here, I found that compared with people and sheep here, they are simply rare animals." ”

Wren laughed: "In New Zealand, the probability of you going out of the city from any direction of the city, and walking one kilometer to meet a flock of sheep is infinitely close to 100%, and here are many sheep." ”

"When I came, I heard that New Zealanders are not friendly to Asians, and when I saw you, I realized that it was a mistake. "Rennes were really welcoming.

Wren shook his head and said, "New Zealanders don't have an aversion to Asians, they just ignore them. Only in the big cities is the case you are talking about. And like us, we don't see a few strange faces a year, can we not be enthusiastic when we see you?"

"Oh Shet!" Xiao Peng patronized and chatted with Wren, only to find that a large swarm of ants had crawled in the manger at an unknown time. Xiao Peng watched left and right, trying to find a way to drive away the ants.

"Boss, don't get excited. In New Zealand, there are ants everywhere, and that's a good thing for you. Wren stopped him.

"Good thing?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

"If you live here, you must have black ants in your home, because black ants are the natural enemies of termites, and if you have termites in your home, then these houses are finished. It's a good thing to have ants in a manger like this, and it's just a good thing to give the horses a protein supplement, which is a little secret to our New Zealand horses. But I'll give you a little advice, make sure you gather your food when you go to bed at night, or you'll find hundreds of ants enjoying breakfast in the morning. Wren explained.

Xiao Peng smiled with confidence when he heard this: "You may not know that in our China, ants are a good thing, which can treat many diseases, such as bronchitis, chronic gastritis, menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Now that I know that the horses are okay after eating, I am relieved. ”

Wren stretched out his thumb: "You Chinese are really a brave people, let us eat we don't dare, maybe only Maori dance tattooed people will eat those terrible things." ”

The tattooed people Wren is talking about are the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand. They have a tradition of tattooing. When the British colonized New Zealand, they treated the Maori as they did on the American continent. Now they are treated in the same way as the United States treats the Indians, and various policies compensate them.

Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Speaking of the Maori, I heard that they are very barbaric when I came. Is this true or false?"

Wren pouted: "Except for the rumors that they cannibalize people, everything else is basically correct." They will only tell you that the whites used to bully them and now compensate them in policy, without telling others that they are aggressors themselves. ”

Wren's words refer to the Maori massacre of the Morioli. In the vicinity of what is now New Zealand's Chatham Islands, the Morioli lived more than a hundred years ago, and from 1835, the Maori arrived in the Chatham Islands to massacre the Morioli, and in less than 30 years, only a hundred Morioli remained, and in 1933, the last Morioli died.

Xiao Peng smiled: "It seems that you also have an opinion on the Maori." ”

Wren said indignantly: "If you have dealt with them for more than forty years, you will know why I have so many opinions. ”

Xiao Peng shrugged, it's better not to be involved in such a topic. Just when Xiao Peng didn't know what to say, Wren's phone rang, Wren answered the phone, didn't say a word, and directly burst out foul: "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm going to go out." Uh, would you be interested in coming along?"

Xiao Peng asked: "Why are you going?"

"There's a black goat on the edge of town! That's not good news. Wren said.

"Black goats, black goats here?" said Hunter Allen, who was leading the horse. Hear the two talking.

Wren nodded: "So I'm going to take a look." I also want to ask the boss if he wants to go with him. ”

Hunter Allen said: "Brother Peng, you go and take a look, there are me and Huang He here in the racecourse, don't worry." ”

"Boss, you wait for me here, I'll pick you up in my car!" Wren ran out. Not long after, a Toyota Prado stopped at the door of the stable: "Boss, get in the car!"

In New Zealand, the most common is Japanese cars, because they are also right-hand drive cars, so Japanese second-hand cars are almost everywhere in New Zealand.

Xiao Peng sat in the co-pilot and found a shotgun and compound bow in the back compartment: "Are you going hunting?"

Wren said, "That's right, boss, I'm going to kill that black demon." ”

"Black devil, are you sure you're talking about a goat?" Xiao Peng was a little speechless, how could you say that it was a demon when a sheep bleated such a cute species?

The car didn't drive for long, and the first thing that caught my eye was the sheep, the sheep. A middle-aged woman is grazing sheep there with a shepherd dog. Seeing the two coming, he waved desperately at the car.

After getting out of the car, Wren introduced: "Susan, this is my boss. Owner, this is my wife Susan. ”

Xiao Peng shook hands with Susan, and Susan was a little suspicious: "Wren, how did your boss change? ”

Wren was in the car with a gun, and listened to Susan's words and said, "Okay, there are several of them, I can't remember their names, so I just call them the boss." It's all the people who pay me, aren't they?"

Xiao Peng shrugged, I'm still here, okay? Wren took out a shotgun from the car and put it on his back, holding a compound bow in his hand: "Susan, where are those black goats?"

Susan said, "It's not a group, it's only four!"

Hearing this, Wren stomped his feet on the spot angrily: "Shet, Shet!"

Looking at Xiao Peng's confused expression, Wren asked, "Boss, do you have your passport?"

Xiao Peng nodded confusedly, Wren asked for Xiao Peng's passport, and made a phone call, Xiao Peng listened to it, it was a call to the New Zealand Ministry of Environmental Protection, and after he said a few words. returned the passport to Xiao Peng, and handed the compound bow in his hand to Xiao Peng: "Boss, we may have to run a little more today." After saying that, he took out something similar to a watch from the car and put it in his pocket: "Let's go." ”

Xiao Peng still didn't understand what was going on, but he still followed Wren. Looking at his expression as if he was facing a great enemy, Xiao Peng was also nervous. What's going on here?
