XXIV. Chestnuts

Tang Ming followed Mike and looked at dozens of horses, and had a certain understanding of how to identify the quality of horses, but if he really wanted to identify them himself, he would definitely be blind, which would take a long time to accumulate, like Mike has been in contact with horses since he was a child, and after decades of accumulation, he has seen more horses, and he has now his eyesight.

In the end, Mike selected seven quartes and three American flower horses for a total of 38,000 Australian dollars, Tang Ming wrote a check to Charlie, Charlie loaded the ten horses into the truck, drove behind Tang Ming and their pickup, and drove towards the ranch.

The cart drove straight to the stable, unloaded the ten horses from the cart, and the horses came to the new place, a little nervous, Mike and a few cowboys hurriedly calmed them down, and after a while, the horses quieted down and began to adjust to their new home.

Charlie left after dropping the horse here, and Mike sent him out of the ranch gate and back to the stable.

Mike walked up to Tang Ming and asked, "Boss, do you like that horse?"

"Me. Tang Ming walked around the stable, looked at all ten horses, pointed to a chestnut quart horse, and said, "This horse has a good color, I like it a lot." ”

Mike said: "Then this horse will be your mount from now on, and you better come and shovel horse manure, brush it, and feed it every morning, so that it can cultivate the bond between man and horse." ”

Tang Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I get up pretty early every day." ”

Then Mike and the others also chose their own horses, Mike and the three male cowboys chose all Quart, and Song Qian chose an American flower horse.

Now the cowboys have mounts and can buy cows.

After eating at noon, Mike and Tang Ming drove off, and spent an afternoon running three or four ranches to buy back a thousand Angus cattle, most of which were half-sized calves, only a few were big cows, and some of them were cows.

The function of each ranch in Australia is different, there are responsible for breeding, there are responsible for breeding, Tang Ming hopes that his own pasture can be both breeding and breeding in the future, he has no ambition to breed a new breed of cattle, but these cattle will eat grass irrigated with pond water in the future, it will definitely be stronger than the cattle that eat ordinary pasture, healthier, and the taste of beef is better, and the offspring will of course be more excellent.

After buying the cow back, Mike led the cowboys to get busy, and they were busy until dark, Tang Ming, as the boss, didn't need him to do any work, but Song Qian also followed the work, and there was no time to cook, so he ran to the kitchen to cook.

Instead of cooking Chinese food, he fried a few steaks and made a fruit salad, and when Mike was done with them, he brought the steak and fruit salad to the table.

"Thank you to the owner. ”

"Boss, I didn't expect you to be able to cook. ”

“……”

Mike and the others were all hungry, and they were able to eat a hot meal as soon as they were busy, which made them very happy, and it was made by Tang Ming, the boss.

Tang Ming said: "Eat it, it's my first time making steak, I don't know if it suits your appetite." ”

Mike cut off a piece of steak with a knife, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and said, "The steak is a little old." ”

Tang Ming didn't mind Mike's directness, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that you like to eat raw steaks, I'll pay attention next time." ”

Song Qian took a bite of the fruit salad and said in surprise: "Boss, this fruit salad tastes very good." ”

Tang Ming said: "The main thing is that the fruit is good, and my craftsmanship is average." ”

He didn't say this out of modesty, but because the fruits used for the salad were all picked from the summer cave and tasted bad.

After this simple but warm dinner, Mike and the others went back to their apartment, there are horses and cows in the pasture, the cowboys will be very busy in the future, they have to get up at five o'clock in the morning, and if they don't go to bed early tonight, they are afraid that they will not be able to get up tomorrow morning.

Tang Ming cut some diced beef for Da Fat and Er Fat, poured a basin of water for them to eat, and he left the house and came to the back of the villa.

Now that it was completely dark, he didn't have to worry about anyone seeing it, so he directly put the empty water tank into the Xia He Cave Sky, took out another water tank full of pool water, connected the water pipe, and began to release water.

He walked to the lake, and there was a scene similar to that of the previous night, when a large school of fish swam over and gulped around the pipe.

He doesn't care, anyway, it's not bad for this pool of water, just treat it as fish farming.

"If you put a box of pool water into the small lake every day, it will take about a month to increase the concentration of the pool water in the small lake to one thousandth, and then the lake water containing the pool water will have some special effects. Tang Ming calculated in his heart.

The pool water can be diluted and used, just because the diluted concentration is different, the effect on plants and animals is also different, the pool water with a concentration of one thousandth is of course not as good as the effect of the pool water with a concentration of 100%, but the pool water is only so much, and the pasture is so large, it is good to be able to use the pool water with a concentration of one thousandth.

Moreover, if you keep putting water into the small lake, the concentration of the lake water will continue to increase, and one day the concentration may reach one percent, or even one-tenth, and then it will have an immediate effect on plants and animals.

Tang Ming looked at the lake for a while, and when he was about to walk back, he suddenly found that more than ten big red and white fish appeared in the lake, very beautiful, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and soon determined that these more than ten fish were koi, and said strangely in his heart: "Did someone put koi fish in the lake." ”

He liked them very much, and wanted to catch them and bring them back to raise, but he didn't have a fishing net, so he was going to buy one when he went to Bruce Ban tomorrow.

He looked here for a while and then went back to the house, Da Fat and Er Fat had already finished eating beef, lying lazily on the ground, and when they saw Tang Ming coming back, they quickly stood up and circled around Tang Ming.

"Let's go, let's go upstairs. Tang Ming shouted and led the big fat and the second fat upstairs.

After bathing the two little ones, he soaked himself in the bathtub for a while, returned to his room with a bath towel draped, and went to bed.

I watched the news with my mobile phone, and when it was almost eleven o'clock, I turned off the lights and turned off my mobile phone and went to sleep.

When I woke up in the morning it was past five o'clock, a little earlier than yesterday.

At this time, Mike and the others had already gotten up and were busy in the stable, Tang Ming walked over and asked Mike how to shovel horse manure, brush the horse, and feed the horse.

Tang Ming was busy for half an hour, cleaning up his horse, then he suddenly thought that he hadn't named the horse yet, he thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a name, he touched the horse's head and said, "In the future, you will call it chestnut." ”

"Hahaha...... Chestnut ......" Song Qian was also in the stable, and when she heard the name Tang Ming gave to the horse, she couldn't help laughing.

The corners of Tang Ming's mouth twitched, and he asked helplessly, "What's so funny about this?"

"Boss, I'm sorry, I really can't help it, hahaha...... What is the name of the horse, how do I feel like a Japanese woman's name? Song Qian hurriedly apologized to Tang Ming, but she couldn't help but laugh again.

Tang Ming was very depressed, didn't he just give the horse a name? Is it so funny? He looked at Song Qian and asked seriously, "Haven't you ever eaten fried chestnuts with sugar?"
