Fifty-seven, the foal black charcoal head
They came out of this stable, and came to another stable, which was full of Arabian horses, and one of the pure white horses caught Tang Ming's attention, he pointed to the horse and asked, "Cornelia, I seem to have seen you ride this horse?"
Cornelia walked over, put her arms around the horse's neck affectionately, and said: "This is my Angela, it was a gift from my father on my eighteenth birthday, it was a little bit at that time, and now it is almost six years old, when I went to school in England, Angela was what I missed the most, I would come back to see it every holiday, now it's okay, I'm back in Australia, I can come over every week to accompany it." ”
Tang Ming felt that Cornelia was the most beautiful at this time, and couldn't help but look at her blankly.
After Cornelia finished speaking, she saw Tang Ming staring at herself in a daze, stretched out her hand and touched her fair and delicate face, and asked, "Tang Ming, what are you looking at, is there something on my face?"
Tang Ming came back to his senses and said with some embarrassment: "No, I'm thinking about something, I think I should also buy a foal and slowly cultivate it to grow up, it should feel very good." ”
"Well, well, that's a really good feeling. Cornelia nodded a few times, agreeing with what Tang Ming said, but said with some concern: "However, it is difficult to see whether the horse has the potential to become an excellent racing horse when it is young, and in the process of foal training, most of the foals will be eliminated and cannot enter the track." ”
Tang Ming smiled: "What's this, I want to buy it because I like it, it's not to make money for me to get it on the field, of course it's good to be on the field, if you can't get on, it's not a big deal." ”
Having said that, with the pool of water in his hands, he didn't believe that he couldn't raise a good racehorse.
Tang Ming's words were very appealing to Cornelia's appetite, and after listening to Tang Ming's words, Cornelia was very happy, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll take you to see the newly weaned foal." ”
They walked in for a while, and saw a fenced area, covered with fine sand, and a few small foals running and frolicking in the sand.
Tang Ming fell in love with a black foal at a glance, pointed to the foal and said, "Cornelia, I like that foal a lot, can you introduce it to me?"
Cornelia looked in the direction of Tang Ming's finger, also saw the foal, and said: "This is a black thoroughbred, a little stallion, now only seven months old, just weaned, although the parents have not achieved any rankings in the race, but the pedigree is good, its grandfather has participated in many breeders' cups, and has achieved a good runner-up result, and has also won some small races, very famous, its father was specially bought by my father from the United States, but unfortunately did not achieve good results." ”
Tang Ming could see that Cornelia really liked horses very much, and every horse in the horse farm could name and even tell their bloodline.
After listening to Cornelia, Tang Ming made up his mind and said, "Just buy this foal, but this foal can only be fostered in the horse farm, I don't have so many professional facilities there, and I don't have a special horse trainer, I will come over every weekend to see it, is it okay?"
Cornelia seemed to see Tang Ming's intentions, looked at him deeply, and said: "Of course you can, in fact, some of the horses in the horse farm are placed here by the horse owners, let me help you ask my father and help you get the best price." ”
"Thank you. Tang Ming said.
Cornelia dialed Baird's phone, talked for a while, hung up the phone, and said to Tang Ming: "This foal is 80,000 Australian dollars, if you want to buy it, go to the finance office to pay the money, this foal is yours." ”
80,000 Australian dollars is a bit expensive for a foal that has not yet been trained, but who called it grandfather to win the third place in the American Breeders' Cup, so Tang Ming did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
After they went to the finance office to pay the money, they returned there, and looking at the running foal, Cornelia said, "Tang Ming, this foal will belong to you in the future." ”
When the foal arrived, Tang Ming was a little excited, stood outside and watched for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Cornelia, can you release it for me to see?"
"Absolutely. With that, Cornelia called the staff and went to the fence to release the foals.
It may be that the environment outside is very novel, and the foal runs around after it comes out, very naughty, and not obedient at all.
Tang Ming walked over and wanted to get close to the foal, but whenever Tang Ming approached it, it would run away, staring at Tang Ming with big eyes not far away, looking very curious, probably thinking in his heart who this strange uncle was?
Tang Ming had no choice but to turn his head and turn to Cornelia with his eyes.
Cornelia showed a super affinity, and soon approached the foal, and stroked the foal's head with her hand, Tang Ming saw this scene, and was about to approach, but before he could get close, the foal ran away again, Tang Ming could only smile helplessly.
Cornelia comforted: "Tang Ming, don't be angry, it's not familiar with you now, it's good after a long time." ”
Tang Ming said: "Then I will try to see it as much as possible in the future." ”
"Hmm. Cornelia nodded and said, "By the way, Tang Ming, you haven't named it yet." ”
Tang Ming asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Cornelia shook her head with a smile and said, "This is your horse, it is your right to name it, and I can't take away your rights." ”
"Well, I think about it. Tang Ming didn't force it, he looked at the foal and began to think about it, and after a while, he remembered a name and said, "Cornelia, how about calling it Black Charcoal." ”
For the three words 'black charcoal head', Tang Ming didn't know how to say it in English, so he had to say it in Chinese.
As for why he gave the foal this name, it was because when he saw the color of the foal, he suddenly thought of the young Bao Qingtian he had seen before, and there were people in it who called Bao Zheng Black Charcoal Head, and the color of this foal was also pure black, somewhat like Bao Zheng's face, which reminded him of this name.
"Hey......" Cornelia tried to repeat the name, but didn't know how to pronounce it.
Tang Ming said: "Come, Cornelia, I'll teach you, black-charcoal-head." ”
"Black-egg-head. Cornelia repeated word for word.
Tang Ming encouraged: "By the way, it's very good, Cornelia, let's say it again, black-charcoal-head." ”
"Black-charcoal-head. Cornelia was very standard this time.
Tang Ming extended his thumb to Cornelia and continued to teach Cornelia a few times, she memorized these three words.
